Nice to Register. Safe to Own.
ICANN-Accredited Registrar ? Secure ? Transparent ? Built for Professionals

1. Who This Playbook Is For
This playbook is designed for teams that manage domains for others, including:
●  Web agencies managing client websites and brands
●   Hosting providers and MSPs handling customer infrastructure
●   SaaS and development teams integrating domain workflows
This is not for individual domain buyers. This is for professionals responsible for client domains, risk control, and long-term stability.

2. The Problems We Are Built to Solve
Teams managing client domains commonly face the same challenges: ●   Domains registered across multiple registrars with no central control ●  Suspensions or flags with unclear reasons
●   Registry rules that vary by extension and region
●   Clients demanding answers during incidents
●   No registrar willing to assist with escalation or appeals
NiceNIC exists to reduce operational risk, uncertainty, and time cost in domain management.

3. How Domain Management Works with NiceNIC
NiceNIC supports the full domain lifecycle, including:
●   Domain registration and renewal
●   DNS management
●  Transfers and portfolio consolidation
●   Multi-account and team-based access
●  API-based automation for scalable operations
All domains are managed through a unified control environment, designed for teams rather than individuals.

4. When an Issue or Complaint Occurs
When a domain issue arises, NiceNIC follows a structured, evidence-based process.
What NiceNIC Does
●  Verify the source and nature of the complaint
●   Classify the issue based on recognized abuse categories
●   Review supporting evidence before any action
●   Communicate clearly with the domain manager or agency
●   Provide a defined escalation and appeal path
What We Do Not Do
●   No silent or unexplained suspensions
●   No action without traceable evidence
●   No arbitrary decisions based on assumptions 
(Except where immediate action is required under applicable registry rules, ICANN policies, or legal obligations, in which case notification will follow as soon as reasonably possible.)
Our goal is clarity, predictability, and accountability.

5. Escalation and Appeal Support
For agencies and hosting providers, NiceNIC offers assisted escalation, including:
●   Guidance on required documentation
●   Standard appeal and response templates when applicable
●  Assistance communicating with registries
●   Status updates during review processes
This support is designed to help teams respond professionally and quickly to client-facing incidents.

6. High-Risk Domains and Preventive Controls
Certain domains or use cases may carry higher compliance or abuse risk.
●   Pre-check guidance for higher-risk registrations
●   Clear warnings when elevated risk is identified
●   Ongoing monitoring aligned with registry policies
Risk is managed through early visibility, not surprise enforcement.

7. What NiceNIC Commits To
All commitments listed below are subject to applicable registry rules, ICANN policies, and legal requirements.
●   Fair, transparent domain operations
●   No suspension without valid evidence
●   Clear communication during incidents
●   Consistent processes across extensions
●   Human support for complex cases
Domains are treated as long-term digital assets, not disposable records.

8. Tools and Infrastructure
●   Centralized domain control panel
●  API access for registration, renewal, and DNS
●   Portfolio-level management features
●   Multi-user and team workflows
Automation is available without removing human oversight.

9. What NiceNIC Does Not Promise
To remain transparent, we do not promise:
●  Zero incidents in the global domain ecosystem
●  Automatic approval of all appeals
●  Actions outside registry or ICANN policy frameworks
What we do promise is a clear process and active participation.
Nothing in this playbook is intended to override or replace obligations imposed by registry operators, ICANN consensus policies, or applicable laws and regulations.

10. How to Work with NiceNIC as a Reseller Partner
NiceNIC works with partners who:
●   Manage domains on behalf of clients
●  Value predictable operations over short-term pricing
●   Require a registrar that assists when issues arise

If your team already handles client domains and wants a registrar that stands behind you when things get complicated, NiceNIC is built for that role.

Final Note
Trust in domain management is not created by slogans. It is created by processes you can verify and rely on. NiceNIC was built to be that partner.

]]> http://www.unionroom.cn/support/doc.php?IDDoc=4353 Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) www.nicenic.com Domain http://www.unionroom.cn/support/?IDCate=20 1. Purpose

This Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Policy") has been adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN"), is incorporated by reference into your Registration Agreement, and sets forth the terms and conditions in connection with a dispute between you and any party other than us (the registrar) over the registration and use of an Internet domain name registered by you. Proceedings under Paragraph 4 of this Policy will be conducted according to the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Rules of Procedure"), which are available here, and the selected administrative-dispute-resolution service provider's supplemental rules.

2. Your Representations

By applying to register 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 your Registration Agreement are complete and accurate; (b) to your knowledge, the registration of the domain name will not infringe upon or otherwise violate the rights of any third party; (c) you are not registering the domain name for an unlawful purpose; and (d) you will not knowingly use the domain name in violation of any applicable laws or regulations. It is your responsibility to determine whether your domain name registration infringes or violates someone else's rights.

3. Cancellations, Transfers, and Changes

We will cancel, transfer or otherwise make changes to domain name registrations under the following circumstances:

1. subject to the provisions of Paragraph 8, our receipt of written or appropriate electronic instructions from you or your authorized agent to take such action;

2. our receipt of an order from a court or arbitral tribunal, in each case of competent jurisdiction, requiring such action; and/or

3. our receipt of a decision of an Administrative Panel requiring such action in any administrative proceeding to which you were a party and which was conducted under this Policy or a later version of this Policy adopted by ICANN. (See Paragraph 4(i) and (k) below.)

4. We may also cancel, transfer or otherwise make changes to a domain name registration in accordance with the terms of your Registration Agreement or other legal requirements.

4. Mandatory Administrative Proceeding

This Paragraph sets forth the type of disputes for which you are required to submit to a mandatory administrative proceeding. These proceedings will be conducted before one of the administrative-dispute-resolution service providers listed here (each, a "Provider").

1. Applicable Disputes. You are required to submit to a mandatory administrative proceeding in the event that a third party (a "complainant") asserts to the applicable Provider, in compliance with the Rules of Procedure, that

1. your domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights; and

2. you have no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and

3. your domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.

In the administrative proceeding, the complainant must prove that each of these three elements are present.

2. Evidence of Registration and Use in Bad Faith. For the purposes of Paragraph 4(a)(iii), the following circumstances, in particular but without limitation, if found by the Panel to be present, shall be evidence of the registration and use of a domain name in bad faith:

1. circumstances indicating that you have registered or you have acquired the domain name primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the domain name registration to the complainant who is the owner of the trademark or service mark or to a competitor of that complainant, for valuable consideration in excess of your documented out-of-pocket costs directly related to the domain name; or

2. you have registered the domain name in order to prevent the owner of the trademark or service mark from reflecting the mark in a corresponding domain name, provided that you have engaged in a pattern of such conduct; or

3. you have registered the domain name primarily for the purpose of disrupting the business of a competitor; or

4. by using the domain name, you have intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to your web site or other on-line location, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the complainant's mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of your web site or location or of a product or service on your web site or location.

3. How to Demonstrate Your Rights to and Legitimate Interests in the Domain Name in Responding to a Complaint. When you receive a complaint, you should refer to Paragraph 5 of the Rules of Procedure in determining how your response should be prepared. Any of the following circumstances, in particular but without limitation, if found by the Panel to be proved based on its evaluation of all evidence presented, shall demonstrate your rights or legitimate interests to the domain name for purposes of Paragraph 4(a)(ii):

1. before any notice to you of the dispute, your use of, or demonstrable preparations to use, the domain name or a name corresponding to the domain name in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services; or

2. you (as an individual, business, or other organization) have been commonly known by the domain name, even if you have acquired no trademark or service mark rights; or

3. you are making a legitimate noncommercial or fair use of the domain name, without intent for commercial gain to misleadingly divert consumers or to tarnish the trademark or service mark at issue.

4. Selection of Provider. The complainant shall select the Provider from among those approved by ICANN by submitting the complaint to that Provider. The selected Provider will administer the proceeding, except in cases of consolidation as described in Paragraph 4(f).

5. Initiation of Proceeding and Process and Appointment of Administrative Panel. The Rules of Procedure state the process for initiating and conducting a proceeding and for appointing the panel that will decide the dispute (the "Administrative Panel").

6. Consolidation. In the event of multiple disputes between you and a complainant, either you or the complainant may petition to consolidate the disputes before a single Administrative Panel. This petition shall be made to the first Administrative Panel appointed to hear a pending dispute between the parties. This Administrative Panel may consolidate before it any or all such disputes in its sole discretion, provided that the disputes being consolidated are governed by this Policy or a later version of this Policy adopted by ICANN.

7. Fees. All fees charged by a Provider in connection with any dispute before an Administrative Panel pursuant to this Policy shall be paid by the complainant, except in cases where you elect to expand the Administrative Panel from one to three panelists as provided in Paragraph 5(b)(iv) of the Rules of Procedure, in which case all fees will be split evenly by you and the complainant.

8. Our Involvement in Administrative Proceedings. We do not, and will not, participate in the administration or conduct of any proceeding before an Administrative Panel. In addition, we will not be liable as a result of any decisions rendered by the Administrative Panel.

9. Remedies. The remedies available to a complainant pursuant to any proceeding before an Administrative Panel shall be limited to requiring the cancellation of your domain name or the transfer of your domain name registration to the complainant.

10. Notification and Publication. The Provider shall notify us of any decision made by an Administrative Panel with respect to a domain name you have registered with us. All decisions under this Policy will be published in full over the Internet, except when an Administrative Panel determines in an exceptional case to redact portions of its decision.

