Once the Buyer and Seller (and Broker when applicable) have agreed to identical Transaction Detail Screens for a specific underlying Transaction, both Buyer and Seller (and Broker when applicable) have agreed to the Transaction Escrow Instructions and these Terms by selecting the "Agree" button at the bottom of the Transaction Detail Screens, these instructions shall constitute a binding agreement between all parties.

After Buyer and Seller (and Broker when applicable) both select the "Agree" button, the terms, conditions, and other details of the Transaction Detail Screens constitute the Transaction Escrow Instructions to govern the Underlying Transaction between the Buyer and Seller (and Broker when applicable). Should it become necessary to add a supplemental instruction(s), or to make any addition to, deletion from, or alteration to the Transaction Detail Screens, all parties (Buyer, Seller, escrowprotectbuysell.com, and Broker when applicable) must execute any supplemental instruction, addition, deletion or alteration thereto (collectively the "Supplemental Escrow Instructions”). escrowprotectbuysell.com reserves the right to reject any Supplemental Escrow Instructions and to terminate the Escrow Transaction as provided herein.

31. General Description of Services.

  1. The Underlying Parties may enter an Underlying Transaction for the sale and purchase of many different types of personal property, goods, or items (“Merchandise”), excluding those prohibited in these Terms or by escrowprotectbuysell.com. The Underlying Parties may also enter an Underlying Transaction for the provision of services (“Seller Services”), excluding those prohibited in these Terms or by escrowprotectbuysell.com
  2. The Underlying Parties shall each log onto the Site daily to confirm the status of the Escrow Transaction. The status of any Escrow Transaction can only be confirmed by the Underlying Parties by logging into the Site. The accuracy of automated messages sent by Escrow.com must be confirmed by the Underlying Party by logging into the Site to check the status of the Escrow Transaction. Except as otherwise required by Applicable Law, the Underlying Parties may not rely on verbal or written advice from Escrow.com staff concerning the status of any Escrow Transaction.
  3. A Buyer and Seller may complete an Escrow Transaction with or without a Broker. When a Broker is involved, additional instructions specified below shall apply. A Broker shall become an Underlying Party only if the Broker is identified for the Escrow Transaction. Other brokers have no rights hereunder, and Buyer and Seller have the sole responsibility for financial arrangements with such brokers.

32. Shipping and Tracking of Purchased Items.

  1. Upon receiving Buyer’s cleared funds, and where the Merchandise is a physical item, escrowprotectbuysell.com will email Seller to ship the Merchandise, where appropriate, which will require Seller to log on to the Site to confirm secured funds, unless all Parties agree to a different method of notification. Upon Seller’s verification, Seller shall ship the Merchandise to Buyer based upon information provided in the Buyer’s profile or as otherwise provided in the Transaction Escrow Instructions, and Seller shall have the Merchandise insured for full value to Buyer. The Underlying Parties shall choose a shipping method that provides online tracking information. Seller will be responsible for all shipping damage if insurance is not available to cover the damage. Seller shall complete and submit the shipping information to the Site on the same day on which the Merchandise is placed in the carrier’s possession, confirmation of which shall be emailed to all Parties, unless they agree to a different method of notification.
  2. The Buyer Inspection Period (as agreed to on the Transaction Detail Screens) shall be calculated in calendar days and shall commence upon the first to occur of either:
    1. Buyer’s acknowledgment of receipt of Merchandise; or
    2. the Site’s receipt of verification of delivery to Buyer via the shipper’s or registrar’s tracking services.
  3. Unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by the Underlying Parties, if Seller has not shipped the Merchandise within 10 calendar days after escrowprotectbuysell.com sends notification (through email or posting on the Site) of Buyer’s deposit of immediately available funds, Buyer may request a return of the Escrowed Funds, minus the Escrow Fees, and escrowprotectbuysell.com will remit the funds back to Buyer after notifying the Underlying Parties.
  4. Unless the Underlying Parties agree otherwise, Buyer is responsible for any duties, customs fees or other charges resulting from an international Escrow Transaction, which shall be included in the purchase price. The shipping Party shall properly declare the Merchandise and its value for customs procedures.
  5. The Seller agrees to cooperate with and follow all additional instructions provided by escrowprotectbuysell.com to ship the Merchandise, not ship the Merchandise, or request return of the Merchandise, as directed by escrowprotectbuysell.com

