the business should the business become unable or unwilling

(as a special dividend).

E. Insurability (This is the "Fine Print")
1. Indemnity
The insurance company indemnifies, or compensates, the
shareholders in the case of certain losses only up to the
lower of the shareholder's interest and the trust amount.
2. Insurable interest
The shareholders must directly suffer from the loss; the
shareholders have a "stake" in the loss or damage to the
assets insured.
3. Utmost good faith
The business is bound by a good faith bond of honesty and
fairness. Material facts must be disclosed.
4. Contribution
Insurers which have similar obligations to the insured
contribute prior to any contribution by CPA.
5. Subrogation
CPA acquires legal rights to pursue recoveries on behalf of
the insured; for example, the insurer may sue those liable
for insured's loss.
6. Causa proxima, or proximate cause
The cause of loss (the peril) must be directly related to
the breaking of the business's contract for financial gain
at the shareholders' expense.
7. Mitigation - Before, and in case of any loss or casualty,
the business must attempt to keep the loss to a minimum, as
if the asset was not insured.
F. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
1. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this
contract, or the breach of this contract, shall be settled
by binding internet arbitration at judge.me in accordance
with the judge.me arbitration agreement. The arbitrator's
decision shall be final and legally binding and judgment may
be entered thereon.
2. The business must indemnify (make whole) CPA's incurred
legal fees if they lose their claim, limited to the amount
required to be paid by CPA to judge.me.
3. All judge.me fees related to this contract must be paid in
bitcoins.
