Effective Date: August 31, 2024
Last Modified Date: October 4, 2024

This Domain Registration Agreement (“Registration Agreement”) is between you, the person or entity registering a domain or domains, and Outcrop Communications Ltd.

Any revisions to this Registration Agreement will become effective (i) thirty (30) days after the notice of modification, addition or deletion has been posted or (ii) the first time you access or use the Services after such changes. If you do not agree to abide by this Registration Agreement, you are not authorized to use or access the Services.

You acknowledge and agree that Outcrop may modify this Registration Agreement with or without notice in order to comply with any terms and conditions set forth by Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (“ICANN”) and/or the applicable registry administrators (“Registry Administrators”) for the top level domains (“TLD”) or country code top-level domains (“ccTLD”).

Our Services

Your domain registration will be effective upon the occurrence of all of the following:

Outcrop disclaims, and you agree, that Outcrop is not liable for any inaccuracies regarding the registration information relating to (i) the input of the information by you; and (ii) the input of the information by the Registry Administrator. Outcrop will not be held liable, nor refund a domain name registration due to spelling errors/typos.

Multiple Domain Registrations

Fees

Payment of fees as a condition of domain registration. As consideration for the domain registration service provided by Outcrop, you agree to pay Outcrop, prior to the effectiveness of the desired domain registration, all registration and other applicable fees as indicated via the payment method selected at the time of registration. All fees are non-refundable, in whole or in part, even if your domain registration is suspended, canceled or transferred prior to the end of your then-current registration term. It is the responsibility of the listed registrant for the domain name to maintain records appropriate to document and prove the initial domain name registration date.

In the event of a charge-back to Outcrop by the credit card Outcrop (or similar action by another payment provider used by us) for the credit card used in connection with the payment of the registration or other fee, you agree and acknowledge that the domain registration shall be transferred to Outcrop, as the paying entity for that registration to the registry(ies) and that we reserve all rights regarding such domain including, without limitation, the right to make the domain available to other parties for purchase. Outcrop also reserves the right to lock your account and the remainder of your domains until we receive your payment of any administrative fees and/or chargeback fees. In Outcrop’s sole discretion, we may reinstate your domain registration, subject to Outcrop’s receipt of the registration fee and any administrative and/or chargeback fees described above.
  3. Credit card charge-backs for non-domain registration services.

Additionally, you acknowledge and agree that ICANN and the Registry Administrators may establish guidelines, limits and/or requirements that relate to the amount and type of information that Outcrop may or must make available to the public or to private entities, and the manner in which such information is made available. Further, you hereby consent to any and all such disclosures and use of, and guidelines, limits and restrictions on disclosure or use of, information provided by you in connection with the registration of a domain (including any updates to such information), whether during or after the term of your registration of the domain.

You further agree that your failure to respond within ten (10) days to any inquiry by Outcrop concerning the accuracy of the Registration Information or to contact Outcrop immediately upon discovery of any willful inaccuracy (including, e.g., phone number listed as 000-0000) associated with your domain registration shall constitute a material breach of this Registration Agreement and will be sufficient basis for cancellation of your domain registration. You further represent that you have obtained consent from any third-party individuals whose personal data you have provided as Registration Information.
  5. Information requirements for renewals. Upon renewal of your domain registration, the type of information you are required to provide may have changed. If you do not wish to provide the newly required information, your domain registration may not be renewed.

Outcrop agrees to implement reasonable measures to protect your personal registration information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
  7. Registrant Verification. You understand and agree that the Registrar is required to verify the Registered Name Holder’s email address within fifteen (15) days of any registration, transfer, or change to the Registered Name Holder’s contact information. The Domain Name Holder’s failure to verify the contact information within fifteen (15) days constitutes a material breach of this Registration Agreement and will result in the immediate suspension of the domain name(s) and associated service(s).

In addition, you understand and agree that the Registrar is required to verify any changes to any WHOIS contact information within fifteen (15) days of any change. The Domain Name Holder’s failure to verify such changes within fifteen (15) days constitutes a material breach of this Registration Agreement and will result in the immediate suspension of the domain name(s) and associated service(s).

