agree that your Registration Information will be replaced in any public WHOIS search with information
provided by the Company as determined in its sole discretion (the “Private WHOIS Contact
Information”).
- Although the Private WHOIS Contact Information will appear in any public
WHOIS search result, you are solely responsible for resolving any and all monetary, creditor, or other
claims that arise in connection with a legal or other dispute involving your domain name registration.
Use of the Domain Privacy service in no way alleviates your obligation to provide valid and accurate
Registration Information and to update and correct such information pursuant to the terms of this
Registration Agreement.

agree that you will not provide any third party with the Private WHOIS Contact Information for the

is not obligated to, review and forward communications in connection with your domain name that it

(whether delivered through fax, postal mail, or telephone), and you further authorize the Company to
either discard all such communications or return all such communications to the sender. You agree that:
(i) postal mail may be forwarded via regular mail forwarding or scanned and emailed electronically to
the email address listed in the Registration Information; (ii) emails will be forwarded to the email
address listed in the Registration Information; and (iii) callers will be directed to use the mailing or
email address listed on the Private WHOIS Contact Information and we will forward such mail or email
pursuant to the terms of this section; we will not relay phone messages to you. You agree to waive any
and all claims arising from your failure to receive communications directed to your domain name but not
forwarded or referred to you by the Company.
- If any domain name for which you are using the Domain Privacy service is
transferred to another registrar, Domain Privacy will automatically cease and no refund will be given
for any unused portion of the service.
- Failure to renew the Domain Privacy service while your domain name
registration is still valid will result in the Domain Privacy being suspended, terminated or cancelled
and your Registration Information will be displayed in any public WHOIS search. Domain Privacy renewals
after initial purchase will be at the standard list price, which is available by logging in to your
account.
- The Company expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without
any liability to you whatsoever, to suspend or cancel your use of the Service and/or reveal the
Registration Information in any public WHOIS search or to any third party at any time without notice to
you:

or with any notices, summons, court orders, official government inquiries or requests of law
enforcement;

Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy;

arising out of your use of the Domain Privacy service, including without limitation, to avoid a dispute
of any claim that the registered domain name violates or infringes a third party’s trademark,
trade name, or other legal rights;

any other agreement you’ve entered into with the Company, including, but not limited to, the Terms

the part of the Company, its parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, shareholders, agents, officers,
directors, or employees;

attention, including without limitation if you are using Domain Privacy to hide your involvement in
illegal or morally objectionable activities, including without limitation, activities that are intended
to or otherwise: (i) appeal purely to the prurient interests of third parties; (ii) defame, embarrass,
harm, abuse, threaten, or harass third parties; (iii) violate state or federal laws of India and/or
foreign territories; (iv) involve hate crimes, terrorism, or child pornography; (v) are tortious,

