Exhibit A
Domainregistrierungsvereinbarung
1. DIESE REGISTRIERUNGSVEREINBARUNG („Vereinbarung“) wird zwischen der EPAG Domainservices GmbH („EPAG“) und Ihnen, entweder in Ihrem eigenen Namen oder im Namen des von Ihnen vertretenen Unternehmens („Domaininhaber“) geschlossen, wie über ___________________________________, den am Vertriebskanal für Domainregistrierungen von EPAG teilnehmenden Reseller, angeboten. Jegliche Bezugnahme auf „Registry“ oder „Registry-Betreiber“ bezieht sich auf den Registry-Verwalter der jeweiligen Top-Level-Domain („TLD“). In dieser Vereinbarung werden die Pflichten von EPAG gegenüber dem Domaininhaber und die Pflichten des Domaininhabers gegenüber EPAG in Bezug auf die Domainregistrierungsdienste erläutert. Durch seine Zustimmung zu den in dieser Vereinbarung aufgeführten Geschäftsbedingungen erklärt sich der Domaininhaber damit einverstanden, an die in dieser Vereinbarung aufgeführten Regeln und Bestimmungen und an eine Registry für die betreffende TLD gebunden zu sein.
2. REGISTRIERUNG UND VERWALTUNG VON DOMAINS. EPAG bietet Domaindienstleistungen an und handelt somit insbesondere als Vermittler zwischen dem Domaininhaber und der jeweiligen Registry bzw. dem akkreditierten Registrar zur Registrierung und Verwaltung der vertraglich bezogenen Domains gemäß den Angaben des Domaininhabers. Weiterhin zahlt EPAG die für diese Dienste erforderlichen Gebühren an die Registry bzw. den akkreditierten Registrar. Als Registrierung im Sinne dieser Vereinbarung gilt die Anmeldung einer Domain bei der zuständigen Registry (Registrierung) oder die Übernahme einer Domain von einem anderen Registrar durch EPAG (Transfer). Als Verwaltung gilt das Bereitstellen oder Ändern der Einträge zu Domains (z. B. Kontakte oder Nameserver), das Verlängern der Registrierungsperiode oder das Löschen einer Domain und Ähnliches. Wenn ein Domaininhaber eine Domain über EPAG registriert oder verwaltet, verpflichtet sich EPAG, die Registrierung so schnell wie möglich zu bearbeiten. Eine über EPAG eingereichte Domain gilt als aktiv, wenn die betreffende Registry den Antrag des Domaininhabers annimmt und den Antrag des Domaininhabers zur Registrierung oder Verlängerung der Domain durchführt. EPAG hat keinen Einfluss darauf und kann nicht garantieren, ob oder wann eine Domain registriert wird, und EPAG kann nicht garantieren, dass die beantragte Domain nicht während des Bearbeitungszeitraums für einen anderen Antragsteller registriert wird. EPAG übernimmt keine Haftung für von anderen am Registrierungsprozess beteiligten Parteien verursachte Verzögerungen und ist nicht für Unstimmigkeiten oder Fehler im Rahmen des Registrierungs- oder Verlängerungsprozesses der Domain verantwortlich. Darüber hinaus übernimmt EPAG keine Gewährleistung dafür, dass die im Auftrag des Kunden beantragten Domains keinen Rechtsansprüchen Dritter unterliegen oder in Zukunft unterliegen werden.
· Wenn der Reseller die Registrierung mehrerer Domains beantragt und die Registrierung aller beantragten Domains mangels Verfügbarkeit nicht möglich ist, ist EPAG berechtigt, die verfügbaren Domains zu registrieren (Teilerfüllung).
3. GEBÜHREN. Der Domaininhaber verpflichtet sich, vor der Registrierung oder Verlängerung einer Domain die entsprechenden Servicegebühren an den Reseller zu entrichten. Alle im Rahmen dieser Vereinbarung zu zahlenden Gebühren sind nicht erstattungsfähig, selbst wenn die Registrierung der Domain des Domaininhabers vor dem Ende Ihres jeweils aktuellen Registrierungszeitraums suspendiert, storniert oder transferiert wird.
