property or other proprietary right of any third party or entity, or from the

to the terms and conditions contained in the Dispute Policy. When we are threatened

rule or policy or the Dispute Policy provided by us, may be considered a material
breach and we may provide written notice, describing the breach, to you. If
within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of such notice, you fail to provide
evidence, which is reasonably satisfactory to us, that you have not breached
your obligations under the Agreement, we may terminate the Service without further
notice. Any such breach by you shall not be deemed to be excused simply because
we did not act earlier in response to that, or any other breach by you.

confer immunity from objection by third parties to the registration, reservation,
or use of the domain name.

that you provided for those Services, or subsequently to modify it, contains
false or misleading information, or conceals or omits any information we would
likely consider material to our decision to provide the Service to you.

provide our Services within thirty (30) calendar days from receipt of your payment

any fee(s) paid by you. We shall not be liable to you for loss or damages that
may result from our refusal to provide those Services.

or unenforceable, that term or provision will be construed consistent with applicable
law as nearly as possible to reflect the original intentions of the parties,
and the remaining terms and provisions will remain in full force and effect.
NON-AGENCY. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Dispute Policy shall
be construed as creating any agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise
between the parties.
NON-WAIVER. Our failure to require performance by the Registrant of any provision
hereof shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any time
thereafter; nor shall the waiver by us of a breach of any provision hereof be
taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself.
