Law: Contract(s)
French term or phrase: élir domicile
Les parties élisent domicile à leur siège social respectif.


I translated this phrase as "The Parties confer jurisdiction at their respective corporate headquarters" but somehow it doesn't sound right.

choose an address for service/address for serving notices


Explanation:
In contracts, the paragraph "Election de domicile" is usually translated as "Address for service or address for serving notices" (See Eurodicautom). This is the address where all contract-related correspondence is served.
Best regards,
Amma
