Service Agreement
1. INTRODUCTION. In this Service Agreement ("Agreement"), "you" and "your" refer to each customer ("Customer") and "we", "us" and "our" refer to Network Solutions, Inc. ("Network Solutions"). This Agreement explains our obligations to you, and your obligations to us in relation to your use of our services. By selecting Network Solutions´ 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 your account to purchase or otherwise acquire access to additional Network Solutions´ service(s) or to modify or cancel your Network Solutions´ service(s) (even if we were not notified of such authorization), this Agreement covers any such service or actions. Any acceptance of your application(s) for our services and the performance of our services will occur at our offices in Herndon, Virginia, the location of our principal place of business.
 
2. SECURITY. When you register a domain name with us through our e-mail application process, you are responsible for selecting a security option to protect your domain name registration records (including your contact records and host records) from unauthorized changes. There are three levels of security available for domain name registration records, contact records and host records: (i) Mail From; (ii) Encrypted Password (CRYPT-PW); and (iii) Pretty Good Privacy (PGP). Please review our Web site at http://www.netsol.com/en_US/help/guardian.jhtml for an explanation of each security option and select the option that best serves your requirements.
 
3. VARIOUS SERVICES. Paragraphs 1 through 25 are applicable to any and all of the services you have chosen, including but not limited to domain name registration services. The terms and conditions set forth in paragraphs A through G at the end of this Agreement apply only to customers who have selected the Network Solutions services referenced in those paragraphs.
 
4. FEES, PAYMENT AND TERM OF SERVICE. As consideration for the services you have selected, you agree to pay Network Solutions the applicable service(s) fees set forth on our Web site at the time of your selection. All fees are due immediately and are non-refundable. Initial domain name registrations, and domain name registrations that have passed the registration agreement's anniversary date, must be in a paid status to transfer, delete, modify, or otherwise to request Network Solutions to affect the domain name record or to provide domain name services. Domain name registrations in an unpaid status are routinely deleted on a regular basis. Network Solutions may take all remedies available to collect fees owed. If you qualify, we may extend payment terms to you under our Business Account Credit Program. Unless otherwise specified, each Network Solutions´ service is for a two-year initial term and renewable in perpetuity thereafter for successive one to ten-year terms, as specified during the renewal process. Any renewal of your services with us is subject to our then current terms and conditions and payment of all applicable service fees at the time of renewal and in the case of domain name reregistration, the domain name registry´s acceptance of your domain name registration. You agree that you may not transfer your domain name registration to another domain name registrar during the first sixty (60) days from the effective date of your initial domain name registration with us. We will provide you notice prior to the renewal of your services at least fifteen (15) days in advance of the renewal date. You agree that if you paid by credit card (initially or in connection with a renewal) for any services provided hereunder, Network Solutions is authorized, but not obligated, to automatically charge your credit card and renew the applicable service(s) on or before their renewal date using the credit card information you have provided to us, unless you have notified us (as provided herein) that you do not wish to participate in our automatic renewal process. You may "opt out" of our automatic renewal process in accordance with the instructions on our Web site. You are solely responsible for the credit card information you provide to Network Solutions and must promptly inform Network Solutions of any changes thereto (e.g., change of expiration date or account number). In addition, you are solely responsible for ensuring the services are renewed. Network Solutions shall have no liability to you or any third party in connection with the renewal, including, but not limited to, any failure or errors in renewing the services.

WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY THAT THE TEST BED WILL CONTINUE OR THAT OUR MDN REGISTRATION SYSTEM WILL INTEROPERATE PROPERLY WITH THE CURRENT OR FUTURE TEST BED OR THE MDN-ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES OF OTHERS.
 
You assume all risks inherent in the experimental nature of this service and the technologies supporting it. The encoding schemes, protocols and other MDN-enabling technologies are not within our control and are subject to change without notice. You assume all risks that such changes may impair or prevent your ability to use the MDN you have registered. You further understand and agree that we may interrupt or deny MDN registration services to you, temporarily or permanently, as a result of such changes. You further assume all risks that the Internet addressing system will not recognize an MDN you have registered or otherwise will not enable such MDN to function as an Internet address.
 
