A forum selection clause in a contract with a Conflict of Laws element allows the parties to agree that any litigation resulting from that contract will be initiated in a specific forum. There are three types of clause:

* the reference might be to a particular court in a jurisdiction agreed upon by the parties (although, if the parties make a mistake as to the power of the nominated court to hear the matter, the civil procedures of the nominated jurisdiction will be applied to identify the appropriate court); or
* the clause might refer to a specific kind of dispute resolution process, such as mediation, arbitration (see arbitration clause, lex loci arbitri), or a hearing before a special referee; or
* the clause might refer to both, requiring a specific process to be carried out in a specific location.

But, if the parties do no more than nominate a forum, this is no more than an indication that they intend that forum's law to apply. There are many reasons why parties may select a forum:
# the forum has established significant expertise in the relevant areas of law, e.g. shipping, charterparties, carriage by air, etc.;
# the standard of judicial decision making may be high:
# there may be no corruption or other outside influence to affect the fairness of the judgments;
# the procedures may be efficient and minimise losses arising through any delay in arriving at a judgment;
# all the major witnesses may be resident within the jurisdiction making the forum convenient

I`m really lucky! Thank you, I`m not so good at all this terminology. Sometimes the sense of words isn`t understandable even in Russian, not talking about English

Можно весь пункт контракта? Скорее всего, имеется в виду некий Цюрихский суд, который стороны избрали компетентным решать споры.