4. LAUFZEIT. Diese Vereinbarung gilt für die Laufzeit des Registrierungszeitraums der Domain, der zum Zeitpunkt der Registrierung oder Verlängerung ausgewählt, eingetragen und bezahlt wurde. Wird die Domain zu einem anderen Registrar transferiert, so verlieren die Geschäftsbedingungen dieser Vereinbarung ihre Gültigkeit.
5. ABLAUF, VERLÄNGERUNG UND VERFALL. Die registrierte Domain läuft an dem Expire-Datum ab, das auf Basis des Registrierungszeitraums angegeben ist und dem Domaininhaber mitgeteilt wurde. Unmittelbar vor dem Ablauf erhält der Domaininhaber Erinnerungen, in denen er zur Verlängerung der Domain aufgefordert wird, soweit in den Richtlinien, denen die jeweilige TLD unterliegt, eine Verpflichtung für EPAG zum Versand solcher Verlängerungserinnerungen vorgesehen ist. Falls der Domaininhaber die Domain nicht rechtzeitig verlängert, läuft die Registrierung ab. In diesem Fall kann EPAG sich nach eigenem Ermessen dazu entscheiden, die Registrierung zu übernehmen, sie in seinem eigenen Konto zu halten, zu löschen oder an einen Dritten zu verkaufen. In Fällen, in denen gemäß der geltenden Registrierungsrichtlinie der betreffenden TLD die schriftliche Zustimmung des Domaininhabers zur Löschung einer Domain erforderlich ist, damit der Registrierungszeitraum einer Domain nicht für einen weiteren Zeitraum verlängert wird, ist der Domaininhaber verpflichtet, EPAG diese schriftliche Einwilligung zur Löschung der Domain bereitzustellen. Wenn der Domaininhaber seine Einwilligung zur Löschung der Domain nicht erteilt und keine Übertragung der Domain auf einen Dritten einleitet, wird EPAG die Domain nicht zugunsten des Domaininhabers verlängern. Im auf den Ablauf der Domain folgenden Zeitraum löst die Domain nicht mehr auf, können die Registrierungseinträge im Whois auf Einträge von EPAG, deren Muttergesellschaft Tucows Inc. oder deren Resellers geändert werden, und können Besucher der Website des Domaininhabers auf eine Default-Webseite weitergeleitet werden. Auf dieser Default-Webseite kann von EPAG für seine eigenen Zwecke veröffentlichte Werbung angezeigt werden. Der Domaininhaber erkennt an und erklärt sich damit einverstanden, dass sein Recht und Rechtsanspruch in Bezug auf eine Domain mit deren Ablauf enden. Der Domaininhaber allein ist dafür verantwortlich, sich über das Expire-Datum zu informieren und seine Registrierung rechtzeitig zu verlängern. Wenn EPAG nach eigenem Ermessen beschließt, die Registrierung zu verlängern, hat der Domaininhaber Anspruch auf eine Nachfrist von vierzig (40) Tagen, während derer er die Domain neu registrieren kann. Hierbei gelten zusätzliche Kosten für die Wiederherstellung und die Neuregistrierung.
6. RICHTLINIE ZUR WIEDERHERSTELLUNG EINER ABGELAUFENEN REGISTRIERUNG. Für alle TLD, die der von ICANN festgelegten Expired Registration Recovery Policy (Richtlinie zur Wiederherstellung einer abgelaufenen Registrierung) unterliegen, werden dreißig (30) Tage und sieben (7) Tage vor dem Expire-Datum einer Domain und fünf (5) Tage nach dem Ablauf einer Domain Mitteilungen bezüglich des Ablaufs der Domain per E-Mail gesendet. Die Gebühren für eine Verlängerung, eine Verlängerung nach Ablauf und eine Wiederherstellung sind auf https://www.epag.de/gebuehren einsehbar. Die Gebühren des Resellers können von diesen Angaben abweichen.
