Domain Name Registration Agreement

IN THIS REGISTRATION AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), “Registrant”, "you" and "your" refers to the Registrant of each domain name registration, "we", “us" and "our" refers to Tucows.com Co., and “Services” refers to the domain name registration services provided by us as offered through TulsaConnect, LLC, the Registration Service Provider (“Reseller”). Any reference to a “registry,” “Registry” or “Registry Operator” shall refer to the registry administrator of the applicable TLD or ccTLD. This Agreement explains our obligations to you, and explains your obligations to us for the Services. By agreeing to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, you are also agreeing to be bound by the rules and regulations set forth by a registry for that particular registry only.
SELECTION OF A DOMAIN NAME. You acknowledge and agree that we cannot guarantee that you will obtain a desired domain name registration, even if an inquiry indicates that a domain name is available at the time of your application for same. You represent that, to the best of the your knowledge and belief, neither the registration of the domain name nor the manner in which it is directly or indirectly to be used, infringes upon the legal rights of a third party and further, that the domain name is not being registered for nor shall it at any time whatsoever be used for any unlawful purpose. During the period following registration of a domain name and the appointment of active name servers, we may post a stagnant web page and any revenues generated from same shall be for our own account.
FEES. As consideration for the Services, you agree to pay Reseller the applicable service(s) fees prior to the effectiveness of a desired domain name registration or any renewal thereof. All fees payable hereunder are non-refundable even if your domain name registration is suspended, cancelled or transferred prior to the end of your current registration term. As further consideration for the Services, you agree to: (1) provide certain current, complete and accurate information about you as required by the registration process, and (2) maintain and update this information as needed to keep it current, complete and accurate. All such information shall be referred to as account information ("Account Information"). You represent that the Account Information and all other statements put forth in your application are true, complete and accurate. Both Tucows and each registry reserves the right to terminate your domain name registration if: (i) information provided by you or your agent is false, inaccurate, incomplete, unreliable, misleading or otherwise secretive; or (ii) you have failed to maintain, update and keep your Account Information true, current, complete, accurate and reliable. You acknowledge that a breach of this Section 3 will constitute a material breach of our Agreement, which will entitle either us or a registry to terminate this Agreement immediately upon such breach without any refund and without notice to you.
TERM. This Agreement will remain in effect during the term of your domain name registration as selected, recorded and paid for at the time of registration or any renewal thereof. Should the domain name be transferred to another registrar, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall cease.
MODIFICATIONS TO AGREEMENT. You acknowledge that the practice of registering and administering domain names is constantly evolving; therefore, you agree that Tucows may modify this Agreement, or any other related and/or applicable agreement, as is necessary to comply with its agreements with ICANN, a registry or any other entity or individual, as well as to adjust to changing circumstances. All amendments to this Agreement will be posted on our website. Your continued use of the domain name registered to you will constitute your acceptance of this Agreement with any revisions. If you do not agree to any change, you may request that your domain name registration be cancelled or transferred to a different accredited registrar. You agree that such cancellation or request for transfer will be your exclusive remedy if you do not wish to abide by any change to this Agreement, or any other related and/or applicable agreement.
MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR ACCOUNT. In order to change any of your account information with us, you must use the Account Identifier and Password that you selected when you opened your account with us. You agree to safeguard your Account Identifier and Password from any unauthorized use. In no event shall we be liable for the unauthorized use or misuse of your Account Identifier or Password.
NO GUARANTY. You acknowledge that registration or reservation of your chosen domain name does not confer immunity from objection to the registration, reservation or use of the domain name.
DOMAIN NAME DISPUTES. You agree that, if the registration or reservation of your domain name is challenged by a third party, you will be subject to the provisions specified in the dispute policy adopted by the applicable registry. You agree that in the event a domain name dispute arises with any third party, you will indemnify and hold us harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the applicable policy. If Tucows is notified that a complaint has been filed with a judicial or administrative body regarding your domain name, Tucows may, at its sole discretion, suspend your ability to use your domain name or to make modifications to your registration records until (i) Tucows is directed to do so by the judicial or administrative body, or (ii) Tucows receives notification by you and the other party contesting your domain that the dispute has been settled. Furthermore, you agree that if you are subject to litigation regarding your registration or use of your domain name, Tucows may deposit control of your registration record into the registry of the judicial body by supplying a party with a registrar certificate from us.
POLICY. You agree that your registration of the domain name shall be subject to suspension, cancellation, or transfer pursuant to a Tucows, registry, ICANN or government-adopted policy, or pursuant to any registrar or registry procedure not inconsistent with a Tucows, registry, ICANN or government-adopted policy, (1) to correct mistakes by us or a registry in registering the name or (2) for the resolution of disputes concerning the domain name.
AGENCY. Should you intend to license use of a domain name to a third party you shall nonetheless be the domain name holder of record and are therefore responsible for providing your own full contact information and for providing and updating accurate technical and administrative contact information adequate to facilitate timely resolution of any problems that arise in connection with the domain name. You shall accept liability for harm caused by wrongful use of the domain name. You represent that you will secure the agreement of any third party to the terms and conditions in this Agreement.
