2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
The Services are provided to facilitate the buying of currently registered domain names. OV International Services provides a venue and a transaction facilitation process and will take a stated commission for each completed transaction. OV International Services is not an escrow agent. As a result, OV International Services does not guarantee the quality, safety or legality of many of the domain names. A Seller may elect to withdraw from negotiations at any time without any penalty, but not when there is an agreed upon sale, at which point the negotiation process is deemed to be complete.

In these transactions, OV International Services acts as a transaction facilitator to help you buy and sell domain names. OV International Services will not use your funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes, and will not voluntarily make funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy or for any other purpose. You acknowledge OV International Services is not a bank and the service is a payment processing service rather than a banking service. You further acknowledge OV International Services is not acting as a trustee, fiduciary or escrow with respect to your funds.

In all transactions, where the domain name is registered to OV International Services, domain names purchased through the Services may not be transferred away from OV International Services to another registrar for a period of sixty (60) days following the Change of Ownership date.

Availability of Services

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and each of OV International Services’s policies and procedures, OV International Services shall use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to provide (A) certain portions of the Services on a twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week basis throughout the term of this Agreement and (B) other portions of the Services, including, but not limited to, the domain broker(s), during normal business hours.

You agree to notify OV International Services within five (5) business days when any of the information you provided changes. It is your responsibility to keep this information in a current and accurate status. Failure by you, for whatever reason, to provide OV International Services with accurate and reliable information on an initial and continual basis, shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement.

Purchasing Domain Names

As a Buyer, you are required to deposit the mutually agreed-upon price and Buyer’s broker premium, as established by OV International Services, as soon as practical after you and the Seller reach an agreement, but in no event later than five (5) business days after you and the seller have agreed to a price. Once you send payment, OV International Services will hold those funds for a prescribed period of time based on the type of transaction, at which time OV International Services 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 OV International Services is not responsible for breach of contract based upon Seller’s refusal to accept the aforementioned mutually agreed to sales price. In the event you and the Seller do not reach an agreement upon a sales price, OV International Services shall return any funds held by OV International Services for the purchase of the domain to you as soon as commercially reasonably possible.

Buyer acknowledges and agrees that in no event shall OV International Services refund the initial fee Buyer is required to pay to use the Services.
