Am I understanding that by keeping my Coinbase account open after May 27th, I’m waiving my right to participate in a class action?

9.9. Class, Collective, Representative, and Mass Action Waiver and Jury Trial Waiver. You and Coinbase agree that, except as specified in the Batch Arbitration Provision set forth above, each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not on a class, representative, or collective basis or as part of a mass action (such as a mass arbitration), and the parties hereby waive all rights to bring or to participate in such actions in arbitration or in court to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. This provision does not prevent you or Coinbase from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims. YOU AND WE AGREE TO WAIVE OUR RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL. To the extent that any Dispute proceeds in court, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you and we agree to waive any right to a jury trial and have such matter resolved by a judge (also known as a bench trial).

9.10 Forum Selection. Unless you and Coinbase agree otherwise, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the state and federal courts in New York, New York (except for small claims courts, in which case you and we agree to resolve our Disputes in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction) will have exclusive jurisdiction over any Dispute that is not subject to arbitration or over any action involving the applicability or enforceability of the Dispute Resolution section 7 or any portion of the Dispute Resolution section (including the Arbitration Agreement, Appendix 6). You and Coinbase consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of these courts and waive any objections as to: (1) personal jurisdiction or (2) the laying of venue in such courts because of inconvenient forum or any other basis or right to seek to transfer or change venue of any such action to another court.
