CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most modern web browsers include a feature known as Do-Not-Track (DNT), which allows users to signal to websites and online services that they prefer not to have their online activities tracked across websites.

Currently, Stone Division Brokerage does not automatically alter or disable tracking solely based on a Do-Not-Track (DNT) browser setting because the DNT standard is voluntary and there is no industry-wide consensus or legally binding obligation for websites to honor DNT signals.Instead, we focus on:Providing clear information about the types of tracking we useOffering explicit options to control and manage cookies and tracking preferences through our cookie consent banners and privacy settingsRespecting opt-out requests where legally required by applicable privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)Managing Your Tracking Preferences

It is important to understand that the Do-Not-Track setting:Does not guarantee that tracking will be blocked or limited, as it depends on whether the websites and services you visit choose to honor the signalMay not prevent all forms of data collection, especially those necessary for core functionality or legally required disclosuresDoes not impact tracking that is strictly necessary to provide our services, such as authentication, security, and payment processingYour Privacy, Your Choice

As an alternative to purchasing a domain name outright, Stone Divsion Brokerage offers a lease-to-own service that allows a Buyer (in this case, a Lease) to lease the domain name over a period of time while making monthly installment payments until the price of the domain name is paid in full. After the lease term has expired and all monthly installment payments have been received, Lease will receive title and full ownership rights to the domain name. During the term of the lease, the domain name will remain in escrow, and Lease will have access to and the right to use the domain name for Lease’s website and email purposes.Lease agrees to pay all fees associated with the lease-to-own service, including setup and maintenance fees. All fees will be clearly displayed at the checkout point on the Website. By proceeding with the purchase of a Lease to Own Domain Name, the Lease agrees to pay all fees. Company will send Lease monthly invoices via email where Lease can view the balance on the lease, and opt to pay the lease term off early, thereby expediting the transfer of title of the domain name. If payment is not received within thirty (30) days of the date of invoice, Company reserves the right to cancel the lease and revoke access to the domain name. All payments to that point are forfeited and ineligible for refund.Leasers can terminate or cancel a lease at any time before the lease term ends.For domains name purchased via installment plans or by lease, no refund is offered on installments already paid. All payments made prior to the termination are forfeited and ineligible for refund.However you are allowed to cancel your future pending installment payments. If you cancel your future installment payments, the domain will not be transferred to you, and it will be listed back for sale on Stone Division Brokerage's platform.5.7 Lease to Own Delivery and TitleTitle passes to you upon receipt of the full payment of the Lease to Own price, and the transfer of the domain name to you has been completed.

