Terms & Conditions

Last updated: April 2026

1. Definitions and Status

"Seller", "we", "us" or "our" refers to Coaley Peak® Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number: 11783676; registered office: The Limes, Bayshill Road, Cheltenham, GL50 3AW), trading on this website as Acquisition.co.uk. "Buyer", "you" or "your" refers to any individual or entity purchasing, enquiring about, or making an offer on a domain name through this website. "Domain" refers to any .co.uk, .uk, .org.uk, .me.uk or .ltd.uk domain name listed for sale on this website. "Sale Agreement" refers to a binding written agreement between the Seller and Buyer for the transfer of a specified domain name at an agreed price.

Business and professional buyers only. The website is intended for use by businesses and professional buyers acting in the course of a business. The Buyer warrants and confirms that, in entering into a Sale Agreement, they are acting in the course of a business or profession and not as a "consumer" within the meaning of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. The Seller reserves the right to decline any enquiry from a person acting as a consumer.

2. Nature of Listings

All domain names listed on this website are displayed as invitations to treat only and do not constitute binding offers for sale. The listing of a domain name at a stated price is an asking price only and does not obligate the Seller to sell at that price or at all.

No binding contract for sale arises until a Sale Agreement has been executed by both parties in writing. For the avoidance of doubt:

  • An enquiry or expression of interest does not create any obligation on either party;
  • An offer submitted by the Buyer, whether at asking price or otherwise, does not bind the Seller;
  • Any price quoted by the Seller, whether on this website, by email, or by any other means, is valid for seven (7) calendar days from the date of issue unless expressly stated otherwise. After this period, the Seller reserves the right to amend the price without notice;
  • No sale is final until the Buyer has made payment in full and such payment has cleared.

We reserve the right to withdraw any domain from sale, amend any asking price, decline any offer, or cease negotiations at our sole discretion and without notice or liability.

3. Domain Ownership and Title

We warrant that at the time of any completed sale, we are the registrant of record of the domain name or have full authority from the registrant to effect its transfer. Upon receipt of cleared funds and execution of the transfer, all right, title and interest in the domain name shall pass to the Buyer.

4. Trademark Disclaimer and Buyer's Due Diligence

All domain names offered for sale through this website are, to the best of our knowledge and belief, generic, descriptive or common-use terms. We do not knowingly deal in domain names that incorporate third-party trademarks.

However, the Seller makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee whatsoever, express or implied, that any domain name:

  • Is free from third-party intellectual property claims, including but not limited to registered trademarks, unregistered trademarks, passing-off rights, or any other proprietary rights;
  • Will not be the subject of a Nominet DRS complaint, UDRP proceeding, or any other dispute resolution or legal action;
  • Is suitable or lawful for the Buyer's intended use in any jurisdiction.

It is the Buyer's sole and exclusive responsibility to:

  1. Conduct comprehensive trademark searches (including registered and unregistered marks) in all relevant jurisdictions prior to purchase;
  2. Assess the risk of passing-off claims and review relevant Nominet DRS and UDRP precedent;
  3. Satisfy themselves that acquisition and use of the domain name will not infringe any third-party rights;
  4. Obtain independent legal advice if there is any doubt as to potential conflicts;
  5. Carry out any other enquiries or due diligence the Buyer considers necessary or appropriate.

The Seller, Coaley Peak® Ltd, its directors, officers, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any claim, loss, damage, cost, or expense (including legal fees) arising directly or indirectly from any third-party intellectual property claim, dispute, or proceeding relating to a domain name sold through this website. The Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Coaley Peak® Ltd and its directors, officers, employees, and agents against any such claims.

5. Purchase Process

  1. Enquiry: The Buyer submits an enquiry or offer via the website or email. This does not create any binding obligation.
  2. Negotiation: The parties may negotiate on price and terms. Any price quoted is valid for seven (7) calendar days unless stated otherwise. Negotiations do not bind either party.
  3. Agreement: A sale is only agreed when both parties have confirmed in writing (including email) the domain name, the purchase price, and the transfer terms.
  4. Payment: The Buyer remits the agreed purchase price by the agreed method (bank transfer, card, or escrow service). No sale is final until payment has been received and cleared in full. For transactions exceeding £10,000, either party may request the use of a reputable escrow service, the fees for which shall be agreed between the parties.
  5. Transfer: Upon receipt and clearance of funds, the Seller shall initiate the domain transfer by releasing the IPS tag to the Buyer's nominated registrar. The Buyer must provide a valid Nominet-accredited registrar tag.

