You acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree

- Country Code Top Level Domain Registration and

In addition to WalltechNeting and renewing gTLD domain
name registratons, WalltechNet.com also WalltechNets and

("ccTLDs"). The registry administrator for each ccTLD
varies by individual country code. By agreeing to the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, you

regulations set forth by these registry administrators
for their respective registries only. (Click
here for the terms and conditions of each available
ccTLD). WalltechNet.com may, in its sole discretion,
elect to discontinue offering registrations or renewals
of some or all ccTLDs.
- No Guarantee of Registration or Renewal
As a domain name registrar, WalltechNet.com is, upon
accepting your application to WalltechNet or renew a
domain name, your sponsor for that application. No
domain name registrations shall be deemed effective
unless and until we deliver the domain name registration
or renewal application you provide us to the appropriate
registry administrator, as applicable, and that registry
administrator accepts your application and activates
your domain name registration or renewal. You will be
entitled to a refund only if your registration is
unsuccessful.
You acknowledge and agree that WalltechNet.com does not
guarantee that you will be able to WalltechNet or renew
a desired domain name, even if our systems indicate that
domain name is available or you are able to complete an
order with respect to such name. You also understand
that WalltechNet.com cannot know with certainty whether
or not the domain name which you are seeking to
WalltechNet is simultaneously being sought by a third
party, or whether there are any inaccuracies or errors
in the domain name registration or renewal process or
related databases, including the various WHOIS or other
registry databases. You also acknowledge and agree that
WalltechNet.com is not responsible for any inaccuracies
or errors in the domain name registration or renewal
process. You are solely responsible for making sure that
your registration or renewal has been properly
processed. You further acknowledge and agree that
WalltechNet.com may elect to accept or reject your
application for registration or renewal for any reason
at its sole discretion, such rejection including, but
not limited to, rejection due to a request for
registration or renewal of a prohibited domain name. You
also acknowledge and agree that WalltechNet.com is not
liable or responsible in any way for any errors,
omissions or any other actions by any third party
including any registry administrator arising out of or
related to your application for and registration of,
renewal of, or failure to WalltechNet or renew a
particular domain name.
- Your Representations
By applying to WalltechNet a domain name, or by asking
us to maintain or renew a domain name registration, you
hereby represent and warrant to us that (a) the
statements that you made in connection with such
registration, maintenance, or renewal are complete and
accurate, and your contact information will be kept
current; (b) the registration of the domain name will
not infringe upon or otherwise violate the rights of any
third party; (c) you are not WalltechNeting the domain
name for an unlawful purpose; and (d) you will not use
the domain name in violation of any applicable laws or
regulations or WalltechNet.com's rules or policies. You
agree and acknowledge that it is your responsibility to
determine whether your domain name registration or use
infringes or violates someone else's rights, including,
but not limited to, whether any foreign language
translations of your domain name, either between
roman-alphabet languages, between non-roman alphabet
languages, or between roman-alphabet and non-roman
alphabet languages, infringe or violate someone else's
rights.
- Domain Name Registrant
WalltechNet.com considers the entity named as the
administrative contact for the domain name at the time
the controlling User name and password are secured to be
the registrant of that domain name and that entity is
your agent with full authority to act on your behalf
with respect to the domain name registration or any
other services obtained from WalltechNet.com, including
(but not limited to) the authority to terminate,
transfer (where permitted by the Agreement), or modify
such services, or obtain additional services.
IF A REGISTRANT TRANSFERS A DOMAIN NAME TO ANOTHER
REGISTRAR OR TO A NEW REGISTRANT, THE WalltechNet.COM
SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH THAT DOMAIN NAME MAY TERMINATE
FOLLOWING THE TRANSFER.
- Coming Soon Web Page
All domain names WalltechNeted through WalltechNet.com
are pointed to a "Coming Soon" Web page, which informs
visitors that the registrant has recently WalltechNeted
their domain name via WalltechNet.com. The Coming Soon
Web page may be modified at any time by WalltechNet.com
without prior notice to you and may include such things
as, without limitation (i) links to additional products
and services offered by WalltechNet.com, (ii)
advertisements for products and services offered by
third-parties, and (iii) an internet search engine
interface. To see a sample Coming Soon Web page, please