7. ANGABEN ZUM DOMAININHABER UND DATENWEITERGABE. Die erforderlichen Daten für die Registrierung einer Domain variieren je nach Top-Level-Domain. Die erforderlichen Daten für die Registrierung einer Domain ("Mindestangaben") werden bei der Registrierung oder Verlängerung vorgelegt und können Folgendes umfassen:
·
Name,
Organisationsname (soweit vorhanden), E-Mail-Adresse und Land des Inhabers der
registrierten Domain;
·
Registrierter
Domain-Name;
·
Name,
Postanschrift, E-Mail-Adresse und Telefon- und Faxnummer (soweit vorhanden) des
administrativen Ansprechpartners für die Domain;
·
Name,
Postanschrift, E-Mail-Adresse und Telefon- und Faxnummer (soweit vorhanden) des
Ansprechpartners für Rechnungen für die Domain;
·
Name,
Postanschrift, E-Mail-Adresse und Telefon- und Faxnummer (soweit vorhanden) des
Ansprechpartners für technische Angelegenheiten für die Domain.
· soweit notwendig, IP-Adressen der primären und sekundären Nameserver einschließlich ihrer Servernamen.
Jegliche Änderungen sind EPAG
unverzüglich mitzuteilen und auf Verlangen innerhalb von 15 Tagen schriftlich
zu bestätigen.
Die Mindestdaten werden EPAG
und der zuständigen Registry für Ihre Top-Level-Domain mitgeteilt. Die Identität
der entsprechenden Registry finden Sie unter https://www.iana.org/whois.
Die Mindestdaten für Domains in jeder der von Ihnen registrierten Top-Level-Domains finden Sie auf der Informationsseite zur Datennutzung.
8. KORREKTE ANGABEN. Der Domaininhaber versichert und gewährleistet, dass:
·
die
Angaben des Domaininhabers im Zusammenhang mit der Registrierung,
Instandhaltung bzw. Verlängerung der Domain vollständig und korrekt sind;
·
die
Informationen zum Domaininhaber auf dem neuesten Stand gehalten werden;
·
er
selbst die Domain nicht unter Verletzung von Richtlinien der ICANN oder der
Registry, geltenden Gesetzen oder Bestimmungen oder gesetzlichen Rechten
Dritter nutzen wird und dies auch anderen nicht gestatten wird;
·
er
dafür Sorge trägt, dass die gewählten Domains verfügbar sind und nicht gegen
die guten Sitten verstoßen;
·
er
auf an die E-Mail-Adresse des Domaininhabers, des administrativen
Ansprechpartners, des Ansprechpartners für Rechnungen oder des Ansprechpartners
für technische Angelegenheiten gerichtete Anfragen von EPAG zu einer Domain
hinsichtlich der Korrektheit von Kontaktinformationen antworten wird.
· Der Domaininhaber erkennt an, dass ein Verstoß gegen diesen Abschnitt 8 eine wesentliche Vertragsverletzung darstellt, welche EPAG bzw. eine Registry dazu berechtigt, diese Vereinbarung nach dem betreffenden Verstoß mit sofortiger Wirkung und ohne eine Rückerstattung oder Benachrichtigung an den Domaininhaber zu kündigen.
9. VON ICANN VERLANGTE ANGABEN. Für die Registrierung der Domain ist es erforderlich, alle oder einen Teil der Informationen des Domaininhabers an den jeweiligen Registry-Betreiber und an ICANN weiterzugeben. Gemäß der Anforderung der ICANN müssen diese Informationen mittels Whois öffentlich zugänglich gemacht werden, und auch der Registry-Betreiber kann dazu verpflichtet sein, diese Informationen über Whois öffentlich zugänglich zu machen. Sowohl EPAG als auch der Registry-Betreiber können verpflichtet sein, diese Informationen bei einem Drittanbieter von Treuhanddiensten zu archivieren. Der Domaininhaber erteilt seine Einwilligung und Erlaubnis zu diesen erforderlichen Offenlegungen. Darüber hinaus versichert und gewährleistet der Domaininhaber, dass er die Einwilligung von Dritten eingeholt und diese über die erforderliche Offenlegung von Daten und den Zweck dieser Offenlegung informiert hat, wenn er Informationen zu diesen Dritten bereitstellt. ICANN kann die Leitlinien, Grenzen oder Anforderungen hinsichtlich des Umfangs und der Art der Informationen, die EPAG der Öffentlichkeit oder privaten Stellen bereitstellen kann oder muss, sowie die Art und Weise der Bereitstellung dieser Informationen festlegen oder ändern.
