Registration Agreement
1. AGREEMENT. In this Service Agreement ("Agreement") "you"
and "your" refer to each customer; "we", us" and "our" refer to
SunVirtual Inc. and "Services" refers to the services provide by
us. This Agreement explains our obligations to you, and explains
your obligations to us for various Services. By selecting our
Services you have agreed to establish an account with us for
such Services. When you use your account or permit someone else
to use it to purchase or otherwise acquire access to additional
Services or to cancel your Services (even if we were not
notified of such authorization), this Agreement covers such
service or actions. By using the Services under this Agreement,
you acknowledge that you have read and agree to be bound by all
terms and conditions of this Agreement and any pertinent rules
or policies that are or may be published by us.
2. SELECTION OF A DOMAIN NAME. We cannot and do not check to
see whether the domain name you select, or the use you make of
the domain name, infringes legal rights of others. We urge you
to investigate to see whether the domain name you select or its
use infringes legal rights of others, and in particular we
suggest you seek advice of competent counsel. You may wish to
consider seeking one or more trademark registrations in
connection with your domain name. You should be aware that there
is the possibility we might be ordered by a court to cancel,
modify, or transfer your domain name. You should be aware that
if we are sued or threatened with lawsuit in connection with
your domain name, we may turn to you to hold us harmless and
indemnify us.
3. FEES, PAYMENT AND TERM. As consideration for the services
you have selected, you agree to pay us the applicable service(s)
fees. All fees payable hereunder are non-refundable unless we
provide otherwise. As further consideration for the Services,
you agree to: (1) provide certain current, complete and accurate
information about you as required by the registration process
and (2) maintain and update this information as needed to keep
it current, complete and accurate. All such information shall be
referred to as account information ("Account Information"). You
hereby grant us the right to disclose to third parties such
Account Information. The Registrant, by completing and
submitting the Domain Name Registration Agreement ("Registration
Agreement"), represents that the statements in its application
are true and that the registration of the selected Domain Name,
so far as the Registrant is aware, does not interfere with or
infringe upon the rights of any third party. The Registrant also
represents that the Domain Name is not being registered for any
unlawful purpose.
4. MODIFICATIONS TO AGREEMENT. You agree, during the period
of this Agreement, that we may: (1) revise the terms and
conditions of this Agreement; and (2) change the services
provided under this Agreement. Any such revision or change will
be binding and effective immediately on posting of the revised
Agreement or change to the service(s) on our web site, or on
notification to you by e-mail or regular mail as per the Notices
section of this agreement, Section 20. You agree to review our
web site, including the Agreement, periodically to be aware of
any such revisions. If you do not agree with any revision to the
Agreement, you may terminate this Agreement at any time by
providing us with notice by e-mail or regular mail as per the
Notices section of this agreement, Section 20. Notice of your
termination will be effective on receipt and processing by us.
You agree that, by continuing to use the Services following
notice of any revision to this Agreement or change in service(s),
you abide by any such revisions or changes. You further agree
that we, in our sole discretion, may modify our Dispute Policy
at any time. You agree that, by maintaining the reservation or
registration of your domain name after modifications to the
Dispute Policy become effective, you have agreed to these
modifications. You acknowledge that if you do not agree to any
such modifications, you may request that your domain name be
deleted from the domain name database.
5. MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR ACCOUNT. In order to change any of
your account information with us, you must use your Account
Identifier and Password that you selected when you opened your
account with us. Please safeguard your Account Identifier and
Password from any unauthorized use. In no event will we be
liable for the unauthorized use or misuse of your Account
Identifier or Password.
6. DOMAIN NAME DISPUTE POLICY. If you reserved or registered
a domain name through us, or transferred a domain name to us
from another registrar, you agree to be bound by our current
Domain Name Dispute Policy ("Dispute Policy") which is
incorporated herein and made a part of this Agreement by
reference. The current version of the Dispute Policy may be
found at our web site: http://sunvirtual.com/policies/domain_policies.htm#udndrp
Please take the time to familiarize yourself with such policy.
7. DOMAIN NAME DISPUTES. 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 of the dispute. You 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 contained in the Dispute Policy. For any
dispute, you agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts
of your domicile, the courts of the geographic location
indicated by your WHOIS information for your domain name, and
the courts of COLLIER County, Florida USA.
