MASTER DOMAIN
REGISTRATION AGREEMENT
THIS REGISTRATION AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), is
between Tucows Domains Inc. ("Tucows") and you, on behalf of yourself
or the entity you represent ("Registrant"), as offered through
__________________ ___________________________, the Reseller participating in
Tucows' distribution channel for domain name registrations. Any reference to
"Registry" or "Registry Operator" shall refer to the
registry administrator of the applicable top-level domain ("TLD").
This Agreement explains Tucows' obligations to Registrant, and Registrant's
obligations to Tucows, for the domain registration services. By agreeing to the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Registrant agrees to be bound
by the rules and regulations set forth in this Agreement, and by a registry for
that particular TLD.
DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION. Domain name registrations are for
a limited term, which ends on the expiration date communicated to the
Registrant. A domain name submitted through Tucows will be deemed active when
the relevant registry accepts the Registrant's application and activates
Registrant's domain name registration or renewal. Tucows cannot guarantee that
Registrant will obtain a desired domain name, even if an inquiry indicates that
a domain name is available at the time of application. Tucows is not
responsible for any inaccuracies or errors in the domain name registration or
renewal process.
FEES. Registrant agrees to pay Reseller the
applicable service fees prior to the registration or renewal of a domain. All
fees payable here under are non-refundable even if Registrant's domain name
registration is suspended, cancelled or transferred prior to the end of your
current registration term.
TERM. This Agreement will remain in
effect during the term of the domain name registration as selected, recorded
and paid for at the time of registration or renewal. Should the domain name be
transferred to another registrar, the terms and conditions of this Agreement
shall cease.
EXPIRATION, RENEWAL AND FORFEITURE.
The registered domain name will expire on the expiration date specified in the
registration term, and as communicated to the Registrant. Registrant will
receive reminders immediately prior to the expiration inviting Registrant to
renew the domain name. In the event that Registrant fails to renew the domain
name in a timely fashion, the registration will expire and Tucows may, at its
discretion, elect to assume the registration and may hold it in its own
account, delete it, or sell it to a third party. During the period following
the expiration of a domain name, the domain name will cease to resolve, the
Whois registration records may be revised to include that of Tucows or its
reseller, and visitors to Registrant's website may be directed to a default web
page. This default web page may feature advertisements posted by Tucows for its
own account. Registrant acknowledges and agrees that Registrant's right and
interest in a domain name ceases upon its expiration. Registrant is solely
responsible for informing itself of the date of expiration and renewing its
registration in a timely manner. If Tucows, in its sole discretion, elects to
renew the registration, Registrant will be entitled to a grace period of forty
(40) days during which Registrant may re-register the domain name. Additional
costs for the redemption and re-registration will apply.
EXPIRED REGISTRATION RECOVERY POLICY. Domain
expiration notices will be sent via email thirty (30) days and five (5) days
prior to a domain expiration date and three (3) days after a domain expires.
Renewal, post-expiration renewal and redemptions fees are published at https://opensrs.com/services/domains/domain-pricing/.
Reseller's fees may differ.
REGISTRANT INFORMATION AND
DATA_SHARING. Data required for the registration of a domain name varies
by top-level domain. The required data for a domain name registration (“Minimum
Data”) will be presented at the time of registration or renewal and may include
up to:
·
Name and postal address of the
Registered Name Holder;
·
Registered name;
·
Names of the primary nameserver and
secondary nameserver(s) for the Registered Name;
·
Name, postal address, e-mail address,

the domain name; and
·
Name, postal address, e-mail address,

The Minimum Data will be shared with Tucows and the relevant authoritative registry services provider for your top-level domain. The identity of the authoritative registry services provider can be found at https://www.iana.org/whois. The Minimum Data for domains in any TLD you have registered can be found in the Data Use Information Page.
ACCURATE INFORMATION. Registrant
represents and warrants that:
·
The statements that Registrant makes in
connection with the domain name registration, maintenance, or renewal are
complete and accurate;
·
Registrant information will be kept
current;
·
Registrant will not and will not permit
others to use the domain name in violation of any ICANN or registry policies,
applicable laws or regulations, or legal rights of others;
·
Registrant will respond to inquiries
from Tucows addressed to the email address of the Registrant, the
administrative, billing or technical contact with respect to a domain name
concerning the accuracy of contact details.
Registrant
acknowledges that a breach of this Section 8 will constitute a material breach
of the Agreement, which will entitle either Tucows or a registry to terminate
this Agreement immediately upon such breach without any refund and without
notice to Registrant.
ACCOUNT REVIEW, DATA MODIFICATION OR
DELETION. To access, view, update, delete or download data associated
with your domain name registration, you must be signed into your account. If
you make a request to delete your personal data and that data is necessary for
the products or services you have purchased, the request will be honored only
to the extent it is no longer necessary for any services purchased or required
for our legitimate business purposes or legal or contractual record keeping
requirements. In some cases, when data is necessary for the provisioning of
service, deletion of data may cancel or suspend the services you have
purchased. If you have difficulty accessing your data, modifying it, or
deleting it, you may request assistance by sending email to DPA @ Tucows.com or
using the contact information at https://opensrs.com/privacy-policy/.
ICANN-REQUIRED DISCLOSURES. Domain
name registration requires sharing the Registrant's information, in whole or in
part, with the applicable Registry Operator and with ICANN. Both Tucows and the
Registry Operator may be required to archive this information with a
third-party escrow service. Further, Registrant represents and warrants that,
if Registrant is providing information about a third party, Registrant has
notified the third party of the required disclosures and the purpose for the
disclosures and Registrant has obtained the third party's consent to such
disclosure. ICANN may establish or modify the guidelines, limits or
requirements that relate to the amount and type of information that Tucows may
or must make available to the public or to private entities, and the manner in
which such information is made available.
SUSPENSION AND CANCELLATION. Tucows
may in its sole discretion, suspend or cancel Registrant's domain name
registration:
·
if Registrant breaches this Agreement;
·
if Registrant fails to provide payment
or accurate contact or billing information;
·
in the event
there was an error in the registration process for such domain name;
·
as required by ICANN or a Registry
Operator;
·
to protect the integrity and stability
of Tucows and any applicable registry;

