How do you do it with traditional financial instruments? You probably sign a long-term contract with some agency just as you would if you were signing up for a credit card. Or you could simply not worry about arranging any kind of arbitration for such a low-value purchase, or simply just use fiat currency for those things (there's no reason it can't continue to coexist with cryptocurrencies).
