If you don't have any connection with California, the state court of CA has no jurisdiction over you. The company can sue you only in Federal court if it brings the case in California. If in case it brings the case to state court, you can ask to dismiss the case on the ground of lack of jurisdiction. If the company brings the case to Federal court in CA, you also can ask to move the case to the state where you live. Either situation will make the case much more complicated and the lawsuit will take longer time, thus costing more money. I think more likely the case will be settled before it gets into the court. You need to find a good lawyer if the company insists to sue. Good luck!
