name registration.
4. TERM. This Agreement shall remain in full force
during the length of the term of your domain name registration(s) as
selected, recorded, and paid for upon registration of the domain name.
Should you choose to renew or otherwise lengthen the term of your domain

another Registrar, you agree to be bound by the Dispute Policy that is
incorporated herein and made a part of this Agreement by reference. The
current version of the Dispute Policy may be found at
http://www.domainnamecom.com/legal/icann.htm. Please take the time to
familiarize yourself with this policy.
8. 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. 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

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. You acknowledge that you have reviewed the .tv
General Terms of Service which may be found at:
http://www.tv/en-def-5066945b5fcc/en/policies/tos.shtml and expressly
agree to the terms outlined therein.
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 a 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 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. 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 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.
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.
17. 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

the accuracy or reliability of any information obtained through the Service
or that defects in the Service will be corrected. You understand and agree

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

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.

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.
20. REVOCATION. Your wilful provision of inaccurate or
unreliable information, your willful 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.
21. 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.
We reserve the right to delete or transfer your domain
name within a thirty (30) day period following registration if we believe
the registration has been made possible by a mistake, made either by us or
by a third party.
22. 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.
23. 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.
24. 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.
