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. The terms and conditions set forth in Schedules A through S 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 Schedules A through S, the terms of Schedules A through S shall control with regard to the applicable Network Solutions service. IMPORTANT NOTICE CONCERNING BUNDLED SERVICES: If you purchase Network Solutions services that are sold together as a "bundled" package (e.g., you select a Web Site package that includes both a domain name and a Network Solutions Web Site, 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.

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 Web site 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 Schedules A through S. If you qualify, we may extend payment terms to you under our Business Account Credit Program. Unless otherwise specified herein or on our Web site, 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 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. 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. 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 Web site. You agree that if you use of our auto-renew service, we will attempt to renew your service approximately sixty (60) days prior to its expiration, for the same term then-currently in place for the service, and at the then-current price for the service. 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 on file for the renewal of the service(s). In any event, you are solely responsible for the credit card 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). 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 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 information with such a third-party vendor for the purpose of obtaining any update to your credit card expiration date and account number. You agree to pay all value added, 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. 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.

You agree to: (1) provide certain true, current, complete and accurate information about you as required by the application process; and (2) maintain and update according to our modification procedures the information you provided to us when purchasing our services as needed to keep it current, complete and accurate.

2.  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. 

3.  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.  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/en_US/legal/static-service-agreement.jhtml#rnca, 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.

4.  Network Solutions’s 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 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), e-mail address(es), voice telephone number and where available the fax number(s) of the technical and administrative 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. 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 e-mail (spam) or (b) enable high volume, automated, electronic processes that apply to our systems to register domain names.

5.  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 Web site: http://www.netsol.com/en_US/legal/dispute-policy.jhtml.

6.  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 Web site 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.

7.   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.

8.  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.

9.  Revocation.  You agree that we may suspend, cancel or transfer your services, including, but not limited to, domain name registration services in order to: (i) correct mistakes made by us, another registrar or the registry in registering your chosen domain name, or (ii) to resolve a dispute under our domain name dispute policy. 

10.  Survival.  In the event the Agreement or this Schedule terminates, Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 13, and 14 of this Schedule shall survive such expiration or termination.

11.  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 Web site, 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’s Web site, Network Solutions product and service offerings, third-party Web sites, 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 Web Site.  

12.  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.

13.  Domain Protect.  You agree that we may, but are not obligated to, place your domain name registration in a Domain Protect status to prevent unauthorized transfers of your domain name registration, as described on our Web site.  You acknowledge and agree that in order to transfer a domain name registration that is in a Domain Protect status, you may first have to access the account manager tool on our Web site and remove the domain name registration from Domain Protect status.        

14.  Grace Period; IP Address Changes; Renewal and Transfer of Expired Domain Names on Your Behalf. You agree that we may, but are not obligated to, allow you to renew your domain name after its expiration date has passed. You agree that after the expiration date of your domain name registration and before it is deleted or renewed, we may direct your domain name to an IP address designated by us, including, without limitation, to 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’s Web site, Network Solutions product and service offerings, third-party Web sites, 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 your 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 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”). Additionally, you will be eligible to receive a portion of the funds received by us as a result of a Direct Transfer of your domain name, as follows: (i) if you registered your domain name with Network Solutions directly through our Web site, you will be eligible to receive twenty percent (20%) of the Net Proceeds received by us from our third party vendor as a result of a Direct Transfer; and (ii) if you registered your domain name with Network Solutions through a third party agent (such as your ISP, for example), you will be eligible to receive fifteen percent (15%) of the Net Proceeds received by us from our third party vendor as a result of a Direct Transfer. You acknowledge and agree that the Direct Transfer process may be facilitated through a single Direct Transfer Customer, or through a brief auction involving multiple parties who are interested in your domain name. For purposes of this paragraph, “Net Proceeds” shall mean the total fees paid to us by our third party vendor as a result of a Direct Transfer, less any registry fees, credit card charge-backs, processing and check fees, and other costs or fees associated with the Direct Transfer of the domain name. You agree that we shall have no obligation to pay you, and you shall have no right to receive, any percentage of the Net Proceeds unless, within ninety (90) days after the date of our Direct Transfer Notification, you first provide us with the name, address and related information requested by us (including, but not limited to, a Form W-9, if applicable) in our Direct Transfer Notification. We cannot guarantee, and we make no representation or promise, that any Direct Transfer will occur with respect to your domain name.