government rules, requests of law enforcement and court orders;

criminal.

is bound by all ICANN consensus policies and all policies of any relevant
Registry Operator, including the Uniform Rapid Suspension Procedure, the
Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution policy (UDRP), along with the UDRP rules
and all supplemental rules of any UDRP provider. ICANN may change the UDRP at
any time. If a third party challenges the registration or reservation of the
Registrant's domain name, Registrant will be subject to the provisions
specified in the dispute policy adopted by the applicable registry. In the
event a domain name dispute arises, Registrant will
indemnify and hold Tucows harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions
contained in the applicable policy. If Tucows is notified that a complaint has
been filed with a judicial or administrative body regarding a domain name,
Tucows may, at its sole discretion, suspend use of the domain name and the
ability to make modifications to the registration records until:
·
Tucows is directed to do so by the
judicial or administrative body, or
·
Tucows receives notification from both
parties that the dispute has been settled.
If
Registrant or Registrant's domain name becomes the subject of litigation,
Tucows may deposit control of Registrant's domain name record into the registry
of the judicial body by supplying a party with a registrar certificate.
WHOIS PRIVACY SERVICE.
If Registrant elects to use the Whois privacy registration service, the
following terms and conditions will apply:
·
The publicly available Registrant

a unique customer identification number) as the Registrant and contact name,
and Tucows' postal address, assigned email address and telephone number as
contact information.
·
Tucows will keep the Registrant and
Contact Information provided by Registrant on file. Both Tucows and the
Registry may be required to archive this information with a third-party escrow
service, as per ICANN policy.
·
Registrant will retain complete control
over the domain name and its registration records and may suspend and reinstate
the Whois Privacy Service at its discretion.
·
With respect to a domain name that has
been transferred to Tucows, the Whois Privacy Service will only commence after
the transfer has been completed. If Registrant elects to transfer a domain name
to a different registrar, the Whois Privacy Service must be disabled in order
to initiate the transfer.
·
Tucows will send all obligatory renewal
and transfer related messages to the contacts that Registrant has designated.
·
Pricing for the Whois privacy

POLICY. Registrant
agrees that its registration of the domain name shall be subject to suspension,

