REGISTRATION AGREEMENT

This Registration Agreement ("Agreement") sets forth the terms and conditions of your use of Namecheap.com's ("Namecheap") domain name registration services to register an Internet domain name, your registration of that domain name, as well as other Namecheap domain name related services. In this Agreement "you" and "your" refer to each customer and "we", "us" and "our" refer to Namecheap. This Agreement explains our obligations to you, and explains your obligations to us for various Namecheap services. By selecting our service(s) you have agreed to establish an account with us for such services. When you use your account or permit someone else to use it to purchase or otherwise acquire access to additional Namecheap service(s) or to cancel your Namecheap service(s) (even if we were not notified of such authorization), this Agreement covers such service or actions. By using the service(s) provided by Namecheap under this Agreement, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement, the accompanying dispute policy and any pertinent rules or policies that are or may be published by Namecheap.

This Agreement will become effective when accepted by Namecheap. Namecheap may elect to accept or reject your domain name registration application 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.

1. Our Services.

Namecheap is a reseller to a registrar with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") for Top Level Domain Names (TLDs), currently .com, .net and .org. ICANN oversees registrations and other aspects of the TLDs. As a domain name reseller, Namecheap is, upon accepting your domain name registration application, your sponsor for that application. All domain name registrations we register for TLDs are not effective until we have delivered the domain name registration information you provide us to the registry administrator for the TLDs, as applicable, and the registry administrator puts into effect your domain name registration. Currently, the registry administrator for the .com, .net and .org TLDs is Network Solutions, Inc.

You agree and acknowledge that Namecheap is not liable or responsible in any way for any errors, omissions or any other actions by the registry administrator 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 and its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages and reasonable legal fees and expenses) arising out of, or related to, your domain name registration.

2. What We Do Not Do.

We cannot and do not check to see whether the domain name you select, or the use you make of the domain name, infringes legal rights of others. We urge you to investigate to see whether the domain name you select or its use infringes legal rights of others, and in particular we suggest you seek advice of competent counsel. You may wish to consider seeking one or more trademark registrations in connection with your domain name. You should be aware that there is the possibility we might be ordered by a court to cancel, modify, or transfer your domain name. You should also be aware that if we are sued or threatened with lawsuit in connection with your domain name, we may turn to you to hold us harmless and to indemnify us.

3. Fees.

As consideration for the domain name registration services and/or other services provided by Namecheap to you, you agree to pay Namecheap, prior to the effectiveness of the desired domain name registration, the applicable service(s) fees for the initial registration of the domain name and, should you choose to renew the registration, subsequent renewals of the registration. 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. Your requested domain name will not be registered unless we receive actual payment of the registration fee, or reasonable assurance of payment of the registration fee from some other entity (such reasonable assurance as determined by Namecheap in its sole discretion). As further consideration for the Namecheap service(s), you agree to: (1) provide certain current, complete and accurate information about you as required by the registration process and (2) maintain and update this information as needed to keep it current, complete and accurate. All such information shall be referred to as account information ("Account Information"). 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 Namecheap as the paying entity for that registration to the registry. We will reinstate your domain name registration solely at our discretion, and subject to our receipt of the initial registration or renewal fee and our then-current reinstatement fee, currently set at US$200. For more information, please click here. You will be notified via an email message or via your account information when renewal fees are due. Should these fees go unpaid within the time specified in a second 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 not automatically renew your name unless you instruct us otherwise within the time specified and provide us with your payment information. As a courtesy, we will try to inform you of the domain expiration and you are responsible for renewing your domain before it expires. We might be able to recover your expired domain for a fees within a certain period after expiry. We will reinstate your rights to and control over these Services solely at our discretion, and subject to our receipt of the unpaid fee(s) and our then-current reinstatement fee, currently set at US $200. Reinstatement of Service(s) by your Primary Service Provider may be according to their terms.

CONTINUED USE OF THE WG SERVICES AFTER CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN POSTED CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH CHANGES.

