DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION AGREEMENT

1. Introduction 
This Registration Agreement ("Agreement") sets forth the terms and conditions of your use of the domain name registration services of OnlineNIC 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 fee schedule, dispute policy and any rules or policies that are or may become effective when published by 
OnlineNIC. This Agreement will become effective if accepted by OnlineNIC. OnlineNIC is an accredited registrar with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") under an agreement between OnlineNIC and ICANN ("ICANN Agreement"). You acknowledge that OnlineNIC may modify this Agreement if necessary to comply with its ICANN Agreement, or otherwise. 

2. Selection of a Domain Name
We do not check to see whether the domain name you select, or the use you make of the domain name, infringes legal rights of others. We urge you to investigate to see whether the domain name you select or its use infringes legal rights of others, and in particular we suggest you seek advice of competent counsel. You may wish to consider seeking one or more trademark registrations in connection with your domain 
name. You should be aware that there is the possibility we might be ordered by a court to cancel, modify, or transfer your domain name. You should be aware that if we are sued or threatened with lawsuit in connection with your domain name, we may turn to you to hold us harmless and indemnify us, pursuant to the indemnification provision below. 

3. Fees and Payment
As consideration for the domain name registration services provided by OnlineNIC to you, you agree to pay OnlineNIC, at the time of submitting your application for registration, all applicable initial registration fees and renewal fees in accordance with OnlineNIC's fee schedule published at OnlineNIC's website. 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 the registration term. You will be notified when renewal fees 
are due, and it shall be your responsibility to ensure that such fees are paid. Should these fees go unpaid by the time specified in the renewal notice, your registration will be cancelled. You agree that OnlineNIC shall have no liability whatsoever with respect to any such cancellation. 

4.Charge Backs 
You agree that you will lose all rights upon the selected domain name in case of a charge back by your credit card company, credit card fraud or any other reserved payment. OnlineNIC will decide at his sole discretion whether to hold the name in his own portfolio or to release it for use by others.

5. Dispute Policy 
You agree to be bound by the current Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy ("Dispute Policy") which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference and made a part of this Agreement. Any disputes regarding the right to use your domain name will be subject to the Dispute Policy provisions in effect at the time your domain name registration is disputed by a third party, in the event such 
a dispute arises. You also agree that, in the event a domain name dispute arises with any third party, you will indemnify and hold OnlineNIC harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Dispute Policy. OnlineNIC may modify the Dispute Policy with the permission of ICANN at any time. Your continued registration of your domain name after modification to the Dispute Policy becomes effective constitutes your acceptance of those modifications. If you do not agree to such a modification, you may request that your domain name be deleted. 

6. Use of Your Information 
As part of the registration process, you are required to 
provide certain information and to update this information 
to keep it current, complete and accurate. This information 
includes (i) your full name, postal address, e-mail address, 
voice telephone number, and fax number if available; (ii) 
the name of an authorized person for contact purposes in the 
case of a registrant that is an organization, association, 
or corporation; (iii) the IP addresses of the primary 
nameserver and any secondary nameservers for the domain 
name; (iv) the corresponding names of those nameservers; (v) 
the full name, postal address, e-mail address, voice 
telephone number, and fax number if available of the 
technical contact for the domain name; (vi) the full name, 
postal address, e-mail address, voice telephone number, and 
fax number if available of the administrative contact for 
the domain name; (vii) the name, postal address, e-mail 
address, voice telephone number, and fax number if available 
of the zone contact for the domain name; and (viii) any 
remark concerning the registered domain name that should 
appear in the Whois data. You agree and acknowledge that 
when you renew your domain name registration, the type of 
information you are required to provide may have changed. If 
you do not wish to provide the new required information, 
your registration may not be renewed. You acknowledge that 
willfully providing inaccurate information or willfully 
failing to update information promptly will constitute a 
material breach of this Agreement and will be a basis for 
cancellation of your domain name. If you license use of a 
domain name to a third party, you are nonetheless the holder 
of record of the domain name and are responsible for 
providing your own full contact information and for 
providing and updating accurate technical, administrative, 
and zone contact information. You further agree that your 
failure to respond for over fifteen (15) calendar days to 
inquiries by OnlineNIC concerning the accuracy of contact 
details associated with your registration shall constitute a 
material breach of this Agreement and will be sufficient 
basis for cancellation of your domain name registration. You 
acknowledge that OnlineNIC will make some of the information 
that you provide during the registration process publicly 
available as required by ICANN. Additionally, you 
acknowledge that ICANN may impose guidelines, limits and/or 
requirements that relate to the amount and type of 
information that OnlineNIC may or must make available to the 
public or to private entities. OnlineNIC will not otherwise 
disclose your information to any third party unless it is 
required to maintain your domain name. You may request a 
copy of your information in OnlineNIC's possession to 
review, modify or update such information.
7. Use Policies
OnlineNIC, Inc. will suspend or stop the use of the domain 
name including (but not limited to) modifying DNS, modifying 
registration information or delete domain name without 
further notice, no refund of the registration fee or renewal 
fee if(1)a registered domain name is purposely used to send 
out mass spams like mass unsolicited, commercial advertising 
or solicitations and so on, (2)or used to send out 
retroactive, pornographic or other harmful emails that 
violate the country laws and rules, (3)or used to receive 
the returned emails of the above emails, (4)or used to 
resolve, point or forward to the website with harmful 
information that violate the country laws and rules, (5)or