10. AUSSETZUNG UND AUFHEBUNG. EPAG kann, gegebenenfalls ohne vorherige Benachrichtigung, in den folgenden Fällen nach eigenem Ermessen die Registrierung der Domain des Domaininhabers suspendieren oder stornieren oder die Domain an die Registry zurückgeben:
·
wenn
der Domaininhaber gegen diese Vereinbarung verstößt;
·
wenn
der Domaininhaber eine Zahlung nicht leistet oder inkorrekte
Kontaktinformationen oder Rechnungsdaten angibt;
·
falls
ein Fehler bei dem Registrierungsprozess für die betreffende Domain aufgetreten
ist;
·
wie
von ICANN oder einem Registry-Betreiber verlangt;
·
zum
Schutz der Integrität und Stabilität von EPAG und der jeweiligen Registry;
·
zur
Einhaltung geltender Gesetze oder staatlicher Vorschriften, und um
Aufforderungen von Strafverfolgungsbehörden sowie gerichtlichen Verfügungen
nachzukommen;
·
wenn
ein Dritter glaubhaft eine Rechtsverletzung aufgrund der Registrierung oder
Nutzung einer Domain nachweisen kann, wie etwa eine mutmaßliche Verletzung von
Marken-, Urheber- oder sonstigen Schutzrechten Dritter, die auf der Domain oder
der Nutzung der Domain beruht;
·
zur
Einhaltung der Verfügungen eines Streitbeilegungsverfahrens, oder
·
zur
Vermeidung einer zivil- oder strafrechtlichen Haftung.
11. BEILEGUNG VON STREITIGKEITEN. BEILEGUNG VON STREITIGKEITEN. Der Domaininhaber ist an alle Consensus Policies von ICANN und alle Richtlinien relevanter Registry-Betreiber gebunden, einschließlich des Einheitlichen Schnell-Suspendierungsverfahrens (Uniform Rapid Suspension Procedure) und der Einheitlichen Richtlinie über die Lösung von Streitigkeiten um Domains (The Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, UDRP), neben den UDRP-Regeln und allen ergänzenden Regeln eines UDRP-Anbieters. ICANN kann die UDRP jederzeit ändern. Wenn ein Dritter die Registrierung oder Reservierung der Domain des Domaininhabers anfechtet, unterliegt der Domaininhaber den Bestimmungen der Richtlinien zu Streitigkeiten der jeweiligen Registry. Der Domaininhaber ist verpflichtet, EPAG bei Streitigkeiten bezüglich der Domain gemäß den in der jeweiligen Richtlinie enthaltenen Geschäftsbedingungen zu entschädigen und schadlos zu halten. Wenn EPAG darüber benachrichtigt wird, dass bezüglich einer Domain eine Klage bzw. Beschwerde bei einer Justiz- oder Verwaltungsbehörde eingereicht wurde, kann EPAG die Nutzung der Domain und die Fähigkeit zur Änderung der Registrierungseinträge nach eigenem Ermessen solange suspendieren, bis
·
EPAG
von der Justiz- oder Verwaltungsbehörde angewiesen wird, dies zu tun, oder
· EPAG eine Benachrichtigung von beiden Parteien erhält, dass die Streitigkeit beigelegt wurde.
Wenn der Domaininhaber oder die Domain des Domaininhabers Gegenstand eines Rechtsstreits wird, kann EPAG die Kontrolle über den Domaineintrag des Domaininhabers an das Register der Justizbehörde übergeben, indem er einer Partei eine Registrarbescheinigung zur Verfügung stellt.
12. TRUSTEE-SERVICE. Wenn der Domaininhaber für eine Domain Trustee-Service beauftragt, für die laut der Registrierungsrichtlinie der TLD ein lokaler Vertreter für nicht im Land ansässige Parteien erforderlich ist, gelten die Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen für Local Presence-Services/Trustee-Services, die unter folgendem Link abrufbar sind: https://domrob.epag.net/pdf/EN-GTC_Trustee_Service_2016.pdf.
