c. Forum-selection clauses are attempts by some parties to contracts to take away
jurisdictional rights from the other party, and are generally found to be invalid.

d. A forum-selection clause will specify which courts have personal jurisdiction over the parties to the contract, and for disputes related to the particular contract, the forum-selection clause will control over the general jurisdiction rules.
