Dutch term or phrase: onder uitsluiting van....
Dear friends,

I am not translating from Dutch to English, but I need to understand what is said here, because I am translating a text from English into Latin, but one of the chapters have been changed and only a Dutch source is available so I can change the Latin too.

NL: Alle geschillen tussen XXXXXXX BV en U worden, (onder uitsluiting van alle mogelijke niet-Nederlandse rechtsprekende instanties aangewezen op basis van lokale, staats-, nationale en internationale bevoegdheids wet- en regelgeving) exclusief voorgelegd aan de bevoegde rechter te Amsterdam, Nederland.
*****************************
I have a translation of all the paragraph, but the original had "with the exception of...": EN: All disputes between you and XXXXXXX B.V. shall (with the exception of all and any non-Dutch judicial institutions designated....)

We have been told that only that phrase have been changed into: onder uitsluiting van...)

The agency says that it means "to the exclusion of", but I can't understand this translation.

What does this mean?

Thank you for your help...

The case will exclusively be submitted to the judge in Amsterdam, even if non-Dutch juridictions are involved, even if they are designated by ...

That's the meaning IMO