13. DNS-SERVICE. Wenn sich ein Domaininhaber dafür entscheidet, die DNS-Services von EPAG zu nutzen, stellt EPAG zwei Nameserver für den technischen Betrieb (Namensauflösung der Domain) von bei EPAG verwalteten Domains zur Verfügung. Hierbei gelten die Nutzungsbedingungen des DNS-Services von EPAG, die unter folgendem Link abrufbar sind: https://domrob.epag.net/pdf/EN-EPAG_DNS_Policy_2016.pdf. Die Gebühr für die Nutzung des DNS-Services von EPAG im Rahmen der in den Nutzungsbedingungen dargelegten Bestimmungen zur „kostenlosen Nutzung“ ist in den Gebühren für die Registrierung und Verlängerung der Domain enthalten. Die Erreichbarkeit der Domain hängt dabei von den Dienstleistungen Dritter ab und entzieht sich somit dem Einflussbereich von EPAG. EPAG behält sich das Recht vor, die Bereitstellung der vorstehend erwähnten Services für bestimmte Domains in angemessenen Fällen und nach eigenem Ermessen einzustellen. Darüber hinaus behält sich EPAG das Recht vor, die Registrierung der jeweiligen Domains zu ändern, insbesondere im Fall einer mutmaßlichen Verletzung von Marken-, Urheber- oder sonstigen Schutzrechten Dritter, die auf der Domain oder der Nutzung der Domain beruht.
14. RICHTLINIE. Der Domaininhaber erklärt sich damit einverstanden, dass seine Registrierung der Domain auf Basis einer Richtlinie der EPAG, ICANN oder Regierung wie auch auf Basis eines Verfahrens der Registry, das den Richtlinien der EPAG, ICANN oder Regierung nicht widerspricht, suspendiert, storniert oder transferiert werden kann,
·
um
Fehler von EPAG oder einer Registry bei der Registrierung der Domain zu
korrigieren oder
· zur Beilegung von Streitigkeiten hinsichtlich der Domain.
15. KEINE GEWÄHR. Der Domaininhaber erkennt an, dass durch die Registrierung einer gewählten Domain keine Immunität gegen einen Widerspruch gegen die Registrierung, Reservierung oder Nutzung der Domain gewährt wird.
16. VERTRETUNG. Wenn ein Domaininhaber beabsichtigt, einem Dritten eine Lizenz zur Nutzung einer Domain zu gewähren, gilt der Domaininhaber als der eingetragene Inhaber der Domain und ist dafür verantwortlich, seine eigenen vollständigen Kontaktinformationen anzugeben, um eine rechtzeitige Klärung von sich ggf. im Zusammenhang mit der Domain ergebenden Problemen zu ermöglichen. Der Domaininhaber übernimmt die Haftung für Schäden, die aufgrund der missbräuchlichen Nutzung der Domain entstehen, soweit er nicht unverzüglich die Identität und aktuelle Kontaktinformationen des Lizenznehmers (wie vom Lizenznehmer angegeben) gegenüber einer Partei offenlegt, die dem eingetragenen Inhaber der Domain einen angemessenen Nachweis eines einklagbaren Schadens vorlegt. Der Domaininhaber sichert zu, dass er die Zustimmung jeglicher Dritter zu den Geschäftsbedingungen dieser Vereinbarung einholen wird.
17. ÄNDERUNG DER VEREINBARUNG. EPAG kann diese Vereinbarung oder sonstige damit verbundene bzw. geltende Vereinbarungen ändern, soweit dies notwendig ist, um seine Vereinbarungen mit ICANN, einer Registry oder einer anderen juristischen oder natürlichen Person einzuhalten oder sich an sich verändernde Umstände anzupassen. Alle Änderungen dieser Vereinbarung werden auf unserer Website unter https://www.epag.de/downloads/exhibit-a_de.htm veröffentlicht. Die fortgesetzte Nutzung der registrierten Domain durch den Domaininhaber stellt dessen Akzeptanz dieser Vereinbarung mit etwaigen Änderungen dar. Wenn der Domaininhaber mit einer Änderung nicht einverstanden ist, kann er verlangen, dass seine Domain gelöscht oder zu einem anderen akkreditierten Registrar transferiert wird, und der Domaininhaber bestätigt, dass eine solche Löschung oder ein solcher Transfer seinen einzigen Rechtsbehelf darstellt, wenn er eine Änderung dieser Vereinbarung oder einer anderen damit verbundenen bzw. geltenden Vereinbarung nicht zustimmen möchte.
