AUCTION TERMS

Start: 12 April 2013 at 3:00 pm BST (British Summer Time / London)
Ending: 19 April 2013 at 3:00 pm BST plus final bidding phase (see details below)

You have to follow 3 simple steps to make a bid (in less than 3 minutes):

Open an account at Teltalk.
OR
Open a new account at Teltalk if you have already one and want to stay anonymous.
To prevent any manipulation of this auction please publish your .tel in your profile or signature, so I’ll be able to verify internally that you have serious interest.
OR
Send me a private message with your .tel if you want to stay anonymous. Nobody besides me will ever know who you are.

Step 2 has to be completed until 18 April 2013 (on the last day before the auction ends) to give you the allowance for taking part in the auction. This step is necessary to avoid fun-bidders, because I don’t want that the sale of this forum will fail.
Place your bid in this topic only in € (Euro) with a minimum of 20 € for the first bid.

Please place only an amount in your post directly in this topic without any additional comments. A posted number represents a Euro amount and must be higher than the previous bid. Invalid bids (wrong currencies, bids not higher than the previous bid and bids from fun-bidders) and further comments will be deleted in this topic. Feel free to discuss the auction here: http://www.teltalk.org/t1105-sale-domain-teltalkorg

Final bidding phase:

This auction will go into the final bidding phase on 19 April 2013 at 3:00 pm BST. When this time is reached, the last bid before 3:01 pm BST and every further bid will extend the auction for 15 more minutes (added to the timestamp of the previous bid). The last bid without another bid following within 15 minutes will automatically end the auction! If a bid will be made after 3:00 pm BST and later than 15 minutes after the previous bid, it won't be considered anymore. If no bid will be made after 2:45 pm BST and before 3:01 pm BST, the auction will end without final bidding phase at 3:00 pm BST.

The auction will end either on 19 April 2013 at 3:00 pm BST (at the earliest) or in the case of late bids exactly 15 minutes after the last bid (from all valid bids made in time as described).

This is what the winner of this auction will get:

The domain name Teltalk.org
A Tel forum with all active Tel community members
The best known forum for Tel worldwide
A large audience; see details here: http://www.teltalk.org/t1105-sale-domain-teltalkorg
The integrated Teltalk blog http://blog.teltalk.org
The Twitter account http://twitter.com/teltalk
The full freedom to do with these resources whatever the buyer wants.
Whois privacy protection and confidentiality for all personal data (Only the sales price of this auction will be public here until the buyer will delete it.)
Excellent search engine results for all Tel related topics; see this example:

After the auction:

Purchase: Every bid is binding. The highest valid bid will win the auction. By the ending of this auction a legally binding contract arose between the highest bidder and the seller of the domain Teltalk.org. The terms of this contract are the details described in this topic post entirely. If you win the auction, you are obligated to pay the amount of your highest bid without any deduction within 72 hours after the auction ended. If you don’t have enough money available, please don’t place your bid.

Payment: The payment will go through the escrow service from TransPact to ensure that the buyer will get the domain and the seller will get the payment without complications. Read the conditions here: http://transpact.com (3.49 € fee for the buyer and 3.49 € fee for the seller).

Domain transfer: After I get the notification from TransPact that the payment is in processing, I will push the domain into the account of the buyer at http://name.com within 24 hours. If you don’t have an account at name.com, you can open one for free easily. If the buyer wants to administrate the domain at another registrar, he will get the transfer code from me instead. In this case the buyer has to pay a transfer fee to his provider that will extend the expiration period for the domain another year. (The amount depends on the chosen registrar.) The domain and the whois privacy protection are paid until 16 April 2014. That means the buyer won’t have any further costs for almost a whole year as long he keeps the domain at name.com.

Confidentiality: The names and data of the contractual partners will stay confidential. The buyer is not allowed to reveal the name and any data of the seller to anybody or use it for any other purposes than the processing of this purchase agreement. The same rule applies for the seller. I'm not allowed to reveal the name and any data of the buyer to anybody or use it for any other purposes than this transaction.

In case of an unsuccessful auction: If this auction doesn’t receive any valid bids, this forum will be closed directly after the auction ended. I will keep only the domain Teltalk.org then.

By placing your bid you agree with these terms!
