Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern our relationship with users and others who interact with NameStation. By using or accessing NameStation, you agree to this Statement.

Privacy

Your privacy is very important to us. We designed our Privacy Policy to disclose how you can use NameStation to share data with others and how we collect and can use your content and information. We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy, and to use it to help make informed decisions.

Safety

We do our best to keep NameStation safe, but we cannot guarantee it. We need your help to do that, which includes the following commitments:

  • You will not send or otherwise post unauthorized commercial communications (such as spam) on NameStation.
  • You will not collect users' content or information, or otherwise access NameStation, using automated means (such as harvesting bots, robots, spiders, or scrapers) without our permission.
  • You will not engage in unlawful multi-level marketing, such as a pyramid scheme, on NameStation.
  • You will not upload viruses or other malicious code.
  • You will not solicit login information or access an account belonging to someone else.
  • You will not bully, intimidate, or harass any user.
  • You will not post content that: is hateful, threatening, or pornographic; incites violence; or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence.
  • You will not use NameStation to do anything unlawful, misleading, malicious, or discriminatory.
  • You will not do anything that could disable, overburden, or impair the proper working of NameStation, such as a denial of service attack.
  • You will not facilitate or encourage any violations of this Statement.

Domain Search Limitations

Using automated tools to query our domain search pages or API is not permitted. Performing domain lookups is not an unlimited resource and we are monitoring excess requests to detect automated usage. Running automated queries will result in account deletion.

Registration and Account Security

NameStation users provide their real names and information, and we need your help to keep it that way. Here are some commitments you make to us relating to registering and maintaining the security of your account:

  • You will not provide any false personal information on NameStation, or create an account for anyone other than yourself without permission.
  • You will not create more than one personal profile.
  • If we disable your account, you will not create another one without our permission.
  • You will not use your personal profile for your own commercial gain (such as selling your status update to an advertiser).
  • You will keep your contact information accurate and up-to-date.
  • You will not share your password, (or in the case of developers, your secret key), let anyone else access your account, or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of your account.
  • You will not transfer your account (including any page or application you administer) to anyone without first getting our written permission.
  • If you select a username for your account we reserve the right to remove or reclaim it if we believe appropriate (such as when a trademark owner complains about a username that does not closely relate to a user's actual name).

Protecting Other People's Rights

We respect other people's rights, and expect you to do the same.

  • You will not post content or take any action on NameStation that infringes or violates someone else's rights or otherwise violates the law.
  • We can remove any content or information you post on NameStation if we believe that it violates this Statement.
  • We will provide you with tools to help you protect your intellectual property rights. To learn more, visit our How to Report Claims of Intellectual Property Infringement page.
  • If we remove your content for infringing someone else's copyright, and you believe we removed it by mistake, we will provide you with an opportunity to appeal.
  • If you repeatedly infringe other people's intellectual property rights, we will disable your account when appropriate.
  • You will not use our copyrights or trademarks (including NameStation, the NameStation and circle Logos), or any confusingly similar marks, without our written permission.
  • If you collect information from users, you will: obtain their consent, make it clear you (and not NameStation) are the one collecting their information, and post a privacy policy explaining what information you collect and how you will use it.
  • You will not post anyone's identification documents or sensitive financial information on NameStation.
  • You will not tag users or send email invitations to non-users without their consent.

Taxes and Reporting

Each member is responsible for satisfying all tax, governmental reporting and other legal requirements under applicable law, including without limitation those applicable to the purchase and sale of services provided by creatives, from and by independent contractors.

Name Contests

Do not post a contest that contains anything that may be construed as obscene, pornographic, illegal or offensive in any way.

Do not advertise any monetary awards in your name contest. Since NameStation does not guarantee any additional awards, we cannot allow it. We have a Talent Points system to motivate contributors.

After contest expiration, contest holders will be required to chose a winner for your name contest. If you fail to choose a winning entry within 7 days of the end of the name contest, NameStation will close the contest and all the unused entries will become publicly visible.

Intellectual Property

By entering into a Public Name Contest as a contributor, you agree that you assign to NameStation, all Intellectual Property Rights which you have or may in the future have in the submissions you post.

When the request creator registers a domain name or when a Public Name Contest is closed and the winner is selected, the rights to the entries selected are transferred to the Contest Holder.

When the name contest is closed, all unregistered entries are published in the Contributed Domains Catalogue, from which the general public can freely choose to register any domain name. If the Contest Holder does not close the Contest, it will be closed automatically 7 days after it expires.

NameStation does not reserve or register domain names on behalf of its users. It is the responsibility of the Request Owner to register the domain names to secure ownership of the names selected.

The contributor hereby indemnifies and keeps indemnified the Customer, NameStation and NameStation's third party providers ("Indemnified Parties") against any loss, cost, expense or damage (including legal costs on a full indemnity basis) which the Indemnified Parties may suffer or incur as a result of a breach by the Contestant of any of the provisions of this clause.

Amendments

We can change this Statement if we provide you notice (by posting the change on the NameStation Blog) and an opportunity to comment.

Termination

If you violate the letter or spirit of this Statement, or otherwise create risk or possible legal exposure for us, we can stop providing all or part of NameStation to you. We will notify you by email or at the next time you attempt to access your account. You may also delete your account or disable your application at any time.

Disputes

If anyone brings a claim against us related to your actions, content or information on NameStation, you will indemnify and hold us harmless from and against all damages, losses, and expenses of any kind (including reasonable legal fees and costs) related to such claim.
