The updated terms specify which Shopify corporate entity you contract with and which courts have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes, based on your store's billing address. Previously, the terms designated contracting parties and courts by region but in separate sections; the revised structure consolidates this information in a single table and introduces Shopify Technology (USA) Inc. as a contracting party for US-based merchants. The practical effect is that merchants in different regions now have explicit clarity on their contracting counterparty and the specific court system that will handle disputes, though the geographic assignment of courts remains substantially similar to prior language.
