in accordance with Section 10, ("Agreement") between
you ("you", "your”,” yours” or "Customer")
and Domains4Pick.com sets forth
the terms and conditions of your use of the services set forth
herein (collectively, the "Services").
In
this Service Agreement ("Agreement"), "you"
and "your" refer to each customer ("Customer")
and its agents, including each person listed in your account information
as being associated with your account, and "we", "us"
and "our" refer collectively to Domains4Pick.com. This Agreement explains
our obligations to you, and your obligations to us in relation
to the Domains4Pick.com service(s) you purchase. By purchasing
Domains4Pick.com service(s)
you agree to establish an account with us for such services. When
you use your account or permit someone else to use your account
to purchase or otherwise acquire access to additional Domains4Pick.com
service(s) or to modify or cancel your Domains4Pick.com
service(s) (even if we were not notified of such authorization),
this Agreement as amended covers any such service or actions.
Additionally, you agree that each person listed in your account
information as being associated with your account for any services
provided to you (including, but not limited to, domain name registration
services) is your agent with full authority to act on your behalf
with respect to such services in accordance with the permissions
granted, and that the Primary Contact and Account Administrative
Contact for your account shall have the authority, without limitation,
to terminate, transfer (where transfer is permitted by the Agreement),
or modify such services or your account information, or purchase
additional services. Any acceptance of your application(s) or
requests for our services and the performance of our services
will occur at our offices in Opebi, Ikeja, Lagos, the location of our principal places of
business. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this
Agreement, you agree that if you list, directly or by default,
Domains4Pick.com as a contact for your account and/or
any of the services in your account, we have the right, without
notice, to remove our name and/or information from any such account
or service and to replace the same with the name and/or information
provided by you for any other contact associated with that account
or service.

in this Agreement the masculine, feminine, or neutral gender is
used, it will be construed as including all genders, and whenever
the singular is used, it will be deemed to include the plural
and vice versa, where the context so required.

VARIOUS SERVICES.
Sections 1 through 27 apply to any
and all Domains4Pick.com services that you purchase. The terms and conditions
set forth in Schedules A through M of this Agreement apply only to customers
who have purchased the Domains4Pick.com services referenced in those Schedules. In the event
of any inconsistency between the terms of Sections 1 through 27
apply and the terms of Schedules A through
M, the terms of Schedules A through M shall
control with regard to the applicable Domains4Pick.com service. IMPORTANT NOTICE CONCERNING BUNDLED SERVICES:
If you purchase Domains4Pick.com services that are sold together as a "bundled"
package (e.g., you select a Hosting package that includes both
a domain name and a Web Site Hosting, as opposed to your purchasing
such services separately), termination of any part of the services
will result in termination of all Domains4Pick.com services provided as part of the bundled package.
Please see Section 10(d) of this Agreement for more information.
3.
FEES, PAYMENT AND TERM OF SERVICE.
As consideration for the services you purchased, you agree
to pay Domains4Pick.com the applicable service(s) fees set forth on our Web
site at the time of your selection, or, if applicable, upon receipt
of your invoice from Domains4Pick.com. All fees are due immediately and
are non-refundable, except as otherwise expressly noted in one
or more of Schedules A through M. If you qualify,
we may extend payment terms to you under our Business Account
Credit Program. Unless otherwise specified herein or on our Web
site, each Domains4Pick.com service is for a one-year initial term and renewable
thereafter for successive one to ten-year terms, as set forth
during the renewal process. Any renewal of your services with
us is subject to our then current terms and conditions, including,
but not limited to, successful completion of any applicable authentication
procedure, and payment of all applicable service fees at the time
of renewal and in the case of domain name re-registration, the
domain name registry's acceptance of your domain name registration.
Except with respect to service to which you subscribe on a monthly
basis, we will endeavor to provide you notice prior to the renewal
of your services at least fifteen (15) days in advance of the
renewal date. Additional payment terms may apply to the Domains4Pick.com services you purchase, as set forth in the applicable
Schedules to this Agreement. We may provide you with an opportunity
to "opt in" to our automatic renewal process in accordance
with the instructions (and subject to your agreement to the terms
and conditions pertaining to that process) on our Web site. You
agree that if you make use of our auto-renew service, we will attempt
to renew your service approximately forty-five (45) days prior
to its expiration, for the same term then-currently in place for
the service, and at the then-current price for the service.
You acknowledge and agree that the renewal price may be higher
or lower than the price you paid for the then-current term of
the service, and that we are authorized to charge your credit
card on file for the renewal of the service(s). In any event,
you are solely responsible for the credit card information you
provide to Domains4Pick.com and

