Domain Registration Agreement

This Agreement describes additional terms and conditions that, together with the AT&T Web Hosting Terms and Conditions agreed to by Customer, will govern Customer’s purchase and use of Domain Name Registration (“DNR”) services when ordered by Customer from AT&T. In this Agreement, the terms You, Your and similar terms shall refer to you as Customer.

You have requested domain name services from AT&T Internet Services ("AT&T"1). AT&T has selected two third party accredited registrars, Melbourne IT Limited ("MelbIT") and Tucows (“Tucows”) (collectively, “Third Party Registrars”), as providers of domain name registrar services for AT&T Web Hosting Service Customers. The charges for the services provided under this Registration Agreement ("Agreement") are the fees payable by You to AT&T under your agreement with AT&T ("Hosting Fees") and as set forth in the AT&T Web Hosting Terms and Conditions (http://webhosting.att.com/Terms-Conditions.aspx) and other agreement terms agreed to during ordering.

If You have already registered Your domain name with another registrar and are currently requesting only Internet hosting services from AT&T, this Agreement will apply only to future requests from You to AT&T for future domain name registrations. You agree to be bound by this Agreement for any future .com, .net, .org, .info, or .biz or other domain names that You may register through the Third-Party Registrars. Any domain names You currently hold that are registered with another registrar are governed by Your agreement with that registrar.

You agree that this is an Agreement between You, AT&T and the Third Party Registrar (either MelbIT or Tucows as may be applicable). You agree that AT&T has the sole discretion as to which Third Party Registrar (MelbIT or Tucows) is selected to provide You with Domain Name Registration. You agree that AT&T may modify this agreement to change which Third Party Registrars will be used (including the addition or new Third Party Registrars or the elimination of a current Third Party Registrar). Hereafter, when the Agreement refers to a Third Party Registrar, You should understand that it refers to the specific registrar (currently MelbIT or Tucows) selected by AT&T at the time of Your order. The Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of Your use of the domain name registration services of the Third Party Registrar to register an Internet domain name, as well as Your registration and use 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 Your agreement with AT&T, the AT&T Web Hosting General Terms and Conditions, this Agreement, the applicable Domain Name Dispute Policy and any rules or policies relating to domain name and related Internet services that are or may become effective as published by the Third Party Registrar or AT&T.

In addition to the terms conditions in this Agreement, You agree that you are bound by the applicable Third-Party Registrar’s Terms and Conditions selected by AT&T. Links to the Third-Party Registrar Terms and Conditions are below. You may ascertain which Third-Party Registrar’s Terms apply to them by searching for their domain on www.whois.net after purchase. The Third-Party Registrars’ Terms and Conditions of Service: MelbIT: www.melbourneit.com.au/policies/gtldtermcond.php3 and Tucows: www.opensrs.com/docs/contracts/exhibita.htm.

The Third Party Registrars are accredited registrars with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") for the .com, .net, and .org Top Level Domains ("TLD"). ICANN oversees the .com, .net and .org TLDs. You agree that the Third Party Registrar may modify this Agreement as necessary to comply with its agreement with ICANN. No domain name registrations that You seek to register for .com, .net and .org will be effective until (a) AT&T has delivered the domain name registration information You provide to AT&T to the registry administrator for the .com, .net or .org TLDs, as applicable, (b) AT&T has accepted Your registration following Your payment of the Hosting Fees, and (c) the registry administrator puts into effect Your domain name registration. The Third Party Registrar 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.

You agree and acknowledge that neither the Third Party Registrar nor AT&T is liable or responsible in any way for any errors, omissions or any other actions by the registry administrator arising out of or related to Your application and receipt of, or failure to receive, a domain name registration.

Selection of a Domain Name

AT&T does 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 AT&T suggests 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 AT&T might be ordered by a court to cancel, modify, or transfer Your domain name. You represent and warrant to AT&T and the Third Party Registrar that (i) neither the registration of the domain name nor the manner in which it is directly or indirectly used infringes the legal rights of any third party; (ii) all information provided in connection with any domain name registration is and shall remain accurate; and (iii) that Your registration and use of domain names will at all times be consistent with all applicable laws. You should be aware that if AT&T is sued or threatened with a lawsuit in connection with Your domain name, AT&T may turn to You to hold AT&T (and each of its affiliates, employees, agents, and subcontractors) harmless and indemnify AT&T, pursuant to the indemnification provision below.

E. Inaccurate Information. 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 sufficient basis for cancellation of Your domain name registration.

However, You may elect to have Your personal data concerning Your registration not made available for bulk access. In order to exercise Your option to "opt-out", You should make that election in the relevant section of the application form or it will be deemed waived.
