1. 1.  

   Rights to Domain Name | Domain Ownership Disputes 

• • ◦We will under no circumstances whatsoever be obliged to determine the right of the applicant to any domain name. Domain names are delegated on a “first-come-first served” basis and in no way constitutes any support or warranty of the applicant’s right to utilise such name.

All further communication will exclude us and we will have no further obligations to the registrant or complainant. 

  • ◦The applicant/registrant accepts the jurisdiction of any dispute resolution process in respect of the namespace by the relevant registry, ICANN or by the law, in disputes relating to domain names, incl. the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy and the Uniform Rapid Suspension, and agrees to be bound by any decision that may result.

   The Applicant/Registrant’s Duties

    • ▪full name, postal address, email address, tel. number and registered company name (where applicable) of the technical contact for the domain 

    • ▪full name, postal address, email address, tel. number and registered company name (where applicable) of the administrative contact
