Which country&#39;s court interprets EULAs and Terms of Services online?
<p>I'm thinking of writing a new kind of EULA for my software and Terms of Service for my art commissions and website. I'm not sure of which country a court interprets those legal documents. I live in Croatia, but the laws in Croatia about electronic goods and services are unknown to me and I have no money to afford a lawyer. I'm not sure if I should afford a lawyer in Croatia if maybe there's a united internet law of some kind where the EULAs and Terms of Services are interpretted.</p>

<p>Who interprets those? May I ask someone who's not in Croatia to write and interpret my EULAs and Terms of Services? Should I ask a free lawyer online? Of which country should that lawyer be?</p>

<p>A court interprets things if you take someone to court. So the first step is to find a court that feels responsible. US courts feel responsible if the case is related to their area. For example, a court in Los Angeles would accept your court case if you lived in Los Angeles, or the person or company sued lived there. You'd need to check when a Croatian court would feel responsible. </p>

<p>The second step is to find out whether the person sued has to obey that court. If your court in Croatia orders someone in Los Angeles to pay you a million dollars, that person will likely just not pay. Unless they visit Croatia, there may be nothing you can do. </p>

<p>The court that looks at the EULA will be the court that you use. </p>