concerning the domain name.
TRADEMARK CLEARINGHOUSE (TMCH).
Registrant agrees to abide by the terms and conditions set forth by Tucows and
the Trademark Clearinghouse Agreement available at http://opensrs.com/site/resources/agreements#contracts.
NO GUARANTEE. Registrant
acknowledges that registration of a chosen domain name does not confer immunity
from objection to the registration, reservation or use of the domain name.
AGENCY. If
Registrant intends to license use of a domain name to a third party, Registrant
is deemed the domain name holder of record and is responsible for providing
Registrant's own full contact information adequate to facilitate timely
resolution of any problems that arise in connection with the domain name.
Registrant shall accept liability for harm caused by wrongful use of the domain
name, unless it promptly discloses the licensee's identity and current contact
information (as provided by the licensee) to a party providing the Registered
Name Holder reasonable evidence of actionable harm. Registrant represents that
it will secure the agreement of any third party to the terms and conditions in
this Agreement.
MODIFICATIONS TO AGREEMENT.
Tucows may modify this Agreement, or any other related and/or applicable
agreement, as is necessary to comply with its agreements with ICANN, a registry
or any other entity or individual, as well as to adjust to changing
circumstances. All amendments to this Agreement will be posted on our website
at http://www.opensrs.com/docs/contracts/exhibita.htm. Your continued use of
the registered domain name will constitute your acceptance of this Agreement
with any revisions. If you do not agree to any change, you may request that
your domain name be cancelled or transferred to a different accredited
registrar, and agree that such cancellation or transfer will be your exclusive
remedy if you do not wish to abide by any change to this Agreement, or any
other related and/or applicable agreement.
ANNOUNCEMENTS. Tucows
reserves the right to distribute information to Registrant that is required by
ICANN or Registry policy.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Registrant
agrees that Tucows' entire liability, and Registrant's exclusive remedy, with
respect to the domain registration service provided under this Agreement and
any breach of this Agreement is solely limited to the amount Registrant paid
for the initial registration of the domain name. Tucows, ICANN and the
applicable registries shall not be liable for any lost profits, revenues, or
data, financial losses or indirect, special, consequential, exemplary, or
punitive damages. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation
of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states, liability
is limited to the extent permitted by law.
INDEMNITY. Registrant
will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Tucows, ICANN, the applicable
registries, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents,
affiliates, and contractors, from all liabilities, claims and expenses,
including attorney's fees, arising out of or relating to
·
Registrant's registration and use of
the domain name registered;
·
use of the domain name in violation of
this Agreement; or
·
Registrant's violation of any third
party right, including Intellectual Property Rights. This indemnification
obligation will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP. The person named as Registrant on
record with Tucows shall be the "Registered Name Holder." If
designated, the person named as administrative contact at the time the
controlling account was secured shall be deemed the designate of the Registrant
with the authority to manage the domain name. Registrant agrees that prior to
transferring ownership of the domain name to another person (the
"Transferee") Registrant shall require the Transferee to agree, in
writing to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If the
Transferee fails to be bound in a reasonable fashion (as determine by Tucows in
its sole discretion) to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, any such
transfer will be null and void. Registrant explicitly authorizes Tucows to act
as their Designated Agent, as stipulated by the ICANN Transfer Policy, to
approve a Change of Registrant on their behalf.
BREACH.
Registrant agrees that failure to abide by any provision of this Agreement, any
ICANN, Registry, URDP or Dispute operating rule or policy, may be considered by
Tucows to be a material breach, and that Tucows may provide written notice,
describing the breach, to Registrant. If within fifteen (15) calendar days of
the date of such notice, Registrant fails to provide evidence, which is reasonably
satisfactory to Tucows, that Registrant has not breached its obligations under
the Agreement, then Tucows may delete the registration the domain name. Any
such breach by Registrant shall not be deemed to be excused simply because
Tucows did not act earlier in response to that, or any other, breach by
Registrant.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES.
Except for the express warranties in this Agreement, Tucows does not make any
other warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise,

non-infringement. Tucows is not responsible or liable for the deletion or of
failure to store any content and other communications maintained or transmitted
through the use of the domain name registration service. Tucows does not
warrant that the domain name registrations service will be error free or
uninterrupted. The domain name registration service is not intended for high
risk activities.
INCONSISTENCIES WITH REGISTRY POLICIES. In
the event that this Agreement may be inconsistent with any term, condition,
policy or procedure of an applicable Registry, the term, condition, policy or
procedure of the applicable Registry shall prevail.
NON-WAIVER.
Tucows failure to require performance by Registrant of any provision hereof
shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any time
thereafter; nor shall the waiver by Tucows of a breach of any provision hereof
be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself.
NOTICES. Any
notice, direction or other communication given under this Agreement shall be in
writing and given by sending it via e-mail or via regular mail. In the case of

missions, members of the .ngo|.ong community do not

important interactions with government, not least for reasons of funding (which
may include receipt of some government funding in support of their programs),
members of the .ngo|.ong community decide their own
policies, direct their own activities and are independent of direct government
or political control.

community should not be political parties nor should be a part of any
government. Participation in the work of a NGO or ONG is voluntary.

community are actively pursuing their missions on a regular basis.
6. Structured. Members of the .ngo|.ong
community, whether large or small, operate in a structured manner (e.g. under
bylaws, codes of conduct, organizational standards, or other government
structures.)
7. Lawful. Members of the .ngo|.ong community
act with integrity within the bounds of law.

ii. corporate documents (e.g.

evidencing the entity’s charitable status and work in the community it serves.
3. Registrant is required to certify
that the information and documentation it submitted in the validation process
remains true, complete, and accurate at least once every two years after
initial validation.
4. If the registrant does not
successfully complete the validation process within one year from the date it
registers the domain name bundle, the domain name bundle will be deleted and
released back into the pool of available domains and any fees paid in
connection with the registration of the domain name bundle will be forfeit.
5. Registrant acknowledges and
understands that, in the event it is selected for an audit, it will promptly
comply with any inquiries and requests from the Registry to provide additional
evidence of its NGO status.
i. If, as a result of the audit
process, the Registry determines (in its sole discretion) that the Registrant
does not meet the NGO eligibility requirements, the Registrant’s domain name
bundle will be deleted and released back into the pool of available domains and
any fees paid in connection with the Registrant’s domain name bundle will be
forfeit.
