Terms and conditions

Version 2024.06.25

Evertraffic is a platform specifically designed to connect buyers and sellers of passive revenue generating assets in a secure and anonymous manner, through auctions.

Sellers may submit their assets for auction and Buyers may bid on these auctions once their account meets the requirements set by Evertraffic and the Seller.

Transactions are set up once an auction concludes and meets the Reserve Price set by the Seller. Evertraffic initiates a transaction as a Broker on Escrow.com, this ensures a safe and anonymous transaction between the Buyer and Seller.
