Domain Name Registration Agreement
If you register or renew a domain with us, or associate
a domain with your hosting account, or otherwise obtain domain services from or
through us, you and your domain services will be subject to (i) the following
domain policy, and (ii) the terms of the Domain Registration Agreement set forth
below. See copy of the Enom Registration Agreement set forth below. Please note
that such agreement will apply to your domain services irrespective of whether
your registrar is Enom or another domain registrar, provided that in the event
of any conflict between the Enom domain registration agreement and that of your
domain registrar, the terms of the agreement of your registrar will take
precedence.
Domain Name Registrations and Renewals
|
- Upon a Customer's request, and subject to
these terms and conditions, World Eye Web will attempt to register a domain
name, or renew the registration of an existing domain name, on behalf of the
Customer with any domain name registrar that World Eye Web, in its sole
discretion, elects to employ for such registration or renewal (the "Chosen
Registrar"). World Eye Web reserves the right to refuse any request for
registration or renewal of a domain name.
- When registering a new domain name, or if
your domain name is already registered with World Eye Web's domain registrar,
we will attempt to enroll your domain in our
Automated Domain Renewal Service. Through this service, World Eye Web will
attempt to automatically initiate the renewal of any domain name you register
through World Eye Web. The renewal will be initiated 15 days before a domain's
expiration date. Of course, you can opt out of the Automated Domain Renewal
Service at any time through Domain Central. While participating in the
Automated Domain Renewal Service, you agree to be bound by the policies
associated with this service. In the event of conflict between those policies
and rules and this Agreement, this Agreement will control.
- The registration or renewal of any domain
name by World Eye Web on behalf of a Customer is subject to, and contingent
upon, (i) the Customer providing all information needed to complete such
registration, (ii) the availability of the domain name, (iii) the domain name
not being in violation of any applicable law, rule, statute or regulation,
(iv) the domain name not being in violation of any policy of the Chosen
Registrar, (v) any fees or costs for such domain name registration being paid
in advance by the Customer and (vi) the Customer's continued compliance with
any and all World Eye Web Terms of Service and the AUP.
- Once a domain name has been registered or
renewed through World Eye Web, no refunds will be given for the domain
registration or renewal fee.
- The Customer has full ownership rights over
any domain name registered or renewed through World Eye Web, where the domain
registration fees have been paid in full by the Customer. In the event of
fraud or failure to pay fees, World Eye Web will retain possession of the
domain name. In addition, if we receive a credit card charge-back for a domain
registered with us, World Eye Web will take ownership of the domain name(s)
registered.
- World Eye Web is not responsible for
maintaining the registrant information for domain names. The domain owner can
modify all this information using our control panel, by contacting our Support
Team or contacting the Chosen Registrar. The Customer agrees to continually
update all information required by the Chosen Registrar. Updating your
information with World Eye Web does not automatically update it with the
Chosen Registrar.
- World Eye Web is not responsible for any
domain name's availability. The Customer waives any and all claims against
World Eye Web for, and hereby releases World Eye Web from, any loss, damage,
liability, cost or expense arising out of, or relating to, the registration or
release of a domain name.
- The Customer acknowledges and understands
that any and all domain name registrations and renewals are subject to the
terms, conditions, rules, regulations, applicable law and policies of ICANN
(Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). In addition, any and
all domain name registrations and renewals are subject to the terms and
conditions of the Chosen Registrar, which can be found on the Web Site of such
Chosen Registrar. Upon request, World Eye Web will provide the Customer with
the name of the Chosen Registrar.
- The Customer understands and accepts that a
request for a domain name registration or renewal is no guarantee that the
Customer will receive the domain name that has been requested. The Customer
understands, accepts and appreciates the risks associated with circumstances
and vulnerabilities generally affecting the Internet and e-commerce in
general. The Customer waives any and all claims it may have against World Eye
Web for, and hereby releases World Eye Web from, any loss, damage, liability,
cost or expense arising out of, or relating to, the registration or release of
a domain name in such circumstances.
- World Eye Web is not liable for domain
disputes that may arise over changed registrant information for a domain name.
- World Eye Web is not responsible for
resolving any domain disputes. These issues must be resolved by the parties
involved, according to the legal bounds of ICANN, the domain name governing
body. World Eye Web will not act as an arbitrator, but will honor any ICANN
decisions.
More about Domain Renewals
|

- If we are unable to secure payment before the
domain renewal date, the domain name will expire.
- Forty (40) days after a domain renewal date,
a domain name will be released by the Registrar and made available to the
general public for re-registration.
- After a domain has expired, we will, upon a
Customer's request, put in a request with our Registrar to renew and
reactivate the domain name if all registration fees are paid (including any
extra fees required to pull a domain name out of its redemption period). This
process is normally complete within four (4) days.
- If we receive a dispute of payment, a
chargeback or a request for a refund from your credit card World Eye Web for a
renewed domain name, World Eye Web will take over the ownership of the domain
name in question.
