Account DB resources usage

IO Cloud Solutions provides its Customers a Semi-Dedicated hosting service with the ability to use MySQL and PostgreSQL database engines. The very nature of the service requires that database server resources are shared. The number of available databases depends on the package that the Customer has signed up for. The database engines described above should be used by the Customer in a manner that will not affect server performance and no downtime can be caused due to over-usage.

Every Semi-Dedicated hosting account can use up to 500 000, 750 000, or 1 000 000 queries per hour depending on the purchased plan, and also up to 60 concurrent connections towards a single database.

In case a database is detected to use more than 20% of the shared database server’s CPU, IO Cloud Solutions reserves the right to suspend the account associated with the database without any prior warning.

Account CPU/RAM resources usage

IO Cloud Solutions provides its Customers with the ability to use CPU and RAM on a shared principle. The resources described above should be used by the Customer in a manner that will not affect server performance and no downtime can be caused due to over-usage. In case a process is detected to use more than the 20%, 35% or 50% of the shared CPU/RAM, IO Cloud Solutions reserves the right to suspend the Semi-Dedicated account associated with the process without any prior warning.

Inodes resources usage

Every file (web page, image, email, etc) on your account uses up 1 inode. IO Cloud Solutions’s Semi-Dedicated plans do not have inode limitation.

Backups, data loss, and backup limit

Your use of the Semi-Dedicated service is at your sole risk. It is provided to you as a courtesy. Our backup service runs each week and we keep backups only from the last three weeks. IO Cloud Solutions is not responsible for files and/or data residing on your account. You agree to take full responsibility for files and data transferred and to maintain all appropriate backups of files and data stored on IO Cloud Solutions servers. Any shared account using more than 3GB of disk space will be removed from our off-site backup. Emails are not backed up. All data will continue to be mirrored to a secondary drive (RAID backup) which helps to protect against data loss in the event of a hard drive failure.

Traffic resource usage

IO Cloud Solutions provides an unlimited monthly traffic allowance. A fair use policy applies to the Unlimited data traffic packages on the Semi-Dedicated hosting platform. If you generate more server traffic than is deemed acceptable by IO Cloud Solutions, to the detriment of other IO Cloud Solutions customers, IO Cloud Solutions reserve the right to interrupt the service. Unlimited data transfer applies to your use of web pages only (HTML, PHP, etc.), and not for the storage of movies, pictures, audio files, downloads, etc. Unused traffic in one month cannot be carried over to next months. IO Cloud Solutions reserves the right to suspend and/or terminate any account that due to traffic over-utilization endangers the normal function of the Semi-Dedicated hosting platform.

Web server resource usage

IO Cloud Solutions provides a shared Semi-Dedicated hosting service. The very nature of the service requires that Web Server resources are shared. Every Semi-Dedicated hosting account can use up to 100 concurrent (simultaneous) connections originating from one IP (regardless of the domain, subdomain) and also 100 concurrent connections towards a single vHost (domain or subdomain).

IP resource usage

Due to depletion of the pool of unallocated IPv4 addresses, IO Cloud Solutions has to comply with the latest trends and technologies available to continue providing IPs to its customers in a sustainable way. IPs for SSL certificates are provided on a shared basis between multiple hostnames using the Apache SNI module. All SSL certificates we provide work properly with the new SNI technology, which is fully supported by the major modern browsers. However, visitors using older versions of browsers or browsers that do not support SNI might experience warnings about your website’s certificate.

This is true whether you provide the Feedback on the Site or through any other method of communication with us unless we have entered into a separate agreement with you that provides otherwise.

Force majeure circumstances

IO Cloud Solutions will not be held responsible in case of a failure or delay in doing its professional duties in consequence of circumstances beyond its control.

Domain Names Registration Policy

THIS AGREEMENT HAS A PROVISION FOR ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

This Registration Agreement (“Agreement”) sets forth the terms and conditions of your use of domain name registration and related services (“Services”). In this Agreement “you” and “your” refer to you and the registrant listed in the WHOIS contact information for the domain name. “We”, “us” and “our” refer to the registrars listed at the bottom of this document, any one of which will be the registrar for your domain name and all of which share common ownership, common terms and conditions, and a shared Services infrastructure. To determine which registrar your domain name is registered with, perform a WHOIS lookup at http://www.uwhois.com. You obtain the Services through your primary service provider, with whom we have a wholesale relationship (your “Primary Service Provider”). Your relationship with your Primary Service Provider may be governed by additional terms, as you and your Primary Service Provider may agree. “We,” “us” and “our” does not include your Primary Service Provider, except when specifically mentioned or unless your Primary Service Provider is one of us (i.e., if your Primary Service Provider is also one of the registrars listed at the bottom of this document).

  1. YOUR AGREEMENT: By using the Services, you agree to all terms and conditions of this Agreement; ICANN Policies, as published from time to time at icann.org; any rules, agreements, or policies of any registry of a relevant top-level domain name; the UDRP (defined below); the URS (defined below); and any rules, policies, or agreements of any relevant government. You explicitly agree that violation or refusal to comply with of any ICANN policy is a violation of this Agreement and may result in immediate termination of this Agreement.
  2. CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT: This Agreement may change over time, either through amendments by us, changes to ICANN policy or applicable law which may or may not be reflected in the text of this Agreement, or otherwise. Before any material changes to this Agreement become binding on you (other than changes resulting from a change in ICANN policy or applicable law), we or Your Primary Service Provider will notify you of such changes by, for example, sending email to you at your email address of record. If, as a result of such a change, you no longer agree with the terms of this Agreement, your exclusive remedies are (a) to transfer your domain name registration services to another registrar, or (b) to cancel your Services, including domain name registration services, with us. Your continued use of the Services following notification of a change in this Agreement indicates your consent to the changes. Unless otherwise specified by us, any such change binds you: (1) thirty (30) days after we or Your Primary Service Provider notify you of the change, or (2) immediately if such change is a result of a new or amended ICANN policy or applicable law.
  3. REGISTRANT RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES: ICANN has developed, in consultation with registrars, a webpage that identifies important registrant rights and responsibilities. The document provides a “plain language” summary of terms related to Registrant Rights and Responsibilities as set out in the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA), for posting on registrar websites. While some of the terms included do not specifically refer to registrants, those terms are included because of the potential import to understanding registrar/registrant relations. The document also summarizes registrant rights and responsibilities that arise within ICANN Consensus Policies and specifications, as those policies and specifications are incorporated into the RAA. The summarization of terms within this document do not override or replace the terms set forth in the RAA or within those specifications or policy. Please review these important Registrant Rights and Responsibilities.
  4. YOUR ACCOUNT: You must create an account to use the Services (“Account”). Your Account is typically managed and/or provided by your Primary Service Provider.