11. Availability of Court Proceedings. The mandatory administrative proceeding requirements set forth in Paragraph 4 shall not prevent either you or the complainant from submitting the dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction for independent resolution before such mandatory administrative proceeding is commenced or after such proceeding is concluded. If an Administrative Panel decides that your domain name registration should be canceled or transferred, we will wait ten (10) business days (as observed in the location of our principal office) after we are informed by the applicable Provider of the Administrative Panel's decision before implementing that decision. We will then implement the decision unless we have received from you during that ten (10) business day period official documentation (such as a copy of a complaint, file-stamped by the clerk of the court) that you have commenced a lawsuit against the complainant in a jurisdiction to which the complainant has submitted under Paragraph 3(b)(xiii) of the Rules of Procedure. (In general, that jurisdiction is either the location of our principal office or of your address as shown in our Whois database. See Paragraphs 1 and 3(b)(xiii) of the Rules of Procedure for details.) If we receive such documentation within the ten (10) business day period, we will not implement the Administrative Panel's decision, and we will take no further action, until we receive (i) evidence satisfactory to us of a resolution between the parties; (ii) evidence satisfactory to us that your lawsuit has been dismissed or withdrawn; or (iii) a copy of an order from such court dismissing your lawsuit or ordering that you do not have the right to continue to use your domain name.

5. All other disputes and litigation

All other disputes between you and any party other than us regarding your domain name registration that are not brought pursuant to the mandatory administrative proceeding provisions of Paragraph 4 shall be resolved between you and such other party through any court, arbitration or other proceeding that may be available.

6. Our involvement in disputes

We will not participate in any way in any dispute between you and any party other than us regarding the registration and use of your domain name. You shall not name us as a party or otherwise include us in any such proceeding. In the event that we are named as a party in any such proceeding, we reserve the right to raise any and all defenses deemed appropriate, and to take any other action necessary to defend ourselves.

7. Maintaining status quo

We will not cancel, transfer, activate, deactivate, or otherwise change the status of any domain name registration under this Policy except as provided in Paragraph 3 above.

8. Transfers during a dispute

Transfers of a Domain Name to a New Holder

You may not transfer your domain name registration to another holder (i) during a pending administrative proceeding brought pursuant to Paragraph 4 or for a period of fifteen (15) business days (as observed in the location of our principal place of business) after such proceeding is concluded; or (ii) during a pending court proceeding or arbitration commenced regarding your domain name unless the party to whom the domain name registration is being transferred agrees, in writing, to be bound by the decision of the court or arbitrator. We reserve the right to cancel any transfer of a domain name registration to another holder that is made in violation of this subparagraph.

Changing Registrars

You may not transfer your domain name registration to another registrar during a pending administrative proceeding brought pursuant to Paragraph 4 or for a period of fifteen (15) business days (as observed in the location of our principal place of business) after such proceeding is concluded. You may transfer administration of your domain name registration to another registrar during a pending court action or arbitration, provided that the domain name you have registered with us shall continue to be subject to the proceedings commenced against you in accordance with the terms of this Policy. In the event that you transfer a domain name registration to us during the pendency of a court action or arbitration, such dispute shall remain subject to the domain name dispute policy of the registrar from which the domain name registration was transferred.

9. Policy modifications

We reserve the right to modify this Policy at any time with the permission of ICANN. We will post our revised Policy at this location at least thirty (30) calendar days before it becomes effective. Unless this Policy has already been invoked by the submission of a complaint to a Provider, in which event the version of the Policy in effect at the time it was invoked will apply to you until the dispute is over, all such changes will be binding upon you with respect to any domain name registration dispute, whether the dispute arose before, on or after the effective date of our change. In the event that you object to a change in this Policy, your sole remedy is to cancel your domain name registration with us, provided that you will not be entitled to a refund of any fees you paid to us. The revised Policy will apply to you until you cancel your domain name registration.

]]> http://www.unionroom.cn/support/doc.php?IDDoc=4352 Request for Disclosure of Non-Public Registrant Data www.nicenic.com Domain http://www.unionroom.cn/support/?IDCate=20 For privacy reasons, personal information contained in registration data is no longer displayed in our public WHOIS. However, as an ICANN accredited registrar, NiceNIC is contractually mandated to permit third parties to request access to non-public registration data ("NPRD"). This policy sets forth the general guidelines for a third party to request access to NPRD on the basis of legitimate interest ("Legitimate Interest"). This policy does not jeopardize the fundamental interests, rights and freedoms of a data subject, consistent with the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") or other similar privacy laws. Also, this policy is not a substitute for other less-intrusive mechanisms available (see Key Considerations, Section 2 below) and we expect these mechanisms to be exhausted prior to any request for NPRD, which should be an avenue of extreme measure and last resort given its potential impact to the data subject.

Key Considerations:

1.Legitimate Interest

You must demonstrate Legitimate Interest in the NPRD you seek in a manner that does not jeopardize the fundamental interests, rights and freedoms of the relevant data subject, consistent with GDPR or other applicable privacy laws, by conducting a 3-part balancing test ("Legitimate Interest Assessment" or "LIA") and submitting your results for review by NiceNIC. To learn more about LIA, please consult your legal advisors or review help articles at the UK Information Commission’s Office.


2.Less-Intrusive Mechanisms
NiceNIC offers numerous less-intrusive mechanisms to help address both abuse and infringement.

The fundamental rights and freedoms of relevant data subjects outweigh the legitimate interest of a third party when other reasonable and less-intrusive mechanisms are available.


3.Data Protection

You must demonstrate that you have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure that any NPRD received through this process will be performed in a manner compliant with GDPR or other applicable privacy laws. Additionally, NiceNIC, at its discretion but at your expense, may require an audit of your data processing practices to ensure such practices comply with GDPR or other applicable privacy laws.


4.Data Handling of NPRD
You will be responsible for properly disposing the NPRD within 30 days of receipt or when you can no longer rely on Legitimate Interest as the lawful basis of processing NPRD; whichever is sooner.

How to submit a request for NPRD

1.If you wish to submit a request for NPRD, please download and complete the NPRD Request Form, including all supporting documentation, and submit your completed file to abuse@www.unionroom.cn.
  • Law enforcement or government agency requests for NPRD will require additional verification. Please email abuse@www.unionroom.cn for more information.
2.Upon receipt of your completed file, NiceNIC will initiate an investigation and respond to a request within 15 days of receipt.
  • Requests must only be for current domain registrations. We do not provide historical or archived NPRD through this process.
  • Requests must include the exact domain name under review. We do not fulfill partial match requests through this process.
  • Requests are reviewed and fulfilled on a per-domain basis. We do not provide search results across multiple related domains or NPRD using this process.
  • We will not provide any additional contact details aside from the following: registrant, admin or tech name and email address.
3.If NiceNIC concludes, at its sole discretion, that you have demonstrated a legitimate interest for the NPRD requested, we will send you a WHOIS Access Agreement to sign, and upon signature, provide you limited access to the requested NPRD.
  • If we conclude you have not demonstrated a legitimate interest to NPRD, no information will be provided.

www.unionroom.cn is an accredited registrar with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") for generic top level domain names ("gTLDs") such as .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, .jobs, and more and various sponsored top-level domain names ("sTLDs"). www.unionroom.cn may also, at its sole discretion, accept registration applications in non-ASCII character languages such as Chinese, Korean, and more ("Internationalized Domain Names" or "IDNs"). ICANN oversees registrations and other aspects of gTLDs policies and operations of accredited registrars like www.unionroom.cn. You acknowledge and agree that your rights to any domain names registered or renewed through www.unionroom.cn are subject to the policies and regulations of ICANN, the related Registry (as defined below) and various laws. You agree to abide by the terms in this Agreement to register and renew domain names as well as all terms and conditions of ICANN governing the registration and renewal of such domain names including, but not limited to, dispute resolution policies such as the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy ("UDRP") or the Uniform Rapid Suspension Policy ("URS") as well as all current and future policies of Registries (as defined below) related to those domain names including, but not limited to, their acceptable use policies, privacy policies, and WHOIS data policies.

Domain name registrations are not effective until the registry administrator ("Registry" and "Registries" shall be construed accordingly) puts them into effect. For a list of Registries and for more information on top level domain names ("TLDs"), see www.icann.org/tlds/. Domain name registrations are created and renewed for specified terms, terms which end on the specified expiration date if not renewed. For domain names which are created as a new registration out of the available namespace, the term begins on the date the domain name registration is created by the applicable Registry. You agree that we are not liable or responsible in any way for any errors, omissions, or any other actions by the Registry arising out of, or related to a request to register, renew, modify, transfer, or renew a domain name. The registration or renewal is only effective once the Registry creates the registration or accepts the renewal.

2. Country Code Top Level Domain Name Registration

In addition to gTLDs, sTLDS, and IDNs, www.unionroom.cn also registers country code top-level domain names ("ccTLDs"). There are additional agreements that you must agree to should you desire to apply for registration of a domain name in any ccTLD. Each ccTLD Registry creates and enforces its own rules, regulations, policies and procedures governing various aspects of ccTLDs registered in their respective namespace or zone, including, but not limited to, dispute resolution policies which may be different to those promulgated by ICANN and WHOIS data policies which may also vary from ICANN's WHOIS policies.

Links to information on each ccTLD Registry policy can be found here: http://www.iana.org/root-whois/.

When you register a ccTLD with www.unionroom.cn or one of its subsidiaries or affiliates, you acknowledge and agree to, and are bound by, the respective ccTLD Registry's rules, regulations, policies and procedures.

We may publish portions of each ccTLD Registry's policies on the Site, including information on requirements, renewal policies, redemption policies, and other information from time to time. We are not liable in any way whatsoever for any errors, omissions, or mistakes published on the Site. ccTLD Registry policies change from time to time and it is your responsibility to verify the rules, regulations, policies and procedures of each ccTLD Registry.

3. Premium Domain Name Registration

You acknowledge that we provide premium domain name registration services ("Premium Domains") on the Site under separate agreements with unrelated 3rd parties ("3rd Party Services"). We act as an intermediary for the purchase of Premium Domains and we are not responsible for the performance, completeness, correctness, or failure of the 3rd Party Services. Additionally, you agree to abide by the terms and conditions required by the 3rd parties for the use of the 3rd Party Services when such terms are made available to you prior to your election to use such services, and when such terms are subsequently updated.

4. Pre-registration, Sunrise, and Landrush

In the event that we make pre-registration available for a gTLDs, sTLDs, IDNs, or ccTLDs whether in sunrise, landrush, general pre-registration phases, or other pre-registration phrases, we do not guarantee the successful registration of a pre-registration application or your immediate access to the domain name if successfully secured. We may use 3rd Party Services for pre-registrations. Pre-registration fees, setup fees, and application fees are strictly non-refundable regardless of success or outcome.

