AKA Naming Terms of Use

Last updated: SEPTEMBER 2026

These Terms of Use (Terms) apply when you visit akanaming.com, create an AKA Naming account or use the AKA Naming platform (Platform).

The website and Platform are operated by AKA Naming Pty Ltd (AKA, we, us or our).
‍
By creating an account or using the Platform, you agree to these Terms. If you are using the Platform on behalf of a company or other organisation, you confirm that you have authority to accept these Terms on its behalf.

Our Privacy Policy also applies to your use of our website and Platform.

1. Separate consulting engagements

These Terms govern use of the AKA website and AKA Naming Platform.

If AKA provides you with consulting, naming, strategy or other professional services under a separate proposal, statement of work or agreement, that separate agreement governs those services.

If there is any inconsistency between these Terms and that separate agreement in relation to those services, the separate agreement prevails.

2. Who can use AKA Naming

AKA Naming is designed for business and professional use, including use by organisations, agencies and independent professionals.

You must be at least 18 years old to create or use an account.

You are responsible for providing accurate account information and keeping your login details secure. You must not allow unauthorised access to your account or use an account in a way that is inconsistent with your subscription.

Please notify us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.

3. Using the Platform

AKA Naming provides tools to support the naming process, including briefing, ideation, name generation, collaboration, shortlisting, screening and related project activities.

You may use the Platform only for lawful business or professional purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

We may update, improve, replace or discontinue features from time to time. We will use reasonable efforts to avoid materially disrupting paid services without notice, but we do not guarantee that every feature will remain available indefinitely.

We may temporarily restrict access where reasonably necessary for maintenance, security, technical issues or protection of the Platform and its users.

4. Subscriptions, renewal and payment

Access to the Platform requires a paid annual subscription unless otherwise agreed with AKA in writing.

The subscription price, included features and any applicable taxes will be shown when you subscribe or set out in the applicable order, proposal or plan description.

Payments are processed through our third-party payment provider, currently Airwallex. AKA does not store your full payment-card details.

Your subscription runs for a 12-month term.

Before the end of that term, AKA may send you renewal reminders and invite you to renew for a further annual term.

Your subscription does not renew automatically. You must actively choose to renew if you wish to continue using the Platform after the end of your current subscription term.

You may stop using the Platform at any time. Subscription fees already paid are not refundable merely because you stop using the Platform before the end of your paid subscription term.

This does not affect any refund, cancellation or other right available to you under applicable law that cannot lawfully be excluded.

5. Your content and project information

You retain your rights in the briefs, prompts, documents, names, information and other material that you upload or provide to the Platform (User Content).

You give AKA a limited right to use, process, store and technically reproduce your User Content only as reasonably necessary to:

• provide the Platform and requested services;
• generate and process naming content;
• perform requested searches or screenings;
• store and display project information;
• provide support when requested; and
• maintain the security and operation of the Platform.

This permission ends when the relevant information is deleted, subject to the retention and backup periods described in our Privacy Policy and any information we are legally required to retain.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have the right to upload and use your User Content. Please do not upload sensitive personal information, health information, confidential personal records or other regulated personal information unless AKA has expressly agreed that it is necessary.

6. AI-generated and other naming content

The Platform uses artificial intelligence and other technologies to help develop and evaluate naming ideas.

Naming suggestions and other generated content are intended to support a creative naming process. They should not be treated as legal advice, trademark clearance or a guarantee that a proposed name can be adopted or protected.

Because names are made from language, ideas and concepts that may be independently created or used by others, we cannot guarantee that:

• a generated or suggested name is unique;
• another person has not already conceived, used or applied to register the same or a similar name;
• another Platform user will never independently receive or develop a similar name; or
• a proposed name is available for use or registration in any particular market.

AKA does not intentionally provide one customer's confidential project information, uploaded material or project-specific naming outputs to another customer.

7. Trademark and legal clearance

Any trademark prescreen, linguistic check, digital-handle check, database search or other screening made available through AKA is a preliminary screening tool only.

A favourable result does not mean that a name is legally available, registrable as a trademark, legally protectable, exclusive, free from third-party rights or suitable for use in every country, industry or category.

Before adopting, launching or applying to register a name, you are responsible for obtaining appropriate legal and trademark advice and undertaking any further searches and legal clearance required for the relevant jurisdictions, goods and services.

AKA is a naming consultancy and technology provider, not a law firm, and does not provide legal or trademark advice through the Platform.

This distinction is consistent with AKA's own description of its process as involving trademark prescreens, rather than definitive trademark clearance.

8. Rights in naming outputs

Subject to these Terms and payment of all applicable fees, you may use naming suggestions and other project-specific content generated for you through the Platform for your business purposes.

The generation or provision of a name does not itself create trademark ownership, exclusivity or other proprietary rights in that name.

The existence and scope of rights in a name or other output may depend on matters including use, registration, applicable law and third-party rights.

