Elevating your status to a Dotme user necessitates compliance with specific prerequisites. Users must be a minimum of 18 years old to create an account.

The onus of account management rests solely upon the user, with an imperative obligation to align their actions with all pertinent laws and these Terms. By embarking on the journey of creating an account, users affirm their age of majority and legal capacity to engage in this contractual arrangement. Up-to-date and accurate account information is requisite, with users mandated to promptly rectify any alterations. Should you be wielding Dotme as an instrument for business or another individual, you must be vested with the requisite authority.
The safeguarding of account security lies within the user’s purview, rendering it prohibited to share login credentials. In instances of suspected unauthorized access, swift contact with our support is imperative.

The choice of a username holds significance and must adhere to standards befitting a diverse audience while respecting the rights of all stakeholders. Names belonging to third parties, including celebrities, brands, or companies, offensive or obscene usernames, and registrations solely intended for speculative gain, a practice commonly referred to as “Domain Squatting,” are prohibited. In the eventuality of such username-related concerns, we will assess the circumstances judiciously and may require a username change. Non-compliance may result in account suspension or termination. If a third party asserts that your username infringes upon their intellectual property rights, they must submit an Intellectual Property report, granting you the opportunity to issue a Counter Notice. Furthermore, inactivity of an account for six consecutive months, characterized by no logins, link creations, or traffic, may prompt consideration for username reclamation or reassignment, with prior user notification.
Dotme champions diversity in content sharing while maintaining a haven of safety and inclusivity for all users. Aspiring content creators are encouraged to adhere to our Community Standards, as any deviation from these standards may culminate in account suspension or permanent removal.

Content sharing on Dotme endows us with a license encompassing the use, public display, distribution, modification, adaptation, and creation of derivative works from your content. Furthermore, you extend to us the right to employ your name, image, voice, photograph, likeness, and other personal attributes intrinsic to your content for promotional and marketing purposes, both within the platform and across diverse media channels.

The cancellation mechanism is accessible through the billing page, with payments deemed non-refundable as a standard policy. Exceptions may be contemplated in instances of subscription cancellation within 72 hours of initiation (please direct inquiries to the support email).
