NAMEDRIVE DOMAIN PUBLISHING PROGRAM TERMS

NameDrive's Domain Publishing Program (“DPP”) allows you to park your domains. For a domain to be listed with the DPP, the domain must be entered in your account and directed to the DPP. If you wish the advertising to be that from Google then you must use our Nameserver. The Nameservers for DNS are: ns1.fastpark.net ns2.fastpark.net. If you wish the advertising, if any, to be other than Google then you may use URL forwarding. The forwarding URL address is http://www.ndparking.com/domainname.com where [domainname.com] is replaced by the userŐs domain. By forwarding your domains to the DPP, you understand that NameDrive (“ND”) or any of its partners will put advertisements on them and you are liable for any and all consequences that has.

1) TRAFFIC: Traffic on domains in the DPP can originate from two sources only: Type in (direct navigation) traffic and existing search engine results / expired traffic. ND reserves the right to exclude domains with non-converting traffic from the system at any time.

2) TRAFFIC SOURCES: Traffic promotional methods not allowed include, but are not limited to: Blog sites / forums, TGP Galleries, bought traffic (PTR/PTC), Arbitrage traffic driven by PPC campaigns (Adwords etc.), traffic directed from hyperlinks etc. are not permitted. If your traffic originates from any sources other than type-in and search engine traffic, it must first be approved by ND. Regular checks are carried out and ND reserves the right to suspend any domain from its DPP if the traffic on that domain is believed to be bought, generated or redirected in any way that contravenes these terms and conditions. Users may periodically view their parked pages to ensure they are correctly set up but are not permitted to click any of the advertising links. Traffic may not be redirected from another domain to a domain parked on the DPP. All traffic to a domain must either be type in traffic or link traffic for that specific domain, not redirected from another domain, either on the DPP or another domain outside the DPP. Clicks made on parked pages can ONLY originate from real, unique visitors clicking on the advertising. Clicks can in no way be incentivized Clicks may not be generated by asking friends, family, members of the public or anyone else to click on the advertising links on your parked page. You may not use robots, software systems, arbitrage or any other method to artificially modify the number of views, clicks, CTR, PPC, RPM or revenue away from that driven by regular Internet users (not including, but not limited to, yourselves, employees, associates, partners, etc.). Evidence of this will result in the domain immediately being blocked and the earnings withheld. Neither traffic nor clicks may be generated by any non-human source – e.g. bots. ND wishes to maintain a fair, transparent platform. However click fraud and parking fraud are not tolerated. Any major breach of these terms will result in an account being suspended and the earnings being withheld in persistent cases. If ND believes that there might be fraud then ND reserves the right to withhold any funds which might result from the fraud for a period of no less then six months in order to ascertain if there really has been such fraud and permanently if such fraud is ascertained. ND is partners with a third party from whom it obtains its advertising feed. This third party has reserved the right to claim that traffic is fake or fraudulent and to retain earnings, whether already paid to a customer or pending payment, in its sole discretion. You agree that the decision as to whether there is or is not fraud shall be decided by ND and/or its advertising partners’ sole discretion.

3) DISPLAY METHODS: Domains in the DPP must be displayed as delivered by ND and advertising partners. Pages may occasionally be displayed in I-frames or with other embellishments. However, all alterations to a parked page must be approved BEFOREHAND by ND.

4) DOMAINS: Domains listed in a user's NameDrive account must be the property of that user or their direct partner. Users found to be listing other persons' domains may have their accounts suspended and earnings withheld.

5) PAYMENTS: Payments to you are based on the data we receive from our advertising partners. Our advertising partners have the right to claw back payments based on their analysis of the data even months after it is paid to you. These claw backs are at their sole discretion and if they claw back money from us based on the data associated with your domain names than we will accordingly charge you for those claw backs out of future payments that would be owed to you. You have no right to object to these claw backs under any circumstances. When we do pay you, we pay by PayPal (our preferred method), WebMoney and bank wire. If you choose PayPal, you will be paid once you earn more than $20 (“payout level”). We pay using Mass Pay (yes, we pay the fee for the use of Mass pay, meaning you receive exactly the amount displayed in your NameDrive account). If you choose WebMoney the minimum payout level is $50. Other payout methods may or may not be added. If we add additional payout levels and list out the minimum payout somewhere else on our website and not in these terms and conditions then those minimums shall apply and are made a part of these terms and conditions.

NDX MARKET PLATFORM TERMS

Welcome to the NameDrive IP SARL (“ND”) NDX Market Services.  This document sets forth the terms generally applicable to your use of the NDX Market Platform (“Platform”) and any NDX Market Services including those available at namedrive.com (the “Site”).  These Terms incorporate by reference the [ND General Terms], [Sellers’ Listing Policies], [Buyer Policies], and [Offensive Domain Policy] as if each were stated in full herein and by using any of the NDX Market Services you agree to be bound thereby.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION.  The NDX Market Platform is a neutral marketplace location where NDX Market Users may use various formats to buy or sell domain names subject to compliance with applicable rules found herein and in any incorporated agreements, terms or conditions.  Although we may use terms such as “auction” and we may assist in the smooth transfer of domain names and funds, we are not an auctioneer or escrow provider.  Rather we provide a neutral platform and transaction management in connection with transfer of funds and domain names. 