Domain Parking

Upon registration, the domain may be automatically connected to name servers provided by Outcrop, so that Internet users that type in the domain will be redirected to a “coming soon” page (collectively, “parking a domain” or a “parked domain”). There is no charge for parking a domain. You hereby consent to and authorize Outcrop’s placement of a “coming soon” page, and its associated contents, on your parked domain. You may change the name server configuration (or “un-park” the domain) after the registration is complete. If you need to register name servers using the domains that you are currently registering, the names will initially be parked with Outcrop until you modify the name servers after the domain registration is complete, using Outcrop’s helpdesk.

  1. In the event your domain registration expires, your registration is no longer valid. If you are able to renew the domain name, you may update the domain to its original settings. After expiration, but prior to renewal, the domain may be pointed to an “expired” page (collectively, “parking a domain” or a “parked domain”). There is no charge for the parked domain. By not renewing the domain, Outcrop may place an “expired” page, and its associated contents, on the parked domain. You may change the name server configuration (or “un-park” the domain) after the renewal is complete. If you need to register name servers using the domains that you are currently renewing, the names will initially be parked with Outcrop until you modify the name servers after the domain renewal is complete, using Outcrop’s helpdesk.
  2. The “coming soon” and/or “expired” pages may contain advertisements and other materials selected by Outcrop, in Outcrop’s sole discretion. This may include but is not limited to third-party websites, third-party product and service offerings, and/or Internet search engines. Outcrop reserves the right to collect and retain all revenue obtained from such advertising and other materials.
  3. DNS Wildcard. Outcrop may insert wildcard DNS records to resolve subdomains of your domain that would not otherwise resolve. Outcrop may point those subdomains to a web page that may contain advertisements and other materials selected by Outcrop, at Outcrop’s sole discretion. This may include but is not limited to, third-party websites, third-party product and service offerings, and/or Internet search engines.

Registration Renewal

  1. Renewal obligations. You are solely responsible for ensuring that any and all domains and additional services are renewed prior to their expiration, should you so desire their renewal. You may renew your domain at any time before the expiration date. Outcrop shall have no liability to you or any third party in connection with the renewal, including, but not limited to, any failure or errors in renewing the services.
  2. Renewal Fees. You may be notified at Outcrop’s sole discretion when renewal fees are due. Should these fees go unpaid within the time specified in a notice or reminder regarding renewal, your registration will be canceled. Payment must be made by such other methods as we indicate in the renewal form. If your billing information is not accurate, you are solely responsible for the failure to renew.
  3. Auto Renewal. You agree that if you paid for any services provided hereunder by credit card or other payment services (such as PayPal), you hereby authorize but do NOT obligate, Outcrop to automatically charge your credit card or payment service account and renew the applicable service(s) on or before their renewal date using the credit card or other acceptable payment information you have provided to Outcrop, unless you notify Outcrop that you do not wish to participate in Outcrop’s automatic renewal process. Outcrop must receive notification of your intent to not renew (opt-out) no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the renewal date. In the absence of such notification from you, Outcrop will automatically renew, for a period of one (1) or two (2) years, as set forth by the applicable registry depending on the TLD or ccTLD of your domain name, any domain that is up for renewal and will charge the credit card or payment service account you have on file with Outcrop, at Outcrop’s then current rates. You are solely responsible for the credit card or other payment information you provide to Outcrop and must promptly inform Outcrop of any changes thereto (e.g., change of expiration date or account number). If the credit card or payment service account has expired or is otherwise invalid, you are solely responsible for a failure to renew and Outcrop shall not be liable for your failure.
  4. Expired domain names. You agree that we may place our contact information in the WHOIS output for any expired domain name, as the failure to renew results in the immediate cancellation of registration and loss of all rights to the domain name. Should you choose not to renew your domain name, you agree that we may, in our sole discretion, renew and transfer the domain name to a third party on your behalf as an Expired Domain Transfer (“ED Transfer”).
  5. New customers through domain auction or brokerage partners and/or ED Transfers. If you are registering a domain name that was registered with, and not yet deleted by, Outcrop at the time of your purchase, you acknowledge and agree that the term of your registration will be for a period of one year from the original expiration date for the domain name immediately prior to your purchase, as the registration is the result of an ED Transfer (defined above). You will not be compensated for the inability to use the domain from the time it expires until the time you are able to use the domain in your account. NOTE: You may not transfer your domain name to another Registrar for sixty (60) days from the date of any previous transfer.

