Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By registering for or using the ing.ng Free Domains service ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Service Description

ing.ng provides free subdomain registration under the ing.ng top-level domain. Users may register available subdomains for personal or commercial use, subject to these terms. The Service is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind.

3. User Responsibilities

• You must provide accurate registration information and keep it current.
• You are solely responsible for the content hosted on your subdomain.
• You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
• You may not use the Service to distribute malware, conduct phishing, or engage in illegal activity.
• You may not resell subdomains without explicit written permission.

4. Domain Registration and Renewal

Subdomains are registered for a period of up to 10 years. We reserve the right to set and modify registration periods, renewal policies, and domain limits at any time. Currently, each account may register up to 10 subdomains.

5. Premium Names — Nature of What You Receive

ing.ng is a subdomain of a .ng domain that we register and operate under the rules of the Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NiRA). A domain registration is a licensed privilege, not absolute property. Accordingly, when you purchase a premium subdomain you receive a lifetime, non-transferable license to use that subdomain — for as long as we continue to operate ing.ng as a registry — and not freehold ownership of the name.

"Lifetime" and "no renewal fees" mean we will not charge you a recurring fee to keep the name. They are conditional on the continued operation and registry status of the ing.ng apex domain. If the apex domain ceases to be available to us (for example, through a change in NiRA policy, a registry action, or events beyond our reasonable control), or if you breach these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, the license may end. Premium names that match third-party trademarks, government or regulatory bodies, or financial institutions are not offered for sale and may be reclaimed if mistakenly issued or subject to a dispute (including under the NiRA Dispute Resolution Policy). To the maximum extent permitted by law, a one-time premium payment is for the license described above and is non-refundable once the name is activated.

6. Acceptable Use

All users must comply with our Acceptable Use Policy. Violations may result in immediate suspension or termination of your subdomain and account.

7. Abuse Reporting

If you believe a subdomain is being used for illegal or abusive purposes, please report it via our abuse reporting form or email [email protected].

8. Limitation of Liability

ing.ng shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to the use of the Service. In no event shall our total liability exceed the amount paid by you (if any) for the Service.

9. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any account or subdomain at our sole discretion, with or without cause, and with or without notice.

10. Changes to Terms

We may modify these terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
