  1. General Terms

1.1 The terms of this Domain Name Registration Agreement (this “DNRA”) apply to your use of the Domain Name Registration Services. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this DNRA and the terms of your Service Agreement with Postalytics, Inc. (“Postalytics”), the terms and conditions of this DNRA will apply with respect to your use of the Domain Name Registration Services, but only to the extent of such conflict.

1.2 You agree that your use of Postalytics services is subject both to the terms and conditions of this DNRA, and the terms and conditions governing the use of such Postalytics services, including your Service Agreement with Postalytics.

1.3 You, as the holder of the Registered Name (“Registered Name Holder”), have certain rights and responsibilities which are described in the ICANN Registrants’ Benefits and Responsibilities policy.

1.4 Postalytics may modify this DNRA at any time by posting a revised version on our site or by otherwise notifying you as provided in the Service Agreement, and that your continued use of the Domain Name Registration Services following such modification will constitute acceptance of such modifications.

  1. Registrar and Registry Operator

2.1 Postalytics provides the Domain Name Registration Services through Amazon Web Services (AWS), who works exclusively with ICANN-accredited Registrars. Postalytics and AWS provides the Domain Name Registration Services through Gandi SAS or Amazon Registrar, Inc., as the sponsoring Registrar. Postalytics reserves the right to use other ICANN-accredited registrars as the Registrar. In the event that Postalytics begins using a different sponsoring Registrar, Postalytics will notify you by updating this Section 2.1 of the Agreement.

2.2 Postalytics, AWS and the Registrar are required to comply with terms and conditions specified by (a) ICANN and (b) the Registry Operator for each specific gTLD or ccTLD. You acknowledge and agree that Postalytics and/or AWS may modify this DNRA in order to comply with the requirements of ICANN, the Registrar, or a Registry Operator, and that your continued use of the Domain Name Registration Services following such modification will constitute acceptance of such modifications. Should you refuse to accept any changes that are required either by ICANN or a Registry Operator, you agree that your domain name will be cancelled and no refund will be due to you.

2.3 You agree to comply with specific requirements related to the relevant gTLD or ccTLD, as required by or on behalf of ICANN or the Registry Operator. The specific requirements related to each gTLD or ccTLD are available from the Registrar (the Amazon Registrar policy page or the Gandi contract page.)

2.4 You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless AWS, the Registrar, and the Registry Operator, and each of their directors, officers, employees, and agents, from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) arising out of or related to your registration of the Registered Name.

  1. Registered Names

3.1 You understand and agree that, for each Registered Name registered by you, the following terms and conditions will apply to you so long as you remain the Registered Name Holder for the Registered Name:

3.1.1 You will be identified as the Registered Name Holder in publicly-accessible WHOIS records for so long as you remain the Registered Name Holder.

3.1.2 You will remain the Registered Name Holder identified in WHOIS, even if you license the use of the Registered Name to third parties or otherwise permit third parties to use the Registered Name.

3.1.3 For some gTLDs and ccTLDs, the Registry Operator considers the Registered Name Holder to have only an exclusive User License for use of the Registered Name; this does not change your obligations as the Registered Name Holder.

3.1.4 You understand and acknowledge that Postalytics/AWS or the Registrar is obligated to provide certain information to the Registry Operator for the relevant gTLD or ccTLD, including the name of the Registered Name being registered, the IP addresses of the primary and secondary name servers for the Registered Name, the corresponding names of those name servers, the identity of the Registrar, and the Expiration Date for the Registered Name (“Registration Data”).

3.2 You are required to provide to Postalytics accurate and reliable contact information through the Route 53 console, and to correct and update such information within seven days of any change during the term of the Registered Name registration, including, for each Registered Name, the following Registration Data:

3.2.1 The full legal name, postal address, e-mail address, voice telephone number, and (where available) the fax number of the Registered Name Holder;

3.2.2 The first and last name of the Registered Name Holder’s authorized administrative contact, technical contact, and billing contact, in the case that the Registered Name Holder is an individual;

3.2.3 The title of the Registered Name Holder’s authorized administrative contact, technical contact, and billing contact, in the case that the Registered Name Holder is an organization, association, or corporation;

3.2.4 The name (or title), postal address, email address, voice telephone number, and (where available) the fax number of the Registered Name’s administrative contact;

