3.2 InternetBroker 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 a User to transfer the Domain Name or the ability of a User to consummate a transaction. You acknowledge and agree that InternetBroker has the right to verify any proposed Domain Name for sale by You, including the underlying registration of such Domain Name. Verification may delay the posting of a Domain Name.
3.3 InternetBroker may take any measure that it, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to maintain the integrity and security of its membership, Listings, and transactions. This includes but is not limited to, editing and removing Listings, canceling transactions at any time, and remedying agreement breaches in one transaction with proceeds or assets from another transaction. Furthermore, InternetBroker 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 InternetBroker 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 InternetBroker policies.
3.4 InternetBroker reserves the right to withhold from posting a Domain Name for any reason at any time without notice to You.

3.6 You are free to delete Your Listings from the Site at any time without cost unless Your Listing is subject to active negotiation or pending transfer.
4 Seller's Duties
4.1 You hereby authorize and legally empower InternetBroker to offer each Listing for sale, and upon completion of the sale of a Domain Name ("Sold Domain"), You shall pass good and marketable title to Buyer free and clear of any liens. Each Sold Domain shall be immediately transferable from Your registrar, without restriction, aside from any imposed by ICANN or the registry provider for the Domain Name.
4.2 As a Seller of a Domain Name, You agree to pay any fees charged by InternetBroker in connection with Your sale of a Domain Name. In addition, You are 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 Site.
4.3 If You receive an offer to purchase the rights to a Domain Name at or above Your Instant Price or reserve, as established by You when You list a Domain Name for sale with InternetBroker, then You are obligated to complete the transaction. You may change the Instant Price or reserve amount at any time; provided however, You understand and agree that due to the nature of e-commerce and the Internet, InternetBroker is unable to guarantee that any change to the Instant Price or reserve shall be published on the Site before an offer is received. You are obligated to complete a transaction with a confirmed Buyer for the posted Instant Price even if You tried to increase the Instant Price prior to the time of the purchase.
4.4 Accepting an offer and/or listing a Domain Name with an Instant Price constitutes a legally binding agreement and should be given serious consideration. Once an offer has been accepted, the Buyer has a legal right they can seek to have enforced in a court of law. Sellers who refuse to complete an accepted transaction risk having their InternetBroker accounts cancelled, in addition to other potential liability as permitted by law to both the Buyer and InternetBroker.
4.5 You may not place any bids or offers to purchase on a 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.
4.6 Soliciting Domain Name sales outside of the Site for the purpose of circumventing fees that would otherwise be due to InternetBroker is strictly prohibited. This includes using User contact information obtained from InternetBroker or using any of InternetBroker's services or features to offer to sell any listed Domain Names outside of the Site or sending unsolicited commercial email offers to bidders that have bid on Your Domain Names, or any Listings.
4.7 Should the registration of a Domain Name that is the subject of a purchase and sale transaction be in risk of expiring with its relevant registrar, or if the expiration date lies within the next thirty (30) days from the date when an agreement is made for the purchase and sale of the Domain Name, You as the Seller agree to renew the Domain Name registration and are solely responsible for any costs or fees associated with such renewal.
5 Buyer's Duties
5.1 You agree to pay any fees charged by InternetBroker (and/or InternetBroker's payment processor, e.g. Escrow.com escrow fee) in addition to the purchase price that You have agreed to with a Seller to finalize the purchase of a Domain Name. You agree to pay for any and all purchases and bids made using Your name and credit card through this Site (and/or InternetBroker's payment processor's website). Further, if You refuse or fail to do so, You are fully liable for such amounts and hereby authorize InternetBroker to pursue You for collection of such amount including Your full liability for all costs, interest, and attorney's fees for such collection. In addition, Buyers who refuse to follow through with offers that have been accepted by the Seller are potentially liable to the Seller for breach of the sales contract to which both are parties.
5.2 You warrant that all statements You make and any bids You make or attempt to make, are done in good faith and that You have no knowledge of any information which would affect the validity of the purchase of the Domain Name.
