Domain Privacy Service Terms & Conditions
The following terms and conditions (" Domain Privacy Conditions") are supplemental to the General
Conditions and shall apply if You subscribe to the Privacy Service:
- THE PRIVACY SERVICE:
- Subject to clause 1.4 when You subscribe a Requested Domain to Our Privacy Service You
designate that Identity Protection Limited ("We", "Us", "Our") will thereafter be registered as the holder of
the Requested Domain
("Registrant").
- Subject to clauses 1.4 and 3, for each Requested Domain You subscribe to the Privacy
Service, We shall keep Your name, postal address, email address, phone and fax numbers
confidential.
- Subject to clause 1.4 when We become the Registrant of a Requested Domain, the
following
information will be publicly available in the Whois for the Requested Domain:
- Our Registered postal Address and contact details will be listed as the
Registrant, Technical, Administrative and Billing Contacts;
- A unique and private email address ("Privacy Email") will be used for all
contacts and all email delivered to this address will be forwarded to the
original contact;

Requested Domain;
- the Requested Domain's original date of registration and Expiration Date; and
- Us as the commercial entity, accredited by the Registry, to manage the
reservation of Requested Domain in accordance with the guidelines of the
Requested Domain Registry
- The UK Registry, Nominet, does not allow Us to use Our name as the Registrant of Domain
Names electronically, without affecting a change in ownership directly at the UK
Registry. When subscribing to the Privacy Service for a UK Domain Name We will use
Nominet's Whois Opt-Out service
which means that only the Whois "Registrant" field will remain unchanged and continue to
be publicly displayed
- You will retain the full benefits of the Requested Domain and may cancel the Privacy
Service for each Requested Domain at any time and You will then become the Registrant
and Your details will show in the Whois.

contact;

each Requested Domain; and

email address from your unique Privacy Email correspondence We receive
that is either addressed to or
involves a Requested Domain, as detailed in clause 3 below.
- SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION OF PRIVACY SERVICE:
- You acknowledge and agree that We have the absolute right, in Our sole discretion and
without any liability to You whatsoever, to suspend or cancel the Privacy Service for
each subscribed Requested Domain, such that You will then become the Registrant of the
Requested Domain with all applicable information then showing in the Whois, in certain
circumstances, including but not limited to the following:

procedures; or

illegal, illicit, morally objectionable or harmful activities; or
- to protect the integrity and stability of the applicable Requested Domain
Registry; or

- to avoid any financial loss or legal liability (civil or criminal) on the part
of Us, Our parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, shareholders, agents,

- if the Requested Domain We register on Your behalf violates or infringes a third
party's trademark, trade name or other legal rights.

notice of claim in relation to legal proceedings or in relation to the UDRP or Dispute
Resolution Policy, the subject matter of which is a Requested Domain or which relates to

You further authorize Us to either discard all such communications or return all
such communications
to sender unopened.
- You agree to waive any and all claims arising from Your failure to receive
communications directed to Your Requested Domain but not forwarded to You by Us.
