3. Cancellations and Refunds

3.1 Refunds of Registered Domains
Once a domain name is registered Yawadoo.US cannot refund the registration fee even if the customer request the domain to be cancelled. A Registration is defined as valid the moment a domain is accepted by the Registry responsible for the TLD regardless of any subsequent action taken by the Registry or any third party.

Customer agrees that all sales including registrations are final and that no refunds will be given. Furthermore, Customer agrees that no refunds will be granted for loss of domain for reasons that include but are not limited to a) fraudulent registration, b) registration in bad faith, c) loss of a domain dispute via the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, or c) reversal decision by the Registry, d) cancellations by Yawadoo.US due to Customer spamming, or other violations of this agreement by Customer.

3.2 Yawadoo.US Registrar Domains
In the case of domains in which Yawadoo.US is the Registrar and a customer has made a mistake in the spelling or other error. Yawadoo.US may at its sole discretion re-register a correct domain for a nominal fee determined per incident usually at $10.00.

3.3 Non Registerable or Rejected Domains
In the event a domain name is not registerable, Yawadoo.US will credit the credit card or send a refund if paid by check.

3.4 Policies .BIZ and .INFO Submissions (Not to be confused with Pre-Registrations or Registrations)
.INFO and .BIZ Submissions: Ordering submissions for a domain is NOT the same as registering a domain. You are requesting Yawadoo.US to enter into its database, manage, and submit to the Registry, the number of submissions you have requested. You acknowledge that Yawadoo.US does not, nor cannot guarantee that you will receive any of the domains you have ordered submissions for.

3.5 Refund Policy for Domain Package Orders
Definition of a Domain Package Order: A purchase of a bulk number of domains registrations prior to registration at a discounted price.
Yawadoo.US will not refund any unused amount of a domain package order except for the following exceptions: a) the discontinuation of the products, which the package included, b) the sole discretion of Yawadoo.US

4.Domain Modifications

Customer understands the they are responsible for all modifications to the domain names they register.

5. Domain (Registrar) Transfers

5.1 Ownership: Customer agrees that it has verified Customer's ownership of any domain it requests to be transferred from another registrar to Alldomains as the registrar. Customer understands that transferring of a domain not owned by the Customer may result in Alldomains performing customer service functions and often paying the Losing Registrar to transfer the domain back on behalf of the rightful owner. Thus Customer agrees to pay a Transfer Reversal fee of $120.00 for any domain transferred that Customer requested but is not the valid owner of.

5.2 Responsibilities: Customer understands that Yawadoo.US is only responsible for the submission of the Registrar Transfer Request to the Registry and the adding of the domain name to Yawadoo.US's Registrar Database upon a successful transfer. Yawadoo.US is not responsible for any action required by the loosing Registrar or by the customer to either facilitate the transfer or expedite it. Transfers may take from one day to several days depending on the processes of the loosing Registrar. Many Registrars require the domain holder to acknowledge in some way their intent to switch Registrars. Due to the time constraints it is NOT recommended that a customer request a transfer too close to an upcoming expiration for a particular domain.

6. Renewals

6.1 Renewal Pricing
Renewal pricing is based on the price group used for registering a particular domain. A domain may be renewed for any term supported by the particular domain. For .com, .net, or .org, the available terms are 1 through 10 years.

6.2 Renewal Process and Auto-renewals (D-Safe™)
Yawadoo.US has created D-Safe(tm) a service designed to safeguard your valuable domain names by auto-renewing them upon expiration. Too often domain holders do not receive their renewal notices due to email and/or physical address changes only to find their domains registered by another party after they expire. D-Safe will ensure that your domain names remain your property by auto-renewing them for one additional year. D-Safe only works for those customers that paid by credit card. Customer agrees that if you paid by credit card for any domain name in your account that Yawadoo.US is authorized, but not required, to automatically charge your credit card and renew the applicable domains or services in your account on or before their respective renewal dates using the credit card information you have provided us, unless you have turned off D-Safe via your domain management interface. If you paid by check, wire or turned off D-Safe, you must renew manually following the steps above. If you do not wish to have your domains protected by D-Safe you may disable it for any domain simply by logging into our Domain Manager at: http://manage.Yawadoo.US. Click the domain you wish to disable D-Safe for, scroll to the bottom, and uncheck the box. If you do not disable D-Safe, you agree to allow Yawadoo.US to auto-charge your credit card on file in order to renew your domain for the minimum term of one year based on the registration price at the time of registration.

