The forum clause reads: “Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this document shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent Commercial Court in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”

What's different about an MOU in Saudi Arabia
The same mandatory Sharia public policy applies to an MOU's terms, and because interest (riba) and purely speculative provisions are unenforceable in Saudi Arabia regardless of the governing law chosen, DealDocs' Saudi-governed templates avoid interest-bearing language entirely rather than including terms that wouldn't hold up.

Frequently asked questions
Can a Saudi MOU include interest-bearing terms?
No. Interest (riba) and purely speculative terms are unenforceable in Saudi Arabia regardless of the chosen governing law, so DealDocs avoids them entirely in Saudi-governed documents.
