1. Welcome to DomainLiq
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of DomainLiq ("Service", "Platform", "we", "us", or "our"), a domain marketplace platform. By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
2. Service Description
DomainLiq is a marketplace platform that:
- Allows sellers to list domains for sale
- Provides buyers with a browsing and search interface
- Supports payment attempts through Stripe (credit cards), USDC (cryptocurrency), Escrow.com, PayPal, and Wise
- Holds funds securely in escrow until domain transfer is confirmed (for Stripe and USDC checkouts)

USDC Cryptocurrency Payments
Flat 5% Platform Fee for all USDC payments, regardless of domain price.

4. Payment Processing
Credit Card Payments
Card payments are processed through Stripe. By using our Service:
- Buyer payments are held securely until transfer is confirmed
- Sellers must connect a Stripe account to receive card payments
- Payouts are processed to seller's Stripe account after buyer confirmation
- If buyer doesn't confirm within 7 days, funds auto-release to seller
USDC Cryptocurrency Payments
USDC payments are processed on the Polygon or Base blockchain network. By using our Service:
- Buyer sends USDC to DomainLiq's escrow wallet on Polygon or Base
- Sellers must provide a valid Polygon or Base wallet address to receive USDC
- USDC is held in escrow until buyer confirms domain receipt
- Upon confirmation, USDC (minus 5% fee) is sent to seller's wallet
- If buyer doesn't confirm within 7 days, USDC auto-releases to seller
- Important: We only accept USDC on the Polygon or Base network; USDC sent on other networks cannot be recovered
PayPal & Wise Direct Payments
PayPal and Wise transactions are direct, peer-to-peer transfers. By utilizing these payment options:
- DomainLiq does not hold or manage the transaction funds in any escrow capacity.
- All payment attempts are made directly to the seller's configured PayPal email or Wise transfer tag.
- DomainLiq cannot issue refunds, reverse transactions, or resolve disputes arising from direct PayPal or Wise checkouts.
- Sellers must manually mark domains as "sold" after confirming receipt of funds in their accounts.
- Direct checkout links are only enabled for verified domains.
Escrow.com Transactions
Escrow.com checkouts are managed by Escrow.com (a third-party escrow provider). By using Escrow.com:
- The transaction is subject to Escrow.com's general terms, license agreements, and fees.
