You acknowledge and agree that the Service Provider cannot guarantee that you will obtain a desired domain name registration, even if an inquiry indicates that a domain name is available at the time of your application for same. You represent that, to the best of the your knowledge and belief, neither the registration of the domain name nor the manner in which it is directly or indirectly to be used, infringes upon the legal rights of a third party and further, that the domain name is not being registered for nor shall it at any time whatsoever be used for any unlawful purpose.

You acknowledge that registering or reserving a domain name does not guarantee immunity from objection, challenge, suspension, cancellation, transfer or revocation of that domain name by the Service Provider, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), government bodies, or third parties.
c. You acknowledge and agree to submit to proceedings under ICANN's Uniform Domain Dispute Policy ("UDRP") http://www.icann.org/dndr/udrp/policy.htm and comply with all other requirements set forth by ICANN, applicable registries, governing bodies, and agencies providing enforceable law, rules, and policies for domain name registrants.

If the Service Provider is notified that a complaint has been filed with a judicial or administrative body regarding your domain name, the Service Provider may, at its sole discretion, suspend your ability to use your domain name or to make modifications to your registration records until (i) the Service Provider is directed to do so by the judicial or administrative body, or (ii) the Service Provider receives notification by you and the other party contesting your domain that the dispute has been settled. Furthermore, you agree that if you are subject to litigation regarding your registration or use of your domain name, the Service Provider may deposit control of your registration record into the registry of the judicial body by supplying a party with a registrar certificate from us.
d. The person named as Registrant in the required "Whois" database of registered domain names managed by all registrars shall be the registered name holder.

i. your name and postal address (or, if different, that of the domain name holder);
ii. the domain name being registered;
iii. the name, postal address, e-mail address, and voice and fax (if available) telephone numbers of the administrative contact for the domain name;
iv. the name, postal address, e-mail address, and voice and fax (if available) telephone numbers of the billing contact for the domain name; and
v. the name, postal address, e-mail address, and voice and fax (if available) telephone numbers of the technical contact for the domain name.

You hereby irrevocably waive any and all claims and causes of action you have arising from such disclosure or use of your domain name registration by the Service Provider.
g. Your willful provision of inaccurate or unreliable information, your willful failure to promptly update information provided to us, or any failure to respond to inquiries by us addressed to the e-mail address of the registrant, the administrative, billing or technical contact appearing in the Whois directory with respect to a domain name concerning the accuracy of contact details associated with the registration shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and be a basis for cancellation of the domain name registration.
h. You acknowledge that the Service Provider provides domain name services subject to its ICANN accreditation and are provided at the Service Provider's sole discretion. If the Service Provider for any reason ceases providing domain name services, your sole remedy shall be to transfer your domain name to another registrar.