We may, but shall not be obligated to, make any and all modifications to an MDN registration, including without limitation changing the MDN´s ASCII-based translation, that we deem necessary or appropriate for the purpose of bringing an MDN registration into conformance with evolving technical standards. Such modifications may be made without notice to you. In the event we elect to make such modifications, you agree to hold us harmless from any claims, liabilities or demands arising from such modifications. Before registering an MDN, we strongly recommend that you review and become familiar with the "Multilingual Domain Name Position Paper," published on the website of VeriSign Global Registry Services, currently located at the following url: http://www.verisign-grs.com/.
 
You specifically acknowledge and agree that an MDN shall be considered a domain name for purposes of the Domain Name Dispute Policy and the provisions relating thereto in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Domain Name Dispute Policy, you agree that during the Test Bed we may terminate your registration of an MDN in our sole discretion without notice to you if, within 45 days of your registration, we receive a formal, written objection to the registration by any legitimate authority, including without limitation a trademark owner or governmental entity. Our right of termination under this provision shall continue until such time as: (1) VeriSign Global Registry Services publicly announces that its Test Bed is complete; and (2) we determine in our sole discretion that all of the encoding schemes, protocols and other MDN-enabling technologies that are used to provide your MDN registration services have been approved by appropriate standard-setting bodies.
 
F. ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO SERVICES IN CONNECTION WITH .BIZ TLD.
 
1. Additional Representations and Warranties. If you are applying for the registration of a domain name in the .biz top-level domain ("TLD"), you also represent and warrant that: (i) the domain name will be used primarily for bona fide business or commercial purposes and not (a) exclusively for personal use or (b) solely for the purposes of selling, trading or leasing the domain name for compensation, or the unsolicited offering to sell, trade or lease the domain name for compensation; and (ii) the domain name is reasonably related to your business or intended commercial purpose at the time of registration.
 
2. Acknowledgment of Dispute Policies and Rules. The registrant acknowledges having read and understood and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the following documents, as they may be amended from time to time, which are hereby incorporated and made an integral part of this Agreement:
 
(i) The Uniform Domain Name Dispute Policy, available at http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp.htm;
(ii) The Start-up Trademark Opposition Policy ("STOP"), available at http://www.neulevel.com/countdown/stop.html;
(iii) The Restrictions Dispute Resolution Criteria and Rules, available at http://www.neulevel.com/countdown/rdrp.html.
 
If at the time of your application for services in the .biz TLD, any of the above policies or rules (collectively ".biz Policies") have not yet been approved by ICANN (which may mean the .biz Policies are not available for viewing via live hyperlinks above), you agree to be bound by the terms of such .biz Policies upon such approval and in the final form approved by ICANN, as posted on our Web site or the ICANN Web site (located at http://www.icann.org/). You agree that, by maintaining the services provided hereunder (which may include registration of a domain name) after such posting of any of the ICANN approved .biz Policies, you have agreed to the terms and conditions of the same. You acknowledge that if you do not agree to the .biz Policies, you may terminate this Agreement. We will not refund any fees paid by you if you terminate your Agreement with us.
 
3. Registry Actions or Inactions. Our ability to provide services to you depends in part upon the provision of services by third parties, such as the .biz registry. We cannot control and will not be responsible for the actions or inactions of such third parties. For example, the .biz registry has reserved the right to deny, cancel or transfer any domain name registration under certain circumstances. You acknowledge and agree that we shall not be liable to you or any other party in connection with claims, damages, losses, expenses or costs incurred or suffered by you as a result of actions taken or not taken by third parties, including, but not limited to, the .biz registry.
 
