Terms of Use

Semantic Substrate is a catalog of internet domain names held for sale by AnchorTrust. Everything on the site exists to describe those names and how to acquire them. It is a storefront, not a service.

Descriptions, framings, category essays, glossary entries, and the thesis are editorial content, produced with the assistance of AI tools and reviewed editorially. They describe how a name could be used and why we consider it well-positioned. They are not legal, financial, investment, or valuation advice, and no statement on this site is a representation about the value of any name, the future of any market, or the requirements of any law or standard. References to laws, regulations, standards, or industry practices are contextual color, may be paraphrased, and should be independently verified before you rely on them.

Company names, product names, standards bodies, and trademarks mentioned anywhere on this site belong to their respective owners. Mentioning them does not imply — and we expressly disclaim — any affiliation, endorsement, sponsorship, or approval. A domain name's resemblance to any term of art, brand, or standard is not a representation that the name may be used in any particular field or manner.

Listings are an invitation to inquire or make an offer — not a binding offer to sell. Availability, acquisition channel, and terms can change or be withdrawn at any time without notice, and listings may contain errors. A name shown as available may already be under negotiation or sold.

No offer, inquiry, or correspondence is binding on either party until a written purchase agreement is executed or a marketplace checkout is completed. Purchases completed through Afternic are governed by Afternic's own terms and processes. Direct sales close through a licensed third-party escrow service; we do not take direct payment for names.

Names are sold and transferred as-is, with no warranty of any kind beyond our representation that we control the name and have the right to sell it. You are solely responsible for trademark clearance and for the lawfulness of your intended use, in your industry and your jurisdictions.

Don't misuse the site: no unlawful use, no attempts to disrupt or gain unauthorized access, and no use of the inquiry or offer forms to transmit spam or unlawful content. The site's editorial content, structure, and design are owned by AnchorTrust; you may not reproduce them at scale or present them as your own.

The site is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. To the maximum extent permitted by law, AnchorTrust will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content. Our total liability for any claim relating to the site will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars; liability relating to a completed sale is governed by the applicable purchase agreement, not these terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of the state in which AnchorTrust Holdings LLC is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising from these terms or the site will be resolved in the state and federal courts located in that state, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

We may update these terms at any time; the date above reflects the current version. Continued use of the site after a change is acceptance of the revised terms.
