Review Binance’s Terms and Conditions before suing Binance

Before you sue Binance in small claims court, make sure you have read through your Binance terms and conditions to determine what procedure Binance requires when you have a dispute and whether you can sue in small claims court.

While some companies have mandatory arbitration clauses, they don’t always choose to enforce them as arbitration can be costly. If you chose to proceed in small claims court despite an arbitration clause in your terms and conditions, it will be up to the judge to decide whether you are able to proceed or it will be up to the company to decide if they would like to enforce the arbitration clause. If you have any doubts, make sure to reach out to an attorney to review your terms and conditions. 

Steps to suing Binance in small claims 

Here is an overview of how to sue Binance in small claims court:

• Step 1: Prepare and File the Lawsuit 

• Step 2: Notify Binance about the small claims lawsuit by serving them correctly 

• Step 3: Prepare for your small claims hearing against Binance 

Step 1: Prepare and File the Lawsuit  

• Prepare the lawsuit using the proper form, this is usually available for download on your local small claims court website.

• The court will want to know why you are suing Binance, how much are you suing Binance for, and finally how you calculated the amount you are suing Binance for.

• You will need to search for the correct legal name (legal entity name) Binance uses in your state on the Secretary of State website for your state. 

• File the lawsuit. There are several ways you can file the lawsuit (1) in person at your local small claims court, (2) by mail (3) electronically (not available in all courts), (4) by fax (not available in all courts).

Step 2: Notify Binance about the small claims lawsuit

• Once the court returns the filed lawsuit to you, the next step is to serve Binance (serving means to notify Binance that they have been sued). 

• There are different rules on how to serve a company in each state so make sure you review the rules for serving. In many states you will need to serve the “agent for service of process” that Binance selects in each state. This is usually a company or person that is authorized by Binance to receive lawsuit documents on its behalf. 

• To serve the small claims court lawsuit on Binance you must serve their "Agent for Service of Process." This is a company that Binance has selected to receive lawsuits on their behalf.

• Always make sure to confirm with the court if there any additional filings you need to complete and file after you have served Binance. 

Step 3: Prepare for your small claim hearing

• Prepare your statement for the judge. Be prepared to tell the judge why you are suing Binance.

• Prepare your evidence. This is one of the most important steps to winning a small claims lawsuit! Evidence like screenshots, emails, and pictures, should be brought to the hearing (you should make a copy for yourself, the judge, and Binance).

The evidence might include: 

• A copy of the complaint you submitted to Binance

• Binance’s response to your complaint

• Communications with Binance

• Screenshots of your account with Binance, including relevant transaction history (remember there is no need to disclose anything that is not relevant for the current lawsuit)