As a neutral provider ND is not a party to any relationship as between any Buyer or Seller.  Notwithstanding that we may at any point exercise control over a domain name or funds during the transaction, we are not the Buyer, Seller, lessee, or lessor.  As such ND will have no liability to you or any third party as to the registration or use of any domain names while they are listed, sold or being processed for transfer.

Use of the Site (but not all Services) is generally free of charge.  However, to access actual Services you must be an “NDX Market User” and have a user name and password.  You must be a Certified Trader to make bids or offers over limits established by ND, participate in auctions or use the “Fixed” or “Buy-Now” pricing functions.  Certified Trader status requires you to submit an NDX Market Certified Trader application to be approved or rejected in our discretion.

Using the Platform you may buy or sell a domain name using our NDX Market Direct Sales or NDX Market “Auction” Services.  Each Service has specific rules that may apply.  ND may post other or different rules regarding particular Auctions and you must agree to such specific rules as a condition to participation.

Those listing domain names for sale on the Platform are “Sellers” and those making offers to purchase domain names listed by Sellers are “Buyers” or “Bidders”.

Communications regarding domain names and transactions are generally by email using information provided by the NDX Market User.  Buyers and Sellers may only communicate with each other using the Platform notification system.  Buyer and Seller may not communicate outside of the Platform regarding any Listed Domain or any offers or pending transaction.  In using the Platform notification system, users may communicate publicly (seen by all Users viewing the listing) or privately (directed only to a specific user regarding the Listed Domain).  We do not guarantee that any particular bid or response will be transmitted to the intended recipient.

ND will not be liable or otherwise responsible for any information provided, or any communications as between Buyer and Seller.  Buyer and Seller are responsible for having conducting all research necessary to satisfy themselves regarding any Listed Domain, including without limitation, any revenue, traffic statistics and ownership, and any applicable agreements, rules, regulations and fees applicable to the acquisition and transfer of any domain name.  Information regarding a Listed Domain is provided by the listing User and ND has neither verified nor will be liable for any inaccuracy.

These terms and linked documents may be provided in various languages but the English language versions shall control in the event of any conflict.

LISTING DOMAINS.         Subject to these Terms, any user may list Domain names for sale using Direct Sales Services or Auction Services.  Upon acceptance into the Platform, the domain name becomes a “Listed Domain”.  ND reserves the right, but not the obligation, to refuse or reject any domain name for listing or to remove any previously Listed Domain.  Listing domain names is also subject our [Sellers’ Listing Policies], [Buyer Policies], and [Offensive Domain Policy].

Sellers may remove a Listed Domain they have listed in the Platform at any time by deleting the domain name from their account.  A Listed Domain may not, however, be removed if it is a “Restricted Domain”.  A Restricted Domain is one that is subject to an outstanding Offer or Counter-Offer (see below) or as to which there is a commitment to buy/sell, or a pending  auction or transfer.  See below regarding Fees and exclusivity.

Sellers shall at their own cost renew and maintain registrations for all Listed Domains while they are Restricted and shall remove from their account all Listed Domains they no longer own.  ND may, without obligation, pay registration fees as to any Restricted Domain name and if paid may recover same from (in ND’s sole discretion) either Seller or Buyer. 

You may use Direct Sales Services to sell domain names at a “Fixed”, “Buy Now” or “Minimum” price for any Listed Domain.  However, any such listing is a binding Offer by you to sell the Domain at the stated price and such Offer will be irrevocable until modified and such modification is reflected in the Platform (regardless of when modified by you).  Fixed, Buy-Now, or Minimum prices may not be modified if such has been accepted by another NDX Market User prior to the modification being reflected on the Platform.

In using Auction Services to sell domain names, you may specify a “Reserve” bid but if you do so, such is a binding Offer by you to sell the Domain at the stated price.  Any such Offer is irrevocable during the pendency of any Auction.  Consider your actions carefully as you will be obligated to sell the Listed Domain to the User having placed the highest bid as of the end of the auction; provided in any case, however, that a Seller is under no obligation to sell the domain name to any User whose bid did not exceed the Reserve or Minimum price..

All Offers, Counter-offers and all Fixed, Buy-Now and Reserve pricing is not inclusive of all sales, use, value-added or other taxes that may be due, save only those taxes assessed on income retained by ND.

The absence of a Fixed, Buy Now or Reserve price indicates only that the Domain listing is an invitation for other NDX Market Users to submit offers.

As a Seller you are solely responsible for any information provided as to any Listed Domain, including, without limitation, any revenue or traffic statistics, even if the Listed Domain is being monetized through an NDX Market Service or such information was obtained as a result of any ND Service.  By entering any Listed Domain, you are making the representations and warranties regarding the Domain found in these terms, including those set forth in the [ND General Terms] and the [ND Domain Transfer Agreement].

