Agreement regarding jurisdiction

Whether an agreement regarding jurisdiction is valid ? is a party bound to file suit only before the court mentioned in the agreement ?

In case law permits filing suit in any of  the two or more courts, in that case parties can agree that only one of these courts (as specified in the agreement) will have jurisdiction over such contract.  Such clause however will not be binding if the specified court does not have any jurisdiction over the issue.  For example, if the seller is in Mumbai and the buyer is in Delhi, suit for recovery can be filed either in Mumbai or in Delhi.  However, the parties by agreement cannot provide that the court in Kolkatta will have jurisdiction over the issue.

In an agreement if the pecuniary jurisdiction of dispute is mentioned then particular court shall have jurisdiction

The word exclusive jurisdiction must be found unless the agreement conferring jurisdiction is mere declaration of legal position