Domain Dispute Resolution Policy

You agree to be bound by the appropriate domain dispute resolution policy (“Dispute Policy”) applicable to the domain that you have selected, including the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, which can be found here. The Dispute Policy has been developed by ICANN and/or the specific Registration Administrator(s) and is incorporated by reference in this Registration Agreement. Certain disputes are subject to the applicable Dispute Policy. In the event such a dispute arises, you agree that you will be subject to the provisions specified in the applicable Dispute Policy in effect at the time your domain registration is disputed by a third party. You further agree that in the event a domain dispute arises with any third party, you will indemnify and hold Outcrop harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the applicable Dispute Policy. The Dispute Policy may be modified at any time by ICANN or the applicable Registry Administrator, and your continued use of the domain registered to you after any such Dispute Policy modification shall constitute your acceptance of the modified Dispute Policy and this Registration Agreement. If you do not agree to any of such changes, you may request that your domain registration is canceled or transferred to a different domain registrar. For the adjudication of disputes concerning or arising from the use of the second level domain (“SLD”) name, the SLD holder shall submit, without prejudice to other potentially applicable jurisdictions, to the jurisdiction of the courts (1) of the SLD holder’s domicile and (2) where Registrar is located. In addition, you agree to the rules of ICANN’s Uniform Rapid Suspension (“URS”) and to submit to any proceedings commenced pursuant to the URS, if applicable.

Change of Registrant of Domains

  1. Change of Registrant. Effective December 1, 2016, for all gTLDs, any material changes to a domain name registrant’s name, company, email address, or to the administrative contact email address (if there is no registrant email address) are subject to ICANN’s Transfer Policy (available at https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/transfer-policy-2016-06-01-en).
  2. Denial of Change of Registrant. We are required to deny a change of registrant for any of the following reasons:
    • the domain name registration agreement has expired and the registrant no longer has the right to renew the domain name or to transfer the domain name to another registrar;
    • the change of registrant was not properly authorized by the Prior Registrant and the New Registrant; or
    • the domain name is subject to a domain name dispute proceeding, including, but not limited to, the following:
      1. Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP) (https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/help/dndr/udrp-en);
      2. Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS) (https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/urs-2014-01-09-en);
      3. Registrar Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy (https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/tdrp-2012-02-25-en);or
      4. a court order.
    • Unless a change of registrant is otherwise prohibited, the Prior Registrant and the New Registrant, or their Designated Agents, must confirm the change of registrant within sixty (60) days of the request.
    • Unless you opt out of the transfer lock when you request a change of registrant, you may not transfer your domain registration to another domain registrar for sixty (60) days following the change of registrant.
  3. Designated Agent. You hereby explicitly authorize us to act as “Designated Agent” to approve a change of registrant on behalf of the Prior Registrant and the New Registrant, consistent with and pursuant to the requirements of ICANN’s Transfer Policy.
  4. Transfer of registration to another registrant. The entity or person named as the “registrant” at the time the controlling user name and password are secured shall be the registrant of the domain. You agree that prior to the effectiveness of any transfer of ownership of your domain to another entity, Outcrop reserves the right to enforce any amount published for the transfer of ownership of a domain. You further agree that, as a condition of any such transfer of ownership of the domain, the party to which you seek to transfer your domain shall agree in writing (electronic acceptance is acceptable) to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Registration Agreement. Your domain will not be transferred until we receive such written assurances (or reasonable assurance as determined by Outcrop in its sole discretion) and actual payment of the transfer fee if any is imposed. You acknowledge and agree that if you attempt to transfer your domain registration without paying Outcrop the amount published for the transfer of ownership of a domain, or if the entity to which you seek to transfer your domain fails to agree in writing to be bound by all terms and conditions of this Registration Agreement, any such transfer will be null and void, and will result in your domain registration being revoked without a refund of any charges you have incurred in attempting to register or transfer that domain.
  5. Change reversal. When changing the name of registrant within Outcrop, you agree that at Outcrop’s discretion, the domain name may be changed back to the registrant listed immediately prior to the change upon written (email is acceptable) request within five (5) days (or such reasonable time as determined at Outcrop’s discretion) by registrant that was listed immediately prior to change or in the event of suspected fraud in connection with the change of the registrant name as determined by Outcrop in its sole discretion.
  6. Transfer of registration to or from another registrar. When transferring a domain name into Outcrop as the new registrar of record and simultaneously changing the name of registrant or subsequently changing the name of registrant, you agree that the domain name may be re-transferred back to the losing registrar upon written (email is acceptable) request by registrant that was listed immediately prior to transfer or upon request by losing registrar or in the event of suspected fraud in connection with the transfer as determined by Outcrop in its sole discretion. At the time of transfer into Outcrop, you must complete all required information requested through the online transfer application, i.e., contact information, nameserver information, etc. Outcrop may elect to accept or reject your domain name transfer application for any reason at its sole discretion. You are not entitled to any refund in relation to the domain name transferred to another registrar.
  7. Restrictions on Registrar Transfers. For generic top-level domains governed by ICANN, you agree that you may not transfer your domain registration to another domain registrar during the first sixty (60) days from the effective date of your: (1) initial domain registration or (2) completion of a domain transfer into Outcrop. If you choose to utilize our transfer lock service, you agree to provide written authorization (electronic acceptance is acceptable) to Outcrop for the transfer of the domain to another registrar and agree to pay any and all fees that may be charged by Outcrop to effect the transfer. You agree your request to transfer your domain to another registrar may be denied pursuant to the Transfer Policy (available here).
  8. Country-Code TLDs. For country-code top-level domains, as established by each registry, you agree that you may not transfer a domain to another registrar during the first sixty (60) days of the initial registration or after expiration of the domain. You agree your request to transfer your domain to another registrar may be denied pursuant to the Transfer Policy (available here).

