I. INTRODUCTION

  1. These Terms and Conditions of Service (hereafter “Terms”) govern and apply to your access and use of Authority Domains LLC website Authority.Domains located at https://authority.domains (hereafter referred to as “Authority.Domains”) and all products and services offered therein as well as to all data and content that you receive from Authority.Domains (collectively referred to as “Service”).
  2. You agree that you have read and understood these Terms and the relevant policies and conditions herein, and agree to be legally bound by them. If you do not agree to the Terms, you may not use the Service.
  3. If you are using the Service on behalf of a legal entity such as a company or organization, you should have the proper authority to agree to the Terms on behalf of the legal entity that you represent. In that case, ‘you’ and ‘your’ refer to that entity.

II. THE SERVICE

  1. Under the Terms, you are granted a limited, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and non-exclusive right and license to access and use the Service under the condition that you do not sell, grant, sub-license or otherwise transfer any right in the Service to third parties, nor attempt to do so. Authority.Domains retains all rights not expressly granted by these Terms.
  2. To access and use the Service, you must be an identifiable individual over the age of 16 and have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements.
  3. The Authority.Domains website is not an ecommerce store, as there are no financial transactions taking place. The Authority.Domains website is a domain listing platform and a contact point for Authority Domains LLC .
  4. In order for a domain order to be finalized, the Authority.Domains website user must receive an email from the Authority.Domains staff confirming the current price and availability of the domain (or domains). Once an email correspondence has been established, the Authority.Domains website user must complete the payment via a payment channel agreed upon on behalf of both Authority Domains and the user, who created the domain order.
  5. Prices displayed on the Authority.Domains website are subject to change at any point of the domain order process. The price of a domain displayed on the Authority.Domains website may not be the final price of said domain.
  6. Authority Domains LLC is not responsible if a domain order isn’t finalized, as domain sales are subject to a number of factors that go beyond the scope of Authority Domains LLC capacities.
  7. Authority Domains LLC applies the necessary measure to provide valid and up-to-date data. However, Authority Domains LLC is not responsible if data displayed on the Authority.Domains website is invalid, including Domain Authority, Referring Domains, Ahrefs Domain Rating, Trust Flow, Citation Flow, Monthly Unique Visits, Google Index, domain descriptions, and domain topic categories.
  8. Authority Domains LLC is not responsible for any activities taking place on websites, hosted on the domain after an Authority.Domains client takes control of the domain, regarding configuration, content, trademark abuse, and other liabilities. This applies even if the domain name is registered under our name, because the company and the names of its employees may be used like a Whois privacy service by Authority Domains LLC customers.
  9. In the case of legal arguments, including but not limited to the examples described in II.16, regarding domains that a user of the Authority.Domains website has taken control over, any available personal information belonging to the user in question will be delivered to the corresponding legal authorities.

  13. Domain transfer codes issued by Authority.domains can only be used 3 months after the date of a domain purchase. If a transfer code has not been used for over 3 months, the user loses the right to use the transfer code. Authority.Domains reserves the right to refuse a refund and refuse issuing a new transfer code in the aforementioned scenario.
  14. Authority.Domains reserves the right to take ownership of a domain purchased from Authority.Domains, if the domain registrant has not been changed since the purchase and the domain has not been renewed on the expiration date.
