JANUS DEFENSE SYSTEMS™ | STRATEGIC BRIEFING – WEEKLY UPDATE (NDA-PRX-7) — PSA Strategic Briefing Edition

JANUS DEFENSE SYSTEMS – PSA

Subject: Section IX Update – Jurisdiction & Venue
Applies to: All parties under NDA-PRX-7

JANUS DEFENSE SYSTEMS has formally revised Section IX of its binding agreements to reinforce sovereign legal control, accelerate protective action, and ensure jurisdictional integrity across all engagements involving proprietary technologies, strategic frameworks, and dual-use assets.

Updated Legal Provisions & Strategic Rationale

• Governing Law: Republic of Texas

All contractual disputes, enforcement actions, and interpretive matters will be governed exclusively by the laws of the Republic of Texas.
Why it matters:
JANUS maintains operational sovereignty within a jurisdiction that aligns with its ethical, constitutional, and strategic values. Texas law offers robust protections for proprietary technologies, rapid injunctive relief, and enforceable non-disclosure frameworks—making it the optimal legal environment for high-stakes innovation.

• Venue: Harris County District Court or Federal Court, Southern District of Texas

All legal proceedings must be initiated and resolved within designated courts in Harris County or the Southern District of Texas.
Why it matters:
This venue selection ensures proximity to JANUS headquarters, strategic legal counsel, and jurisdictional familiarity. It eliminates venue shopping, reduces logistical risk, and reinforces territorial control over sensitive legal matters.

• Equitable Relief: Immediate injunctive action permitted without bond

JANUS reserves the right to seek immediate injunctive relief—such as cease-and-desist orders or asset freezes—without the requirement of posting a bond.
Why it matters:
This provision enables rapid response to breaches, leaks, or hostile interference. It removes procedural delays and financial barriers that could otherwise hinder urgent protective action. For technologies with national security or humanitarian implications, speed is non-negotiable.

• Jury Trial Waived: All parties waive jury trial rights

All parties under NDA-PRX-7 agree to resolve disputes through bench trials or arbitration, waiving the right to jury adjudication.
Why it matters:
Bench trials offer greater predictability, confidentiality, and technical precision—especially in cases involving complex IP, export controls, or sovereign protocols. This waiver reduces exposure to public proceedings and mitigates reputational risk.

• Sovereign Override: Activated if jurisdiction is compromised

If the designated jurisdiction becomes legally or politically compromised, JANUS reserves the right to assert sovereign override and relocate proceedings to a secure alternative venue.
Why it matters:
This clause ensures continuity of legal protection even in volatile geopolitical conditions. It affirms JANUS’s commitment to self-determined legal resilience and protects against coercive venue shifts or hostile legal interference.

Strategic Imperative

These provisions are not merely legal formalities—they are foundational to JANUS’s operational integrity. As a systems architect operating across defense, humanitarian, and cinematic domains, JANUS must ensure that its technologies, frameworks, and partnerships are shielded by enforceable, sovereign legal protocols.
