ENOM, INC. REGISTRATION AGREEMENT This Registration Agreement
("Agreement")
sets forth the terms and conditions of your use of domain
name registration and related services ("Services").
In this Agreement "you" and "your" refer
to you and the registrant listed in the WHOIS contact information
for the domain name. "We", "us" and "our" refer
to the registrars listed at the bottom of this document,
any one of which will be the registrar for your domain
name and all of which share common ownership, common terms
and conditions, and a shared Services infrastructure. To
determine which registrar your domain name is registered
with, perform a WHOIS lookup at http://www.whois.sc. You
obtain the Services first through a Primary Service Provider,
ENOM, INC., with whom we have a wholesale relationship.
Your relationship with your Primary Service Provider may
be governed by additional terms, as you and your Primary
Service Provider may agree. "We," "us" and "our" does
not include your Primary Service Provider, except when
specifically mentioned or unless your Primary Service Provider
is one of us (i.e. unless your Primary Service Provider
is one of the registrars listed at the bottom of this document).
YOU AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT: By using the Service(s), you
agree to all terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
UDRP (define below) and the rules, policies, or agreements
published in association with specific of the Service(s)
and/or which may be enforced by by ICANN, the registries,
and governments.
PASSAGE OF TIME: This Agreement will change over time.
If you no longer agree with the terms of this Agreement,
you agree that your exclusive remedy is to transfer your
domain name to another registrar or request of us that
we cancel your domain name registration. If you continue
to use the Services following a change in this Agreement
and/or the Services, your continued use of the Services
indicates your consent to the changes. Any such revision
or change will be binding and effective within 30 days
of when the revised Agreement or change to the Service(s)
is posted, or immediately after viewing the revised Agreement
or immediately on notification to you by e-mail or United
States mail. You agree to review this Agreement periodically
to make yourself aware of any such revisions.
YOUR ACCOUNT: You must create an account to use the Services.
Your account is typically going to be managed and/or provided
by your Primary Service Provider. You are responsible for
maintaining and updating all login IDs, passwords, and
for all access to and use of your account by you or any
third party.
SERVICE(S) PROVIDED AT WILL AND TERMINATION
OF SERVICE(S): We and your Primary Service Provider may
reject your domain
name registration application or elect to discontinue providing
Service(s) to you for any reason within 30 days of a Service
initiation or a Service renewal. Outside of this period,
we and your Primary Service Provider may terminate or suspend
the Service(s) at any time for cause, which, without limitation,
includes registration of prohibited domain name(s), abuse
of the Services, payment irregularities, serious allegations
of illegal conduct, or if your use of the Services involves
us in a violation of any Internet Service Provider's ("ISP's")
acceptable use policies, including the transmission of
unsolicited bulk email. If we have grounds to terminate
or suspend Service(s) to one domain name or in relation
to other Service(s) provided through your account, we may
terminate or suspend all Service(s) provided through your
account, including Service(s) to other domain names. No
fee refund will be made when there is a suspension or termination
of Service(s) for cause. At any time and for any reason,
we may terminate the Services upon 30 day notice, which
notice will be considered received by you five days after
it is transmitted via mail or email to the WHOIS contact
information provided in association with your domain name
registration. Following notice of termination other than
for cause, you must transfer your domain name or risk that
we may delete your domain name or suspend or modify Services
to it. If we terminate Services for a reason other than
cause, we will attempt to refund your fees. You further
acknowledge and agree that your registration of a domain
name is subject to suspension, cancellation or transfer
by any ICANN procedure, by any registrar or registry administrator
procedures approved by an ICANN-adopted policy, to correct
mistakes by us, another registrar or the registry administrator
in administering the domain name or for the resolution
of disputes concerning the domain name.