18. BEKANNTMACHUNGEN. EPAG behält sich das Recht vor, dem Domaininhaber Informationen zukommen zu lassen, die aufgrund der Richtlinie von ICANN oder der Registry erforderlich sind.
19. HAFTUNGSBESCHRÄNKUNG. Der Domaininhaber erklärt sich damit einverstanden, dass die gesamte Haftung von EPAG und der ausschließliche Rechtsbehelf des Domaininhabers bezüglich im Rahmen dieser Vereinbarung erbrachter Domainregistrierungsdienste und bezüglich eines Verstoßes gegen diese Vereinbarung ausschließlich auf den Betrag begrenzt ist, den der Domaininhaber für die ursprüngliche Registrierung der Domain bezahlt hat. EPAG, ICANN und die jeweiligen Registries haften in keiner Weise für entgangene Gewinne oder Einnahmen, den Verlust von Daten, Vermögensschäden oder indirekte, konkrete oder Folgeschäden oder Schadenersatz mit und ohne Strafcharakter. Da einige Länder den Ausschluss oder die Beschränkung der Haftung für beiläufige oder Folgeschäden nicht erlauben, ist die Haftung in diesen Ländern soweit wie gesetzlich zulässig beschränkt.
20. ENTSCHÄDIGUNG. Der Domaininhaber ist verpflichtet, EPAG, ICANN, die jeweiligen Registries und ihre jeweiligen Vorstandsmitglieder bzw. Geschäftsführer, leitenden Angestellten, Mitarbeiter, Bevollmächtigten, verbundenen Unternehmen und Auftragnehmer in Bezug auf alle Verbindlichkeiten, Ansprüche und Aufwendungen (einschließlich von Anwaltskosten) zu verteidigen, entschädigen und schadlos zu halten, die auf Folgendem beruhen oder damit zusammenhängen:
·
Registrierung
und Nutzung der registrierten Domain durch den Domaininhaber;
·
Nutzung
der Domain unter Verstoß gegen diese Vereinbarung; oder
· Verletzung der Rechte eines Dritten, einschließlich von geistigen Eigentumsrechten, durch den Domaininhaber. Diese Entschädigungsverpflichtung besteht über die Kündigung oder den Ablauf dieser Vereinbarung hinaus fort.
Der Domaininhaber muss jeden EPAG zugefügten Schaden ersetzen und ist verpflichtet, EPAG in Bezug auf Ansprüche oder sonstige Rechtsverletzungen zu entschädigen, die auf seiner Nichteinhaltung der in dieser Vereinbarung genannten Regeln oder einer Nichterfüllung seiner Kooperationspflicht beruhen. Diese Bestimmung gilt auch für Reseller im Hinblick auf mögliche Ansprüche von Endkunden gegenüber EPAG aus den oben aufgeführten Gründen.