15.  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.

(ii)  The Start-up Trademark Opposition Policy ("STOP"), available at http://www.neulevel.com/countdown/stop.html;

(iii) The Restrictions Dispute Resolution Criteria and Rules, available at http://www.neulevel.com/countdown/rdrp.html.

If at the time of your application for services in the .biz TLD, any of the above policies 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 Web site or the ICANN Web site (located at www.icann.org).  You agree that, by maintaining the services provided hereunder (which may include registration of a domain name) after such posting of any of the ICANN approved .biz Policies, you have agreed to the terms and conditions of the same.  You acknowledge that if you do not agree to the .biz Policies, you may terminate this Agreement. We will not refund any fees paid by you if you terminate your Agreement with us.

3.  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 .biz registry. We cannot control and will not be responsible for the actions or inactions of such third parties.  For example, the .biz 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 .biz registry.

4.  Multiple Phases of Services.  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 Web site and on the .biz Web site 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.

5.  Additional Acknowledgments Concerning Customer Information.  You also acknowledge and agree that Network Solutions will share with the .biz registry certain information submitted by you in your application(s) for our services, as required by our agreement(s) with the .biz registry or to provide the services you have applied for.  You acknowledge and agree that any information we share with the .biz registry may be used by them to fulfill the .biz registry’s service obligations to us or any third party. You hereby grant us and the .biz registry a limited, royalty-free, non-exclusive worldwide license to use all of the data contained in a Trademark     

6. Disclaimer Concerning Intellectual Property Notification Service.  Your participation in an intellectual property notification service or similar service DOES NOT PROVIDE YOU WITH ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTIONS OR REGISTRATIONS, NOR DOES IT PROVIDE YOU WITH ANY RIGHTS TO ANY PARTICULAR DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION.  THIS IS A NOTIFICATION SERVICE ONLY.  EVEN IF YOU PARTICIPATE IN THIS SERVICE, YOU MUST STILL SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION SERVICES TO BE ELIGIBLE TO BECOME THE REGISTRANT FOR THE DESIRED DOMAIN NAME(S).

7.  Survival of Terms.  You agree that the indemnity provisions set forth in this Schedule shall survive any termination of the Agreement.

8.  Terms of Use for IP Claim Service.  The following additional terms apply specifically to the Intellectual Property Claim Service (in this Section 8 of this Schedule, the “Claim Service”) made available in the .biz TLD. For purposes of this Section 8, “Owner” shall mean the owner of a registered or common law trademark or service mark and “Agent” shall mean the duly authorized agent of an Owner (collectively “You”), and “Registrar” shall mean Network Solutions. These Terms of Use will continue to apply to all past use of the Claim Service by You, even if You are no longer using the Claim Service.  You acknowledge and agree that Registrar may terminate or block Your use of all or part of the Claim Service without prior notice for any reason, including, without limitation, if Registrar believes You have engaged in conduct prohibited by these Terms of Use.    

(a). The Claim Service. Registrar provides the Claim Service to holders of both registered and common law trademarks or service marks (collectively “Trademarks”). During the domain name application process, applicants for a .biz domain name (“Applicants”) will be notified of an Owner’s alleged intellectual property rights in a Trademark if the domain name contained in the domain name application is an exact match of the Trademark identified in an IP Claim (as defined below) submitted by Owner. You may review frequently asked questions regarding the Claim Service by reviewing our FAQs.

(b). License to Use Data / Privacy. By submitting an IP Claim, You hereby grant Registrar, as well as any of its agents or subcontractors, and the .biz registry, a limited, royalty-free, non-exclusive worldwide license to use all of the data contained in the IP Claim solely for the purposes of implementing the Claim Service, processing Your IP Claim, notifying Applicants of Your IP Claim, and for notifying You of changes to the Claim Service, and for archival purposes.

