Registration
Agreement
- This Registration Agreement
("Agreement") sets forth the terms and conditions of your
use of New.net™, Inc. ("New.net") to register the domain
name selected by you (the "Domain Name"). To complete the
registration process, you must read and agree to be bound by all
terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Terms of Use, the
Dispute Policy and the Privacy Policy. This Agreement will become
effective if accepted by New.net. New.net may accept or reject your
offer for any reason in New.net's sole discretion. Please carefully
read this Agreement, as well as the other New.net Policies. This
Agreement covers all New.net domain names you register with New.net.
- New.net
Policies.
You agree to be bound by and comply with the "New.net
Policies" (which are defined to include this Agreement, the
Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy and the Dispute Policy, all
including New.net's modifications and amendments there to which
New.net may make from time to time) with respect to the Domain
Names. All New.net Policies are incorporated into this Agreement
by this reference and are enforceable as if written out in full
in this Agreement.

- Fees.

- You will be responsible to pay
for all fees associated with domain name services provided
by New.net. The annual fee for registering a Domain Name
will be $35. Unless otherwise terminated earlier under this
Agreement, the New.net Policies or at law, the registration
of the Domain Name will be for a minimum of one year. The
registration may be renewed by you for additional one year
periods or multiple years may be purchased in advance, each
subject to early termination under this Agreement, the
New.net Policies or at law, provided that you pay renewal
fees by those due dates designated by New.net; it shall be
your responsibility to ensure that such fees are paid.
Payment must be made by credit card or such other method as
we may indicate in the registration renewal form. Should
these fees go unpaid by the time specified in the renewal
notice, your registration will be cancelled. You agree that
New.net shall have no liability whatsoever with respect to
any such cancellation. All fees are non-refundable, in whole
or in part, even if your domain name registration is
suspended, cancelled or transferred prior to the end of your
then current registration term. New.net reserves the right
to change fees, surcharges, renewal fees or to institute new
fees at any time, for any reason, at its sole discretion.
Your requested domain name will not be registered unless we
receive actual payment of the registration fee, or
reasonable assurance of payment of the registration fee from
some other entity (such reasonable assurance as determine d
by New.net in its sole discretion).

- In the event of a charge back
by a credit card company (or similar action by another
payment provider allowed by us) in connection with the
payments of the registration fee for your domain name
registration or any other fee associated with the domain
name services provided by us, you agree and acknowledge that
the domain name registration shall be transferred to New.net
as the paying entity for that registration to the registry
and that we reserve all rights regarding such domain name
including, without limitation, the right to make the domain
name available to other parties for purchase. We will
reinstate your domain name registration solely at our
discretion, and subject to our receipt of the initial
registration or renewal fee and our then-current
reinstatement fee.

- All Fees are
Nonrefundable.

part, even if the Domain Name is suspended, cancelled or

term by you, by New.net or otherwise.

- Dispute
Policy.
You agree to be bound by the current Dispute Policy which is
incorporated into this Agreement by reference. Any disputes
regarding the right to use your domain name will be subject to

any transfer of the Domain Name, the transferee shall agree in
writing to become a party to and be bound by this Agreement. You
acknowledge and agree that if you attempt to transfer your
domain name registration and the entity to which you seek to
transfer your domain name fails to agree in writing to be bound
by all terms and conditions of this Agreement, any such transfer
will be null and void, and New.net shall have the right to

- Additional
Registrant Representations and Warranties for ".kids"
Extensions.
Applications to register Kids domain names are subject to
additional terms and conditions. First, all Domain Names that
are indicated as available may be reserved on a first-come,
first-served basis but may not be propagated or released to you
until they are reviewed by the official registry, a process that
may take up to 30 days. New.net currently has a relationship
with .KIDS Domains, Inc., under which .KIDS Domains, Inc., and
not New.net, is the official registry for Kids domain names. The
registry may refuse to release any name it believes in its sole
discretion is inappropriate. You further understand that if the
Domain Name includes a "Kids" extension, the Web site
associated with such Domain Name will always be subject to
compliance with the registry's content guidelines (as they may
be changed from time to time, the "Guidelines") and
the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"),
that you agree that you will comply with the Guidelines and with
COPPA, that the Web site associated with the Domain Name may or
may not be required to be subject to (and comply with) a
compliance audit by or on behalf of the registry, and may be
required to be rated by or with a content-ratings association
(which may include, without limitation, the Internet Content
Rating Association). You also understand that domain names
ending in ".kids" are intended to be
"kid-friendly" and to take visitors to
"kid-friendly", COPPA-compliant and
Guidelines-compliant content, as determined by the registry. The
registry and New.net each have the right to terminate this
Agreement and/or cancel, suspend, transfer or modify your
registration of the Domain Name immediately without prior notice
if the registry or New.net, either individually, collectively or
through a third party regulation mechanism, determines in its
sole discretion that (i) the ".kids" Domain Name is
lewd, offensive, obscene or indecent or is not otherwise
"kid-friendly" or (ii) the Web site associated with
the "Kids" Domain Name does not provide
"kid-friendly", COPPA-compliant, and
Guideline-compliant, content. In the event that the registration
of the "Kids" Domain Name is suspended, canceled,
transferred or modified, or this Agreement is terminated
pursuant to this Section 10, you agree that you shall not be
entitled to a refund of any fees or other amounts paid by you to
the registry, New.net or any other business or person.

New.net and you agree that each domain name purchase shall
constitute a separate transaction between us governed by an
identical copy of this Agreement. In the event this Agreement is
deemed breached by either party, is terminated by either party,
or is found to be unenforceable in whole or in part by any
authority with jurisdiction, with respect to a particular
transaction, such event shall not affect any other transaction
or agreement between us.

amendments or modifications to all of them, constitute the
complete and exclusive agreement between you and New.net, and
supersedes all prior proposals, agreements or other

and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of

courts. You hereby waive any right to object to venue or
jurisdiction based on inconvenient forum or for any other reason
and waive all rights, if any, to a trial by jury. If any
provision of this Agreement is held invalid, unenforceable, or
void, the remainder of the Agreement shall not be affected
thereby and shall continue in full force and effect as nearly
possible to reflect the original intention of New.net and
Registrant in executing this Agreement. The failure of either
party at any time to enforce any right or remedy available to it
under this Agreement with respect to any breach or failure by
the other party shall not be a waiver of such right or remedy
with respect to any other breach or failure by the other party.
A printed version of this Agreement and of any notice given in
electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or
administrative proceedings based upon or relating to the
Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions
as other business documents and records originally generated and
maintained in printed form.
