You agree that your registration of the domain name shall be subject
to suspension, cancellation, or transfer pursuant to a Tucows,
Registry Operator, ICANN or government-adopted policy, or pursuant
to any registrar or registry procedure not inconsistent with a
Tucows, Registry Operator, ICANN or government-adopted policy, (1)
to correct mistakes by us or the Registry in registering the name or
(2) for the resolution of disputes concerning the domain name.

AGENCY.

therefore responsible for providing your own full contact
information and for providing and updating accurate technical and
administrative contact information adequate to facilitate timely
resolution of any problems that arise in connection with the domain
name. You shall accept liability for harm caused by wrongful use of
the domain name. You represent that you have provided notice of the

-
ANNOUNCEMENTS.
We reserve the right to distribute information to you that is
pertinent to the quality or operation of our services and those of
our service partners. These announcements will be predominately
informative in nature and may include notices describing changes,
upgrades, new products or other information to add security or to
enhance your identity on the Internet.
-
LIMITATION
OF LIABILITY. You agree that our entire liability, and your
exclusive remedy, with respect to any Services(s) provided under
this Agreement and any breach of this Agreement is solely limited to
the amount you paid for such Service(s). Neither we nor our
contractors or third party beneficiaries shall be liable for any
direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages
resulting from the use or inability to use any of the Services or
for the cost of procurement of substitute services. Because some
jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability
for consequential or incidental damages, in such jurisdictions, our
liability is limited to the extent permitted by law. We disclaim any
and all loss or liability resulting from, but not limited to: (1)
loss or liability resulting from access delays or access
interruptions; (2) loss or liability resulting from data
non-delivery or data miss-delivery; (3) loss or liability resulting
from acts of God; (4) loss or liability resulting from the
unauthorized use or misuse of your account identifier or password;
(5) loss or liability resulting from errors, omissions, or
misstatements in any and all information or services(s) provided
under this Agreement; (6) loss or liability resulting from the
interruption of your Service. You agree that we will not be liable
for any loss of registration and use of your domain name, or for
interruption of business, or any indirect, special, incidental, or
consequential damages of any kind (including lost profits)
regardless of the form of action whether in contract, tort (including
negligence), or otherwise, even if we have been advised of the
possibility of such damages. In no event shall our maximum liability
exceed five hundred ($500.00) dollars.
-
INDEMNITY.
You agree to release, indemnify, and hold us, our contractors,
agents, employees, officers, directors, affiliates and third party
beneficiaries harmless from all liabilities, claims and expenses,
including attorney's fees, of third parties relating to or arising
under this Agreement, the Services provided hereunder or your use of
the Services, including without limitation infringement by you, or
someone else using the Service of any intellectual property or other
proprietary right of any person or entity, or from the violation of
any of our operating rules or policy relating to the Service(s)
provided. You also agree to release, indemnify and hold us harmless
pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Dispute Policy.
When we are threatened with suit by a third party, we may seek
written assurances from you concerning your promise to indemnify us;
your failure to provide those assurances shall be a breach of your
Agreement and may result in deactivation of your domain name.
-
TRANSFER
OF OWNERSHIP. The person named as registrant on the WHOIS shall
be the registered name holder. The person named as administrative
contact at the time the controlling user name and password are
secured shall be deemed the designate of the registrant with the
authority to manage the domain name. You agree that prior to
transferring ownership of your domain name to another person (the
Transferee") you shall require the Transferee to agree in
writing to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. Your domain name will not be transferred until we receive
such written assurances or other reasonable assurance that the
Transferee has been bound by the contractual terms of this Agreement
(such reasonable assurance as determined by us in our sole
discretion) along with the applicable transfer fee. If the
Transferee fails to be bound in a reasonable fashion (as determine
by us in our sole discretion) to the terms and conditions in this
Agreement, any such transfer will be null and void. You acknowledge
that you will not be entitled to change registrars during the first
sixty (60) days following the registration of your domain name.
-
BREACH.
You agree that failure to abide by any provision of this Agreement,
any operating rule or policy or the Dispute Policy provided by us,
may be considered by us to be a material breach and that we may
provide a written notice, describing the breach, to you. If within
thirty (30) calendar days of the date of such notice, you fail to
provide evidence, which is reasonably satisfactory to us, that you
have not breached your obligations under the Agreement, then we may
delete the registration or reservation of your domain name. Any such
breach by you shall not be deemed to be excused simply because we
did not act earlier in response to that, or any other breach by you.
-
NO
GUARANTY. You acknowledge that registration or reservation of
your chosen domain name does not confer immunity from objection to
either the registration, reservation, or use of the domain name.

obtain from you from our loss, misuse, unauthorized accessor
disclosure, alteration or destruction of that information.

REVOCATION.

wilful failure promptly to update information provided to us, or any
failure to respond to inquiries by us addressed to the email address
of the registrant, the administrative, billing or technical contact
appearing in the "Whois" directory with respect to a
domain name concerning the accuracy of contact details associated
with the registration shall constitute a material breach of this
Agreement and be a basis for cancellation of the domain name
registration. Any information collected by us concerning an
identified or identifiable natural person ("Personal
Data") will be used in connection with the registration of your
domain name(s) and for the purposes of this Agreement and as
required or permitted by the ICANN Agreement or an ICANN/Registry
Operator policy.

period, we agree to refund your applicable fee(s). You agree that we
shall not be liable to you for loss or damages that may result from
our refusal to register, reserve, or delete your domain name or

Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Dispute Policies shall be
construed as creating any agency, partnership, or other form of

itself.