4. Multiple Phases of Services. Your application or registration (whether successful or not) for any .biz registry or .biz TLD services hereunder does not guarantee, and we do not promise, that you will be approved or eligible for any other services available or that may become available through us or any third party. For example, certain services in the .biz TLD are provided in sequential phases, and participation in one phase, does not automatically qualify you for participation in other phases, and any further participation is not automatic. The .biz registry, and not Network Solutions, determines the dates and times associated with the various service phases available in the .biz TLD. You agree to review and become familiar with the information available on our Web site and on the .biz Web site concerning the various phases and descriptions of services available in connection with .biz TLD, and to regularly check for modifications and/or updates to such information, as the same may change from time to time. You agree that you are solely responsible for applying and/or registering for the service phases you desire to participate in. Additionally, you acknowledge and agree that submission of an application for domain name registration or any other services, does not guarantee that you will ultimately be the registrant for a particular domain name, even if you participated in some other service associated with the domain name, such as an intellectual property notification service or similar service.
 
5. Additional Acknowledgments Concerning Customer Information. You also acknowledge and agree that Network Solutions will share with the .biz registry certain information submitted by you in your application(s) for our services, as required by our agreement(s) with the .biz registry or to provide the services you have applied for. You acknowledge and agree that any information we share with the .biz registry may be used by them to fulfill the .biz registry’s service obligations to us or any third party. You hereby grant us and the .biz registry a limited, royalty-free, non-exclusive worldwide license to use all of the data contained in a Trademark
 
6. Disclaimer Concerning Intellectual Property Notification Service. Your participation in an intellectual property notification service or similar service DOES NOT PROVIDE YOU WITH ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTIONS OR REGISTRATIONS, NOR DOES IT PROVIDE YOU WITH ANY RIGHTS TO ANY PARTICULAR DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION. THIS IS A NOTIFICATION SERVICE ONLY. EVEN IF YOU PARTICIPATE IN THIS SERVICE, YOU MUST STILL SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION SERVICES TO BE ELIGIBLE TO BECOME THE REGISTRANT FOR THE DESIRED DOMAIN NAME(S).
 
7. Survival of Terms. In addition to the provisions of the Agreement that by their very nature survive the termination of this Agreement (and without otherwise limiting the survivability of such provisions), you agree that the indemnity provisions set forth in this Agreement shall survive any termination of the Agreement.
 
8. Terms of Use for IP Claim Service. The following additional terms apply specifically to the Intellectual Property Claim Service (in this Section F8 of the Agreement, the "Service") made available in the .biz TLD (for purposes of this Section F8, "Owner" shall mean the owner of a registered or common law trademark or service mark and "Agent" shall mean the duly authorized agent of an Owner (collectively "You"), and "Registrar" shall mean Network Solutions):
 
(a). The Service. Registrar provides the Service to holders of both registered and common law trademarks or service marks (collectively "Trademarks"). During the domain name application process, applicants for a .biz domain name ("Applicants") will be notified of an Owner’s alleged intellectual property rights in a Trademark if the domain name contained in the domain name application is an exact match of the Trademark identified in an IP Claim (as defined below) submitted by Owner. You may review frequently asked questions regarding the Service by reviewing our FAQs.
 
(b). Registration, Password and Security. To use the Service, You may be asked to first create an account and obtain a login name and password. You must provide Registrar with accurate, complete and current registration information and must update this information promptly if it changes. You represent and warrant that You are at least eighteen (18) years of age or older and are either an Owner or an Agent duly authorized to represent an Owner(s) in connection with the Service and submitting an IP Claim on behalf of an Owner(s). Agent will indemnify and hold harmless Registrar and its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates and subcontractors for any claims brought by Owner or Third Parties relating to the use of the Service. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of Your login name and password. You must immediately notify Registrar of any unauthorized use of Your login name and You are responsible for any unauthorized activities, charges and/or liabilities made on or through Your login name until we receive such notification. You may not transfer or lend login names to any other third party.
 
(c). License to Use Data / Privacy. By submitting an IP Claim, You hereby grant Registrar, as well as any of its agents or subcontractors, and the .biz registry, a limited, royalty-free, non-exclusive worldwide license to use all of the data contained in the IP Claim solely for the purposes of implementing the Service, processing Your IP Claim, notifying Applicants of Your IP Claim, and for notifying You of changes to the Service, and for archival purposes.
 
