This Acceptable Use Policy sets out the policies of the Registry and Domain Provider(s) and the Registrar relating to the computer systems, hardware, servers, bandwidth, telecommunications transport and e-mail routing provided by the Registry and Domain Provider(s) (the “Registry Network”). The Registrar created this Acceptable Use Policy to promote the integrity, security, reliability and privacy of the Registry Network and the Registrar.
This Acceptable Use Policy is to be read together with the Domain Name Registration Agreement of the Registrar (“Registration Agreement”) and words and phrases used in this Acceptable Use Policy shall have the same meaning attributed to them in the Registration Agreement unless otherwise specified or the context clearly otherwise requires.
Please note that the Registrar may modify this Acceptable Use Policy from time to time in order to comply with applicable laws and terms and conditions set forth by the respective Registry and Domain Provider(s) and/or ICANN. Any revisions or modifications to this Acceptable Use Policy shall be effective thirty (30) days after the initial date of posting such revisions or modifications on the Registrar’s website and such amendments shall be binding upon the Registrant.
No party may use, transmit data through, or invite any third party to transmit data through the Registry Network except in strict accordance with this Acceptable Use Policy. This Acceptable Use Policy is not meant to be a mechanism to resolve disputes between domain name registrants and third parties but sets forth only the permissible use of the Registry Network.
The Registrant acknowledges and agrees that it shall also be bound by the applicable policies set forth by the respective Registry and Domain Providers.