MAKING OFFERS/COUNTER-OFFERS.        Subject to these Terms, any NDX Market User may search the database and make offers to purchase any Listed Domain (“Offer”).  Offers are made by following the relevant instructions presented and specific auction rules may apply.  All Offers and Counter-Offers shall be stated in whole numbers only.  You must review your offers carefully. Offers are made upon entry and remain binding and irrevocable for the relevant “Offer Period” (defined below).   Except as noted in Listing Domains, above, any NDX Market User may respond to an Offer with a rejection or Counter-Offer.  A Counter-Offer constitutes a rejection of any prior Offer and the presentment of a new Offer for the purposes of this Section. 

Offers are not inclusive of all sales, use, value-added or other taxes that may be due, save only those taxes assessed on income retained by ND.

By submitting any Offer, the party making the Offer is agreeing to purchase the Listed Domain at the price and Currency stated in the Offer, and pursuant to the ND Domain Transfer Agreement.  Once made, an Offer may be accepted by the Seller at any time during the Offer Period.

The Offer Period shall continue and remain binding and irrevocable until the earlier of: (i) 168 hours after being posted on the Platform; (ii) rejection by the Seller; or (iii) Seller’s providing a counter-offer.  Offers made during Auctions shall remain binding through the ending of the auction; at the close of the auction, the highest Offer shall be deemed accepted by the Seller.  Upon expiration of the Offer Period, the Offer shall automatically expire and become void and without effect - thus no longer binding upon the party having submitted it.

For avoidance of doubt, a Fixed, Buy-Now or Reserve price is a binding Offer by the Seller and any response of a Buyer agreeing to the stated price and currency constitutes a binding acceptance.

A belated attempt to accept an Offer or a Counter-Offer shall be considered to be a new Offer.

Mistake does not relieve an NDX Market User from their obligations to purchase or sell a Domain once a binding offer has been made and/or accepted.

CURRENCY.  Currency is selected by the Seller during the listing process and may not be changed by Buyer or Seller during the course of negotiations. Seller may change the Currency as to any Listed Domain if there are no then pending Offers or the Listed Domain is not subject to a Pending Auction.  ND may provide a currency conversion tool for your use.  However, results from such tool are not official and ND shall not be responsible for any currency loss or conversion.

A WORD ABOUT TIMING.  Offers, Counter-Offers and communications of acceptance can be made by any NDX Market User and ND does not guaranty acceptance or success as to any Offer/Counter-Offer.  NDX Market makes reasonable efforts to process information received by NDX Market in a timely manner and on a first-come-first-served basis.  Thus, for example, while you may undertake to submit information such as an Offer, Counter-Offer or acceptance to a Fixed or Buy-Now price, your response may not be the first made and although binding upon you, it may not be binding upon the Seller (who may have accepted or become bound by another offer/counter-offer bearing an earlier time-stamp). 

Submittals of information to the Platform or to any user account, including, without limitation, domain name listings. Pricing, auction bids, Offers, Counter-Offers, and acceptances, as well as any deadlines or beginning and ending dates and times for auctions, are all effective upon the date and time applied by ND in its operation of the Platform regardless of the date or time in your specific location.  Dates and times are generally the date and time of posting as recognized by ND in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (or such other location as ND may locate its relevant servers).  Any date or time indications, including, without limitation time-remaining information as to auctions is provided without warranty of any nature.  ND assumes no responsibility for failure to accurately or otherwise time-stamp any information submitted, including, without information, any auction bids, Offer, Counter-Offer or acceptance or to timely or otherwise publish or communicate any Offer, Counter-Offer or acceptance.

ACCEPTANCE AND AGREEMENT.  Acceptance occurs the moment that a Buyer and Seller reach agreement as to the Price and Currency for any Listed Domain.  In a Direct Sales context, this occurs upon acceptance of an outstanding Offer during the Offer Period.  In the Auction context, acceptance occurs upon the end of the Auction whereupon the highest bid exceeding any stated Reserve is deemed accepted.  As noted above, you will become bound to purchase a Listed Domain name at Auction if a Bidder having submitted a higher Bid does not timely complete the transaction and your Bid exceeds the stated Reserve.

All acceptance and all sales are concluded using the [ND Domain Transfer Agreement] (“DTA”) which you should read carefully.  You will be required to agree to the terms of the DTA before submitting or accepting any offer.  ND reserves the right to require that you sign a printed version of the DTA in addition to any click-through version.  Notwithstanding a request for physical signatures, by submitting a Fixed or Buy-Now price, by indicating acceptance of an offer, or otherwise clicking an “I Agree” or “Confirmation” button on the Platform, such party has become legally bound by the ND Domain Transfer Agreement in all respects as if and to the same extent as if such party had signed the ND Domain Transfer Agreement in writing. The DTA is subject to change and the published version existing as of the formation of any agreement will be controlling.

