Dominium Domains, Terms & Conditions

Last Revised: July 14, 2026

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY. THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES, AND OBLIGATIONS, INCLUDING A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, A DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, AND (FOR U.S. USERS) AN AGREEMENT TO RESOLVE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND A WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND JURY TRIALS.

1. Who We Are and Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Dominium Domains ("Dominium Domains," "we," "us," or "our"), the operator of the website located at www.dominiumdomains.com (the "Site") and the seller of the domain names and related assets offered through it (the "Services"). Dominium Domains is operated by Alexandre Willems, doing business as Dominium Domains, based in Topanga Canyon, California.

By accessing or using the Site, browsing our listings, making an inquiry or offer, or purchasing a domain name from us, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Site or purchase from us.

The Site and Services are intended for users who are at least 18 years old and who can form a legally binding contract under applicable law. By using the Site, you represent that you meet these requirements. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity, and "you" refers to that entity.

2. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last Revised" date at the top of this page. Changes take effect when posted. Your continued use of the Site or a purchase made after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

3. What We Sell

Dominium Domains sells premium and brandable domain names that we own or otherwise have the right to sell. Unless a listing expressly says otherwise, a purchase is for the domain name registration only. It does not include any website, content, hosting, email service, traffic, revenue, trademark, or business associated with the name.

Where a listing includes additional brand assets (for example, a logo concept, brand name suggestion, or design deck produced as part of our listing process), those assets are provided as described in Section 10 below.

Availability, descriptions, and prices shown on the Site may change at any time without notice. We make reasonable efforts to keep listings accurate, but we do not warrant that any listing is complete, current, or error-free, and we may correct errors, cancel orders arising from an error, or withdraw a listing at any time.

4. How Purchases and Transfers Work

You may purchase a domain name from us through one or more of the following channels, as offered for a given name:

• Direct checkout on the Site, where payment is processed by our third-party payment processor (for example, Stripe);
• A third-party marketplace where the name is listed (for example, Afternic or eBay), in which case that marketplace's terms also govern your purchase; and
• A third-party escrow service (for example, Escrow.com) for negotiated or higher-value sales, in which case that escrow provider's terms govern the handling of funds and the release of the domain.

Your order is an offer to buy. A sale is not final until we accept your order and payment has cleared. We may decline or cancel any order at our discretion, including where we suspect fraud, payment failure, pricing error, or a legal or ownership issue with the name. If we cancel before transfer, your sole remedy is a refund of amounts actually received by us for that order.

Once payment has cleared, we will transfer the domain name to you within a commercially reasonable time, by pushing it to an account at the same registrar or by initiating an inter-registrar transfer, depending on the name. Transfer timeframes are estimates only and depend on registrar and registry processes outside our control. It is your responsibility to accept the transfer, to provide accurate account and registrant information, and to complete any steps your registrar requires.

You are responsible for all future registration and renewal fees for the domain after transfer, payable to your chosen registrar and not to us.

5. 60-Day Transfer Lock (ICANN Rule)

You acknowledge that, under ICANN's Change of Registrant policy, a domain name that changes registrant is generally locked from transferring to a different registrar for sixty (60) days following the change. This is a registry/registrar rule, not a rule imposed by us, and we have no ability to waive it. If you anticipate needing to move a domain to another registrar quickly, plan around this period. We are not responsible for any loss, delay, or inconvenience arising from the 60-day lock.

6. Refunds and Cancellations

Because a domain name is a unique digital asset that cannot be returned once delivered, all sales are final once a transfer has been initiated. This is standard practice across the domain industry.

Before a transfer is initiated, the following applies by channel:

• Direct (Site/Stripe) purchases: if you request cancellation before we initiate the transfer, we will refund your payment, less any non-refundable payment-processing fees charged by our processor (which the processor does not return to us). Once the transfer has been initiated, the sale is final and no refund is available.
• Marketplace purchases (Afternic, eBay, etc.): refunds, if any, are governed by that marketplace's policies, not ours.
• Escrow purchases (Escrow.com, etc.): the handling and release of funds, and any refund before release, are governed by the escrow provider's terms.

Nothing in this Section limits any non-waivable right you may have under applicable law, including California consumer-protection law where it applies to your purchase.

7. Your Due Diligence; Trademarks

It is your sole responsibility to conduct your own due diligence before purchasing a domain name, including any trademark, intellectual-property, or legal clearance for how you intend to use the name. A domain name that is available to register or purchase is not a guarantee that using it for a particular brand, product, or purpose is free of third-party rights.

