Batteries.com Auction Announcement
The domain name, Batteries.com, will be sold at auction. Auction services will be provided by Brannans.com. Escrow services will be provided by Escrow.com.



1. Bidder Registration and Agreement
All interested parties must register for the auction at Escrow.com through the link provided at https://batteries.com/. All participants in the auction will need to have their identity verified to comply with US Anti Money Laundering and Combating Financial Terrorism laws . Participants will also be required to place a nominal $25,000 Good Faith Deposit with Escrow.com. The deposit will be non-refundable to the winning bidder, but all other deposits will be refunded to all other bidders once a winning bidder has been announced. Bids will not be accepted without the registration, deposit, and identity verification process. Once your registration is complete and Escrow.com has provided confirmation that the Good Faith Deposit has been provided, you will be able to place a bid online at Brannans.com to use the Services. By placing a bid, you are entering into a legally binding contract to purchase the domain name from the seller if you are the winning bidder.

2. Private Auction
A private, first-price, sealed-bid, reserve auction will start on February 25, 2020 at 12:00 PM EDT as set out in the Auction Announcement and registered bidders will be allowed to make a single, private bid online. Only one bid will be allowed per organization or individual. Bidders will not be able to see offers from any other participants. There will be no opportunity to increase a bid against other bidders as all bids are confidential and only one bid per bidder will be allowed. At 5:00 pm, Eastern Time of each day during the Private Auction, if a bidder places a bid at or over the confidential reserve price, then they will be the winning bidder. While the reserve price is confidential and will not be disclosed to any party, it will be held in trust at Escrow.com and all bids will be verified by Escrow.com as they come in. This ensures that anyone placing a bid at or over the reserve will be a winner. If multiple bidders place bids over the reserve price on the same day, the higher of the bids will be the winning bidder. If no bids are placed over the reserve price, the private auction continues, and all bids remain binding until the end of both private and public auctions. All private bids will remain confidential for the duration of the private auction and the public auction (if necessary). If no bids have been received that are over the reserve price the domain owners have the option to take the highest bid placed or to move forward with the public auction. There will not be a buy-now price for the private domain name. The winning bidder of the private auction will be responsible for their bid price plus a 15% buyer’s premium and all fees due to Escrow.com to secure the transaction (safeguarding both buyer and seller).

3. Public Auction
Due to circumstances beyond our control, the public auction has been postponed indefinately.

4. Private Auction Winner
This section no longer applicable.