8. AGENTS. You agree that, if an agent for you (i.e., an
Internet Service Provider, employee, etc.) purchased our
Services on your behalf, you are nonetheless bound as a
principal by all terms and conditions herein, including the
Dispute Policy.
9. ANNOUNCEMENTS. We reserve the right to distribute
information to you that is pertinent to the quality or operation
of our services and those of our service partners. 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.
10. 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 such
Service(s). We and our contractors 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 development or interruption of your
Web site or email service. The registrant agrees that we will
not be liable for any loss of registration and use of
registrant's 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. In no event shall our maximum liability exceed
five hundred ($500.00) dollars.
11. INDEMNITY. You agree to release, indemnify, and hold us,
our contractors, agents, employees, officers, directors and
affiliates harmless from all liabilities, claims and expenses,
including attorney's fees, of third parties relating to or
arising under this Agreement, the Services provided hereunder or
your use of the Services, including without limitation
infringement by you, or someone else using the E-mail Service
with your computer, of any intellectual property or other
proprietary right of any person or entity, or from the violation
of any of our operating rules or policy relating to the
service(s) provided. You also agree to release, indemnify and
hold us harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained
in the Dispute Policy. When we are threatened with suit by a
third party, we may seek written assurances from you concerning
your promise to indemnify us; your failure to provide those
assurances may be considered by us to be a breach of your
Agreement and may result in deactivation of your domain name.
12. BREACH. You agree that failure to abide by any provision
of this Agreement, any operating rule or policy or the Dispute
Policy provided by us, may be considered by us to be a material
breach and that we may provide a written notice, describing the
breach, to you. If within thirty (30) calendar days of the date
of such notice, you fail to provide evidence, which is
reasonably satisfactory to us, that you have not breached your
obligations under the Agreement, then we may delete the
registration or reservation of your domain name or terminate
your e-mail account without further notice. Any such breach by
you shall not be deemed to be excused simply because we did not
act earlier in response to that, or any other breach by you.
13. NO GUARANTY. You agree that, by registration or
reservation of your chosen domain name, such registration or
reservation does not confer immunity from objection to either
the registration, reservation, or use of the domain name.
14. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. You agree and warrant that the
information that you provide to us to register or reserve your
domain name or register for other Services is, to the best of
your knowledge and belief, accurate and complete, and that any
future changes to this information will be provided to us in a
timely manner according to the modification procedures in place
at that time. You agree that your use of our Services is solely
at your own risk. You agree that such Service(s) is provided on
an "as is," "as available" basis. we expressly disclaims all
warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including
but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability,
fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We make
no warranty that the Services will meet your requirements, or
that the Service(s) will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or
error free; nor do we make any warranty as to the results that
may be obtained from the use of the Service(s) or as to the
accuracy or reliability of any information obtained through the
our e-mail service or that defects in the Services software will
be corrected. You understand and agree that any material and/or
data downloaded or otherwise obtained through the use of the our
e-mail 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

services purchased or obtained through the e-mail service or any
transactions entered into through the e-mail service. No advice
or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us
or through the e-mail service 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.
15. REVOCATION. You agree that we may delete your domain name
or terminate your right to use other Services if the information
that you provided to register or reserve your domain name or
register for other Services, or subsequently to modify it,
contains false or misleading information, or conceals or omits
any information we would likely consider material to our
decision to register or reserve your domain name. You agree that
we may, in our sole discretion, delete or transfer your domain
name at any time.
16. RIGHT OF REFUSAL. We, in our sole discretion, reserve the
right to refuse to register or reserve your chosen domain name
or register you for other Services, or to delete your domain
name within thirty (30) calendar days from receipt of your
payment for such services. In the event we do not register or
reserve your domain name or register you for other Services, or
we delete your domain name or other Services within such thirty
(30) calendar day period, we agree to refund your applicable
fee(s). You agree that we shall not be liable to you for loss or
damages that may result from our refusal to register or reserve,
or delete your domain name or register you for other Services.
17. SEVERABILITY. You agree that the terms of this Agreement
are severable. If any term or provision is declared invalid or
unenforceable, that term or provision will be construed
consistent with applicable law as nearly as possible to reflect
the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining terms
and provisions will remain in full force and effect.
18. NON-AGENCY. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the
Dispute Policy shall be construed as creating any agency,
partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the
parties.
19. NON-WAIVER. Our failure to require performance by the
Registrant 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.