ANNOUNCEMENTS. We reserve the right to distribute information to you that is pertinent to the quality or operation of our services and those of our service partners. These announcements will be predominately informative in nature and may include notices describing changes, upgrades, new products or other information to add security or to enhance your identity on the Internet.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. You agree that our entire liability, and your exclusive remedy, with respect to any Services(s) provided under this Agreement and any breach of this Agreement is solely limited to the amount you paid for the initial registration of your domain name. Tucows and its directors, employees, affiliates, subsidiaries, agents and third party providers, ICANN and the applicable registries shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages resulting from the use or inability to use any of the Services or for the cost of procurement of substitute services. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states, our liability is limited to the extent permitted by law. We disclaim any and all loss or liability resulting from, but not limited to: (1) loss or liability resulting from access delays or access interruptions; (2) loss or liability resulting from data non-delivery or data mis-delivery; (3) loss or liability resulting from acts of God; (4) loss or liability resulting from the unauthorized use or misuse of your account identifier or password; (5) loss or liability resulting from errors, omissions, or misstatements in any and all information or services(s) provided under this Agreement; (6) loss or liability resulting from the interruption of your Service. You agree that we will not be liable for any loss of registration and use of your domain name, or for interruption of business, or any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind (including lost profits) regardless of the form of action whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
INDEMNITY. You agree to release, indemnify, and hold Tucows, its contractors, agents, employees, officers, directors and affiliates, ICANN, the applicable registries and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates harmless from all liabilities, claims and expenses, including attorney's fees, of third parties arising out of or relating to the registration or use of the domain name registered in your name, whether used by yourself, licensed to a third party or pursuant to the Whois Privacy Service, including without limitation infringement by you or a third party with access to your Account Identifier and Password. You also agree to release, indemnify and hold us harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the applicable Dispute Policy. When we are threatened with suit by a third party, we may seek written assurances from you concerning your promise to indemnify us; your failure to provide those assurances may be considered by us to be a breach of your Agreement and may result in the suspension or cancellation of your domain name. This indemnification obligation will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP. The person named as Registrant on the Whois shall be the registered name holder. The person named as administrative contact at the time the controlling account identifier and password are secured shall be deemed the designate of the Registrant with the authority to manage the domain name. You agree that prior to transferring ownership of your domain name to another person (the “Transferee") you shall require the Transferee to agree, in writing to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If the Transferee fails to be bound in a reasonable fashion (as determine by us in our sole discretion) to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, any such transfer will be null and void.
RENEWALS AND FORFEITURE. Domain names are registered for a finite period of time. You will receive reminders immediately prior to the expiration of your registration inviting you to renew your domain name. In the event that you fail to renew your domain name in a timely fashion, your registration will expire and we may, at our discretion, elect to assume the registration and may hold it for our own account, delete it or we may sell it to a third party. You acknowledge and agree that your right and interest in a domain name ceases upon its expiration and that any expired domain name may be made available for registration by a third party.
If you fail to renew your registration, your domain name may cease to resolve and visitors to your site may be redirected to a default page informing them that the site is no longer in service. This parked or default page may feature advertisements posted by us for our own account.
If we have elected to renew the registration, you will be entitled to a grace period during which you may re-register the domain name from us. Additional costs may apply. During this grace period, we may post a parked page and/or may revise the “Whois” registration records to include either our information or that of your Reseller. The domain name may also be listed for auction. If the name is sold during any such auction, it will be acquired by a third party on a provisional basis and will remain available for re-registration by you during our stated grace period. If you do not re-register the domain name during the grace period, the auction sale will be concluded.
If you fail to renew your domain name registration during the grace period, you acknowledge that you have abandoned the domain name and that it is available for sale and registration by any third party.
BREACH. You agree that failure to abide by any provision of this Agreement, any operating rule or policy or the Dispute Policy provided by us, may be considered by us to be a material breach and that we may provide a written notice, describing the breach, to you. If within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of such notice, you fail to provide evidence, which is reasonably satisfactory to us, that you have not breached your obligations under the Agreement, then we may delete the registration or reservation of your domain name. Any such breach by you shall not be deemed to be excused simply because we did not act earlier in response to that, or any other breach by you.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. You agree that your use of our Services is solely at your own risk. You agree that such Service(s) is provided on an "as is," "as available" basis. We expressly disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

NETWORK PRACTICES

General description

We provide High Speed Internet Service to business and residential customers. We provide the service over third-parties’ lines connecting to the Internet and third-parties’ lines connecting to end users. We also contract with one or more companies for certain network monitoring and management services. We monitor network and traffic patterns and make changes we deem necessary to manage and improve overall network performance. We use reasonable, nondiscriminatory, network management practices to improve overall network performance to ensure a high-quality online experience for all users. Our network management practices do not target any specific content, application, service, or device. As network management issues arise and as technology develops, we may employ additional or new network management practices. We will update these disclosures as necessary.

