1. INTRODUCTION. In this Service Agreement (“Agreement”), “you” and “your” refer to each customer (“Customer”) and its agents, including each person listed in your account information as being associated with your account, and “we”, “us” and “our” refer collectively to Network Solutions, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Network Solutions”). This Agreement explains our obligations to you, and your obligations to us in relation to the Network Solutions service(s) you purchase. By purchasing or otherwise applying for Network Solutions service(s), you agree to establish an account with us for such services. When you use your account or permit someone else to use your account to purchase or otherwise acquire access to additional Network Solutions service(s) or to modify or cancel your Network Solutions service(s) (even if we were not notified of such authorization), this Agreement as amended covers any such service or actions. Additionally, you agree that each person listed in your account information as being associated with your account for any services provided to you (including, but not limited to, domain name registration services) is your agent with full authority to act on your behalf with respect to such services in accordance with the permissions granted, and that the Primary Contact and Account Administrative Contact for your account shall have the authority, without limitation, to terminate, transfer (where transfer is permitted by the Agreement), or modify such services or your account information, or purchase additional services. Any acceptance of your application(s) or requests for our services and the performance of our services will occur at our offices in Herndon, Virginia, the location of our principal places of business. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, you agree that if you list, directly or by default, Network Solutions as a contact for your account and/or any of the services in your account, we have the right, without notice, to remove our name and/or information from any such account or service and to replace the same with the name and/or information provided by you for any other contact associated with that account or service.
2. VARIOUS SERVICES. Sections 1 through 30 apply to any and all Network Solutions services that you purchase, whether purchased separately or as a part of a complete solution or package bundle. The terms and conditions set forth in the Schedules of this Agreement apply only to customers who have purchased the Network Solutions services referenced in those Schedules. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of Sections 1 through 30 and the terms of the Schedules, the terms of the Schedules shall control with regard to the applicable Network Solutions service. IMPORTANT NOTICE CONCERNING SERVICES THAT ARE COMBINED TOGETHER AS A PART OF A BUSINESS SOLUTION: If you purchase Network Solutions services that are sold together as a “bundled” package (e.g., you select nsSpace™ that includes both a domain name (nsWebAddress™) and a Network Solutions Website builder or other services, as opposed to your purchasing such services separately), termination of any part of the services will result in termination of all Network Solutions services provided as part of the bundled package. Please see Section 10(d) of this Agreement for more information. You acknowledge and agree that some or all of the services you purchase or receive from us may be provided by one or more vendors, contractors or affiliates selected by Network Solutions in its sole discretion. As a part of your Services, Network Solutions may provide you access to third party functionality or services, including, but not limited to applications, widgets, RSS and other types of news, event and industry feeds, calculators, recommended copy, forms and templates that are incorporated or are offered as a part of one or more of the Services (“Third Party Functionality”). You expressly agree that any Third Party Functionality (including products, services or offering)s that are available to You as a part of any of the Network Solutions product or services shall be used by You in accordance with the terms of any relevant third party licenses. Your failure to abide by any third party license may result in the immediate termination of your services by Network Solutions. Furthermore, Network Solutions does not control such Third Party Functionality and is therefore not liable for any issues of any kind relating to the Third Party Functionality. Network Solutions reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to terminate, suspend, cancel or alter your access to Third Party Functionality at any time.
3. FEES, PAYMENT AND TERM OF SERVICE. As consideration for the services you purchased, you agree to pay Network Solutions the applicable service(s) fees set forth on our Website at the time of your selection, or, if applicable, upon receipt of your invoice from Network Solutions. All fees are due immediately and are non-refundable, except as otherwise expressly noted in one or more of the Schedules to this Agreement, as required by applicable law, or as such fees are billed by Network Solutions under an invoice to a Customer that expressly permits payment for Services by a Customer within thirty (30) days after Network Solutions has sent the Customer such invoice (“Net-30 Customers”). Network Solutions may require a Customer to successfully complete a credit application prior to such Customer qualifying to become a Net-30 Customer. Customers who purchase Service(s) through outbound telemarketing and request cancellation of Service(s) within ten (10) days of purchase are entitled to a refund of all fees. If you qualify, we may extend payment terms to you under our Business Account Credit Program. Network Solutions will charge you a processing fee if you terminate or cancel any package prior to the completion of any limited money-back guarantee time period for that package or service (the “Processing Fee”). A Processing Fee of $34.99 will be charged for the cancellation of any one-year annual hosting, ecommerce, or Website design package. The Processing Fees for cancellation of multi-year packages will be: $34.99 per year for two-year packages, $34.99 per year for three-year packages, $22.99 per year for five-year packages and $17.99 per year for ten-year packages. Unless otherwise specified herein or on our Website, each Network Solutions service is for a one-year initial term and renewable thereafter for successive one to ten-year terms, as set forth during the renewal process. Any Network Solutions service on a monthly billing cycle may be billed every four (4) weeks. Any renewal of your services with us is subject to our then current terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, successful completion of any applicable authentication procedure, and payment of all applicable service fees at the time of renewal and in the case of domain name re-registration, the domain name registry’s acceptance of your domain name registration. Network Solutions may charge an Account Maintenance Fee to maintain your active account. This Account Maintenance Fee shall be billed to your account each year, thirty days following the annual date of your account creation. Except with respect to service to which you subscribe on a monthly basis, we will endeavor to provide you notice prior to the renewal of your services at least fifteen (15) days in advance of the renewal date. Additional payment terms may apply to the Network Solutions services you purchase, as set forth in the applicable Schedules to this Agreement. Pricing for services, renewals, and product upgrades and add-ons may vary b
ased upon the date of your purchase. We may, at any time, activate the auto-renew service for eligible services in your account. Further, we may provide you with an opportunity to “opt in” to our automatic renewal process in accordance with the instructions (and subject to your agreement to the terms and conditions pertaining to that process) on our Website. You agree that if you are enrolled in or otherwise utilizing our auto-renew service, we will attempt to renew your service at some point less than ninety (90) days prior to its expiration. Such automatic renewal for your service(s), if successful, may be for a shorter term than the term for which you originally purchased your service(s), but in no event shall such term be longer than the term then-currently in place for the service(s). Such automatic renewal for your service(s), if successful, shall be at the then-current price for the service(s). You further agree that, to turn off the auto-renew service for any of your services with Network Solutions, you must call 866.908.3450. You acknowledge and agree that the renewal price may be higher or lower than the price you paid for the then-current term of the service, and that we are authorized to charge your credit card or other payment method (such as PayPal ) on file for the renewal of the service(s). In any event, you are solely responsible for the credit card or payment information you provide to Network Solutions and must promptly inform Network Solutions of any changes thereto (e.g., change of expiration date or account number). You agree that, in any event, Network Solutions may extend the expiration date on your credit on file with us in order to protect against unwanted expiration of your services and to allow for the automatic renewal thereof. In addition, you are solely responsible for ensuring the services are renewed. Network Solutions shall have no liability to you or any third party in connection with the renewal as described herein, including, but not limited to, any failure or errors in renewing the services. In order to process a renewal under our auto-renew service, we may use third-party vendors for the purpose of updating the expiration date and account number of your credit card or payment method on file. Such third-party vendors maintain relationships with various credit card issuers and may be able to provide us with the updated expiration date and account number for your credit card by comparing the information we have on file with the information the third-party has on file. By selecting our auto-renew service, you acknowledge and agree that we may share your credit card or other payment method information with such a third-party vendor for the purpose of obtaining any update to your credit card expiration date, account number, or payment account. You agree to pay all value added tax (“VAT”), sales and other taxes (other than taxes based on Network Solutions income) related to Network Solutions services or payments made by you hereunder. All payments of fees for Network Solutions services shall be made in U.S. dollars. Although Network Solutions may display pricing in various currencies, transaction processing is supported only in U.S. dollars and the pricing displayed during the checkout process will be an estimated conversion price at the time of purchase. If the currency of your bank or credit card account is not U.S. dollars, you may be charged exchange rate conversion fees by your bank or credit card company. In addition, due to time differences between (i) the time you complete the checkout process, (ii) the time the transaction is processed, and (iii) the time the transaction posts to your bank or credit card, the conversion rates may fluctuate, and Network Solutions makes no representations or warranties that (a) the amount submitted to your bank or credit card for payment will be the same as the amount posted to your bank or credit card statement or (b) the estimated conversion price will be the same as either the amount processed or the amount posted to your bank or credit card statement, and you agree to waive any and all claims based upon such discrepancies (including any and all claims for a refund based on the foregoing). You acknowledge and agree that you may be charged VAT based on the country indicated in account holder address information associated with your account. Set up fees, if any, will become payable on the applicable effective date for the applicable Network Solutions services. All sums due and payable that remain unpaid after any applicable cure period herein will accrue interest as a late charge of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less. In the event of non-payment by a Net-30 Customer on any amount of any invoice, Network Solutions reserves the right to refer such invoice and Net-30 Customer to a collection agency in order for Network Solutions to secure payment on the invoice. Network Solutions may terminate any or all of the Services of a Net-30 Customer who fails to pay an invoice in a timely fashion. Network Solutions may charge a late fee(s) to Net-30 Customers for late payment of an invoice or a reinstatement fee(s) to Net-30 Customers who wish to reinstate Service(s) that have been terminated due to non-payment.

2. ICANN. You acknowledge and agree that your rights to any domain name registered or renewed by Network Solutions on your behalf or otherwise used in conjunction with the Services are not being granted by Network Solutions but are subject to the rules and regulations of ICANN, the related registry and applicable law. As such, in addition to this Agreement, you agree to also abide by any and all terms and conditions promulgated by ICANN, as amended from time to time, which are hereby incorporated and made a part of this Agreement by reference, for all domain name registrations or renewals, including but not limited to, the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (“UDRP”), as well as any policy that ICANN has established or may establish with respect to Domain Names and/or WHOIS information.

