The first monthly payment shall be due on the Effective Date and shall be due thereafter every month on the same date of each month during the Term. By further and separate agreement with You, and at additional cost, Epik may provide a website found at the address of the Domain (along with related software and documentation) and this page shall be included within the definition of "Domain" and also subject to this Agreement and a separate agreement. If You fail to pay any scheduled payment when due then all rights held by You under this Agreement shall immediately terminate. In the event of such termination, You agree You no longer have the right of use of the Domain, and the Domain may immediately be sold, reassigned, transferred, encumbered, or re-leased to another party at Epik's sole discretion without further obligation to You.
Until the domain is purchased by you, you agree that the Domain is not owned by you. You shall keep the Domain free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. You shall not assign the Domain or this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder or sublease the Domain.
You shall immediately notify Epik of all details concerning any damage or loss arising out of the functioning or operation of the Domain.

You understand and agree that if at any time it is discovered that You have violated any applicable law or regulation, or it is otherwise required by applicable laws or regulations, Epik may undertake appropriate actions to ensure compliance with such laws or regulations. You understand that Epik may release confidential information about You to proper authorities if Epik, in its sole discretion, determines that it is in the best interests of the Epik in light of relevant rules and regulations under applicable laws to do so. You agree you shall not (i) make any trademark filing in any jurisdiction incorporating or reflecting the same or similar word, or combination of words, as the Domain, nor (ii) utilize the Domain in any manner so as to violate the trademark interests of any third party or Epik. In the event any trademark violation is alleged due to your use of the Domain, you agree you shall be solely and exclusively responsible for the costs of defending against such alleged violation in addition to any damages which may be ultimately awarded.
You shall be in default hereunder, and there shall be a breach of this Agreement, if: a) You fail to pay any monthly payment after the same becomes due, b) You attempt to remove, sell, transfer, encumber, sublet or part with possession of the Domain, or c) You fail to observe or perform any of the other obligations required to be observed or performed by You hereunder ("Default"). In the event of Default, Epik shall repossess the Domain and have no further obligation to You, provided however, You shall be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement as may be set forth herein.

Your offer has been sent.
Your offer in the amount of ${{amount}} has been relayed to the owner of {{domain}} for review.
Note: Whether or not the owner chooses to respond is their decision. Some individuals are busy and may miss or choose to ignore unrealistically low offers. Some individuals are prepared to negotiate a sale or lease. Others merely wish to be notified of potential interest; and they may ultimately prefer to keep the domain for personal reasons.
Domain names are actively bought and sold for hundreds, thousands, even millions of dollars, depending on the category. After all, online property is limited; and the web has been around for decades. Therefore, if you do not receive any reply, consider making another offer at a higher amount – something more in keeping with today's market values.
Meanwhile, consider purchasing a refundable backorder for {{domain}}.
If the current owner doesn't renew, then you'll have a chance at ownership.