Buyer and Seller agree to cooperate fully and timely with each other and with ND, to respond to ND requests and to fully perform their respective obligations under the ND Domain Transfer Agreement.

EXCLUSIVITY AND NON-CIRCUMVENTION.   Subject to certain conditions, our Services are not exclusive and you may list your domain names for sale with other services.

Whenever a domain name becomes a Restricted Domain, you are agreeing that for 60 days thereafter, you will exclusively use our NDX Market Services in connection with the purchase or sale thereof.  Once a domain name has become a Listed Domain as to any Auction conducted through the NDX Market Platform, you may not remove the listing (unless requested by ND) and are granting ND an exclusive right and authority to sell the Listed Domain through the Auction process.

You may not attempt to directly or indirectly circumvent our Services, including, by undertaking to: contact or solicit, negotiate or enter into any agreement regarding any Restricted Domain outside of the NDX Market Platform with any actual or potential buyer who became known to you in connection with any announced or pending Auction or negotiations using Direct Sales Services.

FEES.   Fees are generally paid by Sellers although in certain cases we may collect fees from either party.  ND’s fees are published elsewhere on the Site and are subject to change at any time.  ND fees are those published on the Site or Platform as of the moment of acceptance when the agreement is formed between Buyer and Seller and shall be applied to the agreed-upon price and Currency. 

Fees become due upon the moment of acceptance and unless otherwise agreed in writing and consented to by ND, are due and payable by Seller and may be deducted from any amount otherwise due to Seller.   If Seller violates these Terms or if Seller or Buyer fail to complete any sale, ND shall be entitled to all applicable fees that would have been due in absence of such conduct and reserves the right to assess and collect any such amounts from Seller or Buyer.

Sales, use or value-added taxes (“VAT”) may apply to ND Fees depending upon your location. 

Seller and Buyer each authorize ND to withhold its fees from any amounts otherwise due Seller or Buyer in connection with any Service provided by ND.  All payments charged and collected by ND are non-refundable.

LIMITED ON USE; TERMINATION OF AUCTIONS; NUMBER OF OPEN OFFERS.  ND reserves the right to suspend operation of the Platform and terminate any pending negotiations or auction (or any part thereof) at any time and for any reason, all without obligation or liability of any nature to any NDX Market User or third party.  If any auction or negotiation is terminated, ND may re-start a new auction or negotiation process at any time and shall in no event be responsible for any pricing differential or claims by participants in any prior terminated Auction or negotiation that their Bid/Offer was higher than any subsequently obtained.  ND reserves the right to limit access, including the number of Listed Domains as to which you may have simultaneous open offers.

LEGAL RELATIONSHIP.  NameDrive is a neutral platform and neither owns the Domains listed on the Platform, nor has any influence or control on the business conducted among NDX Market Users. The responsibility for the content of Domain listings, including the accuracy of any statistics, whether measured and displayed by ND or otherwise, lies exclusively with the respective Sellers, Buyers, and Users.  This agreement is solely between ND (and its affiliates) and you and our respective successors and permitted assigns, and no other person or entity shall have or acquire any right or benefit by virtue of this agreement.

LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY. ND’s liability to any NDX Market User, including a Buyer or Seller in connection with any Listed Domain or the purchase/sale/lease thereof, is further set forth in the [ND General Terms] and [ND Domain Transfer Agreement], which is incorporated herein.  In addition to the limitations stated therein, ND makes no representations or warranties regarding the features of Listed Domains or the successful operation of the Platform or the ability of any NDX Market User to actually complete the sale, purchase or lease of any Listed Domain.  For avoidance of doubt, ND shall in no event be responsible for any information related to any Listed Domain, even if supplied through use of ND Services or the Site, including, without limitation, revenues, visitor statistics, traffic statistics, and the precise alpha-numerical composition of a Domain. 

ND shall not be liable for legal transactions or other acts of NDX Market Users (or any visitor to the Site). This also applies to any violations of rights of a third party through the listing of a Domain on the Platform, in particular his/her/its intellectual property rights, rights of the use of a name, and trademark rights. Buyer and Seller agree that ND shall not be held responsible for the failure of either party to a purchase and sale agreement to follow through with their obligations under such an agreement, and that ND, as the neutral facilitator of the Platform and associated Services shall not be subject to any claims arising from the attempted purchase and sale of Domains.

ND will always try to complete the purchase and sale of a Domain. If an agreement has been made over the Platform, between a Buyer and a Seller, absent an applicable court order, ND will strive to make every commercially reasonable effort move forward with a domain transaction.  For example, if we hold both the full payment and Domain in our control, the Domain will be forwarded to the Buyer and the payment to the Seller consistent with the ND Domain Transfer Agreement. If any NDX Market User asserts breach or failure to perform, it is that person’s obligation to seek legal redress separately as against the other (but not as against ND).  In the event of any dispute, each NDX Market User agrees to honor the limitations of liability stated or incorporated elsewhere in these terms.