To the extent AKA owns rights in project-specific output created for you through the paid Platform service, AKA grants you the right to use that output for your business purposes.

Nothing in these Terms transfers AKA's rights in its Platform, technology, methodologies, Namebank, tools, templates, processes, know-how or other pre-existing intellectual property.

9. AKA intellectual property

AKA owns or licenses the website, Platform and the technology, software, design, branding, content, methodologies and other materials used to provide them.

This includes AKA's proprietary Namebank, which is created and maintained independently by AKA and its founders.

Customer-created and customer-uploaded names or project materials are not added to the Namebank.

Except for the rights expressly provided in these Terms, you may not copy, reproduce, modify, sell, license, reverse engineer or commercially exploit the Platform or AKA's proprietary materials.

10. AI and platform improvement

We do not use your uploaded documents, naming briefs, confidential or proprietary information or other sensitive project material to train our AI models or populate AKA's Namebank.

We may use generalised or aggregated information about how users respond to naming suggestions, such as broad patterns in names users prefer or reject, to improve Platform performance.

That information cannot be linked back to a particular customer or project and does not include customer briefs, uploaded documents or proprietary project information.

Further information about how we handle data is set out in our Privacy Policy.

11. Acceptable use

You must not:

• use the Platform for unlawful, fraudulent or misleading purposes;
• upload material that you do not have the right to use;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to another user's account or project;
• interfere with the security, integrity or operation of the Platform;
• introduce malware, harmful code or automated attacks;
• scrape, systematically extract or reproduce the Platform, Namebank or AKA proprietary content;
• reverse engineer or attempt to discover the underlying source code or proprietary systems, except where applicable law expressly permits it;
• use the Platform or AKA's proprietary materials to build or train a competing naming platform, model, database or service; or
• circumvent usage, account or subscription restrictions.

We may suspend or restrict access where we reasonably believe these Terms have been materially breached or where action is reasonably necessary to protect AKA, the Platform or other users.

12. Third-party services

The Platform uses and may integrate with third-party services, including AI, cloud infrastructure, payment, trademark screening, analytics and other technology providers.

Some Platform functions may therefore depend on third-party systems that AKA does not control.

We are not responsible for a third-party service merely because it is accessible or integrated through the Platform, but this does not exclude any responsibility AKA has under applicable law.

Links from our website to third-party websites are provided for convenience and do not necessarily constitute an endorsement of their content or services.

13. Website content

Information on our public website is provided for general information about AKA and its services.

You may view and use the website for ordinary business purposes, but you may not reproduce or commercially exploit AKA's website content, branding or other intellectual property without permission.

While we take reasonable care with website information, content may change and we do not guarantee that every page will always be complete, current or error-free.

14. Availability and results

Naming is a creative and strategic process. The Platform is designed to assist that process, not guarantee a particular commercial result.

We do not guarantee that:

• the Platform will operate uninterrupted or without error;
• every generated name will be useful or appropriate;
• a particular number or quality of suitable names will be generated;
• a naming suggestion will be available as a trademark, company name, domain name, social handle or other identifier;
• a trademark application will be accepted;
• use of a suggested name will not affect third-party rights; or
• adopting a particular name will achieve a particular commercial outcome.

You remain responsible for deciding which names to investigate, clear, adopt and use.

15. Consumer rights

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, statutory right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Where applicable consumer laws give you rights or remedies that cannot validly be limited by agreement, those rights continue to apply despite anything else in these Terms.

16. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, AKA is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of opportunity, loss of goodwill or loss arising from your decision to adopt, use or apply to register a particular name.

You are responsible for undertaking appropriate trademark, legal, linguistic, commercial and other due diligence before adopting or using a name.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, AKA's total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with your use of the Platform or these Terms will not exceed the subscription fees actually paid by you to AKA during the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies:

• any consumer guarantee, statutory right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded;
• liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded; or
• any other right you have under applicable law that cannot validly be restricted by agreement.

17. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Platform at any time. Your paid access will continue until the end of your current subscription term unless your account is terminated earlier under these Terms.

AKA may suspend or terminate access if:

• fees remain unpaid;
• there is a material breach of these Terms;
• use of the Platform creates a material security or legal risk;
• the account is used unlawfully or fraudulently; or
• we are required to do so by law.

Where reasonably practicable, we will give you notice and an opportunity to remedy a breach before terminating a paid account, unless immediate action is reasonably necessary.

When an account expires, is cancelled or is terminated, project information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to our services, technology or legal obligations.

If we make a material change affecting an existing paid subscription, we will provide reasonable notice before the change takes effect where practicable.

The current version will be published on our website with the date it was last updated.

19. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia.

Subject to any rights you have under applicable law, the courts of New South Wales have jurisdiction in relation to disputes arising from these Terms.

Nothing in this section excludes any legal right or protection that cannot validly be excluded by agreement.
