Bido reserves the right to refuse use of the Service to anyone at any time for any reason without notice.

3. Use of Bido’s Site and Service

Prohibited Use: Bido only permits use of the Service by registered users. You may not engage in any data or e-mail mining, attempt to access or interfere with another user's account or use of the Service, manipulate any portion of the Service, exceed Your limited access to the Service permitted by Bido or take any other action which is not expressly permitted in this Agreement or the Guidelines.

4. Account Termination:

Bido may terminate Your account at any time for any reason without notice or explanation.

5. Offers & Purchasing of Domains:

Buyers and Sellers (each as defined below) making offers must honor all Accepted Offers placed in any transaction, and are obligated to complete the transaction with Bido or the respective Buyer or Seller. An "Accepted Offer" is defined as either (1) the offer accepted by the Buyer or Seller (as applicable) in a regular transaction (i.e., a transaction that does not list a "Buy Now" price) or (2) the first offer made by a Buyer that meets the Buy Now price, as indicated on the Site. (Please see below for further information regarding "Buy Now" pricing). By making an offer in the transaction the Buyer agrees to honor all listed terms of sale including, but not limited to, method of payment, appropriate state sales tax, and service fees. Failure to honor this obligation may result in the termination of the Buyer's registration and financial penalties and charges.

Offer Retraction: Offers are not retractable except under circumstances deemed appropriate by Bido, at Bido’s sole discretion. Possible examples include instances when Bido makes material changes to the description of an item, or when blatant typographical errors are present.

Users making offers agree to complete an agreed transaction within 10 business days of receiving an Accepted offer. Bido has the right (without limiting its other rights or remedies) to cancel any offer or offer in process at any time, if either the Buyer or Seller is deemed to be non-responsive in the transaction process. In any such event, in Bido’s sole discretion, the domain may be sold to the second highest bidder at such bidder’s former bid or other agreed bid. If no agreement is reached between the Bidder (“Buyer”) and Seller, Bido may extend the reach of the bidding pool to subservient and other bidders for the domain at issue. Needless to say, non-payment for a domain won buy a Buyer or Bidder is grounds for immediate dismissal and cancellation of their account, as well as grounds for banning such a user or his agents and representatives, from utilizing or creating other Bido accounts. It is agreed and understood that the responsibility for payment rests in the hands of the Buyer (winning Bidder).

Manipulating Offers: Offer manipulation in any form, and for any reason is strictly prohibited and Bido hereby puts participants of such behavior on notice that such practices may be violative of criminal law, and Bido may make relevant authorities aware of such practices.

6. Listing/Selling/Buying:

Bido will contact you when and if your domains are approved to be auctioned or otherwise sold using the Bido Service. This will be in accordance with Bido’s Auction Guidelines as posted on Bido.com and may change in Bido’s sole discretion from time to time. Bido and the Site serves as a trading platform to allow users to offer to sell and buy domain names, complete web sites and content, and/or web-based businesses (collectively, "Domains"). Bido only gets involved in a resulting transaction to collect a fee for Services, except as otherwise specified in this Agreement or as otherwise agreed by all parties.

Except as otherwise provided in any applicable posted terms, users offering their Domains for sale or lease ("Sellers") may list their Domains in the Service database. If You post a "Buy Now" price, You are obligated to sell the Domain at that price if a Buyer offers that price. Subject to such Buy Now offers or any other Accepted Offers, Sellers are free to delete their Domains from the Service database at any time without cost. Bido may charge Buyers a commission for sales completed as a result of the Service. Except in the case of Buy Now pricing (in which case fixed fee can be calculated prior to an Accepted Offer), You have an opportunity to review the formula for calculating the fees that You will be charged, per our Site, before going forward with any transaction, but our exact fee may not be calculated until there is an Accepted Offer. Moreover, you acknowledge that Bido reserves the right to charge an additional fee (in excess of the fee that may be specified on our Site) for Accepted Offers in excess of $5,000 (or such other applicable price limit set forth on the Site) due to higher administrative costs that may be associated with such higher priced transactions.