33. Buyer's Acceptance; Disbursement of Funds.

  1. During the Buyer Inspection Period, Buyer must either click the “Accept” or “Reject” button and follow all further instructions on the Site to accept or reject the Merchandise by following the instructions on the Site or on a partner marketplace site. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Buyer also has the option to reject the Merchandise. For clarity, acceptance or rejection are executed by way of clicking on the relevant buttons on the Site, clearly identifiable, confirming Buyer’s acceptance or rejection of the Merchandise. In the event that the Buyer fails to either click the accept or reject button on the escrowprotectbuysell.com platform, or through a partner marketplace or to follow all further instructions, then Buyer shall be deemed to be satisfied with the Merchandise and deemed to have accepted it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for Escrow Transactions involving IPv4 Numbers, Buyer shall not be permitted to reject the IPv4 Numbers if the recipient Regional Internet Registry’s (“RIR”) Whois records reflect Buyer or its designee as the registrant of such IPv4 Numbers, and Buyer’s clicking of the “Reject” button shall have no effect on escrowprotectbuysell.com authority to close the Escrow Transaction or Seller’s (and Broker’s) right to receive the Escrowed Funds as set forth above.
  2. Escrow.com will disburse the Escrowed Funds as follows:
    1. If Transaction Escrow Terms reflect that Buyer has agreed to pay for shipping and/or any portion of the Escrow Fees, then those costs shall be collected as Buyer’s funds and remitted with the purchase price. At Close of Escrow, Escrow.com will pay Seller, from the Escrowed Funds, the purchase price and shipping fee itemized in the Escrow Transaction, less any payment for shipping fees (unless Seller has agreed to pay for shipping) and will disburse the Escrow Fees to escrowprotectbuysell.com
    2. If the Transaction Escrow Terms reflect that Seller has agreed to pay for shipping and/or any portion of the Escrow Fees, then at Close of Escrow, escrowprotectbuysell.com will pay to Seller from the Escrowed Funds the purchase amount, less any fees due to escrowprotectbuysell.com, and less any other fees the Seller is obligated to pay (such as broker’s fees). Shipping fees will be deemed paid outside of the Escrow Transaction.
  3. If a Buyer Inspection Period ends without Buyer’s involvement, escrowprotectbuysell.com at its sole discretion may provide Buyer notice regarding the ending of the Inspection Period within 24 hours. escrowprotectbuysell.com is under no obligation to provide such 24-hour notice and shall not be liable if such notice is not provided. It is always the Buyer’s ultimate responsibility to login to the Buyer’s Account in the escrowprotectbuysell.com system and check the status of their transaction.
  4. Where a Buyer uses the Escrow Services through a partner marketplace, then the Buyer must click the accept or reject button for the Escrow Transaction on that partner marketplace and follow all instructions from escrowprotectbuysell.com in relation to the Escrow Transaction.

