DOMAIN NAME LISTING & AUCTION SERVICES AGREEMENT


THIS DOMAIN NAME LISTING & AUCTION SERVICE AGREEMENT (hereinafter referred to as the
"Agreement") is made and entered into on ___________________ (the “Effective Date”), by and between
____________________________ ("Seller"), and NameJet, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
("NameJet"). Seller and NameJet may collectively be referred to herein as the "Parties" and referred to
singularly as a “Party”.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, and
intending to be legally bound, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

I. PURPOSE

The purpose of this Agreement is to provide the terms and conditions by which NameJet will list certain
domain names belonging to Seller (the “Domain Names”, as further defined herein) for auction on
NameJet’s online backorder and auction platform (the “Auction Platform”).

II. DEFINITIONS

The following capitalized terms shall have the meanings hereunder given below:

A. An “Auction” shall mean an auction for the rights to a Domain Name to be held on the
Auction Platform hereunder.

B. “Auction Price” shall mean the final auction sale price of a Domain Name.

C. "Auction Services" shall mean the auction services described in the NameJet Terms of
Use found online at http://www.namejet.com/Pages/Terms.aspx (the “Terms of Use”).

D. A “Buyer” shall mean a winning bidder of an Auction involving a Domain Name


hereunder.

E. “Domain Names” shall mean all domain names listed in Exhibit A or otherwise identified
in any other list provided by Seller to NameJet, whereby such Domain Names are registered to or
otherwise controlled by Seller and are to be listed for auction and/or sale on the Auction Platform.

F. "NameJet Website" shall mean the Internet website owned and/or operated by NameJet
and through which NameJet offers and provides its auction and backorder services via the Auction
Platform and is currently found online at www.namejet.com.

III. AUCTION PROCESS

A. Auction Transfers. For non-reserve auctions for each Domain Name, upon notice of a
backorder of a Domain Name by a NameJet customer, Seller shall initiate a transfer of the specified
Domain Name to a registrar holding account designated by NameJet who will hold the Domain Name until
NameJet transfers the Domain Name to the NameJet customer that ultimately purchases the Domain
Name on the Auction Platform. For reserve auctions for each Domain Name, upon notice of the reserve
being met during the Auction of a Domain Name by a NameJet customer, Seller shall initiate a transfer of
the specified Domain Name to a registrar holding account designated by NameJet who will hold the
Domain Name until NameJet transfers the Domain Name to the NameJet customer that ultimately
purchases the Domain Name on the Auction Platform. Seller shall further change the host records of the
Domain Names to those specified by NameJet.

Revised Version 2.1 – August 2017

While the Domain Names are placed in a registrar holding account as referenced above, Seller agrees
that it shall not have access to this account and may not request a registrar transfer; however Seller may
change DNS servers at any time until rights to the Domain Names are sold via an Auction. Seller explicitly
agrees to “opt-out” of the sixty (60) day inter-registrar transfer lock prior to a Change of Registrant request
authorizing the transfer of any Domain Name that is sold at auction through NameJet.

B. Timing. The Domain Names will be auctioned off substantially in accordance with any
proposed dates listed in Exhibit A or as otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Parties.

C. Pricing and Fees. Following receipt of payment of the Auction Price from the related
Buyer, NameJet agrees to pay Seller the Auction Price for any such Domain Names auctioned hereunder
less a fifteen percent (15%) commission (“Net Auction Proceeds”). NameJet will set reserves, minimum
bid requirements and other applicable transaction fees, if any, with respect to the Domains Names
following consultation with Seller.

D. Data. NameJet shall own all rights to its customer data collected by NameJet. Such
NameJet Customer Data information shall be treated by Seller as NameJet’s Confidential Information. All
communications from Seller pertaining to Seller’s Domain Names shall be sent to NameJet via the
General Manager thereof and then forwarded on to the NameJet customer. In no circumstances shall
Seller communicate directly with a NameJet customer.

E. Cancellation. NameJet may, before, during, or after completion of any auction, cancel
any Auction for any reason.

F. Temporary Web Page. Domain Names listed for auction may resolve to a temporary
Web page on which NameJet may place advertisements for its backorder and auction services.
However, notwithstanding the above, Seller may elect to direct the DNS for some of the Domain Names
to websites or parked pages managed by Seller.

G. Backorder and Bidding Prohibition. Seller agrees that it will not place backorders or
bids on the Domain Names being auctioned on the Auction Platform nor collaborate with others to do so
on their behalf.

IV. SALES AND REFUNDS; PAYMENT TERMS

A. In General. All sales of Domain Names and the rights thereto are subject to the terms
and conditions in this Agreement and the Terms of Use. If NameJet determines a sale transaction to be
fraudulent, upon notification and return of the Domain Name in question to Seller’s control and registrar of
choice NameJet shall have the right to request a refund of the related fee from Seller, or offset the refund
amount against future payments owed to Seller hereunder, if any such request is made within ninety (90)
days from the date of the Auction of the Domain Name (“the Charge Back Period”). In such cases,
NameJet shall return the Domain Name to Seller by placing it back in the designated registrar account in
the control of Seller. After ninety (90) days from the Auction, NameJet may not seek a refund or transfer
back the Domain Name to Seller but instead shall maintain that Domain Name in an account designated
by NameJet and may take any other actions NameJet deems appropriate.

B. Payment. NameJet shall pay the Net Auction Proceeds due to Seller pursuant to Section
III above within thirty (30) days after the last day of the calendar month in which such Net Auction
Proceeds are collected from the applicable Buyer. Payments shall be made by check or wire transfer.

V. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

A. Representations and Warranties of Seller. Seller makes the following representations


and warranties hereunder:

1. Seller has the requisite power and authority to enter into and carry out this
Agreement.

2. To Seller’s knowledge, there is no action, proceeding, or investigation, pending


or threatened, which questions, directly or indirectly, the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

3. Seller has taken all actions required by applicable law, and has obtained all
consents which are necessary to authorize or enable it to execute and deliver this Agreement and to
consummate the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. The individuals executing this Agreement
on behalf of Seller have been duly authorized and are empowered to bind Seller to this Agreement.

4. Seller shall comply with all federal, state and local laws and regulations in
connection with its performance under this Agreement, including those related to any notice requirements
necessary prior to the auction of the Domain Names hereunder.

5. Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation by Seller of the
actions contemplated by this Agreement will (a) conflict with, or result in a breach of, the terms, conditions
or provisions of, or constitute a default, or result in a termination of, any agreement or instrument to which
Seller is a party, (b) violate any restriction to which Seller is subject, or (c) constitute a violation of any
applicable laws.

artificially drive up the price or apparent value of a domain name. Shill bidding may also include placing a
bid with no legitimate intention of winning an auction. If NameJet suspects or otherwise determines, in its
sole discretion, that you are violating this policy it may take any action it deems necessary, which may
