23.5. 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 POS Products, 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.

24. No Class Actions

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. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are expressly not allowed. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable or otherwise void, then the entirety of this Mandatory Arbitration Provisions section will be deemed void.

These POS Terms will be governed by California law, except for its conflicts of law principles.