(d). The IP Claim Process. In order to submit a claim with respect to a Trademark or Trademarks ("IP Claim") through the Service, You must complete an IP Claim form for each Trademark. For each IP Claim, You must submit complete contact information, representative contact information and notification details, and the details regarding the Trademark. You may specify in the representative field that an Agent may receive legal correspondence regarding the IP Claim. Once You have submitted an IP Claim, you will receive a confirmation email and a claim number. You must retain the claim number for each IP Claim You submit. Registrar will accept IP Claims until July 9, 2001, or such later date as it may determine in its sole discretion ("Close of Phase I") and no IP Claims will be accepted after that date. From the Close of Phase I until September 25, 2001 ("Phase 2"), or such other later date as Registrar may choose, in its sole discretion, the domain name applications from ICANN-approved registrars ("Applications") will be compared with the database of IP Claims processed through the Service ("IP Claim Database"). For each exact match between an IP Claim in the IP Claim Database and a domain name application, the Registry Operator for .Biz ("Registry Operator") will notify the Applicant that a third party or third parties have submitted an IP Claim for the exact Trademark. The email notification to the Applicant will include, among other things, the information provided by Owner in the IP Claim, instructions on how to proceed with the registration process, and that if selected during the randomized name selection phase ("Name Selection Phase"), the domain name will be placed on a temporary thirty (30) day hold when the Registry goes "live." The Applicant will have the option to proceed with the Application or cancel the Application. If the Applicant does not respond to the email notification, or elects to cancel the Application, the Applicant’s domain name application will not be processed during the Name Selection Phase. If the Applicant chooses to proceed with the registration process and the name is selected during the Name Selection Phase, that domain name automatically will be placed on a thirty (30) day "hold period" when the name is registered. After Name Selection, the Owner will be notified by Registry Operator if an Applicant has successfully registered the domain name. The Owner will then have the option of contacting the Applicant and finding a solution or using the guidelines set forth by a special dispute resolution process called the Start-up Trademark Opposition Policy ("STOP") (formerly referred to as the Start-up Dispute Resolution Policy or "SUDRP") (information available at http://www.neulevel.com/countdown/stop.html), or the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute Resolution Procedures ("UDRP") (information is available at http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp-policy-24oct99.htm). You will not be notified if there are no Applications that exactly match an IP Claim You submitted in the IP Claim Database.
 
USE OF THE SERVICE DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT AN OWNER WILL BE AWARDED THE .BIZ EXTENSION FOR ITS TRADEMARK. AN OWNER THATWISHES TO OBTAIN A .BIZ EXTENSION FOR ITS TRADEMARK MUST FILE A DOMAIN NAME APPLICATION. DOMAIN NAME APPLICANTS WILL ONLY BE NOTIFIED OF APPLICATIONS THAT ARE EXACT MATCHES WITH A TRADEMARK IDENTIFIED IN AN IP CLAIM FORM. REGISTRAR WILL NOT VERIFY WHETHER A TRADEMARK CLAIMED ON AN IP CLAIM FORM CORRESPONDS WITH AN ACTUAL, LEGAL OR VALID TRADEMARK, NOR WILL REGISTRAR PROVIDE ANY LEGAL OVERSIGHT OR ADJUDICATION FOR ANY DISPUTED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IMPLICATED BY THE SERVICE.
 
(e). Conduct. You may access and use the Service for lawful purposes only and you are solely responsible for the knowledge and adherence to any and all laws, statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to Your use of the Service. You agree that You will not (i) use the Service to commit a criminal offense or to encourage conduct that would constitute a criminal offense or give rise to a civil liability, or otherwise violate any local state, Federal or international law or regulation; (ii) upload or otherwise transmit any content that You do not have a right to transmit under any law or contractual or fiduciary duty; (iii) interfere or infringe with any trademark or proprietary rights of any other party; (iv) interfere with the ability of other users to access or use the Service; (v) claim a relationship with or to speak for any individual, business, association, institution or other organization for which You are not authorized to claim such a relationship; (vi) interfere with or disrupt the Service or servers or networks connected to the Service, or disobey any requirements, procedures, policies or regulations of networks connected to the Service; or (vii) reproduce, duplicate, copy, use, distribute, sell, resell or otherwise exploit for any commercial purposes any portion of the Service.
 
