1. Domain Name Registration and Administration

  1. Generic Top Level Domain Registrations

    Registrar is an accredited registrar with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") for various generic top-level domain names including .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, .pro, and .name ("gTLDs").

    You acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions of ICANN's Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "UDRP"), as amended from time to time, which is hereby incorporated and made a part of this Agreement by reference for all gTLD domain name registrations or renewals. (ICANN's UDRP link)

  2. Country Code Top Level Domain Registration and Administration

    In addition to registering and renewing gTLD domain name registratons, Registrar also registers and renews various country code top level domains ("ccTLDs"). The registry administrator for each ccTLD varies by individual country code. By agreeing to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, you are also agreeing to be bound by the rules and regulations set forth by these registry administrators for their respective registries only. Registrar may, in its sole discretion, elect to discontinue offering registrations or renewals of some or all ccTLDs.

  3. No Guarantee of Registration or Renewal

    As a domain name registrar, Registrar is, upon accepting your application to register or renew a domain name, your sponsor for that application. No domain name registrations shall be deemed effective unless and until we deliver the domain name registration or renewal application you provide us to the appropriate registry administrator, as applicable, and that registry administrator accepts your application and activates your domain name registration or renewal. You will be entitled to a refund only if your registration is unsuccessful.

  4. You acknowledge and agree that Registrar does not guarantee that you will be able to register or renew a desired domain name, even if our systems indicate that domain name is available, or you are able to complete an order with respect to such name. You also understand that Registrar cannot know with certainty whether or not the domain name which you are seeking to register is simultaneously being sought by a third party, or whether there are any inaccuracies or errors in the domain name registration or renewal process or related databases, including the various WHOIS or other registry databases. You also acknowledge and agree that Registrar is not responsible for any inaccuracies or errors in the domain name registration or renewal process. You are solely responsible for making sure that your registration or renewal has been properly processed. You further acknowledge and agree that Registrar may elect to accept or reject your application for registration or renewal for any reason at its sole discretion, such rejection including, but not limited to, rejection due to a request for registration or renewal of a prohibited domain name. You also acknowledge and agree that Registrar is not liable or responsible in any way for any errors, omissions or any other actions by any third party including any registry administrator arising out of or related to your application for and registration of, renewal of, or failure to register or renew a particular domain name.

  5. Your Representations

    By applying to register a domain name, or by asking us to maintain or renew a domain name registration, you hereby represent and warrant to us that (a) the statements that you made in connection with such registration, maintenance, or renewal are complete and accurate, and your contact information will be kept current; (b) the registration of the domain name will not infringe upon or otherwise violate the rights of any third party; (c) you are not registering the domain name for an unlawful purpose; and (d) you will not use the domain name in violation of any applicable laws or regulations or Registrar's rules or policies. You agree and acknowledge that it is your responsibility to determine whether your domain name registration or use infringes or violates someone else's rights, including, but not limited to, whether any foreign language translations of your domain name, either between roman-alphabet languages, between non-roman alphabet languages, or between roman-alphabet and non-roman alphabet languages, infringe or violate someone else's rights.

  6. Domain Name Registrant

    Registrar considers the entity named as the registrant contact for the domain name to be the registrant of that domain name and the entity authorized to transfer the domain name. Further, the billing contact is your agent with authority to act on your behalf with respect to the domain name registration or any other services obtained from Registrar, including (but not limited to) the authority to terminate, renew, or modify such services, or obtain additional services.

    IF A REGISTRANT TRANSFERS A DOMAIN NAME TO ANOTHER REGISTRAR OR TO A NEW REGISTRANT, THE SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH THAT DOMAIN NAME MAY TERMINATE FOLLOWING THE TRANSFER.

  7. Transfer of Registrar

    Your domain name may be automatically set to prevent a transfer to another Registrar by means of a registrar lock on your domain. By having a lock status on your domain, you are providing express objection to any and all transfer requests issued from another Registrar. Should you choose to transfer to another Registrar, you must contact your Service Provider and remove the lock prior to our receipt of the transfer request from the gaining Registrar.

  8. Parking Page

    Certain domain names registered through Registrar are pointed to a parking page. The parking page may be modified at any time by Registrar or your Service Provider without prior notice to you and may include such things as, without limitation (i) links to additional products and services offered by Registrar or its resellers, (ii) advertisements for products and services offered by third-parties, and (iii) an internet search engine interface.

