To complete the registration process, you must
acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be
bound by all of terms and conditions of this Agreement (for
.biz, .com, .info, name ,net, and .org domains); the
appropriate Agreements for country codes ("ccTLDs")
domain registrations; the accompanying appropriate dispute
policies, the additional requirements; and any registration
rules or policies that are or may be published from time to
time by domainX.net, the Internet Corporation for Assigned
Names and Numbers ("ICANN") and/or any and all of
the registry administrators. Submission of your domain
registration application constitutes acceptance of all the
terms and conditions contained and referenced herein.
Registration Agreement
This Registration Agreement ("Agreement") is
between you, the person or entity registering a domain or
domains and domainX.net, and is effective when accepted by domainX.net
at its offices in Alameda, California (the "Effective
Date"). domainX.net may elect to accept or reject your
offer to enter into this Agreement for any reason in its
sole discretion, such rejection including, but not limited
to, a rejection based on a request for registration of a
prohibited domain.
1. Our Services:
Your domain registration will be effective upon occurrence
of all of the following:
You offer to domainX.net this Agreement, without
modification, for domainX.net's acceptance;
domainX.net accepts this Agreement and your domain
registration application;
domainX.net receives payment of the registration, renewal
and reinstatement fees as applicable; and
domainX.net delivers the domain registration information you
provide to the registry administrator for the applicable
TLDs and the registry administrator puts into effect your
domain registration application.
In addition, in accordance with your selections during the
domain registration process, domainX.net may provide you
with the option of additional paid/free services in
accordance with the terms below but reserves the right to
modify/discontinue those services at any time. You must
agree to abide by the terms, or domainX.net will not provide
the services you selected to you.
2. Limitation of Liability:
You understand that domainX.net does not control all aspects
of the domain registration process. For example, once you
complete a domain application, domainX.net forwards the
information contained in the application to the appropriate
Registry Administrator for processing and actual
registration of the name. domainX.net disclaims, and you
agree that domainX.net is not liable for any inaccuracies
regarding the registration information relating to (i) the
input of the information by you; and (ii) the input of the
information by the Registry Administrators. domainX.net will
not be held liable, nor refund a domain name registration
due to spelling errors/typos.
3. Multiple Domain Registrations:
domainX.net, in accordance with ICANN policies, reserves the
rights to refuse to register multiple domain registrations.
4. Fees:
4.1 Payment of fees as a condition to domain registration.
As consideration for the domain registration service
provided by domainX.net, you agree to pay domainX.net, prior
to the effectiveness of the desired domain registration, all
registration and other applicable fees as indicated via a
valid Credit Card (no checks). Except as provided herein,
all fees are non-refundable, in whole or in part, even if
your domain registration is suspended, cancelled or
transferred prior to the end of your then-current
registration term.
4.2 Reservation of right to modify fees. domainX.net
reserves the right to modify fees, surcharges, and renewal
fees or to institute new fees at any time, for any reason,
at its sole discretion.
4.3 Credit card charge-backs for domain registrations. In
the event of a charge-back to domainX.net by your credit
card company (or similar action by another payment provider
used by us) in connection with the payment of the
registration or other fee, you agree and acknowledge that
the domain registration shall be transferred to domainX.net
as the paying entity for that registration to the
registry(ies) and that we reserve all rights regarding such
domain including, without limitation, the right to make the
domain available to other parties for purchase. In domainX.net's
sole discretion, it may reinstate your domain registration,
subject to domainX.net's receipt of the registration fee and
any reinstatement fees imposed by domainX.net.
4.4 Credit card charge-backs for non-domain registration
services. In the event of a charge-back by a credit card
company (or similar action by another payment provider) in
connection with the payment of a non-domain registration
fee, you agree and acknowledge that service shall not
initiate or will be discontinued, if previously in use, and
any information maintained by the service may be deleted.