4. Fees and Payment. Initial domain name registrations, and domain name registrations that have passed the registration agreement’s anniversary date, must be in a paid status to transfer, delete, modify, or otherwise to request Network Solutions to affect the domain name record or to provide domain name services. Domain name registrations in an unpaid status are routinely deleted on a regular basis.
5. Transfers and Licensing of Use. You agree that you may not transfer your domain name registration to another domain name registrar during the first sixty (60) days from the effective date of your initial domain name registration with us. In addition, you agree that you may not transfer your domain registration to another domain name registrar for thirty (30) days after there has been a change in your Primary Contact information or WHOIS Administrative Contact information for your account(s). You may transfer your domain name registration to a third party of your choice, subject to the procedures and conditions found at:http://www.networksolutions.com/legal/static-service-agreement.jsp#f, incorporated herein by reference. Even if you license the use of our domain name registration services to a third party, you remain responsible for complying with all terms and conditions of this Agreement, and you accept liability for harm caused by such licensee’s wrongful use of our domain name registration services, unless you promptly disclose the identity of such license upon request by any person who provides reasonable evidence of actionable harm.
6. Network Solutions’ Disclosure of Certain Information. Subject to the requirements of our privacy statement, in order for us to comply the current rules and policies for the domain name system, you hereby grant to Network Solutions the right to disclose to third parties through an interactive publicly accessible registration database (such as WHOIS) the following mandatory information that you are required to provide when registering or reserving a domain name: (i) the domain name(s) registered by you; (ii) your name and postal address; (iii) the name(s), postal address(es), email address(es), voice telephone number and where available the fax number(s) of the technical, administrative and billing contacts for your domain name(s); (iv) the Internet protocol numbers of the primary nameserver and secondary nameserver(s) for such domain name(s); (v) the corresponding names of those nameservers; (vi) the original creation date of the registration; and (vii) the expiration date of the registration. If you are an individual who wishes to opt out of having your information displayed in the WHOIS database, you must choose the Private Registration service that is described in Schedule D to this Agreement. You consent to allow us to transmit this registration data to an ICANN approved or designated escrow agent who stores this information pursuant to ICANN requirements. You also grant to Network Solutions the right to make this information available in bulk form to third parties who agree not to use it to (a) allow, enable or otherwise support the transmission of mass unsolicited, commercial advertising or solicitations via telephone, facsimile, or email (spam) or (b) enable high volume, automated, electronic processes that apply to our systems to register domain names.
7. Domain Name Dispute Policy. If you registered a domain name through us, you agree to be bound by our current domain name dispute policy that is incorporated herein and made a part of this Agreement by reference. The current version of the domain name dispute policy may be found at our Website:http://www.icann.org/dndr/udrp/policy.htm. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions in this Agreement and those in the domain name dispute policy, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.
8. Domain Name Dispute Policy Modifications. You agree that we, in our sole discretion, may modify our dispute policy. We will post any such revised policy on our Website at least thirty (30) calendar days before it becomes effective. You agree that, by maintaining the reservation or registration of your domain name after modifications to the dispute policy become effective, you have agreed to these modifications. You acknowledge that if you do not agree to any such modification, you may terminate this Agreement. We will not refund any fees paid by you if you terminate your Agreement with us.
9. Domain Name Disputes Brought by Third Parties. You agree that, if your use of our domain name registration services is challenged by a third party, you will be subject to the provisions specified in our dispute policy in effect at the time of the dispute. For the adjudication of any disputes brought by a third party against you concerning or arising
from your use of a domain name registered with us or your use of our domain name registration services, you (but not Network Solutions) agree to submit to subject matter jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction and venue of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division and the courts of your domicile. You agree that in the event a domain name dispute arises with any third party, you will indemnify and hold us harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth below in this Agreement. If we are notified that a complaint has been filed with a judicial or administrative body regarding your use of our domain name registration services, you agree not to make any changes to your domain name record without our prior approval. We may not allow you to make changes to such domain name record until (i) we are directed to do so by the judicial or administrative body, or (ii) we receive notification by you and the other party contesting your registration and use of our domain name registration services that the dispute has been settled. Furthermore, you agree that if you are subject to litigation regarding your registration and use of our domain name registration services, we may deposit control of your domain name record into the registry of the judicial body by supplying a party with a registrar certificate from us. You agree that we will comply with all court orders, domestic or international, directed against you and/or the domain name registration.
10. No Guaranty. You agree that, by registration of your chosen domain name, such registration does not confer immunity from objection to either the registration or use of your domain name.

13. Under Construction Page. You acknowledge and agree that any or all domain names that are (i) registered with Network Solutions, (ii) hosted on a Network Solutions domain name server, and (iii) do not otherwise resolve to an active Website, may resolve to an “under construction” or similar temporary Web page (“Under Construction Page”), and that Network Solutions may place on any such Under Construction Page promotions and advertisements for, and links to, Network Solutions’ Website, Network Solutions product and service offerings, third-party Websites, third-party product and service offerings, and/or Internet search engines. You agree that Network Solutions may change the content and/or appearance of, or disable, any Under Construction Page at any time, in its sole discretion, and without prior notice. If for any reason, you do not want a domain name to resolve to the Under Construction Page described above, you may select an Under Construction Page that contains only Network Solutions branding and a domain name registration search box, as provided on our Website. You also agree that any domain name directory, sub-directory, file name or path (e.g. ) that does not resolve to an active web page on your Website being hosted by Network Solutions, may be used by Network Solutions to place a “parking” page, “under construction” page, or other temporary page that may include promotions and advertisements for, and links to, Network Solutions’ Website, Network Solutions product and service offerings, third-party Websites, third-party product and service offerings, and/or Internet search engines. You agree that Network Solutions may change the content and/or appearance of, or disable any of these temporary pages at any time, in its sole discretion, and without prior notice.
14. Requests to Change Registrar; Transfers Generally. You agree that Network Solutions may deny any request to transfer a domain name registration that is otherwise capable of transfer to another registrar where you fail to respond appropriately to a transfer confirmation request from Network Solutions. Furthermore, you acknowledge and agree that pursuant to applicable policies adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (“ICANN”) related to the transfer of domain names it is possible for your domain name to be transferred to another registrar even though the transfer has not actually been approved by you, and you agree that we shall not be liable to you for any such unauthorized transfers. You also acknowledge and agree that we cannot control and shall not be liable to you for the actions of third parties, including but not limited to registry operators, in connection with a domain name transfer, or a reversal of or refusal to reverse a domain name transfer, whether or not the transfer was approved by you.
15. Domain Transfer Lock. You agree that we may, but are not obligated to, place your domain name registration in a Domain Transfer Lock “on” status to prevent unauthorized transfers of your domain name registration, as described on our Website. You acknowledge and agree that in order to transfer a domain name registration that is in a Domain Transfer Lock “on” status, you may first have to access the account manager tool on our Website and remove the domain name registration from Domain Transfer Lock “on” status.
16. Grace Period; IP Address Changes; Renewal and Transfer of Expired Domain Names on Your Behalf. Prior to expiration of a domain name registration we will send renewal notifications with instructions for renewal via email to the registered account holder. You agree that we may, but are not obligated to, allow you to renew your domain name registration services after the domain name expiration date has passed. If the domain name registration is not renewed prior to expiration a notification will be sent via email to the registered account holder shortly following expiration providing notice that the domain name has expired and providing instructions for renewal for an additional fee. You agree that after the expiration date of the domain name registration and before it is deleted or renewed, we may direct the domain name to an IP address designated by us that states the domain name registration has expired with instructions for renewal and may further direct the domain name to, without limitation, an IP address which hosts a parking, under construction or other temporary page that may include promotions and advertisements for, and links to, Network Solutions’ Website, Network Solutions product and service offerings, third-party Websites, third-party product and service offerings, and/or Internet search engines, and you agree that we may place our contact information in the WHOIS output for the expired domain name. Should you not renew the domain name during any applicable grace period, you agree that unless you notify us to the contrary we may, in our sole discretion, renew and transfer the domain name to Network Solutions or a third party on your behalf (such a transaction is hereinafter referred to as a “Direct Transfer”), and your failure to so notify us after the domain name expiration date shall constitute your consent to such a Direct Transfer. In the event we are able to identify such a third party (the “Direct Transfer Customer”) and effectuate such a Direct Transfer, we will notify you via email after the transaction is completed (“Direct Transfer Notification”). You acknowledge and agree that the Direct Transfer process may be facilitated through a single Dire
ct Transfer Customer, or through a brief auction involving multiple parties who are interested in the domain name. You agree that we shall have no obligation to pay you, and you shall have no right to receive, proceeds, if any, in connection with the Direct Transfer process. We cannot guarantee, and we make no representation or promise, that any Direct Transfer will occur with respect to any particular domain name. You also agree that in the event your domain name services are terminated by us pursuant to this Agreement, we may transfer your domain name registration to Network Solutions or a third party, without any liability to you or obligation to compensate you in connection therewith. For reference, the current Network Solutions gTLD domain renewal fee is Thirty-Seven Dollars and Ninety-Nine Cents ($37.99) for one (1) year, although this amount may be less pursuant to a promotion, bundled service offering or other discount, while the current redemption fee is Two Hundred and Ninety-Nine Dollars ($299.00) plus the related renewal fee. You acknowledge and agree that the foregoing fees are subject to change at any time at the sole discretion of Network Solutions.
17. New Customers through a Backorder Service. If you are registering a domain name through a backorder service and that domain name was registered with, and not yet deleted by, Network Solutions at the time of your purchase, you acknowledge and agree that the term of your registration will be for a period of one year from the original expiration date for the domain name immediately prior to your purchase, as the registration is the result of a Direct Transfer (defined above). If you are registering a domain name through a backorder service and the domain name was not registered with Network Solutions at the time of your purchase but was deleted by the applicable top-level domain registry at the time of your purchase, you acknowledge and agree that the term of your registration will be for a period of one year from the date it is initially registered with Network Solutions by the provider of the backorder service.
18. Purchase and Registration of Premium Domain Names. Our Premium Domain Name Service offers for sale domain names that may be registered to third parties (also known as aftermarket or secondary market domain names) in a variety of TLDs (such as .com, .net, .org, .biz and .info TLDs). All Premium Domain Name registrations are offered on a “first come, first served” basis. After you complete the Premium Domain Name registration application, including payment of the purchase price, we will initiate the transfer of the Premium Domain Name to your account. At the time of transfer of the Premium Domain Name into your Network Solutions account, we will add one (1) year to the existing registration period. Any subsequent renewals of the Premium Domain Name will be charged at the then-current renewal fee. You acknowledge and agree that once you have completed your Premium Domain Name registration application, you have entered into a valid, binding and enforceable contract to pay the designated purchase price for the Premium Domain Name. All Premium Domain Name sales and registrations are final and non-refundable. When selling Premium Domain Names registered to third parties we make no representations regarding the accuracy or legality of domain names advertised, the accuracy or legality of any domain name listing, or the right and the ability of the third party seller to transfer the Premium Domain Name or complete the transaction. In addition, you acknowledge and agree that we reserve the right to reject or cancel your Premium Domain Name registration for any reason including, but not limited to, any pricing errors. In the event your Premium Domain Name registration is rejected or cancelled, for any reason, we will refund in full the amount of the purchase price for the Premium Domain Name as your sole remedy hereunder. Once the Premium Domain Name is transferred into your Network Solutions account, you agree that Premium Domain Name may not be transferred away from Network Solutions to another registrar during the first sixty (60) days following the transfer, during which time the Premium Domain Name may be placed on transfer lock.
19. Sharing of Information. You also acknowledge and agree that Network Solutions will share with each applicable domain name registry, certain information submitted by you in your application(s) for our services, as required by our agreement with the applicable registry or to provide the services you have applied for. You also acknowledge and consent to the use, copying, distribution, publication, modification and other processing of your personal data by the applicable registry and its designees and agents in connection with the applicable registry’s service obligations to us or third parties, or as otherwise deemed necessary by the registry to fulfill the registry’s service obligations to us or any third party.
20. Registry Actions or Inactions. Our ability to provide services to you depends in part upon the provision of services by third parties, such as the registry for each ccTLD or gTLD. We cannot control and will not be responsible for the actions or inactions of such third parties. For example, each registry has reserved the right to deny, cancel or transfer any domain name registration under certain circumstances. You acknowledge and agree that we shall not be liable to you or any other party in connection with claims, damages, losses, expenses or costs incurred or suffered by you as a result of actions taken or not taken by third parties, including, but not limited to, the applicable registry for your ccTLD or gTLD.
21. No Guarantees. We make no guarantees, representations or warranties that your proposed registration request for a domain name will be accepted by the applicable registry. You acknowledge and agree that the proposed registration request for a domain name(s) submitted by Network Solutions to any registry may fail or be rejected by the applicable registry for any number of reasons, including, but not limited to, the fact that your proposed registration request for a domain name was not first in time. You acknowledge and agree that the successful registration will depend upon a number of different factors that Network Solutions cannot predict or control.
22. Indemnification. In addition to Section 9 of the General Provisions of this Agreement on Indemnity, you are to indemnify, release, defend and hold Network Solutions, and each applicable registry for each ccTLD or gTLD harmless for all liabilities, claims, damages, costs and expenses arising out of: (a) your breach of any terms of each Schedule applicable to the domain name you have registered; (b) any violation of a third party’s right related to your registration; (c) any dispute with the applicable registry or a third party arising out of your registration; (d) any dispute related to the submission of your registration to the applicable registry; or (e) any use of the domain name(s) that you register with the applicable registry.
23. Disclaimer Concerning Intellectual Property Protection. YOUR REGISTRATION OF A DOMAIN NAME DOES NOT PROVIDE YOU WITH ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTIONS, RIGHTS OR REGISTRATIONS, NOR DOES IT PROVIDE YOU WITH ANY RIGHTS TO ANY PARTICULAR DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION.
24. Business Profiles. You acknowledge and agree that any or all domain names that are (i) registered with Network Solutions, (ii) hosted on a Network Solutions domain name server, and/or (iii) do not otherwise resolve to an active Website, may resolve to an “business profile” or similar temporary web page (a “Business Profile”), and that Network Solutions may place on any such Business Profile a template that includes generic information that is broken down by various categories.