2. URL Forwarding

URL Forwarding provides you with the capability to forward visitors to a domain name residing on Registrar's DNS servers to a Web site designated by you (a "forward to address").

You acknowledge and agree that you may use URL Forwarding to link your domain name to a forward to address, but you may not use URL Forwarding for unlawful purposes, in violation of any applicable laws or regulations, in violation of Registrar's rules or policies, or for the forwarding of a domain name not registered in your name, the forwarding to an invalid forward to address, or the unauthorized forwarding to a third party Web site.

3. Digital Certificates

Registrar may offer certain digital security services, including, without limitation, QuickSSLTM, QuickSSL PremiumTM, TrueBusinessID? and TrueBusinessID?Wildcard (collectively, "Certificate Services"). Prior to receiving Certificate Services, you must agree to be bound by the applicable Subscriber Agreement: in the case of QuickSSLTM, the Quick SSL Subscriber Agreement, located at http://www.geotrust.com/resources/cps/pdfs/quickssl_SA.pdf; in the case of QuickSSL PremiumTM, the QuickSSL PremiumTM Subscriber Agreement, located at http://www.geotrust.com/resources/cps/pdfs/quickssl_premium_SA.pdf; in the case of TrueBusinessID? the TrueBusinessID?Subscriber Agreement located at, http://www.geotrust.com/resources/cps/pdfs/True_businessid_SA_4.1.pdf; and in the case of TrueBusinessID?Wildcard, the TrueBusinessID?Wildcard Subscriber Agreement, located at http://www.geotrust.com/resources/cps/pdfs/True_businessid_SA_4.1.pdf, all as amended from time to time.

4. RCOM Shield

Registrar may choose to offer a domain masking service, called RCOM Shield. RCOM Shield allows you to protect the confidentiality of your personal contact information by registering your domain name in the name of a third party company, Whois, Privacy Protection, Inc., whose contact information will be displayed in the public "Whois" record instead of yours. Prior to receiving domain masking services, you must agree to be bound by the applicable provisions of Registrar's RCOM Shield Services Agreement, as modified by Registrar from time to time, which may be accessed by clicking here, and which is incorporated herein and made part of this Agreement by reference, in connection with your use of the RCOM Shield services described in this Agreement.

5. Fees, Service Term; Renewals

  1. Fees; Service Term; Renewal Reminders.

    As consideration for the Services, you agree to pay Registrar or your Service Provider the applicable Service(s) fees set forth on our Web site or your Service Provider's Web site at the time you request Services from Registrar. All fees are due immediately and are non-refundable, except as otherwise expressly noted in one or more of Sections 1-6. Unless otherwise specified, each domain name registration is for a one-year initial term (or such longer term as may be required by a particular registry administrator) and is renewable thereafter for successive one to ten-year terms, as set forth during the renewal process. Other Registrar Services are usually for one-year or one-month initial terms, or as otherwise specified during the ordering process, and are renewable thereafter for such terms as are specified during the renewal process. We reserve the right NOT to accept payment by check or cash.

    Any renewal of your Services with us is subject to our then-current terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, payment of all applicable Service fees at the time of renewal and in the case of renewal of a domain name registration, the registry administrator's acceptance of such renewal. It is your obligation to affirmatively renew any desired Service and to keep track of all Service expiration dates. Registrar cannot ensure that you will be notified in advance of any Service expiration dates. Please contact your Service Provider to learn more about the renewal service they have selected for you. In the event your Service Provider has enabled Registrar to send renewal notifications regarding your paid Services, we will attempt to send you a renewal reminder prior to the renewal of your registration at least fifteen (15) days in advance of the renewal date. Registrar will attempt to provide this reminder by email to the billing contact on file for the domain name registration.

    You agree to pay all value added, sales and other taxes (other than taxes based on Registrar's income) related to the Service(s) provided to you hereunder. All payments of fees for the Service(s) provided by Registrar shall be made in U.S. dollars. All sums due and payable that remain unpaid after any applicable cure period herein will accrue interest as a late charge of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less.

