GB REG may at its sole discretion, elect to accept or reject any application for registration of domain name for any reason, including but not limited to, rejection due to a request for registration of a prohibited domain name.

1. WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO

GB REG has been granted the right to provide Internet domain registration services for second-level domain names within the .com, .org, .net, .co.uk, .org.uk, .ltd.uk and .plc.uk top-level domains.

ICANN oversees the .com, .org and .net top-level domains.
Nominet oversees the .co.uk, .org.uk, .ltd.uk and .plc.uk top-level domains.

Upon GB REG's receipt of domain name registration information from you, GB REG shall submit the information to the registry administrator for the appropriate top-level domain for approval and processing. The registry administrator then puts into effect the domain name registration. Network Solutions, Inc. currently acts as the registry administrator for the .com, .org, and .net top-level domains. Nominet UK acts as the registry administrator for the .co.uk, .org.uk, .ltd.uk and .plc.uk top-level domains.

2. FEES

As consideration for GB REG providing domain name registration services to you, you agree to pay GB REG, prior to the approval of the desired domain name registration, the amounts set forth in the GB REG Price Schedule, as amended from time to time, for the initial registration of the domain name and any subsequent renewals.

If GB REG does register a domain name prior to payment of the registration fee, GB REG reserves the right to cancel that registration or restrict use of the domain name until payment has been received.

All fees must be prepaid and are non-refundable, in whole or in part, even if the domain name registration is suspended, cancelled or transferred prior to the end of the registration term.

In the event of a charge back by a credit card company or other payment provider authorised by GB REG, the domain name registration shall be transferred to GB REG as the paying entity for the registration. GB REG may reinstate your domain name registration at its sole discretion upon
its receipt of the registration or renewal fee and its then current reinstatement fee. The reinstatement fee is currently GBP £100.

Payment must be made by credit card or other methods we indicate in registration application or renewal form.

the Defensive Registration will be subject to challenge pursuant to the Eligibility Requirements Dispute Resolution Policy ("ERDRP");
if the Defensive Registration is successfully challenged pursuant to the ERDRP, the Defensive Registrant will pay the challenge fees; and
if a challenge is successful, then the Defensive Registration will be subject to the procedures described in Section 2(h) of Appendix L to the agreement of Global Name Registry ("Registry Operator") with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN"), available at http://www.icann.org/tlds/agreements/name/registry-agmt-appl-03jul01.htm

You further agree that if a Phase I Defensive Registration is successfully challenged on the basis that it did not meet the applicable Eligibility Requirements, the Defensive Registrant will thereafter be required to demonstrate, at its expense, that it meets the Eligibility Requirements for Phase I Defensive Registrations for all other Phase I Defensive Registrations that it registered within .NAME through any Registrar. In the event that the Defensive Registrant is unable to demonstrate the foregoing with respect to any such Phase I Defensive Registration(s), those Defensive Registration(s) will be cancelled.
The ERDRP applies to, among other things, challenges to Defensive Registrations within .NAME and is available at http://www.icann.org/tlds/agreements/name/registry-agmt-appm-03jul01.htm.

You agree that, by maintaining the Defensive Registration 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 terminate your Agreement with us.

DEFENSIVE REGISTRATIONS DISPUTES
You agree that, if your Defensive Registration is challenged by a third party, you will be subject to the provisions specified in our Defensive Registration dispute policy in effect at the time of the dispute. You agree that in the event a Defensive Registration dispute arises with any third party, you will indemnify and hold GB Reg, harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth below in this Agreement.

CONSENT
Defensive Registrants may be asked to give their consent to allow individuals to share a part of their space. For example, if you have filed a Defensive Registration on PQR (which blocks out ANYSTRING.PQR.name and PQR.ANYSTRING.name), you may be asked to give consent to John Pqr to register JOHN.PQR.name if he can prove that PQR is his name. In such a circumstance, you will have five (5) days to respond to a request for consent.

.NAME REGISTRATION RESTRICTIONS
Registrations in the .NAME TLD must constitute an individual's "Personal Name". For purposes of the .NAME restrictions (the "Restrictions"), a "Personal Name" is a person's legal name, or a name by which the person is commonly known. A "name by which a person is commonly known" includes, without limitation, a pseudonym used by an author or painter, or a stage name used by a singer or actor.

.NAME CERTIFICATIONS
As a .NAME domain name Registrant, you hereby certify to the best of your knowledge that:

You have the authority to enter into this Agreement; and
The registered domain name or second level domain ("SLD") email address is your Personal Name.

PROVISION OF REGISTRATION DATA

You hereby represent and warrant the data provided in the registration application is true, correct, up-to-date and complete and that you will continue to keep all of the information provided up-to-date.

DOMAIN NAME DISPUTE POLICY
If you reserved or registered a .NAME 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:

the Eligibility Requirements (the "Eligibility Requirements"), available at http://www.icann.org/tlds/agreements/name/registry-agmt-appl-03jul01.htm;
the Eligibility Requirements Dispute Resolution Policy (the "ERDRP"), available at http://www.icann.org/tlds/agreements/name/registry-agmt-appm-03jul01.htm; and
the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "UDRP"), available at http://www.icann.org/tlds/agreements/name/registry-agmt-appm-03jul01.htm.

The Eligibility Requirements dictate that Personal Name domain names and Personal Name SLD email addresses will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis, except for registrations granted as a result of a dispute resolution proceeding or during the landrush procedures in connection with the opening of the Registry TLD. The following categories of Personal Name Registrations may be registered:

the Personal Name of an individual;
the Personal Name of a fictional character, if you have trademark or service mark rights in that character's Personal Name;
in addition to a Personal Name registration, you may add numeric characters to the beginning or the end of your Personal Name so as to differentiate it from other Personal Names.

The ERDRP applies to challenges to registered domain names and SLD email address registrations within .NAME on the grounds that a Registrant does not meet the Eligibility Requirements, and
to Defensive Registrations within .NAME.

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