- (1) The provision is printed in capital letters, and other text is printed in capital and lower case letters.
- (2) The provision is printed in a larger, bold, or other typeface different from other text.
- (3) The provision is printed in a color that contrasts with other text.
- (4) The provision is underlined.
- (5) The provision is printed in any other way that highlights the provision in relation to the other text of the contract.
(c) A forum selection provision that violates this section is not enforceable.