5. No Guarantee of Registration or Renewal

No domain registration under this Agreement shall be deemed effective until we deliver the domain name application or renewal application to the appropriate Registry and the Registry accepts your application and creates your domain name registration or renewal. Submitting your application to us, and our accepting of Fees for your application, by itself does not constitute a successfully registered application or renewal.

You acknowledge that we are in no way responsible for and can never guarantee, that the domain name you are applying for is not being applied for by another party or with another registrar, that there are no inaccuracies in the Registry's WHOIS or other databases, that the search availability results are correct, or that there are errors, omissions, or inaccuracies that occur during the registration or renewal process which affect the result of your registration or renewal application.

You further acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for ensuring that your registration or renewal has been properly processed. We may elect to accept or reject your application for registration or renewal at any time for any reason at our sole and absolute discretion, including, but not limited to, pricing errors, attempts to apply for domain names that are prohibited, improper, unavailable, infringe on 3rd party intellectual property or other rights, are questionable or violate any other agreements or terms and conditions contained in this Agreement or other agreements with us. You also acknowledge and agree that we are not liable or responsible in any way for errors, omissions, acts, inaccuracies related to the Site, or actions by any 3rd parties including any gTLD, sTLD, IDN, or ccTLD Registry arising out of your application or potential application for, and registration or renewal of, a particular domain name.

6. Your Obligations

You acknowledge that we do not check, unless it is explicitly required to do so by a Registry, to see whether the domain names you select, or your use of the domain name, or other services provided by us or unrelated 3rd parties in relation to the domain name, infringes on the intellectual property or other legal rights of others, violates the rules, regulations, policies, or procedures of the respective Registry, or violates local, state, national or international laws. It is your sole responsibility to understand and accept the terms and policies of each Registry to ensure that your application for registration or renewal, and subsequent use, of the domain name does not violate any of these terms.

You agree that if we terminate or suspend the Services provided to you under this Agreement, that we may then, at our option, make either ourselves or a third party the beneficiary of Services which are substantially similar to those which were previously providing to you and that any reference in this Agreement to termination or suspension of the Services to you includes this option.

7. Domain Name Registrant

When applying for and registering a domain name with us, you will be asked to designate a registrant for the domain name ("Registrant"). The Registrant is granted all rights under this Agreement to act in respect to the domain name and any other services obtained from us in connection with the domain name, including, but not limited to, the authority to terminate, delete, transfer, renew, or otherwise modify the domain name or related Services, or obtain additional services in relation to the domain name.

The Registrant is responsible for providing its own full contact information and for providing and updating accurate technical and administrative contact information under this Agreement. A Registrant that licenses the use of a domain name shall accept liability for harm caused by wrongful use of the domain name, unless the Registrant discloses the current contact information provided by the licensee and the identity of the licensee (in accordance with applicable data protection law) within seven (7) days to a party providing Registrant reasonable evidence of actionable harm.

If you, acting as the Account holder, are providing Registrant information on Registrant's behalf, you represent that you have obtained consent from the Registrant and notice has been given to them sufficient to enter the terms of this Agreement on their behalf. Failure to do so it a material breach of this Agreement.

8. Administrative Contact

When applying for and registering a domain name with us, you will be asked to designate an administrative contact for the domain name ("Administrative Contact") to confer certain rights to under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, purchasing additional services, transferring the domain name to another registrar where allowable by the applicable Registry, and updating the domain name settings. The Administrative Contact may be the same as the Registrant. The Registrant is responsible for all actions, errors or omissions of the Administrative Contact.

9. Trustee Services

We may, from time to time, offer administrative, registrant, agent, or local presence services to you ("Trustee Services") in connection with the Services under this Agreement. Trustee Services may grant certain rights, access, duties and responsibilities to the grantee ("Trustee") with respect to the domain name. Trustee Services may designate another party as Registrant or Administrative Contact for your domain name, however, you retain all rights to the domain name granted to you under this Agreement until the termination of this Agreement, expiration, cancellation, or deletion of the domain name or transfer to another registrar, including the right to terminate the Trustee Agreement at any time.

In rare cases, for certain ccTLDs, the use of, and subscription to, our Trustee Services may be required in order for us to manage your domain name regardless of whether you are able to satisfy the Registry requirements (for example, including, but not limited to: .CW, .COM.AR, .EE, .RS, .AL, .BG, .GE, .COM.BN, .IQ, .SK, .CL).

By ordering Trustee Services, you agree to be bound by the terms of the Trustee Services Agreement, which are incorporated herein and made part of this Agreement by reference.

You may, at your complete and sole discretion, revoke such designation and Trustee Services without notice by submitting a request in writing to us through the support ticket system or other written method. In no case will you be entitled to a refund in full or pro-rata for any part of the term of the Trustee Service not fulfilled.

10. Private Registration

We may, from time to time, make available private registration services ("Private Registration Services"). Private registration provides you with the option of registering a domain name in TLDs that allow such registration, in the name of a 3rd party whose contact information will be displayed in the public WHOIS database instead of your contact information. By ordering Private Registration Services, you agree to be bound by the terms of the WHOIS Privacy Agreement, which is incorporated herein and made part of this Agreement by reference.

You may, at your complete and sole discretion, revoke such Private Registration Services without notice by submitting a request in writing to us through the support ticket system or other written method. In no case, will you be entitled to a refund in full or pro-rata, for any part of the term of the Private Registration Services not fulfilled.

11. IDNs, Accuracy and Functionality of non-Latin Characters

You acknowledge and agree that we cannot guarantee the accuracy and functionality of non-ASCII character languages such as Chinese, Korean, and more ("Internationalized Domain Names" or "IDNs"). We cannot guarantee that IDNs will be accessible by internet users or that they will be translated properly by the internationalized domain name system into readable punycode. Further, we make available on the Site translation tools provided by 3rd parties such as Google and that these tools are treated as 3rd Party Services under your agreements with us. We will in no way be liable for the use of 3rd Party Services used for translation. We will also not be liable for suspension, modification, or cancellation of your IDNs in order to comply with current or future ICANN or the Internet Engineering Task Force ("IETF") rules, regulations, or technical standards that apply to IDN registrations or renewals.

12. Transfers

You are able to transfer domain names to or from us according to the terms and transfer policies of the respective Registry for the TLD of the domain name you wish to transfer. Each Registry has its own unique transfer policy which we adhere to. For all TLDs under ICANN sponsorship, you may find more information on the transfer policy that we are required to follow for all TLDs under ICANN sponsorship here: http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/transfers

In order to determine who the sponsoring registrar currently is for your domain name, please visit: http://www.internic.net/whois.html

In order to protect your domain names, we place a transfer lock on domain names in many TLDs automatically when they are registered or renewed with us. In order to transfer to another registrar, you must remove this transfer lock. You are able to do this from your account on the Site.

If you purchased Trustee Services or Private Registration Services from us when registering or renewing the domain name you would like to transfer out, we must cancel these services, and you are required to replace any of our information, documentation, or our Trustee's information and/or documentation in relation to these services with your own information, before the transfer out will be approved by us.

You acknowledge that when cancelling these services, this action may qualify as an ownership change or other update to the domain name which may incur additional fees or require you to renew the domain name with us prior to transferring the domain name to another registrar. There will be no refund for partially fulfilled terms for Trustee Services or Private Registration Services.

In no event, shall we be liable for the failure of a transfer or loss of your domain name if the transfer is initiated close to the end of the registration term, the transfer is not approved by the Registrant or Administrative Contact of the domain name, the fees for the Service remain unpaid or are in dispute, or any other reason outlined by ICANN or the Registry's transfer policies.


In the event that a Transfer Contact listed in the Whois has not confirmed their request to transfer with the Registrar of Record and the Registrar of Record has not explicitly denied the transfer request, the default action will be that the Registrar of Record must allow the transfer to proceed.

Upon denying a transfer request for any of the following reasons, the Registrar of Record must provide the Registered Name Holder and the potential Gaining Registrar with the reason for denial. The Registrar of Record may deny a transfer request only in the following specific instances:

  • Evidence of fraud
  • UDRP action
  • Court order by a court of competent jurisdiction
  • Reasonable dispute over the identity of the Registered Name Holder or Administrative Contact
  • No payment for previous registration period (including credit card charge-backs) if the domain name is past its expiration date or for previous or current registration periods if the domain name has not yet expired. In all such cases, however, the domain name must be put into "Registrar Hold" status by the Registrar of Record prior to the denial of transfer.
  • Express written objection to the transfer from the Transfer Contact. (e.g. - email, fax, paper document or other processes by which the Transfer Contact has expressly and voluntarily objected through opt-in means)
  • A domain name was already in “l(fā)ock status” provided that the Registrar provides a readily accessible and reasonable means for the Registered Name Holder to remove the lock status.
  • A domain name is in the first 60 days of an initial registration period.
  • A domain name is within 60 days (or a lesser period to be determined) after being transferred (apart from being transferred back to the original Registrar in cases where both Registrars so agree and/or where a decision in the dispute resolution process so directs).

13. Fees, Refunds, and Cancellation Fees

All Services under this Agreement are provided on a pre-paid or advanced basis.

The fees imposed by us under this Agreement are subject to change at any time, without notice, at our sole discretion. Such change shall be posted to the Site, with or without notice, and are effective as of the date of publication.

All fees under this Agreement are non-refundable, in whole or in part, unless the application for domain name registration or renewal is rejected due to the following reasons:

(a) the domain name is unavailable because it is already registered to another party, prohibited by the Registry's policies, or prohibited due to the violation of terms found in this Agreement or the Master Service Agreement;

(b) the TLD in which the domain name belongs has been discontinued, restricted due to government regulations or is no longer offered by us.

Domain registration requests made in any pre-registration, Sunrise, or Landrush phase are non-refundable, or are subject to a cancellation fee, unless your request is upgraded to an earlier phase, unavailable because it is registered by another party, requested in an earlier phase by another party or prohibited by the respective Registry's policies.

We reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee in the case that you submit a domain name registration or renewal application and disregard, ignore, overlook, mistake, or attempt to otherwise circumvent, the requirements imposed by the Registry or by us which cause your application to be incomplete or rejected.

Additionally, we reserve the right to charge processing fees for modifications ("Modification Fees") to your domain name, including, but not limited to, DNS changes, contact information changes to WHOIS information, and web forwarding changes. Generally, Modification Fees are not charged in relation to gTLDs. Modification Fees are common in relation to many ccTLDs.

Attention: we don’t issue any refund on services paid by crypto payment methods.

14. Renewal and Expiration of Services

You acknowledge that, even though we may provide an auto-renewal service for your convenience, it is your sole responsibility to keep your own records and to maintain your own reminders regarding when your Services are set to expire to ensure that your Renewal Fees are paid for the Services prior to the due date.

As a convenience to you, and not as a binding agreement, we may notify you via the primary email address provided in your Account, or from the control panel in your Account, when Fees for renewal of the Services are due ("Renewal Fees"). Renewal Fees are available in your Account at any time prior to the due date of the Renewal Fees. It is your responsibility to ensure that the Renewal Fees are paid in advance of the due date to prevent an interruption in Services or additional fees to restore the Services.

With respect to domain name registration services, we will send expiration reminder notices to the primary email address of the Account holder. However, such notices are a courtesy only and our failure to send such notices shall not create any responsibility, obligation, or liability for us.

You acknowledge that registry operators may have non-uniform Renewal Fee policies in place. As such, your Renewal Fee may be higher or lower than your initial registration fee or may be different between domain names in the same TLD. When possible, we will present the renewal fee to you upon your initial registration. If this is not possible, you may see what the Renewal Fee is by logging into your Account any time after the initial domain name registration and starting with the renewal process.

If you ordered additional services, including, but not limited to, Trustee Services, Private Registration Services, or any other services from us in conjunction with a domain name under this Agreement, those services shall be renewed at the same time as your domain name.

For certain ccTLDs, the due date of your Renewal Fees may be up to 60 days prior to the expiration date of the underlying domain name registration. Certain Registries require renewal up to 60 days in advance of the domain name expiration date. It is your responsibility to pay for your Renewal Fees in advance of the due date specified by us regardless of the domain name expiration date. Failure to pay your Renewal Fees prior to the due date may result in additional fees to restore the domain name, suspension, loss, cancellation, or deletion of the domain name according to the ccTLD registry's respective policy.

Additionally, you acknowledge that payment of certain ccTLDs exactly on the due date may also incur additional fees to restore the domain name, suspension, loss, cancellation, or deletion of the domain name.

We are not liable for your failure to pay the Renewal Fees prior to the due date specified by us.

Immediately after the expiration of a domain name and before the deletion of the domain name in the applicable Registry's database, you acknowledge that we may direct the domain name to name servers and/or IP addresses designated by us, including, without limitation, to no IP address or to an IP address which hosts a parking page or a search engine page that may display advertisements or other content, and you acknowledge that we may either leave your information intact or that we may change your information for the expired domain name so that you are no longer the listed as the Registrant or Administrative Contact of the expired domain name.

Renewal and Redemption Process for TLDs under ICANN Sponsorship: For a period of 29 days after the expiration of the term of your domain name, you acknowledge that we may provide a procedure by which your expired domain name may be renewed. You acknowledge and agree that we may, but is not obligated to, offer this process, called the Renewal Period ("RP". You acknowledge that you assume all risks and all consequences if you wait until close to, or after, the expiration of the original term of the domain name, to attempt to renew the domain name. You acknowledge and agree that we may make expired domain names available to third parties and that expired domain names may be re-registered to any party at any time.

You agree that we are not obliged to contact you to alert you that the Services are being terminated if you choose not to pay the redemption fee. After the end of the RGP, if you do not exercise your rights under this section, you agree that you have abandoned the domain name, and relinquish all rights to, and use of, the domain name.

You acknowledge that the renewal, redemption, and restoration processes available from ccTLD Registries are varied and are subject to each respective Registry's policies and procedures. In any case, we may or may not provide access to these processes, at its sole and absolute discretion.

15. Auto-Renewal

You acknowledge that, even though we may provide an auto-renewal service to you for your convenience, it is your sole responsibility to keep your own records and to maintain your own reminders regarding when your Services are set to expire to ensure that your Renewal Fees are paid for the Services prior to the due date, including any services provided for under the Master Service Agreement or any other agreement with us. We are in no way liable or responsible for failure of the auto-renewal service to pay your Renewal Fees to renew the Services by the due date.

16. Dispute Policies

As a condition to entering into this Agreement with us, you must agree to the Registry's policies and procedures for the applicable TLD for which you are submitting an application for domain name registration or renewal, and if applicable, the policies and procedures of ICANN. As such, you agree to be governed by the dispute resolution policies adopted and promulgated by each respective Registry which you enter into an agreement with under this Agreement.

By entering into this Agreement by submitting an application to us for any TLD under ICANN's sponsorship, you agree to be bound by the terms of ICANN's UDRP and URS Policies, which are incorporated herein and made part of this Agreement by reference.

With respect to the administrative, technical, and billing contacts for your domain names, you must submit the following: name, postal address, e-mail address, voice telephone number, and where available, fax number. You agree that the type of information you are required to provide may change and you acknowledge that, if you do not provide the newly required information, your Services under this Agreement may be suspended or terminated or may not be renewed. Failure to provide complete and accurate information may prevent you from obtaining the Services.

If you do not provide complete name server information, you agree that we may supply this information for you (and point your domain name to a website or IP address of our choosing) until such time as you elect to supply name server information.

You further agree that a public WHOIS database will be published, as required by ICANN and various Registries as part of their adopted WHOIS policies, containing the information you provide above in relation to this Agreement. The WHOIS database may publish information beyond many Registry requirements.

You acknowledge and agree that we will make available the Account information that you provide or that we otherwise maintain to the following parties: ICANN, various Registries, and other third parties as ICANN and applicable laws may require or permit (including through web-based and other on-line WHOIS lookup systems), whether during or after the term of your domain name under this Agreement. You hereby irrevocably waive any and all claims and causes of action you may have arising from such disclosure or use of such information. Additionally, you acknowledge that ICANN, or various Registries, may establish or modify the guidelines, limits and/or requirements that relate to the amount and type of information that we may or must make available to the public or to private entities, and the manner in which such information is made available. Information regarding ICANN's guidelines and requirements regarding WHOIS can be found at http://www.icann.org/registrars/wmrp.htm, http://www.icann.org/registrars/wdrp.htm, and elsewhere on the ICANN website at http://www.icann.org/index.html. You agree that we may make publicly available some, or all, of the information you provide, for purposes of inspection (such as through the WHOIS service), and other purposes as required or permitted by applicable laws.

You agree that your willful submission of inaccurate or unreliable information, your failure to update your information within seven (7) days or your failure to respond in seven (7) calendar days to inquiries by us concerning the accuracy of your Account information and WHOIS contact information or violations of any terms of this Agreement shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and will be sufficient basis for suspension, cancellation, or termination of the domain name registration Services, including suspension, cancellation or deletion of the domain name, under this Agreement.

You understand that it is important for you to regularly monitor email sent to the email address associated with your account and WHOIS contact information because, among other reasons, if a dispute arises regarding your domain name or other related services, you may lose your rights to the domain name or your right to receive the Services if you do not respond appropriately to an email sent in conjunction therewith.

Important Note: This document sets out the minimum terms and conditions to be contained in a Registration Agreement between the Registrar and a Registrant. It does not purport to be, and is not, a comprehensive Registration Agreement. This document is applied to all domain names operated by HKIRC.

1.1 The Registrant shall at all times comply with all prevailing requirements prescribed by HKIRC in connection with any of the .hk or.香港 domain name (the "Domain Name"), and shall only request the Registrar Services in the form and manner prescribed by HKIRC from time to time.

1.2 In registering a Domain Name, the Registrant acknowledges and agrees that neither HKIRC nor NICENIC International Group Co., Limited (the "Registrar") has made any determination with respect to the legality of the Domain Name registration or its use.

1.3 The Registrant acknowledges and agrees that the Registrar shall monitor the status of Domain Names registered through the Registrar and shall, at its own initiative or on receipt of complaint, conduct checks to verify whether a Domain Name is being used in connection with phishing or "spam" advertising. The Registrar shall delete or suspend a Domain Name if so directed by HKIRC. HKIRC may issue such a direction on receipt of any notice from any government or law enforcement authority (including without limitation the Hong Kong Police Force or the Office of Telecommunications Authority) that the use of the Domain Name is in breach of any laws, directives, guidelines, codes of practice or regulations issued by such local authorities, or if, in HKIRC's reasonable belief, the continuation of registration of the Domain Name or the operation of web site referenced   by the Domain Name is likely to damage or adversely affect the goodwill, reputation and operation of HKIRC or the domain name industry in Hong Kong, or may expose HKIRC to risks of third party claims or civil or criminal prosecution.

]]> http://www.unionroom.cn/support/doc.php?IDDoc=829 Why does NiceNIC Reseller Program try a prepaid system? www.nicenic.com Domain http://www.unionroom.cn/support/?IDCate=20
Actually, working on a prepaid system is beneficial both for you and NiceNIC. Our prices are discounted, while the interests of domain name owners are incredibly high. By maintaining a prepaid balance you will be able to renew your domain registrations automatically and you do NOT have to concern yourself with losing domain names. For NiceNIC this system guarantees continuity and less administration, which makes it possible to keep our prices low. Additionally it may also offer us the means to keep upgrading and perfecting our equipment and services.

Your deposit will never expire and there is no threshold for a minimal balance. You could use the full amount deposited without making a new deposit. However, we advise you to have positive balance on your account for automatic renewals therefore you would NOT lose any domains.