7. Expirations

7.1. Expired Domain Process Prior to the expiration date an email reminder will be sent to both the Registered User for which a domain name is associated and the billing contact listed with a domain.
Failure by or on behalf of the domain name holder to pay a renewal fee within the time specified in the notice shall result in cancellation of the registration.
Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that services including domain names are renewed. Yawadoo.US shall have no liability to either Customer or to any third party in connection with the renewal of domain names or services.

8. Responsibilities of Yawadoo.US

8.3. Yawadoo.US reserves the right and has absolute discretion to restrict or remove from its Service any domain or content that violates this Agreement or related policies or guidelines, or is otherwise objectionable or potentially infringing on any third party's rights or potentially in violation of any laws.

It is Yawadoo.US's policy to terminate repeat infringers. Yawadoo.US's right to take corrective action, however, does not obligate us to monitor or exert editorial control over the information made available for distribution via the Services. If Yawadoo.US takes corrective action due to such possible violation, Yawadoo.US shall not be obligated to refund to you any fees paid in advance of such corrective action.

9. Responsibilities of the Customer

This Paragraph sets forth the type of disputes for which you are required to submit to a mandatory administrative proceeding. These proceedings will be conducted before one of the administrative-dispute-resolution service providers listed at www.icann.org/udrp/approved-providers.htm (each, a "Provider").

a. Applicable Disputes
You are required to submit to a mandatory administrative proceeding in the event that a third party (a "complainant") asserts to the applicable Provider, in compliance with the Rules of Procedure, that

(i) your domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights; and

(ii) you have no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and

(iii) your domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.

In the administrative proceeding, the complainant must prove that each of these three elements are present.

b. Evidence of Registration and Use in Bad Faith
For the purposes of Paragraph 4(a)(iii), the following circumstances, in particular but without limitation, if found by the Panel to be present, shall be evidence of the registration and use of a domain name in bad faith:

(i) circumstances indicating that you have registered or you have acquired the domain name primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the domain name registration to the complainant who is the owner of the trademark or service mark or to a competitor of that complainant, for valuable consideration in excess of your documented out-of-pocket costs directly related to the domain name; or

(ii) you have registered the domain name in order to prevent the owner of the trademark or service mark from reflecting the mark in a corresponding domain name, provided that you have engaged in a pattern of such conduct; or

(iii) you have registered the domain name primarily for the purpose of disrupting the business of a competitor; or

(iv) by using the domain name, you have intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to your web site or other on-line location, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the complainant's mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of your web site or location or of a product or service on your web site or location.

c. How to Demonstrate Your Rights to and Legitimate Interests in the Domain Name in Responding to a Complaint
When you receive a complaint, you should refer to Paragraph 5 of the Rules of Procedure in determining how your response should be prepared. Any of the following circumstances, in particular but without limitation, if found by the Panel to be proved based on its evaluation of all evidence presented, shall demonstrate your rights or legitimate interests to the domain name for purposes of Paragraph 4(a)(ii):

(i) before any notice to you of the dispute, your use of, or demonstrable preparations to use, the domain name or a name corresponding to the domain name in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services; or

(ii) you (as an individual, business, or other organization) have been commonly known by the domain name, even if you have acquired no trademark or service mark rights; or

(iii) you are making a legitimate noncommercial or fair use of the domain name, without intent for commercial gain to misleadingly divert consumers or to tarnish the trademark or service mark at issue.

d. Selection of Provider
The complainant shall select the Provider from among those approved by ICANN by submitting the complaint to that Provider. The selected Provider will administer the proceeding, except in cases of consolidation as described in Paragraph 4(f).

The Rules of Procedure state the process for initiating and conducting a proceeding and for appointing the panel that will decide the dispute (the "Administrative Panel").

f. Consolidation
In the event of multiple disputes between you and a complainant, either you or the complainant may petition to consolidate the disputes before a single Administrative Panel. This petition shall be made to the first Administrative Panel appointed to hear a pending dispute between the parties. This Administrative Panel may consolidate before it any or all such disputes in its sole discretion, provided that the disputes being consolidated are governed by this Policy or a later version of this Policy adopted by ICANN.

g. Fees
All fees charged by a Provider in connection with any dispute before an Administrative Panel pursuant to this Policy shall be paid by the complainant, except in cases where you elect to expand the Administrative Panel from one to three panelists as provided in Paragraph 5(b)(iv) of the Rules of Procedure, in which case all fees will be split evenly by you and the complainant.

