Seller Identity and Ownership Proof

Buyers should verify that the seller has the legal right to sell the asset. This may include identity verification, business registration, domain ownership records, or code repository access confirmation.

useEmark.com is developing seller verification features. Until then, buyers should request proof directly from sellers.

Asset Ownership Proof

Confirm that the seller owns or has rights to transfer the digital asset. For domains, check WHOIS records. For code, verify repository ownership. For SaaS products, confirm account access and billing relationships.

Revenue Proof, If Claimed

If the listing claims revenue, request evidence such as payment processor screenshots, bank statements, or accounting reports. Verify the time period and consistency of revenue claims.

Traffic Proof, If Claimed

If the listing claims traffic, request analytics screenshots or reports. Verify the traffic source, quality, and trends over time. Consider whether traffic is organic, paid, or referral-based.

Domain and Code Transfer Checks

Confirm domain registrar access, transfer eligibility, and any transfer locks. For code, verify repository access, deployment credentials, and any dependencies on third-party services.

AI Tool and SaaS Transfer Checks

For AI tools and SaaS products, verify API keys, model access, hosting accounts, database access, and any third-party service dependencies. Confirm what can and cannot be transferred.

Newsletter and Customer Data Transfer Checks

For newsletters and customer-facing products, confirm subscriber list ownership, email service provider access, and legal compliance for data transfer. GDPR, CAN-SPAM, and other regulations may apply.

Known Risks and Disclosures

Ask sellers about known bugs, technical debt, pending disputes, legal issues, or other risks. Review any disclosures in the listing carefully.

Escrow and Payment Notes

Escrow protection is being developed on useEmark.com. Until escrow is live, buyers and sellers should agree on payment terms carefully. Consider using third-party escrow services for high-value transactions.
