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 Flippadeal about any buyer or seller, including their identity, background or whether they are trustworthy, safe or suitable.
To access or use some of the Flippadeal Services, you may be asked to provide proof of identity or other methods of identity verification. You agree to provide Flippadeal or any third party which provides goods or services to Flippadeal with all identification documents (including but not limited to, copies of passports and/or government-issued driver’s license) which Flippadeal requests from you from time to time for the purposes of verifying your identity.
5.2 Data Verified and Vetted by Flippadeal
Flippadeal 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.
6.Flippadeal’s Role
Flippadeal allows third-party sellers to list and sell their assets using the Flippadeal Services. Flippadeal 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 Flippadeal helps facilitate transactions that are carried out on the Website, Flippadeal is not a buyer or seller in any transaction involving the seller’s assets or any other transaction among users of the Services.
Flippadeal 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. Flippadeal 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. Flippadeal 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, Flippadeal 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 Flippadeal 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 Flippadeal and in the event either party should pursue litigation against Flippadeal the non-litigating party shall hold Flippadeal harmless in accordance with clause 22.
Flippadeal 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 Flippadeal 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 Flippadeal may display only a summary description of a listed asset.
To help facilitate a safe, secure transaction and to preserve the integrity of the Flippadeal Services, you can access legal services and template legal documents via Flippadeal Legal powered by Contracts Counsel. You acknowledge that you use these documents at your own risk. You agree that Flippadeal nor Contracts Counsel has not in any way provided legal or financial advice by providing these documents or made representations or warranties that they are suitable for your requirements or needs and may not be appropriate or suitable to the sale or purchase of a particular asset. Flippadeal recommends all parties seek their own independent legal advice in relation to the documents.
7. Listing Rules
The following assets may be listed for sale on Flippadeal :
(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, Flippadeal does not promote, encourage or facilitate the sale of securities using Flippadeal 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 Flippadeal 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 Flippadeal 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 Flippadeal 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) Flippadeal deems inappropriate or in breach of these Terms.
8. Listing Types
Flippadeal 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, Flippadeal 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.
