this Agreement is solely limited to the amount you paid for such Service(s).
We and our contractors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect,
incidental, special or consequential damages resulting from the use
or inability to use any of the Services or for the cost of procurement
of substitute services. 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. We disclaim any and all loss or liability resulting from, but
not limited to: (1) loss or liability resulting from access delays

non-delivery or data mis-delivery; (3) loss or liability resulting

shall our maximum liability exceed five hundred ($500.00) dollars.

Service with your computer, of any intellectual property or other
proprietary right of any person or entity, or from the violation of
any of our operating rules or policy relating to the service(s) provided.

to the terms and conditions contained in the Dispute Policy. When
we are threatened with suit by a third party, we may seek written
assurances from you concerning your promise to indemnify us; your
failure to provide those assurances may be considered by us to be
a breach of your Agreement and may result in deactivation of your
domain name.

person named as registrant on the WHOIS shall be the registered name
holder. The person named as administrative contact at the time the
controlling user name and password are secured shall be deemed the
designate of the registrant with the authority to manage the domain
name. You agree that prior to transferring ownership of your domain
name to another person (the Transferee") you shall require the
Transferee to agree, in writing to be bound by all the terms and conditions
of this Agreement. Your domain name will not be transferred until
we receive such written assurances or other reasonable assurance that
the Transferee has been bound by the contractual terms of this Agreement
(such reasonable assurance as determined by us in our sole discretion)

be bound in a reasonable fashion (as determine by us in our sole discretion)
to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, any such transfer will
be null and void.
15. BREACH. You agree that failure
to abide by any provision of this Agreement, any operating rule or
policy or the Dispute Policy provided by us, may be considered by
us to be a material breach and that we may provide a written notice,
describing the breach, to you. If within thirty (30) calendar days
of the date of such notice, you fail to provide evidence, which is
reasonably satisfactory to us, that you have not breached your obligations
under the Agreement, then we may delete the registration or reservation
of your domain name. Any such breach by you shall not be deemed to
be excused simply because we did not act earlier in response to that,
or any other breach by you.
16. NO GUARANTY. You agree that,
by registration or reservation of your chosen domain name, such registration
or reservation does not confer immunity from objection to either the
registration, reservation, or use of the domain name.

inquiries by us addressed to the email address of the registrant,

constitute a material breach of this Agreement and be a basis for
cancellation of the domain name registration. Any information collected