date or account number). In addition, you are solely responsible
for ensuring the services are renewed. Domains4Pick.com shall have no liability to you or any third party
in connection with the renewal as described herein, including,
but not limited to, any failure or errors in renewing the services.
In order to process a renewal under our auto-renew service, we
may use third-party vendors for the purpose of updating the expiration
date of your credit card on file. Such third-party vendors
maintain relationships with various credit card issuers and may
be able to provide us with the updated expiration date for your
credit card by comparing the information we have on file with
the information the third-party has on file. By selecting
our auto-renew service, you acknowledge and agree that we may
share your credit card information with such a third-party vendor
for the purpose of obtaining any update to your credit card expiration
date. You agree to pay all value added, sales and other taxes
(other than taxes based on Domains4Pick.com income) related to Domains4Pick.com services or payments made by you hereunder. All payments
of fees for Domains4Pick.com services shall be made in U.S. dollars except otherwise
set forth herein. Set up fees, if any, will become payable on
the applicable effective date for the applicable Domains4Pick.com services. All sums due and payable that remain unpaid
after any applicable cure period herein will accrue interest as
a late charge of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount allowed
by law, whichever is less.

not to renew your domain name during any applicable grace period,
you agree that we may, in our sole discretion, renew and transfer
the domain name to a third party on your behalf (such a transaction
is hereinafter referred to as a “Direct Transfer”). In the event
we are able to identify such a third party (the “Direct Transfer
Customer”) and effectuate such a Direct Transfer, we will notify
you via email after the transaction is completed (“Direct Transfer
Notification”). Additionally, you will be eligible to receive
a portion of the funds received by us as a result of a Direct
Transfer of your domain name, as follows: (i)
if you registered your domain name with Domains4Pick.com
directly through our Web site, you will be eligible to receive
twenty percent (20%) of the Net Proceeds received by us from our
third party vendor as a result of a Direct Transfer; and (ii)
if you registered your domain name with Domains4Pick.com
through a third party agent (such as your ISP, for example), you

received by us from our third party vendor as a result of a Direct
Transfer. You acknowledge and agree that the Direct Transfer process
may be facilitated through a single Direct Transfer Customer,
or through a brief auction involving multiple parties who are
interested in your domain name. For purposes of this paragraph,
“Net Proceeds” shall mean the total fees paid to us by our third
party vendor as a result of a Direct Transfer, less any registry
fees, credit card charge-backs, processing and check fees, and
other costs or fees associated with the Direct Transfer of the
domain name. You agree that we shall have no obligation to pay
you, and you shall have no right to receive, any percentage of
the Net Proceeds unless, within ninety (90) days after the date
of our Direct Transfer Notification, you first provide us with
the name, address and related information requested by us (including,
but not limited to, a Form W-9, if applicable) in our Direct Transfer
Notification. We cannot guarantee, and we make no representation
or promise, that any Direct Transfer will occur with respect to
your domain name.

was registered with, and not yet deleted by, at the time of your
purchase, you acknowledge and agree that the term of your registration
will be for a period of one year from the original expiration
date for the domain name immediately prior to your purchase, as

and the domain name was not registered with Domains4Pick.com at the time of your purchase but

of your registration will be for a period of one year from the

Additional Representations and Warranties

Acknowledgment of Dispute Policies and Rules
The registrant
acknowledges having read and understood and agrees 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:
(i) The Uniform Domain Name Dispute
Policy, available at http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp.htm;
(ii) The
Start-up Trademark Opposition Policy ("STOP"), available
at http://www.neulevel.com/countdown/stop.html;
(iii)
The Restrictions Dispute Resolution Criteria and Rules, available

