Explanation:

In this scenario, Notren, Inc., a U.S. company, and SWT, a Singapore company, entered into a contract under which SWT is to ship party supplies to Notren.

In the contract agreement, one of the terms of states; "Any disputes that arise under this contract will be resolved in the courts of Singapore."

Hence, this contract term is a choice of forum clause.

A choice of forum clause can be defined as a contractual provision in a contract in which the involved parties stipulates the place of jurisdiction, choice of arbitrators, conciliators, or group of arbitrator or conciliators for any lawsuit, litigations, arbitration, or conciliation arising from the particular contract. In this case, the place of legal jurisdiction is the court of Singapore.

Additionally, a contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law. Also, mutual assent is a legal term which represents an agreement by both parties to a contract. Therefore, mutual assent connotes agreement, acceptance and consent to a contract by both parties.

This ultimately implies that, both Notren Inc. and SWT are in a contract as a result of mutual assent between the two (2) parties.
