REGISTRATION AGREEMENT:

This Registration Agreement ("Agreement") is between you (as an individual) or your company, association or other enterprise (hereinafter referred to as "Registrant") and DotSpeedy LLC (hereinafter referred to as "DotSpeedy"). The Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions to register an Internet domain name through DotSpeedy. To complete the registration process, Registrant must read and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement and the accompanying UDRP, and any rules or policies that are or may be published by Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") under the Agreement between DotSpeedy and ICANN ("ICANN Agreement"). Registrant acknowledges that DotSpeedy may modify this Agreement unilaterally and without prior notice if necessary to comply with its ICANN and Registries Agreements.

1. Fees.

As consideration for the domain name registration services provided by DotSpeedy, Registrant shall pay all applicable initial registration fees and renewal fees. Registrant will be notified when renewal fees are due, and it shall be Registrant's responsibility to ensure that such fees are paid. Should these fees go unpaid by the time specified in the renewal notice, Registrant's registration will be canceled.

All fees are non-refundable. Registrant will be notified when renewal fees are due. Should these fees go unpaid by the time specified in the renewal notice, DotSpeedy shall have the right to cancel the registration and delete Registrant's domain name. Registrant agrees that DotSpeedy shall have no liability whatsoever with respect to any such cancellation. Registrant further agrees that DotSpeedy shall have the exclusive right to act as registrar of Registrant's domain name for the term of registration, as specified during the order process and any subsequent renewals.

Payment may be made via one of the methods accepted by DotSpeedy at the time of registration. For credit card payments, Registrant's domain name will not be registered unless we receive appropriate authorization from Registrant's credit card company. 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 Registrant's domain name registration, Registrant agrees and acknowledges that the domain name registration shall be transferred to DotSpeedy 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 Registrant's 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$250.

2. Domain Name Renewals.

DotSpeedy will send renewal notice(s) prior to expiration of domain name to Registrant's contact email per Whois record. Registrant may renew domain name at any time during the registration term prior to expiration at the then current renewal rates. If Registrant fails to renew the domain name prior to expiration, the domain name will be put on REGISTRAR-HOLD and Registrant will have additional 30 (thirty) calendar days after the expiration to renew the domain name. If the domain name is not renewed during the first 30 (thirty days) following the domain expiration date, the domain name may be placed in Redemption Grace Period during which the Registrant may request the domain name to be reinstated at the then-current reinstatement fee (section 1 of this Agreement).

If Registrant does not renew the domain name prior to the end of the Redemption Grace Period DotSpeedy may, at its sole discretion, delete the domain name or transfer it to another registrant on your (the previous Registrant's) behalf.

3. Term of Agreement. Modifications.

The term of this agreement shall continue in full force and effect as long as Registrant has any domain name registered through DotSpeedy. Registrant agrees not to transfer any domain name registered through DotSpeedy to another domain name registrar during the first sixty (60) days from its initial registration date.

Registrant agrees that DotSpeedy may modify this agreement from time to time. DotSpeedy may also discontinue services it provides under this agreement. Registrant agrees to be bound by any changes DotSpeedy may reasonably make to this agreement. Any changes become effective immediately upon posting on DotSpeedy.com web site, and Registrants are obligated and encouraged to review this Agreement periodically for any such changes. Should Registrant elect to cancel agreement with DotSpeedy Registrant will not receive a refund for any fees that may have been paid to DotSpeedy.

Registrant agrees that DotSpeedy shall not be bound by any representations made by third parties who Registrant may use to purchase services from DotSpeedy, and that any statements of a general nature, which may be posted on DotSpeedy's web site or be contained in DotSpeedy's promotional materials, will not bind DotSpeedy.

4. Use of Registrant's Information. Personal Data.

As part of the registration process, Registrant (you or your company) is required to provide certain information and to update this information to keep it current, complete and accurate. This information includes (i) Registrant's 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 number, and fax number if available of the administrative contact 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. (See ICANN Agreement, Section II,7,a).

