Flippa is a leading online marketplace where users can buy and sell digital assets, including websites, domain names, mobile apps, and online businesses. By using the Flippa platform, users agree to a set of rules and responsibilities that govern their behavior and participation in transactions.
User Eligibility and Account Use
Flippa requires users to be at least 18 years old. Creating an account on the platform means the user agrees to maintain the confidentiality of login credentials and assumes responsibility for any activity conducted through their account.
Users must provide accurate and truthful information during registration and while interacting on the platform. Flippa is not responsible for losses resulting from unauthorized account access.
Ownership and Transactions
Users are responsible for ensuring they have legal ownership of any asset they list for sale. Ownership of some assets, such as digital goods or domains, may be tracked via blockchain technology. Flippa does not verify ownership automatically and recommends conducting due diligence before finalizing any transaction.
Before completing a purchase or sale, both parties are encouraged to enter into a formal sales agreement that outlines transaction terms, responsibilities, and asset details. Flippa provides tools to facilitate this process but does not guarantee legal enforcement.
Marketplace Rules and Acceptable Use
Flippa grants users a limited, non-transferable right to access and use the platform for personal purposes, such as listing or purchasing digital assets. Commercial or unauthorized uses, such as using bots or harvesting data, are prohibited.
The following activities are not allowed:
Posting false or misleading listings
Attempting to manipulate bidding
Violating any intellectual property rights
Attempting to disrupt the service or access backend systems
Engaging in fraudulent transactions
Flippa reserves the right to remove listings or suspend accounts that violate these rules.
Payments, Fees, and Refund Policy
Listing assets on Flippa may incur a non-refundable fee. In addition, Flippa charges a success fee or commission upon the completion of a sale, which varies depending on the asset value and the listing package selected.
Payment processing may be handled by third-party services. Users are responsible for understanding applicable fees before initiating any transaction.
Refunds are generally not offered unless required by law. It is recommended that users fully understand the listing terms before proceeding with a purchase.
Dispute Handling
Flippa provides a mechanism for resolving disputes between buyers and sellers. In case of a disagreement, users can contact support with evidence to support their claims.
Having a signed sales agreement significantly improves the chances of a fair resolution, as it provides a written record of the expectations and conditions agreed upon by both parties.
However, Flippa is not obligated to resolve disputes and may decline involvement in certain cases. Users are ultimately responsible for protecting their own interests during a transaction.
Modifications to Terms
Flippa may update its Terms of Service at any time without prior notice. Continued use of the platform after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
Users are encouraged to review the terms regularly to remain informed about their rights and obligations.
