Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the website at https://yournames.io (the "Site") and everything offered through it by Only Buy Bitcoin LLC, a Delaware limited liability company operating under the name YourNames ("we", "us", "our"). By using the Site you ("you") agree to these Terms.

1. What this site is

The Site offers two distinct things, on different terms:

• A marketplace — a self-serve interface for registering Ethereum Name Service ("ENS") names, and for listing, buying, selling, and making offers on names using the Seaport protocol. This is Sections 2 to 8.
• Concierge acquisition — an optional advisory service in which we approach an owner and negotiate on your behalf. This is Section 9, and it applies only if you engage us for it.

We are an independent operator. We are not affiliated with ENS Labs, the ENS DAO, OpenSea, Grails, or any other marketplace, and we are not a law firm, broker-dealer, bank, exchange, or escrow agent.

2. We never take custody

We do not hold your names, your funds, or your private keys at any point. Registrations, purchases, sales, and offers execute directly between wallets through public smart contracts. We cannot move a name for you, reverse a transaction, freeze an order after it has been filled, or recover assets. Access to your name depends entirely on continued access to your wallet; if you lose that access, the name is not recoverable by us or by anyone else.

3. Registering a name

Registration fees are set by the ENS protocol and paid to it, not to us. We charge nothing to register a name. Registration requires two transactions and network (gas) fees, which you pay regardless of whether the registration ultimately succeeds.

Names are rentals, not permanent property. A name is registered for a fixed term and must be renewed. If it lapses, it enters a grace period during which only the previous owner may renew, and after that it returns to the open market and may be registered by anyone. Keeping track of renewal is your responsibility. Any expiry date shown on the Site is read from the blockchain for convenience and is not a reminder service, a guarantee, or a commitment to renew on your behalf.

4. Buying, selling, and offers

Listings and offers are orders on the Seaport protocol, a public smart contract we neither own nor control. When you list a name or make an offer, you cryptographically sign an order that anyone may fulfil while it remains valid. A signature is a commitment. Signing costs no gas and is not itself a transfer, but it authorises the described trade, and we cannot retract a signed order on your behalf.

Listing a name also requires granting the Seaport contract approval to transfer it when a sale executes. That approval persists until you revoke it on-chain, and is separate from any individual order.

Cancelling. Removing an order from the Site stops us displaying it, but does not by itself invalidate it. Only an on-chain cancellation reliably prevents an order from being filled. Orders also carry an expiry after which they lapse automatically.

Our fee. We charge a marketplace fee of 2% of the sale price on transactions executed through orders created on the Site. It is paid by the seller, is included as a term of the signed order, is shown to the seller before they sign, and is collected only when a sale actually executes. It does not apply to registrations, to orders that never fill, or to orders created elsewhere. Network fees and any fees charged by other venues are separate and are not ours.

5. Listings sourced from other marketplaces

Some listings shown on the Site were created on other marketplaces and are displayed here from public data. They are marked as such. We did not source, verify, or negotiate them, we earn no fee on them, and their price, availability, and validity are outside our control. Public market data — listings, offers, past sales, ownership, expiry — is supplied by third-party APIs, may be incomplete, delayed, or wrong, and is provided for information only. Verify anything you intend to rely on independently.

6. Taking control after you buy

For a name that is not wrapped, receiving the token makes you the registrant, but the previous owner remains the registry controller — able to change the resolver and records — until a further on-chain step (reclaim) is completed. The Site prompts you to take this step after a purchase. Until you complete it, the name may not behave as you expect. Wrapped names are not affected.

7. No guarantee; no advice

The Site is provided for your own use in transacting directly with third parties. We do not guarantee that any name is available, that any owner will respond or sell, that any order will fill, or that any transaction will complete at any price or at all. Nothing on the Site is legal, financial, investment, or tax advice, and nothing here is an offer or solicitation to buy or sell a security. Names may be worth substantially less than you pay.

8. Your responsibilities

• Your wallet, keys, and custody arrangements are yours to secure. On-chain transactions are irreversible and we cannot recover assets sent in error.
• Confirm the exact name — including spelling, character set, and any visually similar characters — before registering, buying, or making an offer.
• You are responsible for your own tax, accounting, legal, and regulatory obligations, and for ensuring your use of the Site is lawful where you are.
• Do not use the Site to infringe trademarks or other rights, to impersonate, or to attempt to disrupt, scrape abusively, or circumvent the Site's controls.

9. Concierge engagements

This section applies only where you separately engage us for concierge acquisition, and does not apply to ordinary marketplace use. It is governed additionally by the Confidentiality / NDA Agreement.

We charge no upfront fees, retainers, or minimums. Our sole compensation is a success fee of 5% of the gross purchase price of an acquired ENS name (the "Success Fee"), due at, and only upon, a Successful Closing. This is entirely separate from, and never charged in addition to, the marketplace fee in Section 4.

A "Successful Closing" means both of the following have occurred for a name we introduced, negotiated, or facilitated: (a) the ENS name has been transferred on-chain to a wallet designated by you (or registered directly to such wallet, where the engagement is a direct registration), and (b) the purchase payment has been confirmed as released to the seller.

The Success Fee covers our introduction, strategic guidance, negotiation, and closing facilitation. It does not include third-party costs (escrow provider fees, marketplace or settlement-venue fees, network/gas fees, or your own legal or custody costs), which are borne by the parties to the transaction. Where the settlement arrangement permits, the Success Fee is disbursed to us directly at closing; otherwise it is invoiced to you and payable within fourteen (14) days of the Successful Closing.

Anti-circumvention.Once we have disclosed to you the identity of a name's owner or seller (or disclosed your interest to them), or have otherwise materially advanced a negotiation on your behalf, you agree not to circumvent us. Specifically, for a period of twenty-four (24) months from that disclosure, you will not — directly or through any affiliate, agent, or intermediary — acquire that ENS name (or negotiate its acquisition) from that owner or seller other than through us. If a covered acquisition completes in breach of this section, the Success Fee remains due on the gross purchase price as if the closing had occurred through us. This section does not apply where you can demonstrate a pre-existing, documented relationship with the owner concerning the same name prior to our disclosure, and it does not apply to names you buy through the public marketplace without our involvement.

10. Availability

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time. The Site depends on third-party infrastructure — Ethereum nodes, wallet providers, indexing and market-data APIs — and may be unavailable or show stale information when those are. Because we hold nothing, an outage does not affect names or orders that already exist on-chain.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law: the Site and services are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind; we are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, lost opportunities, or losses arising from smart-contract behaviour, network conditions, wallet compromise, lost keys, expired names, or the acts of counterparties or third-party services; and our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Site will not exceed the greater of (a) the fees actually received by us in connection with the transaction giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100).

12. Confidentiality and privacy

Personal data is handled under the Privacy Policy. Information shared with us in a concierge engagement is handled under the Confidentiality / NDA Agreement.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Site at any time. We may suspend access where we reasonably believe the Site is being used unlawfully or abusively. Either party may end a concierge engagement by written notice; ending one does not affect fees already earned, and Sections 9 (anti-circumvention), 11 (limitation of liability), and the Confidentiality / NDA Agreement survive.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute informally within thirty (30) days of written notice; failing that, disputes will be resolved exclusively by the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware, and both parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. For concierge engagements above US$250,000 the parties may agree in writing to binding arbitration instead.

15. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. The version in force when you use the Site or sign an engagement governs it. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above.
