Can parties waive the Hague Service Convention requirements through a contract? The answer depends on how the agreement is drafted. In some cases—like Rockefeller Tech v. Changzhou Sinotype—courts upheld waivers when contracts clearly outlined jurisdiction and notice procedures. However, in others, such as Cawthon v. Zhousunyijie, courts found the waiver insufficient, especially when service was attempted via email, violating HSC rules. The key lies in how service and notice are addressed in the contract.