This Agreement is by and between WhoisGuard - Namecheap.com ("Backend Service Provider"), the party, if any, other than the Backend Service Provider who makes the WG Services available to you ("Primary Service Provider;" Backend Service Provider and Primary Service Provider, if any, being together referred to herein as the "Service Providers"), your heirs, executors, administrators, agents, successors and assigns ("You," "Your," and other appropriate formatives). This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of Your relationship with the Service Providers and Your use of the WG Services. You acknowledge that You have read, understand and agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement for transactions entered into by: (i) You on Your behalf; (ii) anyone acting as Your agent; (iii) anyone who uses the account You establish to obtain the WG Services, whether or not the transactions were on Your behalf and/or authorized by You.

This Agreement is in addition to domain name registration agreement(s) entered into by You and a registrar when you register or renew domain name registration(s).

THE WG SERVICES

If you subscribe to the WG Services, each domain name registration which you control and which You designate ("WG Domains") will thereafter be registered in the name of the Backend Service Provider, as registrant. Your name, postal address, email address, phone and fax numbers shall be kept confidential, subject to Section 5 of this Agreement. The following information (and not your personal information) will be made publicly available in the "Whois" directory for each WG Domain:

The Backend Service Provider's email address, postal address and phone and facsimile number for the registrant, administrative, technical, and billing contacts ("WG Addresses"); The primary and secondary domain name servers You designate for the WG Domain; The WG Domain's original date of registration and expiration date; The identity of Your registrar, domain name service provider (if different from registrar) and the status of the WG Domain with the registrar (such as, "active," "Registrar Lock," "clienthold," etc.).

While You will not be listed as the registrant for the WG Domains, and other than as described in this Agreement, the Backend Service Provider will not act to control the WG Domain(s). You will retain the right to sell, transfer, or assign each WG Domain; You will retain the right to control and set the DNS settings for the WG Domain(s); You will retain the right to renew each WG Domain name registration upon expiration (subject to your registrar's applicable rules and policies); and You will remain responsible to resolve any and all monetary or other legal claims that arise in connection with Your WG Domain(s), subject to the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

IMPORTANT: THE WG SERVICES ARE NOT A GENERAL MAIL FORWARDING SERVICE. You agree that You will not provide any third party with the WG Addresses for the purpose of having such third party transmit communications to you through the Backend Service Provider. Third parties may obtain the WG Addresses listed in the Whois directory by their own initiative, but You agree that You will not be the one to provide the WG Addresses to such third parties.

PROVISION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

You agree that for each WG Domain, You will provide to the Service Providers and maintain as current and accurate, the following information:

Your name, address, email address, postal address, phone and fax numbers; The name, address, email address, postal address, phone and fax numbers for the WG Domain's administrative, technical, and billing contacts; The primary and secondary domain name servers for the WG Domain;

RENEWALS AND FEES

If You have selected automatic renewal of the WG Services through the account which you use to manage Your WG Services ("Your Account"), You agree i) that the WG Services shall be automatically renewed 30 days prior to the end of Your WG Services term, ii) that the Service Provider will attempt to charge the credit card You have on file with the Service Provider at the then current rates, and iii) You waive any requirement to obtain your ongoing affirmative consent to any such automatic renewal. If you do not wish to automatically renew the WG Services, You agree that the exclusive method for communicating this to the Service Provider shall be by logging into Your Account to ensure that the auto-renewal or renewal option is not selected. You understand that You must do this at least 31 days prior to the end of the then current WG Service term. It is Your responsibility to keep Your credit card information current and accurate, including the expiration date. If Service Provider is unable to collect renewal or other fees, you agree that a Service Provider may contact You, but is not obliged to do so, and You agree that Service Provider may suspend or terminate the WG Services as a result of inability to obtain payment.

For domain name registrations which are serviced by a registrar other than a Service Provider: If available as an option and if such option selected by You, You agree that either Service Provider shall be authorized to contact your domain name registration service provider on Your behalf (and using the credit card provided by You) to renew the domain name registration of associated WG Domains.

