You can have a contract that has a "forum-selection clause" but it's far less binding that people assume. For example if there was fraud or duress or undue influence involved in the signing of the contract then the entire contract can be worthless including the "forum-selection clause".

Very true. That is definitely a way around the forum-selection clause and a good way to fight a contract dispute.
