Terms of Use

 

1. What this site is

sitedomains.net is a free reference site for domain names. We collect information about which domains have been deleted, which will soon be released and which are available, process it and make it available through lists, individual pages and an API.

These terms govern the use of the service.
The operator is Tilo Kaschube, Grundstraße 137
01326 Dresden
Deutschland, Germany.

2. Where the data comes from

The information shown originates from publicly accessible registry sources, in particular:

  • zone files obtained through ICANN’s Centralized Zone Data Service (CZDS),
  • Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) queries to the responsible registry,
  • deletion and release lists published by individual registries,
  • our own analyses and metrics derived from these sources.

We do not process registrant data. Details are set out in the privacy policy.

3. No warranty as to accuracy, completeness or availability

The data is collected automatically and refreshed at intervals. Between the last refresh and your visit, the status of a domain may have changed. Registries also publish information at different speeds, with differing completeness and occasionally with errors.

We therefore give no warranty that the information shown is accurate, complete or up to date. In particular, an indication that a domain is “available” or will “be released on …” is not an assurance that it can actually be registered at that time. At the moment of the drop, several interested parties and specialised services frequently compete for the same domain.

There is likewise no entitlement to continuous availability of the service. Maintenance, faults and changes to the range of functions are possible at any time; individual functions may be discontinued without notice.

4. No legal advice

The content of this site is general information and not legal advice. This applies in particular to trade mark questions: we do not and cannot check whether registering or using a particular domain name infringes trade mark, name or competition rights of third parties (for example under Section 14 of the German Trade Mark Act or Section 12 of the German Civil Code). A domain listed here as available may nonetheless not be legally free to use.

Before registering a name that resembles an existing trade mark or name, you should seek expert advice.

5. We are not a party to the registration contract

Domains cannot be registered with us. We link to registrars and providers where registration is possible. The registration contract is concluded exclusively between the user and the respective provider, on that provider’s terms and at its prices.

We are not a party to that contract and are liable neither for its conclusion nor for its performance, in particular not for prices, contract terms, notice periods, the success of a registration or the provider’s services. Complaints must be addressed to the respective provider.

Some of these links are advertising links. Details are set out in the advertising and affiliate disclosure, which also forms part of these terms.

6. Permitted use

Use of the service for your own research is free. The following are not permitted:

  • automated extraction of the inventory via the web pages (scraping) outside the API provided for that purpose,
  • circumventing or defeating the rate limit,
  • queries at a frequency that impairs operation,
  • systematic extraction of substantial parts of the database; the compilation is protected as a database under Sections 87a et seq. of the German Copyright Act,
  • use of the data for unsolicited advertising or for attempts to identify or contact domain holders.

We may block access in the event of violations.

7. API

The public API may be used within the published limits. Limits, scope and format may change. There is no entitlement to availability, to a particular response time or to backward compatibility.

8. Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence as well as for injury to life, body or health. We are likewise liable under the German Product Liability Act and to the extent of any guarantee assumed.

In cases of slight negligence we are liable only where a duty is breached whose fulfilment makes proper performance possible in the first place and on whose observance a user may rely (material contractual duty). In such cases liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract.

Any further liability is excluded. This applies in particular to damage arising because someone relied on information on this site and failed to register a domain, registered it too late or attempted to register it in vain.

9. Third-party content

The providers of linked third-party sites are responsible for their content. We do not adopt such content as our own. Details are set out in the legal notice.

10. Costs

Use of this service is free of charge. No fee is charged, there is no subscription and no payment obligation arises. Should a paid offering be added in future, it will be governed by separate terms including price information and, towards consumers, a withdrawal notice. These will be provided expressly before any contract is concluded.

11. Consumer dispute resolution

We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (Section 36 VSBG). The European Online Dispute Resolution platform was shut down on 20 July 2025.

12. Changes to these terms

We may amend these terms when the service or the legal situation changes. The version published at the time of use applies.

13. Governing law

German law applies. Towards consumers this applies only insofar as it does not deprive them of the protection afforded by the mandatory provisions of the country in which they have their habitual residence (Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 – Rome I).