21. INHABERWECHSEL. Die im Whois als Domaininhaber genannte Person gilt als der „eingetragene Domaininhaber“. Die zum Zeitpunkt der Erlangung des maßgeblichen Kontos als administrativer Ansprechpartner angegebene Person gilt als vom Domaininhaber Designierter mit der Befugnis, die Domain zu verwalten. Der Domaininhaber verpflichtet sich, das Eigentum an der Domain nur dann auf eine andere Person („übernehmender Domaininhaber“) zu übertragen, wenn der derzeitige und der übernehmende Domaininhaber dem Inhaberwechsel vor Beginn der Transaktion ausdrücklich zugestimmt haben. Der Domaininhaber erklärt sich damit einverstanden, dass er vor der Übertragung des Eigentums an der Domain auf eine andere Person (übernehmender Domaininhaber) vom übernehmenden Domaininhaber verlangen muss, dass sich dieser schriftlich damit einverstanden erklärt, an alle Geschäftsbedingungen dieser Vereinbarung gebunden zu sein. Wenn der übernehmende Domaininhaber nicht in angemessener Weise an die Geschäftsbedingungen dieser Vereinbarung gebunden ist (wie von EPAG nach eigenem Ermessen festgestellt), ist eine solche Übertragung ungültig. Der Domaininhaber bevollmächtigt EPAG ausdrücklich, als designierter Beauftragter des Domaininhabers (wie in der Transferrichtlinie von ICANN festgelegt) zu handeln, um eine Änderung des Domaininhabers in seinem Auftrag zu genehmigen. EPAG behält sich das Recht vor, Aufträge zur Änderung des Domaininhabers bei begründeten Zweifeln nicht auszuführen bzw. bereits ausgeführte Aufträge, sofern möglich, zu stornieren bzw. rückgängig zu machen.
22. VERSTÖSSE. Der Domaininhaber erklärt sich damit einverstanden, dass mangelhafte Einhaltung der Bestimmungen dieser Vereinbarung, Regeln oder Richtlinien von ICANN, einer Registry, der UDRP oder zu Streitigkeiten von EPAG als wesentliche Vertragsverletzung angesehen werden kann, und dass EPAG den Domaininhaber mit einer Beschreibung des Verstoßes schriftlich davon benachrichtigen darf. Wenn der Domaininhaber EPAG nicht innerhalb von fünfzehn (15) Kalendertagen nach dem Datum dieser Benachrichtigung einen angemessen und zufriedenstellenden Nachweis dafür vorlegt, dass er seine Pflichten im Rahmen der Vereinbarung nicht verletzt hat, kann EPAG die Registrierung der Domain löschen. Ein solcher Verstoß des Domaininhabers gilt nicht allein deshalb als entschuldigt, weil EPAG auf den betreffenden oder einen anderen Verstoß des Domaininhabers nicht eher reagiert hat.
23. GEWÄHRLEISTUNGSAUSSCHLUSS. Außer den in dieser Vereinbarung aufgeführten ausdrücklichen Gewährleistungen übernimmt EPAG keinerlei ausdrückliche, stillschweigende, gesetzliche oder anderweitige Gewährleistungen, einschließlich von Gewährleistungen hinsichtlich der Marktgängigkeit, Eignung für einen bestimmten Zweck und Nichtverletzung der Rechte Dritter. EPAG übernimmt keinerlei Verantwortung oder Haftung für die Löschung oder nicht erfolgte Speicherung von Inhalten oder sonstigen Kommunikationen, die durch die Nutzung des Registrierungsdienstes für Domains aufbewahrt oder übermittelt werden. EPAG gewährleistet nicht, dass der Registrierungsdienst für Domains fehlerfrei oder ununterbrochen verfügbar sein wird. Der Registrierungsdienst für Domains ist nicht für mit hohem Risiko behaftete Aktivitäten bestimmt.
24. WIDERSPRÜCHE ZU RICHTLINIEN DER REGISTRY. Falls diese Vereinbarung im Widerspruch zu Bedingungen, Richtlinien oder Verfahren einer relevanten Registry steht, hat die Bedingung, Richtlinie bzw. das Verfahren der betreffenden Registry Vorrang.
25. KEIN VERZICHT. Der Umstand, dass EPAG nicht auf die Erfüllung einer Bestimmung dieser Vereinbarung durch den Domaininhaber besteht, hat keinen Einfluss auf das uneingeschränkte Recht, diese Erfüllung zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt zu verlangen; davon abgesehen gilt der Verzicht auf die Wahrnehmung der Rechte von EPAG bei der Verletzung einer Bestimmung dieser Vereinbarung nicht als Verzicht auf die Bestimmung selbst.