(c). The IP Claim Process. In order to submit a claim with respect to a Trademark or Trademarks (“IP Claim”) through the Claim Service, You must complete an IP Claim form for each Trademark. For each IP Claim, You must submit complete contact information, representative contact information and notification details, and the details regarding the Trademark. You may specify in the representative field that an Agent may receive legal correspondence regarding the IP Claim. Once You have submitted an IP Claim, you will receive a confirmation email and a claim number. You must retain the claim number for each IP Claim You submit. Registrar will accept IP Claims until July 9, 2001, or such later date as it may determine in its sole discretion (“Close of Phase I”) and no IP Claims will be accepted after that date. From the Close of Phase I until September 25, 2001 (“Phase 2”), or such other later date as Registrar may choose, in its sole discretion, the domain name applications from ICANN-approved registrars (“Applications”) will be compared with the database of IP Claims processed through the Claim Service (“IP Claim Database”). For each exact match between an IP Claim in the IP Claim Database and a domain name application, the Registry Operator for .Biz (“Registry Operator”) will notify the Applicant that a third party or third parties have submitted an IP Claim for the exact Trademark. The email notification to the Applicant will include, among other things, the information provided by Owner in the IP Claim, instructions on how to proceed with the registration process, and that if selected during the randomized name selection phase (“Name Selection Phase”), the domain name will be placed on a temporary thirty (30) day hold when the Registry goes “live.” The Applicant will have the option to proceed with the Application or cancel the Application. If the Applicant does not respond to the email notification, or elects to cancel the Application, the Applicant’s domain name application will not be processed during the Name Selection Phase. If the Applicant chooses to proceed with the registration process and the name is selected during the Name Selection Phase, that domain name automatically will be placed on a thirty (30) day “hold period” when the name is registered. After Name Selection, the Owner will be notified by Registry Operator if an Applicant has successfully registered the domain name. The Owner will then have the option of contacting the Applicant and finding a solution or using the guidelines set forth by a special dispute resolution process called the Start-up Trademark Opposition Policy (“STOP”) (formerly referred to as the Start-up Dispute Resolution Policy or “SUDRP”) (information available at http://www.neulevel.com/countdown/stop.html), or the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute Resolution Procedures (“UDRP”) (information is available at http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp-policy-24oct99.htm). You will not be notified if there are no Applications that exactly match an IP Claim You submitted in the IP Claim Database.

USE OF THE SERVICE DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT AN OWNER WILL BE AWARDED THE .BIZ EXTENSION FOR ITS TRADEMARK. AN OWNER THAT WISHES TO OBTAIN A .BIZ EXTENSION FOR ITS TRADEMARK MUST FILE A DOMAIN NAME APPLICATION.  DOMAIN NAME APPLICANTS WILL ONLY BE NOTIFIED OF APPLICATIONS THAT ARE EXACT MATCHES WITH A TRADEMARK IDENTIFIED IN AN IP CLAIM FORM. REGISTRAR WILL NOT VERIFY WHETHER A TRADEMARK CLAIMED ON AN IP CLAIM FORM CORRESPONDS WITH AN ACTUAL, LEGAL OR VALID TRADEMARK, NOR WILL REGISTRAR PROVIDE ANY LEGAL OVERSIGHT OR ADJUDICATION FOR ANY DISPUTED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IMPLICATED BY THE SERVICE.

(d). Conduct.  You agree to be bound by the applicable provisions of the Network Solutions Acceptable Use Policy, incorporated herein and made part of this Agreement by reference, in connection with your use of the services described in this Schedule. 

(e) Fees. As consideration for the Claim Service, Registrar, or its agents or subcontractors may require you to submit and pay for each IP Claim individually or it may allow you store up a certain number of IP Claims before submitting them for processing. Once you have stored that number of IP Claims, you may not be able to store any additional IP Claims and may need to submit them for processing and pay the applicable fee before obtaining additional storage space. No refunds are permitted.

(f). Links. Some links on the Claim Service lead to sites posted by independent site owners. Because Registrar has no control over these sites, it cannot be responsible for such sites’ accessibility via the Internet and does not endorse products, services, or information provided by such sites. As such, Registrar shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with, use or reliance on any content, goods or services available on or through any other site. Further, the inclusion of these links does not imply that the other sites have given permission for inclusion of these links, or that there is any relationship between Registrar and the linked sites.