Related documents and disclosures

Use of our High Speed Internet Service is also governed by:

User Agreement, available at http://www.tulsaconnect.com/legal.php
Business DSL Overview, available at http://www.tulsaconnect.com/connectivity_services.php
Acceptable Use Policy, available at http://www.tulsaconnect.com/legal.php

Congestion management

We describe in this section network management practices used to address congestion on our network.

Network monitoring

We monitor our network for utilization trends. We receive regular reports showing changes in network traffic and congestion. We use this information to plan increases in bandwidth available, port additions, or additional connectivity to the Internet.

Types of traffic affected. Our congestion management practices potentially affect all network traffic, but do not target any specific content, application, service, or device.

Purposes of congestion management practices

The goal of our congestion management practices is to enable better network availability and speeds for all users. Our congestion management practices serve to:

Help us adapt and upgrade our network to maintain or improve network performance as demand for our High Speed Internet Service increases.
Help us adapt and upgrade our network to maintain or improve network performance as demand for higher bandwidth applications increases.
Help us indentify potential bandwidth abusers who use substantially disproportionate amounts of bandwidth.

Congestion management criteria

Network monitoring: Our network monitoring provides data to help us plan upgrades to our equipment, technology, and connectivity to the Internet. As demand for our High Speed Internet Service increases, and as demand for higher bandwidth applications increases, we monitor effects on performance and plan upgrades.

Effects on end user experience: Periods of high network demand may result in Internet traffic congestion. End users may experience reduced bandwidth availability or speed during these times.

Typical frequency of congestion: Congestion tends to occur during periods of peak demand for higher bandwidth applications. Generally, the frequency of congestion tends to increase during weekday business hours.

Application-Specific Practices

This section discloses any application-specific practices we use.

Management of specific protocols or protocol ports. To protect the security of our network and our customers, we block known hostile ports.
Modification of protocol fields. Not applicable.
Applications or classes of applications inhibited or favored. Not applicable.

Device Attachment Rules

This section addresses any limitations on attaching lawful devices to our network.

General restrictions. We provide our High Speed Internet Service over third-parties’ lines connecting to end users. We place no general restrictions on lawful devices that a customer may connect to the network, so long as the device is: (i) compatible with our network and the third party’s network; and (ii) does not harm our network, the third party’s network, or other users. Our High Speed Internet Service works with most types of PCs and laptops including Macs, and other Internet-compatible devices. If a wireless router is connected to our High Speed Internet Service, wireless Internet compatible devices including computers, tablets, smartphones, and other devices can connect to the network. If a customer or potential customer believes they have an unusual configuration, a customer can contact us and we will use reasonable efforts to help determine if there is a compatibility problem.

Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) equipment. To use our High Speed Internet Service delivered via DSL, a customer must have a DSL modem. The customer’s computer or other Internet-enabled device is connected to the DSL modem through a NIC for a wired connection. Some DSL modems can also transmit a Wi-Fi signal for connecting wireless devices to the network. For DSL modems that do not transmit a Wi-Fi signal, a customer can attach a wireless router to the DSL modem for connecting wireless devices. Our technicians will assist in configuring supported routers or modems over the telephone, or you may bring the equipment to our offices and we will configure it.

Network and End User Security

This section provides a general description of the practices we use to maintain security of our network.

Practices used to ensure end user security, including triggering conditions

Hostile port blocking: We block known hostile ports to prevent unwanted files, browser hacking, and virus attacks.
Virus and spam filtering: We filter email traffic for virus activity and spam using industry standard virus scanning and prevention techniques. Should an e-mail message be found to contain a virus or other harmful content, the message will be deleted without notification given to either the sender or any intended recipient.

Practices used to ensure security of the network, including triggering conditions

Hostile port blocking: We block known hostile ports to prevent unwanted files, browser hacking, and virus attacks.
Virus and spam filtering: We offer email and personal web site hosting. We filter email traffic for virus activity and spam using industry standard virus scanning and prevention techniques.

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS

General Service Description

Our High Speed Internet Service enables commercial subscribers to access all lawful content, applications, and services of their choice available on the Internet.

