DIFC

DIFC is a financial centre listed in its own right, inside the United Arab Emirates. A contract made at the door can name it as its governing law. You choose it once, from one chip. The paper then prints that name where the clause goes.

Naming it in a contract

A contract usually names the body of law its words are read under. That line is the governing-law clause. It is commonly one sentence, near the end.

Where a dispute would be heard is a separate question. It is usually a clause of its own, and the two are decided separately. Some papers name more than one place, in different clauses.

The place is printed exactly as the picker names it. Here that is “DIFC”. Nothing on this page is an opinion about what any law requires.

What the door does with it

At the door you describe the deal in one sentence. Governing law sits beside the field as a chip. Press the chip and the picker opens.

DIFC is under Middle East in the picker. Typing part of the name finds it. Pick it and the chip says DIFC. The paper prints the same name in its governing-law clause.

Nothing is chosen for you. Nothing is sent until you press send, and nothing is signed until somebody signs.