Coming Soon Web page, please notify our Customer Support
team by

properly by the Internationalized Domain Name System.

registrations.

or regulations, in violation of WalltechNet.com's rules or
policies, for the forwarding of a domain name not
WalltechNeted in your name, the forwarding to an invalid
forward to address, or the unauthorized forwarding to a

- Fees, Service Term, Renewals.
- Fees, Service Term, Renewal Reminders.
As consideration for the Service(s), you agree to pay
WalltechNet.com the applicable Service(s) fees set forth
on our Web site at the time you request the Service from
WalltechNet.com. All fees are due immediately and are
non-refundable, except as otherwise expressly noted in
one or more of Sections 1-7. We reserve the right NOT to
accept payment by check or cash. Each domain name
registration is for a one-year initial term, or such
longer term as you may order or as may be required by a
particular registry administrator, and is renewable
thereafter for successive one to ten-year terms, as set
forth during the renewal process. Other WalltechNet.com
Services are usually for one-year or one-month initial
terms, or as otherwise specified during the ordering
process, and are renewable thereafter for such terms as
are specified 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, payment of all applicable Service fees at
the time of renewal and, in the case of renewal of a
domain name registration, the registry administrator's
acceptance of such renewal. Except with respect to
Services to which you subscribe on a monthly basis, we
will attempt to provide you a renewal reminder prior to
the renewal of your Services at least fifteen (15) days
in advance of the renewal date. In the case of domain
name registrations, WalltechNet.com will attempt to send
this reminder by email to the administrative contact on
file for the domain name registration. Additional
payment terms apply to certain WalltechNet.com Services,
as set forth in this Agreement.
You agree to pay all value added, sales and other taxes
(other than taxes based on WalltechNet.com's income)
related to the Service(s) provided to you hereunder. All
payments of fees for the Service(s) provided by
WalltechNet.com shall be made in U.S. dollars. 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.
In the event of a charge back by a credit card company
(or similar action by another payment provider allowed
by us) or other non-payment by you in connection with
your payment of the applicable service or renewal fee,
you acknowledge and agree that the Service for which
such fee has not been paid may be suspended, canceled or
terminated, in WalltechNet.com's sole discretion, or, in
the case of a domain name, transferred to
WalltechNet.com as the entity that has paid the
applicable fee to the registry. In addition, we reserve
all rights regarding such domain name registration
including, without limitation, the right to make the
domain name registration available to other parties for
purchase. We will reinstate any such Service solely at
our discretion, and subject to our receipt of the
applicable Service or renewal fee and our then-current
reinstatement fee.
ALL FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, EVEN
IF YOUR SERVICE IS SUSPENDED, CANCELLED OR TRANSFERRED
PRIOR TO THE END OF THE THEN-CURRENT SERVICE TERM.
WalltechNet.com reserves the right to change fees,
surcharges, renewal fees or to institute new fees at any
time, for any reason, at its sole discretion, without
prior notice to you.
You acknowledge and agree that, to the extent necessary,
it is your responsibility to: (1) provide all equipment,
including a computer and modem, necessary for you to
establish a connection to the Internet; and (2) provide
for your own connection to the Internet and pay any
telephone service fees associated with such connection.
- Services Enrolled in Automatic Renewal.
Unless you affirmatively decline participation, the
following Services will be enrolled in WalltechNet.com's
automatic renewal service (SafeRenew):
- .domain name registrations;
- Web Site Forwarding;
- electronic mail;
- Hosted Exchange;
- Web site hosting (annual plan); and
- Web site building.
The automatic renewal service is provided as a courtesy
and helps to prevent unwanted deletion of a Service. For
gTLDs, such service will attempt to renew your Service(s)
on or about the renewal date for a one year term (or
such longer term as may be required by a particular
