Domain Name Registration Agreement

  1. Introduction

    2. Our goal is to provide you with the best possible domain web related services. To fully understand the terms that apply to the services we offer, we suggest you please carefully read the following. By using the services of name.com, you agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.

  2. name.com domain name registration, renewal, and management services

    3. We are an accredited Registrar of the Internet Corporation For Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") for the generic top level domains ("gTLDs") including but not limited to .com, .net and .org. We are also an authorized Registrar for country code top level domains ("ccTLDs") including .de, .co.uk, .nl and many others.

    1. Registration

      The registration and/or renewal of a domain name grants you a personal license to use the domain name for a period equal to the registration period.

      We register domain names on a first come, first serve, basis, except when otherwise required by ICANN or a domain name Registry. We do not guarantee availability of any domain name you wish to register or renew. Domain names registered or renewed for you will not be effective unless and until the designated Registry updates its domain name registry database in accord with the WHOIS and/or nameserver information you have provided to us.

      Name.com, the applicable Registry, or ICANN may decide that registration of a particular domain name is prohibited. Name.com may, in our sole discretion, refuse to process your application for the registration or renewal of a particular domain name. Further, you understand and acknowledge that we may also delete the registration of any domain name which we have registered, at any time for any reason.

    2. Account management and security

      You must use the Name.com Control Panel to manage your Name.com registered domain names, your account profile and any other ancillary services. You may also manage your Name.com registered domain names, your account profile and any other compatible ancillary services via the API if and only if you have completed the API application process and agreed to any and all additional Terms of Service.

      You must maintain your account login details as confidential information, in order to preserve account security. You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of the login details of your account, including but not limited to your username, password and security questions and answers. You agree to immediately notify us in the event of any breach of security. We are not liable for unauthorized use or misuse of your usernames or passwords including but not limited to the transfer, redirection, suspension or deletion of any domain name or service.

      In the event that you contact Name.com and claim that a third party has accessed your account or domains without your authorization, you agree that Name.com may charge you an administrative fee of $50 to begin an investigation of this claim, regardless of whether or not we modify the controlling party of the account and/or domain names. Please note that Name.com reserves the right to charge additional fees in our sole discretion. In the event that you fail to submit funds for these claims, Name.com reserves the right to not address your claim and/or disable your account and/or domain names.

      You are responsible for any and all actions taken in connection with the domain names in your account. This includes actions of your agents, assignees and others to whom you have provided an email account or other services originating with us.

    3. Expiration and renewal:

      Keep good record of the expiration dates of all your registered domain names. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that all of your registered domain names are renewed prior to their expiration dates.

      You agree that we are not liable for any claims of damage or loss arising from any failure to renew a domain name.

      You understand and acknowledge that the renewal of a domain name is subject to payment of applicable fees prior to the domain's expiration date and that it is your responsibility to ensure that these fees are paid.

      If you do not renew a domain name on or before its expiration date, the domain name will no longer resolve to the previously assigned name server(s). The domain name will be held in your account at Name.com for twenty-five (25) days following the expiration date ("Expiration Period") and you may renew the domain name at any time during this period by paying the applicable registration fees and any past-due renewal fees. Once you have paid all the applicable fees, we will reinstate the domain name to resolve to the previously assigned name server(s).

      You acknowledge and agree that your right and interest in a domain name ceases at the end of the Expiration Period. At the end of this period, we will remove the domain name from your account and place it into a holding account for ten (10) days ("Hold Period"). We reserve the right to make any domain name that has entered the Hold Period available for registration to a third party. During the Hold Period, if the domain has not been registered by a third party, you may request that the domain be restored to your account at no additional cost. The applicable renewal fee and any other past due fees will be required to renew the domain and prevent the domain from being deleted.

    4. Deletion, transfer or recovery during redemption grace period

      At the end of the Hold Period we may, in our sole discretion, delete the domain name or transfer it to a third party.

      If we delete the domain name, it may become subject to its Registry's 'Redemption Grace Period' during which the domain name may be recovered by Name.com and returned to you. If you decide to recover a domain name during this period, you agree to pay a charge of $120.00 USD ("Redemption Fee"), to cover the fee incurred from the Registry as well as administrative costs associated with recovery. The Redemption Fee is in addition to the applicable registration renewal fee and any other past-due fees.

      At the end of many Registry Redemption Grace Periods, there may be a period during which expiring domain names are in "Pending Delete" status at the Registry. We cannot recover domain names in Pending Delete status. At the end of the Pending Delete status period, a domain name is made available for registration by the general public on a first-come, first-serve, basis. Some Registries do not offer Redemption Grace Periods, and so deleted domain names promptly become available for registration by anyone, on a first-come, first-serve, basis.

      A domain name may be transferred from a current Name.com registrant to a third party and remain serviced by us. The new registrant must create a Name.com account first, then the prior registrant can transfer or "push" the domain name into the new registrant's account.

