1. Domain name registration

1.1 You acknowledge and recognise that the domain name system and the practice of registering and administering domain names is continuously evolving and that Red may modify this Agreement as necessary from time to time to comply with any agreements by which Red is or will be bound, and to adjust to changing business circumstances. We will notify of these changes by e-mail to refer You to the amended provisions.

1.2 Your continued use of the registered domain name constitutes acceptance of this Agreement and amendments, including acceptance of the term and conditions required of Red by its domain name services providers, to which you are bound. By registering domain names, you are entering a contract with Red and its domain service providers. If at any time, you do not agree to such changes, you agree that your sole remedy is to request that your domain name registration be cancelled or transferred to a different domain name registrar

1.3 We make no representation that the domain name you wish to register is capable of being registered by or for you or that it will be registered in your name. You should therefore not assume registration of your requested domain name(s) until you have been notified that it has or they have been registered. Any action taken by you before such notification is at your risk;

1.4 The registration and use of your domain name is subject to the terms and conditions of use applied by the relevant naming authority; you shall ensure that you are aware of those terms and conditions and that you comply with them. You shall have no right to bring any claim against us in respect of refusal to register a domain name or cancellation of the domain name by the relevant naming authority. Any administration charge paid by you to us shall be non-refundable notwithstanding refusal by the naming authority to register your desired name;

1.5 By registering or renewing a .uk top-level domain and agreeing to these terms & conditions, You agree that You have read and agree to the Nominet Terms and conditions for .UK domain names.

1.6 We shall have no liability in respect of the use by you of any domain name; any dispute between you and any other person must be resolved between the parties concerned in such dispute. If any such dispute arises, we shall be entitled at our discretion and without giving any reason, to withhold, suspend or cancel the domain name. We shall also be entitled to make representations to the relevant naming authority but will not be obliged to take part in any such dispute;

1.7 We give no warranty that your domain name is or will continue to be available for your use or that no domain name is or will be registered which conflicts with your domain name or which otherwise affects your use of your domain name;

1.8 We shall not release any domain to another provider unless full payment for that domain has been received by us;

2. Fees

2.1 In consideration for Red providing domain name registration Services to You, You agree to pay Red, the amounts set forth in the Red Price Schedule, as amended from time to time, for the initial registration of the domain name and any subsequent renewals.

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

2.3 All fees must be paid within 30 days of invoice 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.

2.4 In the event of non-payment the domain name registration shall be transferred to Red as the paying entity for the registration. Red 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 £100.

3. Term

3.1 This Agreement shall remain in full force during the length of the term of Your domain name registration(s) as selected, recorded, and paid for upon registration of the domain name.