(g). Modifications to the Claim Service. Registrar reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Claim Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that will not be liable to You or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Claim Services.

(h). 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. You will cooperate in good faith with NeuLevel or Registrar in investigating instances of non-compliance with these Terms of Use, if NeuLevel or Registrar believes in good faith that you are not in compliance with these Terms of Use.

(i).  You agree that Registrar and Registry Operator are not responsible for checking, verifying or editing message content or completeness, or for detecting errors or anomalies, or for recreating or re-transmitting data.

1.  Additional Provisions.  You acknowledge and agree to the following: (i) you acknowledge and agree that Network Solutions will share with the .info registry certain information submitted by you in your application(s) for our services, and you consent to the use, copying, distribution, publication, modification and other processing of your personal data by the .info registry and its designees and agents in connection with the .info registry’s service obligations to us or third parties, or as otherwise deemed necessary by the .info registry; (ii) you agree to submit to proceedings commenced under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (“UDRP”) and the Sunrise Dispute Resolution Policy (“SDRP”) (available at http://www.afilias.info/faq/sunrise-challenge.html), as these may be modified from time to time; (iii) you agree to immediately correct and update the registration information for any domain name registered hereunder during the registration term for such registered domain name; and (iv) you acknowledge that the .info registry will have no liability of any kind for any loss or liability resulting from the proceedings and processes relating to the Sunrise Period or the Land Rush Period, including, without limitation: (a) the ability or inability of a registrant to obtain a registered domain name during these periods, and (b) the results of any dispute over a “Sunrise Registration.”

If at the time of your application for services in the .info TLD, the SDRP has not yet been approved by ICANN (which may mean the SDRP is not available for viewing via live hyperlink above), you agree to be bound by the terms of the SDRP upon such approval and in the final form approved by ICANN, as posted on our Web site or the ICANN Web site (located at http://www.icann.org).  You agree that, by maintaining the services provided hereunder after such posting of any of the ICANN approved SDRP, you have agreed to the terms and conditions of the same.  You acknowledge that if you do not agree to the SDRP, you may terminate this Agreement. We will not refund any fees paid by you if you terminate your Agreement with us.

2.  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 .info registry. We cannot control and will not be responsible for the actions or inactions of such third parties.  For example, the .info registry has reserved the right to refuse or cancel any Sunrise Registration at any time and to request additional information relating to a Sunrise Registration.  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 .info registry.  

3.  No Guarantee on Registration. The .info registry, and not Network Solutions, determines the dates and times associated with the various service periods available in the .info TLD. You agree to review and become familiar with the information available on our Web site and on the .info Web site concerning the various periods and descriptions of services available in connection with .info 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 periods you desire to participate in.  You acknowledge and agree that submission of an application for domain name registration or any other services (regardless of when submitted), does not guarantee that you will ultimately be the registrant for a particular domain name.

4.  Disclaimer Concerning Intellectual Property Protection.  Your application for a Sunrise Registration DOES NOT PROVIDE YOU WITH ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTIONS OR REGISTRATIONS. 

SCHEDULE E TO NETWORK SOLUTIONS SERVICE AGREEMENT

SPECIAL NOTICE AND DISCLAIMER FOR MULTILINGUAL DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATIONS

In addition to the terms set forth in Schedule A, the following terms shall apply to Multilingual Domain Names (“MDN”). We currently are making MDN registration services available to you as part of our participation in a test bed ("Test Bed") being conducted by VeriSign Global Registry Services for the purpose testing proposed standards for deployment of MDN technology and to provide operational experience with those proposed standards.

WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY THAT CURRENT OR FUTURE ENCODING SCHEMES, PROTOCOLS AND OTHER MDN-ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES, WHETHER PROVIDED BY US OR OTHERWISE, WILL BE APPROVED BY INTERNET STANDARD-SETTING BODIES OR OTHERWISE SUCCESSFULLY DEPLOYED. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY THAT THE TEST BED WILL CONTINUE OR THAT OUR MDN REGISTRATION SYSTEM WILL INTEROPERATE PROPERLY WITH THE CURRENT OR FUTURE TEST BED OR THE MDN-ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES OF OTHERS.