SCHEDULE C-1 TO NETWORK SOLUTIONS SERVICE AGREEMENT
ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO SERVICES IN CONNECTION WITH .BIZ TLD.
In addition to the terms set forth in Schedule A, the following terms shall apply to .biz domain names.
1. Additional Representations and Warranties. If you are applying for the registration of a domain name in the .biz top-level domain (“TLD”), you also represent and warrant that: (i) the domain name will be used primarily for bona fide business or commercial purposes and not (a) exclusively for personal use or (b) solely for the purposes of selling, trading or leasing the domain name for compensation, or the unsolicited offering to sell, trade or lease the domain name for compensation; and (ii) the domain name is reasonably related to your business or intended commercial purpose at the time of registration.
2. Acknowledgment of Dispute Policies and Rules. The registrant acknowledges having read and understood and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the following documents, as they may be amended from time to time, which are hereby incorporated and made an integral part of this Agreement: (i) The Uniform Domain Name Dispute Policy, available at http://www.icann.org/dndr/udrp/policy.htm; (ii) The Start-up Trademark Opposition Policy (“STOP”), available at http://www.neustarregistry.biz/?q=support/faqs; and (iii) The Restrictions Dispute Resolution Criteria and Rules, available at http://www.neustarregistry.biz/?q=support/faqs#am. If at the time of your application for services in the .biz TLD, any of the above poli
cies or rules (collectively “.biz Policies”) have not yet been approved by ICANN (which may mean the .biz Policies are not available for viewing via live hyperlinks above), you agree to be bound by the terms of such .biz Policies upon such approval and in the final form approved by ICANN, as posted on our Website or the ICANN Website (located at www.icann.org).

Your application or registration (whether successful or not) for any .biz registry or .biz TLD services hereunder does not guarantee, and we do not promise, that you will be approved or eligible for any other services available or that may become available through us or any third party. For example, certain services in the .biz TLD are provided in sequential phases, and participation in one phase, does not automatically qualify you for participation in other phases, and any further participation is not automatic. The .biz registry, and not Network Solutions, determines the dates and times associated with the various service phases available in the .biz TLD. You agree to review and become familiar with the information available on our Website and on the .biz Website concerning the various phases and descriptions of services available in connection with .biz TLD, and to regularly check for modifications and/or updates to such information, as the same may change from time to time. You agree that you are solely responsible for applying and/or registering for the service phases you desire to participate in. Additionally, you acknowledge and agree that submission of an application for domain name registration or any other services, does not guarantee that you will ultimately be the registrant for a particular domain name, even if you participated in some other service associated with the domain name, such as an intellectual property notification service or similar service.
4. Third Party Beneficiary. Registry Operator (“NeuLevel”) is an intended third party beneficiary of these Term and Conditions with rights to enforce these Terms of Use.

ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO SERVICES IN THE .XXX sTLD
1. Eligibility Requirements. Registrants must be eighteen (18) years of age or older to participate in any of the pre-registration or registration phases for .XXX domains. You represent and warrant that every registration you are applying for in the .XXX sponsored top-level domain (“sTLD”) satisfies either the Non-Member Eligibility Requirements or Membership Requirements established by the ICM Registry, each of
which is more fully described on the ICM Registry website located at the following URL: www.icmregistry.com. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility, through the registration process for a .XXX domain name (and, if applicable, as required subsequent to your application), to provide the information necessary to satisfy ICM’s Membership Requirements for members in the Adult Entertainment Sponsored Community or Non-Member Eligibility Requirements for being a legitimate trademark holder, and that a failure by you to satisfy these requirements (whichever is applicable) may result in, among other things, (i) the domain name registration or pre-registration application(s) being rejected by Network Solutions and/or the ICM Registry, (ii) the domain name(s) being placed on “hold” by Network Solutions and/or the ICM Registry, and/or (iii) the domain name(s) being deleted by Network Solutions and/or the ICM Registry. Neither Network Solutions nor the ICM Registry shall be liable to you for any actions or inactions or any of them resulting from your failure to provide all required information to satisfy the Non-Member Eligibility Requirements or Membership Requirements at the time of registration or pre-registration (or, where applicable, subsequent to registration), and neither shall have any obligation to request or attempt to obtain from you additional information to establish your compliance with the ICM Non-Member Eligibility Requirements or Membership Requirements, even if the need for such information is known by them.
2. Pre-Registration. When you submit a .XXX pre-registration request, you are authorizing us to attempt to obtain a domain name in the .XXX sTLD (as described on our Website) for you if and when ICM Registry launches its Sunrise, Landrush and General Availability period. When each phase opens, Network Solutions will submit all pre-registration requests during the Sunrise, Landrush and General Availability periods and the ICM Registry will review all proposed registration requests. Please note that .XXX domain names will not be allocated on a first come, first serve basis during the Sunrise “AT” and “AD” periods further described in Paragraph 3 below. In addition, you agree to be bound by all policies, terms, and conditions of the initial launch of the .XXX sTLD found athttp://www.icmregistry.com/icm-policies.php, and further to acknowledge that neither ICM nor Network Solutions has any liability of any kind for any loss or liability resulting from the proceedings and processes relating to the Sunrise period or the Landrush period, including, without limitation: (a) the ability or inability of a registrant to register a .XXX domain name during these periods, and (b) the results of any dispute over a Sunrise registration.
3. Sunrise and Landrush Applications. Sunrise is created to protect trademark holders, pre-existing exact match domain holders, and to avoid abusive registrations. During the Sunrise period, the registry system will accept three different types of Sunrise applications. Sunrise AT and Sunrise AD are reserved for members of the sponsored TLD community, including providers of online adult entertainment, their service providers, and organizations that represent them, who, in each case, agree to comply with policies and practices developed for the .XXX sTLD (the “Adult Entertainment Sponsored Community”). Please see www.icmregistry.com for the full Sunrise rules, Membership criteria, and the contact validation process. You acknowledge that ICM Registry, or its designee, shall decide at its own discretion whether any documentation or information you submit verifies your right to register a domain name(s) either as Member or Non-Member of the Adult Entertainment Sponsored Community.
-
Sunrise AT: Sunrise AT stands for “Adult Trademark”. Sunrise AT applications must possess a registered trademark that meets certain criteria, and must attest to their membership in the Adult Entertainment Sponsored Community. Sunrise AT registrations will not be awarded until the prospective registrant has, within five (5) days after the close of the Sunrise period: (i) completed a membership application on the ICM website and his or her contact information has been confirmed; and (ii) completed and duly executed any supporting documentation that may be required for the Sunrise AT phase. Domain names awarded during Sunrise AT will not be operable (resolve in the DNS) and available for your use until on or about December 6, 2011, the “create-date” chosen by ICM Registry.
-
Sunrise AD: Sunrise AD stands for “Adult Domain.” Sunrise AD applications must correspond to an existing domain name that the registrant has in another TLD, and must attest to their membership in the Adult Entertainment Sponsored Community. Sunrise AD registrations will not be awarded until the prospective registrant has, within five (5) days after the close of the Sunrise period: (i) completed a membership application on the ICM website and his or her contact information has been confirmed; and (ii) completed the pre-existing exact-match domain validation process. Domain names awarded during Sunrise AD will not be operable (resolve in the DNS) and available for your use until on or about December 6, 2011, the “create-date” chosen by ICM Registry.
-
Sunrise B: Informally, Sunrise B stands for “blocked.” Sunrise B is for qualified trademark owners from outside the Adult Entertainment Sponsored Community. Sunrise B gives these rights owners the opportunity to add a .XXX domain name to the reserve names list and ensure that they are not registered by others. Within five (5) days after the close of the Sunrise period, the prospective Sunrise B registrant must complete and duly execute any supporting documentation that may be required by Network Solutions or the ICM Registry for the Sunrise B phase.
-
Landrush: The registration period for members of the Adult Entertainment Sponsored Community. Unlike Sunrise AD, AT, and Sunrise B, there are no qualification requirements needed for Landrush. Applications for competing names will go to auction at the end of the Landrush period. Landrush registrations will not be awarded unless and until, within five (5) days after the close of the Landrush phase, the prospective registrant has completed a Membership application on the ICM website and his or her contact information has been confirmed. Domain names awarded during Landrush will not be operable (resolve in the DNS) and available for your use until on or about December 6, 2011, the “create-date” chosen by ICM Registry.
During Sunrise, the registry system will accept an unlimited number of applications for a string, and an unlimited number of applications for a string of a given application type. In the event ICM receives more than one qualifiedSunrise AT and/or Sunrise AD application for the same names, the names will be awarded via auction. Details on how auctions will be conducted for Sunrise AT and Sunrise AD can be found at www.icmregistry.com. Please note that, pursuant to ICM Registry rules, domain names will not be awarded on a first-come first-served basis during the Sunrise period though such an award may be possible under certain auction rules. After Sunrise and before Landrush, there will be a Quiet Period during which ICM Registry will review Sunrise applications. Following award of a Sunrise AT, Sunrise AD, Landrush, or General availability domain name, the name will be on “transfer lock” for 60 days. Successful Sunrise B applications will not receive a traditional registra
tion under the control of the registrar that submitted the application. Rather, successful Sunrise B applications will result in the domain being blocked from future registration for a period of 10 years from the “create date” chosen by the ICM Registry, and pointed to an ICM Registry controlled, blocked webpage.
4. Creation of Separate Accounts for .XXX Domain Names. If you intend to register a .XXX domain name as a Member of the Adult Entertainment Sponsored Community through Sunrise AT, AD, or Land rush but also intend to register another .XXX domain name as a Non-Member through Sunrise B, you may not use the same registrant domain name account at Network Solutions to hold both Member and Non-Member .XXX domain names. You must create a separate registrant account to hold each type of .XXX domain name.
5. Validation Process. You agree that we shall have no liability to you or other third parties for anything related to the ICM Registry’s validation process for a proposed registration request that we have submitted and is pending final ICM Registry approval.

