Exhibit A
Domain
Registration Agreement
1.
THIS REGISTRATION AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), is between EPAG Domainservices GmbH
("EPAG") and you, on behalf of yourself or the entity you represent
("Registrant"), as offered through ___________________________________,
the Reseller participating in EPAG's distribution channel for domain name
registrations. Any reference to "Registry" or "Registry
Operator" shall refer to the registry administrator of the applicable
top-level domain ("TLD"). This Agreement explains EPAG's obligations
to Registrant, and Registrant's obligations to EPAG, for the domain
registration services. By agreeing to the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement, Registrant agrees to be bound by the rules and regulations set
forth in this Agreement, and by a registry for that particular TLD.
2.
DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION AND
ADMINISTRATION. EPAG provides domain services and thus
particularly acts as an agent between the Registrant and the respective
Registry or accredited registrar to register and administer the contracted
domain name according to the details of Registrant. EPAG also pays the
necessary fees to the Registry or accredited registrar for these operations. A
Registration on the basis of this Agreement is the application for a domain
name with the respective registry (registration) or the transfer of a domain
name from another registrar to EPAG (transfer). Administration shall mean the
provision and change of data entries to domains (e. g. contacts or name
server), the renewal of the domain registration period, the deletion of a
domain or the like. If Registrant registers or administers a domain through
EPAG, EPAG shall undertake to process the registration as quickly as possible.
A domain name submitted through EPAG will be deemed active when the relevant
registry accepts the Registrant's application and activates Registrant's domain
name registration or renewal. EPAG has no influence on, and cannot guarantee,
whether or when a domain name is registered and shall be unable to guarantee
that the domain name applied for will not be registered for another applicant
during the processing period. EPAG shall not accept any liability for delays
caused by other parties involved in the registration process and is not
responsible for any inaccuracies or errors in the domain name registration or
renewal process. Furthermore, EPAG does not guarantee that the domain names
applied for on behalf of the Customer will be unencumbered with the rights of
third parties or will continue to exist in the future.
· If the Reseller applies for the registration of several domain names and
if the registration of all of them is not possible due to a lack of
availability, EPAG shall be entitled to register those domains which are
available (partial performance).
3.
FEES. Registrant agrees to pay Reseller the applicable service fees prior to
the registration or renewal of a domain. All fees payable hereunder are
non-refundable even if Registrant's domain name registration is suspended,
cancelled or transferred prior to the end of your current registration term.
4.
TERM. This Agreement will remain in effect during the term of the domain name
registration as selected, recorded and paid for at the time of registration or
renewal. Should the domain name be transferred to another registrar, the terms
and conditions of this Agreement shall cease.
5.
EXPIRATION, RENEWAL AND
FORFEITURE. The registered domain name will expire on
the expiration date specified in the registration term, and as communicated to
the Registrant. Registrant will receive reminders immediately prior to the
expiration inviting Registrant to renew the domain name, provided the policies
governing the applicable TLD require EPAG to send such renewal reminders. In
the event that Registrant fails to renew the domain name in a timely fashion,
the registration will expire and EPAG may, at its discretion, elect to assume
the registration and may hold it in its own account, delete it, or sell it to a
third party. In cases where, in order to not extend the registration period of
a domain for another period, the applicable registration policy of that TLD
requires written consent of the Registrant to delete a domain, Registrant is
obliged to provide EPAG with this written consent to delete the domain name. If
Registrant does not consent to the domain name being deleted, and does not
initiate a transfer of the domain to a third party, EPAG will not renew the
domain name to the benefit of Registrant. During the period following the
expiration of a domain name, the domain name will cease to resolve, the Whois
registration records may be revised to include that of EPAG, its parent company
Tucows Inc., or its Reseller, and visitors to Registrant's website may be
directed to a default web page. This default web page may feature
advertisements posted by EPAG for its own account. Registrant acknowledges and
agrees that Registrant's right and interest in a domain name ceases upon its
expiration. Registrant is solely responsible for informing itself of the date of
expiration and renewing its registration in a timely manner. If EPAG, at its
sole discretion, elects to renew the registration, Registrant will be entitled
to a grace period of forty (40) days during which Registrant may re-register
the domain name. Additional costs for the redemption and re-registration will
apply.
6.
