5. Your
Account
By
registering and creating an account with Flippa, you represent and warrant that
you are over 18 years of age and you can form legally binding agreements under
applicable law. If you are registering an account for a business, organization
or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to
legally bind that entity. You may operate multiple accounts on
Flippa so long as you only have one account for personal use and one account
for business use.
You are
responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password.
Except to the extent caused by our breach of these Terms, you are responsible
for all activities that occur under your account regardless of whether the
activities are authorized by you or undertaken by you. Flippa is not responsible
for unauthorized access to or use of your password or account. You should take
all necessary steps to ensure that your password is kept confidential and

your account, (c) terminating your account, or (d) removing or editing content
you post using your account. The action we elect to take and any notice you may

assessment of relevant factors. In the event of suspected fraud, suspicion
that Flippa users are being deliberately misled and / or evidence of shill bidding
or similar, an immediate ban will take place without recourse.
6. ID
Verification
6.1
Government ID Verification
Any
reference to a buyer or seller being “verified” indicates only that the buyer
or seller has completed a relevant verification or identification process and
nothing else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or
guarantee by Flippa about any buyer or seller, including their identity,
background or whether they are trustworthy, safe or suitable.
To access
or use some of the Flippa Services, you may be asked to provide proof of
identity or other methods of identity verification. You agree to provide Flippa
or any third party which provides goods or services to Flippa with all
identification documents (including but not limited to, copies of passports
and/or government-issued driver’s license) which Flippa requests from you from
time to time for the purposes of verifying your identity.
6.2 Data
Verified and Vetted by Flippa
Flippa
gives sellers the ability to connect their asset to third party providers
including but not limited to Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Shopify,
WooCommerce, Stripe and more. A listing marked “Data Verified” indicates
that the seller has connected with at least one of these product providers.
Flippa has
a team of specialists, including our broker partners, who are equipped to
review assets to ensure the accuracy of data displayed and therefore help to
preserve the integrity of our marketplace. A listing marked “Vetted by Flippa”
indicates that a Flippa representative, or broker partner, has reviewed and
verified the information provided by a seller to confirm it is accurate.
Despite
the fact that an asset or business is marked “Data Verified” and/or “Vetted by
Flippa,” Flippa makes no warranties or representations as to the accuracy and
completeness of the data displayed or the current or future performance of a
business or an asset. Third party data verification or review by Flippa,
or one of its broker partners, is not a substitute for due diligence. As a
buyer, you understand you are responsible for investigating all aspects of any
purchase of assets, including independently reviewing financial information,
market circumstances, operational issues, supplier contacts, and other factors
relating to the functioning of the business. Flippa recommends you supplement
the information provided by Flippa, or a broker partner, with your own
investigation and analysis.
6.
Flippa’s Role
Flippa
allows third-party sellers to list and sell their assets using the Flippa
Services. Flippa does not own, create, sell, resell, provide, control, offer or
deliver listings or the assets contained therein. The relevant seller is
indicated on the respective listing page. While Flippa helps facilitate
transactions that are carried out on the Website, Flippa is not a buyer or
seller in any transaction involving the seller’s assets or any other transaction
among users of the Services.
Flippa
provides an avenue for sellers and buyers to negotiate and complete
transactions. Accordingly, the contract agreed to by the sellers and buyers
regarding the seller’s assets is solely between the buyer and seller. Flippa is
not a party to this contract and does not assume any responsibility arising out
of or in connection with the contract and/or the transaction. Flippa does
not act as an agent for the buyer or seller. The seller is solely responsible
for the sale of their assets and the buyer is solely responsible for the
purchase of the assets.
By using
the Services, buyer and seller acknowledge that in the event of a dispute
between a buyer and seller, Flippa is not a party to any transaction among the
parties and therefore will not participate in any such dispute, except as
follows. Buyer and seller acknowledge and agree that Flippa may, upon
receiving notice of a dispute from either party, and only prior to the shipping
and/or delivery of the assets or under any circumstance where the following is
not possible, choose in its sole and absolute discretion to cancel the
transaction. In such an event buyer and seller acknowledge and agree that
neither party shall have any cause of action against Flippa and in the event
either party should pursue litigation against Flippa the non-litigating party
shall hold Flippa harmless in accordance with clause 21.
Flippa is
not responsible for:
(a) the
existence, quality, suitability of legality of a listed asset;
(b) the
truth, accuracy or completeness of the information contained in a listing;
(c) the
future performance of a listed asset;
(d) the
performance or conduct of a buyer or seller or third-party on the Website;
and/or
(e) the
quality, suitability or ability of a third party which provides goods or
services to Flippa or to a buyer or seller.
Your
decision to purchase a listed asset shall be based solely on your own
investigation and that of your legal, tax and other advisors. You accept sole
