This Agreement is by and between LiquidNet US LLC, a Florida corporation (C/O whois-shield.com, Fort
Lauderdale, FL, 33309), and You, Your heirs, executors, administrators, agents, successors and
assigns ("You," "Your," and other appropriate formatives). This Agreement will define the exact
terms and conditions of Your relationship with LiquidNet US LLC and Your use of the IDP Services.
You confirm that You have read and understand and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions
specified in this Agreement for transactions entered into by:
You on Your behalf;
anyone acting as Your agent or representative;
anyone who uses the account from which You want to obtain the IDP Services, whether or not the
transactions are on Your behalf and/or authorized by You.
You agree that You will be bound by representations made by third parties You use to obtain the IDP
Services. You also agree to follow the terms and conditions, established by the Internet Corporation
for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN"), including the Uniform Domain Name Dispute
Resolution
Policy and any policy which ICANN may enforce, regarding WHOIS information.
THE IDP SERVICES
If you subscribe to the IDP Services, your name, postal and email address, phone and fax numbers
shall be kept confidential and hidden, falling subject to Section 5 of this Agreement. The
following information (instead of your personal details) will be thereafter publicly available
in the "Whois" section for each IDP Domain:
LiquidNet US LLC's email and postal address, phone and facsimile number for the
registrant, administrative, technical and billing contacts ("IDP Addresses");
The primary and secondary domain name servers You have designated for the IDP Domain;
The IDP Domain's original registration and expiration date;
The identity of Your registrar and the status of the IDP Domain with the registrar (such
as: "Active", "Registrar Lock", "ClientTransferProhibited", etc.).
While You will not be listed as the registrant of the IDP Domain, LiquidNet US LLC will not
control the IDP Domain(s). You will retain your right to sell or transfer each IDP Domain; You
will retain your right to control and set the DNS settings for the IDP Domain(s); You will
retain your right to renew each IDP Domain name registration upon expiration and You will still
be responsible for any and all monetary or other legal claims, connected with Your IDP
Domain(s), subject to the remaining sections of this Agreement.
You agree that You will not give to any third party the IDP Addresses for
the intention of having the third party send communications to you via the LiquidNet US LLC IDP
Service. Third parties can obtain the IDP Addresses listed in the Whois Information of their own
accord, but You agree that You will not provide the IDP Addresses to such third parties.
PROVISION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
You agree that for each IDP Domain, You will provide LiquidNet US LLC with the current details
and that you will maintain them current and accurate:
Your name, address, email and postal address, phone and fax numbers;
The name, address, email and postal address, phone and fax numbers for the IDP Domain's
administrative, technical, and billing contacts;
The primary and secondary domain name servers for the IDP Domain;
You agree to:
update this information as soon as it changes;
reply in up to five (5) business days to any inquiries made by LiquidNet US LLC to
determine the validity of the information You have provided;
promptly reply to messages regarding correspondence sent to or involving Your IDP
Domain(s), as defined in section 6 below.
Cloud Host Shop may modify its information from time to time in such a way, which may constitute
a "Change of Registrant" under ICANN’s Transfer Policy (the "Transfer Policy"). In such a case,
You explicitly opt out of any 60-day inter-registrar transfer lock that would otherwise be
imposed under the Transfer Policy due to any such Change of Registrant.
In addition, You explicitly authorize the registrar of the IDP Domain to act as its "Designated
Agent" (as defined in the Transfer Policy) to approve each "Change of Registrant" (as defined in
the Transfer Policy) on its behalf.
FEES AND RENEWALS
If, on the due date LiquidNet US LLC has not received renewal or other fees, you agree that
LiquidNet US LLC can try to contact You, but is not obliged to do so, and You agree that
LiquidNet US LLC can suspend or terminate the IDP Services as a result of non-payment.
LiquidNet US LLC can charge reasonable fees for administrative tasks for services, not falling
into the already defined ones. These include, but are not limited to, customer service issues
that require personal service and disputes that require legal services. You are responsible for
covering all fees and taxes associated with using LiquidNet US LLC's services. Payments shall be
made by credit card or PayPal. You agree that charges will appear on Your credit card statement
under "PayPal Hosting" or "PayPal Hosting and Domains", depending on whether the credit card
statement is restricted to 11 or 19 symbols. All fees are non-refundable.
If there is a charge back for a fee, which has been already covered, You agree that LiquidNet US
LLC can, without notice, pursue all available remedies in order to obtain payment for that fee.