34. Buyer Rejection Process.

  1. Buyer is responsible for all Escrow Fees if the Escrow Transaction is cancelled, or the Merchandise returned. During the Buyer Inspection Period, Buyer may reject for any reason by clicking the “Reject” button and follow all other instructions on the Site for rejecting the Merchandise. Upon such rejection, escrowprotectbuysell.com will email Seller concerning Buyer’s rejection and return of the rejected Merchandise. Buyer shall promptly return the rejected Merchandise to Seller within 10 calendar days after receiving notice of the rejection, and shall insure, at Buyer’s expense, the returned Merchandise’s value during shipment to the place designated in Seller’s profile. Buyer shall be responsible for shipping the rejected Merchandise at Buyer’s expense (unless otherwise agreed by the Parties). For the avoidance of doubt, it is the Seller’s responsibility to notify escrowprotectbuysell.com of any change of address as soon as possible. If Seller does not advise escrowprotectbuysell.com of Seller’s change of address in writing at least 48 hours prior to a rejection of Merchandise under this Section, Seller agrees that Seller’s last known address as contained in the records of escrowprotectbuysell.com will be Seller’s current address for the purposes of this Section. Seller must reasonably cooperate to allow the opportunity for Buyer to return the rejected Merchandise if Buyer timely rejects the Merchandise. Seller agrees it will not take steps to avoid the return of rejected Merchandise. Buyer will be responsible for all shipping damage if insurance is not available for any reason to cover such damage. Buyer is aware that the Merchandise must be rejected in the manner described in these Terms to obtain a refund.
  2. If Buyer rejects Merchandise in violation of these Terms or any other terms of acceptance and rejection applicable to the Underlying Transaction, Seller shall not be prohibited by these Terms from pursuing any available right or remedy against Buyer available under Applicable Law.
  3. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that regardless of the reason for rejection, Buyer must return the rejected Merchandise to Seller for Escrowed Funds to be returned to Buyer. If Buyer fails to return the rejected Merchandise in accordance with these Terms within the specified time-period, escrowprotectbuysell.com is hereby authorized to pay Seller the Escrowed Funds, minus the Escrow Fees.
  4. If the Underlying Transaction involves a domain name and Buyer rejects the domain name within the Buyer Inspection Period, unless the domain name is being held by escrowprotectbuysell.com pursuant to a written agreement, Buyer must cause return of the domain name to Seller within 10 calendar days of Buyer’s rejection. If Buyer fails to cause return of the domain name timely, escrowprotectbuysell.com is hereby authorized to pay Seller the Escrowed Funds minus the Escrow Fees. Seller shall cooperate in the return process of the domain name. In the event the domain name transfer to Buyer has caused the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to impose a registrar lock, Seller will open an account at the receiving registrar to take possession of the domain name or the Escrowed Funds will continue to be held in escrow until this period expires and the domain name can be returned to Seller’s registrar.
  5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for Underlying Transactions involving IPv4 Numbers, Buyer may reject the IPv4 Numbers only if the Whois records of the recipient RIR do not reflect Buyer or its designee as the registrant of the IPv4 Numbers (as confirmed by escrowprotectbuysell.com), in which case Buyer’s rejection shall be deemed Buyer’s automatic return of the IPv4 Numbers to Seller. If, in such event, Seller accepts the return of the IPv4 Numbers (as further described below with respect to IPv4 Numbers), escrowprotectbuysell.com shall refund the Escrowed Funds to Buyer, minus the Escrow Fees.

35. Authentication Services

  3. The relationship between the Underlying Parties and the referring external marketplace and Merchandise authentication service is independent of the relationship between the Underlying Parties and escrowprotectbuysell.com where it concerns the escrowprotectbuysell.com Escrow Transaction. In no circumstances will escrowprotectbuysell.com be liable for any loss suffered by the Underlying Parties resulting from the Underlying Parties’ engagement with an external marketplace or merchandise authentication service.
  4.

When the Underlying Parties engage with an external Merchandise authentication service, the following will generally apply:
    1. When the authentication service and external marketplace determine that the Merchandise that is the subject of the Escrow Transaction is unauthentic or when authentication is unsuccessful, it is the responsibility of the Underlying Parties to engage with the authentication service and external marketplace to ensure the Merchandise is returned to the Seller.
    2. When the authentication service and external marketplace determine that the Merchandise subject of the escrowprotectbuysell.com Escrow Transaction is authentic or when authentication is successful, it is the responsibility of the Underlying Parties to engage with the authentication service and external marketplace to ensure the Merchandise is received by the Buyer. A determination made that the Merchandise is authentic or that authentication is successful will not affect the Buyer Inspection Period, and Buyer may reject the Merchandise for any reason by clicking the “Reject” button and following all other instructions on the Site for rejecting the Merchandise.

  9. When the Underlying Parties use escrowprotectbuysell.com in connection with a transaction on an external marketplace and use its authentication service, escrowprotectbuysell.com shall in no circumstance be liable for goods that are not returned or in any way damaged or altered in connection with the authentication service or involvement of external marketplace in the Escrow Transaction.
  10. When merchandise that is subject of an Escrow Transaction is transacted using an external marketplace, and an authentication service is used in connection with that external marketplace, this authentication service is managed and operated exclusively by that external marketplace and not by escrowprotectbuysell.com.

