Answer 1

in general, the case would heard according to the jurisdiction clause of the contract. however if there is not such clause than the case would be heard according to the subject matter court. Since it is a case of money back, it will be heard in small claims court. Now the issue arises which geogrpahic location case would be heard. It will depend upon the business location where work was undertaken and receiver of the service is located. Since both these are in Virginia we shall take Virginia Court has jusrisdiction over the case.