h. Our Involvement in Administrative Proceedings
We do not, and will not, participate in the administration or conduct of any proceeding before an Administrative Panel. In addition, we will not be liable as a result of any decisions rendered by the Administrative Panel.

i. Remedies
The remedies available to a complainant pursuant to any proceeding before an Administrative Panel shall be limited to requiring the cancellation of your domain name or the transfer of your domain name registration to the complainant.

j. Notification and Publication
The Provider shall notify us of any decision made by an Administrative Panel with respect to a domain name you have registered with us. All decisions under this Policy will be published in full over the Internet, except when an Administrative Panel determines in an exceptional case to redact portions of its decision.

k. Availability of Court Proceedings
The mandatory administrative proceeding requirements set forth in Paragraph 4 shall not prevent either you or the complainant from submitting the dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction for independent resolution before such mandatory administrative proceeding is commenced or after such proceeding is concluded. If an Administrative Panel decides that your domain name registration should be canceled or transferred, we will wait ten (10) business days (as observed in the location of our principal office) after we are informed by the applicable Provider of the Administrative Panel's decision before implementing that decision. We will then implement the decision unless we have received from you during that ten (10) business day period official documentation (such as a copy of a complaint, file-stamped by the clerk of the court) that you have commenced a lawsuit against the complainant in a jurisdiction to which the complainant has submitted under Paragraph 3(b)(xiii) of the Rules of Procedure. (In general, that jurisdiction is either the location of our principal office or of your address as shown in our Whois database. See Paragraphs 1 and 3(b)(xiii) of the Rules of Procedure for details.) If we receive such documentation within the ten (10) business day period, we will not implement the Administrative Panel's decision, and we will take no further action, until we receive (i) evidence satisfactory to us of a resolution between the parties; (ii) evidence satisfactory to us that your lawsuit has been dismissed or withdrawn; or (iii) a copy of an order from such court dismissing your lawsuit or ordering that you do not have the right to continue to use your domain name.

5. All Other Disputes and Litigation
All other disputes between you and any party other than us regarding your domain name registration that are not brought pursuant to the mandatory administrative proceeding provisions of Paragraph 4 shall be resolved between you and such other party through any court, arbitration or other proceeding that may be available.

6. Our Involvement in Disputes
We will not participate in any way in any dispute between you and any party other than us regarding the registration and use of your domain name. You shall not name us as a party or otherwise include us in any such proceeding. In the event that we are named as a party in any such proceeding, we reserve the right to raise any and all defenses deemed appropriate, and to take any other action necessary to defend ourselves.

7. Maintaining the Status Quo
We will not cancel, transfer, activate, deactivate, or otherwise change the status of any domain name registration under this Policy except as provided in Paragraph 3 above.

We reserve the right to cancel any transfer of a domain name registration to another holder that is made in violation of this subparagraph.

b. Changing Registrars
You may not transfer your domain name registration to another registrar during a pending administrative proceeding brought pursuant to Paragraph 4 or for a period of fifteen (15) business days (as observed in the location of our principal place of business) after such proceeding is concluded.

Registering a domain name solely for the purposes of (1) selling, trading or leasing the domain name for compensation, or (2) the unsolicited offering to sell, trade or lease the domain name for compensation shall not constitute a "bona fide business or commercial use" of that domain name.

1. Using or intending to use the domain name exclusively for personal, noncommercial purposes; or
   
2. Using or intending to use the domain name exclusively for the expression of noncommercial ideas (i.e., registering abcsucks.biz exclusively to criticize or otherwise express an opinion on the products or services of ABC company, with no other intended business or commercial purpose).
   

Violations
It will be a violation of the Restrictions for an Applicant to:

1. register and use a domain name contrary to the UDRP; or
   
2. use the registered domain name in a manner inconsistent with the definition of Ïbusiness or commercial useÓ contained herein.
   

Violations of the Restrictions may be grounds for cancellation of a registered .biz domain name, pursuant to the enforcement mechanism discussed below.

Enforcement
A violation of the Restrictions will be enforced on a case-by-case, fact specific basis under the processes set forth below:

1. Any allegation that a domain name is not used primarily for business or commercial purposes shall be enforced under the provisions of the Restrictions Dispute Resolution Process ('RDRP').
   
