Terms of Use

Last updated: September 22, 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Future.Domains website at future.domains and the information, features, and services made available through it.

By accessing or using Future.Domains, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the website or services.

1. About Future.Domains

Future.Domains is a platform designed to support the discovery, development, and launch of new top-level domains (“TLDs”).

The platform may provide information about proposed, applied-for, delegated, or upcoming TLDs; tools for discovering TLDs and domain names; opportunities to express interest in or otherwise engage with upcoming domain names; and services for TLD applicants and registry operators seeking to build and understand market demand.

Future.Domains is an independent service and is not ICANN, a domain name registry, or a domain name registrar unless expressly stated otherwise.

2. TLD and Domain Information

Information about TLD applications, applicants, launch plans, availability, timing, pricing, policies, restrictions, or other TLD-related matters may be obtained from public sources, participating organizations, third parties, or other sources we consider relevant.

The new TLD application and launch process is subject to change. A proposed or applied-for TLD may be delayed, changed, withdrawn, objected to, placed into contention, rejected, or never delegated or launched.

Future.Domains does not guarantee that any TLD displayed on the website will ultimately be delegated or become available.

We aim to provide useful and accurate information but do not guarantee that all information on Future.Domains is complete, current, or error-free.

3. Domain Name Availability

Search results, suggested names, expressions of interest, watchlists, reservations, or other indications displayed through Future.Domains do not by themselves guarantee the availability or registration of a domain name.

Domain-name availability may depend on factors including registry policies, rights-protection mechanisms, reserved names, premium-name classifications, eligibility requirements, launch phases, registrar availability, applicable law, and other requirements.

A domain name is not registered merely because it appears available or because a user has expressed interest in, followed, selected, or otherwise interacted with it through Future.Domains.

Where Future.Domains later offers a specific reservation, priority, payment, registration, or similar service, additional terms applicable to that service may be presented before a user participates.

4. Registry Pre-Launch Services

Future.Domains may provide TLD applicants and registry operators with services designed to build and measure demand before and during the launch of a TLD.

These services may include customer-discovery destinations, demand measurement, campaign attribution, market intelligence, pre-launch customer engagement, pricing support, and other launch-related services.

Participation in Future.Domains does not guarantee the delegation, launch, commercial performance, registration volume, revenue, or success of any TLD.

Registry-specific services may be subject to additional agreements or commercial terms.

5. ICANN, Registry and Registrar Requirements

TLDs and domain-name registrations may be subject to requirements established by ICANN, registry operators, registrars, governmental authorities, rights-protection mechanisms, or other applicable parties.

Nothing on Future.Domains overrides those requirements.

Future.Domains is not affiliated with or endorsed by ICANN unless expressly stated otherwise. References to ICANN, registries, registrars, TLD applicants, or other third parties do not imply sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation.

6. Accounts and Information You Provide

Certain Future.Domains services may require you to provide information, create an account, verify your identity or authority, or satisfy eligibility requirements.

You agree to provide accurate information and to update it where reasonably necessary.

If you create an account, you are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and for activity conducted through your account.

You may not impersonate another person or organization or falsely claim authority over a TLD, registry, domain name, or other asset.

7. Acceptable Use

You may not use Future.Domains to:

  • violate applicable law or the rights of another person;
  • interfere with the operation or security of the website or services;
  • introduce malicious code or attempt unauthorized access;
  • scrape, harvest, copy, or systematically extract data from the service except as expressly permitted;
  • misrepresent your identity, affiliation, or authority;
  • use automated systems in a manner that imposes an unreasonable burden on the service; or
  • use Future.Domains for fraudulent, deceptive, abusive, or unlawful activity.

We may restrict or suspend access where reasonably necessary to protect Future.Domains, its users, third parties, or the integrity of the service.

8. Intellectual Property

Future.Domains and its associated website design, software, graphics, branding, text, databases, compilations, and original content are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Except where expressly permitted, you may not reproduce, modify, distribute, sell, license, or commercially exploit Future.Domains content or technology without authorization.

TLD strings, domain names, trademarks, logos, and other materials belonging to third parties remain the property of their respective owners. Their appearance on Future.Domains does not imply ownership, sponsorship, or endorsement.

9. Third-Party Services and Links

Future.Domains may link to or interact with third-party websites, registries, registrars, payment providers, technology providers, or other services.

We do not control third-party services and are not responsible for their content, availability, policies, security, or practices. Your use of third-party services may be subject to separate terms and privacy policies.

10. No Professional Advice

Information provided through Future.Domains is for general informational and commercial purposes.

Nothing on the website constitutes legal, tax, accounting, investment, trademark, intellectual-property, or other professional advice. You should obtain appropriate professional advice where necessary for your circumstances.

11. Disclaimers

Future.Domains is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis to the extent permitted by applicable law.

We do not warrant that the website or services will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or suitable for every purpose.

We make no guarantee regarding the delegation or launch of a TLD, availability or registration of a domain name, level of customer demand, commercial results, revenue, or other outcome arising from use of Future.Domains.

Nothing in these Terms excludes any warranty, right, or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Future.Domains will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or similar damages arising from or related to use of, or inability to use, the website or services, including loss of profits, revenue, data, opportunities, goodwill, or anticipated savings.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability where such limitation or exclusion is prohibited by applicable law.

Additional agreements for paid or registry-specific Future.Domains services may contain different or additional liability provisions.

13. Privacy

Our collection and use of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.

Where additional privacy notices apply to a particular service, they will be provided as appropriate.

14. Changes to Future.Domains and These Terms

Future.Domains is an evolving platform. We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue features or services from time to time.

We may also update these Terms to reflect changes to Future.Domains, applicable law, or our business practices.

The “Last updated” date above indicates when these Terms were most recently revised. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice of material changes.

15. Additional Terms

Certain services, including paid services, registry programs, domain-name reservations, registration-related services, marketplace functionality, or other Future.Domains offerings, may be subject to additional terms.

If additional terms conflict with these Terms with respect to a specific service, the additional terms will govern that service to the extent of the conflict.

16. Governing Law

The governing law and jurisdiction applicable to Future.Domains will be identified as part of the final operating entity and service structure.

Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you may have under mandatory laws that apply to you and cannot contractually be excluded.