  12. Escrow.com may, in its discretion, institute Arbitration or a judicial proceeding (including interpleading the Escrowed Funds with a court of competent jurisdiction) to resolve any Dispute in an Escrow Transaction.

41. Integrated Affiliate. If an entity’s site is integrated to the Site in whole or in part for the purpose of data transmission, that entity shall be considered an integrated affiliate (“Integrated Affiliate”) and shall be bound by the Transaction Escrow Instructions and Supplemental Escrow Instructions (if any) effective when the terms pass from Seller’s site (and Broker’s site when applicable) to the Site. Seller (and Broker when applicable) shall be bound by the Transaction Escrow Terms and any Supplemental Escrow Terms effective when Buyer clicks the “Agree” button, thereby attaching Buyer’s Digital ID.

42. Time Limits.

  1. Should the Site or the Escrow Services be unavailable, or the Underlying Parties jointly desire to extend the Buyer or Seller Inspection Periods, then Escrow.com may in its discretion extend such times, and will provide prompt email notification to all Underlying Parties. Except for escrowprotectbuysell.com extensions, the Inspection Periods shall not be modified.
  2. If the Site is unavailable to inform escrowprotectbuysell.com of any acceptance, rejection or return of an item, then the affected Underlying Party shall notify escrowprotectbuysell.com within the applicable time limit either by calling Escrow.com +1-415-801-2270 or emailing from the support form ticket This notification will not be considered effective until Escrow.com notifies the Underlying Parties of receipt via email or by updating the Transaction Detail Screen.

43. Payments.

  1. All Escrowed Funds payable to one of the Underlying Parties shall be paid as soon as possible to the applicable Account following Buyer’s acceptance, Seller’s acceptance, or the resolution of a dispute. If Buyer overpays, escrowprotectbuysell.com shall reimburse the overpayment upon the Close of Escrow. If an Underlying Party is overpaid, the recipient shall promptly return the overpaid amount to Escrow.com. The recipient shall also pay any postage costs and/or wire fees if an alternate payment is requested. The Underlying Parties shall also hold Escrow.com harmless from any loss arising from currency conversion.
  2. If Buyer chooses credit card as the method of payment, escrowprotectbuysell.com may charge Buyer’s credit card when Buyer selects the Form of Payment from the Transaction Detail Screen. Buyer shall provide documentation to validate identity. escrowprotectbuysell.com may refuse a credit card or other form of payment for any reason and need not disclose the reason. If refusal occurs, the Escrow Transaction shall be considered cancelled twenty (20) calendar days after escrowprotectbuysell.com notification to Buyer of the refusal and Buyer’s failure to cure within that period. All Escrowed Funds disbursements shall be made by mailing a regular check, unless otherwise requested by the payee. Alternatively, the payee may receive a credit back to a credit card or other payment source if authorized to do so by the credit card company or other payment source.
  3. Payments made by check shall be subject to a 10-day hold.
  4. Due to processing delays, payments by credit card, debit card or PayPal Account shall not be on deposit with Escrow.com until the Business Day on which the funds are actually deposited into escrowprotectbuysell.com designated account.
  5. Escrow.com does not accept forwarding or ‘pushing’ of ACH payments to escrow accounts. An ACH payment will only be accepted where it has been expressly approved and authorized by escrowprotectbuysell.com in writing and in advance of that ACH payment being made. Where the Underlying Parties request approval for payment by ACH, and where this method of payment is approved by Escrow.com for an Escrow Transaction, the ACH payment will be initiated by escrowprotectbuysell.com or its payment gateway and not by the Underlying Parties. In no circumstances will an ACH payment be accepted as a valid payment where it is forwarded, initiated, or ‘pushed’ into an escrow account by the Underlying Parties to an Escrow Transaction. It is understood that any ACH transaction must comply with U.S. laws and NACHA rules. Except as required by Applicable Law, escrowprotectbuysell.com is not responsible for any errors in the completion, accuracy, or timeliness of any transfer properly initiated by escrowprotectbuysell.com in accordance with joint written instructions occasioned by the acts or omissions of any third-party financial institution or a party to the transaction, or the insufficiency or lack of availability of Your funds on deposit in an external account. In the instance that a refund is required from a transaction funded via ACH, Escrow.com requires the party responsible for funding the transaction to submit a recall request from the originating institution. If the institution is unable to execute a recall, we must receive written notification stating that the institution cannot perform a recall. With further consideration, a refund may be executed by escrowprotectbuysell.com.
  6. Upon any payment or other disposition of the Escrowed Funds, the Escrow Transaction shall be deemed closed and final with no further obligation by the Parties. If after an Escrow Transaction is closed and escrowprotectbuysell.com has distributed proceeds, a Buyer (and Broker when applicable) who has made a payment by ACH or credit card instructs the bank or card issuer to stop payment or make a charge back so that escrowprotectbuysell.com does not receive the payment or the previous credit from the bank or card issuer is reversed or “charged back”, Buyer (and Broker when applicable) shall be deemed to have materially breached these Terms. If such breach occurs after the Escrow Transaction closes, damages in the amount of the stopped payment, reversal or chargeback plus an additional amount equal to escrowprotectbuysell.com actual costs, losses, or damages as a result of such stopped payment, reversal, or chargeback will be imposed, which amount is reasonable in light of (i) the anticipated or actual harm caused by the breach; (ii) the difficulties of proof of loss; and (iii) the inconvenience or non-feasibility of otherwise obtaining an adequate remedy.