3.2.5 The name (or title), postal address, email address, voice telephone number, and (where available) the fax number of the Registered Name’s technical contact;

3.2.6 The name (or title), postal address, email address, voice telephone number, and (where available) the fax number of the Registered Name’s billing contact;

3.2.7 The names of the primary and secondary nameserver(s) for the Registered Name; and

3.2.8 The types of domain name services purchased for use in connection with the registration of the Registered Name.

3.3 You acknowledge that (a) the Registrar is required by ICANN to validate and verify certain Registration Data in connection with the initial registration of the Registered Name and periodically thereafter; (b) the Registrar may contact you in connection with such validation and verification requirements; and (c) your timely and accurate response to such validation inquiries is necessary to maintain your registration of the Registered Name. You agree that the willful provision of inaccurate or unreliable information, your willful failure to update information provided to Registrar via Postalytics/AWS within seven days of any change, or any failure by you to respond for more than 15 days to inquiries by Postalytics/AWS or Registrar concerning the accuracy of Registration Data associated with your Registered Name, shall constitute a material breach of the registration agreement between you and Postalytics and will be a basis for Postalytics or the Registrar to suspend and/or cancel your registration of the Registered Name.

3.4 Registered Names cannot be any domain name that is either a reserved name pursuant to ICANN policy or reserved by the Registry Operator for the gTLD or ccTLD.

3.5 You are not permitted to use a Proxy Registration Service in connection with the Domain Name Registration Services. If permitted by the Registrar, you may use Private Domain Registration, but only in accordance with the Registrar’s terms and conditions for private domain registration (the Amazon Registrar policy page or the Gandi WHOIS page).

3.6 With regard to any data requested from you by Postalytics in connection with your use of the Domain Name Registration Services (“DNRS Data”), you acknowledge and agree that:

3.6.1 Postalytics/AWS collects and processes DNRS Data, which includes both the Registration Data and our records indicating your acceptance of this DNRA, in connection with your request to register a Registered Name.

3.6.2 Postalytics/AWS will share DNRS Data with the Registrar, and both Postalytics/AWS and the Registrar are required by ICANN to make certain DNRS Data publicly accessible via WHOIS, including by providing bulk access to DNRS Data. DNRS Data includes: the domain name; your name and postal address; the name, email address, postal address, voice and fax numbers for technical and administrative contacts; the Internet protocol numbers for the primary and secondary name servers; the corresponding names of the name servers; the original date of registration and expiration date; the name of the primary and secondary name servers; and the identity of the Registrar.

3.6.3 The Registrar may be required to submit an electronic copy of the DNRS Data to ICANN from time to time. The Registrar must regularly submit an electronic copy of the DNRS Data to an escrow agent mutually approved by the Registrar and ICANN to be held in escrow.

3.6.4 Postalytics/AWS is required to collect the Registration Data in connection with your registration of the Registered Name. Other DNRS Data requested by Postalytics is voluntary but may be shared with the Registrar and/or ICANN if you provide it to Postalytics.

3.6.5 You may access and make corrections to your personal data through the Domain Interface in your Postalytics account.

3.6.6 You agree that Postalytics/AWS may retain all such DNRS Data during the term of this DNRA and for two years thereafter, in order to comply with ICANN requirements for the retention of such data.

3.6.7 You consent to such data processing of DNRS Data for the purposes and with the limitations described in this section and Section 3.7 below.

3.7 Regarding the DNRS Data described in Section 3.6 above, Postalytics agrees that:

3.7.1 Postalytics will not process the DNRS Data collected from you in a manner incompatible with the purposes and other limitations described in this section and Section 3.6 above.

3.7.2 Postalytics/AWS will take reasonable precautions to protect the DNRS Data provided by you from any loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

3.8 Postalytics will permit you to transfer the Registered Name to a third party as a professional service with additional fees. Contact Postalytics client services to discuss.

3.8.1 A change in the Registered Name Holder does not necessarily include the renewal of the Registered Name’s registration, which must be expressly requested and paid for. Postalytics is not responsible for the expiration of a Registered Name that is the result of any failure to renew the registration of the Registered Name.

3.8.2 A new Registered Name Holder must expressly confirm their desire to accept your transfer of the Registered Name, and must expressly accept the terms and conditions of this DNRA.

