I want to buy a particular domain which is very related to a service said popular company controls. If I state "This site is not affiliated with <company> in any way" or whatever, will they have any grounds to pursue legal action/hijack my domain?

will they have any grounds to pursue legal action/hijack my domain?

Yes especially if the name is a registered trademark

It depends on the company, their service(s) and their policies. If the word(s) in the domain are in the public domain, then you can register a domain with the word(s) in. I'd considering emailing the company for more information.

The impact of trademark issues majorly depend on fair usage. Every company differ in enforcement of this aspect. Popular ones tend to be stricter in protecting their interest so be careful to avoid future trouble. Good luck.

And what domain name Registrar are you going to choose in order to achieve this goal?
