The issue
Contract language does not automatically select the governing law. Choosing law and choosing courts or arbitration address different questions.
What to prepare
Agree performance, deadlines, complaints and the prevailing language version. Check clauses and enforceability in the counterparty’s country. Clear drafting must still respect applicable mandatory rules.
General information, not advice on an individual case. Sources consulted on 22 October 2026: check updates before acting. The overall portal review is ongoing. This note does not certify a complete check of every page.
A confirmed order does not guarantee payment. A request to change bank details may be fraudulent; protection depends on the contract, payment method and applicable law.
Promoting deals and buying goods for resale are different activities. Calling everyone a “partner” can obscure pricing, responsibilities and termination consequences.