3.8.3 You may be prohibited from transferring the Registered Name to or from a third party under certain circumstances, including (A) within the first 60 days following your registration of the Registered Name for some TLDs, (B) in the event of a dispute regarding the Registered Name or its use, (C) in the event that you or the third party are not current with all payments due to Postalytics, or (D) in the case that your registration of a Registered Name has already expired.

3.8.4 You will remain bound to this DNRA for as long as you are identified in WHOIS as the Registered Name Holder or for so long as any domain name remains in your account with us, even if WHOIS records identify a third party.

3.9 You may transfer the sponsorship of a Registered Name either to or from another registrar under certain terms and conditions:

3.9.1 You agree to furnish Postalytics with any information necessary to transfer the sponsorship of your Registered Name to or from another registrar, or to assist Postalytics with resolving any transfer dispute.

3.9.2 The Registrar will transfer the sponsorship of a Registered Name in accordance with ICANN’s Policy on Transfer of Registrations between Registrars.

3.10 With respect to any third party to which you may license the Registered Name, or which you might otherwise permit to use the Registered Name (as permitted by this DNRA), you agree to the following:

3.10.1 You represent and warrant to Postalytics that, with regard to any third parties whose DNRS Data is supplied by you to Postalytics, you have given notice to such third parties regarding the data processing of such DNRS Data described in Section 3.6, and obtained consent from such third party equal to the consent given by you in Section 3.6.

3.10.2 You acknowledge and agree that if you intend to license a Registered Name to a third party, you nonetheless remain the Registered Name Holder of record and you will be responsible for providing and updating Registration Data in your own name to Postalytics.

3.10.3 You acknowledge and agree that if you do license the use of a Registered Name to a third party, you shall accept liability for harm caused by wrongful use of the Registered Name by the licensee.

  1. Intellectual Property

4.1 You represent and warrant that, to the best of your knowledge and belief, neither the registration of the Registered Name nor the manner in which it is directly or indirectly used infringes upon the legal rights of any third party.

4.2 You acknowledge and agree that, in addition to the requirements contained in this DNRA, the Registry Operator for a specific gTLD or ccTLD may have additional terms or conditions regarding intellectual property rights and your use of a Registered Name.

  1. Support

5.1 Support for the Domain Name Registration Services (“DNRS Support”) will be provided through Postalytics Customer Support by contacting Postalytics and/or opening a support ticket.

  1. Dispute Resolution

6.1 You agree to be bound by ICANN’s Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy. This policy is incorporated herein and made a part of this DNRA. You can view the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy online. You agree that ICANN may from time to time modify its Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy.

6.2 You also agree to submit to proceedings commenced under ICANN’s Uniform Rapid Suspension System, if applicable. This policy is incorporated herein and made a part of the Agreement.

6.3 You agree that, by maintaining your Registered Name registrations with Postalytics after any modifications to the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, Uniform Rapid Suspension System, or any other ICANN-required or Registry Operator-required dispute policy become effective, you agree to the policy as modified. You agree to review each dispute policy applicable to your domain name periodically to determine if modifications have been made to it. If you cancel or terminate your Services with Postalytics as a result of a modified dispute policy, no fees will be refunded to you.

6.4 You agree that if a dispute arises as a result of your use of the Domain Name Registration Services, you will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Postalytics, the Registrar, and the Registry Operator, and each of their directors, officers, employees, and agents, as provided for in this DNRA. You also agree that if Postalytics is notified that a complaint has been filed with a governmental, administrative, or judicial body regarding a Registered Name registered by you using Postalytics, that Postalytics, in its sole discretion, may take whatever action it deems necessary regarding further modification, assignment of and/or control of the Registered Names in order to comply with the actions or requirements of the governmental, administrative, or judicial body, or until such time as the dispute is settled. In this event, you agree to hold Postalytics harmless for any action taken by Postalytics, including cancellation, suspension, or disabling of your domain name and the release of your customer information.

6.5 Without limiting the generality of the Service Agreement, you agree to submit, without prejudice to other potentially applicable jurisdictions, to the jurisdiction of the courts (1) of your domicile and (2) where the Registrar is located, with respect to the adjudication of any disputes concerning or arising from use of the Registered Name or with respect to any “appeal” arising from a decision rendered by a panelist applying any ICANN- or Registry Operator-mandated dispute policy.

