Dynadot Service Agreement

Version 3.1

Effective December 1, 2007

INTRODUCTION

This is an Agreement between "You" and Dynadot, LLC ("Dynadot") (formerly INamePro, LLC), a California limited liability corporation. In this Service Agreement ("Agreement"), "You" and "Your" shall refer to Yourself as the customer and Your agents, including each person listed in Your account information as being associated with Your account, while "we", "us" and "our" refer collectively to Dynadot. This Agreement explains the mutual obligations between You and Dynadot based upon Your purchase of services through Dynadot. By purchasing a service through Dynadot, You agree to establish an account with us and to be bound by the terms of this Agreement for transactions entered into by You or on Your behalf by anyone acting as Your agent. You also agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement for transactions entered into by anyone who uses Your account with Dynadot, whether or not the transactions were on Your behalf and whether or not the transactions were with Your permission. You agree that Dynadot's acceptance of any registration, application and/or transaction request made by You for services or products provided by Dynadot will occur in San Mateo, California, USA.

PART 1: GENERAL PROVISIONS

1. FEES & PAYMENT.

As consideration for the services and products ("services") You purchase from Dynadot, You agree to pay Dynadot the applicable fees set forth on our web site at the time of Your purchase, or, if applicable, upon receipt of Your invoice from Dynadot. You agree to pay Dynadot at the time service is provided. You agree that all payments of fees for Dynadot services shall be made in United States dollars. You agree to pay all fees by providing a valid credit card or PayPal account information for immediate charge by Dynadot, or by immediately mailing a valid check to the address stated on our web site. You agree that all fees are due immediately and are non-refundable, except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement. You acknowledge that You have the option to "pre-pay" for Dynadot services, by depositing funds using one of the above-described payment methods, for use as account credit in the purchase of Dynadot services. You agree that any and all account credits and/or "pre-payments" shall be non-refundable and shall not be redeemed for cash, except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement. If for any reason Dynadot is unable to charge Your credit card, debit Your PayPal account, cash Your check, or draw from Your account credit, for the full amount You owe to Dynadot for the services provided by Dynadot, You agree that Dynadot may pursue any and all available remedies in order to enforce payment, including, but not limited to, immediate cancellation without notice to You of any service provided by Dynadot to You. You understand and agree that Dynadot will charge You a fee for any bounced check. The fee for a bounced check is currently $20 and is subject to change under this Agreement, as specified on our website, or as specified in our notices to You at the time of handling Your bounced check. You agree that Dynadot reserves the right to charge You, by charging to the credit card or PayPal account You have on file with Dynadot or by sending You an invoice, additional service fees for administrative services above and beyond the scope of customer service issues ordinarily and reasonably handled by email, or for handling disputes that require legal services.

2. TERM OF AGREEMENT.

The term of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as long as You have any customer account with Dynadot.

3. TERM OF SERVICE; RENEWAL OF SERVICES.

Unless otherwise specified on our web site or herein, each Dynadot service is for a one-year initial term, and is renewable thereafter for successive one to ten-year terms, as set forth during the renewal process or on our web site. Any renewal of Your services with Dynadot is subject to our then-prevailing terms and conditions. You acknowledge and agree that the renewal price may be higher or lower than the price You paid for the then-current term of service. You acknowledge that it is Your sole responsibility to keep Your own records and to maintain Your own reminders regarding when Your services are set to expire. As a convenience to you, and not as a binding commitment, Dynadot may notify You via an email message or via Your account when renewal fees are due. If for any reason You do not complete timely payment of fees in connection with Your renewal transaction, Your services will expire or be cancelled. If You select automatic renewal of Your services, Dynadot may attempt to renew the services a reasonable time before expiration, for a term equivalent to Your original registration, at our then-current prices, provided Your payment information is available and up to date. If, for any reason whatsoever, Dynadot is unable to successfully process any automatic renewal transaction, and You fail to remedy the problem, Your services will expire. You agree that You are solely responsible for the payment information You provide to Dynadot and must promptly notify Dynadot of any changes or updates to Your payment information (e.g., change of expiration date or account number). You acknowledge that Dynadot is not required to, but that we may, contact You to update Your payment information in the event that an attempted transaction is not processed successfully. You understand and agree that Dynadot accepts no responsibility and shall have no liability to You or any third party in connection with the renewal of services, including, but not limited to, any failure or errors in renewing such services, or losses or damages related to any cancellation, discontinuation, expiration, or termination of services as a result of such failures or errors in renewing such services. You understand and agree that You bear the sole responsibility of renewing Your services with Dynadot by logging on to Your Dynadot account and completing the renewal process, or by taking whatever actions are required or requested by Dynadot in order to complete the renewal process. In all cases, domain name renewal transactions are final, irreversible, non-refundable, and ineligible for account credit.

