Amazon Route 53 Domain Name Registration Agreement

Last Updated: September 1, 2026

1. General Terms.

1.1 This Agreement is between you and Amazon Web Services, Inc. (“AWS”). The terms of this Agreement apply to your use of AWS’s Domain Name Registration Services. Your use of the Domain Name Registration Services is also governed by the AWS Customer Agreement (or other agreement with AWS governing your use of the Domain Name Registration Services). In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of those other agreements, the terms of this Agreement will apply with respect to your use of the Domain Name Registration Services, but only to the extent of such conflict.

**1.2 **You have access to ICANN’s Registrant Educational Materials and have certain rights and responsibilities, all of which are set out in the ICANN Registrants’ Benefits and Responsibilities policy.

1.3 Updates During the Term. Your continued use of the Domain Name Registration Services will constitute acceptance of any additional or updated terms that become effective after you have accepted this Agreement and registered the Registered Name. Even if you register a Registered Name for an extended duration, or continue renewing your use of the Domain Name Registration Services through Automatic Renewal pursuant to Section 7.2 of this Agreement, you are responsible for monitoring and ensuring your compliance with any updated terms for your use of the Domain Name Registration Services.

2. Registrar and Registry Operator.

2.1 AWS provides the Domain Name Registration Services through ICANN-accredited registrars. AWS currently provides Domain Name Registration Services through Amazon Registrar, Inc. (“Amazon Registrar”), and other ICANN-accredited registrars (the “Registrar”), and your use of the Domain Name Registration Services is subject to their terms. You can identify the Registrar of record for any Registered Name by performing an RDAP query here . AWS reserves the right to use any ICANN-accredited registrar as the Registrar.

2.2 Both AWS and the Registrar are required to comply with terms specified by (a) ICANN and (b) the Registry Operator for each specific gTLD or ccTLD. AWS may modify this Agreement to comply with the requirements of ICANN, the Registrar, or a Registry Operator. You agree that you will comply with all applicable Specifications and Policies. Should you refuse to accept any changes that are required by ICANN, the Registrar, or a Registry Operator, or any applicable Specifications and Policies, your domain name will be cancelled, and no refund will be due to you.

2.2.1 AWS does not guarantee that it will be able to register or renew an applied-for domain name, even if the domain name may be labeled as available. No domain name registration request submitted to AWS will be deemed effective unless and until the relevant Registry Operator accepts the application and activates the applied-for domain name or renewal.

**2.2.2 **AWS may reject an application to register or renew a domain name for any reason, including rejection due to non-compliance with the requirements of ICANN, the Registrar, or a Registry Operator.

2.3 You will comply with specific requirements related to the relevant gTLD or ccTLD, as required by or on behalf of AWS, the Registrar, ICANN, or the Registry Operator. The specific requirements related to each gTLD or ccTLD are available from the Registrar (located on the Amazon Registrar Resources Policy Page, or in the registration agreement of any other registrar AWS may use.) Should you refuse to accept any requirements related to the relevant TLD, your domain name will be cancelled and no refund will be due to you.
