7. DOMAIN NAME DISPUTE POLICY.

If Verelink is notified that a complaint has been filed with a judicial or administrative body regarding YOUR domain name, Verelink may in its sole discretion, suspend YOUR ability to use YOUR domain name or to make modifications to YOUR registration records until either Verelink (i) is directed to do so by the judicial or administrative body, or (ii) receives notification by YOU and the other party contesting YOUR domain that the dispute has been settled. If YOU are subject to litigation regarding YOUR registration or use of YOUR domain name, Verelink may deposit control of YOUR registration record into the relevant TLD registry or judicial body by supplying a third party with a registrar certificate from Verelink. For any dispute, YOU irrevocably agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the district of San Francisco, California, USA.

YOU further designate Verelink, Inc. to act on your behalf and as your domain name temporary administrative contact when required, and agree that WE may take all steps necessary to ensure both renewal and transfer of the subject domain name to Verelink, Inc. as the registrar of record.

10. FURTHER AGREEMENTS.
In the case of all domain names regardless of name extension, YOU further agree to be bound by the terms of registration as promulgated by the relevant TLD Registry and other relevant registrars if applicable, from time to time, these terms being continually incorporated herein by reference.

11. AGENCY.
Regardless of whether YOU intend to license use of a domain name to a third party YOU are nonetheless the domain name holder of record and are therefore responsible for providing YOUR own full contact information, and for providing and updating accurate technical and administrative contact information adequate to facilitate timely resolution of any problems that arise in connection with YOUR domain name. YOU accept all liability for harm caused by wrongful use of the domain name by YOUR licensee unless YOU promptly disclose the identity of the licensee to a party providing YOU with reasonable evidence of actionable harm. YOU also represent that YOU have provided notice of the terms and conditions in this Agreement to YOUR licensee, and that YOUR licensee agrees to all the terms herein.

12. ANNOUNCEMENTS.
WE reserve the right to distribute information to YOU that is pertinent to the quality or operation of OUR services and those of OUR service partners. These announcements will be predominately informative in nature and may include notices describing changes, upgrades, new products or other information to add security or to enhance YOUR identity on the Internet. YOU agree that such information is prima facie communication solicited by YOU, by virtue of YOUR acceptance of this agreement.

13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
YOU agree that OUR entire liability, and YOUR exclusive remedy, with respect to any Services(s) provided under this Agreement and any breach of this Agreement is solely limited to the amount YOU paid for such Service(s). WE are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages resulting from the use or inability to use any of the Services or for the cost of procurement of substitute services. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states, OUR liability is limited to the extent permitted by law. WE disclaim any and all loss or liability including loss or liability resulting from: (1) access delays or access interruptions; (2) data non-delivery or data mis-delivery; (3) acts of God or acts not under OUR control; (4) the unauthorized use or misuse of YOUR account identifier or password; (5) errors, omissions, or misstatements in any and all information or services(s) provided under this Agreement; (6) the interruption of YOUR Service. YOU agree that WE are not liable for any loss of registration and use of YOUR domain name, or for interruption of business, or any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind (including lost profits) regardless of the form of action whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, even if WE have been advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event will OUR maximum liability exceed five hundred ($500.00 USD) dollars.

14. INDEMNITY.
YOU agree to release, indemnify, and hold US, OUR contractors including any relevant TLD registry, agents, employees, officers, directors and affiliates harmless from all liabilities, claims and expenses, including attorney's fees, of third parties relating to or arising under this Agreement, the Services provided hereunder or YOUR use of the Services, including without limitation infringement by YOU, or someone else using the Service with YOUR computer, of any intellectual property or other proprietary right of any person or entity, or from the violation of any of OUR operating rules or policy relating to the service(s) provided. YOU also agree to release, indemnify and hold US harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in any applicable Dispute Policy. If WE are threatened with such a claim by a third party, WE may seek written assurances from YOU concerning YOUR promise to indemnify US; YOUR failure to provide those assurances will be deemed a breach of this Agreement and may result in deactivation of YOUR domain name.

15. TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP.
The person named as administrative contact at the time the controlling user name and password are secured is the owner of the domain name. YOU agree that prior to transferring ownership of YOUR domain name to another person (transferee) YOU will require the transferee to agree, in writing to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. YOUR domain name will not be transferred until WE receive such written assurance or other reasonable assurance that the transferee has been bound by the contractual terms of this Agreement (such reasonable assurance as determined by US in OUR sole discretion) along with the applicable transfer fee. If the transferee fails to be bound in a reasonable fashion (as determine by US in OUR sole discretion) to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, any such transfer will be null and void.

16. BREACH.
YOU agree that failure to abide by any provision of this Agreement, any operating rule or policy or the Dispute Policy provided by US, may be considered by US to be a material breach and that WE may provide a written notice, describing the breach, to YOU. If within 30 (thirty) calendar days of the date of such notice, YOU fail to provide evidence, which is reasonably satisfactory to US, that YOU have not breached YOUR obligations under the Agreement, then WE may delete the registration or reservation of YOUR domain name. Any such breach by YOU will not be excused simply because WE did not act earlier in response to that, or any other breach by YOU.

17. NO GUARANTY.
YOU agree that, by registration or reservation of YOUR chosen domain name, such registration or reservation does not confer immunity from objection to the registration, reservation, or use of the domain name.
