Terms of Service
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 Eric Freedman (an individual trading as Webba). 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.
Payment and domain transfer for a sale are carried out by an independent third party, never by Webba: either the escrow provider Escrow.com, or GoDaddy when Webba sends you a GoDaddy checkout link for the domain. Each works under its 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.
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.
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.
Webba may instead send you a GoDaddy checkout link for the domain. In that case you buy the domain on GoDaddy at the agreed price, GoDaddy takes the payment and moves the domain to your GoDaddy account, and GoDaddy’s own terms, verification, refund rules, and timing apply. Webba still never receives, holds, or disburses the purchase price. Either route may be offered for a sale; the one used is the one Webba sends you for that sale.
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. When a sale goes through a GoDaddy checkout link, GoDaddy’s commission is borne by the seller, and the buyer pays the price shown on GoDaddy’s checkout, which may include taxes or charges GoDaddy itself adds. 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.
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, or that a logo design 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; or
- the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of any score, reading, or suggestion from a free tool Webba provides, such as the name checker.
Free tools. Webba’s free tools, including the name checker, give general information only. Their results are produced automatically from the letters of a name and are a guide, not advice: they are not legal, trademark, linguistic, or business advice, they do not check whether a name or domain is registered, available, or protected by anyone’s rights, and they should not be relied on as the basis for any decision. You use them at your own risk, and the limitation of liability below applies to them in full.
Logo lab and brand kit. Webba’s logo tools, including the logo lab, the ready-made designs, Build your own, the brand kit, and Webba Logo Lab in ChatGPT and Claude (together, the “logo tools”), are design tools. Some downloads are free, and others are paid where the site shows a price. When you use them:
- In ChatGPT and Claude. These Terms apply when you use the logo tools through ChatGPT or Claude, where downloads are free within the limits stated. ChatGPT is operated by OpenAI and Claude by Anthropic, each under its own terms. Webba does not control them and is responsible only for its own logo tools.
- Designs are templates, not exclusive. The ready-made designs, marks, parts, lettering, layouts, and colourways are shared templates offered to everyone. Other people can and will make logos that are the same as or similar to yours, and Webba may show, offer, or use the same designs for anyone, including other businesses in your trade. You get no exclusive right to any design.
- No trademark clearance. Webba does not search, check, or clear any logo, name, tagline, or other text against trademarks, registered designs, copyrights, or any other rights, and makes no promise that a logo can be registered as a trademark or used without objection. Before you use a logo commercially, register it, or rely on it, you are solely responsible for carrying out your own trademark searches in every country and class where you will use it, and for taking your own legal advice.
- Your words are your responsibility. You choose the business name, tagline, launch line, and any other text you enter. You confirm that you have every right needed to use them, and that they do not infringe anyone’s rights or break any law. Webba does not review what you enter.
- Your licence to use what you make. Webba grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use the logo and kit files you create with the logo tools to identify and promote your own business. Webba and its licensors keep all rights in the logo tools themselves and in the designs, marks, parts, illustrations, mockup photographs, and code they are made from. You may not sell, license, or distribute the designs or parts as templates, as a logo collection, or as part of another design tool or service, or claim that Webba made a logo for you exclusively.
- Third-party elements. Some designs use typefaces and shapes made available by third parties under open licences that allow commercial use (for example the SIL Open Font License and the MIT licence). Those licences apply to those elements, and you are responsible for complying with them if you extract or reuse those elements outside your logo.
- Mockups are illustrations. The photographs and scenes in the brand kit only illustrate how a logo might look. They are not products, offers, or endorsements, and show no real business, and you may use them only to present your own logo.
- As is, at your own risk. The logo tools and everything they produce are provided “as is” and “as available”, without any warranty that a logo is original, distinctive, free of third-party rights, registrable, fit for any purpose, or that the files will work in every program or print process. You use them entirely at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Webba has no liability to you or anyone else for any claim, loss, or cost arising from a logo or file made with the logo tools, including any claim that it infringes someone else’s rights, the cost of rebranding, reprinting, or replacing materials, or any loss of business, and section 12 applies to the logo tools in full.
- Claims about your logo. If anyone makes a claim against Webba arising from a logo you made or used, or from text you entered into the logo tools, you will defend Webba and cover all of Webba’s losses, costs, and reasonable legal fees under section 13. Webba may stop offering any design or part, or withdraw any file, at any time, without notice or liability.
None of this limits Webba’s Money Back Guarantee: if you pay for a domain sold on Webba and do not receive it, you get your money back, as set out in the Transaction Policy.
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.
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, any logo or file you make or use with Webba’s logo tools and any text you enter into them, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
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 the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, United States, and you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, except where applicable law gives you a non-waivable right to another forum.
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.
