Terms of use

Updated for this draft: 22 October 2026. Status: not approved by counsel. No office, team, address, or sales count is stated here.

Who does what

Buyer. The person who asks to buy a listed name, make an offer, or start a rent-to-own plan.
Seller. The person who controls a name and asks to list it, or the party that controls one of the catalog names.
Marketplace. Sleekdomains. We show the names and take requests. We do not charge a card, hold the purchase money, or register the name.
Registrar. The company where the name is registered. The registrar is the one that can move a name between accounts. Sleekdomains is not the registrar.
Escrow provider. A separate company that can hold funds during a sale. Escrow.com is the provider we researched. It is not connected. When checkout uses escrow, the buyer pays the escrow fee on top of the listed price. This site does not hold funds, insure a transfer, or guarantee one.

Using the site

You may browse the catalog and send a request. A buy-now, offer, rent-to-own, contact, or listing submission is a request to the marketplace. It is not a contract of sale, not a payment, and not a transfer.

Prices and fees

Asking prices and 24-month rent-to-own prices are the prices shown on each catalog name. The seller commission on a completed sale is 5%, deducted from the seller's proceeds. A seller whose first listing is submitted on or before January 31, 2027 (America/New_York) pays 0% on sales completed within 6 months of that listing's approval date, then 5%. A seller whose first listing is submitted after that date pays 5%. The 0% window does not start until that first listing is approved. The payout target is within 5 business days after the buyer's payment clears and the registrar transfer is confirmed. This is a target, not a guarantee. The Sleekdomains rent-to-own buyer fee is 0%. Fees: buyer pays escrow and card processing fees. The escrow fee is 2.6% with a $50 minimum (Escrow.com), and a card payment adds 3.05% (Escrow.com). Both are on top of the listed price. The seller receives the listed price minus the Sleekdomains commission. Buyer escrow and card fees sit on top of the listed price. Escrow is not connected, and this is not a guarantee. Card processing, about 2.9% + 30¢ per payment via Stripe, is added to each monthly payment. The listed monthly price does not include it. The amount is shown before the buyer agrees. A request does not charge a card. These figures are published on the pricing page. Counsel has not restated them as a binding fee schedule.

Checkout

Card checkout is not available. “Request purchase” does not charge a card. No payment provider is connected. Escrow.com is not connected. When checkout later uses escrow or a card, the buyer pays those fees on top of the listed price.

Names and trademarks

Trademark notes on catalog names are listing research, not a clearance and not a legal opinion. A buyer is responsible for a separate trademark search before using a name as a brand.

Not written yet

Limits on liability, the venue for a dispute, and how these terms can change are not written. Until counsel approves a replacement, do not treat this page as allocating risk among the buyer, the seller, and the marketplace.
