This Registration Agreement ("Agreement") sets forth the terms and conditions of your use of the NameServices domain name registration services to register an Internet domain name, as well as your registration of that domain name. To complete the registration process, you must acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement, the accompanying dispute policy and any rules or policies that are or may be published by NameServices from time to time. This Agreement will become effective when accepted by NameServices. NameServices may elect to accept or reject your domain name registration application for any reason at its sole discretion, such rejection including, but not limited to, rejection due to a request for registration of a prohibited domain name.

1. What We Do
   
   AITDomains, or aitdomains.com, is an accredited registrar with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") for the .com, .net, .org, .biz, and .info TLDs. ICANN oversees registry administrators (Registry Operators), who in turn oversee these TLDs. As an accredited domain name registrar, AITDomains is, upon accepting your domain name registration application, your sponsor for that application. No domain name registrations we register for .com, .net, .org, .biz, and .info are not effective until we have delivered the domain name registration information you provide us to the Registry Operator for the appropriate TLD, as applicable, and the Registry Operator puts into effect your domain name registration. Currently, the Registry Operator for the .com, .net and .org TLDs is VeriSign, Inc. The Registry Operator for the .biz TLD is presently NeuLevel, Inc., and for the .info TLD is Afilias, Ltd.
   
   The relationship between you, as a Registrant, and aitdomains.com will be governed in large part by prior understandings between aitdomain.com and the Registry Operators, and by prior understandings between the Registry Operators and ICANN. ICANN standards, policies, procedures, and practices for which each Registry Operator has monitoring responsibility in accordance with the Registry Agreement or other arrangement with ICANN shall take precedence over anything in this Agreement, in the event of conflict(s). 
   
   Operational standards, policies, procedures, and practices for the Registry TLD established from time to time by the Registry Operator in a non-arbitrary manner and applicable to all registrars, including affiliates of the Registry Operator, and consistent with ICANN’s standards, policies, procedures, and practices, and the Registry Operator’s Registry Agreement with ICANN, shall also take precedence over this Agreement in the event of conflict(s). Additional or revised Registry Operator operational standards, policies, procedures, and practices for the Registry TLD shall be effective upon thirty days notice by the Registry Operator to aitdomains.com, the Registrar.
   
   Entering into this Agreement requires you to agree and acknowledge that AITDomains is not liable or responsible in any way for any errors, omissions, or any other actions by ICANN or by the Registry Operator arising out of or related to your application and receipt of, or failure to receive, a domain name registration. 
   
   You further agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Registry Operator and its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) arising out of, or related to, your domain name registration. 
   
2. Fees 
   
   As consideration for the domain name registration services provided by AITDomains to you, you agree to pay AITDomains, prior to the effectiveness of the desired domain name registration, the amounts set forth by AITDomains, for the initial registration of the domain name and, should you choose to renew the registration, for subsequent renewals of the registration. All fees are non-refundable, in whole or in part, even if your domain name registration is suspended, cancelled, or transferred prior to the end of your then-current registration term. Your requested domain name will not be registered unless we receive actual payment of the registration fee, or reasonable assurance of payment of the registration fee from some other entity (such reasonable assurance to be determined by AITDomains in its sole discretion). 
   
   In the event of a charge-back by a credit card company (or similar action by another payment provider allowed by us) in connection with the payment of the registration or renewal fee for your domain name registration, you agree and acknowledge that the domain name registration shall be transferred to AITDomains as the paying entity for that registration to the Registry Operator. We will reinstate your domain name registration solely at our discretion, and subject to our receipt of the initial registration or renewal fee and our then-current reinstatement fee, presently set at US $200. 
   
   We will make reasonable efforts to send you a notice or reminder within the sixty (60) days immediately before your current registration period expires. Ultimately, however, the responsibility for initiating renewal is yours alone, and aitdomains has NO LIABILITY in connection therewith. If you wish to renew the registration, you must notify us and pay a renewal fee. Should you fail to notify us, or should the renewal fee go unpaid within the time specified in a second notice or reminder, your registration will be cancelled. To notify us and pay the renewal fee, you must log into your account via the aitdomains web site, and follow the precise steps outlined there.
   
3. Dispute Policy(ies)
   
   Entering into this Agreement requires that you, the Applicant, acknowledge having read and understood, and that you agree to be bound by, the terms and conditions of the following document, as it may be amended by AITDomains from time to time, which is hereby incorporated and made an integral part of this Agreement: The AITDomains Domain Name Dispute Policy (“AITDomains Dispute Policy"), which can be found at < http://aitdomains.com/legal/dispute.htm >.Certain disputes, as specified in the AITDomains Dispute Policy, are subject to and governed by that Policy. You agree that you will be subject to and governed by the provisions specified in the AITDomains Dispute Policy in effect at the time your domain name registration is disputed by a third party, in the event such dispute arises. You also agree that, in the event a domain name dispute arises with any third party, you will indemnify and hold AITDomains harmless, pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the AITDomains Dispute Policy. 
   
   If you are an Applicant for a domain name in the .biz TLD, you further acknowledge having read and understood, and you agree to be bound by, the terms and conditions of the following additional documents, as they may be amended from time to time, which are hereby incorporated and made an integral part of this Agreement: i. The Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (“UDRP”), available at < http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp.htm >;ii.

4. Modifications to Registration Agreement and to AITDomains Dispute Policy You acknowledge that the domain name system and the practice of registering and administering domain names are evolving, and therefore you agree that AITDomains may modify this Agreement and the AITDomains Dispute Policy, if necessary to comply with its ICANN Agreement and its Agreement with the Registry Operator(s), and any related Agreements that AITDomains is currently bound by or will be bound by in the future, as well as to adjust to changing business circumstances.
   
   Your continued use of the domain name registered to you shall constitute your acceptance of this Agreement, and of the AITDomains Dispute Policy, with any such modifications. If you do not agree to such changes, you may request that your domain name registration be cancelled or transferred to a different domain name registrar. You agree that such cancellation or request for transfer will be your exclusive remedy if you do not wish to abide by any changes to this Agreement or the AITDomains Dispute Policy.
