Last Revised: September 10, 2014

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY, AS IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

1. OVERVIEW

This Domain Name Registration and Customer Service Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Automattic, an individual ("WordPress.com") and you, and is made effective as of the date of electronic acceptance. This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of your use of the Services offered hereunder and described in this Agreement (individually and collectively, the “Services”), and represents the entire agreement between you and us concerning the subject matter hereof. Your electronic acceptance of this Agreement signifies that you have read, understand, acknowledge and agree to be bound by this Agreement.

The terms “we”, “us” or “our” shall refer to WordPress.com and the Sponsoring Registrar. The terms “you,” “your” and “User” shall refer to any individual or entity who accepts this Agreement.

We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, change or modify this Agreement, and any policies or agreements which are incorporated herein, and any limits or restrictions on the Services, at any time, and such changes or modifications shall be effective immediately upon posting. Your use of the Services after such changes or modifications shall constitute your acceptance of this Agreement and Service limitations as last revised. If you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement and the Service limitations as last revised, do not continue to use the Services. We may occasionally notify you of changes or modifications to this Agreement by email. It is therefore very important that you keep your account information current. We assume no liability or responsibility for your failure to receive an email notification if such failure results from an inaccurate email address. You acknowledge and agree that the Sponsoring Registrar is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, with a right to enforce the terms and provisions contained herein.

WordPress.com is not an Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") accredited registrar; we are an authorized reseller of domain name registration services.  Accordingly, you acknowledge and agree that we may modify this Agreement in order to comply with any terms and conditions set forth by (i) the sponsoring registrar (“Sponsoring Registrar”), (ii) ICANN, and/or (iii) the registry applicable to the top level domain ("TLD") or country code top level domain ("ccTLD") in question.  As used herein, the terms "registry", "Registry", "registry operator" or "Registry Operator" shall refer to the registry applicable to the TLD or ccTLD in question. To identify the sponsoring registrar, click here.  For more information regarding domain name registration, you may review ICANN’s Registrant Rights and Responsibilities.

If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a corporate entity, you represent and warrant that you have the legal authority to bind such corporate entity to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, in which case the terms "you", "your" and "User" shall refer to such corporate entity. If, after your electronic acceptance of this Agreement, we find that you do not have the legal authority to bind such corporate entity, you will be personally responsible for the obligations contained in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the payment obligations. We shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from our reliance on any instruction, notice, document or communication reasonably believed by us to be genuine and originating from an authorized representative of your corporate entity.

You may not use our servers and your domain name as a source, intermediary, reply to address, or destination address for mail bombs, Internet packet flooding, packet corruption, or other abusive attack.

No fees will be refunded to you should your Services be cancelled or terminated because of a breach. Our failure to act upon or notify you of any event which may constitute a breach shall not relieve you from or excuse you of the fact that you have committed a breach.

5. PROVISIONS SPECIFIC TO ALL DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATIONS

Registry Rules.  You agree to be bound by the rules, policies, and agreements of each Registry from which you purchase a domain name registration, which may include, but are not limited to, top level domain registries and second level domain registries.

Up To Date Information.  You agree that for each domain name registered by you, the following contact data is required: name, postal address, email address, telephone number, and if available, a facsimile number for the Registered Name Holder and, if different from the Registered Name Holder, the same contact information for a technical contact, an administrative contact and a billing contact (cumulatively “Registration Information”). You agree to notify us within five (5) business days when any of the Registration Information changes. It is your responsibility to keep the Registration Information in a current and accurate status. Failure by you, for whatever reason, to provide us with accurate and reliable Registration Information on an initial and continual basis shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement. Failure by you, for whatever reason, to respond within five (5) business days to any inquiries made by us to determine the validity of Registration Information provided by you, shall also be considered a material breach of this Agreement. You agree to retain a copy of the receipt of purchase for your domain name.

WhoIs Database.  You acknowledge and agree that ICANN requires that Registration Information be shared with the registry operator and be made publicly available by means of Whois. We and the registry operator also may be required to archive this information with a third-party escrow service. You hereby consent and give permission for all such requirements and disclosures. Further, you represent and warrant that, if you are providing information about a third party, you have notified the third party of the disclosure and the purpose for the disclosure and you have obtained the third party's consent to such disclosure.

You agree that for each domain name registered by you the following information will be made publicly available in the Whois directory as determined by ICANN Policy and may be sold in bulk as set forth in the ICANN agreement:

  • The domain name;
  • Your name and postal address;
  • The email address, postal address, voice and fax numbers for technical and administrative contacts;
  • The Internet protocol numbers for the primary and secondary name servers;
  • The corresponding names of the name servers; and
  • The original date of registration and expiration date.

You agree that, to the extent permitted by ICANN, we may make use of the publicly available information you provide during the registration process.