OUR SERVICES: We are accredited registrars
with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers ("ICANN")
for Top Level Domain Names ("TLDs") (such as
.com, .net, .org, .de, co.uk, etc.). ICANN oversees registrations
and other aspects of the TLDs. Domain name registrations
are not effective until the registry administrator puts
them into effect. For a list of registry administrators
and for more information on TLDs, see HYPERLINK http://www.icann.org/tlds/.
Domain name registrations are only for limited terms, terms
which end on the expiration date. For domain names which
are created as a new registration out of the available
namespace, the term begins on the date the domain name
registration is acknowledged by the applicable registry;
for domain names registrations which were not returned
to the available namespace, the term begins on the date
the previous registrant's domain name registration was
acknowledged by the applicable registry. You agree that
we and your Primary Service Provider are not liable or
responsible in any way for any errors, omissions or any
other actions by the registry administrator arising out
of or related to your application and receipt of, failure
to receive, or revocation of a domain name registration.
YOU WARRANT THAT YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICES IS NOT GOING
TO SUBJECT US TO ANY CLAIM(S). You further agree to indemnify,
defend and hold harmless us, your Primary Service Provider,
and applicable registry administrator(s) (including Verisign
Inc., Neulevel, Inc., Public Interest Registry, Afilias
Limited, and other registry operators listed at http://www.icann.org/registries/listing.html)
and all such parties' directors, officers, employees, and
agents from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities,
costs, and expenses (including any direct, indirect, incidental,
special or consequential damages and reasonable legal fees
and expenses) arising out of, or related to, your domain
name registration.
NOT INCLUDED IN THE SERVICES: Without limitation, the
following are not included in the Services: We cannot and
do not check to see whether the domain name(s) you select,
or the use you make of the domain name(s), or other of
the Service(s), infringes legal rights of others. It is
your responsibility to know whether or not the domain name(s)
you select or use infringes legal rights of others. We
might be ordered by a court to cancel, modify, or transfer
your domain name; it is your responsibility to list accurate
contact information in association with your account and
to communicate with litigants, potential litigants, and
governmental authorities. It is not our responsibility
to forward court orders or other communications to you.
We will comply with court orders unless you contact us
to contest the order.
IF LAWSUIT(S) ARE THREATENED: If we are sued or threatened
with lawsuit in connection with Service(s) provided to
your account, we may turn to you to indemnify us and to
hold us harmless from the claims and expenses (including
attorney's fees and court costs). Under such circumstances,
you agree that you will, upon demand, obtain a performance
bond with a reputable bonding company or, if you are unable
to obtain a performance bond, that you will deposit money
with us to pay for our reasonably anticipated expenses
in relation to the matter for the coming year. Such deposit
will be drawn down as expenses are incurred, with all account
notices sent to the WHOIS contact information provided
in association with your domain names and/or account. We
shall not be obliged to extend you any credit in relation
to such expenses and we may terminate the Services for
a failure to make or renew such a deposit. We will return
any unused deposit upon the later of one year from deposit
or the conclusion of the matter.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION POLICY: You agree
to the Uniform Domain NameDispute Resolution Policy ("UDRP"),
information regarding which is available at http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp-rules-24oct99.htm.
You agree that the UDRP may be changed by ICANN (or ICANN's
successor) at any time. You agree that, if the registration
or reservation of your domain name is challenged by a third
party, you will be subject to the provisions specified
in the Dispute Policy in effect at the time your domain
name registration is disputed by the third party. You also
agree that, in the event a domain name dispute arises with
any third party, you will indemnify and hold us harmless
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the UDRP. You also
understand that it is important for you to regularly monitor
email sent to the email address associated with your account
and domain names because, among other reasons, if a dispute
arises regarding Services provided to you, you may loose
your rights to receive the Services if you do not respond
expeditiously to an email sent in conjunction therewith.
FEES: As consideration for the Service(s), renewal of
the Service(s), and, if you select it, automatic renewal
of the Service(s), you agree to pay, prior to the effectiveness
of the desired Service(s), the applicable Service(s) fees.
