In consideration of the mutual covenants herein, the parties agree to the following, which shall apply during the term of this agreement:

1. Domain Name Registration and Renewals

Registration

1.1 We make no representation that any domain name you wish to register or extend the period of registration by way of renewal is capable of being so by or for you at the time you place your order. Orders are accepted on the basis that should the domain name subsequently be found to not be available for registration or renewal then your order will be refunded. Likewise we are unable to guarantee that any domain showing as available at the time of placing your order will still be available for registration at the time the registration request is processed by the registry. You should therefore not assume registration of your requested domain name(s) until you have been notified that it has or they have been registered. Any action taken by you before such notification is at your risk.

1.2 The registration and continued use of your domain name is subject to the terms and conditions of use applied by the relevant naming authority; you shall ensure that you are aware of those Terms and Conditions and that you comply with them.

Domains registered with Nominet, the UK Internet names organisation, will be registered on your behalf on the understanding that you have read and accept their Terms and Conditions.

You shall have no right to bring any claim against us in respect of refusal to register a domain name. Any registration fees paid by you to us shall be non-refundable notwithstanding refusal by the naming authority to register your desired name.Domain names registrable through different organisations. Domains are registered as part of our wider Internet service provision and, as such, we retain full administrative control of the domain(s) registered on your behalf, ensuring smooth registration and renewal procedures.

In the unlikely event that you have a complaint with our domain services, please contact us so we can try and resolve the issue (we aim to respond to all email requests within 24 hours). If you are then still unsatisfied, please contact the appropriate domain registrar (CentralNIC, Nominet or Total Registrations) who will be able to help you.

1.3 We shall have no liability in respect of the use by you of any domain name; any dispute between you and any other person must be resolved between the parties concerned in such dispute. If any such dispute arises, we shall be entitled, at our discretion and without giving any reason, to withhold, suspend or cancel the domain name. We shall also be entitled to make representations to the relevant naming authority but will not be obliged to take part in any such dispute.

1.4 We shall not release any domain to another provider unless full payment for that domain has been received by us.

Renewal

1.5 A renewal invoice will be automatically created and made available in your client area 6 weeks (42 days) prior to the next due date. A renewal notice will be emailed to the email address on the account, and it is the registrant's responsibility to make sure their contact details are up to date. If you do not wish to renew a domain name please open a support ticket before the expiry date so the renewal invoice may be cancelled, reminders stopped and the domain and any associated services left to expire.

No domains or services on the renewal invoice will be renewed until full payment has been received.

In the case of Nominet (.uk) domains, on expiry they will then go into a 30 day protected period, after 30 days the domain will be suspended by Nominet and it will go into a 60 day grace period. If you change your mind and still want to retain your domain name, you still can and at the original renewal price. This must be requested by raising a support ticket before the 80th day after your domain has expired, after 90 days your domain will be cancelled and deleted from the register and made available for resale through a third party registrar by Nominet. We are not guarantee the renewal of a domain name after this happens.

1.6 It is your responsibility to ensure you renew your domain on time. We will not be held responsible if your domain registration is either suspended or cancelled by the registry due to non-renewal. We cannot guarantee that any grace period will be allowed by the domain registry and would therefore recommend that domains are renewed before the expiry date.