- The Customer agrees that any and all
information provided in connection with any domain renewal request shall be
true and correct in all respects. In connection with any such request, World
Eye Web assumes responsibility only for processing such renewal request with
the Chosen Registrar. World Eye Web disclaims any and all responsibility to
verify any information provided in connection with the request and shall have
no responsibility or liability for any loss, delay, inconvenience,
interruption in service, service error or loss of data.
- World Eye Web bears no responsibility or
obligation to notify Customer of any approaching domain name expiration dates.
The Customer agrees to bear complete responsibility for such deadlines.
Transferring a Domain to World Eye Web
|

- If a Customer requests a domain name
registration or renewal that requires a transfer from one registrar or
reseller to another, the Customer is solely and completely responsible for
compliance with any registrar or reseller terms, conditions, procedures and/or
policies in connection with the request. World Eye Web shall have no liability
or responsibility resulting from a delay, inconvenience or expiration of a
domain name as a consequence of the Customer's failure to comply with such
terms, conditions, procedures and/or policies.
- While World Eye Web will assist you in any
way reasonable, we are not responsible for ensuring your domain name is
transferred to our servers. During the domain transfer process, Customer is
responsible for making any necessary domain name server changes and ensuring
the transfer is implemented correctly.
- LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. You agree
that our entire liability, and your exclusive remedy, with respect to any
Services(s) provided under this Agreement and any breach of this Agreement is
solely limited to the amount you paid for the initial registration of your
domain name. World Eye Web and its directors, employees, affiliates,
subsidiaries, agents and third party providers, Enom and the applicable
registries shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special
or consequential damages resulting from the use or inability to use any of the
Services or for the cost of procurement of substitute services. Because some
states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential
or incidental damages, in such states, our liability is limited to the extent
permitted by law. We disclaim any and all loss or liability resulting from,
but not limited to: (1) loss or liability resulting from access delays or
access interruptions; (2) loss or liability resulting from data non-delivery
or data mis-delivery; (3) loss or liability resulting from acts of God; (4)
loss or liability resulting from the unauthorized use or misuse of your
account identifier or password; (5) loss or liability resulting from errors,
omissions, or misstatements in any and all information or services(s) provided
under this Agreement; (6) loss or liability resulting from the interruption of
your Service. You agree that we will not be liable for any loss of
registration and use of your domain name, or for interruption of business, or
any indirect, special, incidental, or 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.
Enom 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.uwhois.com. 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. if your Primary Service Provider is also 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
(defined below) and the rules, policies, or agreements published in association
with specific of the Service(s) and/or which may be enforced by ICANN, the
registries, and governments.
PASSAGE OF TIME: This Agreement will change over
time. If, as a result of such a change, you no longer agree with the terms of
this Agreement, you agree that your exclusive remedy is to transfer your domain
name registration services to another registrar or request of us that we cancel
your domain name registration services. 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 to the website of either the Primary or
Backend Service Providers, or 15 days after you view the revised Agreement or 15
days after notification is sent to the e-mail address provided in association
with your domain name registration. 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.
You agree that if we terminate or suspend the Services provided to you under
this Agreement, that we may then, at our option, make either ourselves or a
third party the beneficiary of Services which are substantially similar to those
which were previously providing to you and that any reference in this Agreement
to termination or suspension of the Services to you includes this option. If we
have grounds to terminate or suspend Service(s) with respect 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 30 days after we send notice of
termination via mail or email, at our option, 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 a request to register, renew, modify the settings for, or transfer of
a domain name registration (our limitation of liability is explained further,
below). You further agree that domain name registration is a service, that
domain name registrations do not exist independently from services provided
pursuant to this or a similar registration agreement with a registrar, and that
domain name registration services do not create a property interest.
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, the domain name registration services
you are obtaining from us.
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 you, 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 Name Dispute
Resolution Policy ("UDRP"), which is available at
http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp-rules-24oct99.htm and
http://www.icann.org/dndr/udrp/policy.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 lose 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 AND OTHER 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 or reversal of the charges. 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
rights to and interest in and use of any domain name registration(s) services,
website hosting, and/or email services, including all data hosted on our systems
and/or on 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
to and control over these Services solely at our discretion, and subject to our
receipt of the unpaid fee(s) and our then-current reinstatement fee, currently
set at $200(US Dollars). 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. *please note: for certain TLDs, the
automatic renewal option is not available
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 and you understand that, if you do not provide the newly required
information, your registration or and/or other Service(s) may be suspended or
terminated or may not be renewed. Not providing requested information may
prevent you from obtaining all Service(s). You may 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 other Service(s) 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 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 information and 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 (US dollars) per hour for our time spent
in relation to the matter, 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) services 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 a "Registrar Lock" on your domain name
services and that this will prevent your domain name services from being
transferred without your authorization, though we are not required to do so. By
allowing your domain name services 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 domain services in an EPP registry (such as .org). Alternatively,
you should contact your Primary Service Provider to have your domain name(s)
services 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" though we may first contact
your Primary Service Provider to request that the Primary Service Provider
address the request. Only the registrant and the administrative contacts listed
in the WHOIS information may approve or deny a transfer request. Without
limitation, domain name services 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 registrant, 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 services expire
in which event you may need to reinstate the transfer request. 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 domain name registration services 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 such 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. You agree that we may make publicly
available, or directly available to third parties, some, or all, of the
information you provide, for purposes of inspection (such as through our WHOIS
service) or for targeted marketing and other purposes as required or permitted
by applicable laws. One of the ways that we may make some or all of the
information you provide available to the public or third parties is by way of
bulk WHOIS data access provided to third parties who enter into a bulk WHOIS
data access agreement with us. Please
click here if you would like your WHOIS information made available for bulk
access. We reserve the right to discontinue providing bulk WHOIS data access to
third parties.
