Terms of Service.

Welcome to rarehandle.co ("we," "us," "our," or the "Service"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our website, services, and any related communications.

By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our Service.

We are operated by HandlesX LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, with registered address at 1521 Concord Pike, Wilmington, Delaware, 19803, United States of America. Contact: info@rarehandle.co.

We provide intermediation and marketplace services for the acquisition of premium social media usernames ("handles" or "the Asset"). Specifically, we:

• Connect prospective buyers with sellers of premium social media usernames
• Curate a catalog of handles sourced from verified third-party sellers
• Facilitate negotiation, transfer logistics, and escrow services between parties
• Provide consultation on handle acquisition strategy

We are not an automated transactional platform. Every transaction is managed individually, and final terms are agreed between the parties in writing before any transfer occurs.

We operate independently and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Meta Platforms, Inc., Instagram LLC, Alphabet Inc., Google LLC, or any other social media platform or technology company. All trademarks, service marks, and brand names referenced on our Service are the property of their respective owners and are used only for descriptive purposes.

Any reference to "IG" or other platform abbreviations on our Service refers exclusively to the general context of social media usernames and does not imply any partnership, endorsement, or official relationship with the underlying platforms.

To use our Service, you must:

• Be at least 18 years of age
• Have the legal capacity to enter binding agreements in your jurisdiction
• Use our Service for lawful purposes consistent with these Terms
• Not be a resident of any jurisdiction subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, including but not limited to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions
• Not be listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties (including OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals list)

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, at any time, at our sole discretion.

5.1 Marketplace Role

We act as an intermediary between buyers and sellers. We do not "sell" handles ourselves; we facilitate transactions between consenting parties.

5.2 Platform Terms of Service

The transfer of social media usernames is subject to the terms of service of the underlying platforms. These terms vary by platform and may restrict or prohibit certain types of account transfers. Clients acknowledge that handle transfers may not always be permitted under platform terms, and that platforms reserve the right to suspend, recover, or modify usernames according to their own policies.

We make no representation, warranty, or guarantee regarding:

• The long-term retention of any handle by the buyer
• Compliance of the underlying transaction with third-party platform policies
• The absence of future enforcement action by any platform
• The performance, audience, or commercial outcomes associated with any handle

5.3 Verification and Handover

We perform reasonable verification of seller ownership and handle status before facilitating any transaction. We provide secure handover procedures and offer third-party escrow services for transactions above USD 1,000.

5.4 Pricing

All prices are quoted in USD or EUR and are exclusive of any applicable taxes, transaction fees, or third-party costs unless explicitly stated. Final pricing is agreed in writing prior to transaction completion.

6.1 Accepted Methods

We accept payments via bank transfer (wire or ACH), supported cryptocurrencies (TON, USDT, BTC, ETH), and select card payment processors. Specific methods will be agreed per transaction.

6.2 Payment Timing

Payment is due before the transfer of any handle. We do not extend credit or operate on a deferred-payment basis.

6.3 Currency and Conversion

Cryptocurrency payments are calculated at the exchange rate at the time of invoice issuance, with a payment window of 24 hours. After this window, prices may be revalued.

7.1 General Policy

Due to the unique, non-fungible nature of the assets we broker, all completed transactions are final and non-refundable once the handle has been transferred to the buyer's control.

7.2 Pre-Transfer Cancellation

Buyers may cancel a confirmed inquiry before payment without penalty. After payment but before handle transfer, cancellation is at our discretion and may be subject to a service fee retention of up to 20% of the transaction value to cover sourcing and negotiation costs.

7.3 Disputes

If the handle delivered does not match the agreed specification, or if the transfer fails due to our fault, we will either re-execute the transfer or issue a full refund at our discretion. Disputes must be raised in writing within 7 days of transaction completion.

7.4 Force Majeure and Platform Actions

We are not responsible for refunds in cases where:

• The underlying platform suspends or recovers the handle after transfer
• The buyer's own account is suspended for unrelated reasons
• The handle becomes unavailable due to actions outside our control

By using our Service, you agree to:

• Provide accurate information during inquiries and transactions
• Use the acquired handle in compliance with applicable platform terms and local laws
• Not use our Service to acquire handles for the purpose of fraud, impersonation, harassment, or any unlawful activity
• Maintain confidentiality of the transaction details where requested
• Take immediate ownership control of acquired handles, including updating credentials and removing any seller-side recovery options

You may not use our Service to:

• Acquire handles that infringe on third-party trademarks or rights you do not hold
• Engage in or facilitate fraudulent, deceptive, or illegal activities
• Impersonate any person or entity
• Acquire handles for resale outside of permitted marketplace arrangements with us
• Circumvent any platform's terms of service in a manner that harms third parties
• Violate any applicable U.S. federal, state, or local laws, including but not limited to the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and applicable anti-money-laundering regulations

We reserve the right to refuse, suspend, or terminate any transaction at our discretion if we suspect violation of these provisions.

We treat all client information, transaction details, and communications as confidential. We do not publish testimonials, case studies, or transaction details without explicit written consent from the parties involved.

All content on our Service — including text, design, logos, and documentation — is owned by us or licensed to us, and is protected by applicable copyright and trademark laws under U.S. and international law. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without prior written permission.

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• Our total liability for any claim arising from your use of our Service is limited to the amount you paid us in connection with the specific transaction giving rise to the claim
• We are not liable for indirect, consequential, special, incidental, or punitive damages
• We are not liable for any loss of revenue, profits, business opportunities, or audience associated with any handle
• We are not liable for the actions, omissions, or policy decisions of any third-party platform

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU IN FULL.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless HandlesX LLC, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from:

• Your violation of these Terms
• Your misuse of any acquired handle
• Your violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property and privacy rights
• Your violation of any applicable law or regulation

We may suspend or terminate access to our Service at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or engaged in conduct harmful to us, our clients, or third parties.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

15.1 Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal proceeding, the parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute through good-faith negotiation by contacting info@rarehandle.co.

15.2 Binding Arbitration

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms that cannot be resolved informally shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The seat of arbitration shall be Wilmington, Delaware. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

15.3 Class Action Waiver

You agree to resolve disputes with us on an individual basis. You waive any right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or representative proceeding.

15.4 Exception

Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction in Delaware to prevent actual or threatened infringement of intellectual property rights.

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent version. Continued use of our Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