8. Agents and Licenses 
You agree that, if your domain name is registered on your 
behalf by anyone acting as your agent (e.g., an Internet 
Service Provider, employee, etc.), you are nonetheless bound 
as a principal by all terms and conditions provided herein, 
including the Dispute Policy. You agree that if you license 
the use of your domain name to a third party, you remain the 
domain name holder, and remain responsible for all 
obligations under this Agreement.

(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ONLINENIC HAS 
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT 
SHALL ONLINENIC'S MAXIMUM LIABILITY EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT 
PAID BY YOU TO ONLINENIC FOR REGISTRATION OF YOUR DOMAIN 
NAME DURING THE PRIOR 3 YEARS UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS 
AGREEMENT. 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. 
10. Indemnification 
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless OnlineNIC 
and any applicable domain name Registry, including Network 
Solutions Inc.,and the directors, officers, employees and

name or the use thereof. This indemnification is in addition 
to any indemnification required under the Dispute Policy. 
11. Representations and Warranties 
You represent and warrant that, to the best of your 
knowledge and belief, neither the registration of the domain 
name nor the manner in which it is directly or indirectly 
used infringes the legal rights of a third party. You 
further represent and warrant that all information provided 
by you in connection with your registration is complete and 
accurate. OnlineNIC makes no representations or warranties 
of any kind that registration or use of a domain name under 
this Agreement will protect you either from challenges to 
your domain name registration or from suspension, 
cancellation or transfer of the domain name registered to 
you. 
12. Breach and Revocation 
Any breach by you of this Agreement or the Dispute Policy 
must be remedied by you within 30 days of notice by

domain name. You further acknowledge and agree that your 
registration of a domain name is subject to suspension, 
cancellation or transfer by any ICANN procedure, by any 
registrar (including OnlineNIC) or registry administrator 
procedures approved by an ICANN-adopted policy, or by any 
other TLD registry administrator procedures as the case may 
be, (a) to correct mistakes by OnlineNIC, another registrar 
or the registry administrator in administering the name or 
(b) for the resolution of disputes concerning the domain 
name. You also agree that OnlineNIC shall have the right in 
its sole discretion to suspend, cancel, transfer, or 
otherwise modify a domain name registration upon seven (7) 
calendar days prior written notice, or at such time as 
OnlineNIC receives a properly authenticated order from a 
court of competent jurisdiction, or arbitration award, 
requiring the suspension, cancellation transfer or 
modification of the domain name registration. 
13. Change in Registrar
NSI policy permits Registrant to change its Registrar for an 
existing domain name. You agree that you can change the 
Registrar only in accordance with the policy or other policy 
from time to time provided by ICANN. The policy provides:

new two year Registration Agreement and to pay the 
appropriate registration fee;(b). You obtains no refund of 
any part of the fee paid to existing Registrar.

17. General 
This Agreement, the OnlineNIC fee schedule and the Dispute Policy, together with all amendments or modifications to any of them, constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between you and OnlineNIC, and supersede and govern all prior proposals, agreements, or other communications. 
Nothing contained in this Policy shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the parties. The failure of OnlineNIC to require your performance of any provision hereof shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by OnlineNIC of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or be so held by applicable court decision, such unenforceability or invalidity shall 
not render this Agreement unenforceable or invalid as a whole. OnlineNIC will amend or replace such provision with one that is valid and enforceable and which achieves, to the extent possible, the original objectives and intent of OnlineNIC as reflected in the original provision. No provision of this Agreement, including the OnlineNIC fee schedule and the Dispute Policy, may not be amended or modified by you except by means of a written document signed by OnlineNIC.