(f). Fees. As consideration for the Service, You agree to pay Registrar, or its agents or subcontractors, as the case may be, an IP Claim fee for each IP Claim submitted through the Service by credit card through its online payment system. Such fee shall be due immediately and is non-refundable. Registrar, or its agents or subcontractors, may take all remedies to collect fees owed. Registrar, or its agents or subcontractors may require you to submit and pay for each IP Claim individually or it may allow you store up a certain number of IP Claims before submitting them for processing. Once you have stored that number of IP Claims, you may not be able to store any additional IP Claims and may need to submit them for processing and pay the applicable fee before obtaining additional storage space. No refunds are permitted.
 
(g). Agents. You agree that, if Your agent (e.g., an attorney, employee, etc.) submits an IP Claim on Your behalf, You are nonetheless bound as a principal by all Terms of Use herein. Your continued use of the Services shall ratify any unauthorized actions of Your agent. By acting on Your behalf, Your agent certifies that he or she is authorized to use the Service on Your behalf, that he or she is authorized to bind You to these Terms of Use and that he or she has apprised You of these Terms of Use of this Agreement. In addition, You are responsible for any errors made by Your agent. Registrar will not refund fees paid by You or Your agent on Your behalf for any reason, including, but notlimited to, in the event that Your agent fails to comply with these Terms of Use, Your agent incorrectly provides information in the IP Claim process or if Your agent changes or otherwise modifies Your IP Claim incorrectly.
 
(h). Copyright. You acknowledge that the Service, any underlying technology used in connection with the Service, and all software, material, information, communications, text, graphics, links, electronic art, animations, audio, video, photos, and other data (collectively, the "Content") available within the Service are provided by Registrar or third-party providers and are the copyrighted works of Registrar and/or such third parties. Except as expressly authorized by Registrar or such third parties in these Terms of Use or as may be posted on the Service, You may not copy, reproduce, publish, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, rent, lease, sell, transfer, display, transmit, compile or collect in a database, or in any manner commercially exploit any part of the Content or the Service, in whole or in part. You may not store any significant portion of any Content or the Service owned by, or licensed to Registrar in any form, whether archival files, computer-readable files, or any other medium. You also may not "mirror" any Content or the Service on any other server. Registrar encourages you to download and print a reasonable number of copies of an IP Claim for noncommercial, internal use only; provided that (i) any permitted copies contain, in unmodified form, any copyright or other proprietary rights notices and an original source attribution to the Service; and (ii) no modifications are made except as may be expressly provided by Registrar.
 
(i). Links. Some links on the Service lead to sites posted by independent site owners. Because Registrar has no control over these sites, it cannot be responsible for such sites’ accessibility via the Internet and does not endorse products, services, or information provided by such sites. As such, Registrar shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with, use or reliance on any content, goods or services available on or through any other site. Further, the inclusion of these links does not imply that the other sites have given permission for inclusion of these links, or that there is any relationship between Registrar and the linked sites.
 
(j). Disclaimer of Warranty, Limitation of Liability. YOU AGREE THAT YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. NEITHER REGISTRAR NOR ITS PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS OR SUBCONTRACTORS WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE; NOR DO THEY MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICE OR AS TO THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR CONTENT WITHIN THE SERVICE. THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS, "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSES AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT WILL REGISTRAR NOR ITS PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS OR SUBCONTRACTORS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), ARISING OUT YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOST BUSINESS, LOST DATA, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER DAMAGES OR LOSSES THAT RESULT FROM MISTAKES, INACCURATELY ENTERED DATA, UNAUTHORIZED USE, OMISSIONS, INTERRUPTIONS, ERRORS, DEFECTS, DELAYS IN OPERATION, OR ANY FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, WHETHER OR NOT LIMITED TO ACTS OF GOD, COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE, THEFT, DESTRUCTION OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO INSTITUTIONS RECORDS, PROGRAMS OR SERVICES. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY REPRESENT A REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF RISK. IN NO EVENT, SHALL REGISTRAR BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY AMOUNT EXCEEDING THE AMOUNT OF FEES PAID BY YOU FOR THE APPLICABLE IP CLAIM.
 