]]> http://www.unionroom.cn/support/doc.php?IDDoc=804 Registrar Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy www.nicenic.com Domain http://www.unionroom.cn/support/?IDCate=20 In any dispute relating to Inter-Registrar domain name transfers, Registrars are encouraged to first of all attempt to resolve the problem among the Registrars involved in the dispute. In cases where this is unsuccessful and where a registrar elects to file a dispute, the following procedures apply. It is very important for Registrars to familiarize themselves with the Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy (TDRP) as described in this document before filing a dispute. Transfer dispute resolution fees can be substantial. It is critical that Registrars fully understand the fees that must be paid, which party is responsible for paying those fees and when and how those fees must be paid.
The TDRP and corresponding procedures will apply to all domain names for which transfer requests are submitted on or after the effective date of this policy.

1. Definitions

1.1 Dispute Resolution Panel

     The Dispute Resolution Panel shall mean an administrative panel appointed by a Dispute Resolution Provider ("Provider") to decide a Request for Enforcement concerning a dispute under this Dispute Resolution Policy.

1.2 Dispute Resolution Provider

1.3 The Dispute Resolution Provider must be an independent and neutral third party that is neither associated nor affiliated with either Registrar involved in the dispute or the Registry Operator under which the disputed domain name is registered. ICANN shall have the authority to accredit one or more independent and neutral Dispute Resolution Providers according to criteria developed in accordance with this Dispute Resolution Policy.

1.4 FOA

     Form of Authorization - The standardized form of consent that the Gaining Registrar and Registrar of Record are required to use to obtain authorization from the Registrant or Administrative Contact in order to properly process the transfer of domain name sponsorship from one Registrar to another.

1.5 Gaining Registrar

     The Registrar that submitted to the Registry the request for the transfer of a domain sponsorship from the Registrar of Record.

1.6 Registrar of Record

     The Registrar of Record for a domain name for which the Registry received a transfer of sponsorship request.

1.7 Registrant

     The Registrant is the individual or organization that registers a specific domain name. This individual or organization holds the right to use that specific domain name for a specified period of time, provided certain conditions are met and the registration fees are paid. This person or organization is the "legal entity" bound by the terms of the relevant service agreement with the Registry operator for the TLD in question.

1.8 Registry (Registry Operator)

     The organization authorized by ICANN to provide registration services for a given TLD to ICANN-accredited Registrars.

1.9 Supplemental Rules

     The Supplemental Rules shall mean those rules adopted by the Registry Operator, in the case of First Level disputes (as set forth below), or the Provider administering a proceeding (in the case of all other disputes) to supplement this Policy. Supplemental Rules shall be consistent with this Dispute Resolution Policy and shall cover topics such as fees, word and page limits and guidelines, the means for communicating with the Provider, and the form of cover sheets.

1.10 Transfer Policy

     The Policy on Transfer of Sponsorship of Registrations between Registrars which is in force as part of the Registry-Registrar Agreement executed between a Registrar and the Registry, as well as the Registrar Accreditation Agreement which is executed between ICANN and all ICANN- accredited registrars.

2. Dispute Resolution Process

     There are two possible steps to the Registrar Transfer Dispute Resolution Process. A Registrar may elect one or both of the steps pursuant to the rules below. In the event a Registrar either files a Request for Enforcement (as described below) with a Second-Level Dispute Provider, or files an Appeal (as described below) with a Dispute Provider, it may not revert to the First-Level Registry option later for the same filing or matter presented for resolution.

2.1 First Level - Registry Operator

     A Registrar may choose to file a dispute directly with the relevant Registry Operator. Any decisions made by the Registry Operator may be appealed to a Dispute Resolution Provider. A Registrar may file a dispute directly to a Dispute Resolution Provider; however, in that case the filing Registrar would forfeit any right to appeal the decision of the Dispute Resolution Provider.

2.2 Second-Level - Dispute Resolution Panel

     The primary intent of this step is to provide a means for registrars to appeal decisions made by the Registry at the first level of the dispute resolution process, but it may also be used as the first step if a registrar so elects. The decision of the Dispute Resolution Panel is final, except as it may be appealed to a court of competent jurisdiction.

2.3 Statute of Limitations

     A dispute must be filed no later than six (6) months after the alleged violation of the Transfer Policy. In the case where a Registrar of Record alleges that a transfer was in violation of this Policy, the date the transfer was completed shall be deemed the date in which the "alleged violation" took place. In the case where a Gaining Registrar alleges that a transfer should have taken place, the date in which the NACK (as defined below) was received by the Registry, shall be deemed the date in which the "alleged violation" took place.

3. Dispute Procedures at the First Level (Registry)

3.1 Registrar files a Request for Enforcement with the applicable Registry Operator

     3.1.1 Either the Gaining or Registrar of Record ("Filing Registrar") may submit a Request for Enforcement. This must be done in accordance with the Supplemental Rules adopted by the applicable Registry Operator.

           "<insert name of Filing Registrar> certifies that the information contained in this Request for Enforcement is to the best of Filing Registrar's knowledge complete and accurate, that this Request for Enforcement is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, and that the assertions in this Request for Enforcement are warranted under this Policy and under applicable law, as it now exists or as it may be extended by a good-faith and reasonable argument."3.1.3 The Request for Enforcement may relate to more than one domain name, provided that the domain names involve the same Filing Registrar and Respondent and that the claims arise out of the same or similar factual circumstances.

  (ii) For the Registrar of Record:
      a. Completed FOA from Registrar of Record if applicable
      b. Copy of the Whois output for the date the transfer was initiated
      c. Relevant history of Whois modifications made to the applicable registration
      d. Evidence of one of the following if a transfer was denied:

  • domain name within 60 days of a prior transfer.

      e. Copies of all communications made to the Gaining Registrar with regard to the applicable transfer request along with any responses from the Gaining Registrar.

3.2 The Non-Filing Registrar ("Respondent") shall have seven (7) calendar days from receipt of the Request for Enforcement to prepare a Response to the Request for Enforcement ("Response").

3.2.1 The Response shall be submitted in electronic form to both the Registry and Filing Registrar and shall:
      (i) Respond specifically to the statements and allegations contained in the Request for Enforcement (This portion of the response shall comply with any word or page limit set forth in the Dispute Resolution Provider's Supplemental Rules.);
      (ii) Provide the name, postal and e-mail addresses, and the telephone and fax numbers of the Respondent (non-filing Registrar);
      (iii) Identify any other legal proceedings that have been commenced or terminated in connection with or relating to any of the domain name(s) that are the subject of the Request for Enforcement;
      (iv) State that a copy of the Response has been sent or transmitted to the Filing Registrar;
      (v) Conclude with the following statement followed by the signature of the Respondent or its authorized representative:
   "Respondent certifies that the information contained in this Response is to the best of Respondent's knowledge complete and accurate, that this Response is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, and that the assertions in this Response are warranted under these Rules and under applicable law, as it now exists or as it may be extended by a good-faith and reasonable argument."; and
     (vi) Annex any documentary or other evidence upon which the Respondent relies, together with a schedule indexing such documents.

3.2.2 At the request of the Respondent, the Registry Operator may, in exceptional cases, extend the period of time for the filing of the response, but in no case may the extension be more than an additional five (5) calendar days. The period may also be extended by written stipulation between the Parties, provided the stipulation is approved by the Registry Operator.

3.2.3 If a Respondent does not submit a response, in the absence of exceptional circumstances, the Registry Operator shall decide the dispute based upon the Request for Enforcement.

3.3 Registry Operator must review all applicable documentation and compare registrant/contact data with that contained within the authoritative Whois database and reach a conclusion not later than 14 days after receipt of the Response.

3.3.1 If the data included in the Request for Enforcement does not match the data listed in the authoritative Whois, the Registry Operator must contact each Registrar and require additional documentation.

3.3.2 If the Gaining Registrar cannot provide a complete FOA with data matching that contained within the authoritative Whois database, then the Registry Operator shall find that the transfer should be reversed. In the case of a thick Registry, if the Registrar of Record's Whois is not accessible or invalid, the Registry Operator's Whois should be used. In the case of a thin Registry, if the Registrar of Record's Whois is not accessible or is invalid, the Registry Operator must notify ICANN and place the dispute on hold until such time as the specific problem is resolved by ICANN.

3.3.3 In the case where a Registrar of Record denies a request for a domain name transfer ("NACKs"), the Registrar of Record must provide evidence of one of the factors for which it is allowed to NACK. If the Registrar of Record cannot provide evidence that demonstrates any of the factors, and the Gaining Registrar provides to the Registry a complete FOA with data matching that contained within the authoritative Whois database, then the transfer must be approved to be processed.

3.3.4 If the data provided by neither Registrar appears to be conclusive, then the Registry shall issue a finding of "no decision." If the data provided to the Registry is complete and provides sufficient basis for a determination based on the Policy, the Registry may not issue a finding of "no decision." Either Registrar shall be able to appeal such issue to a Second-Level Dispute Resolution Provider in accordance with the provisions set forth below.

3.4 Fees for First-Level Dispute Resolution Service

3.4.1 There is no filing fee assessed to the Filing Registrar at the time the Request for Enforcement is submitted to the Registry Operator.

3.4.2 The Registrar that does not prevail in the dispute will be assessed a fee to be set by the Registry Operator. Such fee shall be set forth in the Registry's Supplemental Rules that are in effect at the time that the Request for Enforcement was filed.

3.4.3 This fee shall not be passed on to the Registrant.

3.4.4 This fee will be charged after a final decision is rendered by the Registry. In the case that the Registry issues a finding of "no decision," the Registry Operator shall collect the applicable fees from the Filing Registrar.

3.5 Availability of Court Proceedings

      The procedures set forth above shall not prevent a Registrar from submitting a dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction for independent resolution before such an administrative proceeding is commenced or after such proceeding is concluded. If a Registry Operator decides a domain name registration should be transferred (either to the Gaining Registrar, or alternatively, back from the Gaining Registrar to the Registrar of Record), the Registry will wait fourteen (14) calendar days after it is informed of the decision before implementing that decision. The Registry will then implement the decision unless it has received during that fourteen (14) calendar day period official documentation (such as a copy of a complaint, file-stamped by the clerk of the court) that a lawsuit has commenced with respect to the impacted domain name(s). If such documentation is received by the Registry Operator within the fourteen (14) calendar day period, the decision will not be implemented until (i) evidence is presented to the Registry Operator that the parties have resolved such dispute; (ii) evidence is presented to the Registry Operator that the lawsuit has been dismissed or withdrawn; or (iii) the Registry Operator receives a copy of an order from such court.

