The United States Supreme Court has overridden Coinbase’s user agreement, granting district courts the authority to resolve sweepstakes disputes involving Dogecoin rewards.

美國最高法院推翻了 Coinbase 的用戶協議，授予地方法院解決涉及狗狗幣獎勵的抽獎糾紛的權力。

In June 2021, Coinbase launched a Dogecoin sweepstakes promotional event. However, the user agreement contained conflicting clauses about dispute resolution. Coinbase favored arbitration for resolving financial disputes, while users preferred court intervention. Both options were separately detailed in the platform’s agreements.

2021年6月，Coinbase推出狗狗幣抽獎促銷活動。然而，用戶協議包含有關爭議解決的衝突條款。 Coinbase 傾向於透過仲裁來解決金融糾紛，而使用者則傾向於法院幹預。這兩個選項在平台協定中分別詳細說明。

On May 23, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that state and federal courts will have exclusive jurisdiction over controversies related to Coinbase’s sweepstakes promotion.

5 月 23 日，美國最高法院裁定，州法院和聯邦法院對 Coinbase 抽獎活動相關爭議擁有專屬管轄權。

“We conclude that a court, not an arbitrator, must decide whether the parties’ first agreement was superseded by their second.

「我們的結論是，必須由法院而不是仲裁員來決定雙方的第一項協議是否被第二項協議取代。

“The Ninth Circuit’s judgment is affirmed.”

“維持第九巡迴法院的判決。”

Justice Neil Gorsuch, nominated by President Donald Trump in 2017, emphasized that arbitration is a matter of contract.

2017 年唐納德·特朗普總統提名的尼爾·戈薩奇大法官強調仲裁是合約問題。

He stated, “Parties (crypto exchanges and users) can agree by contract that an arbitrator, rather than a court, will resolve threshold arbitrability questions as well as underlying merits disputes.”

他表示，“各方（加密貨幣交易所和用戶）可以通過合約同意由仲裁員而不是法院來解決可仲裁性問題以及潛在的實體爭議。”

The Supreme Court dismissed Coinbase’s argument that the court’s approach could “invite chaos” by enabling challenges to delegation clauses.

最高法院駁回了 Coinbase 的論點，即法院的做法可能會因為對授權條款提出質疑而「引發混亂」。

“We do not believe that such chaos will follow,” the ruling added.

「我們不相信這種混亂會隨之而來，」裁決補充道。

In the U.S., courts are not authorized to intervene in disputes when contracts exclusively contain an arbitration clause.

在美國，當合約僅包含仲裁條款時，法院無權幹預糾紛。

However, when users agree to two contracts—one directing arbitrability disputes to arbitration and the other, either explicitly or implicitly, directing them to the courts—a court must decide which contract governs.

然而，當使用者同意兩份合約時——一份將可仲裁性爭議提交仲裁，另一份明確或暗示地將爭議提交法院——法院必須決定哪份合約適用。