      A domain name may also be transferred from Name.com to another registrar in accordance with the ICANN approved Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy, which can be viewed here: http://www.icann.org/transfers/. You acknowledge and agree that a domain name is ineligible for transfer to another registrar for sixty (60) days following registration or renewal at Name.com, transfer into Name.com, or transfer between Name.com registrants.

    5. Resellers

      If you choose to resell domain names via Name.com, you understand, acknowledge and agree to the following:

      You are prohibited from displaying the ICANN or ICANN-Accredited Registrar logo, or from otherwise representing yourself as accredited by ICANN unless you have written permission from ICANN to do so.

      Any registration agreement used by you shall include all registration agreement provisions and notices required by the ICANN Registrar Accreditation Agreement and any ICANN Consensus Policies, and shall identify Name.com or provide a means for identifying Name.com, such as a link to the InterNIC Whois lookup service.

      You shall identify Name.com upon inquiry from the customer.

      You shall ensure that the identity and contact information provided by the customer of any privacy or proxy registration service offered or made available by you in connection with each registration will be deposited with Name.com or held in escrow or, alternatively, display a conspicuous notice to such customers at the time an election is made to utilize such privacy or proxy service that their data is not being escrowed. Where escrow is used, the escrow agreement will provide, at a minimum, that data will be released to registrar in the event you breach this agreement, and such breach is harmful to consumers or the public interest. In the event that ICANN makes available a program granting recognition to resellers that escrow privacy or proxy registration data as detailed above, and you meet any other criteria established by ICANN in accordance with its Bylaws, you shall be permitted to apply to ICANN for such recognition.

      To the extent that Name.com is obligated to provide a link to an ICANN webpage, as detailed in subsection 3.15 of the 2009 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/raa/ra-agreement-21may09-en.htm ), you also shall be under an obligation to provide such linkage.

      If Name.com becomes aware that you are in breach of any of the provisions of Section 3.12 of the 2009 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/raa/ra-agreement-21may09-en.htm ) or any other provision herein, we shall take reasonable steps to notify the you that you are in breach.

ABE will automatically renew the registration of any of your domain names or other services up to 60 days prior to the expiration date to avoid interruption in services. Notices will be sent to account contacts to advise of upcoming expiration and pending renewals. All products or services renewed by ABE will be renewed for a registration period equal to the original registration period for which it was registered. For example, if you register a domain name for a one year period, it will renew for another one year period. ABE will continue to successively renew your domain names as long as you do not change your account setting and your credit card on file remains valid.

      ABE will first attempt to charge the credit card on file designated as the default payment profile. It is your responsibility to ensure that your credit card number is on file, is valid, current, not expired and active, and has adequate credit to fund the renewal transaction. In the event that this transaction cannot be processed with the default payment profile for any reason, we will attempt to deduct account credit to use ABE. If the default payment profile fails, and there is insufficient account credit, your domain(s), product(s) or service(s) may expire and you may lose your rights to use the domain(s) or any services for which you have registered.

      It your sole responsibility to ensure that the ABE is enabled or disabled per your preferences managed in your Name.com account. If ABE is enabled on any product or service within your account, you acknowledge, agree and authorize Name.com to automatically bill or charge to your credit card, or other applicable payment type, renewal fees for successive terms of equal length. Name.com reserves the right to, in our sole discretion, disable ABE at any time without prior notice to you.

It is your responsibility to ensure that all content placed on the parked page conforms to all local, state, federal, and international laws and regulations.

      It is your obligation to ensure that no third party intellectual or proprietary rights are being violated or infringed due to the content placed on your parked page. Neither Name.com nor our advertising partners will be liable to you for any criminal or civil sanctions imposed as a direct or indirect result of the content or links (or the content of the websites to which the links resolve) displayed on your parked pages.

    31. Additional registry requirements

      32. The following additional provisions apply to any domain names that you register through Name.com with the relevant registries:

      .NZ Registrant Core Terms

      ICM Registrant Core Terms

      .PL Registrant Core Terms

      The .AT registry has special rules regarding the expiration and deletion of .AT domains. Customers who choose not to renew .AT domains at their expiration should take note of these requirements, which are listed below:

      If you do not intend to renew your .AT domain when it comes up for renewal, you will need to complete the official NIC.AT cancellation form at least 28 days before it's expiration date and return it directly to the .AT registry..

      If an official cancellation form is not received by the .AT registry 28 days prior to the domain's expiration date, Name.com will be required to withdraw the registration, which will result in NIC.AT billing you directly for the subsequent registration period at the NIC.AT standard rate. Failing to make payment to NIC.AT may result in collections action.

      To have your .XXX domain name become a live website, you must self-attest to being a member of the Sponsored Community and complete the Membership Application. Registered .XXX domains will remain on hold until you complete the Membership Application, and apply your Membership Token to your .XXX domains from inside your Name.com account. No refunds will be issued for domains that remain on hold as a result of an incomplete Membership Application or lack of a Membership Token. Further details regarding the confirmation process are available at ICM registry.
