Summary
The version
in human words.
- 01You're renting a domain, not buying it. Title stays with the owner until you exercise a buyout.
- 02We don't lock you in. Cancel any time and the rental ends at the close of the current period.
- 03Don't use the domain to do illegal things, and don't squat. We can terminate for cause.
- 04If you exercise rent-to-own, the credited rental payments apply to the strike price, not on top of it.
- 05Disputes go to arbitration in Delaware. Class-action waiver applies, you can opt out within 30 days.
01/The Handshake
Acceptance
By creating an account, renting a domain, listing a domain, or otherwise using Luckiest, you (the "Customer") agree to be bound by this agreement (the "Terms") between you and Luckiest, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Luckiest", "we", "us").
If you're agreeing on behalf of a company, you represent that you have authority to do so, and "Customer" includes that company. You must be at least 18 years old to enter into the Terms.
02/The License
The rental
A rental is a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use a domain name (the "Domain") for the duration of an active subscription. You get full DNS control. You don't get title.
- Term
- Month-to-month or annual, renewing automatically until cancelled.
- Use
- Any lawful purpose. Pointing the domain at a website, app, or email is on you.
- Transfer
- You can't transfer the rental to another party without our written consent.
- Sublease
- Subleasing or reselling rental access is prohibited.
03/Money Flow
Billing & renewal
Subscriptions renew automatically on the anniversary of your start date. We send a renewal reminder seven days prior. Cancellation requests submitted before the renewal date stop the next charge.
How charges work
- Monthly plans bill in advance, on the same day each month.
- Annual plans bill the full term up front and unlock a 15% discount.
- Rent-to-own credits accrue at the rate disclosed on each listing.
- Failed payments trigger a 7-day grace period. After that, the rental suspends.
- All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, which we collect where required.
Refunds
We refund unused portions of an annual plan, prorated, if you cancel within the first 30 days. After that, annual plans are non-refundable. Monthly plans are non-refundable by definition.
04/Exit Doors
Cancellation & termination
You can cancel any rental from your dashboard at any time. The Domain remains active until the end of the current billing period, then returns to the marketplace. We will not retain your DNS records past the cancellation effective date.
Termination by Luckiest
We may suspend or terminate a rental for cause if you (i) materially breach the Acceptable Use Policy, (ii) fail to cure non-payment after the grace period, (iii) put Luckiest at imputed legal risk, or (iv) attempt to defraud us or another user.
We will give 30 days' notice for terminations not based on non-payment or AUP violations, and we will refund the prorated unused portion of any prepaid term.
05/Buyout Path
Rent-to-own
Where a listing displays a rent-to-own ("RTO") price, you may exercise the buyout at any time during an active rental. Mechanics:
- Credit
- A percentage of paid rent, disclosed per-listing, accrues against the strike price.
- Trigger
- Pay the remaining balance to exercise. Title transfers within 5 business days.
- Expiry
- If you cancel the rental, accrued credit forfeits. It doesn't carry over.
- Escrow
- Title transfers happen through an independent escrow service on RTO over $25,000.
Once title transfers, the Domain leaves the rental program. The Terms governing the rental terminate; the Acceptable Use Policy and standard registrar agreements continue to apply.
06/Ownership Lines
Intellectual property
Luckiest owns the marketplace, the brandability scoring, the dashboard, and all related software. The Domain itself belongs to the listed owner until you exercise an RTO.
Anything you publish on a rented Domain (your site, your content, your code) stays yours. We claim no ownership over user content beyond a narrow license to host and route it during the rental term.
07/No Warranties
Warranties & disclaimers
We run trademark screening on every listing. That screening is a preliminary signal, not legal advice. You're responsible for your own trademark clearance before launching a brand.
Except as expressly stated, Luckiest is provided "as is" and "as available". We disclaim all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement to the maximum extent permitted by law.
08/Liability Cap
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party shall be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of the Terms.
Luckiest's aggregate liability for any claim is capped at the fees paid by you in the twelve months preceding the claim. This cap applies in aggregate, not per claim.
09/Arbitration Path
Disputes
Any dispute arising under the Terms is resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in Wilmington, Delaware, under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules. The arbitration is conducted in English. Judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class waiver & opt-out
Each party waives the right to participate in a class action. You may opt out of this arbitration provision and class waiver by emailing get@luckiest.co within 30 days of first acceptance of the Terms.
10/Boilerplate Tail
Miscellaneous
- Governing law
- California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.
- Severability
- If a clause is unenforceable, the remainder survives.
- Assignment
- We can assign these Terms in a M&A; you can't, without our consent.
- Force majeure
- Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond reasonable control.
- Entire agreement
- The Terms supersede prior agreements on the same subject matter.
