DOMAIN REGISTRATION CONFIRMATION
1. We make no representation that any Domain Name You wish to register is capable of being registered by or for You. You should therefore not assume registration of the requested Domain Name until You have been notified by Us that such Domain Name has been officially registered. Any action taken by You before such notification is solely at Your own risk.
2. The confirmation of Domain Name registration takes the form of an entry in the WHOIS database. The status at anytime can be checked at the relevant WHOIS page. To perform a WHOIS lookup for a Domain Name ending .com, click here, for a Domain Name ending .net, click here, for a Domain Name ending .org, click here or for a Domain Name ending .info, click here. For the avoidance of doubt, We do not validate Domain Name registration. It is Your responsibility to confirm the Domain Name registration has taken place and the Domain Name registrant details are correct. WHOIS data may be out of date and You agree and accept that Domain Name conflicts and failed Domain Name registrations may occur as a result.
DOMAIN REGISTRATION PERIOD
TERM
3. You agree to purchase each Domain Name for a minimum term of twelve months, beginning at the time when the Domain Name is initially set up. Your Domain Name shall be registered only in multiples of twelve months.
RENEWAL
4. At the end of the agreed term the Domain Name shall automatically be cancelled unless renewal has been requested by You in writing and the correct payment received by Us and cleared before the end of the term.
RENEWAL REMINDERS
5. Although We shall endeavour to inform You of the pending renewal of Your Domain Name, the responsibility is ultimately solely Yours and We shall not be liable for any loss incurred by You and arising as a result of Your failure to renew (registration of) Your Domain Name.
THIRD PARTY DISPUTES
6. You represent that the registration of Your selected Domain Name does not interfere with or infringe upon the rights of any third party.
7. You understand and agree that registration, reservation and/or use of Your chosen Domain Name does not confer immunity from objection by a third party to such registration, reservation or use.
8. We cannot and do not check to see whether the Domain Name You select, or the use You make of the Domain Name, infringes the legal rights of any third party. We urge You to investigate to see whether the Domain Name You select or use infringes the legal rights of others, and in particular that You seek competent legal advice. You may wish to consider seeking one or more trademark registrations in connection with each Domain Name. You should be aware that there is the possibility We may be ordered by a court to cancel, modify, or transfer Your Domain Name. You agree that if We are sued or threatened with lawsuit(s) in connection with Your Domain Name, You shall hold Us harmless and indemnify Us for all costs incurred and extra fees charged at Our Hourly Rate for time spent as a result.

Please take the time to familiarise Yourself with said policy. Other policies at http://www.icann.org/en/udrp/ shall also apply if We deem necessary.
10. You agree that, if the registration or reservation of Your Domain Name is challenged by a third party, You shall be subject to the provisions specified in the Dispute Policy in effect at the time of the dispute. You agree that in the event a Domain Name dispute arises with any third party, You shall indemnify and hold Us harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Dispute Policy.