44. Escrowed Funds.

  1. In accordance with California Financial Code § 17409 (and similar code sections of other states’ laws, as applicable), escrowprotectbuysell.com will hold Escrowed Funds in a non-interest-bearing deposit account with any institution acceptable to the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (or similar state agency of other states) and insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The maintenance of such accounts may result in escrowprotectbuysell.com or its Affiliates’ receiving certain bank services, accommodations, or other benefits by the bank, none of which shall redound to the Underlying Parties’ benefit.
  2. Unless otherwise requested as specified herein and permitted by law, the Escrowed Funds do not earn interest. If the Underlying Parties anticipate an extended period before the Close of Escrow, they may jointly request by email, and escrowprotectbuysell.com may approve, in its discretion, the deposit of the Escrowed Funds into an interest-bearing deposit account, in compliance with California Financial Code § 17409 (and similar code sections of other states’ laws, as applicable), escrowprotectbuysell.com will maintain the account at the bank holding escrowprotectbuysell.com other deposit accounts.

Should Seller agree to accept payments from Buyer for a domain name, and request that escrowprotectbuysell.com hold the domain name while these payments are being made, then Buyer, Seller and escrowprotectbuysell.com shall execute a separate agreement in form and content acceptable to all Parties to govern https://escrowprotectbuysell.com/ holding of the Escrowed Property.
  4. If an Escrow Transaction requires https://escrowprotectbuysell.com/ to hold the Domain Name for a designated period (“Domain Name Holding Transaction”), the Underlying Parties agree to be bound by the domain name holding instructions, terms, and documents set out at https://escrowprotectbuysell.com/, and any other written terms or conditions agreed to by the Underlying Parties and escrowprotectbuysell.com may reject, for any reason or no reason, any such additional terms or transaction documents, and any Supplemental Escrow Terms, or terminate the Escrow Transaction as provided herein. In a Domain Name Holding Transaction, the Underlying Parties may not assign their rights without all Parties’ consent (including https://escrowprotectbuysell.com/ Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller’s requests to escrowprotectbuysell.com to have Escrowed Funds paid to a third party or entity who is not an Underlying Party are not considered an assignment. Escrow.com may, at its sole discretion, reject Seller’s request to have Escrowed Funds paid to a third party who is not an Underlying Party.
  5. In the standard domain name process, the following steps occur: (1) both Buyer and Seller agree to terms; (2) Buyer deposits funds in escrow; (3) escrowprotectbuysell.com advises Seller of receipt and directs Seller to transfer the domain name to Buyer; and (4) Once the Buyer confirms control of the domain name through the inspection period, the funds are released to the Seller.
  6.

Because there is no content, there is no need for an inspection period.

In the Concierge Process, the following steps occur: (1) both Buyer and Seller agree to terms; (2) Buyer deposits the funds into Escrow; (3) https://escrowprotectbuysell.com/ prompts Seller to transfer the domain name into https://escrowprotectbuysell.com/ designated registrar account; and (4) once the domain name is in escrow, https://escrowprotectbuysell.com/ releases the funds to Seller and transfers the domain name to Buyer.