We do not provide legal advice and do not represent or warrant that any domain name is free of all third-party trademark or other claims, or that your intended use will not draw objection, opposition, or a dispute (including a proceeding under the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy). You are encouraged to seek independent legal advice before purchasing. Once a name is transferred to you, obtaining any trademark or other protection for it, and defending it, is your responsibility alone.

8. Our Limited Warranty of Title

We warrant only the following, and nothing more: that, at the time of sale, we are the registrant of (or otherwise hold the right to sell) the domain name offered, and that we have the right to transfer it to you free of any lien or security interest granted by us. This limited warranty is the only representation we make about a domain name.

Except for this limited warranty of title, everything in Section 9 (Disclaimer of Warranties) applies in full.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTY OF TITLE IN SECTION 8, THE SITE, THE SERVICES, AND EVERY DOMAIN NAME AND ASSET WE SELL ARE PROVIDED "AS IS," "AS AVAILABLE," AND "WITH ALL FAULTS." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE (BEYOND SECTION 8), AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT ANY DOMAIN NAME WILL HAVE ANY PARTICULAR VALUE, TRAFFIC, HISTORY, OR SUITABILITY FOR YOUR PURPOSE, OR THAT YOUR USE OF A NAME WILL NOT BE CHALLENGED BY A THIRD PARTY. ANY MATERIAL OR INFORMATION ON THE SITE IS FOR GENERAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT LEGAL OR FINANCIAL ADVICE.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT CASE, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED TO THE MINIMUM SCOPE AND DURATION PERMITTED BY LAW.

9A. Digital Asset Risk Disclosure

Domain names and brand assets are intangible digital assets. The prices and valuations on this site are our own opinions, based on our judgment of quality, comparable sales, and positioning. They are not appraisals, not certified valuations, and not predictions of what any asset will be worth to you or to anyone else.

The market for domain names is speculative and illiquid. An asset may sell quickly, slowly, or never. Its value may rise, fall, or go to zero. Buy a name because it serves your brand today, not as an investment.

Technology itself is a risk, and we will be honest with you about it. Artificial intelligence is changing how people search, browse, name, and build. It is possible that AI reshapes or makes obsolete the role of typed domain names, brand search, or entire industries as they operate today, including ours. No one, including us, can promise what the internet will look like in five years. Nothing on this site is investment, financial, legal, or tax advice.

9B. The Assay (Test Your Metal); Seals and Medals

The Assay is a free, informational reading. When you submit a concept, we run searches of stated sources on a stated date, report what we find, and may issue a dated record (a "Seal," "medal," or "reading") that describes the structure of what our search found. That is all it is.

What a Seal is not. A Seal, medal, or reading is a record, not a right. It does not create, register, or transfer any trademark, copyright, patent, or other intellectual-property right. It is not a legal opinion, not trademark clearance, and not legal advice, and it is not a substitute for consulting an attorney. It is not financial, investment, or business advice, and it is not a valuation, an endorsement, or a prediction that any concept, brand, or venture will succeed. The absence of a Seal implies nothing negative about a concept, and holding one implies no likelihood of commercial success.

Bounded by design. Every reading and attestation is limited to the sources searched as of its date. Our searches are not exhaustive and can miss things. Similar ideas can and do arise independently, and a reading is not a guarantee of uniqueness anywhere. We make no promise that no prior or similar concept exists, and no representation about what any record is worth in any dispute; that is a question for lawyers and courts, and we make no claims about it.

No promises on timing or outcome. Response times stated for readings are targets, not guarantees. We may decline any submission at our discretion. Readings, Seals, and medals are provided "as is" and are subject to Section 9 (Disclaimer of Warranties) and Section 14 (Limitation of Liability).

Your submission. Submissions are handled as described on the Assay page: used to run your reading, and not used in our own ventures, shown to other clients, or sold. Do not submit anything you consider a trade secret; if information is confidential enough that disclosure would harm you, keep it to yourself and consult an attorney before sharing it with anyone.

10. Included Brand Assets (Logos and Concepts)

If a domain purchase includes a logo, brand concept, or other design asset, then upon payment in full the ownership or a full license to that specific asset transfers to you for your use, and you may modify it as you wish. However, you acknowledge that we have not performed, and have no obligation to perform, any trademark, service-mark, or copyright search or clearance on any such asset. We make no representation or warranty that a logo or brand concept is free of third-party rights or is available for trademark registration. You use any included brand asset at your own risk, and any trademark search, clearance, or registration is your responsibility.

