Domain Name Registrant Agreement
1. IN THIS REGISTRATION AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), “Registrant”, "you" and
"your" refers to the Registrant of each domain name registration, "we", “us" and
"our" refers to Tucows.com Co., and “Services” refers to the domain name
registration services provided by us as offered through BF Ventures Inc., the Registration Service Provider
(“Reseller”). Any reference to a “registry,” “Registry” or “Registry Operator”
shall refer to the registry administrator of the applicable TLD or ccTLD. This
Agreement explains our obligations to you, and explains your obligations to us
for the Services. By agreeing to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, you are also agreeing to be bound by the rules and regulations set
forth by a registry for that particular registry only.
2. SELECTION OF A DOMAIN NAME. You acknowledge and agree that we 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. During the period
following registration of a domain name and the appointment of active name
servers, we may post a stagnant web page and any revenues generated from same
shall be for our own account.
3. FEES. As consideration for the Services, you agree to pay Reseller the
applicable service(s) fees prior to the effectiveness of a desired domain name
registration or any renewal thereof. All fees payable hereunder are
non-refundable even if your domain name registration is suspended, cancelled or
transferred prior to the end of your current registration term. As further
consideration for the Services, you agree to: (1) provide certain current,
complete and accurate information about you as required by the registration
process, and (2) maintain and update this information as needed to keep it
current, complete and accurate. All such information shall be referred to as
account information ("Account Information"). You represent that the Account
Information and all other statements put forth in your application are true,
complete and accurate. Both Tucows and each registry reserves the right to
terminate your domain name registration if: (i) information provided by you or
your agent is false, inaccurate, incomplete, unreliable, misleading or otherwise
secretive; or (ii) you have failed to maintain, update and keep your Account
Information true, current, complete, accurate and reliable. You acknowledge that
a breach of this Section 3 will constitute a material breach of our Agreement,
which will entitle either us or a registry to terminate this Agreement
immediately upon such breach without any refund and without notice to you.
4. TERM. This Agreement will remain in effect during the term of your
domain name registration as selected, recorded and paid for at the time of
registration or any renewal thereof. Should the domain name be transferred to
another registrar, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall cease.
5. MODIFICATIONS TO AGREEMENT. You acknowledge that the practice of
registering and administering domain names is constantly evolving; therefore,
you agree that Tucows may modify this Agreement, or any other related and/or
applicable agreement, as is necessary to comply with its agreements with ICANN,
a registry or any other entity or individual, as well as to adjust to changing
circumstances. All amendments to this Agreement will be posted on our website.
Your continued use of the domain name registered to you will constitute your
acceptance of this Agreement with any revisions. If you do not agree to any
change, you may request that your domain name registration be cancelled or
transferred to a different accredited registrar. You agree that such
cancellation or request for transfer will be your exclusive remedy if you do not
wish to abide by any change to this Agreement, or any other related and/or
applicable agreement.
6. MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR ACCOUNT. In order to change any of your account
information with us, you must use the Account Identifier and Password that you
selected when you opened your account with us. You agree to safeguard your
Account Identifier and Password from any unauthorized use. In no event shall we
be liable for the unauthorized use or misuse of your Account Identifier or
Password.
7. NO GUARANTY. You acknowledge that registration or reservation of your
chosen domain name does not confer immunity from objection to the registration,
reservation or use of the domain name.
8. DOMAIN NAME DISPUTES. You agree that, if the registration or
reservation of your domain name is challenged by a third party, you will be
subject to the provisions specified in the dispute policy adopted by the
applicable registry. 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 contained in the applicable policy. If Tucows is notified
that a complaint has been filed with a judicial or administrative body regarding
your domain name, Tucows may, at its sole discretion, suspend your ability to
use your domain name or to make modifications to your registration records until
(i) Tucows is directed to do so by the judicial or administrative body, or (ii)
Tucows 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,
Tucows may deposit control of your registration record into the registry of the
judicial body by supplying a party with a registrar certificate from us.
9. POLICY. You agree that your registration of the domain name shall be
subject to suspension, cancellation, or transfer pursuant to a Tucows, registry,
ICANN or government-adopted policy, or pursuant to any registrar or registry
procedure not inconsistent with a Tucows, registry, ICANN or government-adopted
policy, (1) to correct mistakes by us or a registry in registering the name or
(2) for the resolution of disputes concerning the domain name.
10. AGENCY. Should you intend to license use of a domain name to a third
party you shall nonetheless be the domain name holder of record and are
therefore responsible for providing your own full contact information and for
providing and updating accurate technical and administrative contact information
adequate to facilitate timely resolution of any problems that arise in
connection with the domain name. You shall accept liability for harm caused by
wrongful use of the domain name. You represent that you will secure the
agreement of any third party to the terms and conditions in this Agreement
11. ANNOUNCEMENTS. We reserve the right to distribute information to you
that is pertinent to the quality or operation of our services and those of our
service partners. These announcements will be predominately informative in
nature and may include notices describing changes, upgrades, new products or
other information to add security or to enhance your identity on the Internet.
12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. You agree that our entire liability, and
your exclusive remedy, with respect to any Services(s) provided under this
Agreement and any breach of this Agreement is solely limited to the amount you
paid for the initial registration of your domain name. Tucows and its directors,
employees, affiliates, subsidiaries, agents and third party providers, ICANN and
the applicable registries shall not be liable for any direct, indirect,
incidental, special or consequential damages resulting from the use or inability
to use any of the Services or for the cost of procurement of substitute
services. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states, our liability
is limited to the extent permitted by law. We disclaim any and all loss or
liability resulting from, but not limited to: (1) loss or liability resulting
from access delays or access interruptions; (2) loss or liability resulting from
data non-delivery or data mis-delivery; (3) loss or liability resulting from
acts of God; (4) loss or liability resulting from the unauthorized use or misuse