You assume all risks inherent in the experimental nature of this service and the technologies supporting it. The encoding schemes, protocols and other MDN-enabling technologies are not within our control and are subject to change without notice. You assume all risks that such changes may impair or prevent your ability to use the MDN you have registered. You further understand and agree that we may interrupt or deny MDN registration services to you, temporarily or permanently, as a result of such changes. You further assume all risks that the Internet addressing system will not recognize an MDN you have registered or otherwise will not enable such MDN to function as an Internet address.

We may, but shall not be obligated to, make any and all modifications to an MDN registration, including without limitation changing the MDN's ASCII-based translation, that we deem necessary or appropriate for the purpose of bringing an MDN registration into conformance with evolving technical standards. Such modifications may be made without notice to you. In the event we elect to make such modifications, you agree to hold us harmless from any claims, liabilities or demands arising from such modifications. Before registering an MDN, we strongly recommend that you review and become familiar with the "Multilingual Domain Name Position Paper," published on the website of VeriSign Global Registry Services, currently located at the following url:  http://www.verisign-grs.com.

You specifically acknowledge and agree that an MDN shall be considered a domain name for purposes of the Domain Name Dispute Policy and the provisions relating thereto in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Domain Name Dispute Policy, you agree that during the Test Bed we may terminate your registration of an MDN in our sole discretion without notice to you if, within 45 days of your registration, we receive a formal, written objection to the registration by any legitimate authority, including without limitation a trademark owner or governmental entity. Our right of termination under this provision shall continue until such time as: (1) VeriSign Global Registry Services publicly announces that its Test Bed is complete; and (2) we determine in our sole discretion that all of the encoding schemes, protocols and other MDN-enabling technologies that are used to provide your MDN registration services have been approved by appropriate standard-setting bodies.

The RNCA shall not be effective until both the Current Registrant and the New Registrant have indicated their agreement to the terms and conditions of the Agreement (which includes the terms and conditions of this Schedule). Nothing contained in this Schedule shall be construed as an assignment of the Current Registrant's rights under the Agreement.

2. The terms in this section apply only to the Current Registrant. You agree that you and Network Solutions are currently parties to the Agreement for the registration of the Domain Name(s).

You further acknowledge and agree that you are not entitled to a refund of any fees you may have paid to Network Solutions. You hereby authorize Network Solutions to take all steps necessary to register the Domain Name(s) to the New Registrant, including without limitation, disassociating the Domain Name(s) from the host servers designated by you without further notice. You represent and warrant that you possess the authority to legally bind the Current Registrant of the Domain Name(s) being transferred.

You also reaffirm the accuracy and completeness of all of the information submitted for the Registrant Name Change. Your registration of the Domain Name(s) shall be effective upon Network Solutions' transmission of an acknowledgement to you that the Domain Name(s) has been registered to the New Registrant. You agree to pay Network Solutions the RNCA processing fee set forth on our Web site, if any, by providing appropriate credit card information as requested. You represent and warrant that you are the New Registrant or possess the authority to legally bind the New Registrant of the Domain Name(s) being transferred.

SCHEDULE R TO NETWORK SOLUTIONS SERVICE AGREEMENT

100-YEAR DOMAIN SERVICE

1. 100-Year Domain Service. When you purchase the Network Solutions 100-Year Domain Service for a new domain name registration through Network Solutions, we will initially register the relevant domain name for the maximum number of years allowed by the applicable registry. When you purchase the Network Solutions 100-Year Domain Service for a domain name that is currently registered through Network Solutions, we will initially renew the domain name for the maximum number of years allowed by the applicable registry. We will then automatically renew the domain name registration on an annual basis until you have received a total of 100 years of registration services from us for that domain name from the date of your purchase of the 100-Year Domain Service.

2. Non-Transferable; Non-Refundable. You acknowledge and agree that the 100-Year Domain Service will terminate if you transfer the domain name for which you purchased the service to another registrar. You acknowledge and agree that this service, like all other services we provide, is non-refundable upon termination.

3. Other Services Affecting this Service. You acknowledge and agree that our ability to provide the 100-Year Domain Service is dependent upon, among other things, the continued registration of the relevant domain name, and that any termination of that registration (for whatever reason) will result in the termination of the 100-Year Domain Service for that registration.