Without limitation on other remedies which may be available under such circumstances, You agree
that LiquidNet US LLC may assume complete ownership of the IDP Domain(s), that the IDP Domain(s)
can be sold to third parties, or that the IDP Domain(s) can be pointed to an IP address of
LiquidNet US LLC's own choice, and that LiquidNet US LLC can immediately cancel Your Account and
all other services provided to You.
IMPORTANT TERMS REGARDING THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE TERM OF THE IDP SERVICES AND THE REGISTRATION
TERM OF THE ASSOCIATED IDP DOMAIN: Your IDP Services term begins on the date when Your purchase
of IDP Services is accepted by the LiquidNet US LLC and it will run for the time period you have
chosen (by default, one year). The IDP Services term can be different from the registration term
of the IDP Domain. If the domain, for which the IDP Service is activated, expires and is deleted
before the end of the term of the IDP Service, then the IDP Service associated with this domain
will end when the IDP Domain is deleted and there will be no refund for the unused portion of
the IDP Services. If the IDP Services term ends while the registration term for the IDP Domain
is still ongoing, then the IDP Services will no longer be available until they are renewed and
the personal information specified in section 2 will be listed as the WHOIS information for the
(then former) IDP Domain. All communication forwarding services (specified in section 6) will no
longer be provided.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES AND WARRANTIES
It's Your responsibility to keep all information provided by You in relation to this Agreement
truthful, complete, current and accurate and to maintain all information in this status for the
term of this Agreement. You agree that You will be using the IDP service in good faith and that
You have no information, knowledge or reason to consider that Your IDP Domain or the content
found at all the IP Addresses associated with it violate or conflict with legal rights of a
third party or a third party's trademark or trade name. You warrant that neither the IDP Service
nor the domain associated with the IDP Service are to be used in connection with any of the
activities defined in section 5 of this Agreement, or used for the transmission of unsolicited
Spam emails.
SERVICE DISCONTINUANCE
In the event of any of the following:
If the IDP Domain(s) is (are) alleged to violate any third party's legal rights,
trademark, copyright interests or trade name;
If You violate any section of this Agreement;
If You breach any section of the Domain Registration Agreement;
If necessary to comply with any applicable laws, government rules or requirements,
subpoenas, court orders or law enforcement requests;
If LiquidNet US LLC is named as a defendant in, or investigated in anticipation of, any
legal or administrative proceeding arising out of Your use of the IDP Services or an IDP
Domain;
If necessary to comply with ICANN's Dispute Resolution Policy or other policies enforced
by ICANN (including policies which may preclude using a service such as Whois Privacy
Protection);
if necessary to avoid any financial loss or legal liability (civil or criminal) on the
part of LiquidNet US LLC, its parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, shareholders,
agents, officers, directors and employees;
OR if it comes to LiquidNet US LLC's attention that You are alleged to be using the IDP
Services for the purpose of engaging in, participating in, sponsoring or hiding Your
involvement in illegal or morally objectionable activities, including but not limited
to, activities which are designed, intended to or otherwise:
appeal primarily to prurient interests;
defame, embarrass, harm, abuse, threaten, or harass;
violate state or federal laws of the United States and/or foreign territories;
involve hate crimes, terrorism or child pornography;
are tortuous, vulgar, obscene, invasive of a third party's privacy, race,
ethnicity, or are otherwise objectionable;
impersonate the identity of a third party;
harm minors in any way;
relate to or transmit viruses, Trojan Horses, access codes, backdoors, worms,
timebombs or any other code, routine, mechanism, device or item that corrupts,
damages, impairs, interferes with, intercepts or misappropriates any software,
hardware, firmware, network, system, data or personally identifiable
information,
THEN
You understand and agree that LiquidNet US LLC has the absolute right and power, in its sole
discretion and without any liability to You whatsoever, to suspend the IDP Services, close Your
Account, terminate the provision of the IDP Services, list the information You provided in
section 2 as the Whois information or provide the information You provided in section 2 to a
claimant, resolve any and all third party claims, whether threatened or made, arising out of
Your use of the IDP Domain(s), or take any other action which LiquidNet US LLC deems necessary.
In the event LiquidNet US LLC takes any of the actions set forth above or in the event You elect
to cancel the IDP Services for any reason, any fees paid by You for the IDP Services will NOT be
refunded.
You also agree and understand that LiquidNet US LLC can, in its sole discretion and with no
liability to You, cancel the IDP Service during the first thirty (30) days after Your purchase
of the IDP Services, and/or suspend all Your rights under this Agreement and display the
original WHOIS information until a resolution of the dispute or investigation of allegations
raised against You is reached.
