Terms of Use
Novanym Terms of Use
Last updated: [INSERT DATE]
1. Agreement to These Terms
These Terms of Use (“Terms” or “Agreement”) form a binding contract between you—the individual or legal entity that visits, browses, purchases, or offers domains (“User,” “Buyer,” “Seller”)—and BrandBucket, Inc. (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), the operator of Novanym.com (“Website”). By accessing or using any part of the Website you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to comply with these Terms and with our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference. If you do not accept the Terms and the Privacy Policy you must not use the Website. The Services described here are available only to persons who are eighteen years of age or older and who possess the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts. If you act on behalf of an organization you represent and warrant that you have full authority to bind that organization, and all references to “you” or “your” shall refer to the organization.
2. Changes to the Terms
We may modify these Terms at our sole discretion. Any revision becomes effective immediately once it is posted on the Website and applies to every access or use that occurs after posting. Your continued use of the Website following any change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms; therefore you should review this page periodically to stay informed.
3. Our Role and Services
Novanym showcases carefully curated brandable domain names, but every transaction—including escrow, payment processing, and domain transfer—is handled exclusively through BrandBucket’s marketplace. If you wish to list a domain you must submit it through BrandBucket.com, pay any applicable submission fee, and abide by BrandBucket’s listing criteria. Novanym does not accept direct listings and is never a legal party to the sale contract. When a Buyer completes payment, BrandBucket holds the funds in escrow, requests that the Seller release the domain to the Company’s holding account, and then transfers the name to the registrar chosen by the Buyer. Title passes to the Buyer once the transfer is complete. The Website, its content, and the underlying services are provided strictly on an “as-is” and “as-available” basis; we make no guarantee that any domain will meet your needs or that any function of the Website will remain uninterrupted or free of errors.
4. Accounts and Security
Access to certain features may require you to create an account. All information you submit must be current, complete, and accurate. You are responsible for safeguarding your username, password, and any other credentials, and you are fully liable for all activities conducted through your account. If you suspect unauthorized use you must notify us immediately. We may suspend or terminate credentials at any time if we believe a violation of these Terms has occurred or if your conduct exposes us to liability.
5. Buyer Terms
When you place an order through BrandBucket you make an offer to purchase the specified domain at the listed price plus any applicable taxes. We may accept or reject any offer at our discretion. Payment is due immediately and is held in escrow until the Seller releases the domain. If you decide to cancel within twenty-four hours and before the transfer process begins, we will refund your payment minus a five-percent cancellation fee to cover processing costs. If the Seller fails to release the domain within ten business days after payment clears, we will cancel the transaction and refund one hundred percent of the purchase price with no fee. You alone are responsible for performing trademark searches and any other due-diligence before purchasing.
6. Seller Terms
To list a domain you must submit it through BrandBucket.com, pay a non-refundable submission fee of one US dollar per name, and agree that BrandBucket will act as the exclusive broker during the listing period. Upon acceptance you must maintain the domain’s DNS settings as instructed for verification and promptly transfer the name to BrandBucket’s holding account once a sale is made. Commission is deducted from the gross sale price according to the scale published on BrandBucket.com; the remaining in-pocket amount is released to the payout method linked to your seller account five days after the transfer is confirmed. While the domain is listed you must not offer or promote it on any competing marketplace or solicit off-platform sales. Failure to comply may result in delisting, forfeiture of fees, or termination of your seller privileges.
7. Intellectual-Property Rights
All content on the Website—including text, graphics, software, design, and arrangement—is owned by the Company or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws. “Novanym,” “BrandBucket,” and related logos are trademarks of the Company. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any part of the Website except as expressly permitted by these Terms or by written consent from the Company. Ownership of a purchased domain does not include ownership of the Novanym or BrandBucket trademarks.
8. Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to use the Website for any unlawful purpose, not to infringe the intellectual-property rights of others, not to interfere with the Website’s operation, and not to introduce malicious code. You must not attempt to bypass our escrow process, solicit direct payment outside the platform, or otherwise manipulate our fee structure. We reserve the right to investigate and to take legal or technical action against any misuse.
9. Monitoring, Suspension, and Termination
We may monitor activity on the Website, remove content, suspend accounts, or terminate access whenever we believe that a violation of these Terms, fraudulent behavior, or other harmful activity has occurred. Suspension or termination does not affect any existing obligations that arose before the enforcement action. We are not liable to you or to any third party for any loss of access resulting from such actions.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
Your use of the Website and of any domain obtained through it is entirely at your own risk. The Website and the Services are provided without any warranty of any kind, whether express, statutory, or implied, including, but not limited to, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted availability.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company’s total cumulative liability for any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or to the use of the Website shall not exceed the amount you actually paid to the Company for the transaction giving rise to the claim. We will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claim, demand, loss, or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to your use of the Website, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party right.
13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms and any dispute arising between you and the Company are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Wilmington, Delaware, and waive any objection to venue. The Company may elect to require that any dispute be resolved through binding arbitration conducted under the rules of the American Arbitration Association in Wilmington, Delaware. Any claim must be commenced within one year after it arises.
14. Entire Agreement; Severability; Waiver
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Website and supersede all prior understandings. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force. No waiver of any term shall be deemed a further waiver of that term or of any other term.

Alleged copyright infringements should be reported in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to the same address with “DMCA Notice” in the subject line.