4. ACCURACY OF INFORMATION; UPDATING INFORMATION.

You agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about You as required by the registration and/or application process ("Account Information"). You agree to maintain and update Your Account Information when purchasing services, in order to keep the information accurate, current, and complete. You agree to notify Dynadot within five (5) business days when there is a change to any of Your Account Information. You agree to respond within five (5) business days to any inquiries Dynadot may make to determine the validity of any information provided by You. You understand that Dynadot relies on the Account Information to send You important information and notices regarding Your account and our services. Failure by You for any reason to provide Dynadot with accurate and reliable information at any time, or to timely respond to any inquiries to verify the information You provide, shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement.

5. PRIVACY; USE OF INFORMATION.

You agree to be bound by Dynadot's privacy policy that is incorporated herein by reference, and that is located on our web site at http://www.dynadot.com/privacy_policy.html. You agree that Dynadot, in its sole discretion and at no liability to You for any resulting loss or damage, may modify our privacy policy.

2. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

You agree to be bound by Dynadot's dispute resolution policy that is incorporated herein by reference, and that is located on our web site at http://www.dynadot.com/icann_dispute.html. You agree that Dynadot, in its sole discretion and at no liability to You for any resulting loss or damage, may modify our dispute resolution policy at any time, without notice.

You agree to periodically review our web site to make Yourself aware of any such revisions or changes. You agree that, if You do not agree to any modification, You may terminate this Agreement without refund or credit to You of any fees paid by You to Dynadot.

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 Dynadot or Your use of our services, You (but not Dynadot) agree to submit to subject matter jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction, and venue of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and the courts of Your domicile. You agree that in the event a dispute arises with any third party, You will indemnify, defend, and hold Dynadot harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. You agree that, if Dynadot is notified that a complaint has been filed with a judicial or administrative body regarding Your use of our services, You will not make any changes to Your account or services without our prior approval, and that Dynadot may take whatever action it deems necessary, in its sole discretion, regarding modification, assignment and/or control of the service or account as necessary to comply with the actions or requirements of the judicial or administrative body. You understand and agree that Dynadot will comply, if so obligated, with all court orders, domestic or international, directed against You and/or the domain name registration.

3. RESTORATION OF AN EXPIRED DOMAIN.

Unless otherwise specified herein or on our web site, the following terms and conditions apply to expiring domain name registrations.

Post-Expiration Period. If You fail to renew Your domain name before the designated expiration date, You understand and agree that the domain name registration will enter a "Post-Expiration period". During the Post-Expiration period, Dynadot will place the domain on Hold and You will lose access to and use of the domain, and any web site operating at the expired domain will have its name servers suspended. In addition, You will not be able to transfer the domain to another registrar or to change the registrant information. Further, You will lose any and all rights in, or claim to, any revenue generated from domain parking services, if any, beginning from the date of expiration of the domain name registration. You understand and agree that, at the start of the Post-Expiration period, Dynadot will provisionally renew the domain on Your behalf in order to preserve Your ability to renew the domain name registration during the Post-Expiration period. To this end, even though the expiration date may appear to be extended for an additional term in ICANN's WHOIS directory, You understand and agree that You in fact have not renewed the domain name, and therefore have no rights in, or claim to, the domain name, or use thereof, until You pay the renewal fee to Dynadot in the amount specified on our web site. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, the Post-Expiration period will last for forty (40) days or until You pay the renewal fee to Dynadot in the amount specified on our web site. You understand and agree that, if You have not renewed the domain by the thirtieth (30th) day of the Post-Expiration period, Dynadot may put the domain name up for auction in its Marketplace pursuant to the terms set forth in this Agreement. During a Marketplace auction, You may still renew the domain until the end of the Post-Expiration period. If You fail to renew the domain during the Post-Expiration period, regardless of reason or fault, You understand and agree that Dynadot may, in its sole discretion and without any responsibility or liability to You, make a final and irreversible transfer of the domain to another party. In such cases, there is no Deletion period.

Deletion Period. After the Post-Expiration period has elapsed, and if the domain has not been sold at auction in the Marketplace, the domain name may be flagged for Deletion with the central registry for a period of thirty (30) days ("Deletion period"). During this Deletion period, You may restore Your domain by paying a Restoration fee to Dynadot, in the amount specified on our web site at http://www.dynadot.com/company/prices.html, and is subject to change under this Agreement or as specified on our web site at the time of restoration. Domain restoration transactions are final, irreversible, non-refundable, and ineligible for account credit. If You successfully restore an expired domain before the end of the Deletion period, You cannot transfer the domain for a period of sixty (60) days. If You fail to restore the domain by the end of the Deletion period, the domain name registration will be deleted from the central registry and released to the public. You understand and agree that there is no Deletion period where: (a) a domain has been sold at auction and transferred to the winning bidder; or, (b) the central registry restricts the ability to restore certain domain extensions.

Transfers After Renewals During Post-Expiration Period. You understand and agree that if You transfer a domain name that has been recently renewed there is the potential that the renewal year will be lost. The renewal year will be lost if the domain name is renewed within forty-five (45) days following the domain expiration date and transferred within that same forty-five day period. You understand and agree that Dynadot is not responsible or liable for this lost year, and that Dynadot will not refund or credit that lost year to You.

No .WS Restoration. The Post-Expiration period for .ws domain name registrations will last for twenty-five (25) days or until You pay the renewal fee to Dynadot in the amount specified on our web site. After the Post-Expiration period has elapsed, the domain name will be immediately deleted from the central registry, and the domain name will be released to the public. There is no Deletion period for .ws domain names.

4. DOMAIN PARKING SERVICES.

By default, newly registered domains are parked at Dynadot. Domain parking is one way for users to know that the domain registration was successful. You understand and agree that this is the default setting and that Dynadot is authorized to implement a parked page for Your newly registered domain name until such time as You specify name servers in Your account settings. You further understand and agree that the parked page may contain third party commercial advertising and links back to Dynadot's web site. You understand and agree that You have the option of changing this default behavior in Your account settings to use Your own name servers for subsequent domain name registrations. If You leave the parked page in its default condition, You understand and agree that You have the option of having Your parked page display one of two options: (1) a regular parking page with links back to Dynadot's web site but with no third party advertising; or, (2) a revenue-generating parking page with links back to Dynadot's web site along with third party links and commercial advertising ("Revenue Parking"). You agree that domain parking services are offered free of charge.

Revenue Parking. In order to use Dynadot's Revenue Parking service, You must have an unexpired domain name registered with Dynadot. If You use Revenue Parking, You agree that Dynadot may point the domain name or DNS to one of Dynadot's or Dynadot's affiliate's web pages, and that they may place advertising on your web page and that Dynadot specifically reserves this right. Under the Revenue Parking service, Dynadot or its affiliates will (i) place advertising links on Your parked page; (ii) generate revenue from the advertising links on a per click basis; and, (iii) share a portion of the revenue generated with You in the form of Dynadot account credit. Dynadot shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide You with accurate weekly estimates of the revenue Your Revenue Parking parked page generates. You acknowledge and agree that any such estimates are not an exact determination, do not represent an exact determination, and that the actual amount(s) determined at the end of any revenue generating period may be different. Additionally, in calculating the distribution of revenue generated under this program, amounts may include fractions of a cent. Dynadot shall use commercially reasonable efforts to round these amounts up or down to the nearest cent. However, You acknowledge and agree that in calculating the distribution of revenue generated by any Revenue Parking parked page, Dynadot's determination, in its sole discretion, of any amount owed to You shall be the final and binding determination. In addition, You acknowledge and agree that Dynadot, in its sole discretion, may rescind, reverse, cancel, or modify any amounts of revenue shared, such as by deducting account credits placed into Your account or terminating Your services or any other manner it deems appropriate, in the event of notice of possible abuse of the Revenue Parking service, mathematical, technical, or human error, violation of this Agreement, or for any reason whatsoever as determined in Dynadot's sole discretion. You understand and agree that Dynadot will not share with You any revenue generated during the Post-Expiration period, or during any period where Your domain is expired, is flagged for deletion, has not been renewed, or is past the term of registration that You paid for.

Revenue Parking Restrictions. You understand and agree that You may not generate revenue through Your Revenue Parking parked page by clicking on Your own Revenue Parking parked page advertising links. You further understand and agree that You may not generate traffic to Your Revenue Parking parked page by listing on newsgroups, bulk e-mailing, ICQ posting, chatroom posting, iframes, zero pixel frames, hitbots, clickbots, spiders, cig-scripts, JavaScript, click farms, or any other similar method. In addition, You understand and agree that You may not beg, ask, entice, or incentivize users into clicking on Your Revenue Parking parked page advertising links. You further understand and agree that You may not mislead visitors into believing they might receive anything other than an internet search page and/or results by clicking on a textlink or search box. You also understand and agree that You may not alter, modify, interrupt, or interfere with the normal and intended operation of the Revenue Parking service as operated by Dynadot, or with the advertising links and search results contained therein.

Dynadot's Rights. Dynadot provides its domain parking services exclusively and makes no effort to edit, control, monitor, or restrict the content of data other than as necessary to provide such services. The services provided, including but not limited to the advertisements, shall be based upon the content of Your web site and may include, but are not limited to, advertisements of Your competitors. Dynadot explicitly reserves the right to review and monitor every parked page, and to take corrective action as it deems fit in its sole discretion.

5. INTERRUPTION OF DOMAIN SERVICES.

You agree that Dynadot may suspend, cancel, or transfer Your registration of a domain name in order (i) to correct mistakes made by us, another registrar, or the registry in registering Your chosen domain name, or (ii) to resolve a dispute under our dispute resolution policy.

In the event that Dynadot refuses the registration of Your chosen domain name or deletes a pending registration of Your domain name within the first five (5) days of registration of such domain name, You may receive, at Dynadot's sole discretion, an account credit or refund for any applicable fee(s) You have paid to Dynadot in connection with the registration being refused or canceled. Account credit or refunds are not available where a domain is Restored or renewed.

In the event that Dynadot refuses Your request for Domain Privacy Service or cancels a pending or existing order for Domain Privacy Service within the first fifteen (15) days of purchase of such service, You may receive, at Dynadot's sole discretion, an account credit or refund for any applicable fee(s) You have paid to Dynadot in connection with the service being refused or canceled.

You further agree that Dynadot, in its sole discretion and without liability to You for any resulting loss or damages, may take immediate corrective action, including, but not limited to, removal of all or a portion of Your domain services and/or deletion, suspension, cancellation, termination, or other interruption of domain services or Your customer account with Dynadot, at any time during the term of this Agreement, in the event of notice of any possible violation of this Agreement by You or Your end users, or if such service or account is used in association with morally objectionable activities, or for any reason whatsoever. In such cases, any and all fees paid to Dynadot will be non-refundable and ineligible for account credit.

6. NEW REGISTRATION DELETION SERVICE.

The additional terms and conditions contained in this section apply where Dynadot provides You with the capability to delete a new registration of a domain name within the first several days of registration of such domain name ("Deletion Service"). A new registration of a domain name is one where the registration request processed successfully, and the registration is not more than five (5) days old. You acknowledge and agree that these terms and conditions apply regardless of whether You utilize the self-service deletion function within Your Dynadot customer account area, or You request, authorize, and/or direct Dynadot to complete the delete function on Your behalf ("Deletion Request").

You understand and agree that Dynadot must receive Your Deletion Request within the time frame specified on its website. You acknowledge and agree that, although Dynadot will attempt to make a good faith effort to process Your Deletion Request, any late or last-minute Deletion Requests, or those submitted for processing in the 24 hours preceding the stated deadline, may fail to process successfully. You understand and agree that, if the Deletion Request is successfully processed, You may receive an account credit only; no refunds are available. In addition, Dynadot may assess a processing fee or other charge against any account credit You may receive, as specified on our website, for any and all Deletion Requests processed. You further understand and agree that, if the Deletion Request is not successfully processed for any reason whatsoever, regardless of fault or cause, and regardless of the timeliness of Your Deletion Request, Dynadot shall not be liable to You or any third party for any resulting loss or damages. In all such cases, any and all fees paid to Dynadot will be non-refundable and ineligible for account credit.

Abuse. Any abuse of the Deletion Service, including, but not limited to, successive or "chain" registration periods in order to avoid paying for domain names, or any other activity that Dynadot deems in its sole discretion to constitute abuse or inappropriate use of the service, is strictly prohibited. You acknowledge and agree that Dynadot, in its sole discretion and without liability to You for any resulting loss or damages, may take immediate corrective action, including, but not limited to, deletion, suspension, cancellation, termination, or other interruption of any or all of Your domain services or Your customer account with Dynadot. In all such cases, any and all fees paid to Dynadot shall be non-refundable and ineligible for account credit.

Restrictions. You acknowledge and agree that the new registration Deletion Service is not available in connection with any .eu domain name registration.

You acknowledge and agree that Dynadot, at any time and in our sole discretion, may suspend, terminate, or disable the Deletion Service without notice, for any reason, and with no obligation to refund or credit any fees or funds previously paid to Dynadot.

7. DOMAIN FORWARDING SERVICE.

The following additional terms and conditions contained in this section apply where Dynadot provides You with the capability to forward, point, alias, redirect, or resolve a domain name registration to another domain name designated by You ("Forwarding"). You represent and warrant that You have the right, power, legal capacity and authority to Forward your domain name to the other domain name. You acknowledge and agree that Dynadot, at any time and in our sole discretion, may suspend, terminate, or disable Your Forwarding service without notice, for any reason, and with no obligation to refund or credit any fees or funds previously paid to Dynadot.

You acknowledge that the Forwarding service includes an optional Stealth feature which provides You with the capacity to forward, point, alias, redirect, or resolve a domain name to another domain's web site content and all linking web sites during the window browsing session, while still displaying Your domain name in the URL address location ("Stealth Forwarding"). You acknowledge that Stealth Forwarding may not work properly on all web sites, depending on their configuration and ability to work with frames.

8. CHANGE OF REGISTRAR: TRANSFER TO/FROM DYNADOT.

The following additional terms and conditions contained in this section apply where a Registered Name Holder requests to change its registrar of record for an existing domain name registration. You agree to pay any and all fees to Dynadot as set forth on our web site.

Procedure for Transfers. For each instance where a Registered Name Holder wants to change its registrar for an existing domain name, Dynadot requires the following:

(a) Express authorization to initiate the transfer process from an individual who has the apparent authority to legally bind the Registered Name Holder, as reflected in the database of the registrar that is losing the domain name registration.

(b) In instances where the registrar of record is being changed simultaneously with the transfer of a domain name from one party to another, the registrar gaining the domain name registration will require submission of appropriate authorization for the transfer. Such authorization includes, but is not limited to, one of the following:

(i) A bilateral agreement between the parties.

(ii) The final determination of a binding dispute resolution body.

(iii) A court order.

Denial of Transfers. You agree that Dynadot may, in its sole discretion, deny any request for transfer of any domain name from another domain name registrar to Dynadot. You understand and agree that, if You attempt to transfer a domain name from another domain name registrar to Dynadot, and that transfer attempt fails for any reason, You may receive an account credit with Dynadot in the amount of the registration fee, but You will not receive a refund of any fees. You agree to assume full and complete responsibility for, and agree that Dynadot shall have no responsibility or liability for, any instance where the other domain name registrar involved in the transfer denies your transfer request. You understand and agree that, if You attempt to transfer a domain name from Dynadot to another domain name registrar, and that transfer attempt fails for any reason, Dynadot shall have no responsibility or liability to You for refunding or crediting any fees or funds You may have paid to any party for attempting the transfer.

Instances when a transfer request may be denied include, but are not limited to:

(a) Situations described in our dispute resolution policy;

(b) A pending bankruptcy of the Registered Name Holder;

(e) Request to transfer the domain name occurs after the domain name registration has expired;

(f) The domain name registration expires while the transfer is being processed;

(g) The domain name registration is locked or on "hold" status with the current registrar.

Transfers After Renewals During Post-Expiration Period. You understand and agree that if You transfer a domain name that has been recently renewed there is the potential that the renewal year will be lost. The renewal year will be lost if the domain name is renewed within the forty-five (45) days following the domain expiration date and transferred within that same forty-five day period. You understand and agree that Dynadot is not responsible or liable for this lost year, and that Dynadot will not refund or credit that lost year to You.

