  3. Payments:

    A domain name purchased by Buyer during the Auction or brokerage transaction must be paid for in full within seven (7) business days of the close of the Auction. Payment must be remitted via wire transfer, cashier's check, or personal check. If payment is performed via personal check NameJet may delay delivery of the purchased domain name until such personal check clears.

Policies

Please be sure to review the policies before submitting or scheduling a domain for auction.

Sellers can promote domains for auction by referring others to the NameJet marketplace and forwarding all leads and inquiries to your NameJet Account Executive.

Sellers cannot do the following:

  • Take any action to avoid fees while under non-circumvent or exclusivity terms (see examples below).

    Examples of circumvention of the NameJet fees include, but are not limited to:

    • Contacting potential buyers or bidders with the intention of avoiding fees by selling a domain outside of the live event or extended online auction and NameJet marketplace.
    • Requesting an auction cancellation or removing a domain submitted for consideration in an auction.
    • Setting a reserve price above the market value in an attempt to gain exposure for a sale outside of the NameJet marketplace.
    • Directly selling a domain to an interested party within one year that was a direct or indirect result of sales and marketing efforts of a Live or Extended Auction; such as exposure generated from articles, press releases, advertising and sales any other activities.
  • Attempt to avoid paying any applicable fees on the sale of a domain outside of the NameJet marketplace while under an exclusivity period.
  • Accept a Bid through auction or private brokerage communications and then later renege/cancel the acceptance of the sale for any reason.
  • Bid on a domain that is owned or represented by the seller, often referred to as shill bidding.
  • Misrepresent any data or information provided about the domain including traffic statistics, revenue, use complaints, ownership rights, or legal proceedings.

(See the seller agreement for exclusivity and non-circumvention details.)

If a policy violation occurs, commission fees are immediately due, an auction may be ended and parties involved may be prevented from participating in the NameJet marketplace.