EXPIRED REGISTRATION RECOVERY
POLICY. For all TLDs governed by the Expired Registration
Recovery Policy, as established by ICANN, domain expiration notices will be
sent via email thirty (30) days and seven (7) days prior to a domain expiration
date and five (5) days after a domain expires. Renewal, post-expiration renewal
and redemptions fees are published at https://www.epag.de/en/fees/. Reseller's fees may differ.
7.
REGISTRANT INFORMATION AND
DATA SHARING. Data required
for the registration of a domain name varies by top-level domain. The required
data for a domain name registration (“Minimum Data”) will be presented at the
time of registration or renewal and may include up to:
·
Name, organization name (if
available), email address, and country of the Registered Name Holder;
·
Registered domain name;
·
Name, postal address, e-mail
address, and voice and fax (if available) telephone numbers of the administrative
contact for the domain name;
·
Name, postal address, e-mail
address, and voice and fax (if available) telephone numbers of the billing
contact for the domain name; and
·
Name, postal address, e-mail
address, and voice and fax (if available) telephone numbers of the technical
contact for the domain name.
·
If necessary, IP addresses of the primary and secondary name servers including their
server names
Any changes shall be communicated to EPAG without undue delay and shall
be confirmed in writing within 15 days on request.
The Minimum Data will be shared with EPAG and the relevant authoritative
registry services provider for your top-level domain. The identity of the
authoritative registry services provider can be found at https://www.iana.org/whois.
The Minimum Data for domains in any TLD you have registered can be found
in the Data Processing Information Page.
8.
ACCURATE INFORMATION. Registrant represents and warrants that:
·
The statements that Registrant
makes in connection with the domain name registration, maintenance, or renewal
are complete and accurate;
·
Registrant information will be
kept current;
·
Registrant will not, and will
not permit others, to use the domain name in violation of any ICANN or registry
policies, applicable laws or regulations, or legal rights of others;
·
Registrant make sure that the
chosen domain names are available and do not offend common decency;
·
Registrant will respond to
inquiries from EPAG addressed to the email address of the Registrant, the
administrative, billing or technical contact with respect to a domain name
concerning the accuracy of contact details.
·
Registrant acknowledges that a
breach of this Section 8 will constitute a material breach of the Agreement,
which will entitle either EPAG or a registry to terminate this Agreement
immediately upon such breach without any refund and without notice to
Registrant.
9.
ICANN REQUIRED DISCLOSURES. Domain name registration requires sharing the Registrant's information,
in whole or in part, with the applicable Registry Operator and with ICANN. As
required by ICANN, this information must be made publicly available by means of
Whois, and the Registry Operator also may be required to make this information
publicly available by Whois. Both EPAG and the Registry Operator may be
required to archive this information with a third-party escrow service.
Registrant consents to and gives permission for all such required disclosures.
Further, Registrant represents and warrants that, if Registrant is providing
information about a third party, Registrant has notified the third party of the
required disclosures and the purpose for the disclosures and Registrant has
obtained the third party's consent to such disclosure. ICANN may establish or
modify the guidelines, limits or requirements that relate to the amount and
type of information that EPAG may or must make available to the public or to
private entities, and the manner in which such information is made available.
10.
SUSPENSION AND CANCELLATION. EPAG may in its sole discretion, suspend or cancel Registrant's domain
name registration, or return the domain to the Registry where applicable
without notice:
·
if Registrant breaches this
Agreement;
·
if Registrant fails to provide
payment or accurate contact or billing information;
·
in the event there was an
error in the registration process for such domain name;
·
as required by ICANN or a
Registry Operator;
·
to protect the integrity and
stability of EPAG and any applicable registry;
·
to comply with any applicable
laws, government rules, requests of law enforcement and court orders;
·
if a third party can plausibly
demonstrate an infringement brought about by the registration or usage of a
domain name, such as a conjectural breach of trademark, copy or any other proprietary
rights of third parties resulting from the domain name or the usage of the
domain;
·
in compliance with any dispute
resolution process, or
· to avoid any liability, civil or criminal.
11.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Registrant is bound by all ICANN consensus policies and all policies of
any relevant Registry Operator, including the Uniform Rapid Suspension
Procedure, The Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution policy (UDRP), along with
the UDRP rules and all supplemental rules of any UDRP provider. ICANN may change
the UDRP at any time. If a third party challenges the registration or
reservation of the Registrant's domain name, Registrant will be subject to the
provisions specified in the dispute policy adopted by the applicable registry.
