You acknowledge that you have reviewed the .tv General
Terms of Service which may be found at:
http://www.tv/en-def-5066945b5fcc/en/policies/tos.shtml
and expressly agree to the terms outlined therein.
10. AGENCY. Should you intend to license use of a
domain name to a third party you shall nonetheless be the
domain name holder of record and are therefore responsible
for providing your own full contact information and for
providing and updating accurate technical and
administrative contact information adequate to facilitate
timely resolution of any problems that arise in connection
with the domain name. You shall accept liability for harm
caused by wrongful use of the domain name. You represent
that you have provided notice of the terms and conditions
in this Agreement to a third party licensee and that the
third party agrees to the terms hereof.
11. ANNOUNCEMENTS. We reserve the right to
distribute information to you that is pertinent to the
quality or operation of our services and those of our
service partners. These announcements will be
predominately informative in nature and may include
notices describing changes, upgrades, new products or
other information to add security or to enhance your
identity on the Internet.
12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. You agree that our entire liability,
and your exclusive remedy, with respect to any Services(s)
provided under this Agreement and any breach of this Agreement
is solely limited to the amount you paid for such Service(s).
Neither we nor our contractors or third party beneficiaries
shall be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or
consequential damages resulting from the use or inability to use
any of the Services or for the cost of procurement of substitute
services. Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion
or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental
damages, in such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the
extent permitted by law. We disclaim any and all loss or
liability resulting from, but not limited to: (1) loss or
liability resulting from access delays or access interruptions;
(2) loss or liability resulting from data non-delivery or data
miss-delivery; (3) loss or liability resulting from acts of God;
(4) loss or liability resulting from the unauthorized use or
misuse of your account identifier or password; (5) loss or
liability resulting from errors, omissions, or misstatements in
any and all information or services(s) provided under this
Agreement; (6) loss or liability resulting from the interruption
of your Service. You agree that we will not be liable for any
loss of registration and use of your domain name, or for
interruption of business, or any indirect, special, incidental,
or consequential damages of any kind (including lost profits)
regardless of the form of action whether in contract, tort
(including negligence), or otherwise, even if we have been
advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall
our maximum liability exceed five hundred ($500.00) dollars.
13. INDEMNITY. You agree to release, indemnify, and hold
us, our contractors, agents, employees,officers, directors and
affiliates harmless from all liabilities, claims and expenses,
including attorney's fees, from claims by third parties,
including but not limited to the RSP and CIRA relating to or
arising under this Agreement, the Services provided hereunder or
your use of the Services, including without limitation
infringement by you, or someone else using the Service with your
computer, of any intellectual property or other proprietary
right of any person or entity, or from the violation of any of
our operating rules or policy relating to the service(s)
provided. You also agree to release, indemnify and hold us
harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the
CIRA Dispute Policy. When we are threatened with suit by a third
party, we may seek written assurances from you concerning your
promise to indemnify us; your failure to provide those
assurances may be considered by us to be a breach of your
Agreement and may result in deactivation of your domain name.
14. TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP. The person named as
administrative contact at the time the user name and
password are secured shall be the owner of the domain
name. You agree that prior to transferring ownership of
your domain name to another person (the Transferee") you
shall require the Transferee to agree in writing to be
bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Your domain name will not be transferred until we receive
such written assurances or other reasonable assurance that
the Transferee has been bound by the contractual terms of
this Agreement (such reasonable assurance as determined by
us in our sole discretion). If the Transferee fails to be
bound in a reasonable fashion (as determine by us in our
sole discretion) to the terms and conditions in this
Agreement, any such transfer will be null and void.
15. BREACH. You agree that failure to abide by any
provision of this Agreement, any operating rule or policy
or the Dispute Policy provided by us, may be considered by
us to be a material breach and that we may provide a
written notice, describing the breach, to you. If within
thirty (30) calendar days of the date of such notice, you
fail to provide evidence, which is reasonably satisfactory
to us, that you have not breached your obligations under
the Agreement, then we may delete the registration or
reservation of your domain name. Any such breach by you
shall not be deemed to be excused simply because we did
not act earlier in response to that, or any other breach
by you.
16. NO GUARANTY. You acknowledge that registration
or reservation of your chosen domain name, does not confer
immunity from objection to either the registration,
reservation, or use of the domain name.

use of our Services is solely at your own risk. You agree
that such Service(s) is provided on an "as is," "as

reliability of any information obtained through the
Service or that defects in the Service will be corrected.

precautions to protect the information we obtain from you
from our loss, misuse, unauthorized accessor disclosure,
alteration or destruction of that information.

or unreliable information, your wilful failure promptly to
update information provided to us, or your failure to
respond for over fifteen (15) calendar days to inquiries
by us concerning the accuracy of contact details
associated with the your registration shall constitute a
material breach of this Agreement and be a basis for
cancellation of the domain name registration.

reserve the right to refuse to register or reserve your
chosen domain name or register you for other Services. In

third party.

to reflect the original intentions of the parties, and the

effect.

Dispute Policy shall be construed as creating any agency,
partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the
parties.
24. NON-WAIVER. Our failure to require performance by you of