6. Payment Terms

Payment must be received in full in pounds sterling (GBP) unless otherwise agreed in writing. VAT will be charged where applicable at the prevailing rate. The Seller will provide a VAT invoice upon request.

No sale is complete, and no transfer will be initiated, until payment has been received and cleared in full. The Seller shall not be liable for any delay in transfer caused by payment processing times.

7. Transfer of Domain

Domain transfers are effected via the Nominet IPS tag system. The Seller will initiate the tag change within two (2) business days of receiving cleared funds. While .co.uk and .uk domain transfers typically complete within hours, the Seller does not guarantee any specific transfer timescale as this is dependent on Nominet and the receiving registrar's processes.

Risk in the domain name passes to the Buyer at the point the IPS tag change is completed by Nominet.

8. Refunds and Cancellations

Due to the unique, non-fungible nature of domain names, all sales are final and non-refundable once the domain transfer has been initiated. No refunds, exchanges, credits, or compensation of any kind will be issued after the IPS tag has been changed or the domain has otherwise been transferred to a registrar nominated by the Buyer.

If the domain transfer has not yet been initiated, the Buyer may request cancellation. Any such cancellation, and the issue of any refund, is entirely at the Seller's sole and absolute discretion. Where the Seller, in its discretion, agrees to a cancellation, an administrative and processing fee of up to 25% of the purchase price (with a minimum of £150) shall be deducted from any refund, together with any third-party fees (including without limitation card processing, escrow, and registrar fees) that have been incurred.

The Buyer waives any right of withdrawal or cooling-off period that might otherwise apply (insofar as such waiver is permitted by law) on the basis that domain names are bespoke digital content supplied at the Buyer's request.

8a. Time-Limited Offers and Validity

Any offer, indicative price, or quotation given by the Seller (whether on this website, by email, verbally, or by any other means) shall lapse automatically if not accepted in writing by the Buyer within seven (7) calendar days of the date of issue, or such shorter period as the Seller may specify. Acceptance after lapse shall have no effect and the Seller shall be free to amend or withdraw the offer without liability.

9. Limitation of Liability

The provisions of this clause 9 shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and shall survive termination or completion of any Sale Agreement:

  1. Aggregate cap. The total aggregate liability of the Seller (Coaley Peak® Ltd) and its directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates, in respect of any and all claims, however arising, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, misrepresentation, restitution, or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with these Terms, any Sale Agreement, any domain name, or use of this website, shall not exceed the lower of (i) the purchase price actually paid by the Buyer for the relevant domain name; and (ii) £100 (one hundred pounds sterling) in respect of any matter not connected with a completed sale.
  2. Excluded losses. The Seller shall have no liability whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, for any of the following types of loss, even if foreseeable and even if the Seller has been advised of the possibility of such loss: loss of profit; loss of revenue; loss of business; loss of contracts; loss of opportunity; loss of goodwill or reputation; loss of anticipated savings; loss of use; loss of data; loss of investment; cost of substitute goods or services; or any indirect, consequential, special, incidental, exemplary or punitive losses, damages, costs or expenses of any kind.
  3. No commercial warranties. The Seller makes no warranties or representations whatsoever, express or implied, regarding the commercial value, search engine ranking, organic or paid traffic levels, revenue potential, type-in traffic, backlink profile, domain authority, brand goodwill, prior use, or suitability of any domain name for any particular purpose. Any historical data, statistics, or assessments mentioned by the Seller are illustrative only and do not constitute warranties.
  4. Buyer due diligence. The Seller shall not be liable for any loss arising from the Buyer's failure to conduct adequate due diligence (including without limitation registered and unregistered trademark searches, passing-off risk assessment, and review of Nominet DRS / ICANN UDRP precedent) prior to purchase.
  5. Third-party services. The Seller shall not be liable for any acts, omissions, errors, delays or failures of Nominet, any registrar, escrow service, payment processor, courier, or other third party involved in any transaction, including any consequent delay in or failure of transfer.
  6. Force majeure. The Seller shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, pandemic, cyber-attack, internet outage, registry or registrar failure, regulatory action, or industrial action.
  7. Mandatory carve-outs. Nothing in these Terms shall exclude or limit liability for: (i) death or personal injury caused by the Seller's negligence; (ii) the Seller's fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (iii) any other liability which cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

10. Indemnification

The Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Coaley Peak® Ltd, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with:

  1. The Buyer's use of any domain name purchased through this website;
  2. Any third-party claim that the domain name infringes intellectual property rights;
  3. Any breach by the Buyer of these Terms;
  4. Any breach by the Buyer of applicable law or regulation in connection with the domain name.

11. Buyer's Warranties

By purchasing a domain name, the Buyer warrants and represents that:

  1. They are at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract;
  2. They are acting in the course of a business or profession and not as a consumer;
  3. The information provided during the purchase process is accurate, complete, and not misleading;
  4. They will use the domain name in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and Nominet's terms and conditions;
  5. They have conducted their own independent due diligence regarding the domain name, including trademark searches in all relevant jurisdictions, and are satisfied with the results;
  6. They are not relying on any representation or statement made by the Seller other than those expressly set out in the Sale Agreement;
  7. The funds used for the purchase are from legitimate sources and that the transaction does not violate any anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing, or sanctions legislation, including the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018, and any UK or international financial sanctions in force from time to time.

11a. Anti-Money Laundering and Sanctions

Coaley Peak® Ltd reserves the right, at its sole discretion and in particular in respect of higher-value transactions, to require the Buyer to provide identification documents, evidence of source of funds, and such other information as it reasonably considers necessary to satisfy itself as to the lawful nature of the transaction. Coaley Peak® Ltd may decline to proceed with, or may withdraw from, any transaction where it is not satisfied as to the identity of the Buyer or the source of funds, without liability and without giving reasons. Coaley Peak® Ltd may also be obliged to make disclosures to law enforcement or regulatory authorities in accordance with applicable law and shall not be liable for any loss arising from such disclosures.

11b. Domain Submissions from Sellers

This clause 11b applies where any person ("the Submitter") submits a domain name, portfolio, or business for the consideration of Coaley Peak® Ltd, whether via the website (including the /sell page), by email, or by any other means.

  1. Owners only; no brokers. Coaley Peak® Ltd deals exclusively and directly with the registered owner of the relevant domain (or a duly authorised director or officer of the legal entity that owns it). The Submitter warrants that they are such registered owner or authorised representative and are not acting as a broker, agent, finder, intermediary, scout, sourcer, or representative of any third party. Coaley Peak® Ltd will not pay any broker fee, commission, finder's fee, success fee, introducer fee, or other consideration of any kind to any third party in respect of any submission, and the Submitter shall indemnify Coaley Peak® Ltd against any such claim by any third party.
  2. Submitter warranties. The Submitter further warrants that, in respect of each domain submitted: (i) the Submitter (or the legal entity on whose behalf they are duly authorised to act) is the sole registered owner; (ii) the domain is free from any charge, lien, encumbrance, option, right of first refusal, or other third-party right; (iii) to the Submitter's knowledge, the domain is generic in nature and does not incorporate any third-party trademark; (iv) the domain is not the subject of any pending or threatened Nominet DRS, ICANN UDRP, court, arbitral, or other proceedings; and (v) the domain has not been used for spam, malware distribution, phishing, defamation, or any unlawful purpose.
  3. No obligation to respond, offer, or proceed. Coaley Peak® Ltd is under no obligation to respond to any submission, to make an offer, to enter negotiations, or to proceed to completion. Submissions may be rejected without explanation. Coaley Peak® Ltd may, at its sole discretion, retain submission information for future consideration.
  4. Indicative valuations are non-binding. Any valuation, indicative price, or expression of interest communicated by Coaley Peak® Ltd in response to a submission is non-binding, given without warranty as to accuracy, and may be revised or withdrawn at any time. No contract for sale arises until a written sale agreement is signed by authorised representatives of both parties.
  5. Offers require a signed director's offer letter. No offer to purchase is made by Coaley Peak® Ltd, and no statement shall be capable of acceptance as an offer, unless and until it is set out in an official offer letter signed by a director of Coaley Peak® Ltd. There are no exceptions. No valuation, indicative figure, email, message, verbal statement, conversation, or other communication of any kind, whether on this website or otherwise, constitutes or may be relied upon as an offer.
  6. Use of submission information. By making a submission, the Submitter grants Coaley Peak® Ltd a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use the information provided for the purpose of evaluating the submission, including making such enquiries (e.g. WHOIS lookups, registry checks, market comparables) as Coaley Peak® Ltd considers appropriate. Coaley Peak® Ltd will use reasonable endeavours to keep submitted information confidential but accepts no liability for inadvertent disclosure.
  7. Submitter indemnity. The Submitter shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Coaley Peak® Ltd, its directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates against all claims, losses, costs (including reasonable legal fees) and liabilities arising out of or in connection with: (i) any breach of the warranties in this clause; (ii) any claim by a third party that the Submitter was not entitled to make the submission or to enter into a sale; (iii) any third-party intellectual property claim relating to a submitted domain; or (iv) any broker, agent, finder, or intermediary claim for fees or commission.
  8. No obligation to keep secret post-rejection. Where a submission is rejected, Coaley Peak® Ltd is under no obligation to refrain from acquiring the same or any similar domain from any other person, whether directly, through an intermediary, at auction, or otherwise. Coaley Peak® Ltd's prior or independent knowledge of any domain or category of domains is expressly preserved.

11c. Cooperation and Specific Performance

Where a Sale Agreement has been entered into, the Buyer shall do all such acts and things and execute all such documents as Coaley Peak® Ltd may reasonably require to effect or perfect the transfer of the domain name, including providing a valid Nominet-accredited registrar tag, signing any forms required by Nominet, and providing such identification information as may be requested. The Buyer acknowledges that damages alone may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the Sale Agreement and that Coaley Peak® Ltd shall be entitled to seek the remedies of specific performance and injunctive relief in addition to damages.

11d. Set-Off

Coaley Peak® Ltd may, without notice, set off any liability of the Buyer or Submitter to Coaley Peak® Ltd against any liability of Coaley Peak® Ltd to the Buyer or Submitter, whether either liability is present or future, liquidated or unliquidated, and whether or not either liability arises under these Terms. Any exercise by Coaley Peak® Ltd of its rights under this clause shall not limit or affect any other rights or remedies available to it.

11e. Assignment and Sub-contracting

Coaley Peak® Ltd may at any time, without consent, assign, transfer, mortgage, charge, sub-contract, or deal in any other manner with all or any of its rights or obligations under these Terms or any Sale Agreement. The Buyer or Submitter may not, without the prior written consent of Coaley Peak® Ltd, assign, transfer, mortgage, charge, declare a trust over or deal in any other manner with any or all of its rights or obligations.

11f. Waiver

No failure or delay by Coaley Peak® Ltd in exercising any right, power or privilege under these Terms shall operate as a waiver of that right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise preclude any further exercise. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorised representative of Coaley Peak® Ltd.

11g. Notices

Any notice to Coaley Peak® Ltd shall be given in writing to acquisition@coaleypeak.co.uk and shall be deemed received only upon written acknowledgement by Coaley Peak® Ltd. Notices to the Buyer or Submitter may be sent to the email address most recently provided by them and shall be deemed received 24 hours after sending.

12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any Sale Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in connection with these Terms (including any non-contractual dispute or claim) shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

The Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 shall not apply to these Terms or any Sale Agreement, save that the Seller's directors, officers, employees and agents may enforce any limitation or exclusion of liability or indemnity provided for their benefit.

Where, notwithstanding clause 1 of these Terms, a Buyer is found to be acting as a consumer, nothing in these Terms shall exclude or limit any rights that cannot be excluded or limited by applicable mandatory consumer protection legislation, including the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

13. Data Protection

Personal data collected during the enquiry and purchase process will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection legislation, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

14. Amendments

We reserve the right to amend these Terms at any time. The version in effect at the time a Sale Agreement is entered into shall govern that transaction. Material changes will be indicated by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