    3. ACCOUNT REVIEW, DATA MODIFICATION OR DELETION.

      To access, view, update, delete or download data associated with your domain name registration, you must be signed into your account. If you make a request to delete your personal data and that data is necessary for the products or services you have purchased, the request will be honored only to the extent it is no longer necessary for any services purchased or required for our legitimate business purposes or legal or contractual record keeping requirements. In some cases, when data is necessary for the provisioning of service, deletion of data may cancel or suspend the services you have purchased. If you have difficulty accessing your data, modifying it, or deleting it, you may request assistance by sending email to DPO @ Enom.com or using the contact information at https://www.enom.com/terms/privacy.aspx.
    4. OBLIGATIONS RELATING TO THE ACCOUNT AND WHOIS CONTACT INFORMATION:
      1. If, in obtaining Services, you provide information about or on behalf of a third party, you represent and warrant that you have (a) provided notice to that third party of the disclosure and use of that party’s information as set forth in this Agreement, and (b) obtained the third party’s express written consent to the disclosure and use of that party’s information as set forth in this Agreement.
      2. You represent and warrant that the statements in your application are true and that no Services are being procured for any unlawful or abusive purpose, including but not limited to the infringement of any intellectual property right or other right; the distribution of malware; the abusive operation of botnets; phishing; fraudulent or deceptive practices; the unauthorized transfer to yourself or any other party of any domain name or Services; counterfeiting; or any other activity in violation of any laws, rules, or regulations (the “Illegal Uses”). Providing inaccurate or unreliable information, failing to update information within seven (7) days of any change, engaging in any Illegal Uses, or failing to respond for over fifteen (15) days to inquiries by us concerning the accuracy of Account and WHOIS contact information will constitute an incurable material breach of this Agreement and be a basis for suspension and/or cancellation of the Services.
      3. You are responsible for regularly monitoring email sent to the email address in your Account. You may lose your rights to the domain name(s) or your right to receive the Services if you do not respond appropriately and timely to an email sent in conjunction therewith.
    5. ACCESSING YOUR ACCOUNT:
      1. In order to change any of your Account or domain name WHOIS information, you must access your Account with your Primary Service Provider, or your Account with us. It is your duty to safeguard your Account login identifier and password from any unauthorized use. Any person in possession of your Account login identifier and password will have both the ability and your authorization to modify your Account and domain name information, initiate transfers of your domain name(s) to other registrars, initiate registrant changes to your domain names which may terminate your rights to use such domain name(s), update DNS changes to your domain name(s) which may result in changes to the content associated with your domain name(s) and take other actions which may affect or terminate your rights and access to your domain name(s) and/or the Services.
      2. We will take reasonable precautions to protect the information we obtain from you from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration or destruction of that information and such reasonable precautions include procedures for releasing Account access information to parties who claim to have lost Account access information. If we take reasonable precautions in relation thereto, IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE IF SUCH REASONABLE PRECAUTIONS DO NOT PREVENT THE UNAUTHORIZED USE OR MISUSE OF YOUR ACCOUNT IDENTIFIER OR PASSWORD AND, EVEN IF WE FAIL TO TAKE REASONABLE PRECAUTIONS, OUR LIABILITY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL BE LIMITED BY THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY PROVISION FOUND IN PARAGRAPH 13 BELOW IN THIS AGREEMENT.
      3. If you contact us alleging that a third party has unauthorized access to your Account or domain names, we may charge you administrative fees, currently set at fifty dollars ($50) per hour, for our time spent in relation to the matter, regardless of whether or not we return control over the Account and/or domain name(s) to you. You will indemnify us for any reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs we may incur in relation to the matter, even if those fees and costs accrue as a result of defending an action, or responding to a threat of an action, initiated by you or a third party.
    6. SHARING OF WHOIS INFORMATION:
      1. We will make available the domain name registration information you provide or that we otherwise maintain to the following parties: ICANN, any ICANN-authorized escrow service, the registry administrator(s), and to other third parties as ICANN and applicable laws may require or permit (including through web-based and other on-line WHOIS lookup systems), whether during or after the term of your domain name registration services of the domain name. You irrevocably waive any and all claims and causes of action you may have arising from such disclosure or use of such information. We may make publicly available, or directly available to third parties, some, or all, of the information you provide, for purposes of inspection (such as through our WHOIS service) or for targeted marketing and other purposes as required or permitted by applicable laws, including by way of bulk WHOIS data access provided to third parties who enter into a bulk WHOIS data access agreement with us.
      2. ICANN may establish or modify the guidelines, limits and/or requirements that relate to the amount and type of information that we may or must make available to the public or to private entities, and the manner in which such information is made available. Information regarding ICANN’s guidelines and requirements regarding WHOIS can be found at http://www.icann.org/registrars/wmrp.htm, http://www.icann.org/registrars/wdrp.htm, and elsewhere on the ICANN website at http://www.icann.org/.
  5. OUR SERVICES:
    1. DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION.
      1. We are accredited registrars with ICANN for generic top level domain names (“gTLDs”) (such as .com, .net, .org, etc.). ICANN oversees registrations and other aspects of the gTLDs. We also are registrars for a variety of country code top level domain names (“ccTLDs”) (such as .co.uk, .de, etc.). For a partial list of registry administrators and for more information on gTLDs, see http://www.icann.org/tlds/.Domain name registrations are not effective until the registry administrator puts them into effect. Domain name registrations are only for limited terms which end on the expiration date. For domain names which are created as a new registration out of the pool of available domain names, the term begins on the date the domain name registration is acknowledged by the applicable registry. For domain name registrations which were not returned to the pool of available domain names, the term begins on the date the previous registrant’s domain name registration was acknowledged by the applicable registry.
      2. We and your Primary Service Provider are not liable or responsible in any way for any errors, omissions or any other actions by the registry administrator, including those arising out of or related to a request to register, renew, modify the settings for, or transfer of a domain name registration. You acknowledge that domain name registration is a service, domain name registrations do not exist independently from services provided pursuant to this or a similar registration agreement with a registrar, domain name registration services do not create a property interest and you have no such property interest in any domain name(s) which you may register with us.
      3. If you submit an application for pre-registration of a domain name, we do not guarantee that the domain name will be secured for you, or that you will have immediate access to the domain name if secured. In the event two (2) or more pre-registration applications are received for the same domain name and the domain name is secured, all applicants will be invited to a private auction to decide who gets the domain name. If you are such an applicant and wish to participate in the auction, you must first acknowledge any trademark claims notice that is shown to you and agree to any additional terms and conditions which may be applicable. We reserve the right to cancel any pre-registration request at any time and for any reason.
    2. AFTER MARKET DOMAIN NAMES:
      1. We offer for sale domain names that are registered to third parties (also known as aftermarket domain names) in a variety of top level domain names (“After Market Domain Name(s)”). All After Market Domain Name registrations are offered on a first come, first served basis. If you are the first to complete an After Market Domain Name registration application for a particular domain name, including payment of the purchase price we designate, we will initiate a transfer of the relevant After Market Domain Name to your Account. If the After Market Domain Name is at another domain registrar at the time of your purchase, we will transfer your purchased After Market Domain Name to us at no cost to you and will add one year to the existing registration period. If the After Market Domain Name is already located with us as the domain registrar at the time of your purchase and it has ninety (90) days or less from the date of your purchase before expiration, we will renew your After Market Domain for you for free. If the After Market Domain Name is already located with us as the domain registrar at the time of your purchase and it has ninety-one (91) days or more before expiration, you are responsible for all renewal fees. Any subsequent renewals of the After Market Domain Name will be charged at the then-current renewal fee. Once you submit your order for an After Market Domain Name, you have entered into a valid, binding and enforceable contract to pay the designated purchase price for the After Market Domain Name. Because we are selling After Market Domain Names initially registered to third parties, we have no control and make no representations regarding the accuracy or legality of domain names advertised, the accuracy or legality of any domain name listing, or the right and the ability of the third party seller to transfer the After Market Domain Name or complete the transaction. We do not control whether or not third party sellers will complete a transaction. We reserve the right to reject or cancel your After Market Domain Name registration for any reason including, but not limited to, any pricing errors. In the event your After Market Domain Name registration is rejected or cancelled by us, for any reason, we will refund in full the amount of the purchase price for the After Market Domain Name as your sole remedy.
      2. Once the After Market Domain Name is transferred into your Account, such After Market Domain Name may not be transferred away from us to another registrar during the first sixty (60) days following the transfer, during which time the After Market Domain Name may be placed on transfer lock. All of your obligations under this Agreement which apply to the registration or renewal of domain name(s) created by you apply to any After Market Domain Name(s) acquired by you, including but not limited to prohibition against any Illegal Uses.
    3. NOT INCLUDED IN THE SERVICES:
      1. We are not responsible to determine whether the domain name(s) you select, or the use you or others make of the domain name(s), or other use of the Services, infringes legal rights of others. It is your responsibility to know whether or not the domain name(s) you select or use or allow others to use infringe legal rights of others.
      2. We might be ordered by a court or arbitrator to cancel, modify, or transfer your domain name; it is your responsibility to list accurate contact information in association with your Account and to communicate with litigants, potential litigants, and governmental authorities. It is not our responsibility to forward court orders or other communications to you. Our policy is to comply with court orders from courts of competent jurisdiction as well as UDRP and URS Panel decisions. If you contact us informing us that you are contesting a court order from a court of competent jurisdiction, we may, but are not obligated to, place a transfer lock on the domain name pending the outcome of the dispute. If you contact us informing us that you are contesting an adverse UDRP or URS Panel decision, your time limits and procedures to do so are subject to the requirements set forth in the UDRP or URS. We will not delay implementation of a UDRP or URS Panel decision based solely on your informing us that you intend to contest the decision.
    4. USE OF FREE SERVICES:
      1. In consideration for providing additional optional Services for which we do not charge an additional fee, including, but not limited to, free trials, URL forwarding, email forwarding, free parking page, free website hosting, free email services, or other free services which we may introduce from time to time (as such list may be modified by us from time to time) (“Free Services”), we may display advertising in conjunction therewith through the use of pop-up or pop-under browser windows, banner advertisements, audio or video streams, appendices to emails, or any other advertising means, and we may aggregate for our own use, related usage data by means of cookies and other similar means. You will not be entitled to any of the proceeds we may earn as a result of such advertising. We may discontinue any Free Services at any time with or without providing you prior notice.
      2. From time to time we may provide you with free or low-cost domain name(s) registration services (“Promotional Name(s)”). If we do so, the services for the Promotional Name(s) will be placed in the same Account as your other domain name(s) and you will be listed as the registrant, though we may point the Promotional Name to IP address(es) of our choosing. If you want to assume control over the services provided to the Promotional Name, including the right to transfer or push the Promotional Name service to other registrars or other Accounts or the ability to control the DNS settings for the Promotional Name, you must pay the promotional registration fee or renewal fee, if any, and the terms of this Agreement will apply to such Promotional Name(s). If you do not want the Promotional Name services, you may request that you be removed as the registrant of such Promotional Names and we may be listed as the domain name registrant or we may delete such domain names or make them available to others. For any domain name services, including these Promotional Names, for which you are listed as registrant but for which you do not pay the registration or renewal fee, we may assign name-servers to the domain name and point the domain name to IP address(es) designated by us until the registration or renewal fee is paid.
  6. SERVICES PROVIDED AT WILL; TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF SERVICES:
    1. We and your Primary Service Provider may reject your domain name registration application or elect to discontinue providing Services to you for any reason within thirty (30) days of a Service initiation or a Service renewal. Outside of this period, we and your Primary Service Provider may terminate or suspend the Services at any time for cause, which, without limitation, includes (i) registration of prohibited domain name(s), (ii) abuse of the Services, (iii) payment irregularities, (iv) allegations of illegal conduct or infringement of any third party intellectual property right or other right, (v) failure to keep your Account or WHOIS information accurate and up to date, (vi) failure to respond to inquiries from us for over fifteen (15) calendar days, (vii) failure to comply with ICANN or registry policies, or (viii) if your use of the Services involves us in a violation or alleged violation of any third party’s rights or acceptable use policies, including but not limited to the transmission of unsolicited email or the violation or alleged violation of any intellectual property right or other right. No fee refund will be made when there is a suspension or termination of Services for cause.
    2. At any time and for any reason, we may terminate the Services thirty (30) days after we send notice of termination via mail or email, at our option, to the WHOIS contact information provided in association with your domain name registration. Following notice of termination other than for cause, you must transfer your domain name within such thirty (30) day notice period or risk that we may delete your domain name, transfer the registration services associated with your domain name to ourselves or a third party, or suspend or modify Services related to your domain name. If we terminate Services for a reason other than cause, we will provide a pro-rata refund of your fees.
    3. If we terminate or suspend the Services provided to you under this Agreement, we may then, at our option, make either ourselves or a third party the beneficiary of Services which are substantially similar to those which were previously provided to you. If we have grounds to terminate or suspend Services with respect to one domain name or in relation to other Services provided through your Account, we may terminate or suspend all Services provided through your Account.
    4. We and any registry reserve the right to deny, cancel, or transfer any domain name registration or transaction, or place any domain name(s) on lock, hold, or similar status, as we or the registry deem necessary, in either our or the registry’s unlimited and sole discretion: (i) to protect the integrity and stability of the registry; (ii) to comply with any applicable registry policies and/or procedures or ICANN rules and regulations, including without limitation, the registry agreement; (iii) to comply with any applicable laws, government rules or requirements, requests of law enforcement, or any dispute resolution process; (iv) to avoid any liability, civil or criminal, on the part of us or the registry, as well as our or the registry’s affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, and employees; (v) to correct mistakes by us, another registrar, or the registry in connection with the domain name; (vi) following an occurrence of any of the prohibited activities described in Section 4.b.ii above; (vii) per the terms of this Agreement; or (viii) for the resolution of disputes concerning the domain name.
  7. FEES AND TAXES:
    1. You agree to pay, prior to the effectiveness of the desired Services, the applicable Service fees set forth on the Pricing Page or otherwise communicated to you. In the event any of the fees for Services change, we will use reasonable efforts to give you thirty (30) days prior notice of such changes on the Pricing Page or by other reasonable means. Please check the Pricing Page often for any changes to our Services 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, unless this Agreement specifically provides for a refund. At our option, we may require that you pay fees through a particular payment means (such as by credit card or by wire transfer) or that you change from one payment provider to another.
    2. Unless specified otherwise, the fees for the Services do not include taxes. If we are required to pay ICANN fees or United States or international sales, use, property, value-added (“VAT”), royalty, license, or other taxes based on your use of the Services, then you must pay such fees or taxes. This section does not apply to taxes based on our income.
  8. PAYMENT ISSUES: 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 your payment of fees for any Services, we and/or your Primary Service Provider may suspend access to any and all Accounts you have with us and/or your Primary Service Provider and all interests in and use of any domain name registration services, website hosting, and/or email services, including all data hosted on our systems and/or on the systems of your Primary Service Provider may be assumed by us or your Primary Service Provider, as the case may be, or may be terminated. We may reinstate your rights to and control over these Services solely at our discretion, and subject to our receipt of the unpaid fees and our then-current reinstatement fee set forth on the Pricing Page or otherwise communicated to you. Reinstatement of Services by your Primary Service Provider may be according to the terms between you and your Primary Service Provider relating to reinstatement. If you have an issue with credit card or other payment charges, you should contact your Primary Service Provider, first, and us, second, regarding the issue before you contact your credit card or other payment process company to request a charge back or reversal of the charges.
  9. EXPIRATION AND RENEWAL OF SERVICES: It is your responsibility to keep your own records and to maintain your own reminders regarding when your domain name registration or other Services are set to expire. With respect to domain name registration services, we and/or your Primary Service Provider will email a renewal notification approximately one (1) month and approximately one (1) week prior to each such domain name’s expiration. In addition, if a domain name is not renewed, we and/or your Primary Service Provider will email an additional renewal notification within five (5) days after the expiration of such domain name’s registration. All renewal notifications will be sent to primary contact for the Account associated with the domain name registration. It is your responsibility to maintain current and accurate credit card information should any Services be placed on “auto-renew.” We and/or your Primary Service Provider will notify you when renewal fees are due. Should these fees go unpaid, your Services will expire or be cancelled. Payment must be made by credit card or such other method as we may allow or require from time to time. If you select automatic renewal of the Services, we may attempt to renew the Services a reasonable time before expiration, provided your credit card or other billing information is available and up to date. It is your responsibility to keep your billing information up to date and we are not required to, but may, contact you to update this information in the event that an attempted transaction is not processed successfully. Please note: for certain top level domain names, the automatic renewal option is not available.
  10. EXPIRATION OF A DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION: Immediately after the expiration of the term of domain name registration services and before deletion of the domain name in the applicable registry’s database, we may direct the domain name to name-servers and IP address(es) designated by us, including, without limitation, to no IP address or to IP address(es) which host a parking page or a commercial search engine that may display advertisements, and we may either leave your WHOIS information intact or we may change the contact information in the WHOIS output for the expired domain name so that you are no longer the listed registrant of the expired domain name.
