Terms of Service

Effective Date: March 2026

​​​

1. THE WESTMORE MODEL: PRINCIPAL ALIGNMENT

​

Westmore operates exclusively as a Private Principal, not a domain brokerage or real estate firm. Our business model is designed to provide "Principal-to-Principal" alignment, offering specific strategic advantages:

​

• No Upfront Fees: We do not charge "listing," "search," or "consultation" fees. Our value is realized only upon a successful settlement.

​

• Direct Asset Acquisition: Westmore reserves the right to acquire assets directly from third-party sellers to facilitate a secure and anonymous transfer to the Client. This shields the Client from "Deep-Pocket" price inflation.

​

• Zero-Friction Settlements: All transactions are executed via a simplified Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA). Our model often bypasses invasive KYC requirements—such as passport scans and utility bills—typically required by traditional agents.

​

• Privacy Protection: By acting as the Principal, we remain the face of the transaction. Your identity remains protected from non-responsive or hostile registrants.

​

2. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

​

By accessing Westmore.com (the "Site") or submitting an inquiry, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site immediately.

​

3. DOMAIN SALES & AVAILABILITY

​

All domains are subject to prior sale. Westmore reserves the right to cancel a transaction if an asset is no longer available or was listed with an obvious pricing error. Ownership is transferred only after full payment is received and cleared.

​

4. SETTLEMENT & ASSET CUSTODY (WESTMORE TRUST)

​

"Westmore Trust" manages the structured financial settlement and payment schedules for all transactions.

​

• Direct Settlement: Standard transactions are settled via direct bank transfer (Wire/ACH) to Westmore’s corporate accounts.

​

• Third-Party Escrow: At Westmore’s sole discretion, or upon mutual agreement for specific high-value assets, we may opt to utilize a licensed, third-party escrow service or institutional legal trust account to facilitate the transfer.

​

• Use Rights: During a financing or payment term, the buyer is granted "Use Rights" (DNS control) to build or host.

​

• Default: Failure to meet payment obligations results in the termination of the agreement. Previous payments are non-refundable as they cover the "holding" and "opportunity costs" of the asset during the term.

​

5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY & INDEMNIFICATION

​

This section limits your legal recourse. By engaging Westmore, the User agrees that Westmore, its principals and affiliates shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from:

​

• Technical Failures: Registrar errors, DNS delays, or third-party banking mishaps.

​

• Strategic Reliance: Any actions taken in response to verbal or written advisory, communications, or market intelligence.

​

• Communication: Any reliance on emails, messages, or verbal discussions.

​

• Indemnity: User shall indemnify, defend, and hold Westmore harmless from all claims, losses, or costs (including attorneys’ fees) arising from User’s decisions, actions, or post-acquisition use of assets. Total aggregate liability shall not exceed the total fees actually paid to Westmore for the specific engagement.

​

6. NO LEGAL OR FINANCIAL ADVICE

​

Westmore is a Strategic Advisory, not a law firm or licensed financial brokerage. All communications should be reviewed by your legal counsel. Westmore is not responsible for the legal validity of trademarks or tax implications of asset transfers.

​

7. RELATIONSHIP & INDEPENDENT ACTIVITY (THE PRINCIPAL SHIELD)

​

• 7.1 No Brokerage Relationship: Inquiry does not create an agency, brokerage, or fiduciary relationship. Westmore does not act as your agent. All transactions are conducted on a Purchase and Sale Agreement basis.

​

• 7.2 Independent Pursuit & Competition: Westmore and its affiliates reserve the unrestricted right to negotiate for and acquire any digital asset at its sole discretion, including those that may have been the subject of a user inquiry.

​

• 7.3 No Expectancy: Submission of an inquiry does not grant the User any "expectancy," "equitable interest," or "right of first refusal" in any asset. Westmore is under no obligation to "stand aside" for any asset.

​

• 7.4 Waiver of Conflict: User irrevocably waives any claims of "Conflict of Interest" or "Usurpation of Business Opportunity" arising from Westmore’s independent business activities.

​

• 7.5 Non-Confidentiality: Unless subject to a separately executed written NDA, information or domain names submitted to Westmore shall not be considered confidential.

​

8. UDRP RECOVERY TRACK: SPECIALIZED TERMS

​

This section applies specifically to the Westmore UDRP Recovery Program.

​

• 8.1 Scope: Engagement begins only after a UDRP decision is final. Westmore does not file complaints or represent clients before arbitration bodies.

​

• 8.2 "Best Efforts" Basis: Westmore is not responsible for the "Victory Premium" or "Spite Pricing" set by owners following a failed legal action by the Client's prior representation.

​

• 8.3 Success-Based Fees: Fees are earned at the moment a price is agreed upon in writing (including email), regardless of whether the transaction ultimately closes.

​

• 8.4 Non-Circumvention: Any acquisition of the subject domain by the Client, affiliates, or investors within 24 months of engagement is subject to the agreed success-based compensation.

​

9. GOVERNING LAW & DISPUTE RESOLUTION

​

These Terms are governed by the laws of Westmore's operating jurisdiction. Any disputes shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration or within local courts at Westmore’s sole discretion.

​

10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

​

These Terms constitute the entire agreement regarding the use of the Site and supersede all prior discussions or understandings.