Prospective Buyers or lessees of Domains ("Buyers") may enter search terms into the Service Platform database to look for offers, and to enter offers for certain entries. These offers and the responses of the Sellers will be forwarded to the other party via the email addresses provided as part of user registration. Bido cannot guarantee that any particular offer or response will be transmitted to the intended recipient. Buyers are to pay for domains within Ten Business Days. Failure to pay may result in the maximum fine allowable by law. You understand and agree to provide true and accurate contact information in registration. You understand and agree that Bido is not acting as a fiduciary to the extent freed from that duty by law; in an ongoing effort to provide the best possible service please make sure your contact information is correct. Bido.com may, but is not required to, contact you via telephone or otherwise, during live auctions in order to verify the bidders and the bids placed and for other reasons associated with your account; it is therefore imperative to provide and keep your contact information current and up to date. Failure to provide correct information may delay bidding, account approval, warrant termination of service, and is a breach of the Bido.com terms of service agreement.

In the event that a Seller and Buyer negotiate an agreement for the purchase and sale of a Domain via the Service, Bido reserves the right (but shall not have the obligation) to require that the Buyer and Seller execute a standard purchase and sale agreement supplied by Bido. In addition, Buyer and Seller agree that the purchase and sale transaction shall be managed by Bido in accordance with the terms of Bido's Domain Transfer and Escrow Services as described below. The fees for Bido's Domain Transfer and Escrow Service are posted as set forth on the Site in various places and may change at any time.

Should the registration of a Domain that is the subject of an Accepted Offer be in risk of expiring with its relevant domain registrar, or if the expiration date lies within the next sixty (60) days from the date of an Accepted Offer, Seller agrees to renew the Domain registration and is solely responsible for any costs or fees associated with such renewal. Buyer and Seller are each respectively responsible for any related fees charged by his/her registrar and/or service provider. Subject to Seller's renewal obligations noted above, Buyer understands that following transfer of the Domain to Buyer, Buyer shall be solely responsible for renewing the domain name and any costs and fees associated with such renewal.

7. Rules Regarding Listing Domains:

The following Domain listing requirements and obligations apply to your use of the Service:

(a) The Seller agrees to set up a user account and to fill out the registration form completely and accurately.

(b) Domain names are the result of, and are subject to all of the conditions, limitations, and restrictions contained in, domain name registration agreements between the Seller and a third-party domain name registrar or other service provider. As such, the transferability of domain name registration may be limited, prohibited, or otherwise subject to conditions imposed by the domain name registrar or service provider. Subject to and without limiting Seller's obligations and representations herein, nothing in this Agreement or on the Site shall be construed as a representation by Bido that the Seller possesses any rights to a Domain beyond those specified in the Seller's agreement with the relevant domain name registrar or service provider.

(c) As a Seller of a Domain listed on the Service, You represent and warrant that: (i) You have registered the domain name with the appropriate domain name registrar or other registration authority; (ii) Your registration of the domain name that you offer for sale is current and not subject to deletion, cancellation, rescission, or deactivation by the applicable domain name registrar or other registration authority and was not obtained by fraud, misrepresentation or other improper means; (iii) You have not taken any action that would impair Your ability or right to transfer the domain name registration or any other aspect of the Domain and no such action has been taken against You; (iv) the Domain does not and has not been used in such a manner as to infringe the rights of any third party, including, but not limited to, trademark, copyrights, patent rights or naming or publicity rights; (v) the Domain is not the subject of any legal disputes or proceedings challenging Your right to register or use the Domain; (vi) You will accurately describe the subject listing; (vii) You own and have the right to sell the domain name and other content, if any, listed as part of your Domain; and (viii) if Your offer to sell and transfer the Domain is accepted, You will complete the transaction with a ready, willing, and able Buyer. You will not under any circumstances list or transfer the rights to any Domain that You do not have sufficient rights to transfer or that is illegal to transfer under applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, the representations and warranties set forth in this paragraph are made for the benefit of both Bido and Buyer, each of which may take appropriate action in the event of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties by Seller.