All fees are non-refundable, in whole or in part, even
if your domain name registration is suspended, cancelled
or transferred prior to the end of your then current registration
term, unless this Agreement specifically provides for a
refund. At our option, we may require that you pay fees
through a particular payment means (such as by credit card
or by wire transfer) or that you change from one payment
provider to another.
CREDIT CARD CHARGES: If you have an
issue with credit card charges, you should contact your
Primary Service Provider
(if any), first, and us, secondarily, regarding the issue
before you contact your credit card company to request
a charge back. In the event of a charge back by a credit
card company (or similar action by another payment provider
allowed by us) in connection with your payment of fees
for any Service(s), you agree that we and/or your Primary
Service Provider may suspend access to any and all accounts
you have with us and/or your Primary Service Provider and
that all right, title, interest in, and use of any domain
name registration(s) and/or websites, email, or other data
hosted on our systems and/or the systems of your Primary
Service Provider shall be assumed by us or your Primary
Service Provider, as the case may be. We will reinstate
your rights solely at our discretion, and subject to our
receipt of the unpaid fee(s) and our then-current reinstatement
fee, currently set at US $200. Reinstatement of Service(s)
by your Primary Service Provider may be according to the
terms, if any, between you and your Primary Service Provider
relating to reinstatement. Charges for the Service(s) which
use our credit card payment processor will be identified
on your credit card statement as "Domain Name Registration." We
are not responsible for how charges appear on your credit
card statement when the transaction is processed by your
Primary Service Provider's or another third party's credit
card payment processor.
EXPIRATION AND RENEWAL OF SERVICE(S): You acknowledge
that it is your responsibility to keep your own records
and to maintain your own reminders regarding when your
domain name registration or other Services are set to expire.
As a convenience to you, and not as a binding commitment,
we and/or your Primary Service Provider may notify you
via an email message or via your account when renewal fees
are due. Should these fees go unpaid, your Services will
expire or be cancelled. Payment must be made by credit
card or such other method as we may allow or require from
time to time. If you select automatic renewal of the Service(s),
we may attempt to renew the Service(s) a reasonable time
before expiration, provided your credit card or other billing
information is available and up to date. You acknowledge
that it is your responsibility to keep your billing information
up to date and that we are not required to, but that we
may, contact you to update this information in the event
that an attempted transaction is not processed successfully.
ACCOUNT CONTACT INFORMATION AND DOMAIN
NAME WHOIS INFORMATION: As further consideration for
the Service(s), you agree
to provide certain current, complete and accurate information
about you, both with respect to your account information
and with respect to the WHOIS information for your domain
name(s). You agree to maintain and update this information
as needed to keep it current, complete and accurate. With
respect to you, the administrative, technical, and billing
contacts for your domain name registration(s) and other
Service(s), you must submit the following: name, postal
address, e-mail address, voice telephone number, and where
available, fax number. You agree that the type of information
you are required to provide may change change and you understand
that, if you do not wish to provide the newly required
information, your registration or Service(s) may be suspended
or terminated or may not be renewed. All other information
which we may request from you at registration is voluntary.
However, not providing the requested information may prevent
you from obtaining all Service(s) made available to domain
name registrants by us. You may also provide information
regarding the name-servers assigned to your domain name(s)
and, if we are providing name-server services to you, the
DNS settings for the domain name. If you do not provide
complete name-server information, or if you purchase "Name
Only" Services, you agree that we may supply this
information (and point your domain name to a website of
our choosing) until such time as you elect to supply the
name-server information or until such time as you elect
to upgrade from "Name Only" Services.
YOUR OBLIGATIONS AND REPRESENTATIONS RELATING TO THE ACCOUNT
AND WHOIS CONTACT INFORMATION: In the event that, in registering
a domain name or obtaining other Service(s), you provide
information about or on behalf of a third party, you represent
that you have (a) provided notice to that third party of
the disclosure and use of that party's information as set
forth in this Agreement, and (b) that you have obtained
the third party's express consent to the disclosure and
use of that party's information as set forth in this Agreement.