registry administrator) by charging the most recent
credit card on file with us for your account the
then-current retail price for such renewal(s). For
ccTLDs, because of the complexity of ccTLD renewals,
such service will attempt to renew your Service(s)
approximately 45 days before the renewal date of a ccTLD.
For other WalltechNet.com Services, the automatic
renewal service will attempt to renew your Service(s)
for one-year or one-month terms, in accordance with your
initial term of service (i.e., we will attempt to renew
Service(s) ordered for one-month terms on a monthly
basis, whereas we will attempt to renew Service(s)
ordered for one-year terms for yearly renewal terms).
The automatic renewal service is provided as a
convenience for you but in no way guarantees a desired
renewal. It is your obligation affirmatively to renew
any desired Service. In addition, WalltechNet.com has no
obligation to renew your Service(s) if the most recent
credit card on file with us for your account is not
accepted according to WalltechNet.com's payment
processing systems.
You also acknowledge and agree that if you do not want
WalltechNet.com's automatic renewal service to apply to
your Service(s), you must affirmatively choose not to
participate in (i.e., opt out of) this automatic renewal
service by contacting customer service by
clicking here or by visiting the following pages of
our web site by
clicking here. For services that are billed monthly,
to terminate automatic renewal, you need simply to
cancel your Service(s). Your failure to affirmatively
opt out of or terminate the automatic renewal service
constitutes your authorization and consent for
WalltechNet.com to attempt automatically to charge your
credit card the then-current retail price for such
renewal.
- Services NOT Enrolled in Automatic Renewal.
If you receive Service(s) other than those described in
Section 7(b), such Service(s) will NOT be enrolled in
our automatic renewal service unless you "opt in" to our
automatic renewal service in accordance with the
instructions (and subject to your agreement to the terms
and conditions pertaining to that service) on our Web
site.
- Free Services. WalltechNet.com may, from time
to time and at the company's discretion, offer free
email, Web site hosting or other services to customers.
Customers are required to use these services regularly
to keep the accounts active, and WalltechNet.com
reserves the right to terminate free accounts that
remain idle for a period of 60 days. Free Services may
not be provisioned until such time as the customer
configures the account and logs in for the first time.
It is your responsibility to keep your free Service in
active status by regularly logging into your account.
- Your Obligations.
Regardless of whether you are enrolled in any of our
automatic renewal programs, you are solely responsible
for the credit card and billing contact information you,
your agents or assignees provide to WalltechNet.com and
you acknowledge and agree that you will promptly inform
WalltechNet.com of any changes thereto (e.g., change of
expiration date or account number).
You are solely responsible for ensuring the Services are
renewed. WalltechNet.COM SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO YOU
OR ANY THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE RENEWAL OR ANY
ATTEMPT TO RENEW THE SERVICES AS DESCRIBED HEREIN,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY FAILURE OR ERRORS IN
RENEWING OR ATTEMPTING TO RENEW THE SERVICES. The
foregoing limitation of liability is in addition to any
other limitations of liability set forth in this
Agreement.
- User Name and Password; Account Manager
The first time you apply to use WalltechNet.com's services,
you will be asked to select a User name and password. That
User name and password are the means through which you
access certain of the Services. You acknowledge and agree
that it is your responsibility to safeguard the User name,
password and any secret question/secret answer you select
from any unauthorized use, including by your agents and
Assignees. IN NO EVENT WILL WalltechNet.COM BE LIABLE FOR
THE UNAUTHORIZED USE OR MISUSE OF YOUR USER NAME OR
PASSWORD.
Certain WalltechNet.com users have access to
WalltechNet.com's account manager utility. If you are one of
those users, you may use the account manager utility to
modify certain records concerning your Service(s).