Registrant acknowledges 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 Registrant's domain name if Registrant does not respond within 15 days (See ICANN Agreement, Section II,7,a, paragraph 2).

If Registrant licenses use of a domain name to a third party, Registrant is nonetheless the holder of record of the domain name and is responsible for providing Registrant's own full contact information and for providing and updating accurate technical, administrative, and zone contact information. (See ICANN Agreement, Section II,7,a, paragraph 3.)

Registrant acknowledges that DotSpeedy will make some of the information that the Registrant provides during the registration process publicly available as required by ICANN. Additionally, Registrant acknowledges that ICANN may impose guidelines, limits and/or requirements that relate to the amount and type of information that DotSpeedy may or must make available to the public or to private entities. DotSpeedy will not otherwise disclose Registrant's information to any third party unless it is required to maintain Registrant's domain name. Registrant may request a copy of Registrant's information in DotSpeedy's possession to review, modify or update such information. (For details, see ICANN Agreement Section II,.J.7.a & b. DotSpeedy only requires those data elements specified in a, and disclosed only those elements as required by this section).

Registrant represents that, to the best of Registrant's knowledge and belief, neither the registration of Registrant's domain nor the manner in which the domain is directly or indirectly used infringes the legal rights of a third party (See ICANN Agreement, Section II,7,g).

DotSpeedy will take reasonable precautions to protect the information it obtains from the Registrant from our loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure or use, or alteration or destruction, of that information. DotSpeedy shall have no liability to Registrant or any third party to the extent such reasonable precautions are taken.

5. Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP).

Registrant agrees to be bound by the current ICANN Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy ("UDRP") which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. The UDRP can be found at http://www.dotspeedy.com/legal/udrp.htm. Latest UDRP Policy version and related materials are available at ICANN's website at http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp.htm. Any disputes regarding the right to use Registrant's domain name will be subject to the UDRP. ICANN may modify the UDRP in its sole discretion at any time. Registrant's continued use of Registrant's domain name after modification to the UDRP constitutes Registrant's acceptance of those modifications. If Registrant does not agree to such a modification, Registrant may request that Registrant's domain name be deleted.

Registrant agrees that it will be subject to the provisions specified in the UDRP in effect at the time Registrant's domain name is challenged by a third party. Registrant also agrees that in the event a domain name dispute arises with any third party, Registrant will indemnify and hold DotSpeedy harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the UDRP.

REGISTRANT ALSO AGREES THAT DOTSPEEDY LLC AND ANY APPLICABLE REGISTRY OPERATOR, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO AFILIAS LIMITED, NEULEVEL INC., WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY OF ANY KIND FOR ANY LOSS OR LIABILITY RESULTING FROM THE PROCEEDINGS AND PROCESSES RELATING TO THE SUNRISE PERIOD, LAND RUSH PERIOD, AND/OR THE DOMAIN NAME APPLICATION PHASE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION: (A) REGISTRANT'S ABILITY OR INABILITY TO OBTAIN AND/OR REGISTER A DOMAIN NAME DURING THESE PERIODS, AND (B) THE RESULTS OF ANY DISPUTE OVER SUNRISE REGISTRATION AND/OR DOMAIN NAME APPLICATIONS.

6. Use Policies. Restriction of Services, Right of Refusal.

Registrant agrees not to use the services provided by DotSpeedy, or to allow or enable others, to use the services provided by DotSpeedy for the purpose of:

* The transmission of unsolicited email (Spam).
* Repetitive, high volume inquires into any of the services provided by DotSpeedy (i.e. domain name availability, etc.).

In the event that unsolicited commercial advertisements ("spamming") is illegal or against ICANN rules, DotSpeedy may be required to suspend or cancel the domain name. Similarly, if Registrant uses Registrant's domain name in connection with unlawful activity, DotSpeedy may be required to suspend or cancel the domain name.

Registrant agrees to use the domain name only in accordance with applicable laws.

