We created this domain name licence agreement template for use in straightforward licensing situations, where the licensee does not benefit from an option to purchase the domain name. See sample provisions from the domain licence here:
Sample Domain Name Licence Agreement
The agreement includes obligations on the licensor to maintain the domain name registration and point the domain name to the servers nominated by the licensee. It includes obligations on the licensee that seek to ensure the licensee's use of the domain name will not compromise the registration of the domain name.