5.3 If the Seller does not state an Instant Price, the Listing serves as an invitation for other Users to submit an offer for the purchase of the Domain Name that is the subject of the Listing. If the Seller states a minimum offer or listing price, the Listing serves as an invitation for other Users to submit an offer in excess of the stated amount for the purchase of the Domain Name that is the subject of the Listing.
5.4 Any bid, offer, counter-offer or acceptance of an Instant Price that You make on a domain name is binding for a period of seven (7) days from the date and time Your bid, offer, counter-offer or Instant Price acceptance is recorded by InternetBroker. Any offer or counter-offer by the Seller is binding for a period of seven (7) days from the date and time such offer or counter-offer is sent to You from InternetBroker. Due to the binding nature of offers or counter-offers to purchase or sell Domain Names, You should review the Listing to avoid a mistake before submitting or accepting a binding offer or counter-offer. Your mistake does not relieve You from Your obligations to purchase or sell a Domain Name once a binding offer or counter-offer has been accepted.
5.5 You must perform, and are responsible for, all research necessary to ensure that You are aware of any factors affecting Your registration and use of the Domain Name, including, but not limited to, the applicable annual registration fees required to maintain Your registration and use of the Domain Name, that Your prospective use of the Domain Name will not infringe the rights of any third parties, and that You have all the information necessary to make an informed purchasing decision. InternetBroker cannot and does not control whether or not third-party Buyer(s) or Seller(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 You. InternetBroker does not confirm that Users who access the Site are who they claim to be. InternetBroker encourages You to exercise reasonable, safe business practices as You would in any other commercial activity.
5.6 Your offer shall lapse if the Seller rejects the offer, accepts another User's offer, submits a counter-offer, or the binding time period is allowed to lapse. A belated acceptance of the offer or a counter-offer shall be considered to be a new offer.
5.7 When a Domain Name is transferred to You, further costs can be incurred, based upon the participating registry and registrar providers. The responsibilities for these payment obligations are defined by the relationship of the User to the provider. This can include, but is not limited to, Domain Name registration renewal and/or registrar transfer fees.
5.8 Drafting of custom Purchase and Sale Agreements or any legal consultations on the part of InternetBroker are not included in the services offered by InternetBroker and must be obtained from Your own legal representative.
5.9 YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT SOME DOMAIN NAMES, LISTINGS, AND BIDS, OFFERS AND COUNTER-OFFERS, OF ALL KINDS, ON THIS SITE ARE OWNED, POSTED AND TRANSFERRED BY OTHER USERS; ARE NOT PROPERTY OF InternetBroker AND InternetBroker DOES NOT MONITOR, REVIEW, ENDORSE, SPONSOR, WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE SUCH LISTINGS IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER FOR GOOD TITLE, TRADEMARK, OR ANY LEGAL VALIDITY OR CAPACITY. DOMAIN NAMES ARE SUBJECT TO TRADEMARK AND OTHER LAWS AND PRIOR TO YOUR PURCHASE OF ANY DOMAIN NAME, YOU SHOULD HIRE AN ATTORNEY TO PROPERLY PERFORM LEGAL DUE DILIGENCE ON THE DOMAIN NAME TO ENSURE YOUR LEGAL USE OF THE DOMAIN NAME. ANY AND ALL USE OF THIS SITE, SALES AND BIDS ON DOMAIN NAMES, ESCROW AND OTHER SERVICES TO USERS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. InternetBroker, ADVERTISERS AND/OR ITS LICENSORS, HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES WITH REGARD TO THIS SITE, THE INFORMATION CONTAINED ON OR RECEIVED THROUGH USE OF THIS SITE, LISTINGS ON THIS SITE, THE BIDS MADE THROUGH THIS SITE, AND ALL SERVICES OR PRODUCTS RECEIVED THROUGH THIS SITE, INCLUDING ALL EXPRESS, STATUTORY, AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

In the event that the parties to the Sales Agreement become involved in a dispute at any time during the transfer and escrow process, InternetBroker may set a reasonable deadline for the parties to reach an agreement.