Registrant agrees that DotSpeedy, in its sole discretion and without liability to Registrant, may refuse to accept the registration of any domain name. DotSpeedy may also in its sole discretion and without liability to Registrant delete the registration of any domain name during the first thirty (30) days after registration has taken place. DotSpeedy LLC further reserves the right to suspend or cancel Registrant's domain name in the event that Registrant uses the domain name to send unsolicited commercial advertisements in contradiction to either applicable laws or customary acceptable usage policies of the Internet, or if the domain name is used in connection with unlawful or morally objectionable activities. Morally objectionable activities will include, but not be limited to: activities designed to defame, embarrass, harm, abuse, threaten, slander or harass third parties; activities prohibited by the laws of the United States and/or foreign countries and territories in which Registrant conducts business; activities designed to encourage unlawful behavior by others, such as hate crimes, terrorism and child pornography; activities that are tortuous, vulgar, obscene, invasive of the privacy of a third party, racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable; activities designed to impersonate the identity of a third party; and activities designed to harm minors in any way.

7. Agents and Licenses.

Registrant agrees that, if Registrant's domain name is registered on Registrant's behalf by anyone acting as Registrant's agent (e.g., an Internet Service Provider, advertising agency, employee, etc.), Registrant is nonetheless bound as a principal by all terms and conditions provided herein, including the UDRP.

Registrant agrees that if Registrant licenses the use of Registrant's domain name to a third party, Registrant remains the domain name holder, and remains responsible for all obligations under this Agreement. (See ICANN Agreement, Section II.J.7.a paragraph 3: "Any SLD holder that intends to license use of a domain name to a third party is nonetheless the SLD holder of record and is responsible for providing its own full contact information and for providing and updating accurate technical and administrative contact information adequate to facilitate timely resolution of any problems that arise in connection with the SLD. An SLD holder licensing use of an SLD according to this provision shall accept liability for harm caused by wrongful use of the SLD, unless it promptly discloses the identity of the licensee to a party providing the SLD holder reasonable evidence of actionable harm.")

8. Limitation of Liability.

REGISTRANT AGREES THAT DOTSPEEDY WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO REGISTRANT 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 REGISTRANT'S DOMAIN NAME, (c) ACCESS DELAYS OR ACCESS INTERRUPTIONS TO DOTSPEEDY'S REGISTRATION SYSTEM; (d) THE NON-DELIVERY OR MISDELIVERY OF DATA BETWEEN REGISTRANT AND DOTSPEEDY ; (e) EVENTS BEYOND DOTSPEEDY'S REASONABLE CONTROL; (f) THE PROCESSING OF THIS APPLICATION; (g) THE PROCESSING OF ANY MODIFICATION TO THE RECORD ASSOCIATED WITH REGISTRANT'S DOMAIN NAME, (h) THE FAILURE OF REGISTRANT OR REGISTRANT'S AGENT TO PAY ANY FEES HEREUNDER; OR (i) THE APPLICATION OF THE UDRP. FURTHER, DOTSPEEDY 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 DOTSPEEDY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL DOTSPEEDY'S MAXIMUM LIABILITY EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY REGISTRANT TO DOTSPEEDY FOR REGISTRATION OF REGISTRANT'S DOMAIN NAME DURING THE PRIOR 3 YEARS UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. BECAUSE SOME STATES (AND COUNTRIES) DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN SUCH STATES (OR COUNTRIES), OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

Registrant also agrees to release, indemnify and hold DotSpeedy harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the UDRP. When DotSpeedy is threatened with suit by a third party, DotSpeedy may seek written assurances from Registrant concerning Registrant's promise to indemnify DotSpeedy; Registrant's failure to provide those assurances may be considered by DotSpeedy to be a breach of the Agreement and may result in deactivation of the domain name.

Registrant further agrees that this indemnification obligation shall survive the termination or expiration of this Registration Agreement.

10. Representations and Warranties.

Registrant represents and warrants that all information provided by Registrant in connection with Registrant's registration is complete and accurate.