ND may delay, extend or terminate and/or restart any auction if in its sole judgment such action is warranted and ND shall not be liable to any user for such action, even if mistaken, including any claim that any bid in any effected auction was the highest as of the point of delay, extension or termination, or was higher than the ultimate bid achieved.  ND shall be deemed in default hereunder, nor shall be held responsible for, any cessation, interruption or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder due to causes beyond its reasonable control including, but not limited to: server failure, internet disruption, communications errors, earthquake; flood; fire; storm; natural disaster; act of God; war; terrorism; armed conflict; labor strike; lockout; boycott; supplier failures, shortages, breaches, or delays; or any law, order regulation, direction, action or request of the government, including any federal, state and local governments having or claiming jurisdiction over ND, or any of its affiliates or those providing services in connection with any party of the NDX Market Platform, or of any department, agency, commission, bureau, corporation or other instrumentality of any federal, state, or local government, or of any civil or military authority; or any other cause or circumstance, whether of a similar or dissimilar nature to the foregoing, beyond our reasonable control.

The foregoing shall apply even if ND has been made aware of the presence or inaccuracy of any information contained in the Platform or Site, or the acts or omissions of any NDX Market User.

REJECTED AND/OR BLOCKED LISTINGS.             We reserve the right, at any time, and without reason or prior notice, to reject (or refuse to reject) the listing of any Domains on the Platform or to remove and blacklist (or refuse to remove or blacklist) any previously Listed Domains and/or any NDX Market Users. Although we will make reasonable efforts to advise users as to reasons for our actions (or inactions), we are not required to do so.  Typical reasons for rejection, removal or blacklisting include (without limitation) violation of these terms or any other terms linked herein or published on the Site.  If you think that any Listed Domain violates your intellectual property or other rights, please review and follow the instructions in our [Infringement Notification Policy].

This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and subject to the terms of the [NameDrive General Terms of Service].  If you do not agree to all of our terms and conditions you may not use or access our site.

1. Information We Collect

ND only collects personal information about users that we consider necessary for providing our Services in an efficient, customized, and user-friendly manner, including your name, address, phone number and email address.  We collect payment information (such as credit cards) for similar purposes including considering NDX Market Certified Trader applications.

For some of our Services, we may require you to provide contact and identity information, billing information, and other personal information. Under some circumstances, we may also require additional financial information, including, without limitation, your billing address, bank account information, a credit card number and expiration date, and tracking information from funds transfers.

When you access a ND website, we may automatically collect certain information based upon your behavior on the site. We use this information to do internal research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior to serve our users better. This information may include the URL that you come from or go to (whether this URL is on the site or not), your computer browser information, and your IP address.

If you list or make an offer to buy or sell a Domain Name via a ND site, we may collect information about your buying or selling behavior and transactions.

If you send us personal correspondence, such as emails or letters, or if other users or third parties send us correspondence about your activities on the site, we may collect such information into a file specific to you or the subject of your correspondence.

We use your information and other information we obtain from your current and past activities on the site to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, collect fees owed, pay amounts due you, verify your account data, measure user interest in ND’s products and services, inform you about online and offline offers, products, services, and updates, customize your experience, detect and protect us against error, fraud and other criminal activity, and enforce our General Terms of Use. At times, we may look across multiple users to identify problems or resolve disputes, and we may examine your information to identify users using multiple login names. We may compare and review your information for resolving or investigating mistakes, conflicts, and accuracy.

We provide you the opportunity to opt-out of having your personally identifiable information used for certain purposes when we ask for this information.  By way of example only (and not limitation), if you register for a user account but do not wish to receive any additional marketing material from us, you can generally indicate your preference on the registration form.

We will let you know if and when your personal information is collected by any third party that is not our agent/service provider so that you can make a considered decision as to whether or not to share your information with that party.

“Cookies”

We use data collection devices such as "cookies" on certain pages of the site to help us in our analytics, effectiveness, and promote trust and safety. "Cookies" are small files placed on your hard drive that assist us in providing our services. We may offer certain promotions or other benefits that are only available if you have an active “cookie” provided through our Site.  Cookies may also allow you to enter your password less frequently during a session.  Cookies also assist us in presenting you with information we believe is well targeted to your interests.  Information we gather from use of cookies may also be linked with personal information we have about you.  Some cookies last only for your current visit to our Site and are automatically deleted by your computer when your visit comes to an end.  Depending upon the browser you use, you may be able to decline or delete cookies.  Doing so, however, may limit your use and enjoyment of our Site and Services.

Some of our business partners (e.g., advertisers) may use "cookies" on our site. We have no access to or control over these "cookies." This privacy statement covers the use of "cookies" by ND only and does not cover the use of "cookies" by any advertisers.

You agree that we may use your information to contact you and deliver information to you that we believe is well suited or otherwise targeted to your perceived interests, including advertisements, notices, product offerings, and communications relevant to your use of the site. By accepting this Agreement, you expressly agree to receive this information.