(d) As Seller, You agree not to list any Domains which violate this Agreement and/or Bido Guidelines. Bido may refuse to list, or remove the listing for, any Domain which, in Bido's sole discretion, may potentially infringe or violate the proprietary rights of any third person or any other Domain, or which in Bido's sole discretion, is inflammatory, offensive, inconsistent with Bido's general policies or Guidelines, or otherwise may infringe any proprietary right of any third party.

(e) As Seller of a Domain, You agree not to enter an offer for Your own Domain and not to instruct other persons to do so. In addition, any user manipulation of Domain listing statistics is prohibited, including, but not limited to, manipulating or otherwise falsely inflating traffic statistics represented to Buyer during the course of negotiation or those which are measured and displayed by Bido.

(f) You will not Yourself, nor will You allow or enable another, to directly or indirectly interfere or attempt to interfere with the operations of the Site or the Service.

(g) You, as Seller, agree to keep any data which You have added to the Service up-to-date. If a Domain has been sold or is no longer available for sale, You are to remove it from the database - not doing so may result in financial penalty and charge to Your account for lost transaction fees. Furthermore, as Seller, You agree to remove a Domain from the Service immediately if a warning has been issued, or as soon as any notice or knowledge has been received that the rights of a third party or applicable laws could be violated by the listing. This shall apply until legal clarification of the situation has been made in a manner acceptable to Bido in its sole discretion.

(h) You, as Seller or Buyer, agree to accept, reject, or make a counter offer on any offer received within 7 days of receiving such offer. Bido has the right to cancel any offer or offer in process at any time, if either the Buyer or Seller is deemed to be non-responsive in the transaction process.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or on the Site, Bido reserves the right to remove any Domain from the Service at any time with or without prior notice and for any reason or no reason at all.

(ii) RETURNS: Return policy: Give the unique nature of our business and transactions all sales are final and no exchanges and/or refunds will be permitted. Upon payment clearing our account your domain name will be transferred to one of Bido's approved registrar partners.

8. Minimum Offers & Set Prices;

If the Seller states a Buy Now price, then an offer for the stated sales price is binding unless the Domain listing in Seller's user account had been changed and the change had been reflected on the Service database prior to Seller's receipt of an offer from a Buyer at the Buy Now price. The sales price is considered to be the end price for the Buyer including any taxes for the Seller.

If the Seller does not state a Buy Now price, the Domain listing serves as an invitation for Buyers to submit an offer for the purchase and sale of the Domain that is the subject of the Domain listing, but Sellers are not required to accept any such offers.

If the Seller states a minimum offer, the Domain listing serves as an invitation for Buyers to submit an offer equal to or in excess of the stated amount for the purchase and sale of the Domain that is the subject of the Domain listing, but Sellers are not required to accept any such offers.

9. Escrow Service For Transferring Domains.

Description of Service

Bido's Domain Transfer and Escrow Service (the "Escrow Service") provides assistance with the purchase and transfer of Domains. Bido may act as a buyer and/or seller, or as the representative of a buyer or a Seller, or as a broker. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, Bido or Bido’s agent, who may change from time to time in Bido’s sole discretion, will act as a secure technical and financial intermediary and will hold the purchase price and the domain name in escrow for the Buyer and the Seller during the change of ownership process. Upon conclusion of the change of ownership process, Bido will release Buyer's funds from escrow and forward the purchase price to the Seller, less applicable fees and may change ownership to the buyer in this process. Unless Bido decides otherwise in its own discretion, Bido will use domain escrow account and ICANN Accredited Registrar, Moniker.com to collect funds and to ensure safe and secure change of ownership. However, Bido may at its sole discretion, allow the change of ownership to occur at any registrar of its choice during this process. Further terms and conditions applicable to the Escrow Service are set forth in our Escrow Services Policies and Procedures and such terms and conditions are deemed a part of this Agreement. Bido may, but is not required to, screen domains entered to be listed for auction, by requiring that all contact emails related to a domain’s whois data of public record, are the same, and further that if there has been more than two transfers within 365 days of the domain’s being submitted – in which case, Bido may reject the domain(s) submitted.