20. NOTICES. Any notice, direction or other communication
given under this Agreement shall be in writing and given by

Uniform Domain Name
Dispute Resolution Policy
Note: This policy is now in effect. See www.icann.org/udrp/udrp-schedule.htm
for the implementation schedule.
(As Approved by ICANN on October 24, 1999)
1. Purpose. This Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution
Policy (the "Policy") has been adopted by the Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN"), is
incorporated by reference into your Registration Agreement, and
sets forth the terms and conditions in connection with a dispute
between you and any party other than us (the registrar) over the
registration and use of an Internet domain name registered by
you. Proceedings under Paragraph 4 of this Policy will be
conducted according to the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute
Resolution Policy (the "Rules of Procedure"), which are
available at www.icann.org/udrp/udrp-rules-24oct99.htm, and the
selected administrative-dispute-resolution service provider's
supplemental rules.
2. 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 your Registration Agreement are
complete and accurate; (b) to your knowledge, 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
knowingly use the domain name in violation of any applicable
laws or regulations. It is your responsibility to determine
whether your domain name registration infringes or violates
someone else's rights.
3. Cancellations, Transfers, and Changes. We will cancel,
transfer or otherwise make changes to domain name registrations
under the following circumstances:
a. subject to the provisions of Paragraph 8, our receipt of
written or appropriate electronic instructions from you or your
authorized agent to take such action;
of competent jurisdiction, requiring such action; and/or
c. our receipt of a decision of an Administrative Panel
requiring such action in any administrative proceeding to which
you were a party and which was conducted under this Policy or a
later version of this Policy adopted by ICANN. (See Paragraph
4(i) and (k) below.)
We may also cancel, transfer or otherwise make changes to a
domain name registration in accordance with the terms of your
Registration Agreement or other legal requirements.
4. Mandatory Administrative Proceeding. This Paragraph sets
forth the type of disputes for which you are required to submit
to a mandatory administrative proceeding. These proceedings will
be conducted before one of the administrative-dispute-resolution
service providers listed at www.icann.org/udrp/approved-providers.htm
(each, a "Provider").
a. Applicable Disputes. You are required to submit to a
mandatory administrative proceeding in the event that a third
party (a "complainant") asserts to the applicable Provider, in
compliance with the Rules of Procedure, that
(i) your domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a
trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights;
and
(ii) you have no rights or legitimate interests in respect of
the domain name; and
(iii) your domain name has been registered and is being used
in bad faith.
In the administrative proceeding, the complainant must prove
that each of these three elements are present.
b. Evidence of Registration and Use in Bad Faith. For the
purposes of Paragraph 4(a)(iii), the following circumstances, in
particular but without limitation, if found by the Panel to be
present, shall be evidence of the registration and use of a
domain name in bad faith:
(i) circumstances indicating that you have registered or you
have acquired the domain name primarily for the purpose of
selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the domain name
registration to the complainant who is the owner of the
trademark or service mark or to a competitor of that
complainant, for valuable consideration in excess of your
documented out-of-pocket costs directly related to the domain
name; or
(ii) you have registered the domain name in order to prevent
the owner of the trademark or service mark from reflecting the
mark in a corresponding domain name, provided that you have
engaged in a pattern of such conduct; or
(iii) you have registered the domain name primarily for the
purpose of disrupting the business of a competitor; or
(iv) by using the domain name, you have intentionally
attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to
your web site or other on-line location, by creating a
likelihood of confusion with the complainant's mark as to the
source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of your web
site or location or of a product or service on your web site or
location.
c. How to Demonstrate Your Rights to and Legitimate Interests
in the Domain Name in Responding to a Complaint. When you
receive a complaint, you should refer to Paragraph 5 of the
Rules of Procedure in determining how your response should be
prepared. Any of the following circumstances, in particular but
without limitation, if found by the Panel to be proved based on
its evaluation of all evidence presented, shall demonstrate your
rights or legitimate interests to the domain name for purposes
of Paragraph 4(a)(ii):
(i) before any notice to you of the dispute, your use of, or
demonstrable preparations to use, the domain name or a name
corresponding to the domain name in connection with a bona fide
offering of goods or services; or
(ii) you (as an individual, business, or other organization)
have been commonly known by the domain name, even if you have
acquired no trademark or service mark rights; or
(iii) you are making a legitimate noncommercial or fair use
of the domain name, without intent for commercial gain to
misleadingly divert consumers or to tarnish the trademark or
service mark at issue.