By registering a domain name or applying for Services you
also represent that the statements in your application
are true and you also represent that the domain name is
not being registered or the Services being procured for
any unlawful purpose. You acknowledge that providing inaccurate
information or failing to update information promptly will
constitute a material breach of this Agreement and will
be sufficient basis for suspension or termination of Services
to you. You further agree that your failure to respond
for over ten (10) calendar days to inquiries by us concerning
the accuracy of account and WHOIS contact information shall
constitute a material breach of this Agreement and will
be sufficient basis for suspension or termination of Service(s)
to you. As indicated elsewhere in this Agreement, you understand
that it is important for you to regularly monitor email
sent to the email address associated with the in your account
and WHOIS contact information because, among other reasons,
if a dispute arises regarding a domain name(s) or other
Service(s), you may loose your rights to the domain name(s)
or your right to receive the Service(s) if you do not respond
appropriately to an email sent in conjunction therewith.
ACCESSING YOUR ACCOUNT AND AN IMPORTANT LIMITATION OF
OUR LIABILITY: In order to change any of your account or
domain name WHOIS information, you must access your account
with your Primary Service Provider (if any), or your account
with us. Please safeguard your account login identifier
and password from any unauthorized use. You agree that
any person in possession of you account login identifier
and password will have the ability and your authorization
to modify your account and domain name information. We
will take reasonable precautions to protect the information
we obtain from you from loss, misuse, unauthorized access
or disclosure, alteration or destruction of that informationand
that such reasonable precautions include procedures for
releasing account access information to parties who claim
to have lost account access information you agree that,
if we take reasonable precautions in relation thereto,
that IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE IF SUCH REASONABLE
PRECAUTIONS DO NOT PREVENT THE UNAUTHORIZED USE OR MISUSE
OF YOUR ACCOUNT IDENTIFIER OR PASSWORD AND THAT, EVEN IF
WE FAIL TO TAKE REASONABLE PRECAUTIONS, THAT OUR LIABILITY
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL BE LIMITED BY THE LIMITATION
OF LIABILITY PROVISION FOUND BELOW IN THIS AGREEMENT. If
you contact us alleging that a third party has unauthorized
access to your account or domain names, you agree that
we may charge you administrative fees of $50 per hour for
our time, regardless of whether or not we return control
over the account and/or domain names to you.
TRANSFERS: You agree that transfer
of your domain name(s) shall be governed by ICANN's transfer
policy, available
at http://www.icann.org/transfers/, as this policy may
be modified from time to time. You agree that we may place
your domain name(s) on Registrar Lock to prevent them from
being transferred without your authorization, though we
are not required to do so. By allowing your domain name
to remain locked, you provide express objection to any
and all transfer requests until the lock is removed. To
transfer your domain name(s) you should first login to
your account to lock or unlock your domain name(s) and/or
to obtain the EPP "AuthCode" which is required
to transfer domains in an EPP registry (such as .org).
Alternatively, you should contact your Primary Service
Provider to have your domain name(s) locked or unlocked
or to obtain the EPP "AuthCode." If your Primary
Service Provider is unresponsive, you may contact us to
have your domain name(s) locked or unlocked or to obtain
the EPP "AuthCode." Only the registrant and the
administrative contacts listed in the WHOIS information
for a domain name may approve or deny a transfer request.
Without limitation, domain names may not be transferred
within 60 days of initial registration, within 60 days
of a transfer, if there is a dispute regarding the identity
of the domain name holder, if you are bankrupt, or if you
fail to pay fees when due. We will follow the procedures
for both gaining and loosing registrars as outlined in
ICANN's transfer policies. Transfer requests typically
take five business days to be processed. A transfer will
not be processed if, during this time, the domain name
registration expires. You may be required to resubmit a
transfer request if there is a communication failure or
other problem at either our end or at the registry. AS
A CONSEQUENCE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ASSUME ALL RISK
FOR FAILURE OF A TRANSFER IF THE TRANSFER PROCESS IS INITIATED
CLOSE TO THE END OF A REGISTRATION TERM.
