Terms of Service

Version 1.0-draftEffective August 30, 2026

Draft — pending confirmation. This document is an operational draft grounded in how Webba actually works. Company legal details (entity, address, governing law, contact addresses) are placeholders until confirmed, and the wording marked for review below should be reviewed by qualified counsel before launch. Questions: hello@webba.com.

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Webba marketplace and website at webba.com and related services (together, “Webba,” “we,” “us”). Webba is operated by Webba ([TODO: entity type]). By using Webba — including browsing listings, contacting a seller, making or accepting an offer, or starting a purchase — you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use Webba.

1. What Webba is — and is not

Webba is an online marketplace that presents domain names for sale and provides tools to inquire about them, negotiate offers, and begin a purchase. Webba is a venue and a coordinator. Webba is not a domain registrar, is not an escrow provider, does not hold buyer funds, and is not a party to the sale contract between a buyer and a seller except where a listing is offered by Webba itself as the seller.

Where escrow is used for a sale, payment and domain transfer are carried out through an independent third-party escrow provider, Escrow.com, under Escrow.com’s own terms and conditions. Escrow is arranged for a sale rather than applied automatically to every order. See our Transactions, Escrow & Cancellations policy for how a sale actually completes.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use Webba. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and for activity that occurs through your use of the service.

Buyers do not need an account: you interact with a listing using an email address, and access to a conversation or a purchase is granted through a secure link and cookie tied to that email. Operator accounts (used to manage listings) are password-protected; you are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential. Webba does not currently offer public seller registration.

3. Listings, sellers, and authority to sell

Each listing is offered by a “seller” — currently Webba’s operator, and in the future potentially third-party sellers. The seller of a listing, not Webba as a venue, is responsible for:

holding the right and authority to sell and transfer the domain name offered;
the accuracy of the listing’s name, description, and price; and
completing the transfer of the domain to the buyer through the escrow process once a sale is agreed.

Domain names are offered as is. A listing is not advice that a name is suitable for your purpose, available for any particular use, or free of third-party rights. ⚖ Legal review recommended: the allocation of seller vs. platform responsibility, especially where Webba itself is the seller of record.

4. Buyer responsibilities and due diligence

You are responsible for your own evaluation of any domain before you commit to buy it, including whether the name is suitable for your intended use and whether it may conflict with any trademark or other third-party right. Brand concepts, wordmarks, and imagery shown alongside a name are illustrative interpretations of the name only — they are not a recommendation, an assurance of availability for a use, or a grant of any right. You should obtain your own legal advice where appropriate.

5. Offers, Buy Now, and when an agreement is formed

A listing and its displayed price are an invitation to make or consider offers, not a binding offer by the seller. When you submit an offer, accept a counter-offer, or use “Buy Now,” you make a commitment to proceed toward a purchase of that domain at the stated price through the escrow process. A binding sale is formed and becomes final only when the transaction is completed through Escrow.com — that is, when funds are paid into escrow, the domain is transferred, and the escrow provider disburses to the seller. Until then, either party’s ability to withdraw is governed by these Terms and by Escrow.com’s rules. ⚖ Legal review recommended: whether offer acceptance / Buy Now should be a binding contract at acceptance or only at escrow completion — this materially affects both parties.

Starting a purchase records your intent to buy, but it does not by itself take the domain off the market: a listing is held exclusively for you only once payment for it has been secured. Until then the same domain may still be sold to another buyer, and a purchase you have not completed may lapse. A recorded intent to buy is not a completed sale.

6. Payment, escrow, and transfer

Where a sale is taken through escrow, payment and transfer are handled by Escrow.com, not by Webba, and Webba never receives, holds, or disburses the purchase price. You will be subject to Escrow.com’s own terms, verification, and fees when a transaction is set up. The typical flow is: both parties agree; the buyer pays the price into escrow; the seller transfers the domain to the buyer; the buyer has an inspection period; on acceptance, Escrow.com disburses the funds to the seller. Details are in the Transactions policy.

7. Fees and taxes

Webba does not currently charge buyers or sellers a marketplace commission or service fee for using the platform. Escrow.com charges its own escrow fee for handling a transaction; under the current configuration that escrow fee is borne by the seller and is deducted from the amount the seller receives — the price shown to a buyer is the agreed price and nothing more. Each party is responsible for its own taxes arising from a sale. If Webba introduces platform fees in the future, they will be disclosed before they apply. ⚖ Legal review recommended: fee disclosure and tax handling, particularly any future platform fee and cross-border tax obligations.

8. Prohibited conduct

You agree not to use Webba to:

list or attempt to sell a domain you do not have the right or authority to transfer;
post false, misleading, fraudulent, or manipulated listings, offers, or messages, or manipulate pricing or negotiations;
infringe or facilitate infringement of any trademark, copyright, or other third-party right, or impersonate any person or organization;
use a domain or the service for phishing, malware, spam, or any illegal purpose;
circumvent, probe, or disrupt the service, its security, its abuse controls, or the escrow process, or attempt to complete a sale off- platform to evade these Terms.

Our Acceptable Use & Prohibited Listings policy is part of these Terms.

9. Intellectual property and third-party rights

A seller represents that a listed domain, and the seller’s sale of it, do not to the seller’s knowledge infringe any third-party right. Webba does not verify trademark clearance and does not adjudicate ownership or infringement disputes. If you believe a listing infringes your rights, follow our Intellectual Property & Complaints process. The Webba name, site design, and software are owned by Webba and may not be copied without permission.

10. Suspension, removal, and availability

We may suspend or remove a listing, a conversation, or access to the service, and may decline to facilitate a transaction, where we reasonably believe these Terms or the law have been broken, or to protect users or the platform. The service is provided on an “as available” basis; we do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at any particular time, and we may change or discontinue features.

11. No guarantees (disclaimers)

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Webba provides the marketplace “as is” and “as available” and disclaims all warranties, express or implied. In particular, Webba does not guarantee:

that a seller owns, or has authority to transfer, any domain;
that a domain is free of trademark or other third-party rights, or is cleared or suitable for any particular use;
that the service will be uninterrupted or available;
that any transfer of a domain will succeed;
that any payment will be made, received, or disbursed;
the conduct, honesty, or performance of any buyer or seller;
the performance, availability, or acts of any third-party provider, including Escrow.com; or
any investment, resale, or future value of a domain.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Webba will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or lost opportunities, arising from your use of Webba or any transaction. Webba’s total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the amount of platform fees you paid to Webba for the transaction giving rise to the claim in the twelve months before the claim — which, where Webba charges no platform fee, may be zero. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law. ⚖ Legal review recommended: the liability cap and its interaction with jurisdictions (e.g. consumer-protection law) that restrict such limits; this clause in particular should be reviewed by counsel.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Webba harmless from claims, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your listings, your purchases, your content, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right. ⚖ Legal review recommended: scope of indemnity, particularly for consumer buyers.

14. Disputes, governing law, and venue

Disputes about a domain, payment, or transfer are primarily between the buyer and the seller and, where escrow is used, are subject to Escrow.com’s dispute process. These Terms are governed by the laws of [TODO: governing jurisdiction], and you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of [TODO: courts / arbitration venue], except where applicable law gives you a non-waivable right to another forum. ⚖ Legal review recommended: governing law, venue, and whether to include an arbitration and/or class-action-waiver clause — these are jurisdiction-specific and should be set by counsel.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. The current version and its effective date are shown at the top of this page; material changes take effect on the stated effective date. Your continued use of Webba after that date means you accept the updated Terms. Where we have recorded your acceptance of a specific version, a new version may ask you to accept again.