Domain Name Refund Policy

Effective Date: June 22, 2025

1. Introduction
At Stone Division Brokerage, we offer curated domain names, brand names, and brand consulting through our proprietary marketplace and agency. Our domains are often part of larger creative branding strategies and are treated as intellectual assets.Because of the sensitive, high-value, and unique nature of domain names, our refund policy is structured to ensure fairness, protection of intellectual property, and prevention of transactional abuse. We advise all clients to thoroughly review this policy before entering any negotiation or agreement regarding domain or brand name purchases.2. Stages and Eligibility for a Refund
Refund eligibility is determined by the transaction’s current stage in the purchasing process. Below is a breakdown of each stage:2.1. Negotiation Stage
Buyers may withdraw from negotiations at any time, without explanation or penalty.However, we ask that all withdrawals be made in good faith and with professional courtesy.Excessive or disruptive withdrawal behavior will result in a permanent ban from Stone Division Brokerage’s platform, marketplace, and any affiliated sellers or agents.2.2. Contract Stage
Contracts are not binding purchase agreements in perpetuity.Their primary function is to:Protect the buyer’s financial interests.Establish a documented trail of negotiation.Legally prevent the theft or misuse of domain names.Withdrawal from the contract stage is permitted; however, Stone Division Brokerage reserves the right to require a written cancellation explanation.If escrow has not yet been initiated, full refunds are available.2.3. Escrow Stage
Once funds are transferred to escrow, the buyer retains full refund eligibility, provided the domain transfer has not yet begun.To initiate a refund, the buyer must contact both Stone Division Brokerage and the escrow provider before the transfer process is activated.Refunds at this stage are typically processed within 5–10 business days, depending on the escrow provider’s timeline.2.4. Initiation of Domain Name Transfer Stage
Refunds may still be possible before the final confirmation of the transfer, but the window is narrow and situational.If the domain name is in the process of being transferred (status: “pending transfer” or “transfer in progress”), a refund may still be possible depending on:Whether the seller has released the domain.Whether the domain registrar allows reversal at that point.Stone Division Brokerage will review refund requests on a case-by-case basis during this stage.2.5. Completed Domain Name Transfer Stage
Once the domain name has been successfully transferred to the buyer, all sales are final.Per the Buyer Agreement and General Terms and Conditions:The buyer waives all rights to:Request or pursue a refund.Engage in chargebacks.Initiate disputes through third-party platforms or processors.Initiate and proceed with lawsuits regarding a refund.Stone Division Brokerage reserves the right to refuse to communicate or participate in any refund dispute beyond this point.Ownership is now transferred, and intellectual property rights change hands only if full payment has been received. The completion of transfer constitutes full and final settlement of all claims and disputes.Disclaimer: By proceeding with the purchase and transfer process, you acknowledge and accept that the conclusion of transfer signifies the finalization of the transaction, and you waive your ability to initiate legal action or request a refund from Stone Division Brokerage.3. Other Nonrefundable Circumstances
3.1. Unauthorized Platforms
Stone Division Brokerage and its affiliated registrants do not authorize third-party platforms like NameJet, GoDaddy Auctions, or other marketplaces to sell its owned or brokered domains unless specifically stated in writing.If you purchase a domain name claiming to be listed by Stone Division Brokerage through an unverified platform:You accept all risks.Stone Division Brokerage will not honor any refund or service claim.You acknowledge and waive any expectation of support or legal remedy through our agency.3.2. Payments Outside of Escrow
Buyers are strictly prohibited from making payments for domain names outside of our official escrow system.If a buyer chooses to bypass our escrow service:They do so at their own risk.Stone Division Brokerage disclaims all responsibility for disputes, loss, fraud, or refund claims.The transaction is considered unauthorized and in violation of our Buyer Agreement.No refunds will be issued under any circumstances for these transactions.

4. Intellectual Property Rights
All domain names, brand names, and creative name assets generated for client branding projects are the intellectual property of Stone Division Brokerage or its affiliated creative agents until paid in full.Until full payment is received:The client waives all rights to register, use, trademark, or transfer these assets.The client also waives the right to register variants or close derivatives of those names in alternate extensions (e.g., .net, .org, .io, etc.).Unauthorized use or registration will be treated as intellectual property theft, and Stone Division Brokerage reserves the right to pursue legal action.Once payment is complete, full ownership and transfer of rights is granted as outlined in the purchase contract.5. Client Obligations
As a buyer on the Stone Division Brokerage platform, you agree to:Only submit payment through authorized channels (escrow or verified merchant links).Confirm that all purchases are intentional and not made under duress, confusion, or misinformation.Notify us immediately if you believe an error occurred in pricing, domain name spelling, registrar transfer details, or billing.Respect all communication and timeline expectations throughout the domain acquisition process.Not reverse-engineer, rebrand, or replicate any names you have been shown or pitched during the negotiation phase without payment.6. Changes to This Policy
Stone Division Brokerage reserves the right to modify or update this Domain/Brand Name Refund Policy at any time, without prior notice. All updates will be published on our website. Continued use of our services constitutes acceptance of the latest policy version.7. Limited Liability