2. Any alleged violation of the RDRP, UDRP, and STOP must be brought by interested third parties in accordance with the policies and procedures set forth. Registry Operator will not review, monitor, or otherwise verify that any particular domain name is being used primarily for business or commercial purposes or that a domain name is being used in compliance with these processes.
   

   Registration Requirements
   Before the Registry Operator will accept applications for registration, all domain name applicants in the .biz TLD ('Applicants') must:
   

   1. Enter into an electronic or paper registration agreement with an ICANN-Accredited Registrar ('Registrar'), in accordance with the ICANN Registrar Accreditation Agreement ('Accreditation Agreement'). Such electronic or paper registration agreement shall include the following certifications:

      2. The registrant will keep the information provided above up to date.
         

       

   2. As part of a domain name registration application, the Applicant must certify that to the best of its knowledge:
      
      1. The registered domain name will be used in a manner consistent with the Restrictions above;
         
      2. The domain name registrant has the authority to enter into the registration agreement; and
         
      3. The registered domain name is reasonably related to the registrant's business or intended commercial purpose at the time of registration.
         

   Failure to comply with the above will result in failure of the Registry Operator to process an ApplicantÌs domain name application.
   

   Reservation
   Registry Operator reserves the right to deny, cancel or transfer any registration that it deems necessary, in its discretion, to protect the integrity and stability of the registry, to comply with any applicable laws, government rules or requirements, requests of law enforcement, in compliance with any dispute resolution process, or to avoid any liability, civil or criminal, on the part of Registry Operator, as well as its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors and employees.

   .NAME TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR DEFENSIVE REGISTRATIONS
   

   DEFENSIVE REGISTRATIONS
   Defensive Registrations allow owners of trademarks to exclusively pre-register on the .name space and create a protective barrier for their trademarks. A "Defensive Registration" is a registration granted to a registrant which aims to prevent a third party from registering either (i) any variation of a trademark (a Premium Defensive Registration), or (ii) an exact match of a trademark (a Standard Defensive Registration), which registration will not resolve within the domain name system.
   

   PHASES OF DEFENSIVE REGISTRATIONS
   (a) As a Defensive Registration Registrant ("Defensive Registrant"), you hereby certify that for Phase I Defensive Registrations ("Phase I Defensive Registrants"), you own valid and enforceable trademark or service mark registrations having national effect that issued prior to April 16, 2001 for strings that are identical to the textual or word elements, using ASCII characters only, subject to the same character and formatting restrictions as apply to all registrations in the Registry TLD. You understand that trademark or service mark registrations from the supplemental or equivalent Registry of any country, or from individual states or provinces of a nation, will not be accepted. Subject to the same character and formatting restrictions as apply to all registrations in the Registry TLD, if a trademark or service mark registration incorporates design elements, the ASCII character portion of that mark may qualify to be a Phase I Defensive Registration.
   (b) Phase II Defensive Registrants may apply for a Defensive Registration for any string or combination of strings.
   (c) You hereby certify that you have read, understood and will comply with the Eligibility Requirements, available in further detail at http://www.name/corporate/page/72/124/index.html;
   

   PROVISION OF REGISTRATION DATA
   (a) As part of the registration process, you are required to provide us with certain information and to update this information to keep it current, complete and accurate. You must provide contact information, including name, email address, postal address and telephone number, for use in disputes relating to the Defensive Registration. You understand and agree that this contact information will be provided as part of the Whois record for the Defensive Registration. You further understand that the foregoing registration data may be transferred outside of the European Community, such as to the United States, and you expressly consent to such export. Registry Operator may share such personal data with third parties that act as subcontractors to it for the purpose of this Agreement, and you agree that your personal data may be shared with the Registry Operator's subcontractors. You also agree that from time to time Registry Operator may share some of your personal data, such as your address and postcode, with third parties who are conducting, on behalf of Registry Operator, market analysis.
   (b) In addition to the information provided in subsection (a) above, Phase I Defensive Registrants must also provide (1) the name, in ASCII characters, of the trademark or service mark being registered; (2) the date the registration issued; (3) the country of registration; and (4) the registration number or other comparable identifier used by the registration authority
   (c) You hereby represent and warrant the data provided in the registration application is true, correct, up-to-date and complete and that you will continue to keep all of the information provided up-to-date. Your wilful provision of inaccurate or unreliable information, your wilful failure promptly to update information provided to us, or any failure to respond for over five (5) calendar days to our inquiries addressed to the email address of the administrative, billing or technical contact then appearing in the publicly available Whois directory with respect to a Defensive Registration(s) concerning the accuracy of contact details associated with any such Defensive Registration(s) registered by or through you or your account shall constitute a breach of this Agreement.
   

   DOMAIN NAME DISPUTE POLICY
   (a) If you registered a Defensive Registration, you agree that: (i) the Defensive Registration will be subject to challenge pursuant to the Eligibility Requirements Dispute Resolution Policy ("ERDRP") at http://www.name/corporate/downloads/erdrp.pdf, which is incorporated herein and made an integral part hereof; (ii) if the Defensive Registration is successfully challenged pursuant to the ERDRP, the Defensive Registrant will pay the challenge fees; and (iii) if a challenge is successful, then the Defensive Registration will be subject to the procedures of the ERDRP.
   (b) You further agree that if a Phase I Defensive Registration is successfully challenged on the basis that it did not meet the applicable Eligibility Requirements, the Defensive Registrant will thereafter be required to demonstrate, at its expense, that it meets the Eligibility Requirements for Phase I Defensive Registrations for all other Phase I Defensive Registrations that it registered within .name through any Registrar. In the event that the Defensive Registrant is unable to demonstrate the foregoing with respect to any such Phase I Defensive Registration(s), those Defensive Registration(s) will be cancelled.
   

   DEFENSIVE REGISTRATION DISPUTE POLICY MODIFICATIONS
   You agree that Registry Operator may modify the dispute policy. Registry Operator will post any such revised policy on its Web site at least thirty (30) calendar days before it becomes effective. You agree that, by maintaining the Defensive Registration after modifications to the dispute policy become effective, you have agreed to these modifications. You acknowledge that if you do not agree to any such modification, you may terminate this Agreement. We will not refund any fees paid by you if you terminate your Agreement with us.
   

   DEFENSIVE REGISTRATIONS DISPUTES
   You agree that, if your Defensive Registration is challenged by a third party, you will be subject to the provisions specified in our Defensive Registration dispute policy in effect at the time of the dispute. You agree that in the event a Defensive Registration dispute arises with any third party, you will indemnify and hold Yawadoo.US harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth below in this Agreement. If we are notified that a complaint has been filed with a judicial or administrative body regarding your Defensive Registration, you agree not to make any changes to your Defensive Registration record without our prior approval. We may not allow you to make changes to such Defensive Registration record until (i) we are directed to do so by the judicial or administrative body, or (ii) we receive notification by you and the other party contesting your Defensive Registration and use of our domain name registration services that the dispute has been settled.
   

   CONSENT
   Defensive Registrants may be asked to give their consent to allow individuals to share a part of their space. For example, if you have filed a Defensive Registration on PQR (which blocks out ANYSTRING.PQR.name and PQR.ANYSTRING.name), you may be asked to give consent to John Pqr to register JOHN.PQR.name if he can prove that PQR is his name. In such a circumstance, you will have 10 days to respond to a request for consent.
   

   RESERVATION OF RIGHTS
   Yawadoo.US and Registry Operator, expressly reserve the right to deny, cancel or transfer any Defensive Registration that it deems necessary, in its discretion, to protect the integrity and stability of the Registry, to comply with any applicable laws, government rules or requirements, requests of law enforcement, in compliance with any dispute resolution process, or to avoid any liability, civil or criminal, on the part of Yawadoo.US and/or Registry Operator, as well as their affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors and employees. Yawadoo.US and Registry Operator also reserve the right to freeze a Defensive Registration during a resolution of a dispute.

.UK TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR DEFENSIVE REGISTRATIONS

Nominet is the Registry for all internet Domain Names ending in .uk. You can find out more information about Nominet from their web site at http://www.nominet.org.uk. In these terms and conditions, the term "Agent" refers to Yawadoo.US.

