The following describes the terms and conditions on which Judgment Marketplace LLC. (“Judgment Marketplace”) offers you access to our website (the “Site”). These terms and conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) describe the policies, terms, and conditions applicable to your use of our services (“Services”) at the Judgment Marketplace Web Site (the “Site”). Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully. Your use of our Services indicates that you accept these Terms and Conditions, as amended by Judgment Marketplace from time to time. You may not use our Services if you do not accept these Terms and Conditions.

Judgment Marketplace reserves the right to make changes to this Site and these Terms and Conditions at any time without prior notice. This Agreement may not otherwise be amended except in a writing signed by Judgment Marketplace.


  1. Ownership of Site.
    2. The Site is owned by Judgment Marketplace, organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with its principal office located in Cincinnati, Ohio. Judgment Marketplace owns or licenses from third parties all information and other content as well as all of the software and technology related to the Site, including, but not limited to, all HTML code, Java applets, graphics, icons, wallpaper, characters, artwork and text related to or contained in the Site (collectively called the “Technology”). You may not use the Site or copy, transmit, publish, modify, distribute, perform, create derivative works from or reverse engineer any of the Technology except as expressly permitted by these Terms and Conditions. Judgment Marketplace may, at any time and in its sole discretion, add, delete or change the Site (including but not limited to these Terms and Conditions) and any of the Services provided by or through the Site without notice.

  2. Eligibility to Use of Our Service.
    3. Our Services are available only to users who can form legally binding contracts under the laws of the United States of America and the country, state and/or territory in which such user resides. Without limiting the foregoing, our Services are not available to (a) anyone under the age of 18, (b) users whose use of our Services has been temporarily or indefinitely suspended, or (c) nationals or residents of any country restricted by the United States Government, as such restricted countries may be amended or modified from time to time by the United States Government. If you do not qualify, please do not use our Services.

  3. The Site is only a Venue.
    1. The Site acts as a venue to allow anyone to offer, sell, buy and trade products in the categories listed on the Site, at any time, in a variety of formats, including a fixed price format and/or “Offer and Sale” format. Judgment Marketplace has no control over the quality, validity, safety or legality of the items advertised for Sale on its Site, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of sellers to sell items or the ability of buyers to buy items. Judgment Marketplace cannot and will not ensure that: i) a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction; ii) any listings are valid unless expressly certified by Judgment Marketplace; or iii) that any documents purporting to assign or transfer an interest in a judgment from one party to another are or will be deemed valid by the respective Court or its Clerks in the respective state and/or courthouse.
    2. Safe Trading. Because user authentication on the Internet is difficult, Judgment Marketplace cannot and does not confirm each user’s purported identity. You assume all risk that you may be dealing with foreign nationals, underage persons or persons acting under false pretense. You may wish to consider using a third party service that provides additional user verification.
    3. Release. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more users, you hereby release Judgment Marketplace (and its officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and/or consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes arising from any use of the Site or relationships formed with third parties through the Site. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
    4. Information Control. Judgment Marketplace does not control the information provided by other users which is made available through our system. You may find other user’s information to be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or deceptive. Please use caution, common sense, and practice safe trading when using our Site. Please note that there are also risks of dealing with underage persons or people acting under false pretense. Additionally, there may also be risks of dealing with international trade and foreign nationals.

  4. Buying
    5. If you make an offer to purchase a judgment and a Seller accepts your offer, you are obligated to complete the transaction, unless the transaction is prohibited by law or by these Terms and Conditions. By submitting an offer on an item you agree to be bound by the conditions of sale included in the item’s description so long as those conditions of sale are not in violation of these Terms and Conditions or unlawful. Accepted bids are not retractable except in exceptional circumstances such as: i) the seller materially changes the item’s description after you bid ii) the judgment is vacated (in part or whole); iii) a clear typographical error is made; iv) the seller’s identity and/or authority to sell the subject judgment cannot be validated. By using our Site, you hereby agree that Judgment Marketplace’s discretion as to whether a Buyer may retract an accepted offer shall be deemed binding. Upon agreeing to purchase a judgment (or portfolio of judgments) and confirming the upload of the Seller’s executed assignment of judgment, the full amount of the agreed price will be processed using the payment method you registered on the Site. An 8% final value fee is charged by Judgment Marketplace for the sale of Listing on the Site (see paragraph 17 herein). The final value fees are subject to change, however, no change shall be effective for the sale of any Listings which occurred prior to notice of same. The final value fees are calculated by 8% of the gross fee paid by the Buyer to the Seller in consideration of the Seller’s assignment of the Listing. The final value fees are incurred solely by the Seller.

    2. If you accept an offer, or a counteroffer that you propose is accepted, you are obligated to complete the transaction. You are responsible to upload a signed and notarized assignment of the subject judgment within seven (7) business days. The only acceptable base for failing to complete the transfer of assignment is if you cannot authenticate the Buyer’s identity.
    3. Fraud. Without limiting any other remedies, Judgment Marketplace may suspend or terminate your account if it suspects that you (by conviction, settlement, insurance or escrow investigation, or otherwise) have engaged in fraudulent activity in connection with the Site.
    4. Manipulation. Neither you, nor any other User of Judgment Marketplace may manipulate the price of any item nor may you interfere with other user’s listings.
