Terms of Service Agreement

1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These Terms of Service constitute a legally binding agreement ("Agreement") between you ("User," "you," or "your") and DropTimes ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") governing your use of the Service. By accessing, using, or registering for the Service, you expressly acknowledge and agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and any additional terms and conditions that may apply to specific features of the Service. Your continued use of the Service following the posting of any changes to these Terms constitutes acceptance of those changes.

2. SERVICE DESCRIPTION AND DISCLAIMERS

DropTimes operates as an information service provider that aggregates, processes, and disseminates publicly available domain registration data and related information. The Service provides domain tracking capabilities, drop time estimates, and domain availability information for informational purposes only. We expressly disclaim any representation or warranty regarding the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any information provided through the Service.

CRITICAL DISCLAIMER: DropTimes functions solely as an information aggregator and dissemination platform. We do not register, transfer, or manage domain names on behalf of users. We do not guarantee the availability of any domain name at any specific time. Domain registration processes are subject to numerous external factors beyond our control, including but not limited to registrar policies, technical issues, network delays, and third-party actions.

3. NO GUARANTEES REGARDING DOMAIN AVAILABILITY OR NOTIFICATIONS

ABSOLUTE DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY: DropTimes explicitly disclaims any responsibility, liability, or obligation whatsoever for:

• Any domain names that become unavailable or are registered by third parties before you attempt to register them
• Delays, failures, or inaccuracies in drop time predictions or notifications
• Missed notifications, technical failures, or system outages affecting notification delivery
• Any financial losses, business opportunities lost, or damages resulting from reliance on our information
• Discrepancies between predicted drop times and actual domain availability
• Third-party actions that prevent successful domain registration
• Network issues, server downtime, or technical problems affecting service availability

INFORMATION SERVICE ONLY: You acknowledge and agree that DropTimes operates exclusively as an information service provider. We are not a domain registrar, domain broker, or domain management service. Any decisions made based on information provided through our Service are made entirely at your own risk and discretion.
