Legal
Terms of Service
Effective date: April 6, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of sourdough.ai (the "Site"), operated by Sourdough AI LLC ("Sourdough," "we," "our," or "us"), a limited liability company registered in the State of California. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. About Our Services
Sourdough AI LLC is a domain name acquisition company focused on .ai domains. Our services include:
- Providing educational resources, market data, and analysis about the .ai domain aftermarket.
- Free tools to score and evaluate .ai domain names, calculate holding costs, and generate name variations.
- A contact channel through which domain owners may inquire about selling their .ai domain names to us.
- Opt-in email communications with .ai domain market intelligence and deal alerts.
We acquire .ai domains for our own portfolio. We are a buyer, not a broker — we do not list or resell domains on behalf of third parties and do not charge seller commissions.
2. Site Use and Conduct
You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You must not:
- Use the Site in any way that violates applicable federal, state, or local laws or regulations.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site or its infrastructure.
- Use automated scripts, bots, or scraping tools to extract data from the Site without our written permission.
- Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information through the contact form or any Site feature.
- Interfere with the proper functioning of the Site or impose an unreasonable load on our infrastructure.
- Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.
3. Free Tools — Informational Use Only
The domain appraisal tool, holding cost calculator, name generator, and any other scoring or evaluation tools on the Site are provided for informational purposes only. They are not appraisals, valuations, or financial advice.
Scores, tier labels (Premium, High, Mid, Low), and any computed estimates are based on algorithmic heuristics applied to general market patterns. They do not constitute a guarantee, representation, or warranty about the actual market value, salability, or price of any domain name.
Do not rely solely on our tools to make buying, selling, or holding decisions. Market conditions change and individual domain outcomes vary substantially.
4. Market Data and Content
Market data, sales figures, trend analysis, and editorial content published on the Site are provided for general informational purposes. While we strive for accuracy, we make no representations or warranties that any data is complete, current, or error-free.
Nothing on this Site constitutes investment advice, financial advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell any domain name or other asset.
5. Domain Acquisition — Offers and Negotiations
If you submit a domain name through our contact form or respond to an outreach from us, you understand and agree that:
- Any interest expressed by us — verbally, in writing, or via email — does not constitute a binding offer or contract until a written purchase agreement is signed by both parties.
- We are under no obligation to make an offer on any domain you submit.
- You represent that you are the lawful owner of any domain you offer for sale, or that you have authority to act on behalf of the owner.
- Completed domain transactions are typically conducted through a third-party escrow service (such as Escrow.com) or an established domain marketplace. The terms of those platforms govern the transaction itself.
- We are not responsible for any fees charged by escrow providers or domain marketplaces.
6. Email Communications
By voluntarily providing your email address on the Site, you consent to receive email communications from Sourdough AI LLC, including market intelligence reports and deal alerts.
You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email we send, or by emailing hello@sourdough.ai with "Unsubscribe" in the subject line. We will process your request promptly.

12. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Site shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California. You consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts and waive any objection to venue.
