Last Revised: May 25, 2015
1. Radix TLDs: This Supplementary Agreement applies to domain names registered or proposed to be registered in any of the generic top
level domains listed in Schedule 1 to this Supplementary Agreement (each a “Radix TLD”) which are operated by the applicable registry

2. Interpretation: For all Services provided by Webnames.ca relating to a domain name registered or proposed to be registered in a
Radix TLD, the Webnames.ca Terms of Use and Services Agreement (available by clicking here), the Supplementary Agreement for Domain
Name Transactions (available by clicking here),
the Supplementary Agreement for ICANN Top-Level Domain Names (available by clicking here) and this Supplementary Agreement for Generic Top-Level Domain
Names Administered by Radix (this “Supplementary Agreement”) together constitute and are referred to as “ this Agreement”. If there is a conflict between this Supplementary Agreement and any of the Webnames.ca Terms of Use and Services

inactive name).
(e) “Registered Name Holder” means the holder of a Registered Name.
(f) “Registry Agreement” means the Registry Agreement between a Registry Operator and ICANN for the operation of the relevant Radix TLD,
as the agreement may be amended from time to time.

the relevant Registry Operator from time to time, as published on the Registry Operator’s website.
(h) “Registry Service Provider” means the registry service provider designated and contracted with a Registry Operator or its assigns.
(i) “Regulated and Highly Regulated Domains” mean domains identified in Schedule 1 as Regulated and Highly Regulated and are subject to
additional requirements mandated by ICANN.
(j) All other capitalized terms are defined elsewhere in this Supplementary Agreement, in the Webnames.ca Terms of Use and Services Agreement (available by
