("Registrar"), the ICANN accredited Registrar and Equestrian Websites, through which the services are being offered. This Agreement explains our obligations to you, and explains your obligations to us for various services. By selecting our service(s) you have agreed to establish an account with us for such services. When you use your account or permit someone else to use it to purchase or otherwise acquire access to additional service(s) or to cancel your service(s) (even if we were not notified of such authorization), this Agreement covers such service or actions. By using the service(s) provided under this Agreement, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement, the accompanying dispute policy and any pertinent rules or policies that are or may be published by the ICANN accredited Registrar and the Reseller of domain names and through which the services are being offered.

This Agreement will become effective when accepted by the ICANN accredited Registrar and the reseller of domain names and through which the services are being offered. The ICANN accredited Registrar and the reseller of domain names and through which the services are being offered may elect to accept or reject your domain name registration application for any reason at its sole discretion, such rejection including, but not limited to, rejection due to a request for registration of a prohibited domain name.

1. Our Services:
 

You agree and acknowledge that the ICANN accredited Registrar and the reseller of domain names and through which the services are being offered is not liable or responsible in any way for any errors, omissions or any other actions by the registry administrator arising out of or related to your application and receipt of, or failure to receive, a domain name registration.

2. What We Do Not Do:
 

We cannot and do not check to see whether the domain name you select, or the use you make of the domain name, infringes legal rights of others. We urge you to investigate to see whether the domain name you select or its use infringes legal rights of others, and in particular we suggest you seek advice of competent counsel. You may wish to consider seeking one or more trademark registrations in connection with your domain name. You should be aware that there is the possibility we might be ordered by a court to cancel, modify, or transfer your domain name. You should also be aware that if we are sued or threatened with lawsuit in connection with your domain name, we may turn to you to hold us harmless and to indemnify us.

3. Fees:
 

As consideration for the domain name registration services and/or other services provided by the Reseller to you, you agree to pay Equestrian Websites, prior to the effectiveness of the desired domain name registration, the applicable service(s) fees for the initial registration of the domain name and, should you choose to renew the registration, subsequent renewals of the registration. All fees are non-refundable, in whole or in part, even if your domain name registration is suspended, cancelled or transferred prior to the end of your then current registration term. Your requested domain name will not be registered unless we receive actual payment of the registration fee, or reasonable assurance of payment of the registration fee from some other entity (such reasonable assurance as determined at our sole discretion). As further consideration for the service(s), you agree to: (1) provide certain current, complete and accurate information about you as required by the registration process and (2) maintain and update this information as needed to keep it current, complete and accurate. All such information shall be referred to as account information ("Account Information"). In the event of a charge back by a credit card company (or similar action by another payment provider allowed by us) in connection with the payments of the registration fee for your domain name registration, you agree and acknowledge that the domain name registration shall be transferred to us as the paying entity for that registration to the registry. We will reinstate your domain name registration solely at our discretion, and subject to our receipt of the initial registration or renewal fee and our then-current reinstatement fee, currently set at US$200. You will be notified via an email message or via your account information when renewal fees are due. Should these fees go unpaid within the time specified in a second notice or reminder regarding renewal or anytime after name actually expires, your registration can be cancelled. Payment must be made by credit card or such other method as we may indicate in the registration application or renewal form. We will renew your name for you provided your credit card or other billing information is available and up to date, unless you instruct us otherwise within the time specified. If your billing information is not accurate and you wish to renew your domain name registration, we will contact you to update this information and charge you accordingly.

   1. DEFENSIVE REGISTRATIONS
      
      Defensive Registrations allow owners of nationally registered marks to exclusively pre-register on the .name space and create a protective barrier for their trademarks. A "Defensive Registration" is a registration granted to a third party of a specific string on the second or third level, or of a specific set of strings on the second and third levels, which will not resolve within the domain name system but may prevent the registration of the same string(s) on the same level(s) by other third party applicants.
      
       
   2. PHASES OF DEFENSIVE REGISTRATIONS
      
      (a) As a Defensive Registration Registrant ("Defensive Registrant"), you hereby certify to the best of your knowledge that for Phase I Defensive Registrations ("Phase I Defensive Registrants"), you own valid and enforceable trademark or service mark registrations having national effect that issued prior to April 16, 2001 for strings that are identical to the textual or word elements, using ASCII characters only, subject to the same character and formatting restrictions as apply to all registrations in the Registry TLD. You understand that trademark or service mark registrations from the supplemental or equivalent Registry of any country, or from individual states or provinces of a nation, will not be accepted. Subject to the same character and formatting restrictions as apply to all registrations in the Registry TLD, if a trademark or service mark registration incorporates design elements, the ASCII character portion of that mark may qualify to be a Phase I Defensive Registration.
      
      (b) Phase II Defensive Registrants may apply for a Defensive Registration for any string or combination of strings.
      
      (c) Defensive Registrants, whether Phase I or Phase II shall comply with the following Eligibility Requirements, available at http://www.icann.org/tlds/agreements/name/registry-agmt-appl-03jul01.htm, the summary of which is as follows:
      
      (i) There are two levels of Defensive Registrations, each of which is subject to payment of a separate fee;
      
      (ii) Multiple persons or entities may obtain identical or overlapping Defensive Registrations upon payment by each of a separate registration fee;
      
      (iii) The Defensive Registrant must provide the information requested in Section 3(a) below;
      
      (iv) A Defensive Registration will not be granted if it conflicts with a then-existing Personal Name Registration or other reserved word or string.

      (b) You further agree that if a Phase I Defensive Registration is successfully challenged on the basis that it did not meet the applicable Eligibility Requirements, the Defensive Registrant will thereafter be required to demonstrate, at its expense, that it meets the Eligibility Requirements for Phase I Defensive Registrations for all other Phase I Defensive Registrations that it registered within .name through any Registrar. In the event that the Defensive Registrant is unable to demonstrate the foregoing with respect to any such Phase I Defensive Registration(s), those Defensive Registration(s) will be cancelled.