    1. Reactivation Period Process. For a period of approximately thirty (30) days after expiration of the term of domain name registration services, we may provide a procedure by which expired domain name registration services may be renewed. We may, but are not obligated to, offer this process, called the “reactivation period.” You assume all risks and all consequences if you wait until close to or after the expiration of the original term of domain name registration services to attempt to renew the domain name registration services. We may, in our sole discretion, choose not to offer a reactivation period and we shall not be liable therefore. The reactivation period renewal process, if any, may involve additional fees which we and your Primary Service Provider may determine. We may make expired domain name services(s) available to third parties, we may auction off the rights to expired domain name services (the auction beginning close to the end or after the end of the reactivation period), and/or expired domain name registration services may be re-registered to any party at any time.
    2. After the reactivation period, if any, we may:
      1. Discontinue the domain name registration services at any time thereafter without notice. In which case, certain registry administrators may provide procedures by which discontinued domain name registration services may nonetheless be renewed. We will participate in this process, typically called the “Redemption Grace Period” (“RGP”), for each gTLD registry administrator that provides it. We may, in our sole discretion, choose not to participate in the RGP process with respect to any or all of your ccTLD domain name registration services and we shall not be liable therefore. If available, RGP typically ends between thirty (30) and forty-two (42) days after the end of the reactivation period of the domain name services. The current RGP fee is set forth on the Pricing Page and does not include any registration fees that may also be due. We are not obliged to contact you to alert you that the domain name registration services are being discontinued; or
      2. Pay the registry’s registration fee or otherwise provide for the registration services to be continued. In which case, we may then set the name-servers and the DNS settings for the domain name services, we may set the DNS to point to no IP address or to IP address(es) which host parking page(s) or a commercial search engine that may display paid advertisements, and we may change the contact information in the WHOIS output for the expired domain name so that you are no longer the listed registrant of the expired domain name. We do not have to pay you any of the proceeds we may earn as a result. We are not obliged to contact you to alert you that the domain name registration services are being continued. The domain name will be designated as being in the extended redemption grace period (“ERGP”), and you will be allowed to assume, during the first 120 days of the then extant registration term, complete management of the domain name services, including the right to control the DNS settings, provided that you pay the ERGP fee (which is the same as the RGP fee) plus any registration fees. After the end of the 120-day period, if you do not exercise your rights under this provision, you have abandoned the domain name services, and relinquish all interests and use of the domain name services; or
      3. If we auctioned the domain name services to a third party, we may transfer the domain name registration services to such third party. In which case, the third party who won the auction for the domain name services will control the domain name services, including control over the WHOIS information and the DNS settings. You may recover the domain name registration services prior to the end of the reactivation period, as such reactivation period applied to you. We are not obliged to contact you to alert you that the domain name registration services are or were auctioned. We do not have to pay you any of the proceeds we may earn as a result of such an auction.
  11. TRANSFERS:
    1. Transfer of your domain name(s) services shall be governed by ICANN’s transfer policy, available at http://www.icann.org/transfers/, including the Registrar Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy, available at http://www.icann.org/en/transfers/dispute-policy-12jul04.htm as well as the UDRP and URS as described in Section 17 of this Agreement, as these policies may be modified from time to time. To transfer your domain name(s) you should first login to your Account to lock or unlock your domain name(s) and/or to obtain the EPP “AuthCode” which is required to transfer domain services in an EPP registry (such as .org). Alternatively, you should contact your Primary Service Provider to have your domain name(s) services locked or unlocked or to obtain the EPP “AuthCode.” If your Primary Service Provider is unresponsive, you may contact us to have your domain name(s) locked or unlocked or to obtain the EPP “AuthCode” though we may first contact your Primary Service Provider to request that the Primary Service Provider address the request. Only the registrant and the administrative contacts listed in the WHOIS information may approve or deny a transfer request. Without limitation, domain name services may not be transferred within sixty (60) days of initial registration, within sixty (60) days of a transfer, if there is a dispute regarding the identity of the domain name registrant, if you are bankrupt, or if you fail to pay fees when due. We will follow the procedures for both gaining and losing registrars as outlined in ICANN’s transfer policies. Transfer requests typically take five (5) business days to be processed. A transfer will not be processed if, during this time, the domain name registration services expire, in which event you may need to reinstate the transfer request following a redemption of the domain name, if any. You may be required to resubmit a transfer request if there is a communication failure or other problem at either our end or at the registry. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK FOR FAILURE OF A TRANSFER WHETHER OR NOT THE TRANSFER PROCESS IS INITIATED CLOSE TO THE END OF A REGISTRATION TERM.
    2. Upon initial registration, we may place a “Registrar Lock” (“ClientTransferProhibited” status) on your domain name services and this will prevent your domain name services from being transferred without your authorization, though we are not required to do so. By allowing your domain name services to remain locked, you provide express objection to any and all transfer requests until the lock is removed, which may be done within your Account.
    3. You explicitly authorize us to act as your “Designated Agent” (as defined in ICANN’s transfer policy) to approve each “Change of Registrant” (as defined in ICANN’s transfer policy) on your behalf.
  12. OWNERSHIP OF INFORMATION AND DATA: We own all database, compilation, collective and similar rights, title and interests worldwide in our domain name database, and all information and derivative works generated from the domain name database. We own the following information for those registrations for which we are the registrar: (a) the original creation date of the registration, (b) the expiration date of the registration, (c) the name, postal address, e-mail address, voice telephone number, and where available fax number of the registrant and all contacts for the domain name registration, (d) any remarks concerning the registered domain name that appear or should appear in the WHOIS or similar database, and (e) any other information we generate or obtain in connection with the provision of Services, other than the domain name being registered, the IP addresses of the primary nameserver and any secondary nameservers for the domain name, and the corresponding names of those nameservers. We do not have any ownership interest in your specific personal registration information outside of our rights in our domain name database.
  13. AGENTS AND LICENSES: If you are registering a domain name for or on behalf of someone else, you represent that you have the authority to and will bind that person as a principal to all terms and conditions provided herein. If you license the use of a domain name you register to us or a to third party, you remain the domain name holder of record, and remain responsible for all obligations at law and under this Agreement, including but not limited to payment obligations, and providing (and updating, as necessary) both your own full contact information, and accurate technical, administrative, billing and zone contact information adequate to facilitate timely resolution of any problems that arise in connection with the domain name and domain name registration and for ensuring non-infringement of any third party intellectual property rights or other rights.
  14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY (a) SUSPENSION OR LOSS OF THE SERVICES, (b) USE OF THE SERVICES, (c) INTERRUPTION OF SERVICES OR INTERRUPTION OF YOUR BUSINESS, (d) ACCESS DELAYS OR ACCESS INTERRUPTIONS TO OUR WEB SITE(S) OR SERVICES OR DELAYS OR ACCESS INTERRUPTIONS YOU EXPERIENCE IN RELATION TO A DOMAIN NAME REGISTERED WITH US; (e) LOSS OR LIABILITY RESULTING FROM ACTS OF OR EVENTS BEYOND OUR CONTROL (f) DATA NON-DELIVERY, MIS-DELIVERY, CORRUPTION, DESTRUCTION OR OTHER MODIFICATION; (g) THE PROCESSING OF AN APPLICATION FOR A DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION; (h) LOSS OR LIABILITY RESULTING FROM THE UNAUTHORIZED USE OR MISUSE OF YOUR ACCOUNT IDENTIFIER OR PASSWORD; OR (i) APPLICATION OF ANY DISPUTE POLICY. NEITHER WE NOR YOUR PRIMARY SERVICE PROVIDER WILL BE LIABLE FOR 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 OR YOUR PRIMARY SERVICE PROVIDER HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR OR YOUR PRIMARY SERVICE PROVIDER’S MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR SERVICES, BUT IN NO EVENT GREATER THAN FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS (US$400.00). BECAUSE SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN SUCH STATES, OUR AND YOUR PRIMARY SERVICE PROVIDER’S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
  15. INDEMNITY: You hereby release and agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us, ICANN, the registry operators, and your Primary Service Provider, as well as the contractors, agents, employees, officers, directors, shareholders, and affiliates of such parties harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, for third party claims relating to or arising under this Agreement, including any breach of any of your representations, warranties, covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, the Services provided hereunder, or your use of the Services, including, without limitation, infringement or alleged infringement by you, or by anyone else using the Services, of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity, or from the violation or alleged violation of any of our or ICANN’s operating rules or policies relating to the Services provided. We may seek written assurances from you in which you promise to indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless from the costs and liabilities described in this paragraph. Such written assurances may include, in our sole discretion, the posting of a performance bond(s) or other guarantees reasonably calculated to guarantee payment. Your failure to provide such assurances may be considered by us to be a breach of this Agreement by you and may, in our sole discretion, result in loss of your right to control the disposition of domain name Services for which you are the registrant and in relation to which we are the registrar of record. This indemnification is in addition to any indemnification (a) required under the UDRP, URS, or any other ICANN policy or any policy of any relevant registry; or (b) set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.

