Payment Networks or other payment method providers may either accept or deny Your challenge.

Wix is not a party to this challenge process.
7.3 Refunds
The User shall bear all costs and expenses associated with or resulting from any Refund (including any Service Fees incurred due to the original Transaction, which shall not be refunded). For the purpose hereof, “Refund” means a Transaction Cancellation, which is initiated by the User and results in the reimbursement of the Customer for all or some of the amounts paid in such Transaction. A Refund of a Transaction shall be subject to the existence of sufficient balance in the User Payment Account, such that it is possible to offset the refunded amount from the Settlement Amounts. Wix and the Processor shall have the right to withhold funds in the User Payment Account and/or deduct the associated Refund amount from the User Settlement Amounts, as required to process and pay Refunds. Wix may further decline any Refund when Wix believes that such an order increases the risk of a negative balance, or will otherwise risk Your ability to meet Your liabilities under these Service Terms.

(i) Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Wix agree to resolve any claims relating to these Service Terms or Wix Payments through final and binding arbitration by a single arbitrator, except as set forth under Exceptions to the Agreement to Arbitrate below. This includes disputes arising out of or relating to interpretation or application of this “Mandatory Arbitration Provisions” section, including its enforceability, revocability or validity.
(ii) Opt-Out of Agreement to Arbitrate. You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by sending an email to arb-optout@wix.com within 30 days of being verified for a Wix Payments account.
(iii) Arbitration Procedures. We both agree that the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in the United States county where You live or work (to the extent that You are a U.S. resident), in San Francisco County, California, or any other location we mutually agree on.
(iv) Arbitration Fees & Incentives. The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. Wix will pay all arbitration fees for individual arbitration for claims less than US$25,000. If You receive an arbitration award that is more favorable than any offer we make to resolve the claim, we will pay You US$1,000 in addition to the award. Wix will not seek its attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration, unless the arbitrator determines that Your claim is frivolous.
(v) Exceptions to the Agreement to Arbitrate. Either You or Wix may assert claims, if they qualify, in a small-claims court in San Francisco County, California or any United States county where You live or work (to the extent that You are a U.S. resident). Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of Wix Payments, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above. If the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to You or Your claim, You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in San Francisco County, California to resolve Your claim.
#TLDR
You and Wix agree to resolve any claims relating to Wix Payments or these terms through a single arbitrator.
You can decline your consent to a binding arbitration via email within 30 days of being verified for a Wix Payments account.
The AAA will administer the arbitration under its rules. It’ll be held in the U.S. county you live or work in (U.S. residents), San Francisco County, CA, or any other location we agree on.
We’ll pay all fees for individual arbitration for claims less than $25,000. If you get an arbitration award that’s better than our offer, we’ll pay you another $1,000. We won’t demand attorney fees and costs unless the arbitrator decides your claim is trivial.
Despite the above, we can both bring certain claims to a small-claims court in San Francisco County, CA, or any U.S. county you live or work in. We can both bring a lawsuit for injunctive relief without prior arbitration. If our agreement to arbitrate is inapplicable, you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in San Francisco County, CA.

You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated or representative action.
