To complete the registration process, you must read and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement, the accompanying fee schedule and dispute policy, and any rules or policies of general applicability that are or may be posted by us on our website from time to time. You acknowledge that we may modify this Agreement to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law or the ICANN Agreement, any ICANN Consensus Policy or code of conduct or other policies adopted or requirements imposed by ICANN or the administrator of the Registry, currently Verisign, Inc. for .com, .net, .org, & cc, Neulevel, Inc. for .biz & .us, GNR Global Name Registry for .name, and Afilias, Inc. for .info - (the "Registry Administrator"), as in effect from time to time (collectively referred to as "ICANN/Registry Policy").

1. Fees.

As consideration for the SLD name registration services provided by us, you agree to pay all initial registration fees and applicable renewal fees with respect to each SLD name registered in US Dollars at the time of registration or renewal. If you do not pay any initial fees or renewal fees when due or your credit card charge is not accepted for any reason within three (3) business days after any initial fee is due or within seven business days after any renewal fee is due, or in the event of any chargeback of any payment at any time, we will have the right to immediately cancel all SLD names for which payment was not received, without further notice. In the case of renewals, we will send an e-mail to the address of the billing contact then set forth in the WhoIS directory with respect to the SLD name eligible for renewal, and it shall be your responsibility to ensure that all such fees are paid prior to the expiration of the term of registration of each SLD name you wish to renew. You agree that we shall have no liability whatsoever with respect to any such cancellation. We reserve the right to adjust our registration and renewal fees prospectively upon fifteen (15) calendar days prior notice.

You agree to be bound by our Domain Name Dispute Policy ("Dispute Policy") which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference, as in effect from time to time. The Dispute Policy can be found at http://www.bulkregister.com/disputepolicy.phtml. Any disputes regarding the right to use your SLD name will be subject to the Dispute Policy. We may modify the Dispute Policy in our sole discretion at any time in accordance with the ICANN Agreement or any ICANN/Registry Policy. Your continued use of our registration services after modification to the Dispute Policy becomes effective constitutes your acceptance of those modifications. If you do not agree to such a modification, you may request that your SLD name be cancelled or transferred to another registrar. You agree that you will be subject to the provisions specified in the Dispute Policy in effect at the time your SLD name is challenged by a third party, including but not limited to (i) any applicable restrictions on your ability to change registrars with respect to an SLD name subject to a dispute or to transfer an SLD name subject to a dispute to a new holder; and (ii) our ability to cancel any such transfers while a dispute is pending. While any dispute or litigation is pending, we may not allow you to make changes to such SLD record until (i) we are directed to do so by the judicial or administrative body, or (ii) we receive notification by you and the other party contesting your registration and use of our SLD name registration services that the dispute has been settled. Furthermore, you agree that if you are subject to litigation regarding your registration and use of our SLD name registration services, we may deposit control of your SLD name record into the registry of the judicial body by supplying a party with a registrar certificate from us. No refunds will be provided for names deleted or transferred pursuant to this section. You agree that at such time as we receive a properly authenticated order from a court of competent jurisdiction, or arbitration award, requiring the cancellation, suspension, transfer or modification of any SLD name registration, we shall have the right in our sole discretion to cancel, suspend (e.g. registrar lock or hold), transfer or otherwise modify any SLD name registration(s).
