This policy explains the public-facing principles that apply when Brecon Take Aways Limited, trading as Takeaway Scout™, invites enquiries about domain names that may be available for sale, lease or licence.
It applies whether an enquiry concerns one domain, several domains, a defined group of domains or the whole portfolio.
1. Enquiries Are Not Binding Transactions
A domain page, portfolio page, availability statement, price indication, valuation, advertisement, email discussion or invitation to enquire is not by itself a binding offer, sale, lease, reservation, option or promise of exclusivity. We may withdraw a domain from discussion before a binding written agreement is formed, subject to any rights already created by a signed agreement.
2. Separate Written Agreement Required
A domain sale is governed by a written Domain Name Sale & Assignment Agreement. A domain lease or licence is governed by a written Domain Name Lease & Licence Agreement. Bespoke transactions may use another written agreement expressly approved by Brecon Take Aways Limited.
The signed transaction agreement and its schedules prevail over this public policy if there is any inconsistency.
3. One Domain, Multiple Domains or the Whole Portfolio
For a single domain, the exact domain must be identified. For multiple domains or a portfolio transaction, the domains included must be identified in the signed transaction schedule or inventory. A statement such as “whole portfolio”, a website count or a marketing description is not a substitute for the agreed inventory.
Domains acquired after an agreed portfolio cut-off are excluded unless the signed agreement expressly adds them.
4. Sales
A sale transfers only the domain-registration rights expressly identified in the sale agreement. Completion is subject to the agreed payment and transfer conditions and the applicable registry and registrar procedures. No buyer should treat a domain as transferred until the agreed completion steps have occurred.
5. Leases and Licences
A lease or licence gives only the contractual right to use the specified domain during the agreed term and subject to the signed agreement. Unless expressly agreed otherwise, Brecon Take Aways Limited remains the owner/registrant or otherwise retains control of the domain. Lease payments do not create ownership, an automatic purchase option or a right to transfer the domain.
6. Registry and Registrar Rules
All domains remain subject to the rules, policies, verification procedures, dispute processes and technical requirements of the applicable registry and registrar. Transfers, changes of registrant, renewals and registrar changes can require additional steps outside our direct control.
7. What Is Not Included
Unless a signed agreement expressly says otherwise, buying or leasing a domain does not include or grant rights to the Takeaway Scout™ name, trade marks, logos, Scout Score methodology, rankings, reviews, databases, customer or merchant data, software, source code, social-media accounts, email accounts, telephone numbers, website content, hosting, business contracts, goodwill or other assets of Brecon Take Aways Limited.
8. No Commercial Performance Guarantee
We do not guarantee that a domain will produce website traffic, search-engine rankings, enquiries, customers, revenue, profit, advertising income, resale value or any other commercial result. Prospective buyers and lessees should carry out their own legal, technical, intellectual-property, tax and commercial due diligence.
9. Trade Marks and Third-Party Rights
Ownership or use of a domain name does not itself establish a right to use words contained in that domain as a trade mark or business identity. Buyers and lessees are responsible for assessing their proposed use and any third-party rights.
10. Pricing, VAT, Deposits and Costs
Price, lease fee, VAT treatment, deposits, payment dates, renewal-cost allocation, escrow and third-party transfer costs are determined by the specific written transaction agreement. No general website price overrides a later signed transaction schedule.
11. Due Diligence and Verification
We may request information reasonably required to verify identity, company authority, payment, fraud risk, source of funds or compliance before proceeding. We may decline or pause a proposed transaction where reasonably necessary for legal, security or fraud-prevention reasons.
12. Personal Information
Personal information supplied during an enquiry or transaction is handled under our Privacy Policy. Information may need to be provided to registrars, registries, payment or escrow providers, professional advisers or technical providers where reasonably necessary to progress or complete a transaction.
13. Complaints and Contractual Disputes
General domain enquiries or complaints may be sent to admin@takeawayscout.co.uk. Once a specific transaction agreement is signed, its notice, default, termination, liability, governing-law and dispute provisions apply to that transaction.
14. Takeaway Scout Platform Independence
Buying or leasing a domain does not buy a higher Scout Score, better organic ranking, positive reviews, preferential moderation or special treatment for any takeaway business on Takeaway Scout™.
15. Changes to This Policy
We may update this public policy as our domain portfolio, transaction process, registry requirements or legal obligations develop. Changes to this policy do not retrospectively vary a signed domain agreement.
