1. Description of Service

Domain Prospector is an AI-powered platform that aggregates data on expired and auction-listed domain names and provides analysis, scoring, alerts, and investment intelligence to subscribers. We do not sell, register, or broker domain names ourselves. All domain transactions occur on third-party platforms such as GoDaddy Auctions.

  • You must provide accurate registration information and keep it up to date.
  • You are responsible for maintaining the security of your password and account.
  • You must notify us immediately at legal@domainprospector.net if you suspect unauthorised access.
  • One person or legal entity may not maintain more than one free account.

4. Credits and Subscriptions

The Service operates on a credit system. Credits are consumed when you use premium features including domain detail views, AI analysis, enrichment, and exports.

4.1 Subscriptions

Paid subscription plans (Starter, Pro) are billed monthly via Stripe. Subscription fees are charged at the start of each billing period and are non-refundable except as required by applicable law. You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

They do not constitute financial, legal, or investment advice. AI outputs may contain errors or inaccuracies. You are solely responsible for any decisions you make based on information obtained through the Service. We strongly recommend independent due diligence before acquiring any domain name.
