Jurisdiction depends upon the place wherein the cause of action has arisen. Nothing is needed more.

I agree with Sh. Raj Kumar Makkad

Add another clause that all disputes are subject to jurisdiction of Indian courts only so any foreign student may not drag you to off shore locations.

When an NGO which is capable of launching e-learning web-site that too hosted through a foreign server, it can afford to obtain legal opinion from its attorneys. They do not mind to spend money as their earnings are hefty.

Consult a lawyer and show him all the papers / discuss all aspects.

It is always better to get a proper advise from an attorney about the jurisdiction issue by apprising him with proper details and getting his opinion in writing to avoid any of the anticipated legal issues.

Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 02 June 2014
Even if the jurisdiction clause is mentioned, the jurisdiction of the courts in whose area the cause of action has arisen, cannot be withdrawn. The jurisdiction of the courts has been provided by way of laws which cannot be taken back from it by merely making a contract between two parties/persons.