PRIVACY POLICY: You agree and consent that we will make
available the domain name registration information you
provide or that we otherwise maintain to the following
parties: ICANN, the registry administrator(s), and to other
third parties as ICANN and applicable laws may require
or permit (including through web-based and other on-line
WHOIS lookup systems). ), whether during or after the term
of your registration of the domain name. You hereby irrevocably
waive any and all claims and causes of action you may have
arising from such disclosure or use of your domain name
registration and other information. Additionally, you acknowledge
that ICANN may establish or modify the guidelines, limits
and/or requirements that relate to the amount and type
of information that we may or must make available to the
public or to private entities, and the manner in which
such information is made available. Information regarding
ICANN's guidelines and requirements regarding WHOIS can
be found at http://www.icann.org/registrars/wmrp.htm, http://www.icann.org/registrars/wdrp.htm,
and elsewhere on the ICANN website at http://www.icann.org/index.html.
OWNERSHIP OF INFORMATION AND DATA: You agree and acknowledge
that we own all database, compilation, collective and similar
rights, title and interests worldwide in our domain name
database, and all information and derivative works generated
from the domain name database. You further agree and acknowledge
that we own the following information for those registrations
for which we are the registrar: (a) the original creation
date of the registration, (b) the expiration date of the
registration, (c) the name, postal address, e-mail address,
voice telephone number, and where available fax number
of all contacts for the domain name registration, (d) any
remarks concerning the registered domain name that appear
or should appear in the WHOIS or similar database, and
(e) any other information we generate or obtain in connection
with the provision of domain name registration services,
other than the domain name being registered, the IP addresses
of the primary nameserver and any secondary nameservers
for the domain name, and the corresponding names of those
nameservers. We do not have any ownership interest in your
specific personal registration information outside of its
rights in our domain name database.
AGENTS AND LICENSES: You agree that, if you are registering
a domain name for or on behalf of someone else, you represent
that you have the authority to nonetheless bind that person
as a principal to all terms and conditions provided herein.
You agree that if you license the use of the domain name
registered to you to a third party, you nonetheless remain
the domain name holder of record, and remain responsible
for all obligations under this Agreement, including but
not limited to payment obligations, and providing (and
updating, as necessary) both your own full contact information,
and accurate technical, administrative, billing and zone
contact information adequate to facilitate timely resolution
of any problems that arise in connection with the domain
name and domain name registration.
USE OF FREE SERVICES: In consideration
for providing additional optional Services for which
we do not charge an additional
fee, including, but not limited to, URL forwarding, email
forwarding, free parking page, free website hosting, free
email services, or other services which we may introduce
from time to time but for which there is not a separate
fee ("Free Services"), you agree that, if you
use such Free Services, we may display advertising in conjunction
therewith through the use of pop-up or pop-under browser
windows, banner advertisements, audio or video steams,
appendices to emails, or other similar advertising means,
and that we may aggregate related usage data by means of
cookies and other similar means. You agree that from time
to time we may provide you with free or low-cost domain
name(s) ("Promotional Name(s)"). If we do so,
the Promotional Name(s) will be placed in the same account
as your other domain name(s) and you will be listed as
the registrant, though we may point the Promotional Name
to IP address(es)of our choosing. If you want to assume
control over the Promotional Name, including the right
to transfer or push the Promotional Name or to the ability
to control the DNS settings for the Promotional Name, you
must pay the promotional registration fee or renewal fee,
if any, and agree to the terms of this Agreement with respect
to such Promotional Name(s). If you do not want the Promotional
Name, you may push the Promotional Name to our account
with login ID or you may request that your Primary Service
Provider push the Promotional Name, in which case you will
be removed as the registrant and we will be listed as the
domain name registrant. Alternatively, you may contact
us or your Primary Service Provider to request that we
delete the Promotional Name. For any name, including these
Promotional Names, for which you are listed as registrant
but for which you do not pay the registration or renewal
fee, you agree that we may assign name-servers to the domain
name and point the domain name to IP address(es) designated
by us until the registration or renewal fee is paid.
