Frequently Asked Questions

What is 'Lease before Own'

Lease-Before-Own allows buyers to pay for their domain in monthly installments over an agreed period. You can choose a payment schedule to suit both parties instead of paying for a domain in a one-off, up-front fee. These lower monthly payments make domains more affordable for the buyer and open up a wider pool of potential buyers for the seller.

How exactly does 'Lease Before Own' work?

Lease-Before-Own allows buyers to pay for their domain in installments of between 2 and 60 months. Buyers and sellers agree on the term length and then we will automatically divide the cost of the domain (and any applicable fees) over the selected term. We hold the domain in escrow and buyers can use the domain throughout the lease period. Once the domain has been paid for in full, we will officially transfer the domain to the buyer.

Can all my domains be listed as 'Lease before Own'?

All domains with a minimal 'Buy Now' price of 200(€), or any other equivalent matching this are eligible for 'Lease before Own'.

What will happen if the buyer stops payments?

The Rentee can cancel a Rental Agreement by notifying the Third Party provider or by not paying the Rental Price before the payment deadline.

If the Rentee fails and/or neglects to carry out the terms as set out in this agreement, the Rentor may terminate this agreement immediately without prior notice.

After 7 consecutive business days of non-payment, the contract is automatically terminated, with no reimbursements.
