53As regards a term which is included, without being individually negotiated, in a contract between a consumer and a seller or supplier within the meaning of the Directive, where it confers exclusive jurisdiction on a court in the territorial jurisdiction of which the seller or supplier has his principal place of business, the Court has held, in paragraph 24 of Océano Grupo Editorial and Salvat Editores, that it follows that such a term must be regarded as unfair within the meaning of Article 3 of the Directive in so far as it causes, contrary to the requirement of good faith, a significant imbalance in the parties’ rights and obligations arising under the contract, to the detriment of the consumer.