9(A) Escrow Licensing:

Users of the Service understand and agree that issues related to licensing concerning rights, abilities, and actions taken to escrow any domains, or relating to any products, services, or activities associated with Bido, Bido Services, or Bido-related endeavors, are the responsibility of the escrow organizations themselves, even if those agencies are acting as agents of Bido, and that participants using the Bido Services and endeavors previously mentioned shall have no action or claim against Bido regarding such licensing, but agree to take up such issues with such escrow agencies themselves.

10. Costs & Fees

Except in the event that the fee is calculated as a percentage of the total amount paid by the Buyer to the Seller for the Domain and cannot be calculated until there is an Accepted Offer, the amount of the fee for the Domain Transfer and Escrow Service is specified on the Site and is subject to change from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, You acknowledge that Bido reserves the right to charge an additional fee (in excess of the fee that may be specified on our Site) for Accepted Offers in excess of $5,000 (or such other applicable price limit set forth on the Site) due to higher administrative costs that may be associated with such higher priced transactions. Buyer is responsible for a one percent (1% escrow) fee charged by our third party escrow agent. Buyer is responsible for any fees associated with payments not made by bank check or wire such as credit card and/or PayPal or other online payment method.

10(A) Charge-backs:

In addition to any fees that escrow or related organizations may charge Users in participating in the Bido Service, Bido reserves the right to charge a $30.00 fee for returned checks and a $150 fee for credit card charge backs, the right to use Collection agencies to collect any & all fees incurred due to charge backs, to report negative credit information to the major credit bureaus, to charge a fee for domain registrations that are being listed or participated in the Service which are not being renewed of up to $250, to charge a $25 fee for hosted domains who’s hosting accounts are late or defunct and may reflect in broken page views. For international customers: check or money order funds must be drawn in US dollars and payable by US banks.

11. Country Code Extensions & Unique Situations

In the event of Domain transfers that concern the purchase and sale of a Domain which the Seller had listed on the Service, the Seller shall be responsible for paying the Bido Domain Transfer and Escrow service fee unless otherwise agreed to by Bido.

When a Domain is transferred from the Seller to the Buyer, further costs can be incurred, based upon the participating registry and registrar providers. In no event shall Bido be liable for such costs. The responsibility for these payment obligations are defined by the relationship of the Seller to the provider. This can include, but is not limited to, the responsibility of the Seller to pay for a registration renewal when the domain is set to expire within the next sixty (60) days from the time agreement was reached.

12. Transferring Your Domain

Reaching an Agreement

In the event of an Accepted Offer between the Buyer and the Seller, Bido reserves the right to provide and require execution of a separate online purchase and sale contract for the Buyer and Seller with respect to the sale of the Domain that was the subject of their negotiation. Depending upon the processing status of the transaction, the other contractual partner's respective data may be made anonymous until the transaction is complete. Should either party fail to meet to their obligations under this Agreement, the identity of the breaching user may be provided to the injured user upon request only if Bido allows such a request.

Obligation of Buyer to Make Payment to Designated Escrow Account

After agreement is reached for the purchase and sale of a Domain, Bido shall contact the Buyer via email to request the transfer of the amount due to Bido's escrow account where it will be safeguarded until completion of the Domain transfer. Upon said request, the Buyer is obligated to remit payment of the amount owed to Bido's escrow account. Failure to remit payment to Bido's escrow account within thirty (30) days of when the request email was sent to the Buyer from Bido may be considered a material breach of this Agreement, entitling, but not requiring, Seller or Bido to take appropriate action in accordance with this Agreement. It is agreed and understood that any default or monies due Seller from Buyer shall be the obligations of Buyer and not Bido.