SCHEDULE S TO SERVICE AGREEMENT

CERTIFIED OFFER SERVICE

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 (“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 Web site 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). For further example, where a Buyer fails to sign and return to us a required credit card authorization form (so that we can obtain funds from the Buyer) after agreeing to buy a domain name registration, then the transaction cannot be completed (and the Domain Name will not be transferred to the Buyer).

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:

A. 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. You will pay the non-refundable COS offer fee set forth on our Web site at the time you make your offer. This fee will be paid by you 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).

B. Nature of Your Offer and Any Counter-Offer. 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. 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 seven (7) calendar days from the date of your offer, unless 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 containing the Seller’s counter-offer price (or minimal acceptable price)(the “Counter-offer Price”), which you may accept or reject so long as the counter-offer has not been terminated (the “Counter-offer Period”).

C. Acceptance of Offer or Counter-Offer; Process. If the Seller accepts your offer during the Offer Period, or if you accept the Seller’s counter-offer during the Counter-offer 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) for the benefit of the Seller, the Offer Price or Counter-offer Price, as applicable, and (ii) the transaction fee set forth on our Web site 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, including but not limited to a form confirming your authorization to us to charge your credit card for the Total Fees. 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 move 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 or Counter-offer Price, as applicable.

D. Rejection or Termination of Offer or Counter-Offer. If the Seller rejects your offer without making a counter-offer or fails to respond to your offer during the Offer 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 Counter-offer Period, the COS will immediately terminate.

E. 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.

F. 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).

G. 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.

H. 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.

I. 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 or Counter-offer Price, as applicable, to the Seller (through Network Solutions) and the filing of any required forms or returns with the appropriate authorities in connection therewith.

J. 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.

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:

A. 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, and will attempt to obtain funds from the Buyer via credit card 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 of the Buyer’s acceptance of the counter-offer, and Network Solutions will attempt to obtain funds from the Buyer via credit card to pay the counter-offer price (sometimes referred to as the minimum acceptable price)(the “Counter-offer Price”) and Network Solutions’ transaction fee. You acknowledge and agree that in either 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 move 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 or Counter-offer Price, as applicable. 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 or Counter-offer Price, as applicable.

B. Nature of Your Counter-Offer. We will send your counter-offer, if any, via email to the Buyer at the email address 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. Your counter-offer will remain valid and binding on you for a period of seven (7) calendar days from the date of your counter-offer, unless the transaction is terminated by Network Solutions, or the Buyer accepts or rejects your counter-offer (the “Counter-offer Period”). You may not and will not attempt to revoke your counter-offer during the Counter-offer Period. Your counter-offer will automatically terminate upon expiration of the Counter-offer Period.

C. 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 making a counter-offer, except as instructed by Network Solutions or if notified by Network Solutions that the Counter-offer Period has expired.

D. Rejection or Termination of Counter-Offer. If the Buyer rejects your counter-offer or fails to respond to your counter-offer during the Counter-offer Period, the COS will immediately terminate.

E. Additional Seller Representations and Warranties. You represent and warrant that as of the time you accept an 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 Counter-offer Period has expired.

F. 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 successful 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).

G. 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.

H. 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 or Counter-offer 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.

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):

A. Buyer’s Rights and Obligations to Seller. By making an offer through the COS, the Buyer offers to pay to the Seller (through Network Solutions) the offer price listed in the email communication sent 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 open and valid for a period of seven (7) days from the date of the offer, unless the offer is accepted or rejected sooner (the “Offer Acceptance Period”). If the 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 or counter-offer price, as applicable, by depositing sufficient funds via credit card with Network Solutions to cover the offer price or counter-offer 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.

B. Seller’s Rights and Obligations to Buyer. By accepting an 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 seven (7) days 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 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. 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.

C. 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.

(For example, if you desire to accept credit card payments through a website you establish via the Hosting Services, your relationship with the third-party merchant account provider may be subject to an application and approval process and your reaching a separate agreement with such provider.) Some of these separate agreements may require you to pay fees in addition to the fees that you pay us for the Hosting Services.
