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 SoxDomains 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.

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 SoxDomains possession to review, modify or update such Registration Information, by accessing SoxDomains 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 SoxDomains 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.

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.

Ownership of data. You agree and acknowledge that SoxDomains 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 SoxDomains 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, email address, voice telephone number, and where available fax number of the technical contact, authorized contact, zone contact and billing contact for the domain registration; (d) any remarks concerning the registered domain that appear or should appear in the WHOIS or similar database; and (e) any other information SoxDomains 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. SoxDomains does not have any ownership interest in your specific personal registration information outside of its rights in its Domain Database.

Domain parking:

  1. 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 SoxDomains, 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. By not designating name servers during the registration process, you hereby consent to and authorize SoxDomains placement of a "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 SoxDomains until you modify the name servers after the domain registration is complete, using your account manager.
  2. In the event your domain registration expires, your registration is no longer valid. If you are able to renew the domain name, you may update the domain to its original settings. After expiration, but prior to renewal, the domain may be pointed to an "expired" page (collectively, "parking a domain" or a "parked domain"). There is no charge for the parked domain. By not renewing the domain, SoxDomains may place an "expired" page, and its associated contents, on the parked domain. You may change the name server configuration (or "un-park" the domain) after the renewal is complete. If you need to register name servers using the domains that you are currently renewing, the names will initially be parked with SoxDomains until you modify the name servers after the domain renewal is complete, using your account manager.
  3. The "coming soon" and/or "expired" pages may contain advertisements and other materials selected by SoxDomains, in SoxDomains sole discretion. This may include, but is not limited to third-party Web sites, third-party product and service offerings, and/or Internet search engines.
  4. 404 Error Page. In the event you fail to configure a 404 error page, a default 404 error page will be configured by SoxDomains to appear in the event an Internet user enters a URL related to your domain but for which no file is associated. By not configuring a 404 error page, you hereby consent to and authorize SoxDomains placement of a default 404 error page and its associated content on your website. SoxDomains 404 error page may contain advertisements and other materials selected by SoxDomains in SoxDomains sole discretion. This may include, but is not limited to, third-party website, third-party product and service offerings, and/or Internet search engines. You may change the 404 error page configuration at any time.
  5. DNS Wildcard. In the event you utilize SoxDomains DNS management services and fail to configure a wildcard DNS for your domain, SoxDomains may insert wildcard DNS records to resolve subdomains of your domain that would not otherwise resolve. SoxDomains may point those subdomains to a web page that may contain advertisements and other materials selected by SoxDomains in SoxDomains sole discretion. This may include, but is not limited to, third-party website, third-party product and service offerings, and/or Internet search engines.

Registration renewal:

  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. SoxDomains 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 SoxDomains 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.
  2. Autorenewal. You agree that if you paid for any services provided hereunder by credit card, you hereby authorize but do NOT obligate, SoxDomains 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 SoxDomains, unless you notify SoxDomains that you do not wish to participate in SoxDomains automatic renewal process. SoxDomains must receive notification of your intent to not renew (opt-out) no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to renewal date or on renewal date. In the absence of such notification from you, SoxDomains 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 SoxDomains, at SoxDomains then current rates. You are solely responsible for the credit card information you provide to SoxDomains and must promptly inform SoxDomains of 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 SoxDomains shall not be liable for your failure.
  3. Grace Period; Transfer of Expired Domain Names. You agree that we may place our contact information in the WHOIS output for any expired domain name, as the failure to renew results in the immediate cancellation of registration and loss of all rights to the domain name. Should you choose not to renew your domain name during any applicable grace period, you agree that we may, in our sole discretion, renew and transfer the domain name to a third party on your behalf as an Expired Domain Transfer ("ED Transfer").
  4. New Customers through SnapNames and/or ED Transfers. If you are registering a domain name that was registered with, and not yet deleted by, SoxDomains at the time of your purchase, you acknowledge and agree that the term of your registration will be for a period of one year from the original expiration date for the domain name immediately prior to your purchase, as the registration is the result of an ED Transfer (defined above). You will not be compensated for the inability to use the domain from the time it was expired until the time you are able to use the domain in your account. NOTE: Your rights to the domain name are non-transferable to any person nor Registrar for the first eighty (80) days of registration from the date the domain expired, prior to purchase, without notice, at SoxDomains discretion. In addition, it is your responsibility to verify if any domain is infringing anyone else's rights, prior to registration. If the domain name you have registered is found to be infringing on another person's rights, based solely on SoxDomains discretion, SoxDomains has the right to cancel your registration immediately. If your rights are terminated, your sole remedy will be limited to a prorated refund of the price paid to us for the domain name. If it is a willful violation of our agreement, you will not be entitled to any refund. WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TERMINATION OF YOUR RIGHTS TO THE DOMAIN NAME. YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY US FOR ANY ACTION COMMENCED BECAUSE OF YOUR FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND INFORM AND VERIFY THE ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT BY OTHER USERS OF THE DOMAIN.