AFTER EXPIRATION OF THE TERM OF A DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION:
After expiration of the term of a domain name registration
and before deletion of the domain name by the applicable
registry, you acknowledge that we may direct the domain
name to name-servers and IP address(es) designated by us,
including, without limitation, to no IP address or to IP
address(es) which host a parking page or a commercial search
engine that may display advertisements, and you acknowledge
that we may either leave your WHOIS information intact
or that we may, but only under certain circumstances, change
the contact information in the WHOIS output for the expired
domain name so that you are no longer the registrant of
the expired domain name.
After expiration of the term of a domain name registration,
you acknowledge that certain registry administrators may
provide procedures or grace periods during which expired
domain name registrations may be renewed. You acknowledge
that you assume all risks and all consequences if you wait
until close to or after the end of a domain name registration
term to attempt to renew the registration. You acknowledge
that we, for any reason and in our sole discretion, may
choose not to participate in a post-expiration renewal
of a domain name and that we shall not be liable therefore.
You acknowledge that post-expiration renewal or redemption
processes, if any, involve additional fees which we and
your Primary Service Provider may determine. You acknowledge
and agree that expired domain name(s) may be made available
to be registered or re-registered to any party at any time.
You agree that after expiration of the term of a domain
name registration we may, for a period of 30 days, either
i) remove the domain name from the zone of the top-level-domain
(meaning that the domain name will no longer resolve),
or ii) direct the domain name to name-servers and IP address(es)
of website(s) designated by us, including, without limitation,
to IP address(es) which host a parking page or a commercial
search engine. You agree that either are functionally equivalent
to ICANN's or a registry's redemption grace period, which
would normally occur after deletion, and that both provide
you with enough notice that your name is expired and that
you should renew it if you wish to renew it. If we exercise
our rights under this provision, and if you do not contact
us to pay for and renew the domain name prior to the end
of the 30 days, you agree that you have abandoned the domain
name.
After this 30 day period, you agree
that we may, possibly via a sub-contractor, solicit and
provide for a third party
to pay to renew the domain name's registration term and
to allow such a third party to assume complete control
over the domain name as its registrant (a "Post-Expiration
Registrant Change", or "PERC"). If we enter
into a PERC transaction with such a third party (the "PERC
Customer"), we will send an email notification to
the email addresses, if any, which were listed for the
registrant and the administrative contact(s) for the domain
name when it was registered by you (the "PERC Notification").
You acknowledge that you might not receive the PERC Notification
and that it is not our obligation to confirm whether or
not the PERC Notification was received by you. The previously
listed registrant (typically you) may receive a portion
of the funds received by us for the PERC as follows: (i)
if the domain name was registered directly through us,
the previously listed registrant may receive twenty percent
(20%) of the Net Proceeds received by us (either directly
or from a third party vendor providing services to us)
as a result of the PERC; or (ii) if the domain name was
registered with us through your Primary Service Provider
(such as your website host, for example), the previously
listed registrant may receive fifteen percent (15%) of
the Net Proceeds received by us as a result of the PERC.
You acknowledge and agree that the PERC may be accomplished
through an auction involving one or more parties who are
interested in the domain name. If it is determined that
either the registrant or the administrative contact for
the domain name or anyone acting on behalf of such a party
participated in the auction, then none of the Net Proceeds
will be paid out or if paid out must be returned to us. "Net
Proceeds" means the total fees paid to us (either
directly or by a third party providing services to us)
as a result of the PERC, less registry fees, ICANN fees,
taxes, credit card charge-backs, processing and check fees,
and other costs or fees associated with the PERC. You agree
that we shall have no obligation to make the foregoing
payments unless, within ninety (90) days after the date
of the PERC Notification, the previously listed registrant
provides us with the name, address and other information
requested (including, but not limited to, a Form W-9, if
applicable) in the PERC Notification. We cannot guarantee,
and we make no representation or promise, that any PERC
will occur with respect to a domain name registered by
you. You understand that, if you do not wish to participate
in this process, that you may renew your domain name registration
in the available time and that you may arrange for the
sale or other disposition of the domain name on your own.