The UDRP and URS may be changed by ICANN (or ICANN’s successor) at any time. 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 UDRP and URS in effect at the time your domain name registration is disputed by the third party. 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 of the UDRP and URS. If you or your domain name is the subject of litigation, we may deposit control of your domain name record into the registry of the judicial body by providing a party with a registrar certificate.
  18. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION FOR DISPUTES:
    1. Except as otherwise set forth in the UDRP, URS, or any similar ccTLD policy, with respect to any dispute over a domain name registration, this Agreement, your rights and obligations and all actions contemplated by this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the United States of America and the State of Washington, as if the Agreement was a contract wholly entered into and wholly performed within the State of Washington.
    2. Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of the agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in King County, Washington, before one arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A CLASS MEMBER IN ANY FORM OF A CLASS PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and we expressly agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class proceeding. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. Service of process on you by us in relation to any dispute arising under this Agreement may be served upon you by first class mail to the address listed by you in your Account and/or domain name WHOIS information or by electronically transmitting a true copy of the papers to the email address listed by you in your Account and/or domain name WHOIS information.
    3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the adjudication of third party disputes (i.e., disputes between you and another party, not us) concerning or arising from use of domain names registered hereunder, you shall submit without objection, without prejudice to other potentially applicable jurisdictions, to the subject matter and personal jurisdiction of the courts (i) of the domicile of the registrant as it appears in the public WHOIS record for the domain name(s) in controversy, and (ii) where we are located, currently those State or federal courts whose geographic districts include Bellevue, Washington.
  19. NOTICES: Any notices required to be given under this Agreement by us to you will be deemed to have been given if delivered in accordance with the Account and/or domain name WHOIS information you have provided.
  20. ADDITIONAL REGISTRY REQUIREMENTS. Some registries have additional contractual requirements that you agree to by registering domain names from those registries. You are responsible for reviewing any terms and conditions applicable to or provided by such registries. You can find more information about these additional contractual terms here: https://www.enom.com/terms/terms-reseller-additional.aspx
  21. GENERAL: This Agreement and all applicable ICANN policies and the policies of any relevant registry, including but not limited to the UDRP and URS, together with all modifications, constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between you and us, and supersede and govern all prior proposals, agreements, or other communications. You represent, warrant, and agree that upon entering into this Agreement, that you are not relying upon and have not relied upon any representation, promise, or statement made by anyone which is not recited, contained, or embodied in this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the parties. The failure of us to require your performance 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. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or be so held by applicable court decision, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render this Agreement unenforceable or invalid as a whole. We will amend or replace such provision with one that is valid and enforceable and which achieves, to the extent possible, our original objectives and intent as reflected in the original provision. This Agreement may not be amended or modified by you except by means of a written document signed by both you and an authorized representative of us. The parties hereby incorporate the requirements of 41 CFR 60-1.4(a), 300.5(a) and 741.5, if applicable.