This includes, but is not limited to, domain registration fees, holding fees, and accrued interest on unpaid amounts. Any remaining funds after these deductions will be paid out in accordance to meet any remaining funds owed under the escrow instructions.
  10. Liability for Domain Expiry: It is the responsibility of the parties to ensure enough time on the domain is in place before the DNH starts. Note that time typically resets on a registrar transfer so this will need to be ensured during the transfer process. escrowprotectbuysell.com shall not be held liable for the expiration of a domain name held in its account if the domain name registration fees have not been paid in advance by the parties.
  11. Notification of Actions: Prior to appointing a broker or initiating the sale of an abandoned domain, https://escrowprotectbuysell.com/ will notify the seller of any actions taken regarding the sale or management of an abandoned domain via the email address on record with https://escrowprotectbuysell.com/.

  12. Domain Registration Fees. Charges incurred for domain name registration are not subject to refunds, either in full or partially, regardless of whether the registration of your domain name is suspended, cancelled, or transferred before the conclusion of the current term of registration.

ADDENDUM 4

OTHER STATE LAWS

  1. This Addendum incorporates by reference as if set forth in full herein the General escrowprotectbuysell.com Terms and Conditions (“Terms”). If there is any conflict of any terms between this Addendum and the Terms, and the Underlying Parties do not all expressly agree otherwise in writing, the Terms control.
  2. This Addendum applies only to Transactions involving the laws of states other than California.
  3. Escrowed Funds for Arizona Buyer and Sellers
  4. Unless all parties to the escrow instruct https://escrowprotectbuysell.com/ otherwise in writing, escrowprotectbuysell.com shall deposit and maintain all monies deposited in escrow to be delivered on the close of escrow or on any other contingency in a bank, savings bank or savings and loans association doing business in the state of Arizona and escrowprotectbuysell.com shall keep the escrow monies separate, distinct and apart from monies belonging to escrowprotectbuysell.com
  5. No later than three business days after receipt of any escrow monies, escrowprotectbuysell.com shall provide to each depositing Buyer or Seller, reasonable notice of the right to earn interest on all deposited monies. The notice shall set forth the following information:
    1. The dollar charge that may be imposed by escrowprotectbuysell.com to set up the interest-bearing account will be a one-time non-refundable fee of $100.00 to be paid by the Underlying Party to whom the interest will be due.
    2. escrowprotectbuysell.com will provide the parties a method to make a good faith estimate of the amount of interest that may be earned during the life of the escrow account, and an example of a typical transaction calculated on a one thousand dollar deposit, using the prevailing savings account interest rate being paid at the time on a regular savings account for a thirty (30) day period. For example, if the average interest rate for a regular savings account at the bank in Phoenix (where Escrow.com maintains its Arizona accounts) is .3%, and a party deposited $1,000.00 into escrow, escrowprotectbuysell.com would provide the party a simple formula to advise the party that in one month the party would earn approximately 25 cents in interest but suffer a loss of $99.75 calculated as follows:

Amount of Escrow Deposit times Prevailing Savings Account Rate = Annual Interest; Annual Interest divided by 365 days = Daily Interest; Daily Interest times anticipated term of Escrow = Interest Earned During Escrow; Interest Earned During Escrow, minus $100.00 Set Up Fee and minus any bank fees or charges = Profit or Loss incurred. The following is an example of the formula:

$1,000.00 x .3% = $3.00; $3.00 ÷ 365 days = .00822 per day; .00822 x 30 days = 24.66 cents Interest Earned per month. $24.66 per month minus the $100.00 Set Up Fee = a loss of $99.75.

  1. The interest-bearing account can be established by escrowprotectbuysell.com providing on the Site notice that the opportunity is available, at the option of the parties for a nominal cost, as well as a link and contact information on the Site for the interested parties to inquire about the prevailing rate on their own for a regular savings account and determine if it would be beneficial. Escrow.com would provide the formula indicated above and caution the parties to ensure the return would exceed the cost before exercising the option.
  2. The accounts shall, at a minimum, be maintained in compliance with the provisions of Arizona Financial Code Section 1737 and all other applicable Arizona statutes and regulations.