Proposed Sunrise and Landrush registration requests that are rejected by ICM Registry will be charged an administrative application fee that will not be refunded to you. We will, however, refund to you the registration fee charged during pre-registration for Sunrise and Landrush if you are not awarded a .XXX domain name and the registration fee charged during the pre-registration for General Availability if you are not successful with securing the domain name. Sunrise and Landrush application fees, registration fees and other applicable fees may also apply and be charged to your credit card after the Sunrise period begins if your proposed registration is accepted and processed by ICM Registry. Successful ICM registration requests are subject to the terms of the Agreement, including but not limited to this Schedule.
7. Ban on and Revocation of Certain Domain Names. You agree that ICM Registry has identified certain domain names that can not be registered during the Sunrise, Landrush, and General Availability process.

You understand that ICM Registry may also revoke a domain name at its own initiative for a variety of reasons including but not limited to nonpayment of fees or failure to meet ICM Membership or Non-Member Eligibility Requirements. All Sunrise and Landrush application submissions to the ICM Registry are considered final and we will not refund any application fees paid by you.
8. Registrant Information and Use of Personal Data. You agree to keep all registration and contact information related to your registration or pre-registration requests for a domain name(s) (“Personal Data”) current so that we can contact you for any reason or so the ICM Registry can contact you for any reason, including, but not limited to, any participation in a validation process for a domain name(s) during the Sunrise, Landrush, or General Availability period.

You acknowledge and agree that the successful registration will depend upon a number of different factors that Network Solutions cannot predict or control.