of your account identifier or password; (5) loss or liability resulting from
errors, omissions, or misstatements in any and all information or services(s)
provided under this Agreement; (6) loss or liability resulting from the
interruption of your Service. You agree that we will not be liable for any loss
of registration and use of your domain name, or for interruption of business, or
any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind
(including lost profits) regardless of the form of action whether in contract,
tort (including negligence), or otherwise, even if we have been advised of the
possibility of such damages.
13. INDEMNITY. You agree to release, indemnify, and hold Tucows, its
contractors, agents, employees, officers, directors and affiliates, ICANN, the
applicable registries and their respective directors, officers, employees,
agents and affiliates harmless from all liabilities, claims and expenses,
including attorney's fees, of third parties arising out of or relating to the
registration or use of the domain name registered in your name, whether used by
yourself, licensed to a third party or pursuant to the Whois Privacy Service,
including without limitation infringement by you or a third party with access to
your Account Identifier and Password. You also agree to release, indemnify and
hold us harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the
applicable Dispute Policy. When we are threatened with suit by a third party, we
may seek written assurances from you concerning your promise to indemnify us;
your failure to provide those assurances may be considered by us to be a breach
of your Agreement and may result in the suspension or cancellation of your
domain name. This indemnification obligation will survive the termination or
expiration of this Agreement.
14. TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP. The person named as Registrant on the Whois
shall be the registered name holder. The person named as administrative contact
at the time the controlling account identifier and password are secured shall be
deemed the designate of the Registrant with the authority to manage the domain
name. You agree that prior to transferring ownership of your domain name to
another person (the “Transferee") you shall require the Transferee to agree, in
writing to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If the
Transferee fails to be bound in a reasonable fashion (as determine by us in our
sole discretion) to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, any such
transfer will be null and void.
15. RENEWALS AND FORFEITURE. Domain names are registered for a finite
period of time. You will receive reminders immediately prior to the expiration
of your registration inviting you to renew your domain name. In the event that
you fail to renew your domain name in a timely fashion, your registration will
expire and we may, at our discretion, elect to assume the registration and may
hold it for our own account, delete it or we may sell it to a third party. You
acknowledge and agree that your right and interest in a domain name ceases upon
its expiration and that any expired domain name may be made available for
registration by a third party.
If you fail to renew your registration, your domain name may cease to resolve
and visitors to your site may be redirected to a default page informing them
that the site is no longer in service. This parked or default page may feature
advertisements posted by us for our own account.
If we have elected to renew the registration, you will be entitled to a grace
period during which you may re-register the domain name from us. Additional
costs may apply. During this grace period, we may post a parked page and/or may
revise the “Whois” registration records to include either our information or
that of your Reseller. The domain name may also be listed for auction. If the
name is sold during any such auction, it will be acquired by a third party on a
provisional basis and will remain available for re-registration by you during
our stated grace period. If you do not re-register the domain name during the
grace period, the auction sale will be concluded.
If you fail to renew your domain name registration during the grace period, you
acknowledge that you have abandoned the domain name and that it is available for
sale and registration by any third party.
16. BREACH. You agree that failure to abide by any provision of this
Agreement, any operating rule or policy or the Dispute Policy provided by us,
may be considered by us to be a material breach and that we may provide a
written notice, describing the breach, to you. If within thirty (30) calendar
days of the date of such notice, you fail to provide evidence, which is
reasonably satisfactory to us, that you have not breached your obligations under
the Agreement, then we may delete the registration or reservation of your domain
name. Any such breach by you shall not be deemed to be excused simply because we
did not act earlier in response to that, or any other breach by you.
17. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. You agree that your use of our Services is
solely at your own risk. You agree that such Service(s) is provided on an "as
is," "as available" basis. We expressly disclaim all warranties of any kind,
whether express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties
of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We
make no warranty that the Services will meet your requirements, or that the
Service(s) will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error free; nor do we make
any warranty as to the results that may be obtained from the use of the
Service(s) or as to the accuracy or reliability of any information obtained
through the Service or that defects in the Service will be corrected. You
understand and agree that any material and/or data downloaded or otherwise
obtained through the use of Service is done at your own discretion and risk and
that you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or
loss of data that results from the download of such material and/or data. We
make no warranty regarding any goods or services purchased or obtained through
the Service or any transactions entered into through the Service. No advice or
information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through the
Service shall create any warranty not expressly made herein.
18. INFORMATION. As part of the registration process, you are required to
provide us certain information and to update us promptly as such information
changes such that our records are current, complete and accurate. You are
obliged to provide us the following information:

different, that of the domain name holder); |

You hereby consent to any and all such
disclosures and use of, and guidelines, limits and restrictions on

identified or identifiable natural person that we obtain from you in a
way incompatible with the purposes and other limitations which we

We will take reasonable precautions to protect the
information we obtain from you from our loss, misuse, unauthorized
disclosure, alteration or destruction of that information. |

unreliable information, your wilful failure promptly to update information
provided to us, or any failure to respond to inquiries by us addressed to the
email 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. Any information collected by us
concerning an identified or identifiable natural person (“Personal Data”) will
be used in connection with the registration of your domain name(s) and for the
purposes of this Agreement and as required or permitted by ICANN or an
applicable registry policy.

Agreement may be inconsistent with any term, condition, policy or procedure of
an applicable registry, the term, condition, policy or procedure of the
applicable registry shall prevail.