Service Policy Refund

Effective Date: June 22, 2025

1. Introduction
At Stone Division Brokerage, we are deeply committed to delivering precise, impactful, and results-driven branding services. We understand that strategic branding is the foundation of sustained market success, and we hold ourselves to the highest standards of execution. Our goal is to eliminate the need for refunds through diligent planning, transparent communication, and exceptional service.We encourage all prospective clients to read and fully understand our Refund Policy before entering into a service agreement with us. During our complimentary consultation, we provide a comprehensive overview of your custom branding strategy to ensure that you are fully aware of what to expect from our collaboration.2. General Refund Policy
We offer a wide range of consulting, design, and digital brand development services, which are intellectual, creative, and strategic in nature. Due to the unique and non-replicable nature of our work, we generally do not offer refunds once a project has commenced.Instead of refunds, we are committed to unlimited reasonable revisions within the scope of the original agreement. We work closely with our clients to refine our deliverables until they meet the standards and objectives outlined at the start of the engagement.3. Service Commitment
Stone Division Brokerage pledges to:Provide clear documentation of project scope and deliverables.Offer expert consultation and creative direction.Maintain active communication throughout the project lifecycle.Make timely revisions aligned with agreed-upon goals.Respect project timelines and milestones as long as clients do the same.4. Limited Eligibility for Refunds
While we aim to avoid refund scenarios altogether, we acknowledge there are rare and exceptional cases where a refund may be granted. Refunds may be considered under the following circumstances:A. Cancellation Within 48 Hours
If a project is canceled by the client within 48 hours of payment and before any creative or strategic work has begun, a full refund may be issued.B. Service Non-Delivery
In the unlikely event that we fail to deliver services as agreed upon due to an error or failure within our control, we will offer remedies such as service credits, alternative deliverables, or—if warranted—a full or partial refund.C. Duplicate Payments
Any duplicate charges or overpayments will be promptly refunded after internal verification.To request a refund under these limited conditions, please email:
[email protected]5. Non-Refundable Circumstances
Exposure to Creative Materials: Once you have received or reviewed creative concepts or strategy outlines, we cannot guarantee protection from idea misuse. To protect our intellectual work, no refunds are issued at the following stages.Refunds will not be granted under the following conditions:Initiated Work: Once work has begun, a 50% non-refundable deposit is retained to cover time, intellectual contributions, and administrative costs. At this stage, no refunds are granted.Completed Services: The remaining 50% is due upon completion and approval. The completed services are non-refundable.Digital Products & Reports: All strategy documents, reports, or templates are non-refundable.Consulting Sessions: Time-based consultations are considered rendered services and are therefore non-refundable.6. Legal Waiver
By entering into an agreement with Stone Division Brokerage, and upon project initiation beyond the 48-hour cancellation window, you legally waive the right to pursue a refund through legal action or alternative dispute methods.Due to the subjective and consumable nature of our deliverables, once a project is initiated, its value becomes immediately tied to usage and the exposure of the idea—making refund evaluation impossible.

7. Disputes and Chargebacks
Stone Division Brokerage does not entertain chargebacks or third-party payment disputes. By engaging our services and submitting payment, you agree to:Resolve any concerns directly with us.Refrain from initiating chargebacks through your bank or payment provider.We reserve the right to contest all chargebacks legally.8. Client Obligations
As a client, your role is essential to the success of the project. You agree to:Maintain a consistent creative vision. Notify us immediately if your goals and vision shift.Provide all necessary and accurate information required for your branding solution.Respond to revision requests and feedback milestones on time.Failure to meet multiple due date may result in the project being completed without further input, and no refunds will be issued.
Please remember, you are ultimately responsible for your brand’s success. A change of mind is not grounds for a refund.9. Changes to This Policy
We reserve the right to amend or update this Refund Policy at any time without prior notice. The current version of the policy will always be available at our official website or upon request. Continued use of our services constitutes acceptance of the most recent version.10. Intellectual Property Rights
