This Agreement governs the provision of CED Contact services by Webnames Asia, exempts Webnames Asia and other persons from liability or limits their
liability, and contains other important provisions you should read. By requesting that Webnames Asia be a CED Contact for a .ASIA domain name, you
acknowledge and signify that you have read, understood, and agreed, without limitation or qualification, to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not

1. Definitions: In this Agreement: (a) “Account” means the Webnames.ca Inc. account specified
in the Order; (b) “CED Contact” means a contact designated to make the declaration that it meets the Charter Eligibility Requirement for
registering a .ASIA domain name as specified in the .ASIA Charter Eligibility Requirement Policies (currently found at www.dotasia.org) (the “ Policies”) as amended from time to time by DotAsia Organisation Limited; (c) “Customer” means collectively the holder of
the Account, as identified in the customer records of Webnames.ca Inc. (“Webnames.ca”), the person identified as the “Company” in the
Account, and the registrants, legal and beneficial owners, and authorized users of the domain names registered using the Account; and (d) “ Order” means the Customer’s order for the registration or renewal of domain names in the .ASIA TLD (each a “domain name”)
as accepted by Webnames.ca and as amended from time to time by agreement of Customer and Webnames.ca.
2. Application of Agreement: This Agreement is between Customer and Webnames Asia Inc. (“Webnames Asia”) and applies to
each domain name that Customer registers or applies to register through the Account for which Customer requests that Webnames Asia be the CED Contact. By
requesting that Webnames Asia be a CED Contact, Customer acknowledges and signifies that it has read, understood and agreed, without limitation or
qualification, to be bound by this Agreement. If this Agreement is accepted by an individual on behalf of Customer, the individual represents and warrants
that he or she has the legal authority to agree to and accept this Agreement on behalf of Customer. If Customer does not agree with each provision of this
Agreement, Customer may not request that Webnames Asia be a CED Contact for any domain names. This Agreement is in addition to Customer’s agreements with
Webnames.ca regarding the registration and renewal of the domain names.
3. CED Contact Services: Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and Customer’s timely payment of all applicable fees and taxes,
during the term of this Agreement Webnames Asia agrees to be the CED Contact for each of the domain names registered through Webnames that Customer
specifies in the applicable Order. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Webnames Asia will not provide any other services regarding the domain
names.
4. Fees/Payment: For each domain name for which Webnames Asia is the CED Contact, Customer will pay to Webnames Asia the fees specified or
referenced in the Order plus all applicable taxes. The fees will be calculated based upon the number of years for which Customer registers or renews the
domain name for which Webnames Asia is the CED Contact. All fees and applicable taxes are payable in advance and are not refundable under any circumstances
(including termination of this Agreement), and will be collected by Webnames.ca on behalf of Webnames Asia.
5. Domain Name Registration Transfers: Webnames Asia will be a CED Contact for a domain name only while it is registered by Customer
through the Account. If Customer transfers the registration of a domain name to a different Account or to a different registrant or from Webnames.ca to a
different registrar, Webnames Asia is no longer required to be the CED Contact for the domain name and Customer will immediately replace Webnames Asia with
a different CED Contact for the domain name.
6. Changes to CED Contact: Customer may in its discretion replace Webnames Asia with a different CED Contact for any or all domain names
registered in the Account (provided that the new CED Contact fulfills the Charter Eligibility Requirement), except that Customer may not do so until after
the completion of the Sunrise process as described in the .ASIA Sunrise Policies document currently located at www.dotasia.org, or when proceedings have
commenced under the Charter Eligibility Dispute Resolution Policy, currently found at http://www.icann.org/udrp/cedrp-policy.html. Customer will not
receive a refund of any fees or taxes paid under this Agreement if Customer replaces Webnames Asia with a different CED Contact.
7. Compliance with Applicable Laws and Policies: Customer represents and warrants that its registration and use of the domain names will
comply with all applicable laws and policies (including the Policies) and will not infringe the rights (including intellectual property rights) of any
other person. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer has read the Policies, and that at all times Customer will fully comply with the Policies.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer acknowledges and agrees as follows:
(a) If Webnames Asia is named as a responding party in a dispute regarding a domain name for which Webnames Asia is the CED Contact, Webnames Asia will
initially acknowledge the dispute proceedings and give Customer notice of the dispute, and will not have any other responsibility or liability for the
dispute.
(b) Customer is and will remain solely regarded as the registrant for all domain names for all general purposes, including all operations and liabilities
regarding the use of the domain names, except for the fulfillment of the Charter Eligibility Requirement.
(c) Webnames Asia may in its discretion update information about itself in all domain name registration records.
(d) Customer is and will remain the operating contact for all domain names, including for all domain name transfers (including registrant transfer and
registrar transfer), domain name registration updates, and the replacement of domain name contacts (including the CED Contact).
(e) Details of Webnames Asia as the CED Contact for the domain names will be publicly available via applicable WHOIS databases and otherwise.
