TERMS FOR SELLING YOUR DOMAIN NAME(S) on AfternicDLS

Fees: In addition to any other fees which may be payable by Seller, Seller is responsible for applicable taxes, costs, hardware, software, services and all other costs and expenses you incur for the participation in the activity conducted over our website.

Verification: Company has no control over the accuracy, quality or legality of advertised third-party Domain Names, the truth or the accuracy of the listings, the right and the ability of the listed seller to transfer the Domain Name or the ability of a buyer to consummate a transaction. Company cannot and does not control whether or not third-party seller(s) or buyer(s) will complete a transaction. Additional risks arise out of dealings with foreign nationals, underage persons or people acting under false pretense or making deceitful representations, all of which are borne solely by the buyer or seller, as appropriate. Company does not confirm that users who access its website are who they claim to be. Company encourages You to exercise reasonable, safe business practices as You would in any other commercial activity.

If you receive an offer to purchase the rights to a Domain Name at or above your "Reserve" or "Floor" price, as established by you when you list a Domain Name for sale with the Company., then you are obligated to complete the transaction.

You understand that a Domain Name you have listed for sale may, at the Company's discretion, be listed for sale with one or more of our reseller distribution partners.

You may not place any bids or offers to purchase the Domain Name that you have listed for sale, either under your own Name, an alias, or any entity in which you maintain a controlling interest.

Without limitation of any other remedy, Company reserves the right to suspend, terminate and remove your listing at any time and without prior notice if it reasonably believes that you have engaged in any fraudulent activity in connection with your posting or if Company is of the opinion that you have breached any of your representations under this Agreement, or violated any of the terms of this Agreement or of any of Company policy.

TERMS FOR BIDDING ON EXPIRING DOMAIN NAMES IN THE AFTERNIC AUCTION

Afternic Expiring Domain Name Auctions have two phases: the preorder period and the live auction period. During the preorder period, before a name is in live auction, you can place a preorder on a domain name. This preorder ensures that: 1) the name will go to auction unless it is withdrawn, and 2) you will be included in the auction once it goes live. A PreOrder is a bid placed on an expiring domain before its live auction begins. At least one member must preorder the domain in order for it to go to auction. Once the domain auction begins, your preorder bid is legally binding. You can only delete your preorder before the start of the live auction.

For reasons beyond our control a domain name listed during the preorder period may become unavailable. Therefore, Afternic cannot guarantee that a preordered domain name will become available in an auction and has no liability if a domain name for which you have submitted a preorder is withdrawn and is not available at auction, If a name is withdrawn from the Afternic Expiring Domain Names Auction, your preorder will be cancelled. Your credit card is not charged until you actually win and pay for a domain, so you will not incur any fees if a domain name for which you have submitted a preorder is withdrawn by Afternic.

If one or more Afternic customers have preordered a particular domain, Afternic will conduct an auction for the domain, and the domain will subsequently be awarded to the highest bidder in such auction. If you are the winning bidder when the auction ends, you are obligated to pay the amount of your winning bid.

If one or more Afternic customers have preordered a particular domain and in the course of the subsequent auction no bids are placed, Afternic will award the domain to the customer with the highest preorder amount.

If two or more customers preorder a domain for an identical amount, then the customer who submitted his or her preorder first will be the current highest bidder for such domain when the auction begins. If there are no subsequent bids on such domain name in the auction, then the domain will be awarded to the customer who placed his or her preorder first

Once you confirm your preorder or your bid, if you bid on a name through our "bid now" feature, you have made a legally binding bid on the domain name, and if there are no other bidders or higher bidders you have agreed to purchase the domain.

The start time and end time that is set for an auction is an estimate. Actual start and end times may vary somewhat. An auction for a domain name will be extended by five additional minutes if in the final five minutes before the announced end time a new bid is received for the particular domain name being auctioned.

While Afternic will use reasonable commercial efforts to provide information to you via email regarding your preorder and bids for a domain name, Afternic cannot guarantee that all such emails will be delivered to you and we caution you not to rely solely on email for the status of a domain name. Information that we will endeavor to send you via email will also be posted to your 'My Afternic' account.

Afternic may in our sole discretion require the winning bidder to tender payment to us in a manner of our choosing, including but not limited to credit card, check, or wire transfer. Payments and fees collected by Afternic for the purchase of an auctioned domain name are non-refundable, in whole or in part. In the event of a charge reversal or chargeback by a credit card company or other payment provider, or if we determine in our sole discretion that we are unable or unlikely to collect payment, any associated domain registration will immediately terminate and/or the domain name registration will be transferred to Afternic as the paying entity for the registration. Afternic may, in our sole discretion, award the reclaimed domain name to the next highest bidder in the relevant auction and charge such bidder their highest bid amount, or make the domain name subject to a new auction among bidders determined by Afternic, or otherwise dispose of the name.