Alternatively, if you do not contact
us to renew the domain name registration during the 30
day period described above,
and if we are unable or unwilling to arrange a PERC, you
agree that we may either (i) delete the domain name at
any time thereafter or (ii) that we may pay the registry
free or otherwise allow it to continue to be registered
with the WHOIS information previously provided by you and
pointing to the name-server(s) and IP address(es) designated
by us, and that we will not remove it from the TLD zone.
In the latter event, the name will be designated as being
in the extended redemption grace period ("ERGP"),
and you will be allowed to assume, during the first 90
days of the then extant registration term, complete management
of the domain name, including the right to control the
DNS information, provided that you pay the registration
fees for a one-year registration term and your Primary
Service Provider's ERGP redemption fee. After the end of
the 90-day period, if you do not exercise your rights under
this provision, you agree that you have abandoned the domain
name, and relinquish all rights and control over the domain
name, and that you are no longer the registrant of the
domain name, and that we may list ourselves or another
party as the registrant of the domain name in the WHOIS.
If we exercise our rights under this provision and you
do not wish to be listed as the registrant and you wish
to forego your option under this provision to pay to renew
the domain name registration for the then-current registration
term, you may notify us before the end of the 90-day period
and request that we remove your information from the WHOIS
record for the domain name, in which case we, or a third
party we designate, will be listed as the registrant, and
in which case you relinquish all rights and control over
the domain name, and in which case we may i) continue to
point the domain name to IP address(es) designated by us,
or ii) we may delete the domain name.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: You agree that we may distribute information
to you that is pertinent to the quality or operation of
our Service(s) and the services of your Primary Service
Provider which utilize our Service(s). These announcements
will be predominately informative in nature and may include
notices describing changes, upgrades, new products or other
information to add security or to enhance your identity
on the Internet and/or they may include information or
announcements which ICANN, the registries, or others may
require us to distribute.

CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS)
REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT
SHALL OUR MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY EXCEED THE TOTAL
AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR REGISTRATION OF THE DOMAIN NAME,
BUT IN NO EVENT GREATER THAN FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS ($400.00).
BECAUSE SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION
OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN
SUCH STATES, OUR LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
INDEMNITY: With respect to ICANN, the registry operators,
us, and your Primary Service Provider, as well as the contractors,
agents, employees, officers, directors and affiliates of
such parties, you agree to release, indemnify, and hold
such parties harmless from all liabilities, claims and
expenses, including attorney's fees and court costs, for
third party claims relating to or arising under this Agreement,
the Service(s) provided hereunder, or your use of the Service(s),
including, without limitation, infringement by you, or
by anyone else using the Service(s) we provide to you,
of any intellectual property or other proprietary right
of any person or entity, or from the violation of any of
our operating rules or policies relating to the Service(s)
provided. When we may be involved in a suit involving a
third party and which is related to our Service(s) to you
under this Agreement, we may seek written assurances from
you in which you promise to indemnify and hold us harmless
from the costs and liabilities described in this paragraph.
Such written assurances may include, in our sole discretion,
the posting of a performance bond(s) or other guarantees
reasonably calculated to guarantee payment. Your failure
to provide such assurances may be considered by us to be
a breach of this Agreement by you and may, in our sole
discretion, result in loss of your right to control the
disposition of domain names for which you are the registrant
and in relation to which we are the registrar of record.
