Dispute Resolution
In the Dispute Resolution Section only, “we” and “us” are used to refer to you and Panama Posse together.

You agree to contact us with disputes by contacting us at the address provided in these Terms of Use. We will contact you based on the contact information you have provided us.
We each agree to finally settle all disputes (as defined and subject to any specific exceptions below) only by arbitration. In arbitration, there’s no judge or jury and review is limited. However, just as a court would, the arbitrator must honor the terms and limitations in the Terms of Use and can award the same damages and relief, including any attorney’s fees authorized by law. The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with maritime jurisdiction. We each also agree as follows:
“Disputes” are any claims or controversies against each other related in any way to our Websites, Website Content or these Terms of Use – this includes claims you bring against our employees, agents, affiliates or other representatives, and claims Panama Posse may bring against you.
If either of us wants to arbitrate a dispute, we agree to send written notice to the other providing a description of the dispute, previous efforts to resolve the dispute, all supporting documents/information, and the proposed resolution. We will send notice to you based on the contact information you have provided us and notice to us must be sent to: PanamaPosse .
We agree to make attempts to resolve the dispute. If we cannot resolve the dispute within seven hundred and twenty (720) days of receipt of the notice to arbitrate, then we may submit the dispute to formal arbitration.
The FAA applies to this Agreement and arbitration provision. We each agree the FAA’s provisions, not state law, govern all questions of whether a dispute is subject to arbitration.
The arbitration will be administered by a National Arbitration Forum (“NAF”) under its arbitration rules. If any NAF rule conflicts with these Terms of Use, these Terms of Use apply.
Unless we each agree otherwise, the Arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator and will take place at the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, Am Internationalen Seegerichtshof 1, 22609 Hamburg Germany, otherwise, the Arbitration will take at a specified location on the high seas by the Panama Posse. The law of the seas applies to these Terms of Use will also apply during the arbitration.
We each agree not to pursue arbitration on a classwide basis. We each agree that any arbitration will be solely between you and us (not brought on behalf of or together with another individual’s claim). If for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement to arbitrate doesn’t apply and the dispute must be brought in court.
We each are responsible for our respective costs relating to counsel, experts, and witnesses, as well as any other costs relating to the arbitration. However, we will not cover any arbitration administrative or filing fees for a court action in the appropriate jurisdiction if you are seeking 1/1000 th of a bitcoin or more from us.
Either of us may not bring qualifying claims in small claims court.
No Class Actions
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE DISPUTES ON A CLASSWIDE BASIS; THAT IS, TO EITHER JOIN A CLAIM WITH THE CLAIM OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY, OR ASSERT A CLAIM IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF ANYONE ELSE IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING.
