Terms of Service

NamingOwl is operated by Blue Mango Ventures Inc. (“we”, “us”). By creating an account or using the site you agree to these terms. We have kept them short and readable, but they are a real agreement, so the parts that limit what you can expect from us are written plainly rather than hidden.

What NamingOwl does

You describe what you are building. Ten AI owls, each powered by a language model, invent name ideas for it. We check each one against public domain records, judge and rank the ones that look free to register, and give you a podium of names with the reasons behind every score, and a deeper appraisal of any name you ask about.

That is the whole product. We are not a domain registrar, a law firm, or a valuation service, and the next three sections explain exactly what that means for you.

Availability is a snapshot, not a reservation

When we say a domain looks available, we mean that at the moment we checked, public DNS and the registry’s own records showed nothing registered. That is the best signal anyone can get without buying the name, and it is still only a snapshot.

• A domain can be registered by somebody else seconds after we check it, including while you are still reading the list.
• Registry data can be delayed, incomplete, or temporarily unreachable. Some names are reserved, premium priced, or restricted in ways that are invisible to a public lookup.
• We cannot hold, reserve, or register a name for you. Nothing on NamingOwl gives you any claim to a domain. The registrar you buy from is the only place that decides.

Always confirm at a registrar before you commit. We are not liable if a name we showed as available turns out to be taken, restricted, or priced differently than you expected.

We do not check trademarks, and we do not give legal advice

NamingOwl checks domain availability only. A name being suggested, or its domain being available, does not mean the name is free of trademark or other rights. You are responsible for trademark and legal checks before using a name. NamingOwl is not liable for any conflict arising from a name you choose.

An appraisal of a name includes a section about trademark risk. It is an AI model’s impression based on how common and how distinctive the words look. It is not a trademark search, it does not touch any trademark register, and it is not legal advice.

Before you use a name commercially, have a proper clearance search done, by a lawyer or a professional search service, in every country where you plan to trade. A “low risk” label from us is an opinion, not a clearance.

Scores and appraisals are opinions

Scores, labels, and written assessments are generated by a language model to help you compare options quickly. They are not valuations, not professional advice, and not a prediction of what a name is worth or how a business using it will perform. Two runs can disagree. Treat them as a second opinion, not a verdict.

The names themselves

We do not claim ownership of any name we suggest, and we do not grant you rights in one either. Rights in a name come from registering the domain and from how you use the name in your market, never from us.

Suggestions are not exclusive to you. The same or a very similar name can be generated for another user, and any name may already be in use by somebody we have no way of knowing about. You are responsible for deciding whether a name is safe for you to adopt.

Your account

You must be at least 16 years old, or have permission from a parent or guardian. You sign in with a code we email you, so use a real address you can receive mail at, and keep its inbox to yourself. Accounts are for one person; sharing them is not allowed.

Your content

The project descriptions and notes you write stay yours. You give us a limited licence to store and process them so we can run the service for you: send them to our AI providers to invent, judge and appraise names, and keep your project so you can come back to it.

We do not sell your content and we do not use it to train AI models. Our AI providers process it only to answer our requests.

Fair use of the service

• Do not use bots, scripts, or scraping to pull names out of NamingOwl, and do not resell or repackage our output as a competing naming service.
• Do not try to get around the limits of what a project includes, rate limits, or the bot check, including by creating extra accounts.
• Do not use NamingOwl to build something illegal, hateful, deceptive, or designed to impersonate an existing brand.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these rules. If we close your account for a reason other than a breach, we will refund the projects you paid for and have not started.

Projects and payment

You pay once per naming project, or once for a pack of projects, before its first run starts. There is no subscription. What a project includes is described on our home page at the time you buy it: one full run, a free re-run, and a number of appraisals. Prices are shown in your local currency where we offer one, and the price at checkout is the full amount you pay: we add no tax or fees on top. Payments are handled by Stripe, who store the card details. We never see your card number.

A run that stops before its podium, or ranks fewer than 50 names, does not use up a run of your project, so you can start it again. Projects you have paid for and not started do not expire. Fees already paid are not refundable except where the law says otherwise. We may change prices and what a new project includes; projects you have already bought keep what they were sold with.

Where the law gives you the right to cancel a purchase within 14 days, as in the EU and the UK: when you pay, you ask us to start your run right away, and you confirm that you give up that right once it has started.

The service is provided as is

We work hard to keep NamingOwl running and accurate, but we provide it “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including that the service will be uninterrupted or error free, that availability results will be correct, that any name will still be free when you go to register it, or that a name will be suitable, original, or safe to use.

We depend on services we do not control, including our AI providers, domain registries, and our hosting and network providers. When one of them is slow, wrong, or down, NamingOwl can be too.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses, or for lost profits, lost business, lost opportunities, or the cost of rebranding. That includes, to be concrete about it, a domain being registered by somebody else before you got to it, a trademark dispute over a name you found here, and any decision you made in reliance on a score or an appraisal.

For everything else, our total liability to you for all claims together is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or fifty US dollars.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. If you are a consumer, you keep every right your local consumer law gives you, and nothing here takes those away.

You cover us for how you use a name

If somebody brings a claim against us because of how you used a name you found on NamingOwl, or because you broke these terms, you agree to cover our reasonable costs in dealing with it.

Changes and endings

We may update the service and these terms. When a change matters, we will update the date at the top and, where it affects you materially, tell you by email. Continuing to use NamingOwl after that means you accept the new version.

You can delete your account at any time from Billing. That erases your projects for good, and projects you paid for and have not started go with it, without a refund. If part of these terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still applies.

Which law applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, and disputes go to the courts of British Columbia. If you are a consumer in the EU, the UK, or anywhere else with mandatory local protections, this does not deprive you of the protection of your own country’s law or of your right to bring a claim there.
