We do not guarantee that your TLD application will be approved by ICANN. ICANN's evaluation process is independent and considers numerous factors beyond our control. Past success or consultations do not guarantee future results.
Our Services constitute general guidance and consultation only, not legal, financial, or technical advice. You should consult with qualified legal, financial, and technical professionals before making decisions regarding TLD applications.
Our ability to assist with TLD applications depends on ICANN's processes, timelines, and requirements, which are subject to change without notice. We are not responsible for changes in ICANN policies or procedures.
Laws, regulations, and industry standards governing TLD operations and domain registration are subject to change. We are not responsible for changes in regulatory requirements after consultation.
Financial projections, ROI calculations, and revenue estimates provided through our Services are based on assumptions and market conditions that may change. These projections should not be considered guarantees or promises of future performance.
Our Services may contain links to third-party websites (ICANN, registry operators, technical partners). We do not control these sites and are not responsible for their content, policies, or practices.
While we strive for high availability, we do not guarantee uninterrupted access to our Services. Maintenance, updates, or technical issues may temporarily affect availability.
Our Services typically begin with pre-application consulting and assessment. The formal ICANN application is a separate process that requires separate fees, documentation, and direct engagement with ICANN.
Consultation Fees: Charged for advisory services, assessments, and preparation assistance.
ICANN Application Fees: Paid directly to ICANN (currently $227,000 USD for new gTLD applications, subject to change).
Registry Service Fees: Paid to backend registry operators for ongoing TLD operation.
All fees are outlined in your service agreement and are subject to change with notice.
Consultation fees may be structured as:
ICANN application fees are typically paid in full upon submission.
Timeline estimates for TLD applications are based on historical ICANN rounds and are subject to change. The ICANN application process typically takes 12-24 months from initial inquiry to delegation, but this can vary significantly.
Clients must provide accurate and complete documentation, including:
ICANN conducts background checks, financial reviews, and technical evaluations. We assist in preparation but cannot control ICANN's evaluation outcomes.
TLD applicants must verify trademark rights for their desired strings. We assist in preliminary trademark searches but recommend comprehensive trademark clearance through qualified legal counsel.
During ICANN's application process, third parties may file objections based on:
