a third party and that the Domain Name is not being registered
for any unlawful purpose.

have selected, you agree to pay to us, or your respective RSP
who remits payment to us on your behalf, the applicable service(s)

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

7. DOMAIN NAME RENEWALS. Telligent Corporation
will send several renewal notices well in advance before the
expiry date. It is your responsibility to keep your contact
email address current. We will notify you only by email. You
have the responsibility of logging into your account and manually
implementing the renewal by the expiration date (should you
in fact want the domain name to be renewed). In case, if you
fail to implement the renewal in a timely fashion the domain
name will be cancelled and you will no longer have use of that
name. You agree that Telligent Corporation will not be responsible
for cancelled or expired domain names that you fail to renew.
If you renew a domain after the expiry date, there will be an
additional charge of $10 US or $15 CDN per domain.

or registered a domain name through us, or transferred a domain
name to us from another registrar, you agree to be bound by
the Dispute Policy which is incorporated herein and made a part
of this Agreement by reference. The current version of the Dispute
Policy may be found at
http://www.opensrs.org/legal/udrp.shtml
.
Please take the time to familiarize yourself with this policy.
|

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 in effect at the time of the dispute.
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 Dispute Policy.
For any dispute, you agree to submit to the jurisdiction of
the courts of The Province of Ontario.
|
|
10. ICANN POLICY. You agree that your registration
of the SLD name shall be subject to suspension, cancellation,
or transfer pursuant to any ICANN-adopted policy, or pursuant
to any registrar or registry procedure not inconsistent with
an ICANN-adopted policy, (1) to correct mistakes by Registrar
or the Registry in registering the name or (2) for the resolution
of disputes concerning the SLD name.
|
|
11. AGENCY. Should you intend to license use
of a domain name to a third party you shall nonetheless be the
SLD 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 SLD. You shall accept liability for harm
caused by wrongful use of the SLD, unless you promptly disclose
the identity of the licensee to the party providing you reasonable
evidence of actionable harm. You also represent that you have
provided notice of the terms and conditions in this Agreement
to the third party and that the third party agrees to the terms
of Disclosure and Use of Registration Information (sections

right to distribute information to you that is pertinent to

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.
|
|
13. 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
such Service(s). We and our contractors 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. In no event shall our maximum liability
exceed five hundred ($500.00) dollars.
|
|
14. INDEMNITY. You agree to release, indemnify,
and hold us, our contractors, agents, employees, officers, directors
and affiliates harmless from all liabilities, claims and expenses,
including without limitation Network Solutions, Inc., and the
directors, officers, employees and agents of each of them, including
attorney's fees, of third parties relating to or arising under
this Agreement, the Services provided hereunder or your use
of the Services, including without limitation infringement by
you, or someone else using the Service with your computer, of
any intellectual property or other proprietary right of any
person or entity, or from the violation of any of our operating
rules or policy relating to the service(s) provided. You also
agree to release, indemnify and hold us harmless pursuant to
the terms and conditions contained in the 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 deactivation
of your domain name.
|
|
15. TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP. The person named as
administrative contact at the time the controlling user name
and password are secured shall be the owner of 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. Your domain name will not
be transferred until we receive such written assurances or other
reasonable assurance that the Transferee has been bound by the
contractual terms of this Agreement (such reasonable assurance
as determined by us in our sole discretion) along with the applicable
transfer fee. 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.
|
|
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. NO GUARANTY. You agree that, by registration
or reservation of your chosen domain name, such registration
or reservation does not confer immunity from objection to either
the registration, reservation, or use of the domain name.
