ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION A. Registrar Services. HV/YOUR WEB HOST has entered into an agreement with an accredited domain name registrar, BulkRegister, Inc. (“BulkRegister”) to provide you with domain name registration services, for any requests by you to HV/YOUR WEB HOST to register an Internet domain name. As consideration for the domain name registration services provided by BulkRegister to you, on behalf of HV/YOUR WEB HOST, you agree to pay HV/YOUR WEB HOST, prior to the effectiveness of the desired domain name registration, the then-current amounts set forth in the HV/YOUR WEB HOST price schedule for the initial registration of the domain name and, should you choose to renew the registration, subsequent renewals of the registration. To view the current rates for using HV/YOUR WEB HOST’s domain name services, please see HV/YOUR WEB HOST’s PRICE SCHEDULE at http://www.YourWebHost.com/signup/signup.php3. All domain name registration fees are nonrefundable, in whole or in part, even if your domain name registration is suspended, canceled or transferred prior to the end of your then-current registration term. HV/YOUR WEB HOST reserves the right to change fees, surcharges, renewal fees or to institute new fees at any time, for any reason, at its sole discretion. Your requested domain name will not be registered unless and until HV/YOUR WEB HOST receives actual payment of the registration fee, and has confirmed your registration in an e-mail from HV/YOUR WEB HOST to the e-mail address indicated in your registration application. B. Cancellation; Reinstatement. You acknowledge and agree that any domain name which HV/YOUR WEB HOST and/or BulkRegister may register for you is a product of this Agreement and of the agreement between HV/YOUR WEB HOST and BulkRegister for your use during the term of this Agreement with respect to each domain respectively. Any deletion of a domain name and/or a refund or a chargeback by a credit card company (or similar action by another payment provider) in connection with the payments of the registration fee for your domain name registration without the explicit written consent of HV/YOUR WEB HOST will constitute a material breach of this Agreement. Hence, you agree and acknowledge that in the event of cancellation the domain name registration will be transferred back to HV/YOUR WEB HOST as the paying entity for that registration to the registry and that HV/YOUR WEB HOST reserves all rights regarding such domain name including, without limitation, the right to make the domain name available to other parties for purchase. HV/YOUR WEB HOST will reinstate your domain name registration solely at HV/YOUR WEB HOST’s discretion, and subject to its receipt of the initial registration or renewal fee and HV/YOUR WEB HOST’s then-current reinstatement fee. C. Renewal. Renewal of domain names that are registered through HV/YOUR WEB HOST and actively hosted will be processed automatically and billed to your account unless you instruct HV/YOUR WEB HOST otherwise with sixty (60) days written notice before the renewal due date. If you are no longer hosted with HV/YOUR WEB HOST or choose to not have your domain set to automatic renewal you will be sent renewal notices and will be responsible for contacting HV/YOUR WEB HOST with a credit card to process the payment and renewal of your domain. You agree that you are solely responsible for maintaining current, accurate credit card and billing information for your account and domain name. If your billing information is not accurate and you wish to renew your domain name registration, you agree that you will contact HV/YOUR WEB HOST to update this information and that HV/YOUR WEB HOST may charge you accordingly. D. Domain Name. HV/YOUR WEB HOST makes no representations concerning and does not guarantee that your domain name does not infringe upon any trademarks, trade names, service marks or other proprietary rights owned by a third party. You agree to be bound by the terms of Bulkregister’s Domain Name Registration Agreement, Bulkregister’s Domain Name Dispute Policy, and related agreements that you will be asked to review and you will be asked to indicate your acceptance of during the domain name registration process. E. Use of Personal Information; Updated Information. BulkRegister and/or HV/YOUR WEB HOST will collect certain personal information (including, without limitation, contact information such as name, address, e-mail address and telephone number) (“Personal Information”) from you during the domain name registration process. You agree and acknowledge that BulkRegister and HV/YOUR WEB HOST will share Personal Information that you provide (or that is gathered about you during the registration process, including, for example, your primary domain name server and the like), or that BulkRegister or HV/YOUR WEB HOST otherwise maintains, with one another, with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (“ICANN”), with registry administrator(s), and with other third parties as ICANN and applicable laws and/or policy may require or permit. You further agree and acknowledge that BulkRegister and/or HV/YOUR WEB HOST will be permitted (and in some cases may be required) to make publicly available, or directly available to third party vendors, some, or all, of the Personal Information or domain name registration information you provide, for purposes of inspection (such as through BulkRegister’s WHOIS service) or for targeted marketing and other purposes as required or permitted by ICANN and applicable laws. You also agree to allow HV/YOUR WEB HOST to contact you directly regarding promotions, general announcements and other communications. You may access your Personal Information and/or domain name registration information in BulkRegister’s or HV/YOUR WEB HOST’s possession by a request in writing or by e-mail to HV/YOUR WEB HOST (support@YourWebHost.com) to review, modify or update such information. You agree not to contact BulkRegister directly. HV/YOUR WEB HOST will not process data about any identified or identifiable natural person that HV/YOUR WEB HOST obtains from you in a way incompatible with the purposes and other limitations described in this Agreement. HV/YOUR WEB HOST, and BulkRegister, pursuant to its agreement with HV/YOUR WEB HOST, will take reasonable precautions to protect the information it obtains from you from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration or destruction. You hereby irrevocably waive any and all claims and causes of action you may have arising from such disclosure or use of your Personal Information and/or domain name registration information by BulkRegister or HV/YOUR WEB HOST. F. ICANN Guidelines. Additionally, you acknowledge that ICANN may establish guidelines, limits and/or requirements that relate to the amount and type of information that BulkRegister or HV/YOUR WEB HOST may or must make available to the public or to private entities, and the manner in which such information is made available. You hereby consent to any and all such disclosures and use of, and guidelines, limits and restrictions on disclosure or use of, information provided by you in connection with the registration of a domain name (including any updates to such information), whether during or after the term of your registration of the domain name. G. Third Party Data. In the event that, in registering the domain name, you are providing information about a third party, you hereby represent that you have (i) provided notice to that third party of the disclosure and use of the party’s information as set forth in this Agreement, and (ii) that you have obtained that third party’s express consent to the disclosure and use of that party’s information as set forth in this Agreement. H. Accuracy of Data. You acknowledge that willfully providing inaccurate information or willfully failing to update information promptly will constitute a material breach of this Agreement and will be sufficient basis for cancellation of your domain name registration. (In addition, under certain federal laws, such provision of inaccurate or false information is one factor in determining whether you may have violated the trademark rights of another party in registering a domain name confusingly similar to such party’s trademark.) You further agree that your failure to respond for over fifteen (15) calendar days to inquiries by HV/YOUR WEB HOST concerning the accuracy of contact details associated with your registration will constitute a material breach of this Agreement and will be sufficient basis for cancellation of your domain name registration. I. Registration Before December 13, 1999. If you have registered a .com, .net, or .org domain name through Your Web Host.com prior to December 13, 1999, and you asked HV/YOUR WEB HOST to register the domain name for you, such domain names are subject to the agreement you entered into with Network Solutions, Inc. (“NSI”), who was then Your Web Host.com’s exclusive provider of domain name registration services. By applying for the domain name and through the use or continued use of the domain name, the applicant agrees to be bound by the terms of NSI’s domain name registration service agreement and related policy (the “NSI Policy”) which is available at: http://www.networksolutions.com/legal/agreement.html. 5.