    In the event of a charge back by a credit card company (or similar action by another payment provider allowed by us) or other non-payment by you in connection with the applicable service or renewal fee, you acknowledge and agree that Registrar and Service Provider reserve all rights, in their sole discretion, regarding such domain name registration including, without limitation, the right to suspend, cancel or terminate the domain name registration or make such registration available to other parties for purchase. We will reinstate any such domain name registration solely at our discretion, and subject to our receipt of the applicable fee and our then-current reinstatement fee, currently set at $200.

    ALL FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, EVEN IF YOUR SERVICE IS SUSPENDED, CANCELLED OR TRANSFERRED PRIOR TO THE END OF THE THEN-CURRENT SERVICE TERM. Registrar reserves the right to change fees, surcharges, renewal fees or to institute new fees at any time, for any reason, at its sole discretion, without prior notice to you.

    You acknowledge and agree that, to the extent necessary, it is your responsibility to: (1) provide all equipment, including a computer and modem, necessary for you to establish a connection to the Internet; and (2) provide for your own connection to the Internet and pay any telephone service fees associated with such connection.

  2. Services Enrolled in Automatic Renewal.

    If elected by your Service Provider, the automatic renewal service is provided as a courtesy and helps to prevent unwanted deletion of a Service. For domain name registrations, such service will attempt to renew your Service(s) on or about the renewal date for a one year term (or such term as is specified by your service provider or as may be required by a particular registry administrator) by charging the credit card designated for the Service(s) in Domain Manager the then-current retail price for such renewal(s). For other Registrar Services, the automatic renewal service will attempt to renew your Service(s) for yearly or monthly terms, in accordance with your initial term of service (i.e., we will attempt to renew Service(s) ordered for one-month terms on a monthly basis, whereas we will attempt to renew Service(s) ordered for one-year terms for yearly renewal terms), using the credit card designated for such Service(s) in Domain Manager. The automatic renewal service is provided as a convenience for you but in no way guarantees a desired renewal. It is your obligation affirmatively to renew any desired Service. In addition, neither Registrar nor your Service Provider have any obligation to renew your Service(s) if the credit card designated for your Service(s) is not accepted according to Registrar's or Service Provider's payment processing systems, as applicable.

    You also acknowledge and agree that if you do not want Registrar's automatic renewal service to apply to your Services, you must affirmatively choose not to participate in (i.e., opt out of) this automatic renewal service by using Domain Manager or, if you do not have access to Domain Manager, by contacting your Service Provider. For services that are billed monthly, to terminate automatic renewal, you need simply to cancel your Service(s). Your failure affirmatively to opt out of the automatic renewal service constitutes your authorization and consent for Registrar or Service Provider (as applicable) to attempt automatically to charge your credit card the then-current retail price for such renewal.

  3. Your Obligations.

    You are solely responsible for the credit card and billing contact information you, your agents or assignees provide to Registrar or your Service Provider and you acknowledge and agree that you will promptly inform Registrar or your Service Provider of any changes thereto (e.g., change of expiration date or account number).

    You are solely responsible for ensuring the Services are renewed. REGISTRAR SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE RENEWAL OR ANY ATTEMPT TO RENEW THE SERVICES AS DESCRIBED HEREIN, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY FAILURE OR ERRORS IN RENEWING OR ATTEMPTING TO THE SERVICES. The foregoing limitation of liability is in addition to any other limitations of liability set forth in this Agreement.

6. User Name and Password; Domain Manager

Billing contacts may have access to Registrar's domain manager utility. If you are one of those users, you may use the domain manager utility to modify the zone file, DNS, IP, domain alias, MX Records, and contact information for certain gTLDs names registered through or administered by Registrar, or registered by a Registrar cobrand or other reseller. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to safeguard your selected User name and password from any unauthorized use. IN NO EVENT WILL REGISTRAR BE LIABLE FOR THE UNAUTHORIZED USE OR MISUSE OF YOUR USER NAME OR PASSWORD.

If you have more than one Registrar profile (i.e., you have registered multiple domain names through Registrar and have created a different user name and password profile for each domain name), be sure that you use the username and password for the domain name you intend to manage using domain manager. If you have more than one domain name associated with a username and password, you will be able to login and perform edits on all domain names associated with that username and password.

You further acknowledge that any changes you make through domain manager may take as long as 72 hours to become effective or may not become effective at all.