4. Our Disclosure of Your Information

We do not (and will not) sell or rent any of your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent. However, the following describes some of the ways that your personal information may be disclosed in the normal course of business as part of Services provided through our Site.

Advertisers. We gather up data across numerous registered user accounts and disclose such information in a non-personally identifiable manner to advertisers and other third parties for their marketing and promotional purposes. For such purposes, we do not disclose any information that we believe could be used to identify ND users personally.  ND may receive a fee or other benefits for providing such information.

Our Site.  Although we undertake reasonable efforts to prevent it, others may illegally attempt to automatically collect your email address from the site. If you are involved in a transaction, we have features that may allow other users to view your email address and obtain your contact and other information to help complete the transaction. Further, we may send out notices to you or other users regarding suspicious activity or policy violations on the site.

Affiliates for Our Operations. We may use third parties ("affiliates") to facilitate or outsource one or more aspects of the Services that we provide to you (e.g., Transfer services related to payments and domain name transfers, domain name search technology, advertising provisions, and other services) and therefore we may provide some of your information directly to these affiliates.  We may or may not hold an ownership interest in these affiliates.  Affiliates are subject to confidentiality agreements with us and other legal restrictions that restrict or prohibit their use of the information we provide them for any other purpose except to facilitate the specific outsourced service, unless you have explicitly agreed or given your prior permission to them for additional uses. In some instances, the affiliate may collect information directly from you. In these cases, we will strive to tell you of the involvement of the affiliate, but what information you provide them will be up to you.

Agents and Business Entities. We share some of our data, including personal information about you, with our affiliates, subsidiaries, and joint venturers that are committed to serving your online needs and providing related services throughout the world.  For example, we use a third party company (NDX Market SA) and banking institutions to process all funds transfers related to the purchase and sale of domain names and we use third party registrars for the transfer of domain names.  These companies do not retain, share, store, or use personally identifiable information for purposes other than as related to their service or as otherwise required by law. To the extent that these entities have access to your information, they have assured us that they will treat it at least as protectively as they treat information they obtain from their other users.

Our affiliates, subsidiaries, and joint venturers follow their own privacy practices that may be more or less protective of their users than ND’s practices described in this document. ND, its affiliates, subsidiaries, joint venturers, or any combination of such, will share some or all of your information with another business entity should we plan to merge with, or be acquired by, or obtain investment funds from that person or entity.

Legal Requests. ND cooperates with law enforcement authorities, as well as with other third parties, to enforce laws, intellectual property rights, and to prevent fraud.  Although as noted below, we typically require a subpoena or similar legal document prior to doing so, we do reserve the right, in response to a verified request by law enforcement or other government officials relating to a criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity, we can, and you authorize us to, disclose your name, city, state, telephone number, email address, login name, access history, IP address, fraud complaints, and site use history, with or without a subpoena.

Without restricting our rights to do so as noted above, as a general policy we will not disclose your personal information to law enforcement or other government officials without a subpoena, court order or substantially similar legal procedure, except when we believe in good faith that the disclosure of information is necessary to protect our rights or to prevent imminent physical harm, financial loss or to report suspected past, present, or future illegal activity. Further, we can, and you authorize us to, disclose to a third party your information, including your name, street address, city, state, zip code, country, phone number, email, and company name, as we in our sole discretion believe necessary or appropriate in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement, piracy, or other unlawful activity.

5. Your Use of Other Users' Information

In order to facilitate interaction among our users, the ND Site may allow you access to specific information about other users. You agree that, with respect to other users' personal information that you obtain through the Site, our Services, or through any ND-related communication or ND-facilitated transaction, ND hereby grants to you a limited, non-transferable, revocable license to use such information only for: (a) ND-related communications that are not unsolicited commercial messages, (b) using services offered through ND (e.g., agreements, transfer services and  complaints), and (c) any other purpose that a user expressly agrees to after you tell them the purpose for which you would like to use it.  In all cases, you must give users an opportunity to remove themselves from your database and a chance to review what information you have collected about them. In addition, under no circumstances, except as defined herein, can you disclose personal information about another site user to any third party without the written consent of ND and the written consent of that user, including, but not limited to, email correspondence with ND staff regarding ND users, whether in the course of providing ND services or otherwise. You grant us all rights necessary to extend the license referenced in, and agree that other users may use your personal information to communicate with you, in accordance with this Section.

6. Control of Your Login Name and Password

Access to the Site and Services is generally controlled by user name and password.  Guard this information carefully.  You are responsible for all actions taken using your user name and password, including fees charged to your account and adherence to the [ND General Terms].  This is the case whether or not you specifically authorized such activities.  ND personnel, its agents or affiliates will not ask you for your ND password.  If you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your information and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf.  You may also lose access to any account you have created or to transactions in which you were involved.  You should change your password regularly using the online process.

