provides that a particular jurisdiction is the controllable electronic record’s jurisdiction

record’s jurisdiction for purposes of this article or title, that jurisdiction is
the controllable electronic record’s jurisdiction. (3) If subdivisions (1) and (2) of this subsection do not apply and the controllable electronic
record, or a record attached to or logically associated with the controllable electronic
record and readily available for review, expressly provides that the controllable
electronic record is governed by the law of a particular jurisdiction, that jurisdiction
