1. fees

In consideration for the services and products (“service”) purchased by You and provided to You by Codewit Solutions, You agree to pay Codewit Solutions at the time service is provided. Payment is to be made by You by providing one of the following: a valid credit card, an online check, PayPal, “Good As Gold” (collectively, the “Payment Method”). Personal checks and money orders must be for payments of $100 or more, and issued in U.S. dollars for the full amount required at that time. All money orders will be delayed ten (10) days until the money is credited, which may delay Your usage of the product or service, and any money order that does not clear will result in a $25 processing fee. Personal checks under $1,000 are subject to the same processing fees as wire transfers. All personal checks will be delayed fourteen (14) days until the money is credited, which may delay Your usage of the product or service, and any check that bounces will result in a $25 bounced check fee. If You purchase an automatically renewing service or product by personal check, it is Your responsibility to make payment arrangements for each renewal payment. You understand that ICANN requires Codewit Solutions to collect a small registration fee when You purchase Your domain name registration. You agree to pay such fees. Payments are non-refundable. If for any reason Codewit Solutions is unable to charge Your Payment Method for the full amount owed Codewit Solutions for the service provided, or if Codewit Solutions is charged a penalty for any fee it previously charged to Your Payment Method, You agree that Codewit Solutions may pursue all available remedies in order to obtain payment. You agree that among the remedies Codewit Solutions may pursue in order to effect payment, shall include but will not be limited to, immediate cancellation without notice to You of any domain names registered or renewed on Your behalf. Codewit Solutions reserves the right to charge a reasonable service fee for administrative tasks outside the scope of its regular services. These include, but are not limited to, customer service issues that cannot be handled over email but require personal service, and disputes that require legal services. These charges will be billed to the Payment Method we have on file for You. You may change Your Payment Method at any time by logging into Your Account Manager and selecting Credit Card and Payment Information.

Domain Name Renewals

When You register a domain name, automatic renewal is the default setting, which You must deactivate if You do not want Your domain name(s) to be automatically renewed. For certain ccTLDs (.am, .at, .be, .cn, .com.cn, .net.cn, .org.cn, .de, .eu, .fm, .gs, .it, .jp, .ms, .nu, .nz, .co.nz, .net.nz, .org.nz, .tc, .tk, .tw, .com.tw, .org.tw, .idv.tw, .uk, .co.uk, .me.uk, .org.uk, and .vg) renewal billing will occur on the first day of the month prior to the month of expiration. Unless You disable the automatic renewal option, Codewit Solutions will automatically renew, for a period equivalent to the length of Your original registration, any domain name that is up for renewal and will take payment from the Payment Method You have on file with Codewit Solutions, at Codewit Solutions’s then current rates. Thus, if you have chosen to register your domain name for one (1) year, Codewit Solutions will automatically renew it for one (1) year. If You have chosen to register Your domain name for two (2) years, Codewit Solutions will automatically renew it for two (2) years, and so on. Domain name renewals will be non-refundable. If for any reason Codewit Solutions is not able to take the payment from the Payment Method You have on file, and You fail to respond to our notices, Your domain name registration will expire. It is Your responsibility to keep Your Payment Method information current, which includes the expiration date if you are using a credit card. If You do not elect that the domain name be automatically renewed, You have the responsibility of logging into the Domain Manager portion of your Account Manager for that domain name and manually implementing the renewal by the expiration date (should You in fact want the domain name to be renewed). If You fail to manually implement the renewal before the expiration date, the domain name will be cancelled and You will no longer have use of that name.

For certain ccTLDs (.am, .at, .be, .cn, .com.cn, .net.cn, .org.cn, .de, .eu, .fm, .gs, .it, .jp, .ms, .nu, .nz, .co.nz, .net.nz, .org.nz, .tc, .tk, .tw, .com.tw, .org.tw, .idv.tw, .uk, .co.uk, .me.uk, .org.uk, and .vg) You must renew no later than the 20th of the month prior to the expiration date, or Your domain name will be placed on non-renewal status. When the domain name is in non-renewal status, You can renew the domain name only by calling Codewit Solutions and requesting that the domain name be renewed. You cannot renew the domain name through your Account Manager . If You fail to manually implement the renewal before the expiration date, the domain name will be cancelled and You will no longer have use of that name.