responsibility for examining and investigating an asset and all information in
a listing. This includes, but is not limited to, associated liabilities,
financial statements, tax returns and any other facts or information which may
impact your decision to purchase that listed asset and the price you are
willing to pay. You understand that Flippa may display only a summary
description of a listed asset.
7. Listing
Rules
The
following assets may be listed for sale on Flippa:
(a) all
detail and reference to files contained in a website or an application,
including but not limited to, the HTML, the code base, other source code, logos,
images, music, animation, films and other media, licenses and other works
associated with the website or the application;
(b) any
rights and obligations under or in relation to an agreement with a third party
relating to assets which may include, but is not limited to hosting agreements,
payment provider agreements, affiliate agreements and seller agreements;
(c) a
brand name relating to a business, including any registered trademarks
specified in the listing;
(d) any
records;
(e) all
rights to a domain name;
(f) any
other documented asset including inventory or other agreement critical to the
sale and ongoing concern of a business, including legal agreements, employment
agreement, leasing agreements and other agreements; and
(g) any
other particulars specified as being sold as part of a listing.
For the
avoidance of doubt, Flippa does not promote, encourage or facilitate the sale
of securities using Flippa Services.
When you
create a listing, you will be asked to provide complete and accurate
information about your asset, including, but not limited to a business
description and current and historical financial data. You are responsible for
your listing and keeping your listing information up to date at all times. You
will also be asked to set an asking price for your asset/s, either a set price
in the case of a fixed-price listing or a starting price, reserve price, and
optional buy it now price, in the case of an auction-format listing. Please be
aware that Flippa may, in its sole discretion, prevent you from listing your
asset for sale, or suspend an existing listing, if it considers that a price
set is unreasonable or not aligned with market value.
You
warrant and represent to Flippa and to each buyer that:
(a) you
own the asset or are entitled to sell the asset;
(b) you
are the owner of all intellectual property rights, including but not limited to
copyright, patent, trademark, designs whether registered or not and throughout
the world and all other rights, title and interest in the asset,
(c) the
asset is transferable to a buyer; and
(d) any
and all agreements with third parties are transferable to the Buyer.
You must
not create a listing for an asset which is:
(a) is
obscene, vulgar and/or deemed by Flippa to be offensive;
(b)
contains material which infringes the rights of a third party or which assists
others to infringe the rights of a third party;
(c) is
engaged in activities which contravenes law of any territory; or
(d) Flippa
deems inappropriate or in breach of these Terms.
8. Listing
Types
Flippa
enables two kinds of listings — auction-format listings and fixed-price
listings.
With a
fixed price-listing, any buyer can offer to purchase the asset contained in a
listing. An offer must be placed on the listing. A seller can accept, reject or
counter any offer. If you are a buyer and have placed an offer, you acknowledge
and agree that should the seller accept that offer, you are committing to
purchase the asset and may be required to pay for it. If you are a seller and
have accepted an offer, you acknowledge and agree that you are committing to
sell the listed asset to the buyer.
With an
auction-format listing, a seller will accept bids from buyers for a predetermined
amount of time — generally 30 days. For a bid to be valid, it must be higher
than the starting price or then-current bid. At the end of the auction, the
asset subject of the listing will be declared sold to the highest bidder,
provided their bid exceeds the reserve price set by the seller. Should you win
the auction, you agree that you are committing to purchase the listed asset and
may be required to pay for it.
For the
avoidance of doubt, Flippa is not an auctioneer and a seller conducts an auction
on their own behalf.
A listing
may also show a ‘buy it now’ button with a price listed next to it. A buyer may
purchase a listed asset simply by clicking the ‘buy it now’ button, provided it
is accepted by the seller. By clicking ‘buy it now,’ a buyer commits to buying
the listed asset.
9.
Exclusivity
If
a listed asset has a set asking price, in the case of a fixed-priced listed, or
a reserve price, in the case of an auction-format listing, equal to or above
USD$25,000, you agree that you will promote and/or sell that asset exclusively
using the Flippa Services.
For
assets and online businesses valued up to $100,000 and for the period in which
your asset(s) is for sale with Flippa and for 30 days from the date you remove
your listing, you warrant that you will not use any other platform, marketplace
or service, including a broker service, to promote or sell your asset, without
the express written permission of Flippa.
For
assets and online businesses valued up to $15M and for the period in which your
asset(s) is for sale with Flippa and for 45 days from the date you remove your
listing, you warrant that you will not use any other platform, marketplace or
service, including a broker service, to promote or sell your asset, without the
express written permission of Flippa.
If
Flippa discovers that you have been in violation of this clause 10, you
acknowledge and agree that Flippa has the right to immediately suspend your
listing and terminate your account and may, at its discretion, take action
against you to recover a success fee.
10.
Marketplace Circumvention

the seller, the buyer is liable to pay the success fee.

by you will expire 12 months from the date that you last used any credits.

Calculator is an estimate only and must not be construed as or relied upon as a
