Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This clause establishes the procedural mechanism for dispute resolution, channeling all covered disputes into arbitration and eliminating class action procedures. The exception for small claims court and IP injunctive relief establishes carve-outs to the arbitration requirement for specific dispute categories.

The updated terms clarify that users in England will have disputes resolved through the London Court of International Arbitration, with disputes governed by New York law rather than English law. Previously, England was not explicitly listed in the dispute resolution table, creating ambiguity about which arbitration rules and governing law would apply. The revised language removes this ambiguity but establishes that England-based users will proceed through arbitration in London under New York substantive law. Users in other regions (Asia-Pacific, China/Hong Kong/Macau, and worldwide locations) see reorganized dispute resolution tables with the same arbitration rules and governing law, but clearer formatting.
