Terms of Service

Effective Date: February 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using Westmore.com (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please discontinue use of the Site immediately.

2. Domain Sales & Availability

Inventory: All domains listed are subject to prior sale. While we strive for accuracy, Westmore reserves the right to cancel a transaction if a domain is no longer available or was listed with an obvious pricing error.

Transfer of Ownership: Ownership is transferred only after full payment is received and cleared. For standard sales, this occurs via secure push or auth-code transfer.

3. Financing via Westmore Trust

For users opting for "Financing Options" or "Payment Plans," the following applies:

Approval: All financing is subject to approval by Westmore Trust.

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

Ownership Lock: The domain will remain in a secure escrow account managed by Westmore Trust until the final payment is made.

Default: Failure to meet payment obligations may result in the termination of the agreement and loss of access to the domain. Previous payments are non-refundable as they cover the "holding" and "use" of the asset.

4. Payments & Security

Processing: All financial transactions are handled through Westmore Trust or verified third-party platforms.

Currency: All prices are in USD unless otherwise stated.

Interest: Financing plans are subject to an interest rate (currently 8% APR) as disclosed at the time of the agreement.

5. Intellectual Property

The content, logo and layout of Westmore.com are the property of Westmore. You may not reproduce or "scrape" our inventory listings for commercial use without express written permission.

6. Limitation of Liability

Westmore provides the Site and its services on an "as-is" basis. We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from the use of our domains or the interruption of service during a transfer.

7. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Westmore operates. Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration or within local courts.

8. Changes to Terms

Westmore reserves the right to modify these terms at any time. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the new terms.

TERMS OF SERVICE: ADVISORY & LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

9. Nature of Service: Best Efforts Basis

Westmore provides strategic advisory, negotiation, and acquisition services. All services—including but not limited to Strategic Acquisitions, Divestments, and UDRP Recovery—are provided on a "Best Efforts" basis. Westmore does not, and cannot, guarantee a specific outcome, the successful recovery of a contested asset, or the willingness of a third party to sell or transfer any digital property.

10. Limitation of Liability & Indemnification

By engaging our services, the Client agrees that Westmore, its principals (including Gerard Michael), and its affiliates shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from:

Asset Transfers: Technical failures, registrar errors, or delays in the DNS propagation/escrow process.

Payments: Losses incurred due to third-party escrow failures, wire transfer delays, or currency fluctuations.

Legal Outcomes: The denial or unfavorable ruling of any UDRP, ACPA, or trademark litigation initiated by the Client or third parties.

Regulatory Violations: Any breach of international trade laws, OFAC sanctions, or trademark infringements caused by the Client's choice of asset.

11. No Legal or Financial Advice

Westmore is a Strategic Advisory, not a law firm or a licensed financial brokerage. While we provide market intelligence and strategic positioning, all communications should be reviewed by your legal counsel. Westmore is not responsible for the legal validity of trademarks or the tax implications of high-value asset transfers.

12. UDRP Recovery Specifics

The UDRP Recovery Track is a specialized negotiation service. Engagement in this track does not constitute a legal defense. Westmore is not responsible for the "Victory Premium" or "Spite Pricing" set by domain owners following a failed legal action by the Client's prior representation.

13. NDA & Confidentiality Limits

While Westmore employs Tier-1 Confidentiality Protocols, we are not liable for breaches of confidentiality caused by:

Third-party service providers (Email hosts, Registrars, Escrow agents).

Publicly available WHOIS data or "leaks" from the opposing party in a negotiation.

Legal subpoenas or court-ordered disclosures.

14. Force Majeure

Westmore is not liable for any failure of performance due to causes beyond its control, including but not limited to: government actions, internet infrastructure collapses, or the sudden insolvency of a third-party domain registrar.

15. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms of Service and any engagement with Westmore are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Westmore operates. By utilizing our services, you irrevocably consent that any disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to our advisory shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration or within local courts at Westmore’s discretion. This choice of venue is final and intended to provide a streamlined resolution process for all parties involved.
