TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE

1. NATURE OF THE PLATFORM AND AGENCY

1.1 Passive Venue Declaration

The Platform acts strictly as a passive technical venue that facilitates the connection between sellers ("Sellers") and buyers ("Buyers") of domain names ("Domains").

• We are not the buyer or seller of the Domains.
• We are not an auctioneer, broker, or escrow agent (except as a limited payment agent as defined in Section 4.2).
• We do not hold title to any Domain at any time.
• The contract for the sale of a Domain is formed exclusively and directly between the Buyer and the Seller. We are not a party to that transaction and have no responsibility for its performance.

1.2 Business-to-Business (B2B) Service

You represent and warrant that you are using the Platform for business purposes (i.e., for the buying, selling, or investment in digital assets for commercial gain) and not as a consumer. To the extent permitted by law, statutory consumer protection regulations (including the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013) do not apply to transactions on this Platform.

2. USER ACCOUNTS AND IDENTITY

2.1 Accuracy of Information

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration. You are strictly prohibited from using false identities or impersonating any person or entity.

2.2 Verification

To comply with the Online Safety Act 2023 and anti-fraud regulations, we reserve the right to verify your identity using third-party services. Failure to provide verification documentation upon request is a material breach of these Terms and may result in immediate account suspension and forfeiture of pending transactions.

3. SELLING AND BUYING DOMAINS

3.1 Seller Warranties

By listing a Domain, the Seller represents and warrants that:

• Ownership: You are the sole legal registrant of the Domain and have the unencumbered right to transfer it.
• No Infringement: The Domain does not infringe upon the trademark, copyright, or other intellectual property rights of any third party. You acknowledge that you are solely liable for any cybersquatting claims.
• Transfer Readiness: The Domain is unlocked, free of administrative holds (including ICANN 60-day locks), and you possess the valid EPP/Authorization Code.
• Digital Asset Property: You acknowledge that under the Property (Digital Assets etc.) Act 2025, the Domain is personal property, and selling a Domain you do not own constitutes the tort of conversion, for which you will be held personally liable.

3.2 Buyer Obligations

• Due Diligence: The Buyer is solely responsible for investigating the value, history, and legal status of the Domain before purchase. The Platform makes no representation regarding a Domain's SEO value, traffic, or freedom from blacklists.
• No Refunds: You acknowledge that all sales are final. Once the EPP/Authorization Code has been revealed or the push transfer initiated, the service is deemed fully performed, and no refunds will be issued.

4. PAYMENTS AND THE "STRIPE GUARANTEE"

4.1 Payment Processing

We use Stripe, Inc. ("Stripe") as our third-party payment processor. By using the Platform, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Connected Account Agreement and the Stripe Services Agreement.

4.2 Limited Payment Agent (The Guarantee Mechanism)

To ensure the safety of the transaction for the Buyer, the Seller hereby appoints the Platform as its limited payment collection agent.

• Effect of Payment: Receipt of funds by the Platform (via Stripe) from the Buyer constitutes receipt of funds by the Seller.
• Buyer Protection: Once the Buyer pays the Platform, the Buyer’s payment obligation to the Seller is extinguished. If the Platform or Stripe fails to settle funds to the Seller, the Seller’s recourse is solely against the Platform/Stripe, and the Seller must still transfer the Domain to the Buyer.

4.3 Chargebacks and Disputes

• Waiver: You agree not to initiate a chargeback with your payment provider for any reason, including "Item Not Received" or "Significantly Not as Described," without first exhausting the Platform's internal dispute resolution process.
• Recovery: If you file a chargeback that is deemed by us to be a "friendly fraud" or without merit, you explicitly authorize us to:
  • Deduct the disputed amount plus a £150 administrative fee from your account balance or connected bank account.
  • Pursue the debt through third-party collections agencies.
  • Report the incident to relevant credit reference agencies.

5. TRANSFER OF DOMAINS

5.1 Definition of Delivery

Delivery of a Domain is legally deemed complete when the Seller provides the Buyer with a valid EPP/Authorization Code or initiates a "Push" transfer to the Buyer's account at the same registrar.

5.2 Transfer Gap Liability

The Buyer assumes all risk of loss during the period between the provision of the EPP Code and the final propagation of the transfer ("The Transfer Gap"). The Platform is not responsible for technical failures, registrar delays, or the Buyer’s failure to input the code correctly.

6. DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

6.1 "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE"

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

6.2 Release of Liability

YOU HEREBY RELEASE THE PLATFORM, THE OPERATOR (OCTAVIAN PROCOPOVICI), AND ITS AFFILIATES FROM ANY DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF:

• (A) THE CONDUCT OF ANY BUYER OR SELLER;
• (B) ANY DISPUTE REGARDING THE TITLE OR OWNERSHIP OF A DOMAIN;
• (C) ANY FAILURE OF STRIPE TO PROCESS A PAYMENT;
• (D) ANY TECHNICAL FAILURE OF THE INTERNET OR DOMAIN REGISTRATION SYSTEM (DNS).

6.3 Monetary Cap

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT OF FEES YOU PAID TO THE PLATFORM IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM; OR (B) ONE HUNDRED POUNDS STERLING (£100).

7. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Platform, the Operator, and our agents from and against any and all claims, costs, proceedings, demands, losses, damages, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees) arising from:

• Your breach of these Terms.
• Your violation of any law or the rights of a third party (including Intellectual Property rights).
• Any claim that a Domain you listed or sold infringes on the trademark of a third party.

8. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

8.1 Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of England and Wales.

8.2 Binding Arbitration

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be referred to and finally resolved by binding arbitration in London, England. You hereby waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action lawsuit.