Agents and Licensing

You agree that, if you are registering a domain and listing someone other than yourself as the registrant, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind the person or entity listed as registrant as a principal to this Registration Agreement, including the applicable Dispute Policy. The name listed as registrant of the domain or the appropriate officer of a listed Organization (at Outcrop’s discretion) may individually choose to move the domain into another account for full access to the domain, irrespective of wishes of agent/account owner/other listed contacts on that particular domain (e.g. admin, billing). Further, you agree that if you license the use of the domain registered to you to a third party, you nonetheless remain the domain holder of record, and remain responsible for strict compliance with this Registration Agreement, including but not limited to payment obligations, and providing (and updating, as necessary) accurate Registration Information and Additional Registration Information. Further, you accept liability for any actions of the licensee using the domain unless you promptly disclose the current contact information provided to you by the licensee and the identity of the licensee to any party providing reasonable evidence of actual harm.

Representations and Warranties

In the event that, in registering the domain, you are providing information related to a third party, you hereby represent and warrant that you have (a) provided notice to that third party of the disclosure and use of that party’s information as set forth in this Registration Agreement, and (b) that you have obtained that third party’s express consent to the disclosure and use of that party’s information as set forth in this Registration Agreement. You further represent that, to the best of your knowledge and belief, neither the registration of the domain nor the manner in which it is directly or indirectly used infringes the legal rights of a third party. You further represent and warrant that all information provided by you in connection with your domain registration is accurate.

Indemnification

  1. Indemnification of Outcrop. You will indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Outcrop and its subsidiary and parent entities, predecessors, successors, affiliates, and assigns, the Registry Administrators, and all of their respective current and former officers, directors, members, shareholders, agents, and employees (the “Indemnified Parties”) from any and all Claims. “Claim” means any action, cause of action, suit, proceeding, claim, or demand of any third party (and all resulting judgments, bona fide settlements, penalties, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs)), which arises out of: (a) your breach of this Registration Agreement or any of Outcrop’s policies applicable to this domain registration or related services, (b) the operation of your domain, (c) any negligent act or omission by you, or (d) any third party claim, action, or demand related to the registration or use of the domain registered in your name (and this indemnification is in addition to any indemnification required under the Dispute Policy). “Reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs” as used in this Section 12 includes without limitation fees and costs incurred to interpret or enforce this Section 12. Outcrop may, at its expense, employ separate counsel to monitor and participate in the defense of any Claim. Outcrop will provide you with reasonably prompt notice of any Claim.
  2. Indemnification of ICANN and Registry Operators.
