General Terms and Conditions applicable to all services follow:
1. DEFINITIONS:
In this Service Agreement ("Agreement"), "you" and "your" refer to each customer ("Customer") and "we", "us" and "our" refer to The Company. This Agreement explains our obligations to you, and your obligations to us in relation to your use of our services. By selecting our service(s) you have agreed to establish an account with us for such services. When you use your account or permit someone else to use your account to purchase or otherwise acquire access to additional service(s) or to modify or cancel your service(s) (even if we were not notified of such authorisation), this Agreement covers any such service or actions.
2. ACCURATE INFORMATION:
As consideration for the service(s), you agree to: (1) provide certain current, complete and accurate information about you as required by the application process; and (2) maintain and update this information as needed to keep it current, complete and accurate. We rely on this information to send you important information and notices regarding your account and our services.
3. FEES AND PAYMENT, REFUNDS -TERMS, RENEWALS AND TERMINATIONS:
3.1 As consideration for the Service(s), you agree to pay the applicable Service(s) fees set forth on our Web site at the time you request the Service. All fees are due immediately and are non-refundable as provisioning of your service commences immediately. Each domain name registration is for an initial term, or such longer term as you may order or as may be required by a particular registry administrator, and is renewable thereafter for successive periods, as set forth during the renewal process. Where a domain name is given free with another service, e.g. web hosting, the domain is free of charge for the initial registration period only. Subsequent years renewal will be charged at the prevailing rate listed on our website.
3.2.1 All payments must be in US Dollars. If your check is returned by the bank as unpaid for any reason, or if your credit card is declined you may be liable for an administration charge of up to $45.
3.2.2 All monthly packages must be paid by a recurring method of payment and as per agreed payment terms. Failure to do so will result in contact from our Collections Department and an admin fee of $35 may be incurred each time a letter is issued.
3.3 All charges payable by you for the Services shall be in accordance with the scale of charges and rates published from time to time by us on our web site and shall be due and payable in advance of our service provision.
3.4 You agree to pay all taxes related to the Service(s) provided to you hereunder. All sums due and payable that remain unpaid after any applicable cure period herein will accrue interest as a late charge of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less
3.5 In the event of a charge back by a credit card company (or similar action by another payment provider allowed by us) or other non-payment by you in connection with your payment of the applicable service or renewal fee, you acknowledge and agree that the Service for which such fee has not been paid within 14 days of the due date may be suspended, cancelled or terminated, in our sole discretion, or, in the case of a domain name, transferred to us as the entity that has paid the applicable fee to the registry. After 21 days of the payment due date, we reserve the right to cancel the service. In addition, we reserve all rights regarding such domain name registration including, without limitation, the right to make the domain name registration available to other parties for purchase. We will reinstate any such Service solely at our discretion, and subject to our receipt of the applicable Service or renewal fee and our then-current reinstatement fee.
3.6 ALL FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE , IN WHOLE OR IN PART, EVEN IF YOUR SERVICE IS SUSPENDED, CANCELLED OR TRANSFERRED PRIOR TO THE END OF THE THEN-CURRENT SERVICE TERM. We reserve the right to change fees, surcharges, renewal fees or to institute new fees at any time, for any reason, at our sole discretion, without prior notice to you.
3.7 You acknowledge and agree that, to the extent necessary, it is your responsibility to: (1) provide all equipment, including a computer and modem, necessary for you to establish a connection to the Internet; and (2) provide for your own connection to the Internet and pay any telephone service fees associated with such connection.
3.8 Without prejudice to our other rights and remedies under this Agreement, if any sum payable is not paid on or before the due date, we shall be entitled forthwith to suspend the provision of Services to you;
3.9 Due to the nature of domain name registration, all sales are final. No refunds can be issued once a domain name is registered. We may take all remedies available to collect fees owed.
TERM OF SERVICE
3.10 Unless otherwise specified, each service is for an annual term, and unless otherwise specified at time of commencement of service, all services will incur an annual fee. To protect your services all services will renew automatically unless you opted out of the auto renew process. Auto renewal is a service offered by Easyspace to protect the customer, whereby products and services, except those subscribed to on a monthly basis, will by default be automatically renewed prior to expiration date. If you have opted out of auto renew it will be your responsibility to renew or cancel services that you no longer require at the appropriate time. A number of attempts will be made to process the automated renewal of customer products and services. Auto Renewal attempt one will take place 30 days prior to expiration date of a service. Should this attempt fail, a second attempt will take place 14 days prior to expiration. If this second attempt fails than a third attempt will take place 7 days prior to expiration. If this third attempt fails, then a final attempt will be made 1 day prior to expiration of your service. Should this attempt also fail, then the product must be renewed manually via the control panel or by calling our sales team.If your chosen payment method is not authorised by your credit card provider, bank or if you do not have a card assigned to auto renew, you hereby authorise us to seek payment from any other credit card or direct debit registered against your account at any of the uplift dates. If a service is set for automatic renewal and the default card has expired we reserve the right to attempt an uplift as the card may have been renewed.
Customers will have the option within the Control Panel to opt out of the Auto renew service, however an additional £ 3 fee will be added to all renewals administered manually. Additional payment terms will apply to certain services.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your services are renewed and you are solely responsible for ensuring there is adequate funding for the services to be renewed. For all packages purchased for a monthly term there is a minimum contract length of 3 months from date of purchase.
RENEWAL
3.11 Any renewal of your Services with us is subject to our then current terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, payment of all applicable Service fees at the time of renewal and, in the case of renewal of a domain name registration, the registry administrator's acceptance of such renewal. Except with respect to Services to which you subscribe on a monthly basis, we will attempt to provide you a renewal reminder prior to the renewal of your Services at least sixty (60) days in advance of the renewal date. In the case of domain name registrations, we will attempt to send this reminder by email to the administrative contact on file for the domain name registration. Additional payment terms apply to certain services, as set forth in this Agreement.
3.12 You are solely responsible for ensuring the Services are renewed. WE SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE RENEWAL OR ANY ATTEMPT TO RENEW THE SERVICES AS DESCRIBED HEREIN, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY FAILURE OR ERRORS IN RENEWING OR ATTEMPTING TO RENEW THE SERVICES.