SCHEDULE M TO NETWORK SOLUTIONS SERVICE AGREEMENT
CERTIFIED OFFER SERVICE and CERTIFIED OFFER SERVICE PLUS
1. Additional Terms; Definitions. Except as specifically noted otherwise herein, the following additional terms and conditions apply to you if you use the Certified Offer Service or Certified Offer Service PLUS (together referred to as “COS”) in any way. As used in this Schedule, the term “Buyer” means any person or entity that uses the COS to make an Offer to a domain name registrant to transfer to such person a domain name registration through the COS. As used in this Schedule, the term “Seller” means the registrant of the domain name and its agents (including the registrant’s administrative contact) that is the subject of an offer from a Buyer. The domain name that is the subject of the COS is referred to in this Schedule as the “Domain Name.” You agree that any offer, counter-offer, and/or acceptance of either of them by a Buyer or Seller, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (which includes the terms and conditions of this Schedule).
2. Purpose of Certified Offer Service; Network Solutions’ Participation. You acknowledge and agree that the COS is intended to provide the Buyer and Seller with a means through which the Buyer and Seller may be able to come to an agreement regarding the transfer of the Domain Name for the payment of a fee from the Buyer to the Seller, and to facilitate any such transfer and the associated payment from the Buyer to the Seller, all in accordance with the terms of this Schedule. You acknowledge and agree that the terms of Section 10 of this Schedule set forth the legal agreement between
the Buyer and the Seller and that you have reviewed those provisions and find them to be acceptable to you. You acknowledge and agree that Network Solutions is not the agent of and is not acting as an agent for either the Seller or the Buyer, and that the Seller will look solely to the Buyer for fulfillment of the Buyer’s obligations hereunder, and the Buyer will look solely to the Seller for fulfillment of the Seller’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Buyer nor the Seller will look to Network Solutions for the fulfillment of the Buyer’s or the Seller’s obligations. Network Solutions’ role in the COS is that of sending communications from the Buyer to the Seller and the Seller to the Buyer, providing the terms of the agreement between the Buyer and Seller, receiving funds from the Buyer, processing any necessary registrar transfer, processing the registrant name change, and sending payment to the Seller, all as set forth in this Schedule. You acknowledge and agree that Network Solutions is not a broker and will not negotiate on behalf of either party. You further acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement or on our Website shall be construed to mean that the Domain Name can be or is being assigned from one registrant to another – all Domain Name transfers are completed pursuant to the terms of the Registrant Name Change Agreement that forms a part of this Agreement.
3. Third Party and Other Factors; No liability for Failed Transactions. You acknowledge and agree that the successful transfer of the Domain Name and the associated payment of the selling price to the Seller through the COS are dependent upon many factors that are not within the control of Network Solutions, and that Network Solutions shall not be liable for the failure of any transaction, in whole or in part (including but not limited to failure of the Domain Name to be transferred or failure of a payment to be made), where such failure is caused by the actions or inactions of the Seller (including but not limited to breach by the Seller of its obligations to you or us under the COS), Buyer (including but not limited to breach by the Buyer of its obligations to you or us under the COS) or other third party. For example, a Seller whose domain name registration is sponsored by a registrar other than Network Solutions must approve a transfer of the domain name sponsorship to Network Solutions before a transaction between the Seller and Buyer can be completed. If the Seller in that situation does not approve the transfer after agreeing to sell the domain name registration, or the Domain Name cannot be transferred because it is in a lock status or has not been registered at the current registrar for more than sixty (60) days, then the transaction cannot be completed (and no money will be paid to the Seller).
4. Indemnification by You. In addition to your other obligations of indemnification under this Agreement, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Network Solutions, its parent and subsidiary companies, and their respective officers, directors, members, shareholders, affiliates, agents, employees and assigns from and against any and all liabilities, claims, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, relating to or arising out of the termination of the COS by the Seller, the Buyer or Network Solutions (where Network Solutions is permitted to so terminate under the terms of this Agreement), or the failure of any transaction whether caused by the Seller, Buyer, or Network Solutions (except where such failure is the result of Network Solutions’ material breach of this Agreement).
5. Third Party Disputes Concerning Process or Actions. In the event the COS is terminated by Network Solutions as a result of a claim by a third party that the COS process or the actions of the Seller or Buyer violate(s) that third party’s rights, Network Solutions is authorized, but not obligated, to refund to the Buyer all funds paid by the Buyer to Network Solutions in connection with the COS and to transfer the registration of the Domain Name to the Seller, and/or “lock” the Domain Name until such time as any pending dispute concerning the Domain Name is resolved (as evidenced by an agreement between the applicable parties or an order of a court).
6. Your Additional Representations and Warranties; Intellectual Property Rights; Our Disclaimer. You represent and warrant that your use of the COS, including but not limited to your purchase or attempt to purchase, your sale or attempt to sell, your transfer or attempt to transfer, and your registration or attempt to register the Domain Name will not and does not infringe the rights of any third party (including but not limited to the intellectual property rights of any third party). You represent and warrant that you will take all steps necessary to fulfill your obligations under this Agreement and to complete the transaction contemplated by this Schedule. We make no representation or warranty as to the status of the Domain Name, including whether or not the Domain Name or your actions in purchasing, selling, transferring or registering the Domain Name infringes or will infringe on any other party’s rights. It is your responsibility to ensure that the Domain Name and your actions do not and will not infringe on any other party’s rights. Further, in addition to its other disclaimers in the Agreement, Network Solutions disclaims any liability with respect to the terms of the agreement between the Seller and the Buyer set out in Section 10, and Network Solutions makes no representation or warranty that the terms of that agreement are adequate to meet your needs or to provide you with the legal rights, protections and obligations that are best for you. If you do not wish to use the terms of Section 10 for your agreement with the Seller or the Buyer, you should not use this service.
7. Termination by Network Solutions; No Liability. You agree that Network Solutions may terminate the COS at any time (and at any stage in the process), without liability to either Seller or Buyer, if, at any time,: (1) the Buyer or Seller fails to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement; (2) Network Solutions believes the Buyer is or may be using a stolen or unauthorized credit card; (3) Network Solutions believes the Buyer or Seller may be acting in fraudulent or unauthorized manner, a manner that may subject Network Solutions to a claim by a third party, or otherwise in a manner that violates any law, Network Solutions policy, this Agreement, or any right of a third party; or (4) Network Solutions receives a complaint from a third party that the Seller or the Buyer is violating any law, Network Solutions policy, this Agreement, or any right of a third party. In the event Network Solutions terminates the COS as provided herein, Network Solutions shall have no liability to the Buyer or the Seller for such termination, and Network Solutions shall be permitted, but not obligated, to transfer the Domain Name back to the Seller as registrant and to return to the Buyer any of the Buyer’s funds still in Network Solutions’ possession.
8. Terms for the Buyer. The following additional terms apply only to the Buyer. The Buyer agrees to the following additional terms in this Section:
- COS Offer Fee; Non-Refundable; Exceptions. You will use the COS to make an offer via email to a Seller to pay to the Seller the offer price selected by you (the “Offer Price”) in exchange for the Seller’s agreement to transfer the Domain Name to you through the COS. If your offer exceeds $25,000, you are required to use our Certified Offer Service PLUS and we will contact you by phone to confirm your offer amount. You will pay the non-refundable COS offer fee (the “Offer Fee”) set forth on our Website at the time you make your offer. This Offer Fee will be paid by you via your credit card and is non-refundable regardless of whether or not your offer is accepted by the Seller or the Domain Name is transferred
to you (but we will not charge you the fee if it is not possible to send your offer because, for example, there is no email listed for the Seller in the WHOIS database). - Nature of Your Offer and Any Counter-Offers. We will send your offer via email to the email address of the administrative contact of the registrant as reflected in the WHOIS database of the registrar currently sponsoring the Domain Name. If you are using Certified Offer Service PLUS, we will contact the administrative contact initially by telephone to convey your offer. You acknowledge that the information in the WHOIS database might not be accurate and that we have no obligation to and will not confirm the accuracy of any WHOIS information. Your offer will remain valid and binding on you for a period of ten (10) calendar days (fourteen (14) calendar days if you are using Certified Offer Service PLUS) from the date of your offer, unless before then the transaction is terminated by Network Solutions, or the Seller accepts or rejects your offer (the “Offer Period”). You may not and will not attempt to revoke your offer during the Offer Period. Your offer will automatically terminate upon expiration of the Offer Period. If the Seller makes a counter-offer, we will send you an email, or contact you by telephone if you are using Certified Offer Service PLUS, containing the Seller’s counter-offer price (or minimal acceptable price) (the “Seller Counter Price”), which you may accept, reject or to which you may make a counter-offer within ten (10) calendar days (fourteen (14) calendar days if you are using our Certified Offer Service PLUS) from the date of the Seller’s counter-offer, unless the Seller’s counter-offer has been terminated (the “Seller Counter Period”). If you make a counter-offer to the Seller during the Seller Counter Period, we will convey your counter-offer price (the “Buyer Counter Price”) to the administrative contact of record as described above. Your counter-offer serves as a rejection of the Seller’s counter-offer. Additionally, your counter-offer will remain valid and binding on you for a period of ten (10) calendar days (fourteen (14) calendar days if you are using Certified Offer Service PLUS) from the date of your counter-offer, unless the transaction is terminated by Network Solutions, or the Seller accepts or rejects your counter-offer (the “Buyer Counter Period”). You may not and will not attempt to revoke your counter-offer during the Buyer Counter Period. Your counter-offer will automatically terminate upon expiration of the Buyer Counter Period.
- Acceptance of Offer or Counter-Offer; Process. For transactions up to and including $4,999.99, if the Seller accepts either your offer during the Offer Period or your counter-offer during the Buyer Counter Period, or if you accept the Seller’s counter-offer during the Seller Counter Period, we will notify you via email, and: (1) You will immediately pay to Network Solutions, and Network Solutions is authorized to charge your credit card in the amount of (i) the Offer Price, Seller Counter Price, or Buyer Counter Price, as applicable, and (ii) the transaction fee (the “Transaction Fee”) set forth on our Website at the time you make the offer (collectively, the “Total Price”); and (2) You will complete, sign and return to Network Solutions, in the time-frame specified by Network Solutions, any and all paperwork sent to you by us to complete the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. For transactions totaling $5,000 or greater, if the Seller accepts either your offer during the Offer Period or your counter-offer during the Buyer Counter Period, or if you accept the Seller’s counter-offer during the Seller Counter Period, we will notify you via email, and your payment is required in the form of a wire transfer, with the instructions for such payment contained in the e-mail that we will send to you. If you are using Certified Offer Service PLUS, we will contact you by telephone to provide you with the information that you will need to make payment of the Total Price by wire transfer. Upon fulfillment of your obligations set forth above, Network Solutions will initiate a transfer of the sponsorship of the Domain Name to Network Solutions as registrar (with the Seller as registrant of the Domain Name), if the Domain Name is not then-currently sponsored by Network Solutions as registrar, or will transfer the Domain Name into a new account for the Seller. Once the domain name is sponsored by Network Solutions as registrar and in a new account for the Seller, the Domain Name will be placed in a “lock” status. Network Solutions will then change the registrant of the Domain Name to the Buyer (or to the person or entity directed by the Buyer). After any successful change of registrant as contemplated herein, Network Solutions will pay to the Seller (as listed in the WHOIS database for the Domain Name at issue), from the funds received by the Buyer, the Offer Price, Seller Counter Price, or Buyer Counter Price, as applicable. In the case of an offer made using Certified Offer Service PLUS, Network Solutions shall charge the Seller a Seller’s Transaction Fee and deduct the Seller’s Transaction Fee from the Buyer’s payment before sending the funds to the Seller.
- Rejection or Termination of Offer or Counter-Offer. If the Seller (i) rejects your offer without making a counter-offer, (ii) fails to respond to your offer during the Offer Period, (iii) rejects your counter-offer, or (iv) fails to respond to your counter-offer during the Buyer Counter Period, the COS will immediately terminate. If you reject a counter-offer made by the Seller or fail to respond to a counter-offer during the Seller Counter Period, the COS will immediately terminate.
- 60-Day No Transfer Requirement. For a period of sixty (60) days following any successful transfer of the Domain Name, you agree not transfer or attempt to transfer the Domain Name to another person or to another registrar, and Network Solutions is authorized to deny any request for such a transfer.
- Domain Name Transfer and Registration Subject to Service Agreement. Through the COS, you are applying to transfer and register the Domain Name to the Buyer with Network Solutions as the sponsoring registrar. Any successful transfer and subsequent registration of the Domain Name to the Buyer is governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement (which includes the General Terms and Conditions and the Schedules applicable to domain name registrations and registrant name changes).
- Disclosure of Buyer Information. During the transaction contemplated by the COS, we will not disclose your identity to the Seller or any third party, unless the COS is terminated by Network Solutions as a result of a third party claim concerning the COS, the Domain Name, or the Seller or Buyer, or as a result of your failure to fulfill any of your obligations under this Agreement to us or to the Seller, or as a result of a claim by the Seller that you have not fulfilled your obligations under this Agreement. Additionally, after the completion of any Domain Name transfer hereunder, we are permitted but not obligated to disclose your identity and contact information to the Seller or as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
- Value Assessment. You acknowledge and agree that the Value Assessment Tool available as part of the COS is designed to be a helpful tool only and that it is your responsibility to determine the offer price (or counter-offer price) that is appropriate for you and the Domain Name in question.
- Tax Consequences. You agree that you are responsible for complying with all tax filings, certifications, notices, rules and regulations, arising out of your actions as a Buyer through the COS, including the payment of any sales, use, value-added or other taxes, assessed or due in connection with your payment of the Offer Price, Seller Counter Price or Buyer Counter Price, as applicable, to the Seller (through Network Sol
utions) and the filing of any required forms or returns with the appropriate authorities in connection therewith. - Suspension of Your Account; Transfer of Domain Name to Network Solutions. In addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, Network Solutions shall have the right, but not the obligation, to (i) suspend your account with Network Solutions indefinitely (which will suspend all other services you may have with us in your account) until payment is received by you in accordance with your obligations under this Schedule, and (ii) transfer the Domain Name to Network Solutions as registrant if you do not make required payments under this Schedule within three (3) business days after notice is sent via email to you from Network Solutions that such payment is owed.
- Seller Request to Reopen Offer. If we receive a request from the Seller that you reopen an offer under the COS (a “Reopen Request”), we may, but will not be obligated to, notify you of the Reopen Request. If you receive such a request from us, and you wish to submit another offer to the Seller through the COS, any such offer by you shall be treated as an initial offer through the COS, starting anew the COS process, and that offer and all subsequent counter-offers, if any, shall be governed accordingly by the terms and conditions of the Agreement (which includes but is not limited to this Schedule).
9. Terms for the Seller. The following additional terms apply only to the Seller. The Seller agrees to the following additional terms in this Section:
- Acceptance of Offer or Counter-Offer; Process. You may accept, reject or make a counter-offer (as described below) to the Buyer’s offer so long as the offer has not been terminated (the “Offer Period”). If you accept the Buyer’s offer during the Offer Period, Network Solutions will inform the Buyer of your acceptance via email (or if using Certified Offer Service PLUS, by telephone), and will attempt to obtain funds from the Buyer via credit card or wire transfer (for transactions of $5,000 or more) to pay the offer price (the “Offer Price”) and Network Solutions’ Transaction Fee. If you make a counter-offer to the Buyer and the counter-offer is accepted by the Buyer, Network Solutions will inform you via email or by telephone, of the Buyer’s acceptance of the counter-offer, and Network Solutions will attempt to obtain funds from the Buyer via credit card or wire transfer (for transactions of $5,000 or more) to pay the counter-offer price (sometimes referred to as the minimum acceptable price) (the “Seller Counter Price”) and Network Solutions’ Transaction Fee. The Buyer might not accept your counter-offer, but might instead make a counter-offer to you. In that case, you may accept or reject the Buyer’s counter-offer so long as the Buyer’s counter-offer has not been terminated (the “Buyer Counter Period”). If you accept the Buyer’s counter-offer, if any, within the Buyer Counter Period, Network Solutions will inform the Buyer of your acceptance via email or by telephone, and will attempt to obtain funds from the Buyer via credit card or wire transfer (for transactions of $5,000 or more)to pay the Buyer’s counter-offer price (the “Buyer Counter Price”) and Network Solutions’ Transaction Fee. You acknowledge and agree that in any case Network Solutions must first obtain sufficient funds from the Buyer before a transaction can be completed, and that failure of the Buyer to deposit sufficient funds with Network Solutions shall be grounds for Network Solutions to terminate the COS. After sufficient funds have been obtained from the Buyer, Network Solutions will attempt to transfer the Domain Name to a new account with Network Solutions where you will still be the registrant. If the Domain Name is being sponsored by another registrar, Network Solutions will first initiate a transfer of the Domain Name to Network Solutions as registrar. Once the Domain Name is registered with Network Solutions as registrar and in a new account with you as the registrant, Network Solutions will change the registrant of the Domain Name to the Buyer (or as directed by the Buyer). After any successful change of registrant as contemplated herein, Network Solutions will pay to the Seller (as listed in the WHOIS database for the Domain Name at issue), from the funds received by the Buyer, the Offer Price, Seller Counter Price, or Buyer Counter Price, as applicable. In the case of an offer made using Certified Offer Service PLUS, Network Solutions shall also deduct a Seller’s Transaction Fee before sending the funds to the Seller. The amount of the Transaction Fee charged to the Seller is published on our Website. If an offer or counter-offer is accepted, you will properly respond to and complete any and all emails and/or documentation sent to you from Network Solutions or your current registrar concerning the transfer of your domain name, and otherwise take all steps necessary, to effect the transfer of the Domain Name to Network Solutions as registrar (where the Domain Name is sponsored by another registrar) and to the Buyer as registrant. Upon fulfillment of your obligations set forth above, and the deposit of sufficient funds by the Buyer, Network Solutions will send you a check for the Buyer’s payment of the Offer Price, Seller Counter Price, or Buyer Counter Price, as applicable less the Seller’s Transaction Fee.
- Nature of Your Counter-Offer. We will send your counter-offer, if any, via email, or via telephone, to the Buyer at the email address or phone number provided by the Buyer. Your counter-offer serves as a rejection of the Buyer’s offer. You acknowledge and agree that if the email address provided by the Buyer is not accurate or valid, the counter-offer will not reach the Buyer. If you are using Certified Offer Service PLUS we will make every attempt to reach the Buyer either by email, phone or regular mail. Your counter-offer will remain valid and binding on you for a period of ten (10) calendar days (fourteen (14) calendar days if you are using Certified Offer Service PLUS) from the date of your counter-offer, unless before then the transaction is terminated by Network Solutions, or the Buyer accepts, rejects or makes a counter-offer to your counter-offer (the “Seller Counter Period”). You may not and will not attempt to revoke your counter-offer during the Seller Counter Period. Your counter-offer will automatically terminate upon expiration of the Seller Counter Period.
- No Changes After Acceptance or Counter-Offer. You will not attempt to transfer or change the registrant for the Domain Name after accepting an offer or Buyer counter-offer, or after making a counter-offer, except as instructed by Network Solutions or if notified by Network Solutions that the Seller Counter Period has expired.
- Rejection or Termination of Counter-Offer. If the Buyer rejects your counter-offer or fails to respond to your counter-offer during the Seller Counter Period, the COS will immediately terminate.
- Additional Seller Representations and Warranties. You represent and warrant that as of the time you accept an offer or a Buyer counter-offer, or make a counter-offer, you are the current registrant of the Domain Name (or the current registrant’s authorized agent) with full authority to enter into this agreement and to sell and transfer the Domain Name to the Buyer as contemplated herein, and that you have not and will not do anything to change the registrant or current registrar of the Domain Name except as instructed by Network Solutions or if notified by Network Solutions that the Seller Counter Period has expired.
- Change of Registrar, Domain Name Registration, and Registrant Name Change Subject to Service Agreement. Through the COS, you are applying to transfer, if applicable, and register the Domain Name with Network Solutions as registrar, and to then transfer the Domain Name to the Buyer with Network Solutions as the sponsoring registrar. Any successf
ul change of registrar and registration of the Domain Name with Network Solutions, and transfer and subsequent registration of the Domain Name to the Buyer is governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement (which includes the General Terms and Conditions and the Schedules applicable to domain name registrations, change of registrar, and registrant name changes). - Disclosure of Buyer Information. During the transaction contemplated by the COS, we will not disclose the identity of the Buyer except as otherwise permitted in this Agreement.
- Tax Consequences. You agree that you are responsible for complying with all tax filings, certifications, notices, rules and regulations, arising out of your actions as a Seller through the COS, including the payment of any sales, use, value-added or other taxes, assessed or due in connection with your receipt of payment of the Offer Price, Seller Counter Price, or Buyer Counter Price, as applicable, from the Buyer (through Network Solutions) and the filing of any required forms or returns with the appropriate authorities in connection therewith.
- Seller Request to Reopen Offer. We may, but shall not be obligated to, provide you with the opportunity to request through us that a Buyer reopen an offer for the Domain Name. In the event a Buyer does in fact reopen an offer, such an offer will be treated as an initial offer under the terms of the COS, starting anew the COS process, and that offer and all subsequent counter-offers, if any, shall be governed accordingly by the terms and conditions of the Agreement (which includes but is not limited to this Schedule).
10. Terms Between Buyer and Seller. The following terms and conditions apply between the Buyer and Seller (unless defined in this Section, capitalized terms shall have the meaning assigned to them elsewhere in this Schedule):
- Buyer’s Rights and Obligations to Seller. By making an offer or counter-offer through the COS, the Buyer offers to pay to the Seller (through Network Solutions) the offer price or Buyer Counter Price conveyed by email or by telephone to the Seller by Network Solutions through the COS in exchange for the Seller’s agreement to transfer the Domain Name to the Buyer. The Buyer further agrees to keep the Buyer’s offer and any Buyer counter-offer, if any, open and valid for a period of ten (10) calendar days (fourteen (14) calendar days if you are using Certified Offer Service PLUS) from the date of the offer or counter-offer, unless the offer or counter-offer is accepted or rejected sooner (each an “Offer Acceptance Period”). If the offer or Buyer counter-offer is accepted by the Seller within the Offer Acceptance Period in the manner provided for through the COS, or if the Seller makes a counter-offer which is accepted by the Buyer within the Counter-Offer Acceptance Period (defined below) in the manner provided for through the COS, the Buyer agrees to pay the Seller the offer price, Seller Counter Price, or Buyer Counter price, as applicable, by depositing sufficient funds via credit card with Network Solutions or by making payment by wire transfer (for transactions of $5,000 or more) to Network Solutions, to cover the offer price, Seller Counter Price, or Buyer Counter price, as applicable, and any Transaction Fee owed by the Buyer to Network Solutions, and to take all other steps described in the COS process and the agreement between Buyer and Network Solutions to permit completion of the transaction. Buyer agrees that in addition to Seller’s other rights and remedies, Seller shall be permitted to seek a re-transfer of the Domain Name to Seller if at any time during or after the transaction provided for through the COS, Buyer fails to deposit sufficient funds or the Buyer’s funds are determined to be insufficient to pay the payments for which the Buyer is obligated under the terms of this Schedule, and Buyer hereby consents to any such re-transfer.
- Seller’s Rights and Obligations to Buyer. By accepting an offer or Buyer counter-offer within the Offer Acceptance Period, or making a counter-offer through the COS that is accepted by the Buyer during the Counter-Offer Acceptance Period (defined below), in either case in the manner provided for through the COS, the Seller agrees to transfer the Domain Name to the Buyer (or the Buyer’s designee) in exchange for the Buyer’s agreement to pay the Seller and fulfill the Buyer’s other obligations as set forth in 10A above. The Seller further agrees to keep the Seller’s counter-offer, if any, open and valid for a period of ten (10) days (fourteen (14) calendar days if you are using Certified Offer Service PLUS) from the date of the counter-offer, unless the counter-offer is accepted or rejected sooner (the “Counter-Offer Acceptance Period”). If the Seller accepts the Buyer’s offer or counter-offer, or the Buyer accepts the Seller’s counter-offer, Seller further agrees to fulfill its obligations described in the COS process and the agreement between Seller and Network Solutions to permit completion of the transaction, including agreeing to allow Network Solutions to deduct the amount of the Seller’s Transaction Fee from Buyer’s payment. The Seller shall provide the Buyer, upon request by the Buyer, with the information necessary for the Buyer to fulfill its obligations, if any, related to tax filings and/or certifications in connection with the payment being made to Seller hereunder.
- Representations of the Parties to One Another. The Seller (or the person acting on behalf of the Seller) represents and warrants to the Buyer, and the Buyer (or the person acting on behalf of the Buyer) represents and warrants to the Seller, that he/she/it is authorized to agree to the terms set forth in this Schedule and to do all things necessary to complete the transaction contemplated by the COS, and that he/she/it will take all steps necessary to fulfill his/her/its obligations to the other party and to Network Solutions.

