Exhibit A
Registration Agreement
Please note that
ParaFX.com provides domain registration and renewal services to clients through
a Registration Service Provider which is Tucows Domains Inc. As part of
ParaFX.com requirements for compliancy, you, as the registrant agree to the
following terms for your domain registration.
- 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 Domains Inc., and
"Services" refers to the domain name registration services provided by us as
offered through ____________PARAFX.com__________, the Registration
Service Provider ("Reseller"). Any reference to a "registry," "Registry" or
"Registry Operator" shall refer to the registry administrator of the
applicable top-level domain ("TLD"). 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, even if
an inquiry indicates that a domain name is available at the time of your
application. You represent that, to the best of the your knowledge and
belief, neither the registration of the domain name nor the manner in which
you intend to use it, 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 GUARANTEE. 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, unless
you promptly disclose the current contact information provided by the
licensee and the identity of the licensee to a party providing the
Registered Name Holder reasonable evidence of actionable harm. 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
and specifying the amount of time you have 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, in our sole discretion, have elected to renew the registration, you
will be entitled to a grace period of forty (40) days during which you may
re-register the domain name from us. Additional costs for the redemption and
re-registration will 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 also may be listed
for auction and promoted as being available for auction. If the name is sold
during any such auction, it will be acquired by a third party and will not
remain available for re-registration by you after our stated grace period.
If you do not re-register the domain name during the grace period, the
auction sale will be concluded and ownership of the domain transferred to a
third party.
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 fifteen (15) 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. We make no warranty that the
Services will meet your requirements, or that the Service(s) will be
uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error free; nor do we make any warranty as
to the results that may be obtained from the use of the Service(s) or as to
the accuracy or reliability of any information obtained through the Service
or that defects in the Service will be corrected. You understand and agree
that any material and/or data downloaded or otherwise obtained through the
use of Service is done at your own discretion and risk and that you will be
solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data
that results from the download of such material and/or data. We make no
warranty regarding any goods or services purchased or obtained through the
Service or any transactions entered into through the Service. No advice or
information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through the
Service shall create any warranty not expressly made herein.
- INFORMATION. As part of the registration process, you
are required to provide us certain information and to update us promptly as
such information changes such that our records are current, complete and
accurate. You are obliged to provide us the following information: (a) your
name, postal address, e-mail address, and voice and fax (if available)

request is collected in order that we can continue to improve the products
and services offered to you through your Reseller.

agree and acknowledge that we will make domain name registration information
you provide available to ICANN, to the registry administrators, law
enforcement agencies and to other third parties as applicable. You further
agree and acknowledge that we may make publicly available, or directly
available to third party vendors, some or all, of the domain name
registration information you provide, for purposes of inspection (such as
through our Whois service) or other purposes as required or permitted by
ICANN and applicable laws. (a) 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 name (including any updates to such information),

have arising from such disclosure or use of your domain name registration
information by us. (b) You may access your domain name registration

way incompatible with the purposes and other limitations which we describe
in this Agreement. (d) We will take reasonable precautions to protect the
information we obtain from you from our loss, misuse, unauthorized
disclosure, alteration or destruction of that information.
- OBLIGATION TO MAINTAIN WHOIS. Your wilful provision of
inaccurate or unreliable information, your wilful failure promptly to update
information provided to us, or any failure to respond to inquiries by us
addressed to the email address of the registrant, the administrative,
billing or technical contact appearing in the Whois directory with respect
to a domain name concerning the accuracy of contact details associated with
the registration shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and be
a basis for cancellation of the domain name registration. Any information
collected by us concerning an identified or identifiable natural person
("Personal Data") will be used in connection with the registration of your
domain name(s) and for the purposes of this Agreement and as required or
permitted by ICANN or an applicable registry policy.

right to deny, cancel, suspend, transfer or modify any domain name
registration to correct a mistake, protect the integrity and stability of
the company and any applicable registry, to comply with any applicable laws,
government rules, or requirements, requests of law enforcement, in
compliance with any dispute resolution process, or to avoid any liability,
civil or criminal. You agree that we shall not be liable to you for loss or
damages that may result from our refusal to register or cancel, suspend,
transfer or modify your domain name registration.
- INCONSISTENCIES WITH REGISTRY POLICIES. In the event
that this Agreement may be inconsistent with any term, condition, policy or
procedure of an applicable registry, the term, condition, policy or
procedure of the applicable registry shall prevail.
- NON-WAIVER. Our failure to require performance by you
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.

accordance with all applicable legislation and are responsible for
all use of e-mail forwarding, including the content of messages sent
through e-mail forwarding.
You undertake to familiarize yourself with the content of and to
comply with the generally accepted rules for Internet and e-mail
usage. Without prejudice to the foregoing, you undertake not to use
e-mail forwarding: (A) to encourage, allow or participate in any
form of illegal or unsuitable activity, including but not restricted

names or in any other way to pose as somebody else when using e-mail
forwarding.
- Registry reserves the right to implement additional anti-spam
measures, to block spam or mail from systems with a history of abuse
from entering Registry's e-mail forwarding. However, due to the
nature of such systems, which actively block messages, Registry
shall make public any decision to implement such systems a
reasonable time in advance, so as to allow you or us to give
feedback on the decision.
- You understand and agree that Registry may delete material that
does not conform to clause (c) above or that in some other way