Transfer of Domain

Once an Accepted Offer has been received and reported to Bido, the Domain transfer process from the former owner (the Seller) to the new owner (the Buyer) shall commence. Bido shall then instruct the Buyer and the Seller of the Domain as to the required steps and best practices involved in the technical Domain Name transfer process. A prompt and orderly transfer of the Domain can only be accomplished if Bido's instructions to the Buyer and Seller are strictly followed. As such, the Buyer and Seller are obligated to fully cooperate with each other and Bido, and failure to so cooperate may be considered by Bido as a breach of this Agreement.

Successful Transfer and Payment of Purchase Price

Upon successful transfer of the Domain to the Buyer, the payment of the amount owed to the Seller shall be remitted in a timely manner. A successful transfer of a Domain Name has taken place when the Buyer's registration data has been updated in the WHOIS database of the relevant domain name registry and the Buyer has assumed technical control of the Domain. In the event that Bido assumes temporary control of the Domain to be transferred on a discretionary basis, then a successful transfer may be considered to have been made at that moment in which Bido obtains control of the Domain and the Seller has lost control of this Domain.

Unsuccessful Transfer and Repayment

In the event that the transfer is ultimately unsuccessful without fault or breach of this Agreement by the Buyer, the payment submitted to Bido's escrow account shall be returned to the Buyer.

Publication Rights

The Buyer and Seller agree that Bido shall have the right to publish the name of the domain name sold as well as the respective purchase price on the Site or in other places for reference purposes. This shall not apply if either the Buyer or Seller objects to the publication, provided that objection must be received by Bido in writing before completion of the domain name transfer and escrow process described herein.

Penalties for Failing to Perform Obligations

Bido reserves the right to cancel the Domain transfer and escrow transaction if one of the parties to the purchase and sale agreement fails to fulfill its obligation to cooperate in the transfer process after two (2) requests are made by Bido via the email addresses provided in that party's user account ("Failed Transfer").

In the case of a Failed Transfer, Bido reserves the right (without limiting any of its other rights or remedies) to collect any applicable commission fee from that party who has violated his/her obligation to cooperate.

Bido also reserves the right to collect any applicable commission fee from either party for the sale of any Domain listed in the Service but sold outside the Service if Bido determines that the Buyer and Seller were introduced in any way through the Service.

Certain Rights of Bido in the event of a Dispute between the Parties

In the event that the purchase price to be paid by the Buyer has been transferred to the applicable escrow account and the Domain has been transferred to the Buyer in whole or in part, neither party shall have the right to compel Bido to cancel said transfer or payment. In the event that the parties become involved in a dispute at any time during the transfer and escrow process, Bido may set a deadline for the parties to reach an agreement. In the event that said deadline passes without a resolution to the dispute then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, Bido shall have the right (but not the obligation) to release the purchase price to the Seller and the Domain to the Buyer in accordance with the Accepted Offer and be entitled to its fees and commissions. For clarity, any such action taken by Bido shall not prevent the Buyer and Seller from arbitrating the dispute in accordance with the Dispute Resolution/Binding Arbitration paragraph below.

13. Disclaimer

BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT BIDO SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM FOR DAMAGES (INCLUDING ATTORNEY'S FEES) IN CONNECTION WITH, OR ORIGINATING OR ARISING FROM A FAILED TRANSFER ABSENT EVIDENCE OF INTENTIONAL WRONGDOING OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF BIDO.

INVESTIGATION/EXAMINATION OF THE DOMAIN FOR THE EXISTENCE OF CONFLICTING RIGHTS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PRIORITY OWNERSHIP RIGHTS, TRADEMARK RIGHTS, AND/OR VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE LAW, IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SELLER LISTING THE DOMAIN FOR SALE AND THE BUYER.

You agree further that any dispute You may have with Bido or that Buyer and Seller may have with each other (other than those set out in the paragraph above) shall be adjudicated exclusively by binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") pursuant to the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules and any such arbitration shall take place in Palm Beach County, Florida.