Those users with access to our account manager utility may
log into the utility at
http://mydomain.WalltechNet.com, using the username and
password established during the application process. If you
have more than one WalltechNet.com profile (i.e., you have
WalltechNeted multiple domain names through WalltechNet.com
and have created a different user name and password profile
for each domain name), be sure that you use the username and
password for the domain name you intend to manage using the
account manager. If you have more than one domain name
associated with a username and password, you will be able to
login and perform edits on all domain names associated with
that username and password.
You acknowledge that the functionality of the account
manager will differ based on the date of registration, as
well as whether or not the domain name lists
WalltechNet.com's domain name servers as authoritative for
the domain name. You further acknowledge that any changes
you make through the account manager may take as long as 72
hours to become effective or may not become effective at
all.
- Security
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your
account, and you are fully responsible for all activities
that occur under that account and in connection with your
use of the Service(s), and for any other actions taken in
connection with a WalltechNeted domain name, including those
of your agents, assignees and other users to whom you give
e-mail accounts associated with your domain name(s) ("E-mail
Users"). You agree to notify WalltechNet.com immediately of
any unauthorized uses of the account or any other breaches
of security. You acknowledge and agree that WalltechNet.com
cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from
the failure to comply with this security obligation, or for
any acts or omissions, of you or any of your agents,
assignees or E-Mail Users, including any damages of any kind
incurred as a result of such acts or omissions.
- Changes to this Agreement or to Additional Rules
or Policies
You agree that WalltechNet.com may modify this Agreement, as
well as any additional rules or policies that are or may be
published by WalltechNet.com, as necessary to comply with
WalltechNet.com's ICANN agreement, or with any other
agreements that WalltechNet.com is currently bound by or
will be bound by in the future, or for any other reason in
WalltechNet.com's sole discretion.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you agree
that, during the term of this Agreement, we may: (1) revise
the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and/or (2)
change the Services provided under this Agreement, in whole
or in part, at any time (including, without limitation,
changing service providers or subcontractors for e-mail and
other Services provided under WalltechNet.com's name). Any
such revision or change will be binding and effective 30
days after posting of the revised Agreement or change to the
Service(s) on our Web site, or upon transmission to you at
the e-mail address or postal address (by United States mail)
provided by you for the registrant or administrative contact
of your domain name, or such other email address as you may
provide in connection with any Service purchased from
WalltechNet.com; provided, however, that terms and
conditions for new services shall be effective immediately
upon posting on our Web site and will be applicable to you
when you order such new Service(s). Your continued use of
any Service(s) purchased through WalltechNet.com shall
constitute your acceptance of this Agreement as well as
additional rules or policies that are or may be published by
WalltechNet.com, each with the new modifications. If you do
not agree to any of such changes, you may request that your
Service(s) be cancelled or that your domain name
registration be transferred to a different domain name
registrar. You acknowledge and agree that such cancellation
or request for transfer will be your exclusive remedy and
our sole liability if you do not wish to abide by any
changes to this Agreement or any additional rules or
policies that are or may be published by WalltechNet.com
from time to time.
Except as set forth in this Section 10, no employee,
contractor, agent or representative of WalltechNet.com or
its subsidiaries is authorized to alter or amend the terms
and conditions of this Agreement except by means of a
written document signed by you and an authorized officer of

