:: Domain Name Registration Agreement
.TC, .VG, .MS, .GS and .TF Registration Agreement
These terms and conditions relate to all
completed registration forms for the Top Level Domains which are
accepted by the Company.
-
Applications to register. All applications must be made by
e-mail using the template provided, which should be completed but
otherwise not modified in any way.
-
Acceptance and payment. While the domain name applied for, if
in accordance with our naming policy and not already in use, will
normally be allotted to the applicant, the Company reserves the
right to refuse registration without giving reasons. Acceptance and
payment of the annual fee creates an agreement for
12 months. Applicants may be invoiced by the Company, or may choose
to have the amount collected by the Company from the applicant's
account with Visa or MasterCard.
Applicants who are concerned about the security implications of
transmission in clear may use PGP encrypted e-mail. Successful
applicants will be supplied with a password which should at all
times be used when in any communication with the Company after
registration. Applicants are responsible for their own security so
far as their password is concerned, and where the Company acts on
instructions received under password which relate in any way to this
contract, no liability will be accepted arising from wrongful use of
the password.
Successful applicants will be supplied with a password which must at
all times be used when in any communication with the Company after
registration. If desired this password may come from a previously
registered object in the Company's registration database.
-
Termination by the applicant. This agreement and the license
referred to below may be terminated at any time by the applicant by
giving the Company 28 days notice in writing (electronic e-mail
message being regarded as writing for this purpose) but no refund of
fees shall be made in this event. As a precaution against
unauthorized termination, applicants must include the password
supplied by the Company when the domain was registered.
-
Renewal. If the Company has not received notice of
termination, this agreement will be renewed at the end of the first
year (subject to the Company's termination rights set out below) and
on each subsequent anniversary, on the Terms and Conditions then in
force, and the annual fee for the time being will be collected from
the applicants credit card account.
-
License. Acceptance of your application creates a license for
you to use the domain name allotted to you for access to the
information on the Internet during the currency of this agreement,
subject to the obligations of the applicant and the termination
rights of the Company set out below
-
Obligations of the applicant.
