Domain Name Registration Agreement

This Domain Name Registration Agreement ("Agreement") is by and between InfoQuest Technologies, Inc. ("INFOQUEST") a/an Pennsylvania corporation and You, Your heirs, agents, successors and assigns ("You"), and is made effective as of the date of electronic execution. This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of Your use of INFOQUEST's Domain Name Registration and represents the entire agreement between You and INFOQUEST. By participating in this transaction, You acknowledge that You have read, understand and agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including our dispute policy and the ICANN Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy along with any new, different or additional terms, conditions or policies, including the Universal Terms of Service which INFOQUEST may establish from time to time.

In addition to transactions entered into by You on Your behalf, You also agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement for transactions entered into on Your behalf by anyone acting as Your Agent, and transactions entered into by anyone who uses the account You've established with INFOQUEST, whether or not the transactions were in Your behalf. You acknowledge that INFOQUEST's acceptance of any application made by You for services provided by INFOQUEST will take place at INFOQUEST’s offices located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA.

You acknowledge that INFOQUEST or its licensor is a registrar bound by an agreement between INFOQUEST or its licensor and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN"). You agree that INFOQUEST or its licensor may modify this agreement in order to comply with applicable law and the terms and conditions set forth by the Internet ICANN and/or the Registry Administrator chosen by ICANN, as well as any registration rules or policies that may be published from time to time by INFOQUEST or its licensor.

1. FEES

In consideration for the services and products ("service") purchased by You and provided to You by INFOQUEST, You agree to pay INFOQUEST at the time service is provided. Payment is to be made by You by providing either a valid credit card or an online check (collectively, the "Payment Method"). Personal checks and money orders may be used for payments of $100 or more, and issued in U.S. dollars for the full amount required at that time. 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 INFOQUEST 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 INFOQUEST is unable to charge Your Payment Method for the full amount owed INFOQUEST for the service provided, or if INFOQUEST is charged a penalty for any fee it previously charged to your Payment Method, You agree that INFOQUEST may pursue all available remedies in order to obtain payment. You agree that among the remedies INFOQUEST 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. INFOQUEST 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 Customer Control Panel.

Domain Name Renewals

When You register a domain name, You may have the option to elect that the domain name be automatically renewed upon reaching the expiration date. Automatic renewal is the default setting, which You must deactivate if You do not want Your domain name(s) to be automatically renewed. Unless You disable the automatic renewal option, INFOQUEST 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 INFOQUEST, at INFOQUEST's then current rates. Thus, if you have chosen to register your domain name for one year, INFOQUEST will automatically renew it for one year. If you have chosen to register your domain name for two years, INFOQUEST will automatically renew it for two years, and so on. Domain name renewals will be non refundable. If for any reason INFOQUEST 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 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). In this case, if You fail to manually implement the renewal in a timely fashion the domain name will be cancelled and You will no longer have use of that name. You agree that INFOQUEST will not be responsible for cancelled domain names that You fail to renew, either automatically or manually. 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 may be automatically renewed when Your domain registration is up for renewal, and You may incur an additional renewal fee unless You cancel in advance.

If you fail to renew your domain name, you agree that INFOQUEST may, at its sole discretion, renew your expired domain name on your behalf. If INFOQUEST decides to renew your expired domain name on your behalf you will have a Renewal Grace Period during which you may reimburse INFOQUEST for the renewal and keep your domain name. The Renewal Grace Period is currently 12 days but subject to change under the terms of Section 2 of this Agreement. If you do not reimburse INFOQUEST 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 INFOQUEST a Redemption fee and redeem your domain name. The Redemption fee is currently $150 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 INFOQUEST 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 INFOQUEST a redemption fee and redeem your domain name. The redemption fee is currently $150 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.

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 INFOQUEST. You agree that You will not transfer any domain name registered through INFOQUEST to another domain name registrar during the first sixty (60) days from its initial registration date. You further agree that INFOQUEST may charge You a small fee if You cancel Your domain within the five (5) day grace period after registering Your domain with INFOQUEST and INFOQUEST refunds the price of Your domain. INFOQUEST will not charge You a fee if INFOQUEST cancels Your domain name during this period because of fraud.

You agree that INFOQUEST may modify this agreement from time to time. INFOQUEST may also discontinue services it provides under this agreement. You agree to be bound by any changes INFOQUEST may reasonably make to this agreement when such changes become effective. Should You elect to cancel Your agreement with INFOQUEST You will not receive a refund for any fees You may have paid to INFOQUEST.

You agree that INFOQUEST shall not be bound by any representations made by third parties who You may use to purchase services from INFOQUEST, and that any statements of a general nature, which may be posted on INFOQUEST's web site or be contained in INFOQUEST's promotional materials, will not bind INFOQUEST.

Failure by You, for whatever reason, to provide INFOQUEST with accurate and reliable information on an initial and continual basis, shall be considered to be a material breach of this agreement. Failure by You, for whatever reason, to respond within five (5) business days to any inquiries made by INFOQUEST to determine the validity of information provided by You, shall also be considered to be a material breach of this agreement. You agree to retain a copy for Your record of the receipt for purchase of Your domain name.

You agree that for each domain name registered by You, the following contact data is required: 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

You acknowledge and agree that domain name registration requires that this contact information, in whole or in part, be shared with the registry operator. As required by ICANN, this information must also be made publicly available by means of Whois, and that the registry operator may also be required to make this information publicly available by Whois. Both INFOQUEST 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. 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

The original date of registration and expiration date

You agree that, to the extent permitted by ICANN, INFOQUEST may make use of the publicly available information You provided during the registration process. If You engage in the reselling of domain names You agree to provide any individuals whose personal information You've obtained, information about the possible uses of their personal information pursuant to ICANN policy. You also agree to obtain consent, and evidence of consent, from those individuals for such use of the personal information they provide.

If You cancel Your agreement with INFOQUEST as a result of the modified Dispute Resolution policy no fees will be refunded to You.

You agree that if a dispute arises as a result of one or more domain names You have registered using INFOQUES, You will indemnify, defend and hold INFOQUEST harmless as provided for in this agreement. You also agree that if INFOQUEST is notified that a complaint has been filed with a governmental, administrative or judicial body, regarding a domain name registered by You using INFOQUEST, that INFOQUEST, in its sole discretion, may take whatever action INFOQUEST deems necessary regarding further modification, assignment of and/or control of the domain name deemed necessary 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 INFOQUEST harmless for any action taken by INFOQUEST.

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 INFOQUEST's registration services, that they are in fact registering their domain name through INFOQUEST and that INFOQUEST is an accredited registrar with ICANN.

You also agree not to use the ICANN trademark logo in any of Your promotional materials including Your web site.

You agree to obtain each of Your customers' acceptances of INFOQUEST's then current Domain Registration Agreement, and to retain evidence of their acceptance for a period of not less than three (3) years.
