as offered through AussieNet Internet Services NSW, the Registration Service
Provider ("Reseller"). This Agreement explains our obligations to
you, and explains your obligations to us for the Services.
2. SELECTION
OF A DOMAIN NAME.
You represent that, to the best of the your knowledge and belief, neither
this registration of a 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 whatsoever.

As consideration for the Services, you agree to pay Reseller the applicable
service(s) fees. All fees payable hereunder are non-refundable. 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"). By submitting this
Agreement, you represent that the Account Information and all other
statements put forth in your application are true, complete and accurate.
Both NetRegistry and the Registry reserve 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 the Registry to terminate this
Agreement immediately upon such breach without any refund and without notice
to you.
4. TERM.
This Agreement will remain in full force during the length of the term of
your Domain Name Registration as selected, recorded, and paid for upon
registration of the Domain Name. Should you choose to renew or otherwise
lengthen the term of your Domain Name Registration, then the term of this
Registration Agreement will be extended accordingly. Should the domain name
be transferred to another Registrar, the terms and conditions of this
contract shall cease.

awareness of any and all such revisions. If you do not agree with any
revision to the Agreement, you may terminate this Agreement at any time by
providing us with notice by e-mail or postal service pursuant to the Notices
section of this Agreement. Notice of your termination shall be effective
after processing by us. You agree that, by continuing the use of Services

domain name to us from another registrar, you agree to be bound by the
Dispute Policy that 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.icann.org/udrp.udrp-policy-24oct99.htm.

challenged by a third party, you will be subject to the provisions specified
in the Dispute Policy. 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.
9. POLICY.
You agree that your registration of the domain name shall be subject to
suspension, cancellation, or transfer pursuant to a NetRegistry, Registry,
ICANN or government-adopted policy, or pursuant to any registrar or registry
procedure not inconsistent with a NetRegistry, Registry, ICANN or
government-adopted policy, (1) to correct mistakes by us or the 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 have
provided notice of the terms and conditions in this Agreement to any third
party licensee and that the third party agrees to the terms hereof.
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 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.
13.
INDEMNITY.
You agree to release, indemnify, and hold us, our contractors, agents,
employees, officers, directors and affiliates and the Registry, Public
Interest Registry, and its directors, officers, employees, agents and
affiliates harmless from all liabilities, claims and expenses, 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. 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 user name 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. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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.
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,

your own discretion and risk and that you will be solely responsible for any

vendors, some, or all, of the domain name registration information you
provide, for purposes of inspection (such as through our WHOIS service) or
other purposes as required or permitted by ICANN and applicable laws.
You hereby consent to any and all such disclosures and use of, and
guidelines, limits and restrictions on disclosure or use of, information
provided by you in connection with the registration of a domain name

disclosure or use of your domain name registration information by us.

that we obtain from you in a way incompatible with the purposes and other
limitations which we describe in this Agreement.
We will take reasonable precautions to protect the information we obtain
from you from our loss, misuse, unauthorized accessor disclosure, alteration
or destruction of that information.
20.
REVOCATION.
Your wilful provision of inaccurate or 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 the ICANN Agreement or an
ICANN/Registry Operator policy.

REFUSAL.
We, in our sole discretion, reserve the right to refuse to register or
reserve your chosen domain name or register you for other Services. In the

other Services, or we delete your domain name or other Services within such
thirty (30) calendar day period, we agree to refund your applicable fee(s).
You agree that we shall not be liable to you for loss or damages that may
result from our refusal to register, reserve, or delete your domain name or
register you for other Services.

(30) day period following registration if we believe the registration has
been made possible by a mistake, made either by us or by a third party.

Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Dispute Policy shall be construed
as creating any agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise
between the parties.
24.
NON-WAIVER.