7. Accessing, Reviewing and Changing Your Personal Information

Subject to conditions, ND allows users the ability to review and change the information you submit to us by logging into the site and entering in the new information yourself.  For example, once you have logged into the Site, you can change your password, other personal, contact, and financial information, and user preferences by going to the applicable pages and following the instructions.  Certain information may not be subject to change (such as domain names subject to negotiation, pending Auction, Offers, transfer and the like).

You must always keep your personal information updated.  It is the principle means of our contacting you.  Because of limited staff and the difficulties in authentication, we typically do not accept modifications that are not submitted through the Site.

Subject to the [ND General Terms] and other restrictions, you may delete or deactivate your account or information contained therein upon request.  To request deletion or deactivation please use the “Contact Us” link on our Home Page.   In certain circumstances we may refuse or delay deletion or deactivation.  Even if an account is deactivated or deleted, we will still retain all or some of your information for internal use consistent with this Policy, or in order to prevent fraud, collect fees owed, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our [ND General Terms], and comply with legal requirements. Therefore, you should not expect that your information will be completely removed from our databases in response to your requests.

8. Notification System & Discussion Boards

If you use the notification system or discussion board(s) located on our Site you should be aware that any personally identifiable information you submit can be read, collected, or used by other users of these forums, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages.  The notification system is generally made available for use between Buyers and Sellers in connection with ongoing negotiations.  You may submit notifications in a “public” manner (they are viewable by all users) or a “private” manner (available only to ND and the Buyer).  You may not use the notification system for matters unrelated to negotiating the purchase/sale of a domain name on our Site and using our Services.  ND is not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in any of these methods.

9. Other Information Collectors

Except as otherwise expressly included in this Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you.  If you disclose information to other parties (on or outside of the Site), whether they are Bidders, Buyers or Sellers on our Site or other sites throughout the Internet, you do so at your sole risk and different rules and policies may apply. ND does not control the privacy policies of third parties.

10. Security

ND follows generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Your information is stored on ND's servers located in the United States and in European Union countries. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card or bank information) on our registration or order forms, we undertake to encrypt that information using secure socket layer or other similar technology (SSL). We treat data as an asset and strive to protect it loss and unauthorized access. We employ many different security techniques to protect data from unauthorized access by users whether they are “inside” or “outside” ND.  You understand and agree that "perfect security "does not exist on the Internet or with any digital or physical data collection and retention systems.

ND personnel are trained appropriately regarding the application of privacy practices and the importance of protecting your information.

11. Notice, Modification

We may change or replace this Policy at any time and without notice.  Such changes shall be effective as noted in our [ND General Terms].

NAMEDRIVE OFFENSIVE DOMAIN NAME POLICY

This NameDrive Offensive Domain Policy contains guidelines that help us to determine whether or not a Domain Name shall be denied listing because of its offensive nature.  It supplements the policies set forth in the [Sellers’ Listing Policies].  ND reserves the right to deny listing of domains that violate our Offensive Domain Policy or for any other reason.

Offensive Material means that which, in ND’s sole discretion, promotes or praises hatred, violence, child pornography, racial or religious intolerance or other similar impermissible content.  Once discovered by or reported to ND, domain names containing any offensive materials may not be listed and may be removed without warning or notice to anyone, including any user in whose account the domain name is intended to be or is already listed.  Repeated attempts to list domain names containing offensive material may result in suspension or cancelation of the user’s account, without warning or notice to the user, and without liability on the part of ND.

Nor does ND wish to list or otherwise provide Services for any domain name that, in our sole discretion, promotes or tends to promote organizations that endorse and/or encourage hatred, violence, child pornography, racial or religious intolerance. This includes, but is not limited to, domains promoting organizations such as the KKK, Nazis, neo-Nazis, the Aryan nation or other similar organizations.

Reporting Domains that Violate the Offensive Domain Policy.  We provide Services for millions of domain names and users all over the world.  It is impossible for ND to monitor and verify every single domain name and we disavow any obligation to do so. For this reason, we encourage you to report to us any domain name you believe has been listed in violation of our Offensive Domains Policy.  Inquiries should be sent to the “Contact Us” link on our Home Page.  Please include the domain name and the date, time and location where you noticed the Domain.

INFRINGEMENT NOTIFICATION POLICY

If you believe that your intellectual property rights have been violated by a ND user, please submit a complaint in accordance with the below procedure. A complaint may or may not result in our suspending or terminating a user’s access to and use of the Services.