26. BENACHRICHTIGUNGEN. Alle Benachrichtigungen, Anweisungen oder sonstigen Mitteilungen, die im Rahmen dieser Vereinbarung erfolgen bzw. erteilt werden, haben schriftlich durch Versand per E-Mail oder Briefpost zu erfolgen. Ein Versand per E-Mail gilt nur dann als gültige Benachrichtigung, wenn der Absender eine elektronische Bestätigung der Zustellung erhalten hat. E-Mail-Benachrichtigungen an EPAG sind an die folgenden Adresse zu senden: compliance@epag.de. Alle Benachrichtigungen an den Domaininhaber werden an die vom Domaininhaber im Whois angegebene E-Mail-Adresse gesendet. Alle Mitteilungen per E-Mail gelten als am Tag der betreffenden Mitteilung gültig und wirksam erfolgt, wenn es sich bei diesem Tag um einen Werktag handelt und die betreffende Zustellung vor 16 Uhr MEZ erfolgt ist. Ansonsten gilt die Mitteilung als am darauf folgenden Werktag zugestellt. Bei einer Benachrichtigung per Briefpost gilt eine Mitteilung als fünf (5) Werktage nach dem Versanddatum als gültig und wirksam erfolgt. Postsendungen an EPAG sind an die folgende Adresse zu senden:
EPAG Domainservices GmbH
Niebuhrstraße 16b
53113 Bonn, Germany
z. H.: Rechtliche Angelegenheiten
Postsendungen an den Domaininhaber werden an die im Whois für den „Domaininhaber“ angegebene Adresse gesendet.
27. VOLLSTÄNDIGKEITSKLAUSEL. Der Domaininhaber bestätigt, dass diese Vereinbarung, die geltende Richtlinie zu Streitigkeiten sowie die von EPAG und einer relevanten Registry oder sonstigen zuständigen Behörde veröffentlichten Regeln und Richtlinien die vollständige und ausschließliche Vereinbarung zwischen EPAG und dem Domaininhaber hinsichtlich des Domainregistrierungsdienstes darstellen.
28. KEINE DRITTBEGÜNSTIGTEN. Diese Vereinbarung darf nicht so ausgelegt werden, dass durch sie Pflichten für EPAG oder den Domaininhaber gegenüber einer Nichtvertragspartei begründet werden. Die Geltendmachung dieser Vereinbarung, einschließlich von durch Bezugnahme aufgenommenen Bestimmungen, ist allein den Vertragsparteien vorbehalten.
29. GELTENDES RECHT. DIESE VEREINBARUNG UNTERLIEGT DEN GESETZEN DES BUNDESLANDES NORDRHEIN-WESTFALEN UND DEN DARAUF ANWENDBAREN BUNDESGESETZEN DER BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND UND IST NACH DIESEN AUSZULEGEN UND DURCHZUSETZEN, UNGEACHTET IHRER RECHTSWAHLBESTIMMUNGEN. JEGLICHE KLAGE IM ZUSAMMENHANG MIT DIESEM VERTRAG IST IN BONN, DEUTSCHLAND ANZUSTRENGEN, UND SIE ERKLÄREN SICH HIERMIT UNWIDERRUFLICH MIT DER ZUSTÄNDIGKEIT DIESER GERICHTE EINVERSTANDEN.
30. MINDESTALTER. Der Domaininhaber bestätigt, dass er das gesetzliche Mindestalter zum Abschluss dieses Vertrags erreicht hat.
31. HÖHERE GEWALT. Der Domaininhaber erkennt an und erklärt sich damit einverstanden, dass weder EPAG noch die jeweilige Registry für Unterlassungen oder Verzögerungen bei der Erfüllung der jeweiligen Pflichten im Rahmen dieses Vertrags verantwortlich ist, die auf Gründen beruhen, welche sich ihrer angemessenen Kontrolle entziehen, wie etwa Höhere Gewalt, Maßnahmen einer Zivil- oder Militärbehörde, Brände, Krieg, Aufstände, Erdbeben, Stürme, Taifune oder Überschwemmungen.
32. MASSGEBLICHE SPRACHE. Falls der Domaininhaber diese Vereinbarung in einer anderen Sprache als Englisch liest, erkennt der Domaininhaber an und erklärt sich damit einverstanden, dass bei Unvereinbarkeiten oder Widersprüchen bei der Auslegung oder Übersetzung die englischsprachige Fassung dieser Vereinbarung Vorrang hat.

party.
