(the “Registry”) has created this document to set forth the Registration Terms and Conditions concerning the registration of second level domains in the .earth Top-Level Domain (“TLD”). These Terms and Conditions supplement the agreement between you, the “Registrant” and the ICANN Accredited Registrar (“Registrar”) used to register a .earth domain name.
The .earth Top-Level Domain (TLD) is a new Internet extension developed for all Internet users. The .earth TLD is all about connecting and establishing cooperative relationships between individuals and organizations that wish to show their support for making Earth a better place. By registering a domain in the .earth TLD, Registrants voluntarily pledge to become ambassadors for Earth and do away with actions that harm Earth and its inhabitants. The Registry’s intent is to operate a TLD that can be used by individuals, organizations and businesses to create easily identifiable websites for sharing information, collaborating in local communities and forums, promoting goods and services and other innovative platforms for the betterment of Earth and society.
Registrations for domain names are subject to Registry Policies, and ICANN related policies, procedures, and requirements. The Registry’s policy documents (“Registry Policies”) can be found on the Registry Operator’s website (“Registry Website”) at http://nic.earth and other TLD-specific URL directed from such website.

Domain names can be registered for one (1) year to ten (10) years as long as the total number of registration years does not exceed ten (10) years.
This document is subject to updates and changes from time to time as Registry sees fit. Any and all changes or updates to this policy will be in effect at the time they are published on the Registry Website. This policy has been prepared in the English language; however, Registry Operator may translate this policy in other languages as determined necessary. In the event of any inconsistency, the English language version shall apply.