d. Selection of Provider. The complainant shall select the
Provider from among those approved by ICANN by submitting the
complaint to that Provider. The selected Provider will
administer the proceeding, except in cases of consolidation as
described in Paragraph 4(f).
e. Initiation of Proceeding and Process and Appointment of
Administrative Panel. The Rules of Procedure state the process
for initiating and conducting a proceeding and for appointing
the panel that will decide the dispute (the "Administrative
Panel").
f. Consolidation. In the event of multiple disputes between
you and a complainant, either you or the complainant may
petition to consolidate the disputes before a single
Administrative Panel. This petition shall be made to the first
Administrative Panel appointed to hear a pending dispute between
the parties. This Administrative Panel may consolidate before it
any or all such disputes in its sole discretion, provided that
the disputes being consolidated are governed by this Policy or a
later version of this Policy adopted by ICANN.
g. Fees. All fees charged by a Provider in connection with
any dispute before an Administrative Panel pursuant to this
Policy shall be paid by the complainant, except in cases where
you elect to expand the Administrative Panel from one to three
panelists as provided in Paragraph 5(b)(iv) of the Rules of
Procedure, in which case all fees will be split evenly by you
and the complainant.
h. Our Involvement in Administrative Proceedings. We do not,
and will not, participate in the administration or conduct of
any proceeding before an Administrative Panel. In addition, we
will not be liable as a result of any decisions rendered by the
Administrative Panel.
i. Remedies. The remedies available to a complainant pursuant
to any proceeding before an Administrative Panel shall be
limited to requiring the cancellation of your domain name or the
transfer of your domain name registration to the complainant.
j. Notification and Publication. The Provider shall notify us
of any decision made by an Administrative Panel with respect to
a domain name you have registered with us. All decisions under
this Policy will be published in full over the Internet, except
when an Administrative Panel determines in an exceptional case
to redact portions of its decision.
k. Availability of Court Proceedings. The mandatory
administrative proceeding requirements set forth in Paragraph 4
shall not prevent either you or the complainant from submitting
the dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction for independent
resolution before such mandatory administrative proceeding is
commenced or after such proceeding is concluded. If an
Administrative Panel decides that your domain name registration
should be canceled or transferred, we will wait ten (10)
business days (as observed in the location of our principal
office) after we are informed by the applicable Provider of the
Administrative Panel's decision before implementing that
decision. We will then implement the decision unless we have
received from you during that ten (10) business day period
official documentation (such as a copy of a complaint,
file-stamped by the clerk of the court) that you have commenced
a lawsuit against the complainant in a jurisdiction to which the
complainant has submitted under Paragraph 3(b)(xiii) of the
Rules of Procedure. (In general, that jurisdiction is either the
location of our principal office or of your address as shown in
our Whois database. See Paragraphs 1 and 3(b)(xiii) of the Rules
of Procedure for details.) If we receive such documentation
within the ten (10) business day period, we will not implement
the Administrative Panel's decision, and we will take no further
action, until we receive (i) evidence satisfactory to us of a
resolution between the parties; (ii) evidence satisfactory to us
that your lawsuit has been dismissed or withdrawn; or (iii) a
copy of an order from such court dismissing your lawsuit or
ordering that you do not have the right to continue to use your
domain name.
5. All Other Disputes and Litigation. All other disputes
between you and any party other than us regarding your domain
name registration that are not brought pursuant to the mandatory
administrative proceeding provisions of Paragraph 4 shall be
resolved between you and such other party through any court,
arbitration or other proceeding that may be available.
6. Our Involvement in Disputes. We will not participate in
any way in any dispute between you and any party other than us
regarding the registration and use of your domain name. You
shall not name us as a party or otherwise include us in any such
proceeding. In the event that we are named as a party in any
such proceeding, we reserve the right to raise any and all
defenses deemed appropriate, and to take any other action
necessary to defend ourselves.
7. Maintaining the Status Quo. We will not cancel, transfer,
activate, deactivate, or otherwise change the status of any
domain name registration under this Policy except as provided in
Paragraph 3 above.
