Other Terms of Use of our Website
Brands.com may, at our discretion, assign, transfer, or subcontract any of our rights or obligations under these Terms to any third party.
Our delay in exercising any right or remedy under these Terms shall never operate as a waiver of that right or remedy and shall not affect our ability to exercise that right or remedy subsequently. We must agree to any waiver in writing.
These Terms supersede any other terms previously published by us and any other representations or statements made by us to you, whether oral, written, or otherwise.
Termination of our Website
We may, in our sole discretion, terminate or suspend operation of our Website or your use of our Website without prior notice to you. We may do so for any reason that we, in our sole discretion, determine to be appropriate.
Brands.com is a domain name marketplace and reseller. The domain names we own and sell are registered in our name, or in the name of our clients with an ICANN-accredited domain name registrar such as godaddy.com.
When you purchase a domain name from Brands.com, we transfer ownership into your name with godaddy.com > via a “push” transfer/account change, or transfer ownership to you/register the domain name with your preferred domain name registrar. We may also electronically deliver a supplementary business and marketing package to you that includes logo files, and in some instances, audio and animation files. You have no obligation to use any of the supplementary materials we provide and we similarly have no obligation to provide them.
Transactions are processed through escrow.com. The process and the protections afforded buyers and sellers of domain names are described in detail here.
Escrow.com’s fees are paid by Brands.com.
When you purchase a domain name from us, you own it permanently and irrevocably as against us because we transfer all rights and obligations of ownership to you. However, to maintain ownership of a domain name, it must be re-registered in your name on a yearly basis with an ICANN-accredited domain name registrar.
Other than once to transfer ownership to you at the time of purchase and sale, Brands.com is not responsible for registering the domain name in your name with a domain name registrar. Thereafter, it is your responsibility to renew your domain name registration and to pay all required fees and, if applicable, taxes. If you neglect or otherwise fail to do so, you will lose ownership of the domain name.
If required by law, sales taxes will be collected in connection with the purchase of our products.
Warranty
We guarantee that we own the domain names that we sell, i.e., that our ownership (title) is unencumbered and that there are no legal, equitable, or other restrictions on our right to sell them. We make no other warranty and extend no guarantee of performance, either expressed or implied, beyond that stated in this section, including no warranties of merchantability or fitness for purpose.
Limited Liability
To the fullest extent that may be disclaimed at law:
(a) Without limiting the generality or applicability of subsection (b), immediately below, we are not liable for failures to perform, or for delays in the performance of, any obligations described in these Terms or elsewhere on our Website that result wholly or in part from any factor(s) beyond our direct and immediate control.
(b) We are not liable for costs or losses of any nature that you incur as a direct or indirect result of delays in the transfer or delivery of our products, whether or not such delays are reasonable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we are not liable for costs or losses of any nature relating to delayed website launches or other openings (e.g., delays to the “grand opening” of a website or retail location) or delayed closing dates (e.g., delays to the processing of a sale of a product or service on your website).
(c) We are not liable to you in relation to the purchase and sale of products, or any delays related thereto whether within or beyond our control, whether for breach of contract, warranty, negligence, strict liability, in tort (including without limitation, negligence), or otherwise for pre-contractual or other representations (other than fraudulent misrepresentations) that result in (1) economic or commercial loss (including without limitation loss of revenue, profits, contracts, business, savings or anticipated savings); (2) any loss of goodwill or reputation; (3) any special, punitive, indirect, consequential, or incidental loss or damages (including without limitation, loss of use, loss of time, or inconvenience); whether such are suffered by you, your agent, or a third party.
(d) In no event will our total liability to you arising out of or in any way related to our sale of a product to you exceed the total cost of the product.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Brands.com, its directors, officers, employees, contractor, subcontractors, Website content contributors, agents, co-branders, suppliers, subsidiaries, parent companies, and affiliates from any and all liabilities, losses, claims (including, but not limited to, claims for injunctive relief), demands, disputes, damages, losses, liens, causes of action, suits, civil, criminal, statutory, or administrative actions or proceedings, fines, taxes, assessments, penalties, judgments, and/or other expenses of any kind, nature, or description whatsoever (including, but not limited to, Brands.com’s legal fees and expenses and costs of investigation) resulting from or in any way connected with (1) your use of the product you purchase from us; (2) content or information you submit or transmit through the Website; (3) privacy, tort or other claims relating to the provision of personal information to Brands.com that is not owned by you (which provision would be a violation of these Terms); and/or (4) your breach of these Terms.
Our additional remedies
In order to avoid irreparable injury to Brands.com, in the event of your breach or threatened breach of these Terms or your failure or threatened failure to complete a purchase, we may seek an injunction and/or other equitable relief restraining such breach or threatened breach in a court of law. Nothing in these Terms shall be construed as prohibiting us from pursuing any other remedies available for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of monetary damages from you.
Other Terms and Conditions of the Purchase and Sale of our Products
Brands.com may, at our discretion, assign, transfer, or subcontract any of our rights or obligations under these Terms to any third party. Any representations, warranties, and indemnification obligations made or undertaken by you will survive cancellation or termination of a transaction or your account or relationship with us.
Our delay in exercising any right or remedy under these Terms will never operate as a waiver of that right or remedy and will not affect our ability to exercise that right or remedy subsequently. We must agree to any waiver in writing.
These Terms supersede any other terms previously published by us and any other representations or statements made by us to you, whether oral, written, or otherwise.
You verify that any contact or other information provided to us in connection with a purchase and sale or possible purchase and sales is true and accurate.
You specifically warrant that the information you provide for us to carry out the transfer of ownership of a domain name to you is complete and accurate, whether the transfer is via a “push” transfer/account change notification or the transfer/registration is completed with another domain name registrar.
You understand and agree that you bear all risks of loss if you provide us with incomplete or inaccurate information with respect to domain name transfers/registrations.
Dispute Resolution
These Terms of Service and any agreement of purchase and sale between you and Brands.com shall be construed and governed by the laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada.
