Terms of Service
Last updated: [DATE]
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of NamedRight.com (the "Site") and the services offered through it, operated by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] ("Named Right," "we," "us"). By using the Site or purchasing a service, you agree to these Terms.
1. The services
Named Right provides naming consultancy services, including:
- The Name Evaluation — a written assessment of a business name across weighted factors, delivered as a report.
- Full Naming Engagement — development and vetting of name candidates with a final recommendation.
- Name + Domain Acquisition — appraisal and negotiation services for acquiring domain names on a client's behalf.
- Domain sales — sale of domain names from our portfolio.
Specific scope, pricing, and turnaround for each engagement are stated at purchase or in a written engagement confirmation, which together with these Terms forms the agreement between us.
2. Not legal, financial, or trademark advice
Important: Named Right is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Any trademark review included in our services is a preliminary "knockout" search intended to catch obvious conflicts — it is not a legal clearance, a registrability opinion, or a substitute for advice from a qualified trademark attorney. Engage counsel before making significant brand investments.
Domain valuations and acquisition estimates are professional opinions based on comparable sales and market experience. They are not guarantees of value, availability, or price.
3. The Name Scanner
The free Name Scanner on our homepage is an instant, automated heuristic provided for general informational purposes. It evaluates surface characteristics only, runs entirely in your browser, and its scores and verdicts carry no warranty of accuracy or fitness for any purpose. It is not a substitute for a professional evaluation.
4. Payment and refunds
- Fees are stated in U.S. dollars and payable in advance unless otherwise agreed in writing.
- Name Evaluation fees are non-refundable once work has begun.
- Naming Engagement fees are payable [50% to begin, 50% on delivery].
- Acquisition engagements: our fee structure is stated in the engagement confirmation. Funds for domain purchases are handled through a licensed escrow service; we never take custody of your purchase funds.
5. Deliverables and intellectual property
Upon full payment, you own the deliverables we prepare for you (reports, candidate lists, recommendations) and may use any name we recommend without further obligation to us. Named Right retains ownership of its methods, scoring frameworks, templates, and know-how. We may not reuse or disclose your confidential deliverables, and you may not resell or republish our reports as your own work product.
We cannot and do not guarantee that any recommended name is free of third-party rights, or that any candidate name or domain will remain available between the date of our report and the date you act on it. Availability changes daily; secure recommendations promptly.
6. Domain sales
Domains sold from our portfolio are sold as-is. Transfer occurs after cleared payment, normally via a licensed escrow service. Risk and control pass to you upon transfer at the registrar level. You are responsible for renewals, registrar account security, and lawful use after transfer.
7. Client responsibilities
You agree to provide accurate information in intake questionnaires and discovery sessions; our work product depends on it. You are responsible for final decisions about names, trademarks, and purchases, and for obtaining legal clearance where appropriate.
8. Confidentiality
We treat your business plans, candidate names, and engagement details as confidential and do not disclose them except as needed to deliver the service or as required by law. With your permission, we may reference anonymized or approved engagement results in our marketing.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Named Right's total liability arising from any service or use of the Site is limited to the fees you paid for the service giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost opportunities, rebranding costs, or trademark disputes.
10. Disputes and governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [STATE] , without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in [COUNTY, STATE] , and you consent to their jurisdiction.
11. Changes
We may update these Terms from time to time. The version posted on this page, with its "last updated" date, governs. Material changes to an active engagement will be agreed in writing.
