1. What We Do

AAA Domain Register is an agent of an accredited registrar with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") for the .com, .net and .org TLDs.  ICANN oversees the .com, .net and .org TLDs.  All domain name registrations we register for .com, .net and .org are not effective until we have delivered the domain name registration information you provide us to the registry administrator for the .com, .net or .org TLDs, as applicable, and the registry administrator puts into effect your domain name registration.  Currently, the registry administrator for the .com, .net and .org TLDs is Network Solutions, Inc.

You agree and acknowledge that AAA Domain Register is not liable or responsible in any way for any errors, omissions or any other actions by the registry administrator arising out of or related to your application and receipt of, or failure to receive, a domain name registration.

You further agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the registry administrator and its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) arising out of, or related to, your domain name registration.

2. Fees

As consideration for the domain name registration services provided by AAA Domain Register to you, you agree to pay AAA Domain Register, prior to the effectiveness of the desired domain name registration, the then-current amounts set forth in the AAA Domain Register price schedule for the initial registration of the domain name and, should you choose to renew the registration, the then-current amounts set forth in the AAA Domain Register price schedule for any subsequent renewals of the registration.  To view the current rates for using AAA Domain Register's domain name services, please see the AAA Domain Register FAQ.  All fees are non-refundable, in whole or in part, even if your domain name registration is suspended, cancelled or transferred prior to the end of your then current registration term.  AAA Domain Register reserves the right to change fees, surcharges, renewal fees or to institute new fees at any time, for any reason, at its sole discretion.

Your requested domain name will not be registered unless we receive actual payment of the registration or renewal fee.

In the event of a charge back by a credit card company (or similar action by another payment provider allowed by us) in connection with the payments of the registration or renewal fee for your domain name registration, you agree and acknowledge that the domain name registration shall be transferred to AAA Domain Register as the paying entity for that registration to the registry and that we reserve all rights regarding such domain name including, without limitation, the right to make the domain name available to other parties for purchase.  We will reinstate your domain name registration solely at our discretion, and subject to our receipt of the initial registration or renewal fee and our then-current reinstatement fee, currently set at US$200.

You will be notified thirty (30) days prior to when a renewal fee is due.  Should a renewal fee go unpaid within the time specified in a second notice or reminder regarding renewal, your registration will be cancelled.  Payment must be made by credit card or such other method as we may indicate in the registration application or renewal form.  We will renew your name for you for the term specified provided your credit card or other billing information is available and up to date, unless you instruct us otherwise within the time specified.  If your billing information is not accurate and you wish to renew your domain name registration, we will contact you to update this information and charge you accordingly.

3. Dispute Policy

You agree to be bound by the current AAA Domain Register Domain Name Dispute Policy ("Dispute Policy") which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. The Dispute Policy can be found at http://www.aaadomainregister.com/dispute.html. Any disputes regarding the right to use your domain name will be subject to the Dispute Policy. AAA Domain Register may modify the Dispute Policy in its sole discretion at any time. Your continued designation of AAA Domain Register as the registrar of your domain name after modification to the Dispute Policy becomes effective constitutes your acceptance of those modifications. You agree that you will be subject to the provisions specified in the Dispute Policy in effect at the time a third party challenges your domain name.

4. Use of Your Information

As part of the registration process, you are required to provide certain information and to update this information to keep it current, complete and accurate.

Additionally, you acknowledge that ICANN may impose guidelines, limits and/or requirements that relate to the amount and type of information that AAA Domain Register may or must make available to the public or to private entities.

IN NO EVENT SHALL AAA Domain Register'S MAXIMUM LIABILITY EXCEED FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($500.00 USD).

If you fail to cure the breach within such period, AAA Domain Register shall have the right in its sole discretion to delete, revoke, suspend, transfer or otherwise modify your registration of the domain name.

You also agree that AAA Domain Register shall have the right in its sole discretion to delete, revoke, suspend, transfer or otherwise modify a domain name registration at such time as AAA Domain Register receives a properly authenticated order from a court of competent jurisdiction, or arbitration award, requiring the deletion, revocation, suspension, transfer or modification of the domain name registration.

11. Right of Refusal

In the event that we do not register or reserve your domain name or provide other requested services, or we delete your domain name within such thirty (30) day period, we agree to refund your applicable fees paid. You agree that AAA Domain Register shall not be liable to you for any loss or damages that may result from our refusal to provide any such services, or the deletion of your domain name.

13. Modifications to Agreement

During the term of this Agreement, you agree that AAA Domain Register may revise, amend or modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the Dispute Policy. Any such change will be binding and effective immediately on the date on which the revised Agreement is posted on our web site at http://www.aaadomainregister.com/dispute.html, or on which notification of such changes is sent to you by e-mail or United States mail, as applicable. You agree to review AAA Domain Registerâs web site periodically to keep track of any such changes to the Agreement. Such changes will remain binding on you until such time as AAA Domain Register is no longer the registrar of your domain name. If any such change constitutes a materially adverse change to you, you may change the term of this Agreement.

Except as otherwise expressly provided above, no provision of this Agreement, including the Dispute Policy, may be amended or modified by you except by means of a written document signed by AAA Domain Register.

14. General

This Agreement, including without limitation the fee schedule and the Dispute Policy, together with all amendments or modifications to any of them, constitutes the complete and exclusive agreement between you and AAA Domain Register, and supersedes and governs all prior proposals, agreements, or other communications.

If your domain name is parked on AAA Domain Register's servers but not in active use, you agree that AAA Domain Register may point such domain name to an under construction or registered or reserved style page designated by AAA Domain Register until you request otherwise.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the parties. The failure of AAA Domain Register to require your performance of any provision hereof shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by AAA Domain Register of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or be so held by applicable court decision, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render this Agreement unenforceable or invalid as a whole. AAA Domain Register will amend or replace such provision with one that is valid and enforceable and which achieves, to the extent possible, the original objectives and intent of AAA Domain Register as reflected in the original provision. All provisions of sections 1 through 14 of this Agreement shall survive the termination or other expiration of this Agreement.