8. Transfers During a Dispute.
a. Transfers of a Domain Name to a New Holder. You may not
transfer your domain name registration to another holder (i)
during a pending administrative proceeding brought pursuant to
Paragraph 4 or for a period of fifteen (15) business days (as
observed in the location of our principal place of business)
after such proceeding is concluded; or (ii) during a pending
court proceeding or arbitration commenced regarding your domain
name unless the party to whom the domain name registration is
being transferred agrees, in writing, to be bound by the
decision of the court or arbitrator. We reserve the right to
cancel any transfer of a domain name registration to another
holder that is made in violation of this subparagraph.
b. Changing Registrars. You may not transfer your domain name
registration to another registrar during a pending
administrative proceeding brought pursuant to Paragraph 4 or for
a period of fifteen (15) business days (as observed in the
location of our principal place of business) after such
proceeding is concluded. You may transfer administration of your
domain name registration to another registrar during a pending
court action or arbitration, provided that the domain name you
have registered with us shall continue to be subject to the
proceedings commenced against you in accordance with the terms
of this Policy. In the event that you transfer a domain name
registration to us during the pendency of a court action or
arbitration, such dispute shall remain subject to the domain
name dispute policy of the registrar from which the domain name
registration was transferred.
9. Policy Modifications. We reserve the right to modify this
Policy at any time with the permission of ICANN. We will post
our revised Policy at www.icann.org at least thirty (30)
calendar days before it becomes effective. Unless this Policy
has already been invoked by the submission of a complaint to a
Provider, in which event the version of the Policy in effect at
the time it was invoked will apply to you until the dispute is
over, all such changes will be binding upon you with respect to
any domain name registration dispute, whether the dispute arose
before, on or after the effective date of our change. In the
event that you object to a change in this Policy, your sole
remedy is to cancel your domain name registration with us,
provided that you will not be entitled to a refund of any fees
you paid to us. The revised Policy will apply to you until you
cancel your domain name registration.

party, you will be subject to the provisions specified in the
Dispute Policy. You 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 contained in
the Dispute Policy. You acknowledge that neither we nor the
Registry screen or otherwise review your domain name application
to verify that you have the legal right to use a particular word
or term. You are strongly encouraged to perform a trademark
search with respect to the words and/or phrases comprising your
domain name prior to applying for registration of the domain.
You agree that you will be solely liable in the event that your
use of a domain constitutes an infringement or other violation
of a third party’s rights.
9. POLICY. You agree that your registration of the domain
name shall be subject to suspension, cancellation, or transfer
pursuant to a Tucows, Registry, regulatory or government-adopted
policy, or pursuant to any registrar or registry procedure not
inconsistent with a Tucows, Registry, regulatory or
government-adopted policy, (1) to correct mistakes by us or the
Registry in registering the name, or (2) for the resolution of
disputes concerning the domain name. You acknowledge and
understand that by accepting the terms and conditions of this
agreement you shall be bound by Registry policies and any
pertinent rules or policies that exist now or in the future and
which are posted on the Registry website at http://www.enic.cc.
You are responsible for monitoring the Registry’s site on a
regular basis. In the event that you do not wish to be bound by
a revision or modification to any Registry policy, your sole
remedy is to cancel your domain name registration by following
the appropriate Registry policy regarding such cancellation.
10. AGENCY. Should you intend to license use of a domain name
to a third party you shall nonetheless be the domain name holder
of record and are therefore responsible for providing your own
full contact information and for providing and updating accurate
technical and administrative contact information adequate to
facilitate timely resolution of any problems that arise in
connection with the domain name. You shall accept liability for
harm caused by wrongful use of the domain name. You represent
that you have provided notice of the terms and conditions in
this Agreement to any third party licensee and that the third
party agrees to the terms hereof.
11. ANNOUNCEMENTS. We reserve the right to distribute
information to you that is pertinent to the quality or operation
of our services and those of our service partners. 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.
12. 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 such
Service(s). Neither we nor our contractors or third party
beneficiaries, including but not limited to Verisign, Inc. and
eNic Corporation, shall 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 jurisdictions
do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for
consequential or incidental damages, in such jurisdictions, 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.
