Terms & Conditions

Registering a Domain

Register a .uk domain with BM Domains and that registration is made directly with Nominet, the official registry for .uk names. In this arrangement, BM Domains serves as your registrar and administrative contact.

Rather than sitting under BM Domains, the name is registered under your own details. Making sure the information provided at registration is accurate is your responsibility.

A registration gives you the right to use the name for the period you have paid for, and no longer. Renewing on time is what keeps it active. Leave a name unrenewed and it may enter a suspension period, after which it could eventually be released for others to register.

What It Costs

Registering or renewing a .uk domain usually costs £10 per year with us. Should this price ever change, we will let customers know before the change takes effect. Transferring a domain to a different registrar is free of charge.

Renewing Your Domain

Making sure a domain is renewed before it expires rests with the customer. To help, we send reminders ahead of the expiry date where we are able to — typically about 30 days beforehand, and again roughly 7 days before.

While we always aim to send these reminders, we cannot guarantee every one will arrive, so please keep your contact details current to give yourself the best chance of receiving them.

Domain Transfer

In line with Nominet’s transfer rules, you are free to move your domain to another registrar whenever you wish. Transferring a domain name away from us costs nothing.

Our Liability

BM Domains cannot be held responsible for loss or damage arising from a domain not being renewed, from service interruptions caused by third parties, or from action Nominet takes under its own policies. Where any liability does fall to us, it is limited to the fees paid for the domain in question.

Resolving Disputes

Disputes and complaints concerning .uk registrations are handled through Nominet’s Dispute Resolution Service (DRS), under its rules and procedures. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.
