Domain Name Registration Service Agreement

=========================================================
GLOBAL TOP LEVEL DOMAIN NAMES – TERMS AND CONDITIONS
=========================================================

1. Introduction
This agreement is between Heart Internet, the “registrar”, and you, the individual or entity registering the domain name (the “registrant”). In order to register a domain name on the Internet through our registration service you must submit this agreement together with the completed online application form. When we accept your application you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this agreement.
2. Commencement and Term of registration
Registration of the domain name commences when we accept your application and continues for a term of one (1) to ten (10) years according to the registration term chosen by you and the type of domain name extension you are purchasing or renewing. Registrations and renewals are subject to payment of the applicable fees. All domain name registrations are not effective until we deliver the registration information you provide us to the relevant registry operator, and the registry operator puts into effect your domain name registration or renewal. The current registry operators are Verisign, Inc for .com and .net, Public Interest Registry for .org, Afilias Ltd for .info and Neulevel Inc for .biz.
3. Renewal of registration
We will email you a renewal notice thirty (30) days before the domain name registration term expires to the email address provided by you. You can renew the registration for another term of between one (1) to ten (10) years and there is no limit in the number of consecutive renewals you can make. Renewal of registration is subject to payment of the relevant fee at the time of renewal. Failure to renew your registration results in the suspension of the domain name and its release for use by others. Although every effort is made to ensure that you receive your email renewal notice, this is a courtesy reminder notice only and does not confer liability upon Heart Internet for the cost of renewing your domain name or any other costs or damages if you fail to receive your email renewal notice.
4. Ownership of the domain name
4.1 In submitting this application you warrant that:
(a) You are the owner of the domain name; and
(b) The domain name does not infringe any legal rights of any third party. In addition, you agree not to use your domain name to spam or send unsolicited commercial email (UCE) to other internet users.
4.2 You remain the owner of the domain name even if you license use of the domain name to a third party.
5. Transfer of Domain Name
In order to transfer a domain name to another party you must be a Heart Internet member and the transfer must be executed with another Heart Internet member. The transfer of ownership is affected through our online application process and must be initiated by the registered user wishing to transfer their domain name to the other party. The parties to any transfer are referred to the policies contained in the Policy for Transfer of Domain Name ownership document.
To transfer the ownership of a domain name the current registrant must:
(a) Relinquish its registration of the domain name;
(b) Pay all outstanding fees;
(c) Accept the terms in the Policy for Transfer of Domain Name
(d) Agree to discharge the registrar from all obligations to you under this agreement at the effective date of the transfer;
(e) Follow the instructions contained in the Procedure for Transfer of Domain Name; and
(f) Submit the online Transfer form.
The transferee (new registrant) must also:
(a) Enter into a registration agreement (of a minimum of 1 year’s duration) with the registrar;
(b) Reaffirm the accuracy, completeness and currency of the personal data in the agreement;
(c) Agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Domain Name Registration Service Agreement;
(d) Review the Policy for Transfer of Domain Name; and
(e) Follow the instructions contained in the Procedure for Transfer of Domain Name.
6. Fees

6.2 In the event that you fail to pay the fees by the due date, the registrar may place the domain name on hold for a period of up to thirty (30) days. If the fees are outstanding at the end of the thirty (30) days, registrar may terminate or deactivate the registration. As a consequence, the registrant loses ownership of the domain name and in the event that it desires to regain the same domain name, must re-register for it.
6.3 Registration is not effective until the Registration fee has been paid and cleared into the account of the registrar. In the event of a charge back by the credit card company or other non-payment by you in connection with the payment of the fees, you agree that the registration will be transferred back to the registrar, and that the registrar reserves all rights regarding the domain name including, without limitation, the right to make the domain name available to other parties for purchase. Should you wish to have ownership of a domain name transferred back to you after you have initiated a chargeback, you agree to pay any costs, fees or charges associated with the chargeback.
7. Taxes
The fees payable under this agreement are exclusive of all government charges, taxes, duties and levies and the registrant agrees to pay any and all such charge, taxes, duties and levies arising out of or in connection with this agreement. In particular, you must pay to the registrar any amount (VAT or GST or its equivalent) which the registrar if obliged to pay as a result of any supply made or deemed to be made or other matter or thing under or in connection with this agreement.
8. Personal data
8.1 You must provide to the registrar the information in the compulsory fields in order to obtain registration. You may provide the information in the voluntary fields.
8.2 You warrant that the data is accurate, complete and current.

These business partners are not authorized to use such information for purposes beyond those specified by the registrar and are required to preserve the confidentiality with which the registrar treats such information.
8.4 The registrar will not disclose the information to third parties, public or private, except where required by ICANN or AuDa policy or direction, as required by domestic or international law, or for other purposes as permitted by other laws.
8.5 The registrar will use its best efforts to protect the information from loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access or misuse.

This is a separate contract to any arrangement you may have with any third party for the provision of internet services.

This Contract includes our current Rules For The .uk Domain And Sub-Domains (“Rules”) and the Policy and Procedure for our Domain Name Dispute Resolution Service (“Policy” and “Procedure” as appropriate). Copies of the Policy, Procedure and Rules are here or can be obtained from us.

You may have registered a Domain Name through a third party (usually, but not always, your internet service provider). In these terms and conditions, the term “Agent” means such a third party.

What we will do

We will process your application to register a Domain Name and consider whether or not to accept it in accordance with the criteria laid down in the Rules;

1.1. If your application is accepted, we will inform you or your Agent. If your application is rejected, we will inform you or your Agent as soon as reasonably practicable and return to you or your Agent (as appropriate) any payments received;

1.2. Unless the current Rules of the relevant sub-domain state to the contrary, we will register Domain Names on a first come, first served basis. Until we accept your application, there is no guarantee that the Domain Name you applied for will be entered in the Register as such. We therefore recommend that you do not take any action in respect of a Domain Name until you have received confirmation from us that your application has been accepted.

1.3. After your application has been accepted, we will enter the Domain Name and other relevant details (namely the data described in clause 6 below, together with details of your Agent, if any) in the Domain Name register database for the requested second level of the .uk top level domain (the “Register”).

1.4. We will use the information in the Register entry for the Domain Name to enable the resolution of requests for the Domain Name, by pointing to the authoritative name servers listed in the Register Entry for the Domain Name. For further information about the technical requirements for registering a Domain Name, please contact your Agent.

1.5. After your application has been accepted and we have received your registration fee, we will issue you with a registration certificate and a reply form.

1.6. Subject to clause 8 below, we will transfer your Domain Name and update the Register accordingly on receipt of correctly completed transfer documentation from you and any relevant transfer fee applicable at the time of transfer. We will not transfer a Domain Name whilst it is the subject of legal proceedings or proceedings under our Dispute Resolution Service.

1.7. Please note that subject to clauses 8.5 and 8.6 we will not refund any fees after your Domain Name and details have been entered in the Register.

1.8. Subject to clauses 8.7 and 8.8 below, we will only make changes to the details contained on the Register (other than the registrant field), if we receive instructions and approval from you or your Agent.

1.9. Subject to clauses 8.7 and 8.8, we shall only alter the details contained in the “registrant” field of the Register if we receive authorisation directly from you.
What you must do

2.1. You must ensure that we receive the registration or renewal fee within one month after the issue of our invoice. For the avoidance of doubt, if you use an Agent it will be your responsibility to ensure that the Agent has paid the registration or renewal fee to us within one month of the issue of our invoice.

2.2. You must sign and return to us the reply form which we will send to you after registration or renewal as appropriate.

2.3. You must inform us promptly of any change in your registered details, and those of your Agent if applicable.

2.4. You must promptly inform us of any court proceedings brought in respect of the Domain Name.

2.5. Any name server listed in the Register entry for the Domain Name must respond authoritatively to requests for the Domain Name at all reasonable times.
Renewal of your Domain Name Registration

3.1. The registration period is two years from the date of entry into the Register of your Domain Name registration. Provided you pay us your renewal fee and subject to clause 8 below, you will have the right to renew the Domain Name registration by entering into a new Contract with us for further periods of two years.

3.2. Subject to clause 3.3 below, when the Domain Name registration falls due for renewal, we will contact your Agent (at the Agent’s address appearing in the Register) to request payment of the relevant renewal fee.

3.3. If no Agent is listed on the Register entry for the Domain Name, or if the Register entry for the Domain Name indicates that you wish to be invoiced direct, we will request payment of the relevant renewal fee direct from you at the registrant address appearing in the Register.

3.4. If we fail to receive the renewal fee within thirty (30) days of our making a request for the renewal fee, we will suspend your registration for at least 6 weeks and if we do not receive payment within the suspension period we will cancel your registration without further notice to you. During any period of suspension, we will not point to any name servers listed in the Register entry for the Domain Name, and you will be unable to use or transfer the Domain Name.

Each such change will be published in advance (where practicable, 30 days in advance) on our web site: http://www.nominet.org.uk and will become binding and effective upon the date specified therein.
