# Terms and Conditions

# Introduction
The Domains Project is a free subdomain program that allows users to register and use subdomains under the owns.it.com domain. By registering for and using a subdomain through the Domains Project, you agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions.

# Eligibility
The Domains Project is open to any individual or organization that agrees to these terms and conditions.

# Minimum Age Requirement
Participants in the Domains Project must be at least 18 years old. By registering for a subdomain, you confirm that you meet this age requirement.

# Subdomain Registration
Users may register for a subdomain by submitting a registration form through the Domains Project website or via a GitHub pull request. The Domains Project team reserves the right to approve or reject any subdomain registration at its discretion.

# NS Records Eligibility
Users are eligible to request **NS records** if they make any kind of donation to the Domains Project. However, eligibility does not guarantee approval, as the Domains Project team retains sole discretion over granting such requests.
- Users who already have an NS record prior to November 2024 are unaffected by this policy change.

# Use of Subdomains
Subdomains registered through the Domains Project may be used for any lawful purpose, provided that they do not infringe on the rights of any third party, or violate any applicable laws or regulations.

# Content Restrictions
Users are prohibited from using their subdomains to host or distribute any content that:
- Is illegal, defamatory, discriminatory, or promotes hate or violence.
- Contains adult content (e.g., pornography, explicit material, or any similar content).
- Is aimed specifically at individuals under the age of 18.

Subdomains found to violate these restrictions will be suspended or terminated.

# Legal Requests
If a legal request regarding a subdomain is sent to the Domains Project (e.g., court orders, copyright claims, or government notices), the user who registered the subdomain agrees to:
- Waive any claims or rights against the Domains Project related to the subdomain in question.
- Assume full responsibility for the content hosted on their subdomain and any associated legal consequences.

The Domains Project will cooperate with legal authorities and comply with applicable laws when responding to such requests.

# Reporting Domain Abuse
If you believe a subdomain is being used for abusive or unlawful purposes, please report it by creating an issue in our GitHub repository. Include all relevant details, such as the subdomain in question, the nature of the abuse, and any supporting evidence. The Domains Project will investigate all reports and take appropriate action as necessary.

# Public Suffix List (PSL)
The owns.it.com domain used in the Domains Project is registered with and listed on the Public Suffix List (PSL). This ensures that browsers and internet services treat these domains appropriately for security and isolation purposes. Subdomains registered through the program are considered distinct entities and are not automatically granted access to cookies or other resources associated with the parent domain. For more information on the PSL, visit [https://publicsuffix.org](https://publicsuffix.org).

# DNS Management
The Domains Project utilizes Cloudflare for DNS management, ensuring reliable and secure resolution of domain and subdomain queries. Cloudflare's services also include load balancing, proxy support, and protection against certain types of cyberattacks.

# Liability
The Domains Project is not liable for any damages arising from the use of the subdomains or the program. Users are solely responsible for ensuring that their use of the subdomains and the content hosted on them complies with all applicable laws and regulations.

# Term and Termination
The Domains Project is offered on a continuing basis, but reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the program at any time and for any reason, with or without notice.

# Governing Law
These terms and conditions are governed by the laws of the United Kingdom. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms and conditions or the use of the subdomains shall be resolved in the courts of the United Kingdom.

# Contact Information
In the event that you have any questions or concerns about the Domains Project or these terms and conditions, please create an issue in our GitHub repository.

# Privacy and Security
Users' email addresses are public as of writing. Email addresses used in the Domains Project may be publicly viewable on GitHub as part of the registration process. Additionally, IP addresses may be logged by our partner Cloudflare as part of load balancing and proxy support.

# Funding
The Domains Project is free for users but relies on donations to operate.

# Changes to Terms and Conditions
The Domains Project reserves the right to change these terms and conditions at any time, with or without notice. Users are responsible for reviewing these terms and conditions on a regular basis to ensure that they are aware of any changes.