FORWARDING COMMUNICATIONS
You agree and understand that LiquidNet US LLC has the right to review communications sent to
the IDP Addresses associated with Your IDP Domain. For communications received via certified or
traceable courier mail (such as UPS, FedEx, or DHL), or first class U.S. postal mail which does
not appear to be unsolicited commercial mail ("Spam"), LiquidNet US LLC will either i) forward
such communication to You or ii) attempt to send you a scanned copy of the communication in
order to consult with You about whether to forward the communication to You or not. You
specifically acknowledge that LiquidNet US LLC may choose not to contact You regarding (and not
forward to You) first class postal mail or email, fax, postal mail or telephone communications
which appear to be unsolicited communications which offer or advertise the sale of goods or
services or which solicit charitable contributions, or communications which appear to arise from
Your having used the IDP Services as a general mail forwarding service (see section 1, above).
You authorize LiquidNet US LLC to either discard and ignore all such communications or return
them to sender unopened. You agree to waive any and all claims arising from Your failure to
receive communications directed to Your domain name but not forwarded to You by LiquidNet US
LLC, including failures which arise from LiquidNet US LLC's mistake in judging whether a
communication appears to be an unsolicited communication.
The Whois directory generally requires an email address for every purchased domain name
registration. When You purchase IDP Services, LiquidNet US LLC creates an email address for that
domain, which will look like this - "dsa343wqef432@whois-shield.com". From there on, when a
message is sent to the email address listed as the IDP Address, LiquidNet US LLC will forward
the messages to the email address You listed in section 2. If the email address you have
provided us with becomes non-functioning or if email sent to the address bounces, LiquidNet US
LLC is not bound to try to contact You through other means.
Your Obligation to Reply to messages from LiquidNet US LLC:
If LiquidNet US LLC receives a communication (email or general mail) which may warrant
if forwarded to You, LiquidNet US LLC will send an email to the email address You
provided as Your personal email address when filling the domain's Whois information.
This email message will identify the sender of the message and the date received. You
will have seventy-two (72) hours to decide whether to have the message(s) forwarded to
you. If you do not respond within this time period, the communication(s) will not be
forwarded and discarded. The method of forwarding will be determined by LiquidNet US
LLC. Forwarding of the messages may not be immediate; there can be a delay and
communication(s) may be aggregated to be forwarded together, if there are a lot of them
received. LiquidNet US LLC can begin charging fees for forwarding communications or may
change the method of forwarding the correspondence without notice;
If You do not respond to the messages sent from LiquidNet US LLC regarding
communications received at the IDP Address, LiquidNet US LLC may immediately reveal the
information You provided as the original Whois data and/or cancel the IDP Services. This
means that Whois lookups will display Your name, postal address, email address and phone
number. This action will be taken because LiquidNet US LLC will not get involved in
legal or other matters between You and third parties.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
LiquidNet US LLC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL,
INCIDENTAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR
THE DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS,
LOSS OF USE, LOST DATA, LOSS OF PRIVACY, DAMAGES TO THIRD PARTIES. THIS LIMITED LIABILITY CLAUSE
SHALL APPLY EVEN IF LiquidNet US LLC HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY CLAIMS. IN NO
EVENT SHALL LiquidNet US LLC'S MAXIMUM LIABILITY EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE
SERVICE OR THE PRODUCT. LiquidNet US LLC'S LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW
IN STATES THAT DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES.
You also understand and agree that LiquidNet US LLC will disclaim any loss or liability
resulting from:
the inadvertent disclosure or theft of Your personal information;
access delays or interruptions to our web site or the web sites of affiliated parties;
data non-delivery or misdelivery between You and LiquidNet US LLC;
the failure for whatever reason to renew the IDP Services;
the unauthorized use of Your Account or any of LiquidNet US LLC's services;
deletion of, failure to store, failure to process or act upon email messages sent to or
forwarded to either You or the email address listed for Your IDP Domain;
processing of updated information regarding Your Account;
any act or omission caused by You or Your agents (whether authorized by You or not).
You also agree to release, defend, indemnify and hold harmless LiquidNet US LLC and its
parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, shareholders, agents, directors, officers
and employees from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages
or costs, including reasonable attorney's fees, coming from or related in any way to
this Agreement, the IDP Services, the web sites of the Service Providers, Your Account,
and/or Your use of Your IDP Domain.
TERM OF AGREEMENT
The term of this Agreement begins on the date Your purchase of the IDP Services is accepted by
LiquidNet US LLC. The term shall run for a time period for which You ordered the IDP Services,
unless terminated or suspended sooner according to the terms of this Agreement. Sections 6
(Forwarding Communications) and 7 (Limitation of Liability) shall survive any termination or
expiration of this Agreement.
