Terms of Service

Effective: April 6, 2026. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of vadiweb.com and any brokerage, acquisition advisory, negotiation support, or portfolio strategy services provided by Vadiweb (“we,” “us”). By submitting an inquiry, signing a mandate letter, or continuing to use the website after updates are posted, you agree to these Terms.

1. Role of Vadiweb

Vadiweb operates as a private domain brokerage and digital asset advisory firm. We help clients evaluate, negotiate for, and transfer domain names and related digital assets. Unless expressly stated in a written agreement, we are not a registrar, escrow provider, trademark attorney, or tax advisor. Registry policies, ICANN rules, and national laws always apply to transfers and registrations.

2. Mandates and conflicts

Engagements are defined by a mandate letter or master agreement describing target assets, budget ranges, exclusivity, success fees, expense policies, and communication protocols. We maintain confidentiality regarding your interest in specific names. If a conflict of interest emerges between concurrent mandates, we will disclose the issue and propose mitigation steps such as separate teams or withdrawal from one mandate.

3. No guarantee of acquisition

Domain owners may decline to sell, demand prices outside your budget, or be unreachable. Market conditions and trademark disputes can block transfers. We do not guarantee that any particular domain will be acquired, only that we will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with your instructions and applicable law.

4. Fees, retainers, and expenses

Compensation may include retainers, hourly components, and success fees tied to closing. Invoices are due as stated; late payment may pause outreach and negotiation. Pass-through costs (escrow fees, wire charges, third-party appraisals) are your responsibility unless otherwise agreed in writing.

5. Escrow and transfer mechanics

We may recommend licensed escrow providers and standardized transfer procedures. You authorize us to coordinate with registrars, sellers’ representatives, and escrow agents solely to advance the transaction you approved. You remain responsible for providing accurate registrant data and complying with registry transfer locks and verification requirements.

6. Client representations

You represent that funds used are lawful, that you are not subject to sanctions that would block the transaction, and that you will not use acquired domains for illegal or infringing purposes. You will indemnify Vadiweb against claims arising from false representations or unlawful use after transfer.

7. Intellectual property and website content

Marketing materials, valuation frameworks, and narrative copy on vadiweb.com are protected by copyright and other rights. You may not scrape, mirror, or train generalized models on our proprietary reports without permission. Your trademarks remain yours; you grant a limited license to reference them in negotiations you authorize.

8. Confidentiality

We treat non-public deal terms, budgets, and strategic motivations as confidential, subject to standard legal exceptions. You agree not to disclose our internal pricing methodology or seller identities we mark as sensitive without consent.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Vadiweb and its personnel will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, goodwill, or data, arising from website use or brokerage services. Aggregate liability for claims relating to a specific mandate is limited to fees paid to Vadiweb for that mandate during the twelve months preceding the claim, except where liability cannot be limited by law.

10. Indemnity

You will defend and indemnify Vadiweb against third-party claims arising from your post-acquisition use of a domain, instructions that violate law, or allegations that your acquisition attempt infringed third-party rights when acting contrary to our written advice.

11. Termination

Either party may terminate a mandate as specified in the mandate letter. Outstanding fees for work performed and non-refundable third-party costs remain payable.

12. Privacy and cookies

See our privacy documentation linked in the site footer and our Cookie Policy.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, USA, excluding conflict-of-law rules. Exclusive jurisdiction for disputes arising from website use or services not subject to a separate arbitration clause lies in courts located in New York County, New York, subject to non-waivable consumer protections.

14. Changes

We may update website Terms; the effective date will change. Mandates in progress remain governed by the agreement you signed unless otherwise amended.