Service technology

Our High Speed Internet Service is delivered using a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technology. Our DSL Internet service uses a third-party’s copper lines and a DSL compatible modem. The DSL modem connects to a customer’s computer or other Internet-enabled device through a Network Interface Card for a wired connection. Some DSL modems can also transmit a Wi-Fi signal for connecting wireless devices to the network. For DSL modems that do not transmit a Wi-Fi signal, a customer can attach a wireless router to the DSL modem for connecting wireless devices.

Expected and actual speeds and latency

Expected performance. We offer customers a variety of High Speed Internet Service levels. We provide a description of the expected maximum transfer speeds associated with each service level in our Business DSL Overview, available at www.tulsaconnect.com/connectivity_services.php.

Speed. The speeds we identify for each High Speed Internet Service level are the maximum upload and download speeds that customers are likely to experience. We provision our customers’ modems and engineer our network to deliver the speeds to which our customers subscribe. However, we do not guarantee that a customer will actually achieve those speeds at all times. A variety of factors can affect upload and download speeds, including customer equipment, network equipment, network congestion, performance issues with an Internet application, content, or service, and more.

Latency. Latency is another measurement of Internet performance. Latency is the time delay in transmitting or receiving packets on a network. Latency is primarily a function of the distance between two points of transmission, but also can be affected by the quality of the network or networks used in transmission. Latency is typically measured in milliseconds, and generally has no significant impact on typical everyday Internet usage. As latency varies based on any number of factors, most importantly the distance between a customer's computer and the ultimate Internet destination (as well as the number and variety of networks your packets cross), it is not possible to provide customers with a single figure that will define latency as part of a user experience.

Actual speed and latency performance. Actual speed and latency may vary depending upon network conditions and other factors. Because our High Speed Internet Service is provided over a third-party’s lines connecting to end users, actual performance depends on that party’s network. We have no control over actual speed and latency performance. Actual performance of our High Speed Internet Service in most cases will conform to national wireline broadband Internet speed and latency levels reported by the FCC. The FCC has reported that customers of DSL-based broadband Internet services receive mean download speeds that are within 84% of advertised speeds during peak hours, and 24-hour average speeds within 87% of advertised speeds. In addition, the FCC has reported that these same customers experience average latency of 43 milliseconds.

Suitability of the Service for Real-time Applications. Our High Speed Internet Service is suitable for typical real-time applications including messaging, voice applications, video chat applications, gaming, and Internet video. If users or developers have questions about particular real-time applications, please contact us at support@tulsaconnect.com.

Specialized Services

Specialized services offered to end users. We offer specialized services, sharing network capacity with other high-speed Internet services. Specialized services include data hosting.

Effects of specialized services on availability and performance of broadband Internet access service. Our specialized services have no effect on the availability and performance of our High Speed Internet Service.

COMMERCIAL TERMS

Prices. Pricing for our standard one-year terms is available at www.tulsaconnect.com/connectivity_services.php. For pricing of non-standard terms, please contact us at sales@tulsaconnect.com.

Usage-based fees. Not applicable.

Fees for early termination. We may charge early termination fees under certain circumstances. See User Agreement, available at www.tulsaconnect.com/legal.php.

Fees for additional network services. We offer a host of additional services to our commercial customers. You can find more information and pricing for these services at http://www.tulsaconnect.com

Privacy Policies

Inspection of network traffic. We routinely monitor network and traffic patterns.

Virus and Spam filtering: We filter e-mail traffic for virus activity and spam using industry standard virus scanning and prevention techniques. Should an e-mail message be found to contain a virus or other harmful content, the message will be deleted without notification given to either the sender or any intended recipient.

Storage of network traffic information: A static IP address is an address tied to a single account. Static IP addresses do not change. We maintain IP address information for each account until the account is deleted.

Provision of network traffic information to third parties: We do not disclose High Speed Internet Service customer or use information to third parties except: (i) as necessary to provide our High Speed Internet Service and to manage the network; or (ii) in response to law enforcement requests, court order, or as otherwise required or authorized by law.

Use of network traffic information for non-network management purposes: We do not use network traffic information for non-network management purposes.

Redress Options

Practices for resolving end-user and edge provider complaints and questions: End users or edge providers with complaints or questions relating to these disclosures should contact: support@tulsaconnect.com

Questions: We will endeavor to answer questions promptly via e-mail or telephone.

Complaints: We will provide an initial response in writing within 15 business days of receipt. We will attempt to resolve complaints informally, escalating the matter to senior management if needed.

DMCA Policy

Repeat Infringement Policy

As required by the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of 1998 (“Act”), MBO Data, L.L.C. d/b/a TulsaConnect has adopted a policy to address customer accounts involved in repeated copyright infringement. Our repeat infringer policy follows:
