2.1.2. NumberBarn's Duties
Upon applying to NumberBarn's Seller's Brokerage Service, NumberBarn's Brokerage Department will review your application to ensure that you fulfill the requirements set forth by this section. Once the terms and conditions are accepted, NumberBarn will enable you to list your telephone number in its marketplace based upon the listed sales or license price entered within your vendor dashboard. Telephone numbers are not considered listed until selected for listing and assigned a selling/licensing price. NumberBarn recommends confirming accuracy of your listing through the marketplace by searching www.numberbarn.com/search for your specific listed telephone number.
NumberBarn's marketplace search functionality will allow for Seller's telephone numbers to be displayed and included in search results when matching number(s), keyword(s), and other filter methods as entered in by a user initiated search query.
2.1.2.1. Transactions:
- For each Telephone Number sale or license initiated through NumberBarn's marketplace, NumberBarn shall attempt to verify the buyer and their ability to pay the full listing price of the telephone number within NumberBarn's marketplace.
- For each Telephone Number sale or license initiated through the NumberBarn's marketplace, NumberBarn shall collect full listing price from buyer and any associated taxes that may apply.
- Seller may not change or in any way modify the activation fee or sales or license price of the Telephone Number once a sale or license has begun and is pending.
- If Seller attempts to cancel, terminate or interfere with a pending sale or license this will be considered a violation of these terms and conditions and grounds for cancelling Service.
- Once a sale or license has been initiated, the seller will no longer be able to port away or relicense the number from their NumberBarn account.
- Upon completion of a sale or license, the seller's telephone number will be transferred to the buyer's account. NumberBarn is in no way held responsible for unintended transactions, sales or license based upon listed sales/license prices. All transactions are final.
2.1.2.2. Seller Compensation:
- Ten days after the sale or license of a Telephone Number is completed, proceeds from the completed sale or license will be available for payout. Proceeds from the completed sale or license are determined from monies collected based on the listed sales/license price minus brokerage commission as stated within the vendor's dashboard.
- NumberBarn is not responsible to pay out proceeds if no funds were collected from the buyer, or if a chargeback was issued within the first 30 days.
- NumberBarn will seek to restore telephone numbers to the seller's account that have had their sale or license cancelled, chargebacks issued against a completed sale or license, or sales have been determined to be fraudulent. Seller assumes responsibility for fraudulent sales or license and ports and understands that NumberBarn attempts to verify buyers, but in no way guarantees payment for numbers that were fraudulently ported from NumberBarn's marketplace.
- All proceeds due to seller will be paid out via PayPal through the vendor dashboard.
- All proceeds due to seller are categorized as Cost of Goods sold and viewed as an expense to NumberBarn not a service rendered by the seller.
- Seller is responsible for chargebacks related to the completed sales or licensing of their Telephone Numbers. NumberBarn attempts to verify and prevent fraudulent transactions, but NumberBarn is not responsible to pay out funds or cover costs for chargebacks on stolen Telephone Numbers. Seller's account balances will be adjusted accordingly.