will make available the Registration Information and the
Additional Registration Information to ICANN; to other third
parties such as Verisign, Inc. Global Names Registry Ltd.,
Neustar, Inc., Afilias USA, Inc., Global Domains
International (collectively, "Registry
Administrators"); and as applicable laws may require or
permit. Additionally, you acknowledge and agree that ICANN
and the Registry Administrators may establish guidelines,
limits and/or requirements that relate to the amount and
type of information that domainX.net may or must make
available to the public or to private entities, and the
manner in which such information is made available. Further,
you hereby consent to any and all such disclosures and use
of, and guidelines, limits and restrictions on disclosure or
use of, information provided by you in connection with the
registration of a domain (including any updates to such
information), whether during or after the term of your
registration of the domain. Moreover, you hereby irrevocably
waive any and all claims and causes of action that may arise
or have arose from such disclosure or use of your
Registration Information and the Additional Registration
Information.
5.4 Information updating and accuracy obligations. As a
condition to continued registration of your domain, you must
keep the Registration Information current, complete and
accurate. You may access your Registration Information in domainX.net's
possession to review, modify or update such Registration
Information, by accessing domainX.net's domain manager
service, or similar service, made available at our Web site.
In accordance with ICANN policies, you acknowledge and agree
that if you willfully provide inaccurate information or fail
to update your Registration Information promptly will
constitute a material breach of this Agreement and may
result in the cancellation of your domain registration. You
further agree that your failure to respond in less than ten
(10) calendar days to inquiries by domainX.net concerning
the accuracy of the Registration Information or immediately
upon discovery of any willful inaccuracy (including i.e.
phone number of 555-1212, 000-0000) associated with your
domain registration shall constitute a material breach of
this Agreement and will be sufficient basis for cancellation
of your domain registration.
5.5 Information requirements for renewals. Upon renewal of
your domain registration, the type of information you are
required to provide may have changed. If you do not wish to
provide the new required information, your domain
registration may not be renewed.
5.6 Ownership of data. You agree and acknowledge that domainX.net
owns all database, compilation, collective and similar
rights, title and interests worldwide in our domain database
("Domain Database"), and all information and
derivative works generated from such Domain Database, which
contains Registration Information and Additional
Registration Information. You further agree and acknowledge
that domainX.net owns the following information for those
domain registrations for which we are the registrar: (a) the
original creation date of the registration; (b) the
expiration date of the registration; (c) the name, postal
address, e-mail address, voice telephone number, and where
available fax number of the technical contact, authorized
contact, zone contact and billing contact for the domain

