Non-US buying a .us

[VI5]

United States of America or any of its possessions or territories, or (iii) whose primary place
of domicile is in the United States of America or any of its possessions

What would happen if me (a UK habitant) bought a .us? Would I have it removed or what?

Thanks, Andy

A previous thread indicated the .US Registry periodically sends notices forcing
users to confirm their contact details or face losing the names. While this is a
normal thing to expect for other extensions like .com, what makes this different
is you have to "prove" you have an established US-based presence.

in theory you can not own it, but in practice many non-us people own the .us domains.

If its for a UK based buisiness to offer services in the USA then its perfectly legal. I was having this discussion with my host a few years back who explained everything to me.

As long as you wont be using it for a personal/non-buisiness website then its fine.