.US domain requirements (NEXUS)

There are additional contact attributes required:
1. Nexus Category.
2. Nexus Country.
3. Application Purpose.

.CA domain requirements

There are additional contact attributes required:
1. Legal type.
2. Registrant of the domain (individual or company name).
3. Optional description of Registrant.
4. Trademark number.
5. Registered location of Organization.

.DE domain requirements

Should you seek to register a .DE second level domain name you, the registrant, must also agree to the requirements of the .DE registration terms and conditions in German (an English translation is available for the convenience of English speakers, but the terms as they are found in the original German agreement are the actual authoritative and legally binding documentation).

You should be aware that the terms to register a second level domain in the .DE namespace are not strictly and finally documented. For example, fees for a second level domain registration in the .DE namespace are charged on a monthly basis. Registrars, however, may provide fee payment services which would allow you to pre-pay for longer time periods. If you pre-pay for a longer period of time, you will not be given a refund by this registrar if you decide to cancel your registration prior to the end of your pre-paid period. Also, a second level domain registration in the .DE namespace is for life, though you may cancel your registration by providing one month’s notice to DENIC. If you do not cancel your registration with DENIC and you stop paying the required registration fees to this registrar, then this registrar will stop making payments to DENIC on your behalf; in this case, DENIC may attempt to bill you directly (and not through this registrar). After a certain period of non-payment, DENIC may then terminate your domain name registration, though it is not clear whether you would also be released from the obligation to pay the registration fees incurred prior to the termination by DENIC. If you stop paying the required registration fees, this registrar may, but is not required to, terminate your .DE domain name registration on your behalf. It is not clear whether these terms are spelled out for prospective .DE registrants, so you are encouraged to perform your own due diligence to your own satisfaction before making the decision to register a second level domain registration in the .DE namespace.

.UK domain requirements

There are additional contact attributes required which are in effect until July 1st, 2019:
1. A legal type of the Registrant must be specified. The Registrant must be a UK resident with a valid UK address.
2. The company identification number (required for Legal Types).
3. The name of the Registrant / Company (BE CAREFUL, this cannot be changed easily).

Note: After July 1st, 2019, the above rules will no longer apply and anyone will be able to obtain a .UK domain name.

.CO.UK domain requirements

2. The company identification number (required for Legal Types).

1. Undertakings having their registered office, central administration or principal place of business within the European community.
2. Organizations established within the European Community without prejudice to the application of national law.
3. Natural persons residing within the European Community.

.ASIA domain requirements

Anyone (person or entity) can be a registrant of .ASIA domains. In order to satisfy the .ASIA Charter Eligibility Requirement: one of the associated contacts for the domain (registrant, administrative, technical or billing contact) must be a legal entity in Asia. A legal entity may be a natural person of a juristic entity such as a corporation.

There are additional contact attributes required:
1. Locality of establishment.
2. Type of Entity.
3. Form of Identity.
4. Form of Identity ID Number/Code of Reference.

Your domain will become live once it has been provided to you by the registry. You may have to submit more documentary evidence or participate in an auction before you are provided the domain.

.JP domain requirements

Any individual, group, or organization that has a permanent postal address in Japan may apply for a 2nd level, General-use JP Domain Name (DOMAIN.JP).

NO Guarantee of domain registration or successful renewal on free web hosting accounts
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Free web hosting platform is still in Development (Beta mode) and as such there are likely to be some minor defects in the system. Please note that we will do our best to provide you with decent service, however, we can NOT provide any guarantee whatsoever that we will be able to register or renew your domain successfully if you are hosted on the free web hosting platform, even if you have paid for your domain registration or renewal service.

Domain Renewal Notifications and Orders

Our system sends e-mail notifications 30, 15, 10, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 days prior to the domain’s expiration date. You are invited to renew your domain on time and if any TLD-specific renewal rules are applied, we include them in these e-mails.

We strongly recommend that you renew your domain a minimum of 48 hours prior to its expiration date. It is very important to understand that once you submit the order, it is being processed by the payment gateway, verified by our sales representatives and finally the system is sending your domain for renewal to our partnering domain registrar. This process takes time and we encourage you to be proactive and submit your renewal order early so you are sure that the payment and renewal process will be handled on time.

Transfers without EPP Key

.co.uk, .org.uk, .uk
If you initiate the transfer with eNom first, you must submit the request to the losing registrar within one week. If initiating the request to the losing registrar first, you must initiate your transfer with eNom by either the 8th of the current month or the 8th of the following month, whichever is closest to the current date. Request Retag from the losing registrar.

Transfer details

45 days rule
The 45-days transfer rule says: Due to a registry restriction (not eNom or any other registrar, but the global registry) if a domain is renewed and then transferred to another registrar within the first 45 days since the renewal, the domain will not have an additional year added to the expiration date.

