Clause - Parties to this contract agree to split the cost of Arbitration4. A Forum Selection clause - should the matter go to court in spite of the Arbitration clause or on appeal, parties agree to use a California court.5.

ALSO - One Additional LEGAL CLAUSE of your choice must be added to your contract. - Note: Please place an * ASTERISK in front of this clause - so I can spot it.In addition to your on-line discussion with other students here on Canvas - I suggest you use your text book, a law dictionary, and any other legal source - to assist you with putting together your SLO project / written contract. The LACC library, in the law section, has a nice collection of aids on contract formation if interested. Also - Located at the end of Chapter 20 (Appendix) of your text you should find an "example of a contract for the sale of coffee" to get some ideas.**Do Not, I repeat - do not turn in or create contracts unrelated to the scenario I have given you above! No real estate contracts, apartment rental agreements, retail sales agreements, etc. - you will NOT receive credit for unrelated agreements! Simply follow the instructions above, communicate with fellow students on the DISCUSSION link here on Etudes, or send your questions to me.I urge you to read ahead in your text book to "The Formation of Sales and Lease Contracts" - you will find an Example Contract in your textbook "XYZ Company is seller and Starbucks Coffee is the buyer" - it may be helpful for ideas.