6.6 You agree that, in addition to other obligations and events set forth in this DNRA:

6.6.1 Your ability to use any of the services provided by Postalytics is subject to cancellation or suspension in the event there is an unresolved breach of this DNRA and/or suspension or cancellation is required by any policy now in effect or adopted later by ICANN.

6.6.2 Your registration of the Registered Name shall be subject to suspension, cancellation, or transfer pursuant to any Specification or Policy, or pursuant to any Registrar or Registry Operator procedure not inconsistent with any Specification or Policy, (1) to correct mistakes by Postalytics or the Registry Operator in registering the name, or (2) for the resolution of disputes concerning the Registered Name.

  1. Renewal

7.1 You are responsible for any renewals of your domain names. If you disable Automatic Renewal, if your payment method is rejected, or if Automatic Renewal is not available for your Registered Name, then as of the Expiration Date, you may experience an interruption or loss of services, and Postalytics shall not be liable to you or any third party as a result. Postalytics, AWS or Registrar will provide you with notifications of pending expiration, including a notification of the Expiration Date for your Registered Name, at least 1 month prior to the Expiration Date, 1 week prior to the Expiration Date, and 1 day after the Expiration Date. Notices will be sent to your email address on record, as provided in the Service Agreement.

7.2 If you do not effectively renew or transfer your registration of the Registered Name by the Expiration Date, Postalytics, AWS or the Registrar may, but are not obligated to, take actions in order to provide you with an opportunity to recover the Registered Name (“Recovery Services”) for a short period of time after the Expiration Date (the “Grace Period”), such as:

7.2.1 Postalytics, AWS or the Registrar may extend the effectiveness of your registration so that it remains effective for a short period of time beyond the Expiration Date. During this period, your registration information as the Registered Name Holder will continue to appear in the WHOIS database.

7.2.2 After your registration is no longer effective, Postalytics, AWS or the Registrar may place the Registered Name on a lock or hold status for a short period of time so that others cannot register the Registered Name until the end of the Grace Period. During this period, you will no longer be listed as the Registered Name Holder in the WHOIS database.

7.2.3 Only the Registered Name Holder is permitted to recover an expired Registered Name during the Grace Period. During the Grace Period, you will only be permitted to renew your registration of the Registered Name through Postalytics and will not be able to transfer it to another registrar.

7.2.4 The ability of Postalytics, AWS or the Registrar to provide you with a Grace Period following expiration of any Registered Name, and the actual length of the Grace Period and other timeframes identified in this Section, is subject to the rules and requirements of the Registry Operator for the relevant TLD.

7.3 If you disable Automatic Renewal, or if Automatic Renewal is not available for your Registered Name, or as of the Expiration Date and if you have not made valid and final payment of all applicable registration and recovery fees by the end of the Grace Period, then the Registrar is required by ICANN to delete the Registered Name no later than 45 days of the Expiration Date (and some Registry Operators may require deletions even earlier).

7.3.1 Once registration of the Registered Name is deleted, the Registered Name will be made available to the general public for registration on a first-come, first-served basis.

7.3.2 Postalytics may, in certain extenuating circumstances specifically approved by ICANN, required under a dispute policy, or mandated by a court of competent jurisdiction, renew a Registered Name without your explicit consent in order to prevent its deletion. You acknowledge and agree that your failure to respond to expiration and/or renewal notices from Postalytics or AWS is not an extenuating circumstance.

7.4 The Registry Operator for an individual TLD may implement specific rules which affect your ability to register, renew, and transfer Registered Names related to that TLD. You acknowledge and agree that you will review the specific rules relating to the TLD for your Registered Name, as available from the Registrar (the Amazon Registrar policy page or the Gandi contract page).

  1. Default Setting

8.1 Postalytics will configure the Registered Name to use default domain name server settings chosen by Postalytics in its discretion (the “Default Setting”). Postalytics may, in its discretion, use one of the following Default Settings:

8.2.1 Postalytics may use a Default Setting which does not direct the Registered Name to any web page, causing end users to receive a “server not found” message or similar message. You understand and agree that Postalytics is not obligated to direct end users to a Parking Page or other web page by default.

