Buyer Rules
Template notice. This document is a template provided with the BuildMarket platform. It has not been reviewed by counsel for your jurisdiction or business. Replace or approve it in the admin panel before public launch.
- Bids and offers are binding. If you win an auction or your offer is accepted, you must proceed to escrow within the agreement window.
- Do your diligence. Use deal rooms, ask questions, and verify what matters to you. Badges and scores help but are not guarantees.
- Fund escrow only through the escrow provider. Never send money directly to a seller.
- Inspect promptly. Confirm receipt within the inspection period. Silence after the inspection period may be treated as acceptance by the escrow provider's terms.
- Rotate credentials. After transfer, change every password, API key and secret. BuildMarket sellers are instructed never to share secrets in chat.
- Respect confidentiality. Deal room material is confidential and may be subject to the click-through NDA you accepted.
- No circumvention. Do not take a deal off-platform to avoid fees.
- No abuse. Bid retraction, bid manipulation, harassment or fraudulent chargebacks lead to removal.
