These Terms and Conditions ("Agreement") govern the use of services provided by Smart Tech Messaging Ltd, trading as Apiregistrar ("Apiregistrar", "we", "us", or "our"), a company registered under the laws of the United Kingdom with its principal place of business at 128 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX.
By creating an account, requesting API access, or using our services in any way, you ("Client", "you", or "your") confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy. If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind such entity to this Agreement.
If you do not agree to these terms, you must not use our services.
Apiregistrar operates as a domain reseller platform designed to integrate seamlessly with various software and SaaS systems. We connect to multiple domain registrars, allowing us to dynamically select the most cost-effective option for each domain transaction. Our services are provided exclusively through an API, offering a streamlined experience for clients to manage domain registrations, renewals, and related tasks.
Our clients benefit from a flexible and scalable infrastructure that automates domain provisioning, while ensuring compliance with industry standards. We maintain strong upstream relationships to deliver stable, secure, and high-availability services globally.
Our services are intended exclusively for business entities. We operate internationally, but we reserve the right to deny or restrict service in any jurisdiction subject to trade sanctions, embargoes, or other restrictions under UK law or international regulatory frameworks. We do not serve individuals, or entities located in blacklisted or high-risk countries.
Clients are responsible for ensuring their use of our services complies with all local laws and industry regulations in their jurisdiction.
To access Apiregistrar’s services, clients must register for an account. As part of this process, we collect basic company and contact information to create your account and begin the onboarding process.
Once registration is complete, we initiate technical integration to connect our API with the client’s systems. This includes the provisioning of authentication credentials, testing of communication endpoints, and validation of domain management workflows. We work collaboratively with your development team to complete the integration efficiently and securely.
The API integration is also used to administer your account, provision services, and facilitate billing.
We support both prepaid and postpaid billing models, subject to approval. Your billing arrangement, currency, and funding method will be specified during onboarding.
Clients are responsible for maintaining the security of their API credentials and restricting access to authorized users. Unauthorized use or suspected compromise must be reported immediately to our support team.
Apiregistrar operates primarily on a prepaid basis, where clients deposit funds in advance to cover domain registrations and related services. In select cases, clients may be approved for postpaid billing, subject to credit checks and internal approval criteria.
Payments can be made using the payment methods listed in the client dashboard. Invoices, statements, and account balance information are available through the client portal or API.
A setup fee may apply for the technical integration required to connect your systems to our API. The fee depends on the complexity, scope, and resource requirements of the integration process. This will be clearly communicated during onboarding.
There are no recurring or hidden administrative fees unless explicitly agreed in writing. Domain pricing, promotions, and other charges are made available via API or client documentation.
All domain registrations are performed on behalf of clients and are subject to the terms, conditions, and technical requirements of the applicable domain registries. Registrations are processed through our network of upstream providers, and final confirmation is dependent on the relevant registry's acceptance.
Clients are responsible for ensuring that all domain names and usage comply with applicable laws, industry standards, and any contractual obligations tied to the registry or TLD.
We do not guarantee the success or timeliness of any registration, renewal, or transfer request. Clients are advised to perform availability checks and monitor expirations proactively.
We reserve the right to suspend, cancel, or modify any domain-related transaction to prevent fraud, resolve errors, comply with legal or regulatory requirements, or ensure system integrity.
We take abuse very seriously and are committed to maintaining a safe, legal, and trustworthy use of our domain services. This policy outlines how we define abuse, how we handle abuse reports, and the consequences for violations.
Anyone can report abuse related to the domains through the domain provider. Reports should include:

As part of our services, we may process personal data on your behalf, such as registrant contact information. In such cases, you act as the data controller and we act as a data processor. Our obligations in this role are defined in our Privacy Policy.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the security, integrity, and confidentiality of the data we process. Clients are also responsible for obtaining valid legal consent from any individuals whose data is shared with us.
We aim to provide highly available and reliable services. However, we do not warrant uninterrupted access to our API or services. Planned maintenance, network disruptions, or third-party outages may affect availability.

You are responsible for reviewing the Terms regularly to ensure awareness of any updates.
These Terms and Conditions, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Apiregistrar regarding the use of our services and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, and communications.
No oral or written statements outside this Agreement shall be binding unless expressly incorporated herein.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