8.2.2 Postalytics may use a Default Setting which either directs end users to a Parking Page. You understand and agree that Postalytics has the right to direct the Registered Name to a Parking Page, and that Postalytics has sole discretion to determine the content of the Parking Page.

8.3 The “Default Setting” is that your hosted zone will be initially populated with a basic set of domain name server settings.

8.4 You agree that, in the event that the Default Setting is not acceptable to you, you are responsible for changing the Registered Name’s domain name server settings from the Default Setting. You may make changes to these settings in the Domains section of the Postalytics application.

  1. Fees and Payment

9.1 General Payment Terms

9.1.1 You agree to make all payments for the Domain Name Registration Services, according to the prices and conditions applicable at the time of the order or renewal. You acknowledge and agree that you must have provided Postalytics with valid payment information in connection with your use of the Domain Name Registration Services, and that any request to register or renew a Registered Name will not be effective unless and until payment to Postalytics is final.

9.1.2 You may make payments to Postalytics using a billing name and address separate from the names and addresses provided in the Registration Data. However, you understand and agree that control of any Registered Name is based solely on the Registration Data provided for the Registered Name Holder, and is not based on the identity of the person or entity paying for the Domain Name Registration Services.

9.1.3 You acknowledge that prices and fees for using the Domain Name Registration Services are non-refundable unless otherwise expressly noted, even if your registration of a Registered Name is suspended, terminated, or transferred prior to the Expiration Date.

9.1.4 Prices and fees for Domain Name Registration Services, including registration and renewal, are available at the pricing page. Automatic Renewals will be billed at the prices and fees applicable on the date the Automatic Renewal occurs. You agree that registration and renewal prices are subject to change at any time. Fees and charges for any new service or new feature of a service will be effective when we post update d fees and charges on the Domain Name Registration Services site, unless we expressly state otherwise in a notice.

9.1.5 Postalytics may charge an additional fee for Recovery Services used to recover a Registered Name which has expired due to your failure to renew your registration by the Expiration Date. Pricing for the use of Recovery Services is available on the pricing page.

9.2 You agree that you are solely responsible for ensuring that your payment and billing information is valid and current. Postalytics is under no obligation to renew your registration to the Registered Name if your payment and billing information is not current and valid. If your payment information on file with Postalytics is not current and valid, or if Postalytics is unable to finalize a transaction on the Automatic Renewal date, your Registered Name will not be automatically renewed and it will be your responsibility to effect a Manual Renewal in order to retain control of the Registered Name.

9.3 All fees and charges payable by you are exclusive of applicable taxes and duties, including VAT and applicable sales tax. You will provide us any information we reasonably request to determine whether we are obligated to collect VAT from you, including your VAT identification number. If you are legally entitled to an exemption from any sales, use, or similar transaction tax, you are responsible for providing us with legally-sufficient tax exemption certificates for each taxing jurisdiction. We will apply the tax exemption certificates to charges under your account occurring after the date we receive the tax exemption certificates. If any deduction or withholding is required by law, you will notify us and will pay us any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net amount that we receive, after any deduction and withholding, equals the amount we would have received if no deduction or withholding had been required. Additionally, you will provide us with documentation showing that the withheld and deducted amounts have been paid to the relevant taxing authority.

Deletion of your Registered Name will not entitle you to any refund.

10.4 Postalytics may terminate this DNRA for any reason by providing you 30 days advance notice. Postalytics may terminate this DNRA immediately upon notice to you (A) for cause, if any other agreement between you and Postalytics is terminated by Postalytics for cause, (B) in order to comply with ICANN agreements and consensus policies, or to maintain an affiliated entity’s compliance with ICANN agreements and consensus policies, (C) in order to comply with the law or requests of governmental entities, (D) in order to comply with the order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (E) if we determine use of the Domain Name Registration Services by you or our provision of any of the Domain Name Registration Services to you has become impractical or unfeasible for any legal or regulatory reason.

10.5 You acknowledge and agree that your continuing use of the Domain Name Registration Services will constitute your acceptance of any additional or updated terms and conditions which become effective after you have accepted this DNRA and registered the Registered Name. You agree that even if you register a Registered Name for an extended duration, or continue renewing your use of the Domain Name Registration Services through Automatic Renewal, you are responsible for monitoring and ensuring your compliance with any updated terms and conditions for your use of the Domain Name Registration Services.