1. What we will do

   1.1.	We will process your application to register a Domain Name and consider whether or not to accept it in accordance with the criteria laid down in the Rules;
   1.2.	If your application is accepted, we will inform you or your Agent. If your application is rejected, we will inform you or your Agent as soon as reasonably practicable and return to you or your Agent (as appropriate) any payments received;
   1.3.	Unless the current Rules of the relevant sub-domain state to the contrary, we will register Domain Names on a first come, first served basis. Until we accept your application, there is no guarantee that the Domain Name you applied for will be entered in the Register as such. We therefore recommend that you do not take any action in respect of a Domain Name until you have received confirmation from us that your application has been accepted.
   1.4.	After your application has been accepted, we will enter the Domain Name and other relevant details (namely the data described in clause 6 below, together with details of your Agent, if any) in the Domain Name register database for the requested second level of the .uk top level domain (the "Register").
   1.5.	We will use the information in the Register entry for the Domain Name to enable the resolution of requests for the Domain Name, by pointing to the authoritative name servers listed in the Register Entry for the Domain Name. For further information about the technical requirements for registering a Domain Name, please contact your Agent.
   1.6.	After your application has been accepted and we have received your registration fee, we will issue you with a registration certificate and a reply form.
   1.7.	Subject to clause 8 below, we will transfer your Domain Name and update the Register accordingly on receipt of correctly completed transfer documentation from you and any relevant transfer fee applicable at the time of transfer. We will not transfer a Domain Name whilst it is the subject of legal proceedings or proceedings under our Dispute Resolution Service.
   1.8.	Please note that subject to clauses 8.5 and 8.6 we will not refund any fees after your Domain Name and details have been entered in the Register.
   1.9.	Subject to clauses 8.7 and 8.8 below, we will only make changes to the details contained on the Register (other than the registrant field), if we receive instructions and approval from you or your Agent.
   1.10.	Subject to clauses 8.7 and 8.8, we shall only alter the details contained in the "registrant" field of the Register if we receive authorisation directly from you.

   
    
2. What you must do

   2.1.	You must ensure that we receive the registration or renewal fee within one month after the issue of our invoice. For the avoidance of doubt, if you use an Agent it will be your responsibility to ensure that the Agent has paid the registration or renewal fee to us within one month of the issue of our invoice.
   2.2.	You must sign and return to us the reply form which we will send to you after registration or renewal as appropriate.
   2.3.	You must inform us promptly of any change in your registered details, and those of your Agent if applicable. It will be your responsibility to maintain and update any details you submit to us and to ensure that your details are up to date, and accurate. In particular, it is your responsibility directly or by your Agent to ensure that we have your full and correct postal address.
   2.4.	You must promptly inform us of any court proceedings brought in respect of the Domain Name.
   2.5.	Any name server listed in the Register entry for the Domain Name must respond authoritatively to requests for the Domain Name at all reasonable times.

   
    
3. Renewal of your Domain Name Registration

   3.1.	The registration period is two years from the date of entry into the Register of your Domain Name registration. Provided you pay us your renewal fee and subject to clause 8 below, you will have the right to renew the Domain Name registration by entering into a new Contract with us for further periods of two years.
   3.2.	Subject to clause 3.3 below, when the Domain Name registration falls due for renewal, we will contact your Agent (at the Agent's address appearing in the Register) to request payment of the relevant renewal fee.
   3.3.	If no Agent is listed on the Register entry for the Domain Name, or if the Register entry for the Domain Name indicates that you wish to be invoiced direct, we will request payment of the relevant renewal fee direct from you at the registrant address appearing in the Register.
   3.4.	If we fail to receive the renewal fee within thirty (30) days of our making a request for the renewal fee, we will suspend your registration for at least 6 weeks and if we do not receive payment within the suspension period we will cancel your registration without further notice to you. During any period of suspension, we will not point to any name servers listed in the Register entry for the Domain Name, and you will be unable to use or transfer the Domain Name.

10.3.	The internet is an emerging and evolving medium and the regulatory and administrative framework under which we operate is constantly developing. For these reasons we reserve the right to make reasonable modifications to the terms and conditions of this Contract (including the Policy, Procedure and Rules) at any time during the term. We will only do so when we have good reason. No change will have the effect of requiring an increase in fees from you in advance of the next renewal of the Domain Name. Except where we are acting in pursuance of a statutory requirement or a court order, changes will be implemented across the board in all of our Domain Name contracts following a process of open public consultation. Each such change will be published in advance (where practicable, 30 days in advance) on our web site: http://www.nominet.org.uk/ and will become binding and effective upon the date specified therein. You should review our web site regularly in order to be aware of all such changes. If you do not agree with any change or proposed change to these terms and conditions you are entitled to terminate the Contract by providing us with thirty (30) days notice in writing, in which case you will receive a pro-rata refund of your registration fee in respect of any unexpired portion of the term.

Except as otherwise set out in the Policy and Procedure the notice will be effective: if delivered, on delivery; if sent by fax or email, on the date of sending; and if by post, on the date of posting.