13. INDEMNITY. You agree to release, indemnify, and hold us,
our contractors, agents, employees, officers, directors,
affiliates and third party beneficiaries, including but not
limited to Verisign, Inc. and eNic Corporation, harmless from
all liabilities, claims and expenses, including attorney's fees,
of third parties relating to or arising under this Agreement,
the Services provided hereunder or your use of the Services,
including without limitation infringement by you, or someone
else using the Service of any intellectual property or other
proprietary right of any person or entity, or from the violation
of any of our operating rules or policy relating to the
Service(s) provided. You also agree to release, indemnify and
hold us harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained
in the Dispute Policy. When we are threatened with suit by a
third party, we may seek written assurances from you concerning
your promise to indemnify us; your failure to provide those
assurances shall be a breach of your Agreement and may result in
deactivation of your domain name.
14. SCOPE OF REGISTRATION. You will be entitled to exclusive
use of the domain name during the term of the registration.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not use, display,
exploit or register a domain name which action may constitute
illegal activity or be in contravention or violation of a Tucows
or Registry policy. You acknowledge that a breach of this clause
will constitute a material breach of this agreement which will
entitle either Tucows or the Registry to terminate this
agreement immediately upon such breach without any refund. In
addition, both we and/or the Registry may, in our sole
discretion, refuse registration of your desired domain name
within thirty (30) calendar days from receipt of payment.
Neither Tucows nor the Registry shall be liable for any loss,
damage or other injury whatsoever resulting from any refusal to
register your desired domain name.
15. TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP. The person named as registrant at
the time the user name and password are secured shall be the
owner of the domain name. You agree that prior to transferring
ownership of your domain name to another person (the
Transferee") you shall require the Transferee to agree in
writing to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. Your domain name will not be transferred until we
receive such written assurances or other reasonable assurance
that the Transferee has been bound by the contractual terms of
this Agreement (such reasonable assurance as determined by us in
our sole discretion) along with the applicable transfer fee. If
the Transferee fails to be bound in a reasonable fashion (as
determine by us in our sole discretion) to the terms and
conditions in this Agreement, any such transfer will be null and
void.
16. BREACH. You agree that failure to abide by any provision
of this Agreement, any operating rule or policy or the Dispute
Policy, may be considered by us to be a material breach and that
we may provide a written notice, describing the breach, to you.
If within fifteen (15) calendar days of the date of such notice,
you fail to provide evidence, which is reasonably satisfactory
to us, that you have not breached your obligations under the
Agreement, then we may delete the registration or reservation of
your domain name. Any such breach by you shall not be deemed to
be excused simply because we did not act earlier in response to
that, or any other breach by you.
17. NO GUARANTY. You acknowledge that registration or
reservation of your chosen domain name does not confer immunity
from objection to either the registration, reservation, or use
of the domain name.
18. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. You agree that your use of our
Services is solely at your own risk. You agree that such
Service(s) is provided on an "as is," "as available" basis. We
expressly disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express
or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties
of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and
non-infringement. We make no warranty that the Services will
meet your requirements, or that the Service(s) will be
uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error free; nor do we make any
warranty as to the results that may be obtained from the use of
the Service(s) or as to the accuracy or reliability of any
information obtained through the Service or that defects in the
Service will be corrected. You understand and agree that any
material and/or data downloaded or otherwise obtained through
the use of 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 the Service or
any transactions entered into through the Service. No advice or
information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or
through the Service shall create any warranty not expressly made
herein.

required to provide us certain information and to update us

waive and release Tucows and/or the Registry from any and all
claims and causes of action you may have arising from any
disclosure, use, or unauthorized access of your Account

unreliable information, your wilful failure promptly to update
information provided to us, or your failure to respond for over
fifteen (15) calendar days to inquiries by us concerning the
accuracy of contact details associated with the your
registration shall constitute a material breach of this
Agreement and be a basis for cancellation of the domain name
registration.
22. RIGHT OF REFUSAL. We, in our sole discretion, reserve the
right to refuse to register or reserve your chosen domain name
or register you for other Services. In the event we do not
register or reserve your domain name or register you for other
Services, or we delete your domain name or other Services within
such thirty (30) calendar day period, we agree to refund your
applicable fee(s). You agree that we shall not be liable to you
for loss or damages that may result from our refusal to
register, reserve, or delete your domain name or register you
for other Services.

within a thirty (30) day period following registration if we
believe the registration has been made possible by a mistake,

are severable. If any term or provision is declared invalid or
unenforceable, that term or provision will be construed
consistent with applicable law as nearly as possible to reflect
the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining terms

Dispute Policy shall be construed as creating any agency,
partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the
parties.