7. Security

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under that account and in connection with your use of the Service(s), and for any other actions taken in connection with a registered domain name, including those of your agents, assignees and other users to whom you give e-mail accounts associated with your domain name(s) ("E-mail Users"). You agree to notify Registrar immediately of any unauthorized uses of the account or any other breaches of security. You acknowledge and agree that Registrar cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from the failure to comply with this security obligation, or for any acts or omissions, of you or any of your agents, assignees or E-Mail Users, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions.

8. Changes to this Agreement or to Additional Rules or Policies

You agree that Registrar may modify this Agreement, as well as any additional rules or policies that are or may be published by Registrar, as necessary to comply with Registrar's ICANN agreement, or with any other agreements that Registrar is currently bound by or will be bound by in the future, or for any other reason in Registrar's sole discretion.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you agree that, during the term of this Agreement, we may: (1) revise the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and/or (2) change the Services provided under this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time (including, without limitation, changing service providers or subcontractors). Any such revision or change will be binding and effective 30 days after posting of the revised Agreement or change to the Service(s) on our Web site, or upon transmission to you at the e-mail address or postal address (by United States mail) provided by you for the registrant or administrative contact of your domain name , or such other email address as you may provide in connection with any Service, hereunder; provided, however, that terms and conditions for new services shall be effective immediately upon posting on our Web site and will be applicable to you when you order such new Service(s). Your continued use of any Service(s) purchased through Registrar shall constitute your acceptance of this Agreement as well as additional rules or policies that are or may be published by Registrar, each with the new modifications. If you do not agree to any of such changes, you may request that your Service(s) be cancelled or that your domain name registration be transferred to a different domain name registrar. You acknowledge and agree that such cancellation or request for transfer will be your exclusive remedy and our sole liability if you do not wish to abide by any changes to this Agreement or any additional rules or policies that are or may be published by Registrar from time to time.

Except as set forth in this Section 10, no employee, contractor, agent or representative of Registrar or its subsidiaries is authorized to alter or amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement except by means of a written document signed by you and an authorized officer of Registrar.

As further required by ICANN, you shall accept liability for harm caused by wrongful use of the domain name registration, unless you promptly disclose the identity of the licensee to a party providing you with reasonable evidence of actionable harm.

12. System Performance Degradation

Registrar depends upon its own and third party, including registry administrators, computer systems to provide the Services, and to provide timely information to Registrar's customer service team.

Occasionally, these computer systems are subjected to exceptional volumes of incoming data, service requests, processes, electronic mail messages, and/or WHOIS queries that result in significant degradation of system processing and response time.

Regardless of the reason, in those instances when there is system performance degradation, Registrar reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to filter or block electronic messages, data and/or processes originating from or traveling to the identified sources of the high volume traffic. Registrar will attempt to selectively restore service after system performance returns to normal limits, provided that such restoration does not result in an adverse impact on the system. Registrar further reserves the right to permanently filter or block repeated sources of high volumes of electronic traffic.

Finally, you acknowledge and agree that if your server is involved in an attack on any computer system, either with or without your knowledge or complicity, your account will be shut down while the matter is investigated and resolved in Registrar's absolute discretion.

Without limiting the foregoing, Registrar may, in its sole discretion, suspend, cancel, transfer or modify a domain name registration (a) to correct mistakes made by Registrar, another registrar, or the applicable registry administrator, (b) to resolve a dispute related to that domain name, (c) within thirty (30) calendar days of the creation date of that domain name registration, (d) if you materially breach this Agreement (including any applicable additional rule or policy) and do not cure such breach within five (5) calendar days of notice by Registrar, (e) if you use the domain name registered to you to send unsolicited commercial advertisements in contradiction to either applicable laws or customary acceptable usage policies of the Internet, (f) if you use a domain name in connection with unlawful activity, and (g) if and for so long as Customer fails to make payment of any fees when due in accordance with the Agreement.

You further acknowledge and agree that your domain name registration is subject to suspension, cancellation, transfer or modification pursuant to the terms of any rules or policies applicable to your domain name registration, including, but not limited to (i) the UDRP, (ii) any ICANN adopted policy, (iii) any registrar (including Registrar) or registry administrator procedures, or (iv) any other ccTLD registry administrator procedures.