In the event a domain name dispute arises, Registrant will indemnify and hold
EPAG harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the applicable
policy. If EPAG is notified that a complaint has been filed with a judicial or
administrative body regarding a domain name, EPAG may, at its sole discretion,
suspend use of the domain name and the ability to make modifications to the
registration records until:
·
EPAG is directed to do so by
the judicial or administrative body, or
·
EPAG receives notification from
both parties that the dispute has been settled.
· If Registrant or Registrant's domain name becomes the
subject of litigation, EPAG may deposit control of Registrant's domain name
record into the registry of the judicial body by supplying a party with a
registrar certificate.
12.
TRUSTEE SERVICE. If Registrant elects to use a Trustee Service in a situation where a
TLD’s registration policy requires a local representative for non-residents,
the General Terms and Conditions for Local Presence Services / Trustee Services
as available at https://domrob.epag.net/pdf/EN-GTC_Trustee_Service_2016.pdf will apply.
13.
DNS SERVICE. If Registrant elects to use EPAG’s DNS services, EPAG will provide two
domain name servers for the technical operation (domain name resolution) of
domain names managed at EPAG. The terms of use of EPAG’s DNS Service, available
at https://domrob.epag.net/pdf/EN-EPAG_DNS_Policy_2016.pdf, will apply. The fee for using EPAG’s DNS service within the “free use”
provisions as laid out in the terms of use is included in the domain
registration and renewal fees. Accessibility of the domain name thereby depends
on the services of third parties and thus is beyond the sphere of influence of
EPAG. EPAG reserves the right to cancel the provision of the above-mentioned
services for specific domains in reasonable cases and in its sole discretion.
EPAG also reserves the right to change the registration of respective domains,
particularly in case of a conjectural breach of trademark, copy or any other
proprietary rights of third parties resulting from the domain name and the
usage of the domain.
14.
POLICY. Registrant agrees that its registration of the domain name shall be
subject to suspension, cancellation, or transfer pursuant to a EPAG, registry,
ICANN or government-adopted policy, or pursuant to any registrar or registry
procedure not inconsistent with a EPAG, registry, ICANN or government-adopted
policy,
·
to correct mistakes by EPAG or
a registry in registering the name or
· for the resolution of disputes concerning the domain name.
15.
NO GUARANTEE. Registrant acknowledges that registration of a chosen domain name does
not confer immunity from objection to the registration, reservation or use of
the domain name.
16.
AGENCY. If Registrant intends to license use of a domain name to a third party,
Registrant is deemed the domain name holder of record and is responsible for
providing Registrant's own full contact information adequate to facilitate
timely resolution of any problems that arise in connection with the domain
name. Registrant shall accept liability for harm caused by wrongful use of the
domain name, unless it promptly discloses the licensee's identity and current
contact information (as provided by the licensee) to a party providing the
Registered Name Holder reasonable evidence of actionable harm. Registrant
represents that it will secure the agreement of any third party to the terms
and conditions in this Agreement.
17.
MODIFICATIONS TO AGREEMENT. EPAG 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
at https://www.epag.de/downloads/exhibit-a.htm. Your
continued use of the registered domain name 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 be cancelled or transferred to a different
accredited registrar, and agree that such cancellation or 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.
18.
ANNOUNCEMENTS. EPAG reserves the right to distribute information to Registrant that is
required by ICANN or Registry policy.
19.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Registrant agrees that EPAG’s entire liability, and Registrant's
exclusive remedy, with respect to the domain registration service provided
under this Agreement and any breach of this Agreement is solely limited to the
amount Registrant paid for the initial registration of the domain name. EPAG,
ICANN and the applicable registries shall not be liable for any lost profits,
revenues, or data, financial losses or indirect, special, consequential,
exemplary, or punitive damages. Because some states do not allow the exclusion
or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such
states, liability is limited to the extent permitted by law.
20.
INDEMNITY. Registrant will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless EPAG, ICANN, the
applicable registries, and their respective directors, officers, employees,
agents, affiliates, and contractors, from all liabilities, claims and expenses,
including attorney's fees, arising out of or relating to
·
Registrant's registration and
use of the domain name registered;
·
use of the domain name in
violation of this Agreement; or
·
Registrant's violation of any
third party right, including Intellectual Property Rights. This indemnification
obligation will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
· Registrant shall make up for any damage done to EPAG and shall indemnify
EPAG against any claims and other legal injuries resulting from its
non-compliance with the rules named in this Agreement or from any
non-compliance with its duty to cooperate. This provision shall also apply to Reseller regarding possible claims of end customers
against EPAG due to the reasons named above.
21.
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 was secured shall be deemed the designate
of the Registrant with the authority to manage the domain name. Registrant
agrees to only transfer ownership of the domain name to another person (the
"Transferee") if the current as well as the prospective Registrant
have explicitly agreed to the change of ownership before the start of the
transaction. Registrant agrees that prior to transferring ownership of the domain
name to another person (the "Transferee") Registrant 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 determined by EPAG in its sole discretion) to the terms and conditions in
this Agreement, any such transfer will be null and void. Registrant explicitly
authorizes EPAG to act as their Designated Agent, as stipulated by the ICANN
Transfer Policy, to approve a Change of Registrant on their behalf. EPAG
reserves the right not to execute orders to change the domain owner in cases of
justified disbelief, or to cancel or revert orders that have already been
executed if this is possible.
22.
BREACH. Registrant agrees that failure to abide by any provision of this
Agreement, any ICANN, Registry, URDP or Dispute operating rule or policy, may
be considered by EPAG to be a material breach, and that EPAG may provide
written notice, describing the breach, to Registrant. If within fifteen (15)
calendar days of the date of such notice, Registrant fails to provide evidence,
which is reasonably satisfactory to EPAG, that Registrant has not breached its
obligations under the Agreement, then EPAG may delete the registration the
domain name. Any such breach by Registrant shall not be deemed to be excused
simply because EPAG did not act earlier in response to that, or any other,
breach by Registrant.
23.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. Except for the express warranties in this Agreement, EPAG does not make
any other warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory or
otherwise, including warranties or merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, and non-infringement. EPAG is not responsible or liable for the
deletion or of failure to store any content and other communications maintained
or transmitted through the use of the domain name registration service. EPAG
does not warrant that the domain name registrations service will be error free
or uninterrupted. The domain name registration service is not intended for high
risk activities.
24.
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.
25.
NON-WAIVER. EPAG’s failure to require performance by Registrant of any provision
hereof shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any time
thereafter; nor shall the waiver by EPAG of a breach of any provision hereof be
taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself.
26.
NOTICES. Any notice, direction or other communication given under this Agreement
shall be in writing and given by sending it via e-mail or via regular mail. In
the case of e-mail, valid notice shall only have been deemed to be given when

revenue in support of their missions, members of the .ngo|.ong community do not
recognize profits or retain earnings.
c.
Limited government influence:
Recognizing that many NGOs and ONGs have important interactions with
government, not least for reasons of funding (which may include receipt of some
government funding in support of their programs), members of the .ngo|.ong
community decide their own policies, direct their own activities, and are
independent of direct government or political control.
d.
Independent actors: Members of
the .ngo|.ong community should not be political parties nor should be a part of
any government. Participation in the work of a NGO or ONG is voluntary.
e.
Active organisations: Members
of the .ngo|.ong community are actively pursuing their missions on a regular
basis.
Structured: Members of the .ngo|.ong community, whether large or small, operate
in a structured manner (e.g. under bylaws, codes of conduct, organizational
standards, or other government structures.)
f.
Lawful: Members of the
.ngo|.ong community act with integrity within the bounds of law.

To activate the new domains, NGO organisations will also need to complete a
post-registration validation process:
a.
Registrant is required to
submit information and documentation to PIR establishing that it meets the
eligibility requirements of an NGO.
b.
Validation documentation may
consist of one or more of the following:
-
government lists
-
corporate documents (e.g.,
Articles of Incorporation)
-
tax records or other documents
evidencing the entity's charitable status and work in the community it serves
c.
Registrant is required to
certify that the information and documentation it submitted in the validation
process remains true, complete, and accurate at least once every two years
after initial validation.
d.
If Registrant does not
successfully complete the validation process within one year from the date it
registers the domain name bundle, the domain name bundle will be deleted and
released back into the pool of available domains and any fees paid in
connection with the registration of the domain name bundle will be forfeit.
e.
Registrant acknowledges and
understands that, in the event it is selected for an audit, it will promptly
comply with any inquiries and requests from the Registry to provide additional
evidence of its NGO status.
f.
If, as a result of the audit
process, the Registry determines (in its sole discretion) that the Registrant
does not meet the NGO eligibility requirements, the Registrant's domain name
bundle will be deleted and released back into the pool of available domains and
any fees paid in connection with the Registrant's domain name bundle will be
forfeit.