25. NON-WAIVER. Our failure to require performance by you 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.

given under this Agreement shall be in writing and given by
sending it via e-mail or via postal service. In the case of

the time to familiarize yourself with this policy.
DOMAIN NAME DISPUTES. You acknowledge having read and
understood and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of
the following documents, as they may be amended from time to
time, which are hereby incorporated and made an integral part of
this Agreement:
(i) The Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy
(“Dispute Policy), available at http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp.htm;
(ii) The Start-Up Dispute Resolution Policy (“SUDRP”),
available at http://www.neulevel.com/countdown/stop.html; and
(iii) The Restrictions Dispute Resolution Criteria and Rules
(“RDRP”), available at http://www.neulevel.com/;
(collectively, “Dispute Policies”).
The SUDRP sets forth the terms and conditions in connection
with a dispute between a registrant of a .biz domain name
(“Registrant”) with any third party (other than Neulevel, Inc.
(“Registry Operator”) or Tucows over the registration or use of
a .biz domain name registered by you that is subject to the
Start-up Intellectual Property Notification Service (“SIPNS”).
SIPNS is a service introduced by Registry Operator to notify a
trademark or service mark holder (“Claimant”) that a
second-level domain name has been registered in which that
Claimant claims intellectual property rights. In accordance with
the SUDRP and its associated Rules, those Claimants will have
the right to challenge registrations through independent ICANN-accredited
dispute resolution providers.
The Dispute Policy sets forth the terms and conditions in
connection with a dispute between a Registrant and any party
other than the Registry Operator or Registrar over the
registration and use of an Internet domain name registered by
Registrant.
The RDRP sets forth the terms under which any allegation that
a domain name is not used primarily for business or commercial
purposes shall be endorsed on a case-by-case, fact specific
basis by an independent ICANN-accredited dispute provider.
POLICY. You agree that your registration of the domain name
shall be subject to suspension, cancellation, or transfer
pursuant to any Tucows, Registry Operator, ICANN or
government-adopted policy, or pursuant to any registrar or
registry procedure not inconsistent with an ICANN or
government-adopted policy, (1) to correct mistakes by us or the
applicable Registry in registering the name or (2) for the
resolution of disputes concerning the domain name.
AGENCY. Should you intend to license use of a domain name to
a third party you shall nonetheless be the domain name holder of
record and are therefore responsible for providing your own full
contact information and for providing and updating accurate
technical and administrative contact information adequate to
facilitate timely resolution of any problems that arise in
connection with the domain name. You shall accept liability for
harm caused by wrongful use of the domain name. You represent
that you have provided notice of the terms and conditions in
this Agreement to a third party licensee and that the third
party agrees to the terms hereof.
ANNOUNCEMENTS. We reserve the right to distribute information
to you that is pertinent to the quality or operation of our
services and those of our service partners. 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.
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 such Service(s).
Neither we nor our contractors or third party beneficiaries
shall 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 jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion
or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental
damages, in such jurisdictions, 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
miss-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. In no event shall
our maximum liability exceed five hundred ($500.00) dollars.
INDEMNITY. You agree to release, indemnify, and hold us, our
contractors, agents, employees, officers, directors, affiliates
and third party beneficiaries harmless from all liabilities,
claims and expenses, including attorney's fees, of third parties
relating to or arising under this Agreement, the Services
provided hereunder or your use of the Services, including
without limitation infringement by you, or someone else using
the Service of any intellectual property or other proprietary
right of any person or entity, or from the violation of any of
our operating rules or policy relating to the Service(s)
provided. You also agree to release, indemnify and hold us
harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the
Dispute Policy. When we are threatened with suit by a third
party, we may seek written assurances from you concerning your
promise to indemnify us; your failure to provide those
assurances shall be a breach of your Agreement and may result in
deactivation of your domain name.
TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP. The person named as Registrant at the
time the user name and password are secured shall be the owner
of the domain name. You agree that prior to transferring
ownership of your domain name to another person (the
Transferee") you shall require the Transferee to agree in
writing to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. Your domain name will not be transferred until we
receive such written assurances or other reasonable assurance
that the Transferee has been bound by the contractual terms of
this Agreement (such reasonable assurance as determined by us in
our sole discretion) along with the applicable transfer fee. If
the Transferee fails to be bound in a reasonable fashion (as
determine by us in our sole discretion) to the terms and
conditions in this Agreement, any such transfer will be null and
void. You acknowledge that you will not be entitled to change
registrars during the first sixty (60) days following the
registration of your domain name.