11. Buyer's Responsibility After Transfer

Once a domain name has been transferred to you, you assume full responsibility for it, and we have no liability for:

• your use of, or inability to use or benefit from, the domain name;
• the validity or enforceability of your entitlement to the name after transfer;
• any suspension, loss, cancellation, or modification of the registration by a registrar or registry, or under any dispute policy adopted by ICANN or a registry;
• any interruption of your business; and
• any situation existing before the sale, or arising after it, that affects the name.

12. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes. You agree not to:

• use the Site in any way that breaks any applicable local, state, national, or international law or regulation;
• use the Site in any fraudulent, deceptive, or unlawful way, or for any unlawful or fraudulent purpose;
• send or procure any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising or promotional material (spam);
• transmit any viruses, worms, Trojan horses, or other harmful code;
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to, interfere with, damage, or disrupt the Site, its servers, or any connected network;
• use any robot, spider, scraper, or other automated means to access or copy the Site without our prior written consent; or
• impersonate any person or misrepresent your identity or affiliation.

We may investigate and take any action we reasonably think appropriate for a breach of this Section, including removing content, refusing or cancelling orders, suspending access to the Site, and reporting activity to law enforcement.

13. Intellectual Property

The Site and its contents, features, and design (excluding the domain names offered for sale and any assets expressly transferred to you on purchase) are owned by Dominium Domains or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from the Site or its content, except as needed for ordinary personal viewing, without our prior written consent. The Dominium Domains name and logo are our marks and may not be used without our permission.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL DOMINIUM DOMAINS OR ITS OWNER, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, DATA, OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SITE, THE SERVICES, OR ANY DOMAIN NAME OR ASSET WE SELL, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER THEORY, AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO A DOMAIN NAME OR ASSET WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID TO US FOR THAT SPECIFIC DOMAIN NAME OR ASSET.

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES OR LIMITS OUR LIABILITY FOR ANYTHING THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED, INCLUDING LIABILITY FOR FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION, OR FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY OUR NEGLIGENCE. WHERE APPLICABLE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION, THEY APPLY ONLY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED.

15. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Dominium Domains and its owner, members, employees, agents, and service providers from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Site or the Services, your purchase or use of any domain name or asset, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual-property right. This obligation survives the completion of your purchase and any termination of these Terms.

16. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Class-Action and Jury Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

Informal resolution first. If you have a dispute with us, please contact us first at support@dominiumdomains.com so we can try to resolve it. Most concerns can be resolved quickly this way. You agree to give us at least sixty (60) days to resolve a dispute informally before starting a formal proceeding.

Binding individual arbitration. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and Dominium Domains agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, the Services, or any purchase will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies. The arbitration will take place in Los Angeles County, California, or by video/telephone where the rules allow. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

Class-action and jury waiver. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND DOMINIUM DOMAINS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AND DOMINIUM DOMAINS EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

This Section does not apply to a claim for trademark, copyright, or other intellectual-property infringement or misappropriation, which either party may bring in court. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will proceed in court, but the rest of this Section still applies. Where applicable law prohibits arbitration of a given dispute or for a given user, this Section applies only to the extent permitted.

17. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or the Site are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. For any matter not subject to arbitration under Section 16, you and Dominium Domains agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and waive any objection to that venue.

18. Prevailing-Party Attorneys' Fees

In any dispute, arbitration, or legal proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or a purchase, the prevailing party is entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, to the extent permitted by law.

19. Time Limit to Bring a Claim

To the extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or related to these Terms, the Site, or a purchase must be brought within one (1) year after the claim arose. Otherwise, the claim is permanently barred.

20. Third-Party Links and Services

The Site and Services may link to or rely on third parties (for example, payment processors, marketplaces, escrow services, and registrars). We do not control and are not responsible for their content, terms, privacy practices, or availability. Your dealings with them are governed by their own terms, and you release us from any liability arising from those dealings.

21. Waiver and Severability

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions stay in full force.

22. Entire Agreement

These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Dominium Domains about the Site and the Services, and they supersede any prior understandings on that subject. Where a marketplace or escrow provider's terms also apply to a specific purchase, they apply in addition to these Terms for that purchase. The Forge naming service is additionally governed by the Forge Terms, available at forge.dominiumdomains.com/forge-terms, which apply in addition to these Terms for that service.
