this Agreement (for .com, ,net, and .org domain names), the appropriate
Agreements for .TV and .WS domain name registrations, the accompanying
appropriate dispute policies and any registration rules or policies that are or may be

contained and referenced herein.
This Agreement will become effective when accepted

for any reason at its sole discretion, such rejection including, but not
limited to, rejection due to a request for registration of a prohibited domain
name.
Our Services:
Nominare is
a domain name registrar authorized by an Accredited ICANN Registrar. Nominare
will act as registrar for entities applying to register a domain
name under .com, .net, , .org, .WS and .TV Top Level Domains ("TLD"s). According
to the terms and conditions of our agreement with the
Accredited ICANN Registrar, your acceptance of these terms and conditions constitutes acceptance
of changes that may be made to this agreement as necessary
to comply with Nominare's agreement with the Accredited ICANN Registrar or any
other business purpose. All domain name registrations for .com, .net, .org,
.WS, or .TV TLDs are not effective until we have delivered the domain name
registration information you provide us to the registry administrator for the
.com, .net, .org, .WS, and .TV TLDs, as applicable, and the registry
administrator(s) put into effect your domain name registration.
You agree and acknowledge that Nominare and/or any
company or institution with which Nominare has establised an agreement, license
or contract for the domain name registration services, is not liable or responsible in any
way for any errors, omissions or any other actions by the Registry
Administrator(s) arising out of or related to your application and receipt of,
or failure to receive, a domain name registration. You further agree to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Registry Administrator(s) and their
directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all
claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal
fees and expenses) arising out of, or related to, your domain name
registration.
Fees:
As consideration for the domain name registration services provided by
Nominare you agree to pay Nominare, prior to the effectiveness of the desired
domain name registration, all applicable initial registration and renewal
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. Nominare reserves the right to change
fees, surcharges, renewal fees or to institute new fees at any time, for any
reason, at its sole discretion.
Your requested domain name will not be registered until Nominare receives
actual payment of the registration, renewal and reinstatement fees as
applicable. 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 the
payments of the registration fee for your domain name registration, you agree
and acknowledge that the domain name registration shall be transferred to
Nominare as the paying entity for that registration to the registry(ies) and
that we reserve all rights regarding such domain name including, without
limitation, the right to make the domain name available to other parties for
purchase. We will reinstate your domain name registration solely at our
discretion, and subject to our receipt of the initial registration or renewal
fee and any reinstatement fees we may charge.
You will be notified 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 credit card or such
other method as we may indicate in the registration application or renewal
form. We will renew your name for you provided your credit card or other
billing information is available and up to date, unless you instruct us
otherwise within the time specified. If your billing information is not
accurate and you wish to renew your domain name registration, we will contact
you to update this information and charge you accordingly.
Dispute Policy
You agree to be bound by the appropriate. Domain Name Dispute Policy
("Dispute Policy(ies)"), which are hereby incorporated and made a part
of this Agreement by reference. The Dispute Policy(ies) can be found at http://www.nominare.com/register/agreement/disputes/default.htm. These
policy(ies) have been developed by ICANN and/or the specific Registration
Administrator(s) and are a required component of every registration agreement.
Certain disputes, as specified in the Dispute Policy(ies), are subject to
that Policy. You agree that you will be subject to
the provisions specified in the Dispute Policy(ies) in effect at the time
your domain name registration is disputed by a third party, in the event such
dispute arises. You also agree that, in the event a domain name
dispute arises with any third party, you will indemnify and hold Nominare and/or any
company or institution with which Nominare has establised an agreement, license or contract for the
domain name registration services, harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions
contained in the Dispute Policy(ies). Nominare may modify the Dispute Policy(ies)
at its sole discretion at any time. Your continued use of the domain name
registered to you after any such Dispute Policyies) modification shall
constitute your acceptance of this Agreement and the modified Dispute Policy(ies).
If you do not agree to any of such changes, you may request that your domain
name registration be cancelled or transferred to a different domain name
registrar. You agree that such cancellation or request for transfer will be your
exclusive remedy if you do not wish to abide by any changes to this Agreement or
the Dispute Policy(ies).
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ICANN,
Nominare, Registry Administrator(s), and/or any company or institution with
which Nominare has establised an agreement, license or contract for the domain name registration
services, and their respective directors, officers, employees and
agents from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and
expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses arising out of or
related to your domain name registration and any disputes regarding same.
Change of Ownership
The entity named as the authorized contact at the time the controlling
user name and password are secured shall be the owner of the domain name. You
agree that prior to the effectiveness of any transfer of ownership of your
domain name to another entity, you will pay Nominare the then-current amount
set forth by Nominare for the transfer of ownership of a domain name. You
further agree that as a condition of any such transfer of ownership of your
domain name, the entity to which you seek to transfer your domain name shall
agree in writing to be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Your domain name will not be transferred until we receive such written
assurances, and actual payment of the transfer fee, or reasonable assurance of
payment of the transfer fee from some other entity (such reasonable assurance
as determined by Nominare in its sole discretion). You acknowledge and agree
that if you attempt to transfer your domain name registration without paying
Nominare the then-current amount set by Nominare for the transfer of ownership
of a domain name, or if the entity to which you seek to transfer your domain
name fails to agree in writing to be bound by all terms and conditions of this
Agreement, any such transfer will be null and void, and will result in your
domain name registration being revoked without a refund of any charges you
have incurred in attempting to register or transfer that domain name.
Transfer to another Registrar
You agree that you may not transfer your domain name registration to
another domain name registrar during the first sixty (60) days from the
effective date of your initial domain name registration with Nominare. You
agree to provide written authorization to Nominare for the transfer of the
domain name to another registrar and agree to pay any and all fees that may be
charged by Nominare to effect the transfer. Your request to transfer to another
registrar may be denied in situations described in the Dispute Policy,
including, but not limited to: a dispute over the identity of the domain name
holder; bankruptcy; and default in the payment of any fees.
