This Registration Agreement ("Agreement") sets forth the terms
and conditions of your use of "AAA Domain Register" domain name
registration services to register an Internet domain name, as
well as your registration of that domain name. To complete the
registration process, you must acknowledge that you have read,
understood, and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions
of this Agreement, the accompanying dispute policy and any rules
or policies that are or may be published by AAA Domain Register
from time to time. This Agreement will become effective when

of a prohibited domain name.

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. This information includes (i)
your full name, postal address, e-mail address, voice telephone
number, and fax number if available; (ii) the name of an authorized
person for contact purposes in the case of a registrant that is
an organization, association, or corporation; (iii) the IP addresses
of the primary nameserver and any secondary nameservers for the
domain name; (iv) the corresponding names of those nameservers; (v) the full name,
postal address, e-mail address, voice telephone number, and fax
number if available of the technical contact for the domain name;
(vi) the full name, postal address, e-mail address, voice telephone

for the domain name; (vii) the name, postal address, e-mail address,
voice telephone number, and fax number if available of the zone
contact for the domain name; and (viii) any remark concerning
the registered domain name that should appear in the Whois data.
You acknowledge that willfully providing inaccurate information
or willfully failing to update information promptly will constitute
a material breach of this Agreement and will be a basis for cancellation
of your domain name. If you license use of a domain name to a
third party, you are nonetheless the holder of record of the domain
name and are responsible for providing your own full contact information
and for providing and updating accurate technical, administrative,
and zone contact information.
You acknowledge that AAA Domain Register will make some of the
information that you provide during the registration process publicly
available as required by ICANN. 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.
Additionally, as further consideration for the services provided
by AAA Domain Register, we may disclose such information to other
third parties. You may request a copy of your information in AAA
Domain Register's possession to review, modify or update such
information.
5. Use Policies
You agree to use your domain name only in accordance with applicable
laws.
6. Agents and Licenses
You agree that if your domain name is registered on your behalf
by anyone acting as your agent (e.g., an Internet Service Provider,
employee, etc.), you are nonetheless bound as a principal by all
terms and conditions provided herein, including the Dispute Policy.
You agree that if you license the use of your domain name to a
third party, you re-main the domain name holder, and remain responsible
for all obligations under this Agreement.
7. Limitation of Liability
YOU AGREE THAT AAA Domain Register WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR
ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY LOSS THAT MAY OCCUR DUE TO (A) ANY LOSS
OF REGISTRATION OF A DOMAIN NAME, (B) THE USE OF YOUR DOMAIN NAME,
(C) ACCESS DELAYS OR ACCESS INTERRUPTIONS TO AAA Domain RegisterâS
REGISTRATION SYSTEM; (D) THE NON-DELIVERY OR MISDELIVERY OF DATA
BETWEEN YOU AND AAA Domain Register; (E) EVENTS BEYOND AAA Domain
Register'S REASONABLE CONTROL; (F) THE PROCESSING OF YOUR APPLICATION;
(G) THE PROCESSING OF ANY MODIFICATION TO THE RECORD ASSOCIATED
WITH YOUR DOMAIN NAME, (H) THE FAILURE OF YOU OR YOUR AGENT TO
PAY ANY FEES HEREUNDER; OR (I) THE APPLICATION OF THE DISPUTE
POLICY. FURTHER, AAA Domain Register WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR 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 AAA Domain Register HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY
OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL AAA Domain Register'S MAXIMUM
LIABILITY EXCEED FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($500.00 USD). 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.
8. Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless AAA Domain Register,
its affiliates and business partners, and any applicable domain
name registry, including without limitation Network Solutions,
Inc., and the directors, officers, employees and agents of each
of them, from and against any and all claims, actions, losses,
damages, expenses and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees
and expenses, arising out of or relating to (i) your domain name
registration, (ii) any breach by you of this Agreement, including
the Dispute Policy, or (iii) any third party claim, action, or
demand related to your domain name or the use thereof.
9. Representations and Warranties
You represent and warrant that all information provided by you
in connection with your registration is complete and accurate
and that you have full capacity and authority to enter into this
Agreement. AAA Domain Register makes no representations or warranties
of any kind in connection with this Agreement. AAA Domain Register
does not represent or warrant that registration of your domain
name will immunize you from challenges to your domain name.
10. Breach and Revocation
You must remedy any breach of your obligations under this Agreement
within 30 days after notice by AAA Domain Register. 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
AAA Domain Register, in its sole discretion, reserves the right
(i) to refuse to register or reserve your chosen domain name and
(ii) to provide any other service requested. Further, AAA Domain
Register reserves the right to delete your domain name within
thirty (30) days after receipt by AAA Domain Register of payment
for such services, or the date of registration of your domain
name, if later. 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.
12. Governing Law
This Agreement, your rights and obligations and all actions contemplated
by this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the United
States of America and the State of Ohio, as if the Agreement was
a contract wholly entered into and wholly performed within the
State of Ohio. Any action to enforce this Agreement or any matter
relating to your use of the AAA Domain Register site shall be
brought exclusively in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Ohio or in the state courts of Franklin County,
Ohio.
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.
