THE FOLLOWING TERMS OF USE CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

1. OVERVIEW

This Terms of Service Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Tappaya Ventures B.V. ("Tappaya") and you and is made effective as of the date of your use of this website ("Site") or the date of electronic acceptance. This Agreement sets forth the general terms and conditions of your use of the Site and the products and services purchased or accessed through this Site (individually and collectively, the “Services”). Services Terms and additional policies apply to certain Services and are in addition to (not in lieu of) this Agreement.
The terms “we”, “us” or “our” shall refer to Tappaya. The terms “you”, “your”, “User” or “customer” shall refer to any individual or entity who accepts this Agreement, has access to your account or uses the Services. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer any third party rights or benefits.

2. MODIFICATION OF AGREEMENT, SITE OR SERVICES

Tappaya may, in its sole and absolute discretion, change or modify this Agreement, and any policies or agreements which are incorporated herein, at any time, and such changes or modifications shall be effective immediately upon posting to this Site. Your use of this Site or the Services after such changes or modifications have been made shall constitute your acceptance of this Agreement as last revised. If you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement as last revised, do not use (or continue to use) this Site or the Services. In addition, Tappaya may occasionally notify you of changes or modifications to this Agreement by email. It is therefore very important that you keep your shopper account (“Account”) information current. Tappaya assumes no liability or responsibility for your failure to receive an email notification if such failure results from an inaccurate email address. In addition, Tappaya may terminate your use of Services for any violation or breach of any of the terms of this Agreement by you.

If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a corporate entity, you represent and warrant that you have the legal authority to bind such corporate entity to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, in which case the terms "you", "your", "User" or "customer" shall refer to such corporate entity. If, after your electronic acceptance of this Agreement, Tappaya finds that you do not have the legal authority to bind such corporate entity, you will be personally responsible for the obligations contained in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the payment obligations. Tappaya shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from Tappaya's reliance on any instruction, notice, document, or communication reasonably believed by Tappaya to be genuine and originating from an authorized representative of your corporate entity.

If we determine there is a problem with spam, we will take the appropriate action to resolve the situation.
We define spam as the sending of Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE), Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE) or Unsolicited Facsimiles (Fax), which is email or facsimile sent to recipients as an advertisement or otherwise, without first obtaining prior confirmed consent to receive these communications.

Commercial advertising and/or bulk emails or faxes may only be sent to recipients who have "opted-in" to receive messages. They must include a legitimate return address and reply-to address, the sender's physical address, and an opt-out method in the footer of the email or fax. Upon request by us, conclusive proof of opt-in may be required for an email address or fax number
If we determine the account, products, or services in question are being used in association with spam, we may re-direct, suspend, or cancel any account, web site hosting, domain registration, email boxes, or other applicable products or services. In such event, at our election, we may require you to respond by email to us stating that you will cease to send spam and/or have spam sent on your behalf and to require a non-refundable reactivation fee to be paid before the site, email boxes, and/or services are reactivated.
We encourage all customers and recipients of email generated from our products and services to report suspected spam. Suspected abuse can be reported by email or through our Spam Abuse Complaint Center on the Web. Web:report abuse.

You acknowledge Tappaya is not a bank and the service is a payment processing service rather than a banking service. You further acknowledge Tappaya is not acting as a trustee, fiduciary or escrow with respect to your funds.
Except under the limited circumstances expressly set forth in Section 8 Limited Warranty for Sold Domains below, Tappaya is not responsible and disclaims all liability in the event that the domain name transaction fails to complete due to breach by either the Buyer or the Seller of its respective obligations. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer does not obtain any rights in the registration of a domain name until the transaction is complete
In all transactions, where the domain name is registered to Tappaya, domain names purchased through the Services may not be transferred away from Tappaya to another registrar for a period of sixty (60) days following the Change of Ownership date.

Both Buyer and Seller are obligated to complete the transaction after they mutually agree to a price for the domain(s). Both Buyer and Seller specifically authorize and direct Tappaya to act as their Designated Agent to facilitate the transfer of the domain(s).

Once you send payment, Tappaya will hold those funds for a prescribed period of time based on the type of transaction, at which time Tappaya will remit payment to the Seller. At no time will Buyer be able to withdraw those funds or send the funds to another recipient unless the initial transaction is cancelled. Should the seller refuse payment, the funds will be returned to Buyer. You agree Tappaya is not responsible for breach of contract based upon Seller's refusal to accept the aforementioned mutually agreed to purchase price. In the event you and the Seller do not reach an agreement upon a purchase price, Tappaya shall return any funds held by Tappaya for the purchase of the domain to you as soon as commercially reasonably possible.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that in no event shall Tappaya refund the initial fee Buyer is required to pay to use the Services.
Ultimately within 30 days after payment of the Domain Purchase Price to Tappaya, the Buyer shall effectuate the transfer of the domain itself in accordance with the transfer instructions as sent by the Tappaya. Parties may agree to an extension of the transfer period, for example in case the transfer of the domain is explicitly delayed as agreed by the Tappaya and Buyer. If the Buyer doesn’t transfer the domain within the set timeframe of 30 days, and no exceptions to this clause have explicitly been made, the Buyer is deemed to have waived its rights to the domain. In the event the transfer of the domain has not been effectuated within the 30 day’s timeframe, the Tappaya will be the legal owner of the domain. Parties acknowledge and agree that no refund of the Domain Purchase Price is possible after payment of such Price to the Seller.