This indemnification is in addition to any indemnification
required under the UDRP.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES: YOU
REPRESENT THAT, TO THE BEST OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND BELIEF,
NEITHER THE REGISTRATION
OF A DOMAIN NAME NOR NOR THE MANNER IN WHICH IT IS DIRECTLY
OR INDIRECTLY USED NOR THE USE OF OTHER OF THE SERVICE(S)
INFRINGES THE LEGAL RIGHTS OF A THIRD PARTY. YOU FURTHER
REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT ALL INFORMATION PROVIDED BY
YOU IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR PROCUREMENT OF THE SERVICE(S)
IS ACCURATE. ALL SERVICE(S) ARE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS
IS." EXCEPT FOR OUR STATEMENT REGARDING OUR ACCREDITATION
AS ICANN-APPROVED DOMAIN NAME REGISTRARS, WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS
OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICE(S), INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, UNLESS SUCH REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES ARE NOT LEGALLY EXCLUDABLE. WITHOUT ANY LIMITATION
TO THE FOREGOING, WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES
OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER THAT REGISTRATION OR USE OF A DOMAIN
NAME UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL IMMUNIZE YOU EITHER FROM
CHALLENGES TO YOUR DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION, OR FROM SUSPENSION,
CANCELLATION OR TRANSFER OF THE DOMAIN NAME REGISTERED
TO YOU. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ANY MATERIAL AND/OR
DATA DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF
OUR E-MAIL FORWARDING OR OTHER EMAIL SERVICE IS DONE AT
YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK AND THAT YOU WILL BE SOLELY
RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR LOSS
OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM THE DOWNLOAD OF SUCH MATERIAL
AND/OR DATA. WE MAKE NO WARRANTY REGARDING ANY GOODS OR
SERVICES PURCHASED OR OBTAINED THROUGH OUR E-MAIL SERVICE(S)
OR ANY TRANSACTIONS ENTERED INTO THROUGH OUR E-MAIL SERVICE(S).
NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED
BY YOU FROM US SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY
MADE HEREIN. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION
OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
GOVERNING LAW: this Agreement, your rights and obligations
and all actions contemplated by this Agreement shall be
governed by the laws of the United States of America and
the State of Washington, as if the Agreement was a contract
wholly entered into and wholly performed within the State
of Washington. You agree that any action to enforce this
Agreement or any matter relating to your use of the Services
shall be brought exclusively in the United States District
Court for the Western District of Washington, or if there
is no jurisdiction in such court, then in a state court
in King County, Washington state. You consent to the personal
and subject matter jurisdiction of any state or Federal
court in King County, Washington state in relation to any
dispute arising under this Agreement. You agree that service
of process on you by us in relation to any dispute arising
under this Agreement may be served upon you by first class
mail to the address listed by you in your account and/or
domain name WHOIS information or by electronically transmitting
a true copy of the papers to the email address listed by
you in your account and/or domain name WHOIS information.
NOTICES: You agree that any notices required to be given
under this Agreement by us to you will be deemed to have
been given if delivered in accordance with the account
and/or domain name WHOIS information you have provided.
INFANCY: You attest that you are of legal age to enter
into this Agreement.
GENERAL: This Agreement and the UDRP, together with all
modifications, constitute the complete and exclusive agreement
between you and us, and supersede and govern all prior
proposals, agreements, or other communications. Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be construed as creating
any agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise
between the parties. The failure of us to require your
performance of any provision hereof shall not affect the
full right to require such performance at any time thereafter;
nor shall the waiver by us of a breach of any provision
hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision
itself. In the event that any provision of this Agreement
shall be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable
law or be so held by applicable court decision, such unenforceability
or invalidity shall not render this Agreement unenforceable
or invalid as a whole. We will amend or replace such provision
with one that is valid and enforceable and which achieves,
to the extent possible, our original objectives and intent
as reflected in the original provision. This Agreement
may not be amended or modified by you except by means of
a written document signed by both you and an authorized
representative of us.
