New Generic Top Level Domain Name Agreement Thank you for submitting one or more applications for a new generic top level (gTLD) domain name registration!
1. .biz and .info Domain Name Services
Webnames.ca provides you with .biz and .info domain name registrations through Registrer.com ("Registrar") and Registrar is an accredited registrar with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") for the .biz and .info top level domains. As such, Registrar is, upon accepting your application to register a .biz or .info domain name, your spon-sor for that application.
No .biz or .info domain name application we submit for registration will be deemed registered until (i) we have delivered the application information you provide us to the appropriate registry, and (ii) the appropriate registry has placed into effect a .biz or .info domain name registration in your name.
Registrar cannot guarantee that any .biz or .info domain name application or mul-tiple .biz or .info domain name applications will result in a .biz or .info domain name registration.
2. Fees
As consideration for the submission of an application and/or registration for a .biz or .info gTLD domain name, you agree to pay Registrar the then?current fees set forth in the Webnames.ca price schedule for such services. All fees are non?refundable, in whole or in part, even if your domain name application does not result in the registration of a domain name, or if your domain name registration is suspended, cancelled or transferred prior to the end of your then?current registration term. Registrar reserves the right to change fees, surcharges, and re-newal fees or to institute new fees at any time, for any reason, at its sole discretion.
Your domain name application will not be submitted to the appropriate registry unless we receive actual payment of the applicable fees, or reasonable assurance of payment of the applicable fees from some other entity (such reasonable assurance as determined by Registrar in its sole discretion).
In the event of a charge back by a credit card company (or similar action by an-other payment provider allowed by us) or other non?payment by you in connection with your payment of the applicable fees, you acknowledge and agree that, should your application result in the registration of a domain name, that registration shall be transferred to Registrar as the en-tity that has paid the registration fee for that registration to the registry, and that we reserve all rights regarding such domain name including, without limitation, the right to make the domain name available to other parties for purchase. Registrar will reinstate any such registration solely at our discretion, and subject to our receipt of the applicable fees, as well as our then?current re-instatement fee, currently set at $200.
3. No Guarantee of Registration.
You acknowledge and agree that Registrar cannot guarantee that you will be able to register a desired new gTLD domain name, since Registrar cannot know with certainty whether or not the domain name which you are seeking to register is simultaneously being sought by a third party, or whether there are any inaccuracies or errors in the domain name registration process or related databases. You further acknowledge and agree that Registrar may elect to accept or reject your application for registration for any reason at its sole discretion, such rejec-tion including, but not limited to, rejection due to a request for registration of a prohibited do-main name.
In addition, you acknowledge and agree that Registrar`s ability to provide you with ser-vices hereunder depends in part on the actions of other parties, including without limitation, the .biz and .info gTLD registries. Therefore, you also acknowledge and agree that Registrar is not liable or responsible in any way for any errors, omissions or any other actions by any third par-ties, including without limitation the .biz and .info gTLD registries arising out of or related to your application for and registration of, or failure to register a particular domain name. You ad-ditionally agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the .biz and .info gTLD registries and their directors, officers, employees, and agents, from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses arising out of or re-lated to your domain name registration.