4. Dispute Procedures at the Second Level with a Dispute Resolution Provider

4.1 The services of the Dispute Resolution Panel may be invoked in any of the following two situations:

      (i) A Filing Registrar may elect to skip the First-Level dispute process at Registry level and submit a Request for Enforcement directly with a Dispute Resolution Provider;
      (ii) The non-prevailing Registrar in a First-Level dispute proceeding may submit an appeal of the applicable Registry Operator's decision to the Dispute Resolution Provider. Additionally, in the case where the result in the First-Level dispute process is a "no-decision," either Registrar may file an Appeal of such decision to a Dispute Resolution Provider.

4.2 Initial Request for Enforcement

4.2.1 In the event that the Filing Registrar elects to submit a Request for Enforcement to the Dispute Resolution Provider in lieu of submitting a Request for Enforcement to the applicable Registry Operator, the obligations and responsibilities set forth in Sections 3.1 through 3.2 above shall apply.

4.2.2 The Dispute Resolution Panel appointed by the Dispute Resolution Provider must review all applicable documentation and compare registrant/contact data with that contained within the authoritative Whois database and reach a conclusion not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of Response from the Respondent.
     (i) If the data does not match the data listed in authoritative Whois, the Dispute Resolution Panel should contact each Registrar and require additional documentation.
     (ii) If the Gaining Registrar is unable to provide a complete FOA with data matching that contained within the authoritative Whois database at the time of the transfer request, then the Dispute Resolution Panel shall find that the transfer should be reversed. In the case of a thick Registry, if the Registrar of Record's Whois is not accessible or invalid, the applicable Registry Operator's Whois should be used. In the case of a thin Registry, if the Registrar of Record's Whois is not accessible or is invalid, the Dispute Resolution Provider may place the dispute on hold until such time as the problem is resolved.
     (iii) In the case where a Registrar of Record NACKs a transfer, the Registrar of Record must provide evidence of one of the factors for which it is allowed to NACK as set forth in Section 3.1.4 (ii) of this Dispute Resolution Policy. If the Registrar of Record cannot provide evidence that demonstrates any of the factors, and the Gaining Registrar provides to the Dispute Resolution Provider a complete FOA with data matching that contained within the authoritative Whois database at the time of the transfer request, then the transfer should be approved.
     (iv) Unlike under the First-Level dispute process, the Dispute Resolution Panel may not issue a finding of "no decision." It must weigh the applicable evidence in light of the Transfer policies and determine, based on a preponderance of the evidence, which Registrar should prevail in the dispute and what resolution to the Request for Enforcement will appropriately redress the issues set forth in the Request for Enforcement.
     (v) Resolution options for the Dispute Resolution Panel are limited to the following:
  a. Approve Transfer
  b. Deny the Transfer (or ordering the domain name be returned to the Registrar of Record in cases where a Transfer has already occurred)

4.3 Appeal of First Level Dispute Decision or Registry Operator Finding of "No-Decision."

4.3.1 In the event that the Registrar which does not prevail in the First-Level dispute is dissatisfied by the Registry-Operator's decision, such Registrar may file an appeal with a Dispute Resolution Provider, provided that such appeal is filed no later than fourteen (14) calendar days after the date on which the First-Level decision was issued.

4.3.2 In the event that the Registry Operator issues a finding of "no-decision" in accordance with Section 3.3.4 above, either Registrar may file an appeal of such decision with a Dispute Resolution Provider, provided that such appeal is filed no later than fourteen (14) calendar days after the date on which the First-Level decision was issued.

4.3.3 In either case, the document submitted by the Registrar to the Dispute Resolution Provider shall be referred to as an "Appeal."

4.3.4 The Appellant shall submit the Appeal in electronic form and shall:
     (i) Request that the Appeal be submitted for decision in accordance with the Policy and these Rules;
     (ii) Provide the name, postal and e-mail addresses, and the telephone and telefax numbers of the Appellant and of any representative authorized by the Appellant to act on behalf of the Appellant in the administrative proceeding;
     (iii) Provide the name of the Appellee and all information (including any postal and e-mail addresses and telephone and telefax numbers) known to Appellee regarding how to contact Appellee or any representative of Appellee, including contact information based on pre-Request for Enforcement and pre-Appeal dealings;
     (iv) Specify the domain name(s) that is/are the subject of the Appeal;
     (v) Specify the incident(s) which gave rise to the dispute;
     (vi) State the basis for such appeal, including specific responses to the findings of the Registry Operator in the First-Level Dispute process. (This portion of the response shall comply with any word or page limit set forth in the Dispute Resolution Provider's Supplemental Rules);
     (vii) Specify, in accordance with the Policy, the remedies sought;
     (viii) Identify any other related legal proceedings known to the Appellant that have been commenced or terminated in connection with or relating to any of the domain name(s) that are the subject of the complaint;
      (ix) State that a copy of the Appeal, together with the cover sheet as prescribed by the Dispute Resolution Provider's Supplemental Rules, has been sent or transmitted to the Appellee; and
      (x) Conclude with the following statement followed by the signature of the Appellant or its authorized representative:
  "Appellant agrees that its claims and remedies concerning the registration of the domain name, the dispute, or the dispute's resolution shall be solely against the Appellee and waives all such claims and remedies against the Dispute Resolution Provider and the Registry Operator as well as their directors, officers, employees, and agents, except in the case of deliberate wrongdoing or gross negligence."
  "Appellant certifies that the information contained in this Appeal is to the best of Appellant's knowledge complete and accurate, that this Appeal is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, and that the assertions in this Appeal are warranted under this Policy and under applicable law, as it now exists or as it may be extended by a good-faith and reasonable argument."

4.3.5 The Appeal may relate to more than one domain name, provided that the domain names involve the same decision issued by the Registry Operator for the First-Level Dispute.4.3.6 The Appeal shall annex any documentary evidence that was not already submitted to the Registry Operator during the First-Level Dispute.

4.3.7 A Dispute Resolution Provider must request all documentation relating to the First-Level Dispute from the applicable Registry Operator no later than seven (7) calendar days of receipt of the appeal. The Registry Operator shall submit such documentation to the Dispute Resolution Provider within seven (7) days of such request.

4.3.8 The Dispute Resolution Panel must review all applicable documentation and reach a conclusion not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of the Appeal.
     (i) The Dispute Resolution Panel may submit questions to the Registry, the Appellant or Appellee.
     (ii) Responses to all such questions must be received by the Dispute Resolution Panel within 7 days.
     (iii) The Dispute Resolution Panel shall review each Appeal on a De Novo basis. Although the Dispute Resolution Panel is not bound by the findings of the Registry Operator in an Appeal, it shall have the discretion to consider such findings in reaching its own conclusions. The purpose of the Dispute Resolution Panel should be to make a determination as to whether the Appeal has merit based solely on the requirements of the current Transfer policy and determine the appropriate resolution to the issues presented.

  • Approval of a Transfer
  • Denial of the Transfer (or ordering the domain name be returned to the Registrar of Record in cases where a Transfer has already occurred)

4.4 Fees for Second-Level Dispute Resolution Service

4.4.1 In the case of either a Request for Enforcement or an Appeal filed at the Second Level, the applicable Dispute Resolution Provider shall determine the applicable filing fee ("Filing Fee"). The specific fees along with the terms and conditions governing the actual payment of such fees shall be included in the Dispute Resolution Provider's Supplemental Rules.

4.4.2 In the event that the Filing Registrar or Appellant, whichever applicable, does not prevail in a Second-Level dispute, the Filing Fees shall be retained by the Dispute Resolution Provider.

4.4.3 In the event that the Filing Registrar or Appellant, whichever applicable, prevails in a Second-Level dispute, the Respondent or Appellee, whichever applicable, must submit to the Dispute Resolution Provider, the Filing Fees within fourteen (14) calendar days after such decision. In such an event, the Dispute Resolution Provider shall refund to the Filing Registrar or Appellant, whichever applicable, the Filing Fees, no later than fourteen (14) calendar days after it receives the Filing Fees from the Respondent or Appellee. Such fees must be paid regardless of whether a Court Proceeding is commenced in accordance with Section 4.5 below. Failure to pay Filing Fees to the Dispute Resolution Provider may result in the loss of accreditation by ICANN.

4.5 Availability of Court Proceedings

     The procedures set forth above shall not prevent a Registrar from submitting a dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction for independent resolution before such administrative proceeding is commenced or after such proceeding is concluded. If a Dispute Resolution Panel decides a domain name registration should be transferred (either to the Gaining Registrar, or alternatively, back from the Gaining Registrar to the Registrar of Record), such Registrar will wait fourteen (14) calendar days after it is informed of the decision before implementing that decision. The Registry will then implement the decision unless it has received from either of the parties to the dispute during that fourteen (14) calendar day period official documentation (such as a copy of a complaint, file-stamped by the clerk of the court) that a lawsuit has commenced with respect to the impacted domain name(s). If such documentation is received by the Registry, as applicable, within the fourteen (14) calendar day period, the decision will not be implemented until (i) evidence is presented that the parties have resolved such dispute; (ii) evidence is presented that the lawsuit has been dismissed or withdrawn; or (iii) a copy of an order from such court dismissing the lawsuit or ordering certain actions with respect to the domain name.

 

]]> http://www.unionroom.cn/support/doc.php?IDDoc=802 Domain Transfer Policy Agreement www.nicenic.com Domain http://www.unionroom.cn/support/?IDCate=20 A. Holder-Authorized Transfers

1. Registrar Requirements

     Registered Name Holders must be able to transfer their domain name registrations between Registrars provided that the Gaining Registrar's transfer process meets the minimum standards of this policy and that such transfer is not prohibited by ICANN or Registry policies. Inter-Registrar domain name transfer processes must be clear and concise in order to avoid confusion. Further, Registrars should make reasonable efforts to inform Registered Name Holders of, and provide access to, the published documentation of the specific transfer process employed by the Registrars.