Any such revision or change will be binding and effective 30 days after posting of the revised Agreement or change to the Service(s) on our Web site, or upon transmission to you at the e-mail address or postal address provided by you for the registrant or administrative contact of your domain name, or such other email address as you may provide in connection with any Service purchased from Us; provided, however, that terms and conditions for new services shall be effective immediately upon posting on our Web site and will be applicable to you when you order such new Service(s). Your continued use of any Service(s) purchased through us shall constitute your acceptance of this Agreement as well as additional rules or policies that are or may be published by us, each with the new modifications. If you do not agree to any of such changes, you may request that your Service(s) be cancelled or that your domain name registration be transferred to a different domain name registrar. You acknowledge and agree that such cancellation or request for transfer will be your exclusive remedy and our sole liability if you do not wish to abide by any changes to this Agreement or any additional rules or policies that are or may be published by us from time to time.

Clients are always advised to seek guidance if they are at all unsure about the domain name they have chosen and its validity. Due to the variety of possible causes for the failure of the domain name validity checker, we cannot be held responsible if a customer attempts to register an invalid domain and that this request is subsequently accepted by our systems. Acceptance of the invalid order by our systems does not constitute acceptance of the domains registration by the relevant domain registry.
Generic Top Level Domain Registrations
4.1 Our sister company, Easyspace Ltd. Is an accredited registrar with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") for various generic top-level domain names including .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, and .name ("gTLDs"). Easyspace Limited will be providing us with domain name services that we in turn provide you.
Dispute Policy
4.2 Registrant agrees, as a condition to submitting this Registration Agreement, and if the Registration Agreement is accepted by us, that on successful registration of any domain name under this Agreement, the Registrant is bound by our current dispute policy and the dispute policy procedures. Registrant acknowledges that the dispute policy described in this clause 4 is the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "URDP Dispute Policy"). Registrant agrees that in respect of the pre-registration or registration of any domain names, other dispute policies may apply as specified by the registry administrator of those domain names from time to time. Registrant agrees that we may change or modify the UDRP Dispute Policy, incorporated by reference herein, at any time. Registrant agrees that Registrant's maintaining the registration of a domain name after changes or modifications to the UDRP Dispute Policy become effective constitutes Registrant's continued acceptance of these
changes or modifications. Registrant agrees that any dispute relating to registration or use of its domain name will be subject to the provisions specified in the UDRP Dispute Policy. Without prejudice to other potentially applicable jurisdictions, Registrant submits to the jurisdiction of the courts as provided in the UDRP Dispute Policy. The UDRP Dispute Policy can be viewed at our company website.
.tel domains
4.2.1 Should you seek to register a .TEL op level domain, you must agree to be bound by the following additional terms:
4.2.2 Responsibility for Content. The Registrant is solely and fully responsible for all information, data and text (“Content”) provided in connection with the .Tel Domain Name. The name service provider, its service providers and designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to refuse or remove any Content.
4.2.3 Use of Information. The Registrant agrees to provide updated, current Content. If The Registrant provides information about a third Party or employer, The Registrant hereby represents and warrants that it has (a) provided notice to that third Party of the disclosure and use of that Party’s information in connection with the Domain Name, and (b) obtained that third Party’s express consent to the disclosure and use of that Party’s information. The Registrant expressly consents to the use of Content by Telnic and its service providers to provide the Services, to conduct analyses related to the Services, and as otherwise described in Telnic’s posted privacy policy.

Country Code Top Level Domain Registration and Administration
4.3 In addition to registering and renewing gTLD domain name registrations, we also register and renew various country code top level domains ("ccTLDs"). The registry administrator for each ccTLD varies by individual country code. By agreeing to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, you are also agreeing to be bound by the rules and regulations set forth by these registry administrators for their respective registries only.

No Guarantee of Registration or Renewal
4.4 Easyspace Ltd., as a domain name registrar, upon accepting your application to register or renew a domain name, is your sponsor for that application. No domain name registrations shall be deemed effective unless and until we deliver the domain name registration or renewal application you provide us to the appropriate registry administrator, as applicable, and that registry administrator accepts your application and activates your domain name registration or renewal. You will be entitled to a refund only if your registration is unsuccessful.
4.5 You acknowledge and agree that the company does not guarantee that you will be able to register or renew a desired domain name, even if our systems indicate that domain name is available or you are able to complete an order with respect to such name. You also understand that the company cannot know with certainty whether or not the domain name which you are seeking to register is simultaneously being sought by a third party, or whether there are any inaccuracies or errors in the domain name registration or renewal process or related databases, including the various WHOIS or other registry databases. You also acknowledge and agree that the company is not responsible for any inaccuracies or errors in the domain name registration or renewal process.
