Terms of Service

PixelWorks Domains is a multi-seller domain name marketplace that facilitates the listing, inquiry, negotiation, and sale of internet domain names. We act as a platform connecting domain sellers — including PixelWorks Media's own portfolio and approved third-party sellers — with prospective buyers. We do not guarantee the availability of any listed domain, and listings are subject to change or removal at any time without notice.

For transactions completed through the Platform's in-house checkout, PixelWorks Media is the merchant of record. Where a domain links to an external checkout (such as Dan.com or Escrow.com), the third-party service is the counterparty for that transaction.

You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Platform or transact on it. By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract. If you are using the Platform on behalf of a business or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

All domain listings on the Platform are provided for informational purposes. Listing a domain on the Platform does not constitute an offer to sell at any particular price and does not guarantee the domain is available for registration, transfer, or purchase.

• Asking prices: Prices listed on the Platform are the seller's asking prices and may be negotiated. The final sale price is determined by agreement between buyer and seller.
• Listing accuracy: We make reasonable efforts to ensure listing information is accurate, but we do not warrant that descriptions, prices, availability, or other information are error-free. Sellers are responsible for the accuracy of their own listings.
• Availability: Domains may be sold, delisted, or otherwise become unavailable at any time. We are not liable for any loss resulting from a domain becoming unavailable after you have expressed interest.

When you submit an inquiry or offer through the Platform, you are initiating a non-binding expression of interest. Submission of an inquiry or offer does not create a contract for purchase and does not obligate either party to complete a transaction.

• Offer expiration: Offers submitted through the Platform may expire after a period specified at the time of submission. Expired offers are no longer valid and do not obligate the seller.
• Counter-offers: Sellers may respond with a counter-offer at their sole discretion. Counter-offers are likewise non-binding until both parties reach a final written agreement.
• No obligation: We reserve the right, and sellers reserve the right, to reject any inquiry or offer for any reason.
• Accuracy of information: You agree to provide accurate and truthful information when submitting an inquiry or offer. Misrepresentation may result in termination of the transaction and removal from the Platform.

If a domain transaction proceeds to purchase, the following terms apply:

• External checkout: Some domains link to third-party checkout services (such as Dan.com, Afternic, or Escrow.com). Any transaction completed through a third-party service is subject to that service's own terms and conditions. We are not a party to those transactions and are not responsible for disputes arising from them.
• In-house checkout: Where we facilitate checkout directly, all sales are final once payment is confirmed. We will provide confirmation of payment and initiate domain transfer procedures promptly.
• Domain transfer: Domain transfers are subject to registrar policies and may take several business days. We will make reasonable efforts to expedite transfers but cannot guarantee specific timelines.
• Taxes: You are responsible for all applicable taxes, duties, and fees associated with your purchase. We do not collect or remit taxes on behalf of buyers unless required by law.

We may offer installment payment plans ("Lease-to-Own") for certain domains, subject to approval and the specific terms presented at the time of application.

• Down payment: A non-refundable down payment is required to initiate an installment plan. The down payment amount is specified in the plan agreement.
• Monthly payments: Payments are due on the schedule specified in your plan agreement. Missed or late payments may result in plan cancellation, forfeiture of prior payments, and return of the domain to the seller.
• Domain use during plan: Unless otherwise agreed in writing, you may not transfer, sell, or encumber the domain during the installment period. We or the seller may retain possession of the domain until all payments are complete.
• Default: If you default on your installment plan (by missing payments or breaching plan terms), the plan may be cancelled, prior payments may be forfeited as liquidated damages, and the domain will be returned to the seller. We will provide written notice before cancelling a plan.
• Completion: Upon receipt of all installment payments, the domain will be transferred to you in full, free and clear of any claims by us or the seller.

Domain sellers who list on the Platform agree to the following:

• Sellers must have the legal right to sell any domain listed on the Platform and must not list domains that infringe on the trademark, intellectual property, or other rights of any third party.
• Sellers must respond to qualified buyer inquiries in good faith within a reasonable time.
• Sellers may not engage in shill bidding, price manipulation, or other deceptive practices.
• Sellers are responsible for completing domain transfers promptly after receiving full payment.
• Sellers agree to the commission, subscription, or fee structure established in their seller agreement with PixelWorks Media.
• Sellers may operate their own branded shop(s) on the Platform under their own subdomain or apex domain. Each shop is governed by these Terms; sellers may not present terms to buyers that conflict with these Terms without our prior written approval.

You agree not to use the Platform in any way that:

• Violates any applicable federal, state, local, or international law or regulation.
• Infringes on the intellectual property rights of any person or entity.
• Transmits spam, unsolicited communications, or any automated or mass-contact messages.
• Submits false, misleading, or fraudulent inquiries or offers.
• Attempts to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Platform, its servers, or any connected systems.
• Scrapes, crawls, or harvests data from the Platform without our prior written consent.
• Introduces viruses, malware, or other harmful code.
• Interferes with or disrupts the integrity or performance of the Platform.

We reserve the right to terminate your access to the Platform and to pursue legal remedies for any prohibited conduct.

All content on the Platform — including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, the "PixelWorks Domains" wordmark, AI-generated copy and imagery, and platform design — is the property of PixelWorks Media or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works of any Platform content without our express written permission.

Domain names themselves are not owned by PixelWorks Media except where explicitly noted (i.e., PixelWorks Media's own portfolio listings). Domain names listed by third-party sellers remain the property of those sellers until transferred upon a completed sale.

THE PLATFORM AND ALL CONTENT, LISTINGS, AND SERVICES PROVIDED THROUGH IT ARE OFFERED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR TITLE.

We do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any listing or information on the Platform. Domain valuations, if provided, are estimates only and do not constitute a guarantee of market value.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PIXELWORKS MEDIA AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PLATFORM, ANY DOMAIN LISTING, OR ANY TRANSACTION FACILITATED THROUGH THE PLATFORM, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE PLATFORM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless PixelWorks Media and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, and fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Platform; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) any offer, inquiry, or transaction you initiate through the Platform; (d) your violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property rights; or (e) any content or information you submit to the Platform.

The Platform may link to or integrate with third-party services, including but not limited to payment processors (Stripe, PayPal), escrow services (Escrow.com), email delivery (SendGrid), fraud prevention (Google reCAPTCHA), DNS (Cloudflare), and domain registrars. These services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices of any third-party service. Your use of such services is at your own risk.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

Before initiating any legal proceeding, you agree to contact us at info@pixelworksmedia.com and provide a written description of the dispute. We will make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute informally within 30 days.

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time at our sole discretion. When we do, we will post the revised Terms on this page with an updated effective date. Material changes will be highlighted or communicated via a notice on the Platform. Your continued use of the Platform after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Platform at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Upon termination, your right to use the Platform will immediately cease. All provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including ownership, warranty disclaimers, indemnification, and limitations of liability.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and PixelWorks Media with respect to the Platform and supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision.