Default Domain Name Settings.  When you register a domain name with us, you or we will also set up your domain name settings. In some cases, if your domain name is not directed away from our name servers, we will direct your domain name to a parked page (“Parked Page”). A Parked Page is an online domain monetization system designed to generate revenue (through the use of pay per click advertising) from domain names that are not actively being used as websites. If your domain name is directed to a Parked Page, you acknowledge and agree that we may display advertising for our own services and/or advertising for third parties on your Parked Page, and that we may aggregate for our own use related usage data by means of cookies and other similar means. In addition, you acknowledge and agree that all content on our Parked Page, including the advertising, will be selected by us and our advertising partners, as appropriate, and that you will not be permitted to customize the advertising (or any portion of the Parked Page) or be entitled to any compensation in exchange therefore. Please note that the third-party advertising displayed on our Parked Pages may contain content offensive to you including, but not limited to, links to adult content. We make no effort to edit, control, monitor, or restrict the content and third-party advertising displayed on our Parked Pages, and expressly disclaim any liability or responsibility to you or any third party in connection therewith.

Domain Tasting.  You agree that you will not engage in “domain tasting” by using the five (5) day grace period in which a registrant may choose to cancel a domain name and get a full refund of the registration fee as a vehicle to test the marketability or viability of a domain name. If we determine in our sole and absolute discretion that you have been engaging in “domain tasting,” then we reserve the right to (a) charge you a fee which shall be deducted from any refund issued, or (b) refuse your cancellation/refund request altogether.

Transfers.  You agree that you will not transfer any domain name registered through us to another domain name registrar during the first sixty (60) days after its initial registration date or transfer to us, during which time the domain name will be placed on lock status. After the first sixty (60) days expire, you may transfer your domain name away to a new Registrar. To initiate a transfer away, you must place your domain name in unlock status, make sure your Administrative Contact email address is current, and initiate your transfer request with the new Registrar.

If you are transferring a domain name registration from another Registrar to us, you must ensure that the domain name is in unlock status at the losing Registrar, make sure your Administrative Contact email address is current, provide all of the information requested through our online transfer application and pay for the transfer. We will send a transfer approval request to the Administrative Contact’s email address, which approval must be received before we can initiate the transfer. Once initiated, a transfer will be accepted or denied by the losing Registrar within five (5) days. Upon successful transfer, you shall remain the registrant of the domain name and we shall become the Registrar of record.

Failure to Renew.  All domain name registrations are for a specific period of time and must be renewed upon expiration if you want to continue using the domain name. You agree that we will not be responsible for cancelled domain names that you fail to renew. If you fail to renew your domain name in a timely fashion, additional charges may apply. If you fail to renew your domain name in the applicable timeframes, you agree that we may, in our sole discretion, renew your expired domain name on your behalf and provide you with a renewal grace period during which time you may reimburse us for the renewal and keep your domain name. If we provide you with a renewal grace period and you do not reimburse us for the renewal during the renewal grace period, your domain name will be placed on hold and flagged for deletion.

If your domain name is deleted, the Registry may also provide a redemption grace period during which you may pay a redemption fee and redeem your domain name. If you do not redeem your domain name prior to the end of the Registry's redemption grace period, the Registry will release your name and it will become available for registration on a first-come-first-served basis. Renewal grace periods and redemption grace periods vary for different ccTLDs. Please refer to the specific terms for the applicable TLD. In the event there is a conflict between the provisions of this paragraph and the ccTLD terms, the ccTLD terms shall control.

Any time after expiration, your domain name may resolve to a Parked Page containing advertisements.

Refusal of Service.  You agree that we, in our sole discretion and without liability to you, may refuse to accept the registration of any domain name. We also may in our sole discretion and without liability to you delete the registration of any domain name during the first thirty (30) days after registration has taken place. We may also cancel the registration of a domain name, after thirty (30) days, if that name is being used, as determined by us in our sole discretion, in association with spam or morally objectionable activities. Morally objectionable activities include, but are not limited to:

  • Activities prohibited by the laws of the United States and/or foreign territories in which you conduct business;
  • Activities designed to encourage unlawful behavior by others, such as hate crimes, terrorism and child pornography; and
  • Activities designed to harm or unethically use minors in any way.

Dispute Resolution Policy.  You agree to be bound by ICANN’s Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy. This policy is incorporated herein and made a part of this Agreement. You agree that if a dispute arises as a result of any domain names you have registered, you will indemnify, defend and hold us harmless. You also agree that if we are notified that a complaint has been filed with a governmental, administrative or judicial body regarding a domain name registered by you, we may take whatever action, in our sole discretion, we deem necessary regarding further modification, assignment of and/or control of the domain name to comply with the actions or requirements of the governmental, administrative or judicial body until such time as the dispute is settled. In this event you agree to hold us harmless for any action we take.