domain that appear or should appear in the WHOIS or similar
database; and (e) any other information domainX.net
generates or obtains in connection with the provision of
domain registration services, other than the domain being
registered, the Internet protocol (IP) addresses of the
primary nameserver and any secondary nameservers for the
domain, and the corresponding names of those nameservers. domainX.net
does not have any ownership interest in your specific
personal registration information outside of its rights in
its Domain Database.
6. Domain parking:
In the domain registration process, you will be asked to
provide name servers to associate with the domain being
registered. If you do not enter name servers for the domain
at that time, the domain will be automatically placed on
name servers provided by domainX.net, and internet users
that type in the domain will be redirected to a "coming
soon" page (collectively, "parking a domain"
or a "parked domain"). There is no charge for
parking a domain. The "coming soon" page may
contain advertisements and other materials selected by
domainX.net,
in domainX.net's sole discretion. By not designating name
servers during the registration process, you hereby consent
to and authorize domainX.net's placement of the "coming
soon" page, and its associated contents, on your parked
domain. You may change the name server configuration (or
"un-park" the domain) after the registration is
complete. If you need to register name servers using the
domains that you are currently registering, the names will
initially be parked with domainX.net until you modify the
name servers after the domain registration is complete,
using your account manager.
7. Registration renewal:
7.1 Renewal obligations. You are solely responsible for
ensuring that any and all domains and additional services
are renewed prior to their expiration, should you so desire
their renewal. You may renew your domain at any time before
the expiration date. domainX.net 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.
You may be notified at domainX.net's sole discretion when
renewal fees are due. Should these fees go unpaid within the
time specified in a notice or reminder regarding renewal,
your registration will be cancelled. Payment must be made by
such other method as we indicate in the renewal form. If
your billing information is not accurate, you are solely
responsible for the failure to renew.
7.2 Autorenewal. You agree that if you paid for any services
provided hereunder by credit card, you hereby authorize but
do NOT obligate, domainX.net 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 domainX.net, unless you notify domainX.net
that you do not wish to participate in domainX.net's
automatic renewal process. Notification of your intent to
not renew (opt-out) must be received by domainX.net no
earlier than thirty (30) days prior to renewal date or on
renewal date. In the absence of such notification from you, domainX.net
will automatically renew, for a period of one year, any
domain that is up for renewal and will charge the credit
card you have on file with domainX.net, at domainX.net's
then current rates. You are solely responsible for the
credit card information you provide to domainX.net and must
promptly inform domainX.netof any changes thereto (e.g.,
change of expiration date or account number). If the credit
card has expired or is otherwise invalid, you are solely
responsible for a failure to renew and domainX.net shall not
be liable for your failure. If correct information is not
provided prior to the expiration date of the domain, your
registration will not be renewed.
8. Dispute resolution policy:
You agree to be bound by the appropriate domain dispute
resolution policy ("Dispute Policy") applicable to
the domain that you have selected. The Dispute Policy(ies)
can be found here. The Dispute Policy has been developed by
ICANN and/or the specific Registration Administrator(s) and
is a required component of every Agreement. The Dispute
Policies are hereby incorporated and made a part of this
Agreement by reference. Certain disputes, as specified in
the applicable Dispute Policy, are subject to that Policy.
In the event such dispute arises, you agree that you will be
subject to the provisions specified in the Dispute Policy in
effect at the time your domain registration is disputed by a
third party. You further agree that, in the event a domain
dispute arises with any third party, you will indemnify and
hold domainX.net harmless pursuant to the terms and
conditions contained in the Dispute Policy. The Dispute
Policy may be modified at any time by the applicable
Registry Administrator(s) and your continued use of the
domain registered to you after any such Dispute Policy
modification shall constitute your acceptance of the
modified Dispute Policy and this Agreement. If you do not
agree to any of such changes, you may request that your
domain registration be cancelled or transferred to a
different domain registrar. For the adjudication of disputes
concerning or arising from use of the SLD name, the SLD
holder shall submit, without prejudice to other potentially
applicable jurisdictions, to the jurisdiction of the courts
