SimpleX Names Conditions of Use
You accept these Conditions of Use of SimpleX Names ("Names Conditions") by registering, receiving or extending a name in the .simplex namespace.
SimpleX names. A name is a record controlled by your key. The record can contain links to addresses in the SimpleX Network. "Community names" are marked in the registry as referring to specific communities, usually cities or territories.
Registry. The .simplex names registry is a set of contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. Name registrations, records, subnames and controlling addresses are stored in immutable contracts. Other contracts may be updated during a stabilization period, expected to last 12 to 24 months from the first registration.
What the registry allows.
- Changing the record of the name, creating subnames and transferring control of the name require your key.
- A name is registered for the period stored in the registry and can be extended until 90 days after that period ends, at the price set at the time of extension. Once the period ends, control of the name cannot be transferred.
You agree:
- not to use a name you control for fraud, to impersonate people or organizations, to store links to illegal content, or to knowingly infringe the rights of others, including trademarks;
- to use a community name you control to benefit that community, not as the brand of one person or business.
You are responsible for the names you control, their records and subnames. A name gives you no rights to the word itself, or to any word marks or other intellectual property.
Your key. Keep your key safe. If you lose your key, nobody can recover the key or control of the name, and nobody can reverse a transfer made with the key.
Public information. Everything in the registry is public with its history, including controlling addresses and acceptances of these Names Conditions.
Changes to the conditions. New versions of these Names Conditions are recorded in the registry. Each version applies to registrations, transfers and extensions made after it is recorded. A version that does not reduce your rights applies at once.