Your use of these Additional Services may be subject to a separate application and/or approval process and you reaching separate agreements with us or with third parties.

Some of these separate agreements may require you to pay fees in addition to the fees that you pay us for the Web Hosting Services.

The terms of any such relationship shall be between you and the financial institution and will not necessarily reflect or incorporate terms of any agreements we may have with the institution.

During these research activities, Network Solutions may contact you via email with information that will require a response. Response will be necessary for the project to move forward in a timely manner. In these situations, if a response is not received from the client for more than 60 days, the project is considered “abandoned” and payment is surrendered in full. Network Solutions will not conduct any type of intellectual property review or analysis of recommended keyword phrases and will further conduct no review of any third party rights to recommended keyword phrases. You agree it is entirely your responsibility and obligation to conduct an analysis of any recommended keyword phrases to determine whether any other party may have any type of rights to the recommended keyword phrases. Network Solutions will not be held liable for any claims arising out of your choice or lack thereof of recommended keyword phrases. You agree that you assume all risks for trademark infringement, brand infringement, intellectual property infringement or other claims based on your choice of keyword phrases. Any tutorial that is provided on a 30-minute or 60-minute basis as a part of the Online Marketing Services is for information purposes only. These tutorials are one time only and if the tutorial is cut short for any reason by you prior to the end of the 30-minute or 60-minute session no continuation of the tutorial is permitted. Network Solutions has the right to terminate the tutorial at the end of either the 30-minute or 60-minute session.

