23. Domain Name Specific Terms

 

23.1 Lee Wayland acts as an agent and reseller for different Registrars and Domain name sellers & as your agent when purchasing domain names. The contract for domain name registration is between you and the naming authority. Your use of a domain name, once registered, may be challenged by a third party; if so, the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the “UDRP”) or other as amended from time to time and provided by the Registrar responsible shall apply to all registrations or renewals. An example of such is ICANN’s UDRP available at http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp.htm
23.2 We do not warrant or guarantee that the domain name applied for will be registered in your name or is capable of being registered by You. Accordingly, You should take no action in respect of your requested domain name(s) until You have been notified that your requested domain name has been registered.
23.3 The registration of the domain name and its ongoing use is subject to the relevant naming authority’s terms and conditions of use and You are responsible for ensuring that You are aware of those terms and conditions and can and do comply with them. You irrevocably waive any claims You may have against Lee Wayland in respect of the decision of a naming authority to refuse to register a domain name and, without limitation agree that the administration charge paid by You to Lee Wayland shall be non-refundable in any event.
23.4 We accept no responsibility in respect of the use of a domain name by You and any dispute between You and any other individual or organisation regarding a domain name must be resolved between the parties concerned and we will take no part in any such dispute. We reserve the right, on our becoming aware of such a dispute, at our sole discretion and without giving any reason, to either suspend or cancel the domain name, and/or to make appropriate representations to the relevant naming authority. You warrant and undertake that to the best of your knowledge and belief neither the registration of the domain name nor the manner in which it is directly or indirectly used by You or and any licensee directly or indirectly infringes the legal rights of a third party.
23.5 You are solely responsible for providing Lee Wayland with accurate and up-to-date contact information and we shall not accept any responsibility for any cancellation or refusal to renew a domain name by the relevant naming authority due to any failure to provide such information. Any changes made by You to your details in any manner whatsoever are your own responsibility. Whilst we will make every effort to remind you when a renewal of a registration is required We are not responsible for the renewals of any domain name registration and You should make your own arrangements for reminding yourself when any name is due for renewal.