BREACH. You agree that failure to abide by any provision of
this Agreement, any operating rule or policy or the Dispute
Policy provided by us, may be considered by us to be a material
breach and that we may provide a written notice, describing the
breach, to you. If within thirty (30) calendar days of the date
of such notice, you fail to provide evidence, which is
reasonably satisfactory to us, that you have not breached your
obligations under the Agreement, then we may delete the
registration or reservation of your domain name. Any such breach
by you shall not be deemed to be excused simply because we did
not act earlier in response to that, or any other breach by you.
NO GUARANTY. You acknowledge that registration or reservation
of your chosen domain name does not confer immunity from
objection to either the registration, reservation, or use of the
domain name.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. You agree that your use of our
Services is solely at your own risk. You agree that such
Service(s) is provided on an "as is," "as available" basis. We
expressly disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express
or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties
of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and
non-infringement. We make no warranty that the Services will
meet your requirements, or that the Service(s) will be
uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error free; nor do we make any
warranty as to the results that may be obtained from the use of
the Service(s) or as to the accuracy or reliability of any
information obtained through the Service or that defects in the
Service will be corrected. You understand and agree that any
material and/or data downloaded or otherwise obtained through
the use of 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 the Service or
any transactions entered into through the Service. No advice or
information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or
through the Service shall create any warranty not expressly made
herein.
INFORMATION. As part of the registration process, you are
required to provide us certain information and to update us
promptly as such information changes such that our records are
current, complete and accurate. You are obliged to provide us
the following information:
(i) Your name and postal address (or, if different, that of
the domain name holder);
(ii) The domain name being registered;
(iii) The name, postal address, e-mail address, and voice and
fax (if available) telephone numbers of the administrative

the domain name.
Any other information, which we request from you at

services offered to you through your RSP.
DISCLOSURE AND USE OF REGISTRATION INFORMATION. You agree and
acknowledge that we will make domain name registration
information you provide available to ICANN, to the registry
administrators, and to other third parties as applicable. You
further agree and acknowledge that we may make publicly
available, or directly available to third party vendors, some,
or all, of the domain name registration information you provide,
for purposes of inspection (such as through our WHOIS service)
or other purposes as required or permitted by ICANN and
applicable laws.
You hereby consent to any and all such disclosures and use of
information provided by you in connection with the registration
of a domain name (including any updates to such information),
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 information by us.
You may access your domain name registration information in
our possession to review, modify or update such information, by

We will not process data about any identified or identifiable
natural person that we obtain from you in a way incompatible
with the purposes and other limitations which we describe in
this Agreement.
We will take reasonable precautions to protect the
information we obtain from you from our loss, misuse,
unauthorized accessor disclosure, alteration or destruction of
that information.
REVOCATION. Your wilful provision of inaccurate or unreliable
information, your wilful failure promptly to update information
provided to us, or your failure to respond for over fifteen (15)
calendar days to inquiries by us concerning the accuracy of
contact details associated with the your registration shall
constitute a material breach of this Agreement and be a basis
for cancellation of the domain name registration.
RIGHT OF REFUSAL. We, and/or Registry Operator, in our sole
discretion, reserve the right to refuse to register or reserve
your chosen domain name or register you for other Services. In
the event we do not register or reserve your domain name or
register you for other Services, or we delete your domain name
or other Services within such thirty (30) calendar day period,
we agree to refund your applicable fee(s). You agree that we
shall not be liable to you for loss or damages that may result
from our refusal to register, reserve, or delete your domain
name or register you for other Services.
We reserve the right to delete or transfer your domain name
following registration if we believe the registration has been
made possible by a mistake, made either by us or by a third
party. We also reserve the right to suspend a domain name during
resolution of a dispute.
SEVERABILITY. You agree that the terms of this Agreement are
severable. If any term or provision is declared invalid or
unenforceable, that term or provision will be construed
consistent with applicable law as nearly as possible to reflect
the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining terms
and provisions will remain in full force and effect.
NON-AGENCY. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the
Dispute Policies shall be construed as creating any agency,
partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the
parties.
NON-WAIVER. Our failure to require performance by you 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.
NOTICES. Any notice, direction or other communication given
