Terms of Service

DNS Lister - Terms of Service Last updated: 3 August 2026 1. WHAT THIS SERVICE IS DNS Lister helps you come up with domain name ideas and check whether they appear to be available to register. It generates candidate names from word lists, checks them against public DNS and RDAP sources, and scores them so you can compare them. DNS Lister does not sell, register, transfer, or manage domain names. When you decide to register a name, you do that with a registrar, under that registrar's own terms. We are not a party to that transaction. 2. AVAILABILITY INFORMATION IS NOT A GUARANTEE Please read this section carefully, because it is the one most likely to matter to you. Availability results are our best effort, not a promise. They come from public DNS and RDAP lookups, and results are cached for a period to keep the service fast and to avoid overloading the sources we query. This means a name shown as available may already be taken, may be reserved, may be a premium name with a higher price, or may become unavailable between the moment we check and the moment you try to register it. You must confirm availability and price with a registrar before relying on it. Do not make a purchase, business, or branding decision on the basis of what this site shows you without checking first. 3. YOUR ACCOUNT You need an account for some features. You are responsible for keeping your password secure and for activity that happens under your account. Tell us promptly if you believe someone else is using it. Give us an email address you can actually receive mail at. We use it for things like password resets and confirming your address. We may also send occasional product news, but only if you have opted in, and you can change that at any time in Settings. 4. ACCEPTABLE USE Use the service in a way that does not spoil it for anyone else. Specifically, do not: automate requests beyond what the interface and any published rate limits allow; attempt to scrape the site wholesale; try to gain access to accounts, data, or systems that are not yours; use the service to plan or carry out anything unlawful; or deliberately overload the checking infrastructure. We may apply rate limits, and may suspend or close an account that is damaging the service for others. 5. YOUR CONTENT Word lists, favorites, notes, and searches you create remain yours. You keep ownership of them. You grant us only the permission we need to operate the service: to store your content, process it to produce results for you, and back it up. We do not claim ownership, and we do not sell it. If you mark something as public or share it deliberately, other people will be able to see it. Content you have not shared stays private to your account. 6. PREMIUM AND LIFETIME ACCESS Some features require a paid plan. Where a plan is described as "lifetime", that means for as long as the service continues to operate. It does not mean the service is guaranteed to operate forever, and no one can honestly promise that. If we ever have to shut the service down, we will give reasonable notice and a way to export your own data. 7. TRADEMARKS ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY A domain name being technically available does not mean you are free to use it. A name may be someone else's trademark, or otherwise legally restricted, in your country or elsewhere. We do not check trademarks, and generating a name is not advice that you may use it. Doing that research is your responsibility before you build a brand on a name. If you are a rights holder and want a term excluded from what we generate, see the Trademark and Piracy Opt-Out page. 8. PRIVACY AND DATA We store what we need to run the service: your account details, the content you create, and technical records such as IP address, browser user agent, and request details at the time you sign up and when you download data. These exist for security, abuse prevention, and support. We do not sell your personal data. 9. NO WARRANTY The service is provided as is and as available. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error free, or that any result it produces is accurate or complete. See section 2 in particular. 10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for lost profits or business, or for a domain name you did not manage to register. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you have paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or to a nominal amount if you have paid us nothing. Nothing here is intended to exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. 11. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS We may update these terms. When we do, we publish a new version rather than editing the old one, and we keep a record of which version you agreed to and when. The current version is always shown at /terms. If a change is significant, we will ask you to agree again before you carry on using the service. 12. ENDING YOUR ACCOUNT You can stop using the service at any time and ask us to close your account. We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms, or where we are required to. 13. CONTACT AND GOVERNING LAW Questions about these terms: use the Contact page. These terms are governed by the laws of [JURISDICTION TO BE COMPLETED], and the courts of that place will have jurisdiction over any dispute.