3. Namedrive decision.         You agree that if the decision is made to remove the domain name from our Site, we will endeavor to do so and such shall be the limit of our responsibility.  You also agree that if a Domain review does not result in removal of the Domain, the complaining party will not be allowed to resubmit its complaint unless he can allege new facts unknown during the initial complaint.

c.      Buyer shall abide by all instructions set forth in Buyer Instructions and shall remit the full amount set forth in the invoice to the banking account designated for payment in Buyer Instructions (without offset or deduction) within five (5) days of receipt of the Buyer’s Instructions.

d.      After ND receives bank confirmation of the deposit and clearing of all required funds to the designated account. ND shall provide instructions to the Seller regarding the transfer of the Domain Name (“Seller Instructions”).  ND may, in its sole discretion, require that the Seller transfer the Domain Name to a registrar account maintained by ND as a condition to listing in any Auction or the price of the Domain Name is substantial.

h.      Transfer of funds and domain names is subject to the timely actions and cooperation by third parties.  ND or its affiliates assisting in funds transfers maintain banking relationships with one or more financial institutions.  ND’s obligation to transfer funds shall be limited to tendering instructions to its bank regarding the transfer using transfer information supplied by Seller.  Similarly, domain transfers require actions and cooperation on the part of registrars and/or registries.  ND’s obligation as to domain name transfers is limited to issuing appropriate requests and consents to transfer using information provided by others (including authorization codes and originating and resulting registrar accounts).  ND shall not be responsible for delays or failure on the part of any bank or intermediary used thereby for the processing of funds transfers or any registrar or registry.

j.        All communications of any kind, for any purpose shall be made in the English language.  In the event any other language is used, English language translations, as determined by ND, shall control.

k.     All payments shall be in freely remittable funds denominated in the Currency and made by wire transfer without offset or deduction of any nature.  Buyer shall bear banking charges as to transfers from Buyer and Seller shall bear charges as to transfers from ND to Seller.  Other costs will be paid by Buyer or Seller, depending upon the source of the cost.  Seller and Buyer each authorize ND to withdraw and retain any fees due to ND in connection with the relevant transaction.

l.        To the extent any non-domain name asset or right is the subject of any transaction, Buyer and Seller agree to transfer same separate and apart of any Transfer Services and ND shall not be responsible therefore.  Notwithstanding such direct transfer, any value assigned to the non-Domain Name transfers (e.g. trademarks, etc) shall be included in determining any fee due ND.  However, Buyer and Seller shall transfer such items separately without responsibility of ND.

m.   Buyer’s overpayments will be reimbursed at Close of the transaction.  Overpayments to Buyer or Seller will be immediately repaid to ND by the relevant party. Seller irrevocably instructs ND to withhold from payments to Seller any amount owing (including fees) to ND under this or any other agreement and use such amounts withheld as a setoff.  No interest shall be due or paid regarding funds held by ND or its affiliates in connection with any Transfer or other Services provided.

n.      At no time will ND be deemed to be the owner of the Domain Name notwithstanding that it may temporarily be held in a registrar account in the name of ND or the Name Servers may resolve to ND or its affiliates during the transfer period.

o.      All notifications by ND in connection with Transfer Services shall be by email using the email address provided by Buyer and Seller in their respective accounts or as provided to ND in connection with this Agreement, and shall be effective upon transmission.  Notifications to ND by Buyer or Seller shall be to the individual account representative assisting in the transaction and shall be effective 1 business day following confirmation of actual receipt.  Buyer and Seller will not communicate with each other directly regarding any aspect of the transaction until the transaction has been “Closed”.

p.      Should the ND site or services be unavailable, or if Buyer and Seller jointly desire to extend any period set forth in this document, ND may, but shall not be obligated to, extend such times at its sole and absolute discretion and notify. With the exception of extensions approved by ND, the periods for notice and response shall not be modified.

q.      ND makes no express or implied representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility for condition of ownership or authenticity or sufficiency of documents.

r.      If ND believes in its sole opinion that the transaction violates or is likely to violate any applicable law or regulation, any party fails to respond to ND communications within ten (10) days, or if ND receives conflicting instructions which are not resolved by written consent of Buyer and Seller, then ND may without obligation (in its sole option) terminate or suspend the transaction, reverse any payments/domain transfers, net of costs, and/or refer the matter for judicial determination, including impound, interpleader or receiver appointment and thereafter rely upon any appropriate order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.  ND’s costs and expenses shall be paid from funds held by ND in connection with the transaction.

s.       Funds or other unclaimed property held in by ND pursuant to its Transfer Services for more than two (2) years are subject to escheatment in Luxembourg or other applicable jurisdiction. Unless otherwise obligated by law or requested by both Buyer and Seller, and agreed by ND, if the transfer of the registration as provided for in this Agreement is not concluded within twelve (12) months of the Effective Date, ND is authorized to return the domain name to the control of Seller and return to Buyer any amounts received from Buyer, less ND’s fees including those otherwise payable by Seller (including costs and expenses in excess of published fees), and ND’s obligations hereunder shall be terminated.  Termination of ND’s obligations under this Agreement shall not itself relieve the Buyer and Seller of any respective legal obligations that one may have as to the other. Timely completion of transfer of any Domain Name or any funds is dependent upon the actions of third parties and ND shall not be responsible for any delay in transfer or payment beyond its reasonable control.

t.       Buyer and Seller shall hold ND harmless from any loss that may arise due to currency conversion or changes in any currency rates during the pendency of any transaction or transfer of any funds or domain name.

u.       The provisions of this document are for the benefit of Buyer, Seller and ND (and its affiliates) only no third party is intended to, or shall obtain, any rights hereunder.