16. PROVISIONS SPECIFIC TO .BIZ REGISTRATIONS

If you are registering a .BIZ domain name you also agree to:

.BIZ Restrictions

Registrations in the .BIZ TLD must be used or intended to be used primarily for bona fide business or commercial purposes. For purposes of the .BIZ Registration Restrictions ("Restrictions"), "bona fide business or commercial use" shall mean the bona fide use or bona fide intent to use the domain name or any content, software, materials, graphics or other information thereon, to permit Internet users to access one (1) or more host computers through the DNS:

         i.      To exchange goods, services, or property of any kind;

        ii.      In the ordinary course of trade or business; or

       iii.      To facilitate (i) the exchange of goods, services, information, or property of any kind; or, (ii) the ordinary course of trade or business. Registering a domain name solely for the purposes of (1) selling, trading or leasing the domain name for compensation, or (2) the unsolicited offering to sell, trade or lease the domain name for compensation shall not constitute a "bona fide business or commercial use" of that domain name.

.BIZ Certification

As a .BIZ domain name registrant, you hereby certify to the best of your knowledge that:

         i.      The registered domain name will be used primarily for bona fide business or commercial purposes and not (i) exclusively for personal use; or (ii) solely for the purposes of (1) selling, trading or leasing the domain name for compensation, or (2) the unsolicited offering to sell, trade or lease the domain name for compensation. More information on the .BIZ restrictions, which are incorporated herein by reference, are available online;

        ii.      The domain name registrant has the authority to enter into the registration agreement; and

       iii.      The registered domain name is reasonably related to the registrant's business or intended commercial purpose at the time of registration.

Domain Name Dispute Policy

If you reserved or registered a .BIZ domain name through us, you agree to be bound by our current domain name dispute policy that is incorporated herein and made a part of this Agreement by reference. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with that policy. In addition, you hereby acknowledge that you have read and understood and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the following documents, as they may be amended from time to time, which are hereby incorporated and made an integral part of this Agreement:

         i.      The Uniform Domain Name Dispute Policy;

        ii.      The Start-up Trademark Opposition Policy ("STOP"); and

       iii.      The Restrictions Dispute Resolution Criteria and Rules.

The STOP sets forth the terms and conditions in connection with a dispute between a registrant of a .BIZ domain name ("Registrant") with any third party (other than Registry Operator or Registrar) over the registration or use of a .BIZ domain name registered by Registrant that is subject to the Intellectual Property Claim Service. The Intellectual Property Claim Service is a service introduced by Registry Operator to notify a trademark or service mark holder ("Claimant") that a second level domain name has been registered in which that Claimant claims intellectual property rights. In accordance with the STOP and its associated Rules, those Claimants will have the right to challenge registrations through independent ICANN-accredited dispute resolution providers.

The UDRP sets forth the terms and conditions in connection with a dispute between a Registrant and any party other than the Registry Operator or Registrar over the registration and use of an Internet domain name registered by Registrant.

The RDRP sets forth the terms under which any allegation that a domain name is not used primarily for business or commercial purposes shall be enforced on a case-by-case, fact specific basis by an independent ICANN-accredited dispute provider. None of the violations of the Restrictions will be enforced directly by or through Registry Operator. Registry Operator will not review, monitor, or otherwise verify that any particular domain name is being used primarily for business or commercial purposes or that a domain name is being used in compliance with the SUDRP or UDRP processes.

Domain Name Dispute Policy Modifications

You agree that we, in our sole discretion, may modify our dispute policy. We will post any such revised policy on our website at least thirty (30) calendar days before it becomes effective. You agree that, by maintaining the reservation or registration of your domain name after modifications to the dispute policy become effective, you have agreed to these modifications. You acknowledge that if you do not agree to any such modification, you may terminate this Agreement. We will not refund any fees paid by you if you cancel or terminate your Services with us.

Domain Name Disputes

You agree that, if your use of our domain name registration services is challenged by a third party, you will be subject to the provisions specified in our dispute policy in effect at the time of the dispute. You agree that in the event a domain name dispute arises with any third party, you will indemnify and hold us harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth below in this Agreement. If we are notified that a complaint has been filed with a judicial or administrative body regarding your use of our domain name registration services, you agree not to make any changes to your domain name record without our prior approval. We may not allow you to make changes to such domain name 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 domain 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 domain name registration services, we may deposit control of your domain name record into the registry of the judicial body by supplying a party with a registrar certificate from us.

Reservation of Rights

We and the .BIZ Registry Operator, NeuLevel, Inc. expressly reserve the right to deny, cancel or transfer any registration that it deems necessary, in its discretion, to protect the integrity and stability of the registry, to comply with any applicable laws, government rules or requirements, requests of law enforcement, in compliance with any dispute resolution process, or to avoid any liability, civil or criminal, on the part of us and/or NeuLevel, Inc., as well as their affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors and employees.
