It's nice that you bothered to read the contract you entered into with epass before making these lovely sweeping claims:

This Agreement and any dispute between You and Us arising out of or related hereto, except for allegations that You have infringed or have threatened to infringe Our intellectual property rights, shall be exclusively governed by and subject to the laws of the St. Kitts, without regard to any principles of conflicts of laws thereof, whether or not Your ePassporte Account or any Cards associated therewith are used outside St. Kitts. Venue for any suit or claim arising out of or related hereto, except for allegations that You have infringed or have threatened to infringe Our intellectual property rights, shall exclusively be in the courts of St. Kitts, and by entering into this Agreement You irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction of the courts of St. Kitts.

And guess what. I know what my time is worth. I know how much of my time would get eaten up trying to sue a company like epassporte. If your time is worth so little that eating up endless hours suing over $35 makes sense, I guess you're right it might be worth it. That doesn't make me and idiot it just means I have much much better things to do. It also means you might want to consider getting a job.
