Answer: Choice of Law Clause

Step-by-step explanation:

The Choice of Law Clause allows parties in a contract to pick a territory's laws as the laws that the contract between them will be applicable to.

This way uncertainty can be avoided when any of the parties seeks legal redress for any perceived breach of contract.

It is worthy of note that parties do not even need to be from the Territory whose laws have been chosen and this is why some parties look for Territories who have laws that will be favourable to them. This is why most big Corporations pick Delaware law because their laws are perceived to be pro big business.
