Terms & Conditions

These terms govern the use of domainempire.com and any domain acquisition handled by DomainEmpire Ltd, the seller of record and part of the Hobby.com E.A.S. network. Listed prices are in USD; other currencies are available on request. No buyer commission is charged.

1. Acquisition models

Direct sale: one-time purchase at the listed price. Accepted payments: cryptocurrency, wire transfer (ACH/SEPA/SWIFT), Wise and PayPal, with the transfer handled through Escrow.com, EscrowDomains.com, Sedo or GoDaddy. All transaction and escrow fees are covered by the seller.

Lease-to-own: interest-free instalment plan from 2 to 60 monthly payments, available exclusively through Escrow.com or EscrowDomains.com. The domain is held in escrow custody until full payment is completed and ownership is definitively transferred.

2. Transaction process

A transaction is binding only once both parties confirm the terms in writing. The escrow transaction is opened, both parties register, the buyer pays, the escrow confirms payment, the seller releases the domain and the authorisation code within 24 hours, the domain is transferred to the buyer's registrar, and funds are released on confirmed receipt.

3. Refund policy

There is no standard refund policy in the domain market — this is an industry-wide norm. In specific cases agreed in writing before the transaction is opened, repurchase may be evaluated at the seller's discretion. It cannot be requested after completion.

4. Seller responsibilities

DomainEmpire Ltd undertakes to release the domain and provide the authorisation code within 24 hours of escrow confirmation and to support the transfer. Liability is limited to the correct execution of the transfer within the agreed timeframe. Once the domain is in the buyer's full ownership, DomainEmpire Ltd accepts no liability for subsequent events.

5. Buyer responsibilities

The buyer is responsible for verifying the domain's suitability, assessing their own legal and tax position, choosing a reliable registrar and completing the transfer promptly once the authorisation code is received.

6. Invoicing and jurisdiction

The escrow beneficiary and seller of record for every transaction is DomainEmpire Ltd, part of the Hobby.com E.A.S. network. These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, with the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