.org 60 days restriction
Due to a registry restriction (Public Interest Registry; http://www.pir.org), .org domains have a 60-day transfer restriction. If a .org domain has been transferred between registrars, the Public Interest Registry does not allow a transfer of the domain for 60 days since the date the transfer was complete.

.co.uk, .org.uk, .uk 3 months rule
For .co.uk, .org.uk, .uk successful transfers where the domain name has more than 3 months remaining to expiration, the domain is not renewed for two years but just transferred. If the domain is due to be renewed in 3 months or less, the domain will be renewed for 2 years.

.co transfer rules
– Transfers of .CO domains are not permitted within the first 60 days of registration.
– Transfers of .CO domains are not permitted within 60 days of a previous transfer.
– Successful transfers will result in a one-year domain name renewal.

Renewal details
Auto-renew=ON
Certain domain names, like .EU, .DE, .BE and .JP can only be renewed via the auto-renew process.  Therefore, the auto-renew should be set to ‘ON’ with our registrar, if you would like these domains to be renewed at all.

This means, you have to pay/renew your domain in the last 30 days before its expiration date, which will set the auto-renew status to “ON” for your domain so that the registry can process the domain renewal.

We need to stress that any .EU, .DE, .BE and .JP domains which are not renewed prior the expiration date, then there is a chance you will not be able to get the domain back.

up to 10 years maximum renewal
Domain names can be registered for a maximum of 10 years. If your domain has not yet expired, you will be able to renew it for 9 years at the most.

Registration details

.ca approval email
When .CA domains are initially registered, CIRA sends an approval email to the registrant email contact.  The domain registration is not complete until the registrant approves it via this email. While in this “pending-approval” status, the domain will not resolve or otherwise function.  The domain will appear within your account, but you will not be able to fully manage it, especially at the registry level, until approved. The registrant has 7 days to approve the registration, otherwise, the registration is terminated.  If the registrant needs this approval email re-sent, please open a support ticket.

WHOIS details

.ca
The registry will no longer display the name, address, phone, fax or email address for Individual registrants.  It will remain as is for Non-Individual.

Terms of Services – REFUND POLICY

  1. Web Hosting Accounts

    All newly registered accounts, as well as upgrades from free to paid accounts, are subject to 30 days money-back guarantee. This is applicable only for annual web hosting plans (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years). In case you become dissatisfied with our services at any point within the first 30 days, you will receive a 100% refund for the hosting plan.

    In the case of web hosting renewals (after one or more billing cycles), the account is not subject to the 30 days money-back guarantee, hence the rule for the first 30 days does not apply.
  2. Semi-Dedicated Hosting

    The one-month subscriptions for the Semi-Dedicated Hosting services do not fall in the 30 days money back guarantee. Refunds for 1-month subscriptions for those services can be requested only 5 days after the initial order if the services have been granted. After the 5th day from granting the services, customers can request services cancellation, but a refund will not be issued.
    Dedicated IP address purchases for VPS hosting are final, provided on an as-is basis, non-refundable and cannot be changed. To obtain a different IP address, the customer needs to make a purchase for a new IP address.
  3. Dedicated Servers and VPS Hosting

    Dedicated server and VPS hosting accounts – The Dedicated server and VPS accounts are set up on a monthly prepay basis. Customers may cancel their accounts at any time, however they will not be entitled to a refund for the unused period of the prepaid month, since these services do NOT include Money Back Guarantee. Any incentives offered to the Customers upon sign-up will be also canceled.
  4. Domain Names

    Domain name sales are final and non-refundable. At the time of purchase, you are the sole owner of the domain(s) purchased through our service. In case you decide to leave our hosting service at the end of your billing cycle or take advantage of the 30 days money-back guarantee, domain names are transferable to another provider.

    Changes to registered domain names i.e. incorrect spelling, cannot be made once the domain has been purchased. Please explicitly verify the spelling of your domain name before purchase.
  5. Free Domain Names

    In case you get a free domain name within a web hosting package purchased, and you decide to take advantage of the 30 days money-back guarantee, you absolutely agree and understand that domain name registrations/renewals are non-refundable. Therefore, upon requesting a refund based on the 30 days money-back guarantee, you agree that the amount of regular price for the domain name registration/renewal will be held before a refund for the hosting account is issued.
  6. Domain Privacy Protection

    Domain privacy protection services are final and non-refundable. In case you decide to leave our hosting service at the end of your billing cycle, domain privacy protection services are not transferable, despite the fact that domain names can be transferred to another provider.

    SSL certificates have to meet different cancellation requirements, to find an up-to-date refund policy for SSL certificates please check our Certificate Services Agreement to find the Subscriber Agreements for your specific SSL type.
    IP address purchases for SSL certificates are final, provided on an as-is basis, non-refundable and cannot be changed. The IP addresses for SSL certificates work on a shared principle to reduce costs for the customer.
  8. Zacky Website Builder

    The Zacky Website Builder plan is an add-on service that works independently from the hosting platform. The service activation is subject to the 30 days money-back guarantee, but after the 30 day period, the service becomes non-refundable.
  9. Auto-renewals & Chargebacks

    We always aim to keep web hosting, VPS, domain, and SSL services without interruption. Therefore, the services we provide will be renewed automatically, unless notified prior to the expiration date of the specific service. Domain and SSL renewals are non-refundable as they are provided by third party companies, which have an irreversible order policy.

    Chargebacks are not accepted as a way of refunding. Any client who initiates a credit card chargeback of an order will be a subject to collections and legal actions. He/she will be charged starting from 20.00USD and up to 50.00USD for a higher amount, because when signing up with IO Cloud Solutions, customers accept these terms and conditions, thus agreeing to observe them strictly.

    IMPORTANT TERMS REGARDING RELATIONSHIP OF TERM OF DOMAIN PRIVACY PROTECTION SERVICES AND REGISTRATION TERM OF AN ASSOCIATED PRIVACY PROTECTED DOMAIN: You understand that your DOMAIN PRIVACY PROTECTION Services term begins on the date Your attempt to procure the Domain Privacy Protection Services is accepted by the Service Provider(s) and that it shall run for the unit of time which You order (typically, this would be one year). You understand that the Domain Privacy Protection Services term may be different than the registration term of the Privacy Protected Domain which is associated with the Domain Privacy Protection Services. If a Privacy Protected Domain expires and is deleted before the end of the term of the associated Domain Privacy Protection Services, then the Domain Privacy Protection Services associated with the domain will end when the Privacy Protected Domain is deleted and You understand that there will be no refund for any resulting unused portion of the Domain Privacy Protection Services term. If the Domain Privacy Protection Services term ends while the registration term for the Privacy Protected Domain is still ongoing, then the Domain Privacy Protection Services will no longer be provided, the personal information specified in section 2 shall be listed in the WHOIS output for the (then former) Privacy Protected Domain, and the communications forwarding services specified in section 6 will no longer be provided.

