Legal Expenses Security Requirement
1. Post-Filing Security Requirement
In any legal action against Blockchainsure arising from or relating to the Services, or any matter connected with your use of the Services, the following security for expenses shall be required within 30 days after filing of the complaint, unless modified by court order:
- For claims $10,000.01 to $50,000: $5,000 security
- For claims $50,000.01 - $200,000: $15,000 security
- For claims $200,000.01 - $1,000,000: $50,000 security
- For claims over $1,000,000: 10% of claim amount, not to exceed $200,000
Additional Technical Complexity Multipliers:
(i) The base security amount shall be increased by:
- 100% for claims involving smart contract auditing
- 100% for claims involving cross-chain transactions
- 200% for claims involving multiple blockchain protocols
(ii) Expert Witness Security
For claims requiring technical expert testimony (as determined by the subject matter of the complaint):
- Additional security of $25,000 per anticipated expert area
- Areas include: blockchain architecture, financial systems, cryptography, smart contract development, network security, artificial intelligence
- Court may adjust additional security amounts based on case complexity
(iii) Foreign Plaintiff Requirements
For plaintiffs not domiciled in the United States:
- Base security amount increases by 50%
- Must designate a U.S. agent for service of process
- Additional security may be required for cross-border discovery
(iv) Vexatious Litigant Provisions
(a) Enhanced Security is required if Plaintiff has filed 3 or more lawsuits in past 5 years and or has a history of similar claims.
(b) Enhancement:
- Base security amount increases by 300%
- Cannot be satisfied through installments
(v) Litigation History Impact
Court shall consider:
- Prior litigation history
- History of frivolous technical claims
- Pattern of voluntary dismissals
The multipliers specified above shall be applied additively. For example, if a claim involves both smart contract auditing and cross-chain transactions, the base security amount shall be increased by 200% (100% + 100%). In no event shall the total security requirement after applying all applicable multipliers exceed 500% of the base security amount.
2. Exemptions
This security requirement shall not apply to:
- Claims of or under $10,000
- Claims brought in small claims court
- Actions solely for injunctive relief
- Civil rights claims
- Consumer protection claims under state or federal law
- Claims where the court determines security would impose substantial hardship
3. Security Administration and Satisfaction
(a) Acceptable Forms of Security.
The security requirements set forth herein may be satisfied through cash deposit with the court, third-party bond from a licensed surety, or other security arrangement approved by the court.
(b) Deposit Requirements.
All security deposits shall be held in the court registry and placed in interest-bearing accounts where practical. Such deposits shall be used solely for documented defense costs and remain subject to judicial oversight throughout the proceedings.
(c) Maintenance and Impairment.
The required security amount must be maintained throughout the litigation. An automatic stay of proceedings shall take effect if the security amount falls below ninety percent (90%) of the required amount ("Impairment"). The filing party shall have ten (10) business days to cure any Impairment. If documented defense costs exceed eighty percent (80%) of the deposited security amount, plaintiff shall deposit additional security equal to fifty percent (50%) of the initial requirement within fifteen (15) business days of notice. Failure to deposit additional security shall result in an automatic stay of proceedings until compliance. The court may order additional security based on changed circumstances.
(d) Release Conditions.
No security shall be released until (i) all appeal periods have expired or all appeals have been resolved with finality, (ii) all costs have been documented and approved by the court, (iii) all technical expert fees have been settled as evidenced by filed satisfactions, and (iv) the court has approved such release.
(e) Return of Funds.
The court shall determine reasonable defense expenses through noticed motion practice within 45 days after satisfaction of all release conditions set forth in Section 3(d). Any excess security amounts shall be returned within thirty (30) days after the court's determination of reasonable defense expenses. All accrued interest shall be awarded to the prevailing party. The court initially accepting the security shall retain jurisdiction over all security-related matters regardless of subsequent transfer or removal of the underlying action.
4. Modification and Hardship Provisions
(a) The court may modify or waive the security requirement upon showing of:
- Income at or below 200% of federal poverty level
- Active bankruptcy proceedings (verified by case number and jurisdiction)
- Representation by a recognized legal aid organization
- Other substantial hardship
(b) Government entities shall receive a 50% reduction upon verification of status.
(c) Any party may move for modification of these requirements based on:
- Repeated litigation history
- Anticipated litigation costs
5. Technical Context and Court Discretion

These security requirements reflect the complex nature of blockchain and financial technology litigation, including specialized technical expert testimony, blockchain forensic analysis, smart contract audits, distributed system discovery, and protocol-level technical consulting.
(b) Cost Factors.
Security amounts account for heightened discovery costs, multiple technical expert requirements, blockchain transaction analysis, smart contract security audits, and technical infrastructure analysis typical in this sector.
(c) Risk Assessment.
Courts shall consider the rapid evolution of blockchain and artificial intelligence technologies, intersection of multiple technical domains, costs of technical discovery and forensics, expert witness requirements, and complex digital asset calculations when evaluating security adequacy.
(d) Judicial Authority.
Nothing in these requirements shall limit the court's inherent authority to:
(i) Modify security requirements based on case-specific circumstances;
(ii) Consider individual hardship or merit;
(iii) Permit initial filing of claims;
(iv) Grant emergency relief where appropriate; or
(v) Adjust requirements as technological advancement warrants.
(e) Continuing Jurisdiction.
The court shall retain jurisdiction to modify these requirements as justice requires, particularly in light of technological changes affecting litigation complexity and costs.

Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remainder shall continue in full force and effect.
If any portion of the Legal Expenses Security Requirement is found unenforceable, the court shall modify such portion to the minimum extent necessary to achieve enforceability while maintaining its essential purpose of ensuring security for reasonable defense costs in technical litigation.