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 our 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 streams, 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) services ("Promotional Name(s)"). If we
do so, the services for 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 services provided to the Promotional Name,
including the right to transfer or push the Promotional Name service to other
registrars or other accounts or 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 services, you may
request that you be removed as the registrant of such Promotional Names 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
from the namespace. For any domain name services, 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: Immediately after
the expiration of the term of domain name registration services and before
deletion of the domain name in the applicable registry's database, 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 change the contact information in the WHOIS
output for the expired domain name so that you are no longer the listed
registrant of the expired domain name.
Reactivation Period Process. For a period of approximately 30 days after
expiration of the term of domain name registration services, you acknowledge
that we may provide a procedure by which expired domain name registration
services may be renewed. You acknowledge and agree that we may, but are not
obligated to, offer this process, called the "reactivation period." You
acknowledge that you assume all risks and all consequences if you wait until
close to or after the expiration of the original term of domain name
registration services to attempt to renew the domain name registration services.
You acknowledge that we, for any reason and in our sole discretion, may choose
not to offer a reactivation period and that we shall not be liable therefore.
You acknowledge that reactivation period renewal processes, if any, may involve
additional fees which we and your Primary Service Provider may determine. You
acknowledge and agree that we may make expired domain name services(s) available
to third parties, that we may auction off the rights to expired domain name
services (the auction beginning close to the end or after the end of the
reactivation period), and/or that expired domain name registration services may
be re-registered to any party at any time.
After the reactivation period, you agree that we
may either (i) discontinue the domain name registration services at any time
thereafter, (ii) that we may pay the registry's registration fee or otherwise
provide for the registration services to be continued, or, (iii) if we auctioned
the domain name services to a third party, that we may transfer the domain name
registration services to such third party.
In the case of (i), above, you acknowledge that
certain registry administrators may provide procedures by which discontinued
domain name registration services may nonetheless be renewed. You acknowledge
and agree that we may, but are not obligated to, participate in this process,
typically called the "Redemption Grace Period" ("RGP"). You acknowledge that we,
for any reason and in our sole discretion, may choose not to participate in the
RGP process with respect to any or all of your domain name registration services
and that we shall not be liable therefore. If available, RGP typically ends
between 30 and 42 days after the end of the reactivation period of the domain
name services, as the reactivation period applied to you. The typical RGP fee is
$160 plus any registration fees. You agree that we are not obliged to contact
you to alert you that the domain name registration services are being
discontinued.
In the case of (ii), above, you acknowledge that
we may then set the name-servers and the DNS settings for the domain name
services, that we set the DNS to point to no IP address or to IP address(es)
which host parking page(s) or a commercial search engine that may display paid
advertisements, and you acknowledge that we may change the contact information
in the WHOIS output for the expired domain name so that you are no longer the
listed registrant of the expired domain name. You acknowledge that we do not
have to pay you any of the proceeds, if any, we may earn as a result. You agree
that we are not obliged to contact you to alert you that the domain name
registration services are being continued. In this case, the domain name will be
designated as being in the extended redemption grace period ("ERGP"), and you
will be allowed to assume, during the first 120 days of the then extant
registration term, complete management of the domain name services, including
the right to control the DNS settings, provided that you pay a fee of $160 (US
dollars) plus any registration fees. After the end of the 120-day period, if you
do not exercise your rights under this provision, you agree that you have
abandoned the domain name services, and relinquish all rights and use of the
domain name services.
In the case of (iii), above, the third party who
won the auction for the domain name services will control the domain name
services, including control over the WHOIS information and the DNS settings. You
may recover the domain name registration services for a period of up to 42 days
after the end of the reactivation period, as such reactivation period applied to
you. You agree that we are not obliged to contact you to alert you that the
domain name registration services are or were auctioned. You acknowledge that we
do not have to pay you any of the proceeds, if any, we may earn as a result of
such an auction. To exercise your rights to recover auctioned domain name
services, you must contact us and provide us with a certified letter addressed
to "Expiration Recovery" and including documents setting forth your identity and
address, which identity and address must be the same as that of the registrant
as it was listed in the WHOIS information for the domain name services prior to
expiration, a copy of a commonly accepted (in the United States) picture ID
(such as a drivers license or passport) which supports your identity and address
claim, a front and back photocopy of your credit card and you must a statement
authorizing payment of the reinstatement fee to such credit card, which is $160
plus any registration fees. In doing so, you must provide us with sufficient
time to allow us to receive and evaluate your documents and to contact the
auction winner prior to the end of 30 days after the end of the reactivation
period of the domain name services.