If Backend Service Provider elects to begin charging fee(s) to forward communications to You (see below), You agree that you may be required to pay such fees before the communications will be forwarded. Backend Service Provider may change its service and forwarding fees at any time. Backend Service Provider may also charge reasonable fees for administrative tasks outside the scope of regular services. These may include, but are not limited to, customer service issues that require personal service and disputes that require legal services. You are responsible for paying all fees and taxes associated with using Backend Service Provider's services. Payment shall be made by credit card unless other options are indicated in Your Account. You agree that charges may appear on the credit card statement under a descriptive provider identifier, such as "Domain Name Registration Services." Fees are non-refundable. If for any reason there is a charge back for any fee previously charged to the credit card by Backend Service Provider, You agree that Backend Service Provider may, without notice, pursue all available remedies in order to obtain payment. Without limitation on other remedies which may be available under such circumstances, You agree that Backend Service Provider may assume complete ownership of the WG Domain(s), that the WG Domain(s) may be sold to third parties, or that the WG Domain(s) may be to pointed to IP numbers of Backend Service Provider's choosing, and that Backend Service Provider may immediate cancel Your Account and all services provided to You.

IMPORTANT TERMS REGARDING RELATIONSHIP OF TERM OF WG SERVICES AND REGISTRATION TERM OF AN ASSOCIATED WG DOMAIN: You understand that your WG Services term begins on the date Your attempt to procure the WG 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 WG Services term may be different than the registration term of the WG Domain which is associated with the WG Services. If an WG Domain expires and is deleted before the end of the term of the associated WG Services, then the WG Services associated with the domain will end when the WG Domain is deleted and You understand that there will be no refund for any resulting unused portion of an WG Services term. If the WG Services term ends while the registration term for an WG Domain is still ongoing, then the WG Services will no longer be provided, the personal information specified in section 2 shall be listed in the WHOIS output for the (then former) WG Domain, and the communications forwarding services specified in section 6 will no longer be provided.

In the event of any of the following:

If the WG Domain(s) is (are) alleged to violate or infringe a third party's trademark, trade name, copyright interests or other legal rights of third parties; If you breach any provision of this Agreement or an anti-Spam policy of either Service Provider; If You breach any provision of Your registrar's Registration Agreement; If necessary to protect the integrity and stability of the applicable domain name registry; If necessary to comply with any applicable laws, government rules or requirements, subpoenas, court orders or requests of law enforcement; If Backend Service provider is named as a defendant in, or investigated in anticipation of, any legal or administrative proceeding arising out of Your use of the WG Services or an WG Domain;
If necessary to comply with ICANN's Dispute Resolution Policy or other policies promulgated by ICANN (including policies which may preclude use a service such as ID Protect); If necessary to avoid any financial loss or legal liability (civil or criminal) on the part of Backend Service Provider, its parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, shareholders, agents, officers, directors and employees; OR if it comes to Backend Service Provider's attention that You are alleged to be using the WG Services for 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 tortious, 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, timebombs 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, THEN

You understand and agree that Backend Service Provider has the absolute right and power, in its sole discretion and without any liability to You whatsoever, to suspend the WG Services, close Your Account, terminate provisionment of the WG 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 WG Domain, or take any other action which Backend Service Provider deems necessary.

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

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

FORWARDING COMMUNICATIONS

You agree that Backend Service Provider will review communications sent to the WG Addresses associated with Your WG 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, 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 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 advertize the sale of goods or services or which solicit charitable contributions, or communications which appear to arise from Your having used the WG Services as a general mail forwarding service (see section 1, above). You authorize 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 Backend Service Provider, including failures which arise from Backend Service Provider's mistake in judging whether a communication appears to be an unsolicited communication.

Email. The Whois directory generally requires an email address for every purchased domain name registration. When You purchase WG Services, 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 WG Address, Backend Service Provider forwards such messages to the email address You listed in section 2. If such email address becomes non-functioning or if email to such address bounces, Backend Service Provider is not obligated to attempt to contact You through other means. You agree that Backend Service Provider may elect, in Backend Service Provider's sole discretion, to allow You to access Your Account and view email sent to the WG 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 Backend Service Provider receives a communication which may warrant forwarding to You, per the terms of this Agreement, Backend Service Provider will send an email to the email address You provided to 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 Backend Service Provider may allow you to access Your Account to view full or partial scanned copies of (non-email) communications sent to the WG 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. Method of forward will be determined by 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 written notice.

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