I signed up for a trade and the other party did not finish the trade in time.  
We opened a ticket and after a week it got sent to mediation.  
If we both accept, we get our BTC back.

The problem is that the other party will most likely not log-in anymore to accept/reject the mediation.  
What happens next? After the 2 weeks, will the outcome still be the same if the admin decides so? (we both get our coin back)

It’ll go into [Arbitration](https://docs.bisq.network/trading-rules.html#arbitration) and you’ll get all the funds if the other trader didn’t fulfill their part of the trade.