(1) of the SLD holder's domicile and (2) where Registrar is
located.
9. Change of registrant of domains:
9.1 Transfer of registration. The entity or person named as
the "registrant" at the time the controlling user
name and password are secured shall be the registrant of the
domain. You agree that prior to the effectiveness of any
transfer of ownership of your domain to another entity, domainX.net
reserves the right to enforce any amount published for the
transfer of ownership of a domain. You further agree that,
as a condition of any such transfer of ownership of the
domain, the person or entity to which you seek to transfer
your domain shall agree in writing (electronic acceptance is
acceptable) to be bound by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. Your domain will not be transferred until we
receive such written assurances and/or actual payment of the
transfer fee, if any is imposed (or reasonable assurance as
determined by domainX.net in its sole discretion). You
acknowledge and agree that if you attempt to transfer your
domain registration without paying domainX.net any amount
published for the transfer of ownership of a domain, or if
the entity to which you seek to transfer your domain fails
to agree in writing to be bound by all terms and conditions
of this Agreement, any such transfer will be null and void,
and will result in your domain registration being revoked
without a refund of any charges you have incurred in
attempting to register or transfer that domain.
9.2 When changing the name of Registrant within domainX.net,
you agree that the domain name may be changed back to the
Registrant listed immediately prior to the change upon
written (e-mail is acceptable) request within five (5) days
(or reasonable time as determined at domainX.net's
discretion) by Registrant that was listed immediately prior
to change.
9.3 When transferring a domain name into domainX.net as the
new Registrar of record and simultaneously changing the name
of Registrant or subsequently changing the name of
Registrant, you agree that the domain name may be
re-transferred back to the losing Registrar upon written
(e-mail is acceptable) request by Registrant that was listed
immediately prior to transfer or upon request by losing
Registrar.
9.4 Restrictions on transfer. You agree that you may not
transfer your domain registration to another domain
registrar during the first sixty (60) days from the
effective date of your initial domain registration with domainX.net
You agree to provide written authorization (electronic
acceptance is acceptable) to domainX.net for the transfer of
the domain to another registrar and agree to pay any and all
fees that may be charged by domainX.net to effect the
transfer. Your request to transfer to another registrar may
be denied in situations described in the Dispute Policy,
including, but not limited to; a dispute over the identity
of the domain holder; bankruptcy; and default in the payment
of any fees.
10. Acceptable Use Policy:
You understand that all information, data, text, software
programs, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video,
messages or other materials ( collectively
"Content"), whether publicly posted on your
website or privately transmitted via email or in any other
manner, is the sole responsibility of the person from which
such Content originated. This means that you, and not
domainX.net,
are entirely responsible for all Content that you upload,
post, email, transmit or otherwise make available. Under no
circumstances will domainX.net be liable in any way for any
Content, including, but not limited to, for any errors or
omissions in any Content, or for any loss or damage of any
kind incurred as a result of the use of any Content posted,
emailed, transmitted or otherwise made available.
domainX.net and its designees shall have the right (but not
the obligation) in their sole discretion to refuse or move
any Content that is available via our services. Without
limiting the foregoing, domainX.net and its designees shall
have the right to remove any Content that violates this
Registration Agreement or is otherwise objectionable.
Further, you acknowledge and agree that domainX.net may
preserve Content and may also disclose such Content if
required to do so by law or upon the good faith belief that
such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to:
(a) comply with legal process; (b) enforce this Registration
Agreement; (c) respond to claims that any Content violates
the rights of third-parties; or (d) protect the rights,
property, or personal safety of domainX.net, its users and
the public. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all
risks associated with, the use of any Content, including any
reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of
such Content. In this regard, you acknowledge that you may
not rely on any Content created by domainX.net or submitted
to domainX.net, including without limitation information in
Message Boards and all other parts of our services.
You agree to:
a. not upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make
available (collectively, "Transmit") any Content

