Brokerage Agreement
Version 2026-06-v1-draft
Draft — pending legal review. This agreement is provided for review and is subject to change before it becomes binding.
1. Appointment & scope
You appoint Premium Domains — a registered business name (RBN 671015) of Soma Marketing Ltd, a company registered in Ireland (CRO no. 523946) — as your broker to either acquire (buy-side) or find a buyer for (sell-side) the specific domain named in your engagement.
2. Success fee
Our fee is 15% of the completed purchase or sale price, plus VAT where chargeable. It is payable only on completion. If no deal completes, nothing is owed.
3. Settlement
Deals of €10,000 or more settle through a third-party escrow agent that holds both the funds and the domain and runs the transfer, with our fee deducted at closing. Below €10,000 escrow is recommended; direct transfer is available only by mutual agreement. Premium Domains never holds the purchase funds, and the domain is released to the buyer only after funds are confirmed received.
4. Who pays
On a sell-side engagement our fee is taken from the seller's proceeds; on a buy-side engagement it is charged to the buyer. Escrow fees are allocated as set out in your engagement.
5. Confidentiality & anonymity
Both parties' identities are withheld from each other throughout negotiation and settlement. Neither party may attempt to identify or contact the other directly, and both consent to the escrow agent handling the transfer so identities are not exposed.
6. No guarantee
We do not warrant that any purchase or sale will complete.
7. Client warranties
Sell-side: you warrant that you own or control the domain and may sell it. Buy-side: you warrant that you have the funds to complete.
8. Exclusivity & term
The engagement runs for the agreed period and may be renewed or terminated as set out here.
9. Cancellation & disengagement
You may cancel free of charge before work begins, and (if you are a consumer) within your 14-day cooling-off period unless work has begun with your express consent. A cost-based fee of €200 + VAT applies to mid-engagement cancellation. If a deal we introduced completes — directly or indirectly — within 6 months of cancellation, our full 15% fee remains due.
10. Conflict of interest
We disclose any case in which Premium Domains has its own interest.
11. Liability
Our liability is limited and excludes indirect loss, to the extent permitted by law.
12. Anti-money-laundering
We may carry out identity and source-of-funds checks, particularly on higher-value deals.
13. Data protection
We process your data in line with the privacy policy.
14. Governing law
This agreement is governed by Irish law and the Irish courts.