7. Changes and Alterations to Customer Websites. In order to keep your website ranking in top search engine or online positions or to develop, create and build links we prefer to have full access (read/write permissions) to your Website content as found on your Website server. This access may be provided in the form of FTP login credentials, or access credentials to a Content Management System (CMS) used on your Website. This will allow us to make any necessary changes to your site to optimize your website for search engine or online directory rankings. Ongoing access may be required if the level of service you have purchased includes regular optimization of your website over time. You agree to allow Network Solutions to perform a complete analysis of your site, including, but not limited to, its code, text and links. You further agree that Network Solutions may make adjustments as needed to enable the site, code, text or links to be located by search engines. Network Solutions will make an effort to work with you to notify you of any modifications, adjustments or additions that are made to your site during this process.
We must have the ability to optimize the layout and keyword density of your web pages. If you plan to make any significant design changes to your site within six months of your Online Marketing Services (optimization) order, you must notify Network Solutions before work commences. If Network Solutions is not notified, a charge may be applied for any update of custom pages that you make. In the event that we are not provided full FTP or CMS access to the Website server, we will send you the content and any changes and you will be fully responsible for uploading such content and changes to your Website.
8. Feedback. Customer agrees to provide via email to Network Solutions approval of the keyword phrase list within a reasonable period of time (as determined by Network Solutions in its sole discretion and indicated to you in such email).

You understand and agree that your failure to respond to the email that contains the recommended keyword phrase list within the time period outlined in the email is considered an approval of the recommended keyword phrase list thereby giving Network Solutions the authority to submit and optimize your site with such keyword phrase(s) contained on the list.
9. Links. You give Network Solutions full authority and rights to your website in order to develop appropriate links, including but not limited to, the text, content and placement of links on your site. You give Network Solutions the right to establish an email account on your behalf for the purpose of communicating with third parties in order to place links to your site on third party sites. You also give Network Solutions the full authority to contact third parties by any means to place links on third party sites. Customer agrees that links that are established by use of the Services on third party sites may be removed or deleted by third parties. It is Network Solutions intention when it places links on third party sites for those links to be permanently placed on such third party sites, but Network Solutions can not control the actions of third parties that may remove or delete a link that Network Solutions has placed. Customer expressly agrees that Network Solutions has no liability and no responsibility for links to a Customer’s site that are removed or deleted by third parties on third party sites.

As a part of the press release service for Online Marketing Services you agree to work with Network Solutions, answer any questionnaires that may be sent to you regarding your site and also permit a full analysis of your site in order for a press release to be written. Upon finalization of the press release, Network Solutions will submit the press release to certain major internet news sites and will work to distribute the press release through third parties. The press release service is dependent on various third parties and Network Solutions is not in any way responsible for the failure of these third parties to perform in their responsibilities.
11. Refunds, Limitations and Guarantees.
11.1 Due to the nature of online marketing, Network Solutions cannot offer guarantees with its Online Marketing Services or nsMarketing™ Services and, as such, all payments are nonrefundable.
11.2 For cretain applicable optimization packages, Network Solutions will work to have your website listed in top ten listings across multiple search engines. Most engines will index your site in about three (3) months, but it takes time to gain popularity and ranking. The search engines included are: AOL , AlltheWeb , AltaVista, Ask.com (formerly known as AskJeeves.com), Google , Hotbot , Lycos , Bing.com (MSN), Netscape , and Yahoo! . Your selection of keyword phrases that are competitive phrases may impact the ability for your Website to acquire top listings in all or some search engines. The web is very unpredictable and dynamic. In no event will Network Solutions will be liable for any damages, for any cause, arising from provided services, including any lost profit, lost savings, or other incidental or consequential damages, even if another party has advised Network Solutions of the possibility of such damages, or for any claim.
11.3 Any Website downtime of one day or more will impact your services as search engines may remove your listing if they cannot find your site. Cloning your Website after the promotion has been uploaded will adversely impact your Website’s ability to acquire top listings in search engines because search engines penalize and ban sites for this practice. Any website that contains adult content is not eligible for Online Marketing Services.
You may need to use multiple domains for commonly misspelled versions of your domain name, or for other good domain names that you do not want your competitors to get. The only way to point multiple domains to the same website in a search engine friendly manner is through a 301 redirect. If you have purchased multiple domains and simply redirect them to the same IP address (website) without using a 301 redirect, this may be considered by some search engines to be spam because you’re trying to index multiple website domain names that point to the same physical content on the server. Doing this will risk a duplicate content penalty in some search engines.
11. 4. From a search engine perspective, 301 redirects are the only acceptable way to redirect URLs. If Network Solutions finds that you are not using a 301 redirect to accomplish this task, your Website may not be able to acquire top listings in search engines. Search engines will index only your site’s main URL, but will transfer link popularity from the additional domains to the main one.
11.5 Network Solutions’ nsMarketing™ Services do not include the paid submission fees that some search engines charge for inclusion. We are not affiliated with these submission services in any way. You may opt to pay these fees directly to the search engine for inclusion.
11.6 The press release service is not available for certain types of sites including pharmacy sites, gambling sites and adult sites. Network Solutions reserves the right to decline any or all services to any site based upon site content.
11. 7 In order for Network Solutions to provide the best possible search engine optimization services, we need to work together as a team. You agree that you will let us know if you make any changes to your website pages, especially the homepage. As the entrance to your site, this page is critical. You agree to inform us of any substantial edits or changes to your site within two days. Search engine optimization fees to repair altered pages are billed at $120 per hour.
11.8 For each press release to be generated and distributed you must initiate the Press Release Service by completing a press release questionnaire sent to you via email. If you do not provide a completed questionnaire within one year of purchasing the service, your Press Release Service will expire. If you do not initiate the Press Release Service with a completed questionnaire and cancel the Press Release Service prior to expiration, you may be eligible for a 100% refund of your Press Release Service payment. If you do not initiate the Press Release Service with a completed questionnaire and cancel the service after expiration, you may be eligible for a 50% refund on the individual retail price (at the time of purchase) of your unused press releases. We will refund all charges to the same form of billing you used for your purchase of the Press Release Service. If you have initiated the Press Release Service by completing the questionnaire at any time, all payments on that press release are non-refundable. An expired Press Release Service may be honored for fulfillment at the discretion of Network Solutions.
11.9 Network Solutions may at any time terminate the Online Marketing Services, terminate this Agreement or cancel any online marketing. Network Solutions will notify Customer by email of any such termination or cancellation which shall be effective immediately. Upon cancellation or termination Customer shall remain liable for any amounts due through the date of such cancellation or termination. Should you desire to cancel Online Marketing Services, you must call Network Solutions at 877.438.8599 at least seven (7) business days prior to the renewal of your existing service. E-mail or any other forms of attempted cancellation are not valid. Cancellation of Online Marketing Services will occur within 48 hours of receipt of request. Cancellations may be subject to a cancellation fee. Cancellation requests made after renewal of the specific Online Marketing Service(s) will be valid only at the end of the then current 30-day billing cycle, at which time such Online Marketing Service(s) will be canceled. Upon cancellation of your Online Marketing Service(s), Network Solutions will not provide any refunds to you.
12. Time Constraints. Unless otherwise specified in writing by Network Solutions, all projects will be considered completed upon delivery of the completion notification email. Any additional work will be considered out of the scope of the initial project and subject to hourly charges.
13. Set-up Fees. There are set-up fees related to the Services that are non-refundable. These and other set-up fees are required as Network Solutions often must pay for services, software, hardware or labor up front as soon as a Customer purchases the Services.
14. Additional Fees. Customer agrees that any additional assistance with the Services will be billed by Network Solutions to the Customer at the rate of $120/hour. Customer also agrees to pay $120/hour for any changes, modifications, updates, and optimization alterations that exceed the scope of the project.

as a part of this package Network Solutions will offer applications and other related functionality that will generate or recommend keyword phrases that the Customer may consider using. Customer agrees not to abuse such applications by submitting multiple repeated requests. Network Solutions reserves the right to terminate, suspend, revoke or cancel access to these and other applications if the Customer abuses them in any way. Customer also acknowledges and agrees that Network Solutions or any of its partners do not perform any type of intellectual property search or screen on any recommended keyword phrases. Consequently, Customer accepts that it assumes all risk and liability for using recommended keyword phrases that are generated through provided applications or are otherwise recommended by Network Solutions. Network Solutions is not responsible for any claims by any parties involving Customer’s use of recommended keywords that may be in violation of any third party’s rights (including intellectual property rights). Customer expressly authorizes Network Solutions to submit the Customer’s site and information related to such site to search engines and/or directories and to set the Customer’s site for automatic re-submission to search engines and/or directories at a frequency determined by Customer updates to their information. If the submission fails due to errors in the customer’s information, the Customer assumes the responsibility for correcting their information. Customer expressly understands that the list of search engines and directories to which Network Solutions submits Customer’s site and information related to such site may change at any time and therefore Customer expressly authorizes Network Solutions to change search engines and/or directories for submission purposes when the need may arise. From time to time, Network Solutions may make certain search engine or online directory ranking reports available to a Customer as part of this service. Such reports may contain inaccurate or incomplete information and such reports may also not contain updated information. Network Solutions is not responsible for any errors, omissions or other issues that may arise from such reports or the submission of Customer’s site to any search engine or directory. If Customer does not want Network Solutions to submit the Customer’s site for any reason, Customer must notify Network Solutions by telephone and email. For any Local Search Visibility package(s), Customers on monthly payment terms will be billed the monthly fee each month in advance. This method of billing will apply to all Customers whether or not a Customer’s Website is live.

As part of the migration services you will cooperate and Network Solutions to establish a “cut-off date” for the migration process for which all tasks and activity are to be discontinued on the old hosting package. Any changes made to the old hosting package after the cutoff date will not be migrated to the new package. During migration any online transactions and/or changes to the old hosting package will be not migrated. Moreover, there may be an outage and/or downtime of the customer’s website, database and/or hosting account during the migration and subsequent verification. If the migration involves an active website, any transactions that are placed during this migration process will not be migrated. Once the migration is complete the customer will be required to verify that the migration was successful.
For DNS Changes to be made in association with any such hosting migration:
- If you are using external DNS, you acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to update the zone records.
- You further acknowledge and agree that you may need to update your glue records (Name Server IP address) at the registry level by working with your respective registrar. However, if the DNS and Domain is registered at Network Solutions, then you acknowledge and agree that Network Solutions can make any needed changes to your zone records and glue records.