another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or
otherwise objectionable;

trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary
rights ("Rights") of any party;

promotional materials, "junk mail,"
"spam," "chain letters," "pyramid

or any other computer code, files or programs designed to
interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any
computer software or hardware or telecommunications
equipment;
i. not disrupt the normal flow of dialogue, cause a screen
to "scroll" faster than other users are able to or
otherwise act in a manner that negatively affects other
users' ability to engage in real time exchanges;

disobey any requirements, procedures, policies or
regulations of networks;
k. not relay email from a third party's mail servers without
the permission of that third party.

American Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ, and any regulations
having the force of law;
o. not "stalk" or otherwise harass another;
or
p. not collect or store personal data about other

11. Unsolicited email prohibited; consequences of sending
unsolicited email:
11.1 Unsolicited email prohibited. You are strictly
prohibited from mass-mailing unwanted email advertisements
or solicitations of any type (e.g. SPAM, UCE) (collectively,
"Unsolicited Email"). Further, in conjunction with
all state and federal laws (which you should be aware of and
in compliance with when sending out any mail), domainX.net
prohibits a person from sending out or conspiring with
another to initiate the transmission of Unsolicited Email
that: (a) uses a third party's internet domain without
permission of the third party, (b) misrepresents or obscures
any information in identifying the point of origin, IP
address, or the transmission path of a commercial electronic
mail message; (c) contains false or misleading information
in the subject line or inappropriate/adult material (as
determined by domainX.net) in the message body; (d) contains
an ineffective opt-out procedure; or (e) uses an e-mail list
without knowledge of its source. Any user that is a sender
of an email that is in violation of the rules in this
agreement and/or any law or regulation is required to
indemnify and hold domainX.net harmless due to the sender's
act or omission in sending the email.
11.2 Right to Disable Account or Domain. If you send
Unsolicited Email, domainX.net reserves the right, in its
sole discretion, to immediately disable any domain or user
account that allegedly sent such unsolicited email in order
to forestall further abuse or damage to email systems.
Unsolicited Email sent from other networks that reference
email accounts of domains registered by domainX.net shall be
considered to have originated from the account referenced,
unless compelling reasons are provided to domainX.net, such
that domainX.net believes that the Unsolicited Email
originated with an unrelated third party.
11.3 Single complaint of Unsolicited Email. If domainX.net
receives a complaint regarding Unsolicited Email, domainX.net
will reasonably investigate the claim by, among other
things, contacting the administrative contact and/or the
account owner of the domain at the listed e-mail address. If
there is no response within five (5) days of our request, domainX.net
will, in its discretion, take such action as it deems
warranted to prevent further sending of Unsolicited Email,
including but not limited to suspending and locking the
domain. If the domain registrant wishes to reinstate the
domain after a 'lock' is in place, it must apply to do so
with domainX.net, take such remedial measures as domainX.net
may request, and domainX.net may unlock the account, in its
sole discretion. For those domains approved to be unlocked,
an administrative fee and a probationary period may also be
imposed at domainX.net's discretion.
11.4 Multiple complaints of Unsolicited Email. If domainX.net
receives two or more complaints for two or more different
domains within the same account related to Unsolicited
Email, and there is no response to either or both requests
for explanation, domainX.net may suspend and lock the
domains in question and lock and disable the domains in the
entire account. For those domains within the account that
have not received an Unsolicited Email complaint, such
domains may be permitted to be transferred to another
registrar at the account owner/domain registrant's sole
expense. However, the domains that have received Unsolicited
Email complaints will remain locked and suspended, at domainX.net's
discretion.
11.5 Additional Unsolicited Email guidelines. Certain domainX.net
services may have additional Unsolicited Email guidelines
explaining appropriate conduct for those services. It is the
user's responsibility to read and comply with each service's
guidelines for additional details regarding Unsolicited
Email.
11.6 Enforcement of Unsolicited Email policy. In addition to
the above actions, violations of this Section 11 may result
in legal action and/or a fine against you and the
termination, without notice, of your account and/or anything
associated with it, including, but not limited to, email
accounts, posts, home pages, and profiles. Nothing in this
policy is intended to grant any right to transmit email to
or through domainX.net computer systems.
12. Agents and licensing:
You agree that, if you are registering a domain and listing
someone other than yourself as the registrant, you represent
and warrant that you have the authority to bind the person
or entity listed as registrant as a principal to this
Agreement, including the Dispute Policy. The name listed as
registrant of the domain or the appropriate officer of a
listed Organization (at domainX.net's discretion) may
individually choose to move the domain into another account
for full access to the domain, irrespective of wishes of
agent/account owner/other listed contacts on that particular
domain (e.g. admin, billing). Further, you agree that if you
license the use of the domain registered to you to a third
party, you nonetheless remain the domain holder of record,
and remain responsible for strict compliance with this
Agreement, including but not limited to payment obligations,
and providing (and updating, as necessary) accurate
Registration Information and Additional Registration
Information. Further, you remain fully liable for any
actions of the licensee using the domain.
13. Representations and warranties:
In the event that, in registering the domain, you are
providing information related to a third party, you hereby
represent and warrant that you have (a) provided notice to
that third party of the disclosure and use of that party's
information as set forth in this Agreement, and (b) that you
have obtained that third party's express consent to the
disclosure and use of that party's information as set forth
in this Agreement. You further represent that, to the best
of your knowledge and belief, neither the registration of
the domain nor the manner in which it is directly or
indirectly used infringes the legal rights of a third party.
You further represent and warrant that all information
provided by you in connection with your domain registration
is accurate.
14. Indemnification
14.1 Indemnification of domainX.net. You will indemnify,
hold harmless, and defend domainX.net and its subsidiary and
parent entities, predecessors, successors, affiliates, and
assigns, and all of their respective current and former
officers, directors, members, shareholders, agents, and
employees (the "Indemnified Parties") from any and
all Claims. "Claim" means any action, cause of
action, suit, proceeding, claim, or demand of any third
party (and all resulting judgments, bona fide settlements,
penalties, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses
(including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs)), which arises out of: (a) your breach of this
Agreement or any of domainX.net's policies applicable to
this domain registration or related services, (b) the
operation of your domain in any manner inconsistent with
this Agreement or any of domainX.net's policies applicable
to this domain registration or related services, (c) any
negligent act or omission by you, or (d) any third party
claim, action, or demand related to the registration or use
of the domain registered in your name (and this
indemnification is in addition to any indemnification
required under the Dispute Policy). "Reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs" as used in this Section 14
includes without limitation fees and costs incurred to
interpret or enforce this Section 14. domainX.net may, at
its expense, employ separate counsel to monitor and
participate in the defense of any Claim. domainX.net will
provide you with reasonably prompt notice of any Claim.
14.2 Indemnification of ICANN and Registry Operators. You
agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ICANN,
Registry Operator(s) (including but not limited to VeriSign,
Inc., Public Interest Registry, Afilias Limited, NeuLevel,
Inc., NeuStar, Inc.) and their respective subcontractors,
shareholders, directors, officers, employees, affiliates and
agents from and against any and all claims, damages,
liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs and any other expenses arising out
of or related to your domain registration and any disputes
regarding same. This indemnification obligation shall
survive the termination or expiration of the registration
agreement.
