This Services Agreement ("The Agreement") between you ("The Customer") and WebMatrixGlobal.com ("WebMatrixGlobal.com") sets forth the terms and conditions of your use of the services set forth herein (collectively, the "Services"). This Agreement explains our obligations to you, and your obligations to us in relation to the Services offered by us through our web site WebMatrixGlobal.com and/ or other associated sites or via any other mode of delivery. You acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement, as well as any other applicable WebMatrixGlobal.com Service Agreements, and any additional rules or policies or service agreements that are or may be established by WebMatrixGlobal.com from time to time. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR RIGHTS IN A DOMAIN NAME ARE NOT EXCLUSIVE, AND ARE ONLY COMPRISED OF THOSE RIGHTS CONVEYED TO YOU IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS STATED HEREIN. 1. Domain Name Registration, Administration and Renewal Services A. Generic Top Level Domain Registrations WebMatrixGlobal.com has agreements with various accredited registrars with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") for various generic top-level domain names including .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, .name and .pro ("gTLDs"). WebMatrixGlobal.com also may, in its sole discretion, accept applications to register and renew certain gTLD names in non-roman alphabet languages (e.g., Japanese, Hindi, and Korean). You acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions of ICANN's Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "UDRP"), as amended from time to time, which is hereby incorporated and made a part of this Agreement by reference for all gTLD domain name registrations or renewals. B. Country Code Top Level Domain Registration and Administration In addition to registering and renewing gTLD domain name registratons, WebMatrixGlobal.com also may, in its sole discretion, register and renew various country code top level domains ("ccTLDs"). The registry administrator for each ccTLD varies by individual country code. By agreeing to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, you are also agreeing to be bound by the rules and regulations set forth by these registry administrators for their respective registries only. WebMatrixGlobal.com may, in its sole discretion, decide to discontinue offering registrations or renewals of some or all ccTLDs. C. No Guarantee of Registration or Renewal Upon accepting your application to register or renew a domain name, WebMatrixGlobal.com will work with a Registrar of our choice to register or renew the domain name. The chosen Registrar will be your sponsor for that application. No domain name registrations shall be deemed effective unless and until the domain name registration or renewal application you provide us is delivered to the appropriate registry administrator, as applicable, and that registry administrator accepts your application and activates your domain name registration or renewal. You will be entitled to a refund only if your registration is unsuccessful. Further, you acknowledge and agree that WebMatrixGlobal.com does not guarantee that you will be able to register or renew a desired domain name, even if our systems indicate that domain name is available or you are able to complete an order with respect to such name. You also understand that WebMatrixGlobal.com cannot know with certainty whether or not the domain name which you are seeking to register is simultaneously being sought by a third party, or whether there are any inaccuracies or errors in the domain name registration or renewal process or related databases, including the various WHOIS or other registry databases. You also acknowledge and agree that WebMatrixGlobal.com is not responsible for any inaccuracies or errors in the domain name registration or renewal process. You are solely responsible for making sure that your registration or renewal has been properly processed. You further acknowledge and agree that WebMatrixGlobal.com may decide to accept or reject your application for registration or renewal for any reason at its sole discretion, such rejection including, but not limited to, rejection due to a request for registration or renewal of a prohibited domain name. You also acknowledge and agree that WebMatrixGlobal.com is not liable or responsible in any way for any errors, omissions or any other actions by any third party including any registry administrator arising out of or related to your application for and registration of, renewal of, or failure to register or renew a particular domain name. D. Your Representations By applying to register a domain name, or by asking us to maintain or renew a domain name registration, you hereby represent and warrant to us that (i) the statements that you made in connection with such registration, maintenance, or renewal are complete and accurate, and your contact information will be kept current; (ii) the registration of the domain name will not infringe upon or otherwise violate the rights of any third party; (iii) you are not registering the domain name for an unlawful purpose; and (iv) you will not use the domain name in violation of any applicable laws or regulations or WebMatrixGlobal.com's rules or policies. You agree and acknowledge that it is your responsibility to determine whether your domain name registration or use infringes or violates someone else's rights, including, but not limited to, whether any foreign language translations of your domain name, either between roman-alphabet languages, between non-roman alphabet languages, or between roman-alphabet and non-roman alphabet languages, infringe or violate someone else's rights. E. Domain Name Registrant WebMatrixGlobal.com considers the entity named as the Administrative Contact for the domain name at the time the controlling User name and password are secured to be the Registrant of that domain name and that entity is your agent with full authority to act on your behalf with respect to the domain name registration or any other services obtained from WebMatrixGlobal.com, including (but not limited to) the authority to terminate, transfer (where permitted by the Agreement), or modify such services, or obtain additional services. IF A REGISTRANT TRANSFERS A DOMAIN NAME TO ANOTHER REGISTRAR OR TO A NEW REGISTRANT, THE WEBMATRIXGLOBAL.COM SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH THAT DOMAIN NAME MAY TERMINATE FOLLOWING THE TRANSFER. F. Coming Soon/ Under Construction Page All domain names registered through WebMatrixGlobal.com may be pointed to a "Coming Soon" or "Under Construction" web page, which informs visitors that the registrant has recently registered their domain name via WebMatrixGlobal.com and/or that the registrant has contracted WebMatrixGlobal.com to build the web site. The Coming Soon/ Under Construction web page may be modified at any time by WebMatrixGlobal.com without prior notice to you and may include such things as, without limitation (i) links to additional products and services offered by WebMatrixGlobal.com, (ii) advertisements for products and services offered by third-parties, and (iii) an internet search engine interface.

Provisions for Non-Roman Alphabet Names You acknowledge and agree that WebMatrixGlobal.com cannot guarantee the functionality of non-roman alphabet language domain names, or that its non-roman alphabet language registration service will be error-free, in that WebMatrixGlobal.com cannot know with certainty whether or not the non-roman alphabet language domain name you are seeking to register or renew will be translated properly by the Internationalized Domain Name System. Furthermore, you acknowledge that WebMatrixGlobal.com or the registry administrator may be required to suspend, modify or cancel your non-roman alphabet language registration in order to comply with new ICANN or IETF rules, regulations or standards that apply to such registrations. 2. Web Site Forwarding Web Site Forwarding provides you with the capability to forward visitors to a domain name residing on WebMatrixGlobal.com's DNS servers to any other Web site designated by you (a "forward to address"). You acknowledge and agree that you may use Web Site Forwarding to link your domain name to a forward to address, but you may not use Web Site Forwarding for unlawful purposes, in violation of any applicable laws or regulations, in violation of WebMatrixGlobal.com's rules or policies, for the forwarding of a domain name not registered in your name, the forwarding to an invalid forward to address, or the unauthorized forwarding to a third party Web site. 3.

In addition, we reserve all rights regarding such domain name registration including, without imitation, the right to make the domain name registration available to other parties for purchase.

Entire Agreement; Section Headings This Agreement as well as any additional WebMatrixGlobal.com rules and policies, together with all modifications thereto, constitute the entire agreement between you and WebMatrixGlobal.com concerning your use of the Services, and supercede and govern all prior proposals, agreements or other communications between you and WebMatrix (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Agreement). You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use third party, affiliate or other WebMatrixGlobal.com Services, third-party content or third-party software. YOU AGREE THAT REGARDLESS OF ANY STATUTE OR LAW TO THE CONTRARY, ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO USE OF THE SERVICES OR THE AGREEMENT MUST BE FILED WITHIN SIX (6) MONTHS AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE OR BE FOREVER BARRED. The section titles in the Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. 24. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be deemed in default hereunder, nor shall it hold the other party responsible for, any cessation, interruption or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder due to earthquake, flood, fire, storm, natural disaster, act of God, war, terrorism, armed conflict, labor strike, lockout, or boycott, provided that the party relying upon this section shall take all steps reasonably necessary under the circumstances to mitigate the effects of the force majeure event upon which such notice is based; provided further, that in the event a force majeure event described in this Section extends for a period in excess of thirty (30) days in the aggregate, WebMatrix may immediately terminate this Agreement and shall have no liability therefore. 25. General You agree and acknowledge that any acceptance of your application for the Services and the performance thereof will occur at any of our offices worldwide. Except as otherwise set forth herein, your rights under this Agreement are neither assignable nor transferable. Any attempt by your creditors to obtain an interest in your rights under this Agreement, whether by attachment, levy, garnishment or otherwise, renders this Agreement voidable at our option. You agree not to resell any of the Services without WebMatrix's prior express written consent. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the parties. Except as expressly stated herein, this Agreement shall not be construed to create any obligation by WebMatrix to any non-party to this Agreement. The failure of WebMatrix to require your performance of any provision hereof shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by WebMatrix of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or be so held by applicable court decision, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render this Agreement unenforceable or invalid as a whole. WebMatrix will amend or replace such provision with one that is valid and enforceable and which achieves, to the extent possible, the original objectives and intent of WebMatrix as reflected in the original provision. |
