# Terms of service > Wardmint terms of service: defensive domains for crypto projects, a prepaid crypto balance, the same price at renewal and an optional Domain protection. - URL: https://wardmint.com/legal/terms/ - Last updated: 2026-11-12 - Publisher: Wardmint (https://wardmint.com) The contract between you and DomaineGoat LLC for the services of Wardmint, in numbered sections. **Quick answer — What do the Wardmint terms say, in short?** Under these terms of 12 November 2026, you pay for defensive domains from a prepaid crypto balance (minimum top-up $25), the price stays the same every year, and you can move a domain away with a free transfer code. **Wardmint** has no KYC: one verified email per domain, no ID. ## 1. Who we are Wardmint is operated by **DomaineGoat LLC**, a company incorporated in Panama. In these terms, "we" means DomaineGoat LLC and "you" means the holder of the account. The terms cover wardmint.com and its client area. DomaineGoat LLC is not an ICANN-accredited registrar. Domains are registered through our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, so every domain is subject to ICANN rules. A top-up or an order means that you accept these terms, the [acceptable use policy](https://wardmint.com/acceptable-use/ "Wardmint acceptable use policy") and the [privacy policy](https://wardmint.com/legal/privacy/ "Wardmint privacy policy"). ## 2. What the service includes Wardmint provides: - registration of domains in the 29 extensions on the [pricing page](https://wardmint.com/pricing/ "Wardmint domain prices"), with a bulk search of up to 50 names and one cart; - renewal by hand, or automatic renewal from your balance, switched on or off for each domain; - transfers in and out; - DNS: free DNS hosting with A, AAAA, CNAME, ALIAS, MX, TXT, NS, SRV and CAA records, managed DNSSEC, and your own nameservers if you prefer (2 to 13); - defensive tools: a "no email" DNS template (null MX, SPF -all, DMARC p=reject) so a defensive domain cannot be used to spoof your mail, free URL forwarding to send every variant to your main site, and automatic renewal from your balance so no variant lapses; - free WHOIS privacy wherever the registry allows it; - the Domain protection option (section 7). Each registry sets rules for its own extension, and they bind your domain too. A .ai, for example, is sold two years at a time. ## 3. Identity, email and your account We ask for no identity document, no selfie and no ID number. Unless you add Domain protection, you are the registrant of record of each domain you buy. Every domain needs one working email address, which must be verified. Note that the registrant email is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require (within 15 days). A domain whose address is not verified can be suspended until it is. The address is the only contact data we collect, and it is kept private. You are responsible for what happens under your account, and for the safety of its credentials. We never ask for your password, your account number or your domain transfer (EPP) codes by email or chat. ## 4. Prices and payment Prices are in US dollars per year. A .com costs $12.49/year, and the price is the same to register, renew and transfer. A price can change for future orders, but a term you have paid keeps the price you paid. We accept crypto only: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. Orders are paid from a prepaid balance, and each top-up is at least $25. Send the exact amount shown, on the network shown, then click I've sent the payment. The payment is matched by its exact amount and credited once confirmed. **Balance rule.** Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers. When a purchase costs less than the minimum top-up, the part added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request to support within 30 days of the payment, in USDT or USDC, as long as it has not been spent. The rest of the balance is not paid back, except where the law requires it. ## 5. Registration, renewal and expiry A domain is registered usually within minutes of the top-up being credited. If a domain cannot be registered, if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, refused by the registry), the full amount goes back to your balance. A domain runs for the term you paid. Automatic renewal needs enough balance on the renewal date; if the balance is short, the renewal does not happen and the domain can expire. After expiry, the registry applies its own grace and redemption periods, and some registries charge a restore fee. Keep a reserve on your balance for the renewals you have switched on. ## 6. Transfers You may move any domain to another registrar. The transfer (EPP) code is free, requested from the client area, and leaving costs nothing. Switch off the transfer lock first, in the client area. ICANN and registry rules can block a move for a period after a registration or a previous transfer. While a UDRP case runs, the locked domain stays where it is. A transfer in costs the renewal price of the extension. ## 7. Domain protection Domain protection costs +$29 per year and per domain, on top of the price of the domain. With it: - **DomaineGoat LLC is the registrant of record.** You are the beneficiary and keep managing DNS, nameservers and renewals. - **The hand-back is free.** On request, we make you the registrant of the domain in your own name. - **The transfer code stays free**, so you can leave for another registrar. - **The transfer lock is on.** - **Minimal data.** DomaineGoat LLC holds only your email. - **A person reads every complaint** before any action on the domain. This review exists only with the option. The option does not exempt a domain from the acceptable use policy. In a UDRP case, the complaint names DomaineGoat LLC as registrant, and the panel's decision is carried out. The page [What is Domain protection](https://wardmint.com/domain-protection/ "What is Domain protection for a brand's domains?") gives the detail. ## 8. Acceptable use and disputes The acceptable use policy applies to every domain. Phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims lead to action within 24 hours of a well-documented report, and child sexual abuse material is handled immediately, with a report to the competent hotline or authority. A trademark dispute goes through the UDRP, and the domain is locked within 2 business days of a request from a UDRP provider. A copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaint leads to no action on the complaint alone; it takes a decision that binds us. Reports go to abuse@wardmint.com, as described on the [abuse page](https://wardmint.com/abuse/ "How do I report abuse on a Wardmint domain?"). We may suspend or cancel a domain that breaks the policy, or that a court or a UDRP panel orders us to act on. ## 9. What we do not provide Wardmint sells registrations. We do not provide brand monitoring, takedown services or a registry lock, and we do not register look-alikes of another brand. We cannot promise that a domain will stop phishing, or that a name will be available when you order it. We do not promise a registration delay beyond the usual one stated above. To the extent the law allows, our liability for a service is limited to the amount you paid for it. ## 10. Your data We release the data we hold only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case. The privacy policy lists what we collect and who receives it. ## 11. Changes and contact These terms change when ICANN rules, registry rules or our services change. The date at the top shows the version in force, and a term you have already paid is not changed against you. Support: support@wardmint.com (email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week, including help with DNSSEC, CAA records and abuse reports). Abuse reports: abuse@wardmint.com. See the [contact page](https://wardmint.com/contact/ "Contact Wardmint"). --- Wardmint: Wardmint registers the defensive domains a crypto project needs — its own name across the extensions phishers use, its own typo and look-alike variants — paid in crypto with no KYC: no ID, only one verified email per domain. It is run by DomaineGoat LLC, a company registered in Panama; domains are registered through its ICANN-accredited registrar partner. A .com costs $12.49/year, the same price every year.