If
at the time of your application for services in the .biz TLD,
any of the above policies or rules (collectively “. biz Policies”) have not yet been
approved by ICANN (which may mean the .biz Policies are not available
for viewing via live hyperlinks above), you agree to be bound
by the terms of such .biz Policies upon such approval and in the
final form approved by ICANN, as posted on our Web site or the
ICANN Web site (located at www.icann.org). You agree that,
by maintaining the services provided hereunder (which may include
registration of a domain name) after such posting of any of the
ICANN approved .biz Policies, you have agreed to the terms and
conditions of the same. You acknowledge that if you do not
agree to the .biz Policies, you may terminate this Agreement.
We will not refund any fees paid by you if you terminate your
Agreement with us.
3.
Registry Actions or Inactions
Our ability to provide services
to you depends in part upon the provision of services by third
parties, such as the .biz registry. We cannot control and will
not be responsible for the actions or inactions of such third
parties. For example, the .biz registry has reserved the
right to deny, cancel or transfer any domain name registration
under certain circumstances. You acknowledge and agree that
we shall not be liable to you or any other party in connection
with claims, damages, losses, expenses or costs incurred or suffered
by you as a result of actions taken or not taken by third parties,
including, but not limited to, the .biz registry.
4.
Multiple Phases of Services
Your application or registration
(whether successful or not) for any .biz registry or .biz TLD
services hereunder does not guarantee, and we do not promise,
that you will be approved or eligible for any other services available
or that may become available through us or any third party.
For example, certain services in the .biz TLD are provided in
sequential phases, and participation in one phase, does not automatically
qualify you for participation in other phases, and any further
participation is not automatic. The .biz registry, and not
Domains4Pick.com, determines the dates and times associated with
the various service phases available in the .biz TLD. You agree
to review and become familiar with the information available on
our Web site and on the .biz Web site concerning the various phases
and descriptions of services available in connection with .biz
TLD, and to regularly check for modifications and/or updates to
such information, as the same may change from time to time.
You agree that you are solely responsible for applying and/or
registering for the service phases you desire to participate in.
Additionally, you acknowledge and agree that submission of an
application for domain name registration or any other services,
does not guarantee that you will ultimately be the registrant
for a particular domain name, even if you participated in some
other service associated with the domain name, such as an intellectual
property notification service or similar service.
5.
Additional Acknowledgments Concerning Customer Information
You also acknowledge and agree that Domains4Pick.com will share
with the .biz registry certain information submitted by you in
your application(s) for our services, as required by our agreement(s)
with the .biz registry or to provide the services you have applied
for. You acknowledge and agree that any information we share
with the .biz registry may be used by them to fulfill the .biz
registry’s service obligations to us or any third party. You hereby
grant us and the .biz registry a limited, royalty-free, non-exclusive
worldwide license to use all of the data contained in a Trademark
6.
Disclaimer Concerning Intellectual Property Notification Service
Your participation in an intellectual property notification service
or similar service DOES NOT PROVIDE YOU WITH ANY INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY PROTECTIONS OR REGISTRATIONS, NOR DOES IT PROVIDE YOU
WITH ANY RIGHTS TO ANY PARTICULAR DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION.
THIS IS A NOTIFICATION SERVICE ONLY. EVEN IF YOU PARTICIPATE
IN THIS SERVICE, YOU MUST STILL SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR DOMAIN
NAME REGISTRATION SERVICES TO BE ELIGIBLE TO BECOME THE REGISTRANT
FOR THE DESIRED DOMAIN NAME(S).
7.
Survival of Terms
You agree that the indemnity provisions
set forth in this Schedule shall survive any termination of the
Agreement.
8.
Terms of Use for IP Claim Service
The following additional
terms apply specifically to the Intellectual Property Claim Service
(in this Section 8 of this Schedule, the “Claim Service”) made

shall mean the owner of a registered or common law trademark or
service mark and “Agent” shall mean the duly authorized agent
of an Owner (collectively “You”), and “Registrar” shall mean Domains4Pick.com.
These Terms of Use will continue to apply to all past use of the

no longer using the Claim Service. You acknowledge and agree
that Registrar may terminate or block Your
use of all or part of the Claim Service without prior notice for
any reason, including, without limitation, if Registrar believes
You have engaged in conduct prohibited by these Terms of Use.
(a). The Claim Service
Registrar provides the Claim Service
to holders of both registered and common law trademarks or service
marks (collectively “Trademarks”). During the domain name application
process, applicants for a .biz domain name (“Applicants”) will
be notified of an Owner’s alleged intellectual property rights
in a Trademark if the domain name contained in the domain name
application is an exact match of the Trademark identified in an
IP Claim (as defined below) submitted by Owner.
(b).
License to Use Data / Privacy
By submitting an IP Claim, You
hereby grant Registrar, as well as any of its agents or subcontractors,
and the .biz registry, a limited, royalty-free, non-exclusive
worldwide license to use all of the data contained in the IP Claim
solely for the purposes of implementing the Claim Service, processing
Your IP Claim, notifying Applicants of Your IP Claim, and for
notifying You of changes to the Claim Service, and for archival
purposes.
(c).
The IP Claim Process
In order to submit
a claim with respect to a Trademark or Trademarks (“IP Claim”)
through the Claim Service, You must complete an IP Claim form
for each Trademark. For each IP Claim, You must submit complete
contact information, representative contact information and notification
details, and the details regarding the Trademark. You may specify
in the representative field that an Agent may receive legal correspondence
regarding the IP Claim. Once You have
submitted an IP Claim, you will receive a confirmation email and
a claim number. You must retain the claim number for each IP Claim
You submit. Registrar will accept IP
Claims until July 9, 2001, or such later date as it may determine
in its sole discretion (“Close of Phase I”) and no IP Claims will
be accepted after that date. From the Close of Phase I until September
25, 2001 (“Phase 2”), or such other later
date as Registrar may choose, in its sole discretion, the domain
name applications from ICANN-approved registrars (“Applications”)
will be compared with the database of IP Claims processed through
the Claim Service (“IP Claim Database”). For each exact match
between an IP Claim in the IP Claim Database and a domain name
application, the Registry Operator for .Biz (“Registry Operator”)
will notify the Applicant that a third party or third parties
have submitted an IP Claim for the exact Trademark. The email
notification to the Applicant will include, among other things,
the information provided by Owner in the IP Claim, instructions
on how to proceed with the registration process, and that if selected
during the randomized name selection phase (“Name Selection Phase”),
the domain name will be placed on a temporary thirty (30) day
hold when the Registry goes “live.” The Applicant will have the
option to proceed with the Application or cancel the Application.
If the Applicant does not respond to the email notification, or
elects to cancel the Application, the Applicant’s domain name
application will not be processed during the Name Selection Phase.
If the Applicant chooses to proceed with the registration process
and the name is selected during the Name Selection Phase, that
domain name automatically will be placed on a thirty (30) day
“hold period” when the name is registered. After Name Selection,
the Owner will be notified by Registry Operator if an Applicant
has successfully registered the domain name. The Owner will then
have the option of contacting the Applicant and finding a solution
or using the guidelines set forth by a special dispute resolution
process called the Start-up Trademark Opposition Policy (“STOP”)
(formerly referred to as the Start-up Dispute Resolution Policy
or “SUDRP”) (information available at http://www.neulevel.com/countdown/stop.html),
or the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute Resolution Procedures (“UDRP”)
(information is available at http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp-policy-24oct99.htm).
You will not be notified if there are no Applications that exactly
match an IP Claim You submitted in the IP Claim Database.
USE
OF THE SERVICE DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT AN OWNER WILL BE AWARDED
THE .BIZ EXTENSION FOR ITS TRADEMARK. AN OWNER THAT WISHES TO
OBTAIN A .BIZ EXTENSION FOR ITS TRADEMARK MUST FILE A DOMAIN NAME
APPLICATION. DOMAIN NAME APPLICANTS WILL ONLY BE NOTIFIED
OF APPLICATIONS THAT ARE EXACT MATCHES WITH A TRADEMARK IDENTIFIED
IN AN IP CLAIM FORM. REGISTRAR WILL NOT VERIFY WHETHER A TRADEMARK
CLAIMED ON AN IP CLAIM FORM CORRESPONDS WITH AN ACTUAL, LEGAL
OR VALID TRADEMARK, NOR WILL REGISTRAR PROVIDE ANY LEGAL OVERSIGHT
OR ADJUDICATION FOR ANY DISPUTED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IMPLICATED
BY THE SERVICE.
(d).
Conduct
You agree to be bound by the applicable provisions
of the Domains4Pick.com Acceptable Use Policy, incorporated herein
and made part of this Agreement by reference, in connection with
your use of the services described in this Schedule.
(e)
Fees
As consideration for the Claim Service, Registrar, or its
agents or subcontractors may require you to submit and pay for
each IP Claim individually or it may allow you store up a certain
number of IP Claims before submitting them for processing. Once
you have stored that number of IP Claims, you may not be able
to store any additional IP Claims and may need to submit them
for processing and pay the applicable fee before obtaining additional
storage space. No refunds are permitted.
(f).
Links
Some links on the Claim Service lead to sites posted by
independent site owners. Because Registrar has no control over
these sites, it cannot be responsible for such sites’ accessibility
via the Internet and does not endorse products, services, or information
provided by such sites. As such, Registrar shall not be responsible
or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused
or alleged to be caused by or in connection with, use or reliance
on any content, goods or services available on or through any
other site. Further, the inclusion of these links does not imply
that the other sites have given permission for inclusion of these
links, or that there is any relationship between Registrar and
the linked sites.
(g).
Modifications to the Claim Service
Registrar reserves the right
at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily
or permanently, the Claim Service (or any part thereof) with or
without notice. You agree that the Registrar will not be liable to You
or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation
of the Claim Services.
(h).
Third Party Beneficiary
Registry Operator (“NeuLevel”) is an
intended third party beneficiary of these Term and Conditions
with rights to enforce these Terms of Use. You will cooperate
in good faith with NeuLevel or Registrar in investigating instances
of non-compliance with these Terms of Use, if NeuLevel or Registrar
believes in good faith that you are not in compliance with these
Terms of Use.
(i). You agree that Registrar and Registry Operator are
not responsible for checking, verifying or editing message content
or completeness, or for detecting errors or anomalies, or for
recreating or re-transmitting data.

the results of any dispute over a “Sunrise Registration.”
If

and in the final form approved by ICANN, as posted on our Web
site or the ICANN Web site (located at http://www.icann.org).

Registry Actions or Inactions
Our ability to provide services
to you depends in part upon the provision of services by third
parties, such as the .info registry. We cannot control and will
not be responsible for the actions or inactions of such third
parties. For example, the . info
registry has reserved the right to refuse or cancel any Sunrise
Registration at any time and to request additional information
relating to a Sunrise Registration. You acknowledge and
agree that we shall not be liable to you or any other party in
connection with claims, damages, losses, expenses or costs incurred
or suffered by you as a result of actions taken or not taken by
third parties, including, but not limited to, the .info
registry.
3.
No Guarantee on Registration
The
.info registry, and not Domains4Pick.com, determines the dates
and times associated with the various service periods available
in the .info TLD. You agree to review and become familiar with
the information available on our Web site and on the .info Web
site concerning the various periods and descriptions of services
available in connection with .info TLD, and to regularly check
for modifications and/or updates to such information, as the same
may change from time to time. You agree that you are solely
responsible for applying and/or registering for the service periods
you desire to participate in. You acknowledge and agree
that submission of an application for domain name registration
or any other services (regardless of when submitted), does
not guarantee that you will ultimately be the registrant for a
particular domain name.

Disclaimer Concerning Intellectual
Property Protection
Your application for a Sunrise Registration
DOES NOT PROVIDE YOU WITH ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTIONS
OR REGISTRATIONS.