    8. If necessary to avoid any financial loss or legal liability (civil or criminal) on the part of the Backend Service Provider, its parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, shareholders, agents, officers, directors, and employees;
    9. OR if it comes to the Backend Service Provider’s attention that You are alleged to be using the Domain Privacy Protection Services for the purposes of engaging in, participating in, sponsoring or hiding Your involvement in illegal or morally objectionable activities, including but not limited to, activities which are designed, intended to or otherwise: (i) appeal primarily to prurient interests; (ii) defame, embarrass, harm, abuse, threaten, or harass; (iii) violate state or federal laws of the United States and/or foreign territories; (iv) involve hate crimes, terrorism or child pornography; (v) are tortuous, vulgar, obscene, invasive of a third party’s privacy, race, ethnicity, or are otherwise objectionable; (vi) impersonate the identity of a third party; (vii) harm minors in any way; or (viii) 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.

    You understand and agree that the Backend Service Provider has the absolute right and power, in its sole discretion and without any liability to You whatsoever, to suspend the Domain Privacy Protection Services, terminate provisioning of the Domain Privacy Protection Services, list the information You provided in section 2 in the WHOIS output or provide the information You provided in section 2 to a claimant, resolve any and all third party claims, whether threatened or made, arising out of Your use of the Privacy Protected Domain, or take any other action which the Backend Service Provider deems necessary.

    In the event that the Backend Service Provider takes any of the actions set forth above or in the event You elect to cancel the Domain Privacy Protection Services for any reason, neither Service Provider will refund any fees paid by You for the Domain Privacy Protection Services.

    You also acknowledge and agree that the Backend Service Provider may, in its sole discretion and without any liability to You whatsoever, cancel the Domain Privacy Protection Services during the first thirty (30) days after You procured the Domain Privacy Protection Services, and/or suspend Your rights under this Agreement and list the Domain Privacy Protection Addresses during resolution of a dispute or investigation of allegations.
  6. Forwarding communications

    You agree that the Backend Service Provider will review communications sent to the Domain Privacy Protection Addresses associated with Your Privacy Protected Domain. For communications received via certified or traceable courier mail (such as UPS, FedEx, or DHL), or first class U.S. postal mail which does not appear to be unsolicited commercial mail, the Backend Service Provider may either i) forward such communication to You or ii) may attempt to communicate to you a scanned copy of a page of the communication to ascertain Your desires with respect to forwarding the communication to You. You specifically acknowledge that the Backend Service Provider may elect to not forward to You (nor to otherwise communicate with You) regarding first class postal mail or email, fax, postal mail or telephone communications which appear to be unsolicited communications which offer or advertise the sale of goods or services or which solicit charitable contributions, or communications which appear to arise from Your having used the Domain Privacy Protection Services as a general mail forwarding service (see section 1, above). You authorize the Backend Service Provider to either discard all such communications or return all such communications to sender unopened. You agree to waive any and all claims arising from Your failure to receive communications directed to Your domain name but not forwarded to You by the Backend Service Provider, including failures which arise from the Backend Service Provider’s mistake in judging whether a communication appears to be an unsolicited communication or not.

    Email. The WHOIS directory generally requires an email address for every purchased domain name registration. When You purchase Domain Privacy Protection Services, the Backend Service Provider creates an email address for that domain, “yourdomainname@whoisprivacyprotect.com”. Thereafter, when messages are sent to the email address listed in the Domain Privacy protected Address, the Backend Service Provider forwards such messages to the email address You listed in section 2. If such an email address becomes non-functioning or if email to such address bounces, the Backend Service Provider is not obligated to attempt to contact You through other means. You agree that the Backend Service Provider may elect, in the Backend Service Provider’s sole discretion, to allow You to access Your Account and view email sent to the Domain Privacy Protection Addresses, though such alternative means of servicing Your Account is an option and not a requirement.

    Your Obligation to Respond to communications from the Backend Service Provider: When the Backend Service Provider receives a communication which may warrant forwarding to You, per the terms of this Agreement, the Backend Service Provider will send an email to the email address You provided to the Backend Service Provider pursuant to section 2. The email message will identify the sender of the correspondence and the date received. As an alternative, You agree that the Backend Service Provider may allow you to access Your Account to view full or partial scanned copies of (non-email) communications sent to the Domain Privacy Protection Addresses and that You may be required to interact with Your Account to have the physical originals of such communications forwarded to You and that if You do not interact with Your Account in the ways indicated upon accessing Your Account, that the communications may not be forwarded to You. In either event, You will have seventy-two (72) hours to decide whether to have the communication(s) forwarded. If you do not respond within this time period, the communication(s) will not be forwarded. The method of forwarding will be determined by the Backend Service Provider. Communication(s) may not be immediately forwarded upon Your election; there may be a delay and communication(s) may be aggregated to be forwarded together. The Backend Service Provider may begin charging fees for forwarding communications or may change the method by which communications are forwarded without a written notice.

    In the event that You do not respond to communications from the Backend Service Provider regarding communications received at the IDP Address, the Backend Service Provider may immediately reveal the information You provided pursuant to section 2 and/or cancel the Domain Privacy Protection Services regarding either the Privacy Protected Domain in question or with respect to all of Your Privacy Protected Domains, depending on the circumstances. This means that the WHOIS directory will revert to displaying Your name, postal address, email address and phone number. This action would be taken because the Backend Service Provider will not become involved in any legal or other matters between You and third parties.
  7. Limitation of liability

    UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL EITHER THE PRIMARY OR BACKEND SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, YOUR DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION, THE DOMAIN PRIVACY PROTECTION SERVICES, USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRIMARY OR BACKEND SERVICE PROVIDER(S) WEBSITE(S) OR THE MATERIALS AND CONTENT OF THE WEBSITE(S) OR ANY OTHER WEBSITES LINKED TO SUCH WEBSITE(S) OR YOUR PROVISION OF ANY PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION TO THE BACKEND SERVICE PROVIDER OR ANY THIRD PARTY.

    YOU AGREE THAT, IN ANY EVENT, THE PRIMARY AND BACKEND SERVICE PROVIDERS’ RESPECTIVE MAXIMUM LIABILITY TO YOU SHALL BE CAPPED BY THE LESSER OF THE AMOUNT OF FEES PAID BY YOU TO EACH SERVICE PROVIDER IN THE PRECEDING YEAR WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES WHICH GAVE RISE TO THE LIABILITY OR 100.00USD PER PRIVACY PROTECTED DOMAIN.
  8. Indemnity

    You agree to release, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Primary and Backend Service Providers, and their parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, shareholders, agents, directors, officers and employees and Your registrar, from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages or costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, arising out of or related in any way to this Agreement, the Domain Privacy Protection Services, the websites of the Service Providers, and/or Your use of Your Privacy Protected Domain.
