- 6.2
Our website functions as an online platform dedicated to facilitating the sale, purchase, and Lease To Own Arrangements of UK website domain names. Users, who own domains, have the ability to list their domains on our Website, specifying details like the domain name and asking price, and indicating whether they want to sell, lease, or both. Users can search for domain names using keywords, with the search functionality matching "co.uk" and ".uk" domain pairs available for sale or lease to own.
- 6.3
Sellers can list their domain names without a fixed price, with a fixed price or consider Lease To Own Arrangements, and Buyers can initiate negotiations by submitting Offers. Upon mutual agreement between the parties, and following the relevant payment processing, Brandable facilitates the domain transfer or lease to own. Upon mutual agreement between the parties, the Buyer pays Brandable the agreed payment amount through Stripe or direct bank transfer, and the Seller promptly transfers the domain to Brandable. Brandable either transfers the domain to the buyer or holds it for the lease to own duration, releasing the payment amount to the Seller upon successful transfer of the domain.
- 6.4
To initiate actions such as domain searches, making Offers or Counteroffers, purchasing domains, or entering Lease To Own Arrangements, Users may be required to set up a Brandable Account.

Brandable may provide a form that allows Users to chat via our Website. If you use this chat option please be advised that we may monitor communications between Users for security and compliance purposes subject to confidentiality restrictions.
- 6.5
Brandable's role is to facilitate communication between Buyers and Sellers and oversee the handling and execution of the domain transfers and Lease To Own Arrangements. Brandable has no influence on the actual state of the domain name offered by the Seller. In the case of disputes, the parties independently resolve the matter, with Brandable offering mutually agreeable solutions at its discretion.

In a Lease To Own Arrangement, Brandable holds the domain throughout the lease term, managing it without assuming liability. Brandable reserves the right to cancel or terminate any Lease To Own Arrangement or sale process before payment is made, with no right to restitution or compensation.

Upon receiving payment, Brandable finalises the domain transfer or Lease To Own Arrangement following established procedures. Brandable utilises Stripe as a third- party service provider for payment transfers, and users are bound by Stripe's terms and conditions.

Sellers appoint Brandable as their agent for receiving payments, with Brandable assuming sole liability if it fails to remit payments.

Within thirty (30) calendar days after the payment of the Domain Name Price to Brandable, the Buyer is required to undertake all necessary actions, following Brandable's instructions, to complete the takeover of the domain name. The parties may mutually agree in writing to extend the transfer period. Failure by the Buyer to fulfil the necessary processes for domain name takeover within the stipulated thirty (30) days, in the absence of an explicitly agreed-upon extension, shall be construed as a waiver of the Buyer's rights to the domain name. If the transfer is not completed within the specified time frame, Brandable will assume ownership of the domain name. Both parties acknowledge and agree that the Domain Name Price is nonrefundable once the payment amount is transferred to the Seller.
- 7.10
