Generally speaking, the flavour of courts who have power to resolve any litigation concerning your agreement. In a cross-border agreement it is usual to state the governing law and whose courts have jurisdiction; in a purely domestic agreement they will not, it's being assumed that local law and local courts will always prevail.
