2. THE FOLLOWING SECTION APPLIES ONLY TO THE DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION SERVICE

2.1 ICANN

SERVICE PROVIDER currently provides the Domain Name Registration Service through the services provided by registrars accredited through the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (“ICANN”). ICANN coordinates, among other things, the top-level domain name (“TLDs) systems management including generic and country code TLDs and develops policies regarding domain names. SERVICE PROVIDER accepts applications to register domain names with the following TLDs in Roman-alphabet languages: com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, name, .mobi, .asia, .tel and .us.

If CUSTOMER is registering the .biz TLD, CUSTOMER agree that CUSTOMER registered domain will be used primarily for a bona fide business or commercial purpose at the time of registration. A bona fide business use is one of the following: (i) to exchange goods, services, or property of any kind in the ordinary course of trade or business; or (ii) to facilitate the exchange of goods, services, information, or property of any kind in the ordinary course of trade or business. CUSTOMER also agrees that the .biz TLD will not be used exclusively for personal use; or solely for the purposes of (i) selling, trading or leasing the domain for compensation, or (ii) the unsolicited offering to sell, trade or lease the domain for compensation.

Registration of .us TLD is limited to (i) U.S. citizens or permanent residents in the U.S.; (ii) entities or organizations that are incorporated in the U.S.; (iii) U.S. federal, state or local government; or (iv) foreign entities with a bona fide presence in the United States. If CUSTOMER is registering the .us TLD, CUSTOMER agrees and acknowledges that CUSTOMER has a presence in the United States and that CUSTOMER is not permitted to purchase private or proxy .us registration.

2.2 No Guarantee of Registration or Renewal

CUSTOMER acknowledges and agrees that SERVICE PROVIDER does not guarantee that CUSTOMER will be able to register or renew a desired domain name, even if an inquiry indicates that domain name is available, because SERVICE PROVIDER cannot know with certainty whether or not the domain name which CUSTOMER is 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 databases.

In the event that CUSTOMER has not paid CUSTOMER prepaid bill or monthly bill, whichever is applicable, and CUSTOMER SERVICE PROVIDER account has gone into inactive status, SERVICE PROVIDER will not renew CUSTOMER domain name.