1.1 Transfer Authorities

     The Administrative Contact and the Registered Name Holder, as listed in the Losing Registrar's or applicable Registry's (where available) publicly accessible WHOIS service are the only parties that have the authority to approve or deny a transfer request to the Gaining Registrar. In the event of a dispute, the Registered Name Holder's authority supersedes that of the Administrative Contact.
Registrars may use Whois data from either the Registrar of Record or the relevant Registry for the purpose of verifying the authenticity of a transfer request; or from another data source as determined by a consensus policy.

2. Gaining Registrar Requirements

For each instance where a Registered Name Holder requests to transfer a domain name registration to a different Registrar, the Gaining Registrar shall:
      2.1 Obtain express authorization from either the Registered Name Holder or the Administrative Contact (hereafter, "Transfer Contact"). Hence, a transfer may only proceed if confirmation of the transfer is received by the Gaining Registrar from the Transfer Contact.

     2.1.1 The authorization must be made via a valid Standardized Form of Authorization (FOA). There are two different FOA's available at the ICANN website. The FOA labeled "Initial Authorization for Registrar Transfer" must be used by the Gaining Registrar to request an authorization for a registrar transfer from the Transfer Contact. The FOA labeled "Confirmation of Registrar Transfer Request" may be used by the Registrar of Record to request confirmation of the transfer from the Transfer Contact.
The FOA shall be communicated in English, and any dispute arising out of a transfer request shall be conducted in the English language. Registrars may choose to communicate with the Transfer Contact in additional languages. However, Registrars choosing to exercise such option are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the translation into such additional non-English version of the FOA.

     2.1.2 In the event that the Gaining Registrar relies on a physical process to obtain this authorization, a paper copy of the FOA will suffice insofar as it has been signed by the Transfer Contact and further that it is accompanied by a physical copy of the Registrar of Record's Whois output for the domain name in question.

     2.1.2.1 If the Gaining Registrar relies on a physical authorization process, then the Gaining Registrar assumes the burden of obtaining reliable evidence of the identity of the Transfer Contact and maintaining appropriate records proving that such evidence was obtained. Further the Gaining Registrar also assumes the burden for ensuring that the entity making the request is indeed authorized to do so. The acceptable forms of physical identity are:

  • Notarized statement
  • Valid Drivers license
  • Passport
  • Article of Incorporation
  • Military ID
  • State/Government issued ID
  • Birth Certificate

     2.1.3 In the event that the Gaining Registrar relies on an electronic process to obtain this authorization the acceptable forms of identity would include:

  • Electronic signature in conformance with national legislation, in the location of the Gaining Registrar (if such legislation exists).
  • Consent from an individual or entity that has an email address matching the Transfer Contact email address. 

     The Registrar of Record may not deny a transfer request solely because it believes that the Gaining Registrar has not received the confirmation set forth above.
A transfer must not be allowed to proceed if no confirmation is received by the Gaining Registrar. The presumption in all cases will be that the Gaining Registrar has received and authenticated the transfer request made by a Transfer Contact.

     2.2 Request, by the transmission of a "transfer" command as specified in the Registrar Tool Kit, that the Registry Operator database be changed to reflect the new Registrar.

     2.2.1 Transmission of a "transfer" command constitutes a representation on the part of the Gaining Registrar that the requisite authorization has been obtained from the Transfer Contact listed in the authoritative Whois database.

     2.2.2 The Gaining Registrar is responsible for validating the Registered Name Holder requests to transfer domain names between Registrars. However, this does not preclude the Registrar of Record from exercising its option to independently confirm the Registered Name Holder's intent to transfer its domain name to the Gaining Registrar in accordance with Section 3 of this policy.

3. Obligations of the Registrar of Record

     A Registrar of Record can choose independently to confirm the intent of the Registered Name Holder when a notice of a pending transfer is received from the Registry. The Registrar of Record must do so in a manner consistent with the standards set forth in this agreement pertaining to Gaining Registrars. In order to ensure that the form of the request employed by the Registrar of Record is substantially administrative and informative in nature and clearly provided to the Transfer Contact for the purpose of verifying the intent of the Transfer Contact, the Registrar of Record must use the FOA.

     The FOA shall be communicated in English, and any dispute arising out of a transfer request, shall be conducted in the English language. Registrars may choose to communicate with the Transfer Contact in additional languages. However, the Registrar choosing to exercise such option is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the translation into such additional non-English version of the FOA. Further, such non-English communications must follow the processes and procedures set forth in this policy. This includes but is not limited to the requirement that no Registrar shall add any additional information to the FOA used to obtain the consent of the Transfer Contact in the case of a transfer request.
This requirement does not preclude the Registrar of Record from marketing to its existing customers through separate communications.
The FOA should be sent by the Registrar of Record to the Transfer Contact as soon as operationally possible, but must be sent not later than twenty-four (24) hours after receiving the transfer request from the Registry Operator.Failure by the Registrar of Record to respond within five (5) calendar days to a notification from the Registry regarding a transfer request will result in a default "approval" of the transfer.

     In the event that a Transfer Contact listed in the Whois has not confirmed their request to transfer with the Registrar of Record and the Registrar of Record has not explicitly denied the transfer request, the default action will be that the Registrar of Record must allow the transfer to proceed.
Upon denying a transfer request for any of the following reasons, the Registrar of Record must provide the Registered Name Holder and the potential Gaining Registrar with the reason for denial. The Registrar of Record may deny a transfer request only in the following specific instances:

  1. Evidence of fraud
  2. UDRP action
  3. Court order by a court of competent jurisdiction
  4. Reasonable dispute over the identity of the Registered Name Holder or Administrative Contact
  5. No payment for previous registration period (including credit card charge-backs) if the domain name is past its expiration date or for previous or current registration periods if the domain name has not yet expired. In all such cases, however, the domain name must be put into "Registrar Hold" status by the Registrar of Record prior to the denial of transfer.
  6. Express written objection to the transfer from the Transfer Contact. (e.g. - email, fax, paper document or other processes by which the Transfer Contact has expressly and voluntarily objected through opt-in means)
  7. A domain name was already in “l(fā)ock status” provided that the Registrar provides a readily accessible and reasonable means for the Registered Name Holder to remove the lock status.
  8. A domain name is in the first 60 days of an initial registration period.
  9. A domain name is within 60 days (or a lesser period to be determined) after being transferred (apart from being transferred back to the original Registrar in cases where both Registrars so agree and/or where a decision in the dispute resolution process so directs).

Instances when the requested change of Registrar may not be denied include, but are not limited to:

  • Nonpayment for a pending or future registration period
  • No response from the Registered Name Holder or Administrative Contact.
  • Domain name in Registrar Lock Status, unless the Registered Name Holder is provided with the reasonable opportunity and ability to unlock the domain name prior to the Transfer Request.
  • Domain name registration period time constraints, other than during the first 60 days of initial registration or during the first 60 days after a registrar transfer.
  • General payment defaults between Registrar and business partners / affiliates in cases where the Registered Name Holder for the domain in question has paid for the registration.

     The Registrar of Record has other mechanisms available to collect payment from the Registered Name Holder that are independent from the Transfer process. Hence, in the event of a dispute over payment, the Registrar of Record must not employ transfer processes as a mechanism to secure payment for services from a Registered Name Holder. Exceptions to this requirement are as follows:
     (i) In the case of non-payment for previous registration period(s) if the transfer is requested after the expiration date, or
     (ii) In the case of non-payment of the current registration period, if transfer is requested before the expiration date.

4. Registrar Coordination

     Each Registrar is responsible for keeping copies of documentation, including the FOA and the Transfer Contacts response thereto, that may be required for filing and supporting a dispute under the dispute resolution policy. Gaining Registrars must maintain copies of the FOA as received from the Transfer Contact as per the standard document retention policies of the contracts. Copies of the reliable evidence of identity must be kept with the FOA.

     Both the Gaining Registrar and the Registrar of Record must provide the evidence relied on for the transfer during and after the applicable inter-registrar domain name transaction(s). Such information must be provided when requested by, and only by, the other Registrar that is party to the transfer transaction. Additionally, ICANN, the Registry Operator, a court or authority with jurisdiction over the matter or a third party dispute resolution panel may also require such information within five (5) days of the request.

     The Gaining Registrar must retain, and produce pursuant to a request by a Losing Registrar, a written or electronic copy of the FOA. In instances where the Registrar of Record has requested copies of the FOA, the Gaining Registrar must fulfill the Registrar of Records request (including providing the attendant supporting documentation) within five (5) calendar days. Failure to provide this documentation within the time period specified is grounds for reversal by the Registry Operator or the Dispute Resolution Panel in the event that a transfer complaint is filed in accordance with the requirements of this policy.

     If either a Registrar of Record or a Gaining Registrar does not believe that a transfer request was handled in accordance with the provisions of this policy, then the Registrar may initiate a dispute resolution procedure as set forth in Section C of this policy.

     For purposes of facilitating transfer requests, Registrars should provide and maintain a unique and private email address for use only by other Registrars and the Registry:
     i. This email address is for issue related to transfer requests and the procedures set forth in this policy only.
     ii. The email address should be managed to ensure messages are received by someone who can respond to the transfer issue.
     iii. Messages received at such email address must be responded to within a commercial reasonable timeframe not to exceed seven (7) calendar days.

5. EPP - based Registry Requirements for Registrars

     In EPP-based gTLD Registries, Registrars must follow the requirements set forth below.
Registrars must provide the Registered Name Holder with the unique "AuthInfo" code within five (5) calendar days of the Registered Name Holder's initial request if the Registrar does not provide facilities for the Registered Name Holder to generate and manage their own unique "AuthInfo" code.