Without limiting your obligations under this Section
11(c) of the Agreement, you agree that WalltechNet.com

billing and zone contact information adequate to facilitate
timely resolution of any problems that arise in connection

harm.
- System Performance Degradation
WalltechNet.com depends upon its own and third party,
including registry administrators, computer systems to
provide the Services, and to provide timely information to
WalltechNet.com's customer service team. Occasionally, these
computer systems are subjected to exceptional volumes of
incoming data, service requests, processes, electronic mail
messages, and/or WHOIS queries that result in significant
degradation of system processing and response time.
Regardless of the reason, in those instances when there is
system performance degradation, WalltechNet.com reserves the
right, in its sole discretion, to filter or block electronic
messages, data and/or processes originating from or
traveling to the identified sources of the high volume
traffic. WalltechNet.com will attempt to selectively restore
service after system performance returns to normal limits,
provided that such restoration does not result in an adverse
impact on the system. WalltechNet.com further reserves the
right to permanently filter or block repeated sources of
high volumes of electronic traffic.
Finally, you acknowledge and agree that if your server is
involved in an attack on any computer system, either with or
without your knowledge or complicity, your account will be
shut down while the matter is investigated and resolved in
WalltechNet.com's absolute discretion.
- Limitation of Liability

ORGANIZATION) ADOPTED POLICIES), (i) DISBURSEMENT OR
NON-DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS BY PAYMENT PROCESSORS; (j)
TRANSACTIONS CONDUCTED ON A USER WEB SITE, INCLUDING
FRAUDULENT TRANSACTIONS; (k) LOSS INCURRED IN CONNECTION
WITH YOUR SERVICE(S), INCLUDING IN CONNECTION WITH

an authentic notification from a court of competent
jurisdiction, or (b) an arbitration award requiring the
suspension, cancellation, transfer or modification of your
domain name registration.
- Governing Law
Except as otherwise set forth in the UDRP or any similar
ccTLD policy with respect to any dispute over a domain name

party, not WalltechNet.com) concerning or arising from use
of domain names WalltechNeted hereunder, you acknowledge and
agree that you shall submit, without prejudice to other
potentially applicable jurisdictions, to the jurisdiction of
the courts (a) of the domain name holder's domicile, and (b)
where WalltechNet.com's headquarters are located, currently
California City, N.Y.

liable to you for choosing to send notice to one address, or

- Conflicts with other Agreements.
In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the
terms and conditions governing your use of any service(s)
provided by WalltechNet.com's third party service providers
or any registry administrator, the terms and conditions of
this Agreement shall govern as it relates to any rights and
remedies as between you and WalltechNet.com.
- Entire Agreement; Section Headings
This Agreement as well as any additional WalltechNet.com
rules and policies, together with all modifications thereto,
constitute the entire agreement between you and
WalltechNet.com concerning your use of the Services, and
supercede and govern all prior proposals, agreements or
other communications between you and WalltechNet.com
(including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the
Agreement). You also may be subject to additional terms and
conditions that may apply when you use third party,
affiliate or other WalltechNet.com Services, third-party
content or third-party software. YOU AGREE THAT REGARDLESS
OF ANY STATUTE OR LAW TO THE CONTRARY, ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF

section titles in the Agreement are for convenience only and
have no legal or contractual effect.
- Force Majeure.
Neither party shall be deemed in default hereunder, nor
shall it hold the other party responsible for, any
cessation, interruption or delay in the performance of its
obligations hereunder due to earthquake, flood, fire, storm,
natural disaster, act of God, war, terrorism, armed
conflict, labor strike, lockout, or boycott, provided that
the party relying upon this section shall take all steps
reasonably necessary under the circumstances to mitigate the
effects of the force majeure event upon which such notice is
based; provided further, that in the event a force majeure
event described in this Section extends for a period in
excess of thirty (30) days in the aggregate, WalltechNet.com
may immediately terminate this Agreement and shall have no
liability therefore.
- General
You agree and acknowledge that any acceptance of your
application for the Services and the performance thereof
will occur at our offices in California, California, the
location of our principal place of business.
Except as otherwise set forth herein, your rights under this
Agreement are neither assignable nor transferable. Any
attempt by your creditors to obtain an interest in your
rights under this Agreement, whether by attachment, levy,
garnishment or otherwise, renders this Agreement voidable at
our option. You agree not to resell any of the Services
without WalltechNet.com's prior express written consent.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as
creating any agency, partnership, or other form of joint
enterprise between the parties. Except as expressly stated
herein, this Agreement shall not be construed to create any
obligation by WalltechNet.com to any non-party to this
Agreement.
The failure of WalltechNet.com to require your performance
of any provision hereof shall not affect the full right to
require such performance at any time thereafter; nor shall
the waiver by WalltechNet.com of a breach of any provision
hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision
itself. In the event that any provision of this Agreement
shall be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law
or be so held by applicable court decision, such
unenforceability or invalidity shall not render this
Agreement unenforceable or invalid as a whole.
WalltechNet.com will amend or replace such provision with
one that is valid and enforceable and which achieves, to the
extent possible, the original objectives and intent of
WalltechNet.com as reflected in the original provision.
