1. Introduction
Welcome to Domain Gems, a Pickednames product. This Terms of Service agreement ("Agreement") governs your use of the Domain Gems website and services at pickednames.com/ and associated pages. By accessing or using the service, you agree to this Agreement.
2. Acceptance of Terms
This Agreement is effective from the date you first use our website. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the service. You must be at least 13 years old to use this service.
3. Changes to Terms
We may update this Agreement from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page. Continued use of the service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
4. Description of Service
Pickednames is an automated domain discovery tool. Each day, our pipeline fetches freshly dropped domain names from public registry sources, filters them using rule-based quality criteria, checks availability via RDAP, scores them using AI, and publishes the results as a browsable listing. Availability status is re-checked every 2 hours.
The service is provided free of charge. We may earn revenue through affiliate links to domain registrars.
5. No Ownership of Listed Domains
Pickednames does not own any of the domain names displayed on this website. We are not affiliated with any domain registrar unless explicitly stated. We do not hold, reserve, or have any claim over the domains listed. Any domain you see is freely available to register through any registrar of your choice.
6. Availability Accuracy
We verify domain availability via RDAP (the authoritative registry protocol) and re-check every 2 hours. However:
- Domain availability can change within seconds of our check
- We do not guarantee that any listed domain will be available when you attempt to register it
- RDAP propagation delays may occasionally cause stale results
- Always verify availability on your chosen registrar before completing a purchase
We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the accuracy or completeness of availability information.
7. AI Quality Scores
Some domains on this site carry an AI quality score. These scores are automated estimates only based on linguistic and structural analysis. They:
- Do not constitute professional domain appraisals
- Do not guarantee any resale or market value
- Should not be the sole basis for investment decisions
- May differ significantly from actual auction or sale prices
- Are provided for informational and comparative purposes only
Always conduct your own research before registering or investing in a domain name.
8. Affiliate Links
The "Register →" buttons on domain cards may be affiliate links. If you register a domain through one of these links, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This does not influence our domain listings — no registrar can pay to have domains listed or ranked higher.
9. No Automated Scraping
You may not use automated programs, bots, spiders, crawlers, or scrapers to systematically extract domain listings from this service. Our data is assembled at significant computational cost and is intended for human browsing. Systematic scraping is prohibited and may result in IP blocking.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Pickednames shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of this service, including but not limited to loss of profit from a domain registration decision, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