(k). Indemnification. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Registrar and its parents, subsidiaries, shareholders, members, officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and subcontractors from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorney’s fees made by any third party due to or arising out of Your use of the Service, your breach of these Terms of Use, any Content submitted to the Service, or any disputes involving the intellectual property rights of the Trademarks.

(m). Termination. You may discontinue Your participation in and access to the Service at any time. These Terms of Use will continue to apply to all past use of the Service by You, even if You are no longer using the Service. You acknowledge and agree that Registrar may terminate or block Your use of all or part of the Service without prior notice for any reason, including, without limitation, if Registrar believes You have engaged in conduct prohibited by these Terms of Use. You agree that upon termination or discontinuance for any reason, may delete all information related to You on the Service and may bar Your access to and use of the Service.
 
(n). Third Party Beneficiary. Registry Operator ("NeuLevel") is an intended third party beneficiary of these Term and Conditions with rights to enforce these Terms of Use. You will cooperate in good faith with NeuLevel or Registrar in investigating instances of non-compliance with these Terms of Use, if NeuLevel or Registrar believes in good faith that you are not in compliance with these Terms of Use.
 
(o). Subcontractors. In the course of providing the IP Claim Service, Registrar may retain independent contractors or assign or subcontract to or otherwise have any third party perform any or all of the IP Claim Service at any time, provided that Registrar shall continue to remain responsible for full performance of any such duties to the same extent as if it had performed the IP Claim Service itself.
 
(p). You agree that Registrar and Registry Operator are not responsible for checking, verifying or editing message content or completeness, or for detecting errors or anomalies, or for recreating or re-transmitting data.
 
G. ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO SERVICES IN CONNECTION WITH .INFO TLD.
 
1. Additional Provisions. You acknowledge and agree to the following: (i) you acknowledge and agree that Network Solutions will share with the .info registry certain information submitted by you in your application(s) for our services, and you consent to the use, copying, distribution, publication, modification and other processing of your personal data by the .info registry and its designees and agents in connection with the .info registry’s service obligations to us or third parties, or as otherwise deemed necessary by the .info registry; (ii) you agree to submit to proceedings commenced under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy ("UDRP") and the Sunrise Dispute Resolution Policy ("SDRP") (available at http://www.afilias.info/faq/sunrise-challenge.html), as these may be modified from time to time; (iii) you agree to immediately correct and update the registration information for any domain name registered hereunder during the registration term for such registered domain name; and (iv) you acknowledge that the .info registry will have no liability of any kind for any loss or liability resulting from the proceedings and processes relating to the Sunrise Period or the Land Rush Period, including, without limitation: (a) the ability or inability of a registrant to obtain a registered domain name during these periods, and (b) the results of any dispute over a "Sunrise Registration."
 
If at the time of your application for services in the .info TLD, the SDRP has not yet been approved by ICANN (which may mean the SDRP is not available for viewing via live hyperlink above), you agree to be bound by the terms of the SDRP upon such approval and in the final form approved by ICANN, as posted on our Web site or the ICANN Web site (located at http://www.icann.org/). You agree that, by maintaining the services provided hereunder after such posting of any of the ICANN approved SDRP, you have agreed to the terms and conditions of the same. You acknowledge that if you do not agree to the SDRP, you may terminate this Agreement. We will not refund any fees paid by you if you terminate your Agreement with us.
 
2. Registry Actions or Inactions. Our ability to provide services to you depends in part upon the provision of services by third parties, such as the .info registry. We cannot control and will not be responsible for the actions or inactions of such third parties. For example, the .info registry has reserved the right to refuse or cancel any Sunrise Registration at any time and to request additional information relating to a Sunrise Registration. You acknowledge and agree that we shall not be liable to you or any other party in connection with claims, damages, losses, expenses or costs incurred or suffered by you as a result of actions taken or not taken by third parties, including, but not limited to, the .info registry.
 
3. No Guarantee on Registration. The .info registry, and not Network Solutions, determines the dates and times associated with the various service periods available in the .info TLD. You agree to review and become familiar with the information available on our Web site and on the .info Web site concerning the various periods and descriptions of services available in connection with .info TLD, and to regularly check for modifications and/or updates to such information, as the same may change from time to time. You agree that you are solely responsible for applying and/or registering for the service periods you desire to participate in. You acknowledge and agree that submission of an application for domain name registration or any other services (regardless of when submitted), does not guarantee that you will ultimately be the registrant for a particular domain name.
 
4. Disclaimer Concerning Intellectual Property Protection. Your application for a Sunrise Registration DOES NOT PROVIDE YOU WITH ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTIONS OR REGISTRATIONS.
 
5. Use of Other Registrars. You agree that we may, but are not obligated to, submit your registration application and/or information through another ICANN accredited registrar ("Third Party Registrar") if we believe, in our sole discretion, that doing so will provide you with a better opportunity for successfully registering a .info domain name. Should our submission result in the registration of a .info domain name for you, you acknowledge and agree that you will also then be a customer of the Third Party Registrar through which your domain name is registered. If we do submit your registration application and/or information through a Third Party Registrar, and a .info domain name is registered to you through that Third Party Registrar, you agree that in addition to your agreement with Network Solutions, you agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions in this Agreement with respect to the Third Party Registrar for so long as you are receiving registration services through that Third Party Registrar:
 
(a) Section 1;
(b) Sections 4 through 25; and
(c) Paragraph G at the end of the Agreement.
 
You agree that Network Solutions shall have the right, but not the obligation, to submit a change of registrar request to the Third Party Registrar, if any, through which your domain name is registered to transfer the sponsorship of your domain name to Network Solutions at any time after the expiration of 60 calendar days from the registration of the domain name, and you hereby authorize and direct Network Solutions to effect such a transfer if Network Solutions decides, in its sole discretion, that it wishes to effect such a transfer. You will not be required to pay any transfer or new service fees to effect the transfer.
 
H. ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO SERVICES IN CONNECTION WITH .NAME TLD.
 
1. Eligibility Requirements. You represent and warrant that every registration you are applying for in the .name TLD satisfies the eligibility requirements ("Eligibility Requirements") established by Global Name Registry Ltd., the registry for the .name TLD, which are available at the following URL: http://www.icann.org/tlds/agreements/name/registry-agmt-appl-03jul01.htm.
2. Dispute Resolution Policies. You agree that every service for which you register is subject to the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "UDRP") and the Eligibility Requirements Dispute Resolution Policy (the "ERDRP"), which are located at http://www.icann.org/tlds/agreements/name/registry-agmt-appm-03jul01.htm. Without limiting the foregoing, you agree that (i) every Defensive Registration is subject to challenge pursuant to the ERDRP; (ii) if a Defensive Registration is successfully challenged pursuant to the ERDRP, the Defensive Registration Holder will pay the challenge fees; (iii) if a challenge to a Defensive Registration is successful, the Defensive Registration will be subject to the procedures described in the ERDRP and the Eligibility Requirements including, without limitation, the cancellation of the Defensive Registration Holder's other Defensive Registrations; and (iv) if a Phase I Defensive Registration (as defined by the .name registry) is successfully challenged on the basis that it does not meet the applicable eligibility requirements, the Defensive Registration Holder will thereafter be required to demonstrate, at its expense, that it meets the eligibility requirements for Phase I Defensive Registrations for all other Phase I Defensive Registrations that it registered within .name through any registrar. In the event the Defensive Registration Holder is unalbe to demonstrate the foregoing with respect to any such Phase I Defensive Registration(s), those Defensive Registration(s)will be cancelled.
3. Limitation of Liability. In addition to the other limitations of liability contained herein, you agree that neither the .name registry nor Network Solutions shall have any liability of any kind for any loss or liability resulting from (i) the processing of registration requests prior to live SRS launch, including, without limitation, your ability or inability to obtain a Registered Name, a second-level domain e-mail address registration (an "SLD E-mail Address"), a Defensive Registration, or a NameWatch Registration using the services provided by Network Solutions or the .name registry; or (ii) any dispute over any Registered Name, SLD E-mail Address, Defensive Registration or NameWatch Registration, including any dispute resolution proceeding related to any of the foregoing.
