The registrant may elect to disable the SERVICE at any time to replace the whois data with his own personal data.

The registrant warrants the accuracy of this information. The registrant further agrees that all actual registration information will be maintained in a database by the SERVICE PROVIDER and/or registrar and escrowed with a third party provider. The SERVICE PROVIDER shall keep this information confidential, subject to section 5 of this agreement. In case of the use of inaccurate, fake or outdated information, the SERVICE PROVIDER is entitled to take all necessary actions to avoid legal or financial liability in the registrant's stead, including, but not limited to the deletion of the domain name or the deactivation of the SERVICE.
- In place of the registrant, administrative, technical and billing contact information, the following data shall be displayed in the whois information for these contacts of each domain name included in the SERVICE, unless the registration requires different data to be used to ensure management of a domain name by the registration service provider and/or registrar:

- compliance with a registry request, a court order or a law enforcement agency request;
- receipt of a legal complaint regarding the use or registration of a domain name;
- receipt of a formal request from an UDRP service provider;

- good faith belief or allegation that the registration violates or infringes upon the legal rights of a third party, or any third party trademark or trade name;
- good faith belief that disclosure is necessary to further determination of an alleged breach of a law; use of the domain name for commercial purposes;
- deletion of a domain name.
- The SERVICE PROVIDER shall not be held liable for delays of services and interruptions due to higher force, fault of third parties or due to events not under reasonable control or influence of the SERVICE PROVIDER, despite any agreed upon deadlines and dates. The registrant hereby permits SERVICE PROVIDER to postpone the supply of service by the duration of the respective disruption plus an appropriate starting time. Furthermore SERVICE PROVIDER can limit the SERVICE, if the stability and security of the operation, the maintenance of the net integrity, in particular the avoidance of serious disturbances of the network, the software or stored data requires it. For all services liability of SERVICE PROVIDER will be limited to intention and gross negligence to the amount paid by the registrant for the specific service. In every other case, liability is capped at the amount of damage that is typically foreseeable at the time the policy.
- The fees for the SERVICE are charged through the registration service provider and/or registrar.

Additional fees may apply in case of fees applicable for changes in the whois information of a domain name.
- The SERVICE PROVIDER retains the right to refuse any transfer request or request for an authorization code for a domain name by the registrant as long as the SERVICE is enabled.
- The SERVICE PROVIDER may exclude certain top level domains from the SERVICE.
- The SERVICE PROVIDER does not offer a mail forwarding service and the registrant therefore agrees not to provide any third party with the data used by the SERVICE PROVIDER for the purpose of having such a third party transmit communications to the registrant through the SERVICE PROVIDER. Communications by third parties to the SERVICE PROVIDER postal address, phone number, fax number and email address will not be forwarded to the registrant, and the registrant agrees that SERVICE PROVIDER may review, return, destroy and/or discard all communications directed at the SERVICE PROVIDER. The SERVICE PROVIDER offers a contact form on his website to contact the registrant. The registrant agrees to waive any and all claims arising from his failure to receive communications directed at the domain name.
- Modifications to the terms and conditions, as well as cancellations will only be accepted in writing, which includes email transmissions. Oral agreements shall not be considered valid.
- The Seychelles will be the exclusive place of jurisdiction, as well as the place of fulfilment. For the contract between SERVICE PROVIDER and its registrants the Seychelles' law is the only effective law.
- If any provision of these terms and conditions shall be or become unenforceable and/or invalid, such unenforceability and/or invalidity shall not render these terms and conditions unenforceable or invalid as a whole. Any provision determined to be unenforceable or invalid shall be replaced by provisions which are valid and enforceable and closest to the original objectives and intents of the original provisions in an economic and legal sense that would have been agreed upon by the parties, had they known of the invalidity at the time of the agreement to these terms and conditions.