You agree that Codewit Solutions will not be responsible for cancelled domain names that You fail to renew, either automatically or manually in the timeframes indicated in this Agreement. In any case, if You fail to renew Your domain name in a timely fashion, additional charges may apply. If You signed up for domain masking, domain forwarding, or any other similar service, with Your domain registration, these services will be automatically renewed when Your domain registration is up for renewal, and You will incur the applicable additional renewal fee unless You cancel in advance.

If You fail to renew Your domain name in the timeframes indicated in this Agreement, You agree that Codewit Solutions may, at its sole discretion, renew Your expired domain name on Your behalf. If Codewit Solutions decides to renew Your expired domain name on Your behalf, You will have a Renewal Grace Period during which You may reimburse Codewit Solutions for the renewal and keep Your domain name. The Renewal Grace Period is currently twelve (12) days but subject to change under the terms of Section 2 of this Agreement. For certain ccTLDs (.am, .at, .be, .cn, .com.cn, .net.cn, .org.cn, .de, .eu, .fm, .gs, .it, .jp, .ms, .nu, .nz, .co.nz, .net.nz, .org.nz, .tc, .tk, .tw, .com.tw, .org.tw, .idv.tw, .uk, .co.uk, .me.uk, .org.uk, and .vg) there is no Renewal Grace Period after the expiration date of the domain. If You do not reimburse Codewit Solutions for the renewal during the Renewal Grace Period Your domain name will be placed on Hold and flagged for deletion after which You will have a 30-day redemption period during which You may pay Codewit Solutions a Redemption fee and redeem Your domain name. The Redemption fee is currently $80 USD and is subject to change under the terms of Section 2 of this Agreement. If You do not redeem Your domain name prior to the end of the 30-day redemption period Codewit Solutions may, at its sole discretion, delete Your domain name or transfer it to another registrant on Your behalf.

If Your domain is deleted, the Registry also provides a 30-day Redemption Grace Period during which You may pay Codewit Solutions a redemption fee and redeem Your domain name. The redemption fee is currently $80 USD and is subject to change under the terms of Section 2 of this Agreement. 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 of a conflict between this paragraph and the ccTLD terms, the ccTLD terms shall control.

2. term of agreement; modifications

The term of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as long as You have any domain name registered through Codewit Solutions. You agree that You will not transfer any domain name registered through Codewit Solutions to another domain name registrar during the first sixty (60) days after its initial registration date. You further 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 Codewit Solutions determines (which determination shall be made by Codewit Solutions in its sole and absolute discretion) that You have been engaging in “domain tasting”, then Codewit Solutions reserves the right to (a) charge You a small fee (which fee shall be deducted from any refund issued) or (b) refuse Your cancellation/refund request altogether. Codewit Solutions will not charge You a fee if Codewit Solutions cancels Your domain name during the five (5) day grace period due to fraud or other activity outside of Your control. The five (5) day grace period does not apply to Premium Domains, which are non-refundable.

You agree that Codewit Solutions may modify this Agreement from time to time. Codewit Solutions may also discontinue services it provides under this Agreement. You agree to be bound by any changes Codewit Solutions may reasonably make to this Agreement when such changes become effective.

Both Codewit Solutions and the registry operator 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.

In the event You are purchasing a domain name on behalf of a third party, You agree to inform any customer of Yours, who may be acquiring a domain name through You using Codewit Solutions’s registration services, that they are in fact registering their domain name through Codewit Solutions and that Codewit Solutions or its licensor is an accredited registrar with ICANN.

.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:

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:

1. 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.
2. The domain name registrant has the authority to enter into the registration agreement; and
3. 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

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:

1. The Uniform Domain Name Dispute Policy;
2. The Start-up Trademark Opposition Policy (“STOP”); and
3. 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 web site 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.

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.

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.