You also agree that Registrar shall have the right in its sole discretion to suspend, cancel, transfer or otherwise modify your domain name registration at such time as Registrar receives what reasonably appears to be (a) an authentic notification from a court of competent jurisdiction, or (b) an arbitration award requiring the suspension, cancellation, transfer or modification of your domain name registration.

17. Governing Law

Except as otherwise set forth in the UDRP or any similar ccTLD policy with respect to any dispute over a domain name registration, 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 New York, as if the Agreement was a contract wholly entered into and wholly performed within the State of New York.

Except as otherwise set forth in the UDRP or any similar ccTLD policy with respect to any dispute over a domain name registration, any action to enforce this Agreement or any matter relating to your use of the Registrar site shall be brought exclusively in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, or if there is no jurisdiction in such court, then in a state court in New York County. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the adjudication of third party disputes (i.e., disputes between yourself and another party, not Registrar or Subcontractor) concerning or arising from use of domain names registered hereunder, you acknowledge and agree that you shall submit, without prejudice to other potentially applicable jurisdictions, to the jurisdiction of the courts (a) of the domain name holder's domicile, and (b) where Registrar's headquarters are located, currently New York City, N.Y.

18. Notices

Subject to the terms of Section 10 of this Agreement, you agree that, unless other instructions are posted on Registrar's Web site, any notices required to be given under this Agreement will be deemed to have been given if delivered by email or fax, or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by Federal Express or other recognized overnight delivery service to each of the parties in accordance with the most current contact information you have provided to us. All notices shall be effective upon receipt, except that email and fax notices shall be effective upon transmission. FOR PURPOSES OF GIVING NOTICE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT CONTACT INFORMATION MAY ONLY BE UPDATED BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS POSTED ON REGISTRAR'S OR SUBCONTRACTOR'S WEBSITE. REGISTRAR OR SUBCONTRACTOR SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO ATTEMPT TO CONTACT YOU AT ANY OTHER CONTACT INFORMATION THAT YOU MAY PROVIDE TO CUSTOMER SERVICE OR OTHERWISE. By providing such contact information, you agree that Registrar or Subcontractor may use the information you have provided to contact you via email, postal mail, telephone or fax in any format or manner. Registrar or Subcontractor may, but shall have no obligation to, send a single notice by various means of delivery (i.e., fax, email, certified mail or express mail). In no event shall Registrar or Subcontractor be liable to you for choosing to send notice to one address, or by one means of delivery, and not others.

19. Conflicts with other Agreements.

In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the terms and conditions governing your use of any service(s) provided by Registrar's third party service providers or any registry administrator, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern as it relates to any rights and remedies as between you and Registrar.

20. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be deemed in default hereunder, nor shall it hold the other party responsible for, any cessation, interruption or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder due to earthquake, flood, fire, storm, natural disaster, act of God, war, terrorism, armed conflict, labor strike, lockout, or boycott, provided that the party relying upon this section shall take all steps reasonably necessary under the circumstances to mitigate the effects of the force majeure event upon which such notice is based; provided further, that in the event a force majeure event described in this Section extends for a period in excess of thirty (30) days in the aggregate, Registrar may immediately terminate this Agreement and shall have no liability therefor.

21. General

You agree and acknowledge that any acceptance of your application for the Services and the performance thereof will occur at our offices in New York, New York, the location of our principal place of business.

Except as otherwise set forth herein, your rights under this Agreement are neither assignable nor transferable. Any attempt by your creditors to obtain an interest in your rights under this Agreement, whether by attachment, levy, garnishment or otherwise, renders this Agreement voidable at our option. You agree not to resell any of the Services without Registrar's prior express written consent.

YOU AGREE THAT REGARDLESS OF ANY STATUTE OR LAW TO THE CONTRARY, ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO USE OF THE SERVICES OR THE AGREEMENT MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE OR BE FOREVER BARRED. The section titles in the Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the parties. Except as expressly stated herein, this Agreement shall not be construed to create any obligation by Registrar to any non-party to this Agreement.

The failure of Registrar 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 Registrar 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. Registrar will amend or replace such provision with one that is valid and enforceable and which achieves, to the extent possible, the original objectives and intent of Registrar as reflected in the original provision.