Authorization Emails. You understand that Dynadot will seek transfer authorization from the domain name's Administrative Contact via the email address listed in the public WHOIS database. You agree that You are solely responsible for maintaining and updating the Administrative Contact's email address.

Additional Provisions for Transfers To Dynadot. You agree that Dynadot will have no responsibilities as registrar of the domain name unless and until we send You or the updated registrant, as appropriate, notice of acceptance of the transfer request. You authorize Dynadot to take all actions necessary to become the registrar for the domain name, including transmitting to the central registry a request to change the registry database to reflect Dynadot as the registrar of record. You agree that Dynadot shall not be responsible for any legal obligations You may owe to any third party, including the other registrar involved in the transfer. You agree that You shall not be entitled to any refund or credit from Dynadot for any fees or funds You may have paid to the other registrar involved in the transfer. You represent and warrant that: (a) the information provided to Dynadot in connection with Your transfer request is accurate and complete; (b) You are the rightful holder of the domain name registration; (c) the registrar of record for the domain name at the time of the request is the current registrar; and, (d) You are not in default on any obligations You may owe to the current registrar or to Dynadot.

Additional Provisions for Transfers Away From Dynadot. 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 Dynadot. Your request to transfer to another registrar may be denied in situations described in this Agreement. In the event You transfer a domain name registration away from Dynadot, You agree that You will not receive any refund or credit for any fees or funds previously paid to Dynadot, whether or not there is time remaining on the domain registration period at the time of the transfer.

Additional Provisions for .COM, .NET, .ORG, .BIZ, .INFO, .US, and .CN Transfers. You acknowledge that the applicable central registries require that .COM, .NET, .ORG, .BIZ, .INFO, .US, and .CN domain names be "unlocked" with Your current registrar before a transfer request may be processed. You further acknowledge that such central registries require the use of an "AuthCode", which the central registries issue to the Registered Name Holder upon domain name registration, when submitting the transfer request in order to process the request. You agree to assume full and complete responsibility for, and agree that Dynadot shall have no responsibility or liability for, ensuring that any such domain names are "unlocked" or that any such transfer requests contain an "AuthCode" in order to process the transfer request.

Additional Provisions for .WS Transfers. You acknowledge that the applicable central registry prohibits the transfer of .WS domain names under any circumstances. You agree that Dynadot shall have no responsibility or liability for the prohibition on transfer of .WS domains.

Additional provisions for .UK Transfers. You acknowledge that the applicable central registry requires You to reset the Tag associated with Your domain name to the gaining registrar's Tag. You acknowledge that You must submit this Tag reset request through Your current registrar's designated procedures. In addition, the gaining registrar may send You an Authorization email. You acknowledge that You must respond in a timely and appropriate manner to any such Authorization email. You agree to assume full and complete responsibility for, and agree that Dynadot shall have no responsibility or liability for, ensuring that You submit a timely and appropriate Tag reset request, or that You submit a timely and appropriate response to the gaining registrar's Authorization email.

Additional Provisions for .EU Transfers. You understand and agree that if You transfer an .eu domain name, regardless of when You complete the transfer during the term of registration, You will not receive an additional year of domain registration in addition to Your current domain registration term. Instead, You understand and agree that You will receive only one (1) calendar year of registration time starting from the date that the transfer transaction completes. You understand and agree that Dynadot is not responsible or liable for any lost time on the registration term, and that Dynadot will not refund or credit that lost time to You.

Other Terms and Conditions. You agree to be bound by any and all other terms, conditions, exclusions, and/or restrictions in this Agreement concerning the transfer of domain name registrations.

Current Registrant acknowledges and agrees that it is not entitled to any refund or credit of any fees or funds previously paid to Dynadot. Current Registrant authorizes Dynadot to take any and all steps necessary to register the domain name being transferred to the New Registrant, including, without limitation, disassociating the domain name from the host servers designated by the Current Registrant without further notice.

Obligations of New Registrant. By participating in this name change transaction, New Registrant acknowledges that it has reviewed, understands, and agrees to be bound by and to perform in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement in effect at the time of this name change transaction, including Dynadot's domain name dispute policy and other policies and procedures as posted on our web site.

Additional Provisions for .EU Ownership Changes. You understand and agree that ownership changes of .eu domain names will be treated by Dynadot and the Registry Operator as a "Trade". A Trade of a .eu domain is treated like a new domain registration in that the New Registrant must pay the registration fee as specified on our web site.