     Registrars may not employ any mechanism for complying with a Registered Name Holder's request to obtain the applicable "AuthInfo Code" that is more restrictive than the mechanisms used for changing any aspect of the Registered Name Holder's contact or name server information.

     The Registrar of Record must not refuse to release an "AuthInfo Code" to the Registered Name Holder solely because there is a dispute between the Registered Name Holder and the Registrar over payment.

Registrar-generated "AuthInfo" codes must be unique on a per-domain basis.
     The "Auth-Info" codes must be used solely to identify a Registered Name Holder, whereas the FOA's still need to be used for authorization or confirmation of a transfer request, as described in Section 2 and Section 4 of this policy.

6. Registry Requirements

     Upon receipt of the "transfer" command from the Gaining Registrar, Registry Operator will transmit an electronic notification to both Registrars. In the case of those Registries that use electronic mail notifications, the response notification may be sent to the unique email address established by each Registrar for the purpose of facilitating transfers.

     The Registry Operator shall complete the requested transfer unless, within five (5) calendar days, Registry Operator receives a NACK protocol command from the Registrar of Record.
When the Registry's database has been updated to reflect the change to the Gaining Registrar, Registry Operator will transmit an electronic notification to both Registrars. The notification may be sent to       the unique email address established by each Registrar for the purpose of facilitating transfers or such other email address agreed to by the parties.
The Registry Operator shall undo a transfer if, after a transfer has occurred, the Registry Operator receives one of the notices as set forth below. In such case, the transfer will be reversed and the domain name reset to its original state. The Registry Operator must undo the transfer within five (5) calendar days of receipt of the notice except in the case of a Registry dispute decision, in which case the Registry Operator must undo the transfer within fourteen calendar days unless a court action is filed. The notice required shall be one of the following:
     i. Agreement of the Registrar of Record and the Gaining Registrar sent by email, letter or fax that the transfer was made by mistake or was otherwise not in accordance with the procedures set forth in this policy;
     ii. The final determination of a dispute resolution body having jurisdiction over the transfer; or
     iii. Order of a court having jurisdiction over the transfer.

7. Records of Registration

     Each Registrar shall require its customer, the Registered Name Holder, to maintain its own records appropriate to document and prove the initial domain name registration date.

8. Effect on Term of Registration

     The completion by Registry Operator of a holder-authorized transfer under this Part A shall result in a one-year extension of the existing registration, provided that in no event shall the total unexpired term of a registration exceed ten (10) years.

B. ICANN-Approved Transfers

     Transfer of the sponsorship of all the registrations sponsored by one Registrar as the result of (i) acquisition of that Registrar or its assets by another Registrar, or (ii) lack of accreditation of that Registrar or lack of its authorization with the Registry Operator, may be made according to the following procedure:
     (a) The gaining Registrar must be accredited by ICANN for the Registry TLD and must have in effect a Registry-Registrar Agreement with Registry Operator for the Registry TLD.
     (b) ICANN must certify in writing to Registry Operator that the transfer would promote the community interest, such as the interest in stability that may be threatened by the actual or imminent business failure of a Registrar.
Upon satisfaction of these two conditions, Registry Operator will make the necessary one-time changes in the Registry database for no charge, for transfers involving 50,000 name registrations or fewer. If the transfer involves registrations of more than 50,000 names, Registry Operator will charge the gaining Registrar a one-time flat fee of US$ 50,000.

C. Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy

     Procedures for handling disputes concerning inter-registrar transfers are set forth in the Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy. Procedures in this policy must be followed by the applicable Registry Operators and ICANN accredited Registrars.

2. Getting To Know Our Customers

NiceNIC is in the business of putting people in touch with other people. That requires more than simply offering innovative technical services. It also requires that we understand you, our customer, and your needs. Indeed, we strive to become the most user friendly domain name registrar by taking the time to get acquainted with each one of our many customers.
We get to know you primarily through the information you provide to us when signing up for, or using, one or more of our services. The information you provide ranges from basic contact information, to payment information, to the technical coordinates of your host servers. All of the information we request from you when purchasing our services is obligatory unless otherwise noted on the relevant form. When you purchase our services, you agree to provide and maintain accurate, complete and updated information.
After you've signed up for our services, we may be in communication with you about your account, technical questions you may have about services provided by us, or any other matter relating to those services. Those communications are essential to our relationship with you and to our ability to provide you with quality services that are responsive to your needs. At the same time, those communications give us helpful insights about you, your preferences and the ways in which we might improve our services. We therefore may maintain this information for future use.
Additionally, for operational and quality assurance purposes, we take note of whether and how you use the information and services that we provide, such as by recording site traffic patterns and by maintaining log files of users' access to site files. Finally, in order to provide our current and upcoming interactive services, such as but not limited to email, domain parking, and various message boards, we store your messages to or from other people.
The information we receive from or about you is stored on systems designed to prevent the loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction of that information. We also encrypt your transmission of sensitive information to us (e.g., credit card numbers, account passwords) in the interest of heightened privacy protection and information integrity.
As a domain name registrar, we compile and maintain a publicly accessible registration database that includes basic information about each domain name registered with us, including the names, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses of individuals designated as points of contact for a given domain name. Whether or not applicable domain name registration fees have been paid is also publicly accessible. With the gradual continued privatization of the Domain Name System, and consistent with the rules or policies applicable to that system, or to comply with any changes in law or regulation, we may, if appropriate, take steps to restrict the accessibility and amount of personally identifying information available in the registration database.

3. Information Corrections Or Changes

You have the ability to correct or change certain information in our records, such as your address and contact information. You may change this information at any time and as often as necessary. If you need assistance or have questions about correcting information, you can contact us via e-mail.

4. How We Put Information To Good Use


We use information about you for purposes of monitoring and improving our internal operations, as well as to ensure that we: (i) bill you properly, (ii) administer your account in accordance with your agreements with us and (iii) properly perform the services you have requested.
We also use the information we collect to monitor and improve our internal operations, as well as to improve the experience of users in our network of sites. For example, we may correlate Web site traffic information with data about individual users. We may also break down overall usage statistics according to customers' domain names, browser types, and MIME types by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every user's browser).
Another example of our use of information to enhance the experience of users in our network of sites is our reliance on cookie files. We use cookie files to make it easier for users to access our site or services. A cookie file is a small data file that certain Web sites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you've visited. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. We use cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above) when you register for NiceNIC services. When you register, we may use a cookie to store a unique, random user ID. We use this ID to identify you anonymously in our database and to track the pages you visit on our site.
If you've set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You may refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser; however, some of our sites may require a cookie for access.
Finally, we use the information we collect to direct important notices and information affecting your account or services, as well as to provide general information that may be of interest to you, including newsletters, surveys, contest and sweepstake announcements, and information about our service or product offerings or the offerings of our business affiliates. You may opt out of receiving information from us simply by notifying us of your desire in accordance with the opt-out instructions contained in any information message you receive from us. Note, however, that in order to fulfill our service obligations to you, we must continue sending you notices and other important information affecting your account or services.

5. With Whom We May Share Information

When you register or reserve a domain name through us, our registrar unit must disclose your domain name and its associated Internet Protocol ("IP") numbers to the appropriate registry in order to make your chosen domain name a functional address on the Internet. Our registry unit discloses each registered domain name and its associated IP numbers ("TLD zone files") to TLD server administrators for the purpose of ensuring that the domain name operates as a functional address on the Internet. Consistent with the current rules and policies for the Domain Name System, our registry unit also discloses the TLD zone files to other interested persons, provided those persons agree, among other things, not to use the TLD zone files for improper purposes, including the transmission of unsolicited commercial e-mail.
We may share certain information about you with those of our vendors who are responsible for handling your account or performing other necessary services that you require. Although we may share sensitive financial information (i.e., credit card numbers, banking information), security information (e.g., account passwords) and personal communications (e.g., personal e-mail messages or message board postings) with such vendors where necessary and appropriate, we will not share such information with other third parties, except in response to formal requests (e.g., subpoena or court order) made in connection with litigation or arbitration proceedings directly relating to a domain name registration or other services we provide.
As noted above, our domain name registrar unit currently makes certain information about you available to the general public via our domain name registration database look- up and directory services. These services give users access to such data on a query-by- query basis. Qualified persons may also access such data on a bulk basis provided they agree, among other things, not to use the data to enable or otherwise support the transmission of mass unsolicited commercial advertising or solicitations via email; or (ii) sell or redistribute the data to third parties. Include the words ìremove bulk access? in the subject line of the e-mail and all the domain names for which you are the registrant in the body of the e-mail.
Additionally, we may share the information stored on that database, as well as other information that is not of a sensitive nature, with carefully selected business partners, including those who offer services that complement those provided by us or which may otherwise be of interest to you. Include the words "remove domain" in the subject line of the e-mail and all the domain names for which you are the registrant in the body of the e-mail. Please note, however, that, consistent with the current rules and policies for the Domain Name System, information about you must remain available in the publicly accessible registration database.

6. Our Accountability To You

By purchasing our services, you obtain the protections of, and consent to the data processing practices described in, this Privacy Policy. When you purchase our services, you also represent to us that you have provided notice to, and obtained consent from, any third party individuals whose personal data you supply to us with regard to: (i) the purposes for which such third party's personal data have been collected, (ii) the intended recipients or categories of recipients of the third party's personal data, (iii) which of the third party's data are obligatory and which data, if any, are voluntary, and (iv) how the third party can access and, if necessary, rectify the data held about them.
In addition to the privacy protections that we provide, our employees, agents and business partners are independently responsible for ensuring compliance with this Privacy Policy, as described below.

7. Employee Accountability

Only those NiceNIC employees that have a legitimate business purpose for accessing and handling personal information obtained by us are given authorization to do so. The unauthorized access or use of such information by a NiceNIC employee is prohibited and constitutes grounds for disciplinary action.
Additionally, our information management systems are configured in such a way as to block or inhibit employees from accessing information that they have no authority to access.
Our trusted vendors and business partners are responsible for processing or handling some of the information that we receive. These vendors and business partners are not authorized to use such information for purposes beyond those specified by us and are required to preserve the confidentiality with which we treat such information.