relate to or transmit viruses, Trojan Horses, access codes, backdoors, worms, time bombs, or any other
code, routine, mechanism, device or item that corrupts, damages, impairs, interferes with, intercepts or
misappropriates any software, hardware, firmware, network, system, data, or personally identifiable
information.
- Pursuant to paragraph 3.7.7.3 of ICANN’s
Registrar Accreditation Agreement (“RAA”), you agree that
if you license use of a Registered Name (as that term is defined in the RAA) to a third party, you are
nonetheless the Registered Name Holder of record (as that term is defined in the RAA) and are
responsible for providing the 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 Registered Name. A Registered Name Holder licensing use of a Registered
Name according to this provision shall accept liability for any harm caused by wrongful use of the
Registered Name, unless the Registered Name Holder discloses the current contact information provided by
the licensee and the identity of the licensee within seven (7) days to a party that provides the
Registered Name Holder reasonable evidence of actionable harm.
- DOMAIN PARKING
- Upon registration, the domain will be automatically placed on nameservers provided by the Company, and internet users that
type in the domain will be redirected to a “coming soon” page (collectively, “parking
a domain” or a “parked domain”). There is no charge for parking a domain. You
hereby consent to and authorize the Company’s placement of a “coming soon” page, and
its associated contents, on your parked domain. You may change the name server configuration (or
“un-park” the domain) after the registration is complete. If you need to register name
servers using the domains that you are currently registering, the names will initially be parked with
the Company until you modify the name servers after the domain registration is complete, using your
account manager.
- In the event your domain registration expires, your registration is no longer
valid. If you are able to renew the domain name, you may update the domain to its original
settings. After expiration, but prior to renewal, the domain may be pointed to an “expired”
page (collectively, “parking a domain” or a “parked domain”). There is no charge
for the parked domain. By not renewing the domain, the Company may place an “expired” page,
and its associated contents, on the parked domain. You may change the name server configuration (or
“un-park” the domain) after the renewal is complete. If you need to register name servers
using the domains that you are currently renewing, the names will initially be parked with the Company
until you modify the name servers after the domain renewal is complete, using your account
manager.
- The “coming soon” and/or “expired” pages may contain
advertisements and other materials selected by the Company, in the Company’s sole
discretion. This may include, but is not limited to third-party websites, third-party product and
service offerings, and/or Internet search engines. The Company reserves the right to collect and retain
all revenue obtained from such advertising and other materials.
- DNS Wildcard. In the
event you utilize the Company’s DNS management services and fail to configure a wildcard DNS for
your domain, the Company may insert wildcard DNS records to resolve subdomains of your domain that would
not otherwise resolve. The Company may point those subdomains to a web page that may contain
advertisements and other materials selected by the Company in the Company’s sole discretion. This
may include, but is not limited to, third-party websites, third-party product and service offerings,
and/or Internet search engines.
- REGISTRATION RENEWAL
- Renewal obligations. You are solely responsible for ensuring that any
and all domains and additional services are renewed prior to their expiration, should you so desire
their renewal. You may renew your domain at any time before the expiration date. the Company shall have
no liability to you or any third party in connection with the renewal, including, but not limited to,
any failure or errors in renewing the services.
- You may be notified at the Company’s sole discretion when renewal fees are
due. Should these fees go unpaid within the time specified in a notice or reminder regarding renewal,
your registration will be cancelled. Payment must be made by such other methods as we indicate in the renewal form. If your billing
information is not accurate, you are solely responsible for the failure to renew.
- Auto Renewal. You agree that if you paid for any
services provided hereunder by credit card or other payment service (such as PayPal or RazorPay), you
hereby authorize but do NOT obligate, the Company to automatically charge your credit card or payment
service account and renew the applicable service(s) on or before their renewal date using the credit
card or other acceptable payment information you have provided to the Company, unless you notify the
Company that you do not wish to participate in the Company’s automatic renewal process. The
Company must receive notification of your intent to not renew (opt-out) no later than 30 (thirty) days
prior to the renewal date. In the absence of such notification from you, the Company will automatically
renew, for a period of one (1) or two (2) years, as set forth by the applicable registry depending on
the TLD or ccTLD of your domain name, any domain that is up for renewal and will charge the credit card
or payment service account you have on file with the Company, at the Company’s then current rates.
You are solely responsible for the credit card or other payment information you provide to the Company
and must promptly inform the Company of any changes thereto (e.g., change of expiration date or account
number). If the credit card or payment service account has expired or is otherwise invalid, you are
solely responsible for a failure to renew and the Company shall not be liable for your failure.
- Expired domain names. You agree that we may place our contact
information in the WHOIS output for any expired domain name, as the failure to renew results in the
immediate cancellation of registration and loss of all rights to the domain name. Should you choose not
to renew your domain name, you agree that we may, in our sole discretion, renew and transfer the domain
name to a third party on your behalf as an Expired Domain Transfer (“ED Transfer”).
- New customers through domain auction or brokerage partners and/or ED
Transfers. If you are registering a domain name that was registered with, and not yet deleted by,
the Company at the time of your purchase, you acknowledge and agree that the term of your registration
will be for a period of one year from the original expiration date for the domain name immediately prior
to your purchase, as the registration is the result of an ED Transfer (defined above). You will not be
compensated for the inability to use the domain from the time it was expired until the time you are able
to use the domain in your account. NOTE: You may not transfer your domain name to another Registrar for
sixty (60) days from the date of any previous transfer.
- DOMAIN DISPUTE RESOLUTION POLICY
- You agree to be bound by the appropriate domain dispute resolution policy
(“Dispute Policy”) applicable to the domain that you have selected, including the Uniform
Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, which can be found here. The Dispute Policy has been developed by ICANN and/or the specific Registration
Administrator(s) and is incorporated by reference in this Registration Agreement. Certain disputes are
subject to the applicable Dispute Policy. In the event such dispute arises, you agree that you will be
subject to the provisions specified in the applicable Dispute Policy in effect at the time your domain
registration is disputed by a third party. You further agree that, in the event a domain dispute arises
with any third party, you will indemnify and hold the Company harmless pursuant to the terms and
conditions contained in the applicable Dispute Policy. The Dispute Policy may be modified at any time by
ICANN or the applicable Registry Administrator, and your continued use of the domain registered to you
after any such Dispute Policy modification shall constitute your acceptance of the modified Dispute
Policy and this Registration Agreement. If you do not agree to any of such changes, you may request that
your domain registration be cancelled or transferred to a different domain registrar. For the
adjudication of disputes concerning or arising from use of the second level domain (“SLD”)
name, the SLD holder shall submit, without prejudice to other potentially applicable jurisdictions, to
the jurisdiction of the courts (1) of the SLD holder’s domicile and (2) where registrar is
located. In addition, you agree to the rules of ICANN’s
Uniform Rapid Suspension (“URS”) and to submit to
any proceedings commenced pursuant to the URS, if applicable.
- CHANGE OF REGISTRANT OF DOMAINS
- Change of Registrant. Effective December 1, 2016,
for all gTLDs, any material changes to a domain name registrant’s name, company, email address, or
to the administrative contact email address (if there is no registrant email address) are subject to
ICANN’s Transfer Policy (available at https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/transfer-policy-2016-06-01-en).
- We are required to deny a change of registrant for any of the following
reasons:
- the domain name registration agreement has expired and the registrant no
longer has the right to renew the domain name or to transfer the domain name to another
registrar;
- the change of registrant was not properly authorized by the prior
registrant and the new registrant; or
- the domain name is subject to a domain name dispute proceeding,
including, but not limited to, the following:

us to act as “Designated Agent” to approve a change of registrant on behalf of the prior
registrant and the new registrant, consistent with and pursuant to the requirements of
ICANN’s Transfer
Policy.
- Transfer of registration to another registrant. The entity or person named as the “registrant” at the time the
controlling user name and password are secured shall be the registrant of the domain. You agree that
prior to the effectiveness of any transfer of ownership of your domain to another entity, the Company
reserves the right to enforce any amount published for the transfer of ownership of a domain. You
further agree that, as a condition of any such transfer of ownership of the domain, the party to which
you seek to transfer your domain shall agree in writing (electronic acceptance is acceptable) to be
bound by the terms and conditions of this Registration Agreement. Your domain will not be transferred
until we receive such written assurances (or reasonable assurance as determined by the Company in its
sole discretion) and actual payment of the transfer fee, if any is imposed. You acknowledge and agree
that if you attempt to transfer your domain registration without paying the Company the amount published
for the transfer of ownership of a domain, or if the entity to which you seek to transfer your domain
fails to agree in writing to be bound by all terms and conditions of this Registration Agreement, any
such transfer will be null and void, and will result in your domain registration being revoked without a
refund of any charges you have incurred in attempting to register or transfer that domain.
- When changing the name of registrant within the Company, you agree that at the Company’s discretion, the domain name may be changed
back to the registrant listed immediately prior to the change upon written (email is acceptable) request
within five (5) days (or such reasonable time as determined at the Company’s discretion) by
registrant that was listed immediately prior to change or in the event of suspected fraud in connection
with the change of the registrant name as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
- Transfer of registration to or from another registrar. When transferring a domain name into the Company as the new registrar of record and
simultaneously changing the name of registrant or subsequently changing the name of registrant, you
agree that the domain name may be re-transferred back to the losing registrar upon written (email is
acceptable) request by registrant that was listed immediately prior to transfer or upon request by
losing registrar or in the event of suspected fraud in connection with the transfer as determined by the
Company in its sole discretion. At the time of transfer into the Company, you must complete all required
information requested through the online transfer application, i.e., contact information, nameserver
information, etc. the Company may elect to accept or reject your domain name transfer application for
any reason at its sole discretion. You are not entitled to any refund in relation to the domain name
transferred to another registrar.

another domain registrar during the first sixty (60) days from the effective date of your: (1) initial
domain registration or (2) completion of a domain transfer into the Company. If you choose to utilize
our transfer lock service, you agree to provide written authorization (electronic acceptance is
acceptable) to the Company for the transfer of the domain to another registrar and agree to pay any and
all fees that may be charged by the Company to effect the transfer. You agree your request to transfer
your domain to another registrar may be denied pursuant to the Transfer Policy

entity listed as registrant as a principal to this Registration Agreement, including the applicable Dispute
Policy. The name listed as registrant of the domain or the appropriate officer of a listed Organization (at
the Company’s discretion) may individually choose to move the domain into another account for full
access to the domain, irrespective of wishes of agent/account owner/other listed contacts on that particular