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 SoxDomains 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.

Change of registrant of domains:

  1. Transfer of registration to another registrant. 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, SoxDomains 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 SoxDomains in its sole discretion). You acknowledge and agree that if you attempt to transfer your domain registration without paying SoxDomains 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.
  2. When changing the name of Registrant within SoxDomains, you agree that the domain name may be changed back to the Registrant listed immediately prior to the change upon written (email is acceptable) request within five (5) days (or reasonable time as determined at SoxDomains discretion) by Registrant that was listed immediately prior to change.
  3. Transfer of registration to or from another registrar. When transferring a domain name into SoxDomains 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 (email is acceptable) request by Registrant that was listed immediately prior to transfer or upon request by losing Registrar. At the time of transfer into SoxDomains, you must complete all required information requested through the online transfer application, i.e., contact information, nameserver information, etc. SoxDomains may elect to accept or reject your domain name transfer application for any reason at its sole discretion. You are not entitled to any refund in relation to the domain name transferred to another registrar.
  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: 1) initial domain registration or 2) completion of a domain transfer into SoxDomains If you choose to utilize our transfer lock service, you agree to provide written authorization (electronic acceptance is acceptable) to SoxDomains for the transfer of the domain to another registrar and agree to pay any and all fees that may be charged by SoxDomains 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.
  5. Transfer Lock. You agree that SoxDomains may, but is NOT obligated to, automatically opt your domain name into its Transfer Lock service to help protect against unauthorized transfers (applicable for .com and .net domain names). SoxDomains does NOT warranty NOR guarantee the service will prevent any unauthorized transfer of domain name(s). You may log in to your account and disable this service at anytime if you do not wish to use the service. SoxDomains will NOT be liable for any inconvenience this may cause you to properly transfer your domain. You are solely responsible for a failure to transfer the domain. SoxDomains shall not be liable for your failure.

Unsolicited email prohibited; consequences of sending unsolicited email:

  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), SoxDomains 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 SoxDomains) in the message body; (d) contains an ineffective opt-out procedure; or (e) uses an email 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 SoxDomains harmless due to the sender's act or omission in sending the email.
  2. Right to Disable Account or Domain. If you send Unsolicited Email and/or are listed on a public database (i.e., SpamHaus), SoxDomains reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately disable any domain or user account that allegedly sent such unsolicited email(s) 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 SoxDomains shall be considered to have originated from the account referenced, unless compelling reasons are provided to SoxDomains, such that SoxDomains believes that the Unsolicited Email originated with an unrelated third party.
  3. Single complaint of Unsolicited Email. If SoxDomains receives a complaint regarding Unsolicited Email, SoxDomains will reasonably investigate the claim by, among other things, contacting the administrative contact and/or the account owner of the domain at the listed email address. If there is no response within five (5) days of our request, SoxDomains 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 SoxDomains, take such remedial measures as SoxDomains may request, and SoxDomains 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 SoxDomains discretion.
  4. Multiple complaints of Unsolicited Email. If SoxDomains 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, SoxDomains 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 SoxDomains discretion.
  5. Additional Unsolicited Email guidelines. Certain SoxDomains 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.
  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 SoxDomains computer systems.

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 SoxDomains 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 accept liability for any actions of the licensee using the domain unless you promptly disclose the current contact information provided to you by the licensee and the identity of the licensee to any party providing reasonable evidence of actual harm.

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.