NEW gTLD PRE-REGISTRATION, SUNRISE, LANDRUSH AND GENERAL AVAILABILITY SERVICES ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
By registering or otherwise submitting an application with Network Solutions (along with any and/or all parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns thereof, referred to “Registrar”, “we”, “us” and/or “our”) to pre-register a new generic top-level domain name (a “gTLD”) you (“Registrant”, “you”, and/or “your”) certify that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions below (the “Terms and Conditions”) as well as all terms and conditions of our applicable Services Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time, which is hereby incorporat
ed in full (the Terms and Conditions and the Services Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the “Agreement”).
1. Services. The Agreement explains our obligations to you, and explains your obligations to us regarding your use of our domain name pre-registration services (the “Services”). By submitting a pre-registration or pre-reservation request (a “Domain Request”), you acknowledge that you have read and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions of the Agreement, as amended from time to time, and to any other pertinent rules or policies that are or may be published by Registrar and/or the registry operating and/or otherwise managing the applicable gTLD (the “Registry”). You further agree to utilize the Services in full compliance with our Acceptable Use Policy.
2. Eligibility Requirements. Registrant must meet requirements for certain new top level domain during any of the pre-registration or registration phases (“Eligibility Requirements and/or “Membership Requirements”). You represent and warrant that every registration you are applying for in the applicable gTLD satisfies stated requirements for those applicable gTLDs. Such requirements established by the applicable Registry and are more fully described on the applicable Registry website.
3. Registration Process. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility, through the registration process for a pre-registered domain name (and, if applicable, as required subsequent to your application), to provide the information necessary to satisfy associated Registry requirements for a generic top level domain. Required supporting documentation may include but not be limited to community, member and/or trademark holder to support Registry specific eligibility requirements. Failure by you to satisfy these requirements (whichever is applicable) may result in, among other things, (a) the domain name registration or pre-registration application(s) being rejected by Registrar (b) the domain name(s) being placed on “hold” by Registrar and/or the associated Registry, and/or (c) the domain name(s) being deleted by Registrar and/or the Registry. Neither Registrar nor the Registry shall be liable to you for any actions or inactions resulting from your failure to provide all required information to satisfy the Eligibility Requirements or Membership Requirements at the time of registration or pre-registration (or, where applicable, subsequent to registration), and neither shall have any obligation to request or attempt to obtain from you additional information to establish your compliance with the specific Registry Eligibility Requirements or Membership Requirements, even if the need for such information is known by them. Moreover, you acknowledge that in order for any new gTLD through Registrar to resolve on the Internet you must have successfully registered the domain and meet all applicable obligations associated with each applicable Registry. Additionally, in order for you to utilize other Registrar services in conjunction with a domain name you must have successfully registered the domain and meet all applicable obligations associated with such gTLD.
4. Pre-Registration. When you submit a Domain Request, you are authorizing us to attempt to obtain a domain name in the named gTLD (as described on our Website) for you if and when the Registry launches its Sunrise, Landrush and General Availability period. When each phase opens, Registrar will likely submit all pre-registration requests during the Sunrise, Landrush or General Availability periods and the Registry will likely review all proposed registration requests. Please note some domain name requests may not be allocated on a first come, first serve basis during the Sunrise or Landrush Periods. In addition, you agree to be bound by all policies, terms, and conditions of the initial launch of these gTLDs. This information may be found on the applicable Registry’s website.
You acknowledge that neither the Registry nor Registrar has any liability of any kind for any loss or liability resulting from the proceedings and processes relating to the Pre-Registration, Sunrise period or the Landrush period, including, without limitation: (a) the ability or inability of you and/or another registrant to register a domain name during these periods, and (b) the results of any dispute over a Sunrise, Landrush or other registration.
5. Sunrise. Sunrise is created to protect trademark holders, pre-existing exact match domain holders, and to avoid abusive registrations. During the Sunrise period, the registry system may accept different types of Sunrise applications. Either all or a portion of the Sunrise periods are reserved for members of the Trademark Clearinghouse provided by ICANN. Please see the applicable Registry’s website for that Registry’s rules that apply to the Sunrise period. You acknowledge that Registry or its designee shall decide at its own discretion whether any documentation or information you submit verifies your right to register a desired domain name.
Most, if not all, gTLDs Sunrise applications must possess a registered trademark that meets certain criteria, and must attest to their membership in the Trademark Clearinghouse by providing a Signed Mark Data File (SMD) for each mark. Most, if not all, gTLDs Sunrise registrations may not be awarded until (a) the prospective registrant has provided the SMD file completed any applicable membership or community requirements and his or her contact information has been confirmed; and (b) completed and duly executed any supporting documentation that may be required for the Sunrise phase required by the applicable Registry Operator. Most, if not all, gTLDs domain names awarded during Sunrise may not be operable (resolve in the DNS) and available for your use until the “create-date” chosen by the applicable Registry.
6. Landrush. The registration period for registrants that meet the applicable qualification as defined by each Registry in order to participate in Landrush. Applications for competing names may go to auction at the end of the Landrush period. Landrush registrations may not be awarded unless and until, after (a) the close of the Landrush phase, (b) end of Auction Period, or (c) until Registry deems the Landrush phase period closed. Domain names awarded during Landrush may not be operable (resolve in the DNS) and available for your use until the “create-date” determined by the applicable Registry Operator. Please note that, pursuant to applicable Registry rules, domain names may not be awarded on a first-come first-served basis during the non-TMCH Sunrise and Landrush periods though such an award may be possible under certain auction rules. Please see the applicable Registry’s website for that Registry’s rules that apply to the Landrush period. After Sunrise and before Landrush, there may be a Quiet Period during which each Registry will review Sunrise applications.
7. Early Access Program. Some Registries may offer an Early Access Program (EAP) after Sunrise and in lieu of a Landrush phase. During EAP, an early access fee is charged in addition to the registration fee and application fee (as further described below), which may vary based on categorization of the Domain Name (“Domain Name Rating”). EAP fees are set by the Registry and will typically descend each subsequent day during the EAP. We reserve the right to not participate in any EAP with respect to your Domain Request or alternatively submit your Domain Request on the last day of the EAP.
8. General Availability. For Registries forgoing Landrush and not offering an EAP or other similar program, Domain Requests not rejected at Sunrise or otherwise, shall be submitted at the beginning of the General Availability phase for the applicable Registry.
9. Validation Process. You agree that we shall have no liability to you or other third parties for anything related to the applicable Registry’s validation process for a proposed registrati
on request that we have submitted and is pending final approval by the applicable Registry. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to ensure that you meet all of the requirements stated by the Registry for your proposed Domain Requests. You agree that we are not responsible or liable in any way if any of your Domain Requests are rejected for any reason, including but not limited to, the Registry’s failure or inability to contact you or your failure to respond to Registry’s request for supporting documentation during the validation process.
10. Transfer Lock. Following award of a Sunrise, Landrush, or General Availability domain name, the name will be on transfer lock with the Registrar for at least sixty (60) days.
11. Charges. Charges and fees for Domain Requests are outlined on our website at the time you submit a Domain Request. By submitting a Domain Request, you authorize us to charge you immediately for all application and registration fees. Domain Requests that are rejected by Registry for any reason will still be charged an application fee that will NOT be refunded to you. You will however be refunded the registration fee charged during pre-registration if you are not awarded the requested domain name. Any applicable fees not charged when you submit your Domain Request will be charged to your credit card once your Domain Request is accepted and processed by the associated Registry. Additionally, successful domain registration requests are subject to the terms of the Agreement as well as our Registrant Agreement and/or any other terms and conditions of this Agreement related to domain name registrations.
12. Non-Uniform Renewal Registration and Renewal Pricing. Some Registries, such as Donuts Inc., will have non-uniform renewal registration pricing such that the registration fee for a domain name registration renewal may differ from other domain names in the same or other Registry gTLDs (e.g., renewal registration Fee is $7 for one domain name and $13 for a different domain name).
13. Trademark Clearinghouse Notifications and Intellectual Property.

SCHEDULE II TO NETWORK SOLUTIONS SERVICE AGREEMENT
TERMS APPLICABLE TO THE WEBLOCK SERVICE
The terms in this Schedule apply to the Network Solutions WebLock service (“Weblock” and/or the “Service”). WebLock is a service that provides additional protection to a Customer’s domain name registration.
The Service and related Service fee shall cover up to three (3) eligible domain names that you have registered with Network Solutions, whereby such eligible domains include .com, .net. .tv, .cc and .name domain names. However, during the onboarding process for the Service you must specifically identify the eligible domain names within your account that are to be covered by the Service. Any domain names not identified, even if eligible and registered with Network Solutions shall not be covered under the Service. The Service shall require a one-time set-up fee and a recurring annual fee billed in advance each year.
For your domain names covered by the WebLock Service (the “Domain Names”), all such Domain Names will be locked at the registry level which will prevent all (i) name server updates, (ii) domain transfers and (iii) domain deletions for those Domain Names. In order for any such changes to be made to a Domain Name you must follow the WebLock process. In accordance with this process, such changes to a Domain Name can only be made once the Weblock lock (the “Lock”) is removed by a pre-registered certified user (a “Certified User”) for that Domain Name. Customers must establish at least two (2) but no more than six (6) Certified Users. The same group of Certified Users will apply to all of your Domain Names covered under the WebLock Service.
As per the WebLock process, Customer must remove the Lock to make those above mentioned changes to a Domain Name. All requests to remove the Lock must be made by a Certified User via email to an email address previously provided by Network Solutions. Network Solutions will then place an outbound call to the pre-registered authorized phone number for the Certified User making the request to remove the Lock. A unique nine (9) digit PIN will be required to validate this call, whereby a specific pin will be sent to each Certified User upon their enrollment in the Service. Provided this call can be validated via this pin, the Lock will be removed from the Domain Name. In addition, a message alert will be sent to all Certified Users via email notifying them that an unlock request was made and identifying which Certified User has made the request. The preceding process will also be required to make any changes to the Certified Users or their contact information. WebLock enrolled customers will also have access to a 24/7 response team in the event of any security issues occurring with respect to any of their Domain Names. It is your responsibility to re-engage the Lock on the Domain Name, which is also done via this WebLock process.
Although WebLock shall provide for additional domain protection, you acknowledge and agree that the Service is not a guarantee or policy of insurance of any kind, and in no way will the use of or enrollment in the WebLock Service diminish or otherwise alter the other sections of this Agreement, including but not limited to, Section 7 (Exclusive Remedy) and Section 8 (Disclaimers of Warranties) above, which shall continue in full force and effect.
