and expressly agree to the terms outlined therein.

name to a third party you shall nonetheless be the domain

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

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
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

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.
13. INDEMNITY. You agree to release, indemnify, and hold
us, our contractors, agents, employees,officers, directors,
affiliates and third party beneficiaires 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. TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP. The person named as administrative
contact 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). 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.
15. 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.
16. 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.

such Service(s) is provided on an "as is," "as available"

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.

are severable. If any term or provision is declared invalid

reflect the original intentions of the parties, and the

Dispute Policy shall be construed as creating any agency,
partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the
parties.
