Wild West Domains, Inc.
Domain Name Registration Agreement
This Wild West Domains, Inc. Domain Name Registration Agreement ("Agreement") is by and between Wild West Domains, Inc. ("Wild West") an Arizona Corporation and You, Your heirs, agents, successors and assigns ("You"), and is made effective as of the date of electronic execution. This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of Your use of Wild West's Domain Name Registration and represents the entire agreement between You and Wild West. By participating in this transaction, You acknowledge that You have read, understand and agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including our dispute policy, along with any new, different or additional terms, conditions or policies which Wild West may establish from time to time.
In addition to transactions entered into by You on Your behalf, You also agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement for transactions entered into on Your behalf by anyone acting as Your Agent, and transactions entered into by anyone who uses the account You've established with Wild West, whether or not the transactions were in Your behalf. You acknowledge that Wild West's acceptance of any application made by You for services provided by Wild West will take place at Wild West's offices located in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA.
You acknowledge that Wild West is a registrar bound by an agreement between Wild West and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN"). You agree that Wild West may modify this agreement in order to comply with applicable law and the terms and conditions set forth by the Internet ICANN and/or the Registry Administrator chosen by ICANN, as well as any registration rules or policies that may be published from time to time by Wild West.
1. fees
In consideration for the services and products ("service") purchased by You and provided to You by Wild West, You agree to pay Wild West at the time service is provided. Payment is to be made by You by providing either a valid credit card, an online check, or using Good as Gold to establish a cash reserve for charge by Wild West (collectively, the Payment Method). Personal checks and money orders may only be used only to fund "Good As Gold" (GAG) accounts, must be for payments of $100 or more, and issued in U.S. dollars for the full amount required at that time. Personal checks under $1,000 are subject to the same processing fees as wire transfers. All personal checks will be delayed fourteen (14) days until the money is credited, which may delay Your usage of the product or service, and any check that bounces will result in a $25 bounced check fee. If You purchase an automatically renewing service or product by personal check, it is Your responsibility to make payment arrangements for each renewal payment. Payments are non-refundable. If for any reason Wild West is unable to charge Your Payment Method for the full amount owed Wild West for the service provided, or if Wild West is charged a penalty for any fee it previously charged to your Payment Method, You agree that Wild West may pursue all available remedies in order to obtain payment. You agree that among the remedies Wild West may pursue in order to effect payment, shall include but will not be limited to, immediate cancellation without notice to You of any domain names registered or renewed on Your behalf. Wild West reserves the right to charge a reasonable service fee for administrative tasks outside the scope of its regular services. These include, but are not limited to, customer service issues that cannot be handled over email but require personal service, and disputes that require legal services. These charges will be billed to the Payment Method we have on file for You. You may change your Payment Method at any time by logging into your Account Manager.
Domain Name Renewals
When You register a domain name, You have the option to elect that the domain name be automatically renewed upon reaching the expiration date. If You elect the automatic renewal option, Wild West will automatically renew, for a period equivalent to the length of your original registration, any domain name that is up for renewal and will take payment from the Payment Method You have on file with Wild West, at Wild West's then current rates. Thus, if you have chosen to register your domain name for one year, Wild West will automatically renew it for one year. If you have chosen to register your domain name for two years, Wild West will automatically renew it for two years, and so on. Domain name renewals will be non refundable. If for any reason Wild West is not able to take the payment from the Payment Method You have on file, and You fail to respond to our notices, Your domain name registration will expire. It is Your responsibility to keep Your Payment Method information current, which includes the expiration date if you are using a credit card. If You do not elect that the domain name be automatically renewed, You have the responsibility of logging into Your account manager for that domain name and manually implementing the renewal by the expiration date (should You in fact want the domain name to be renewed). In this case, if You fail to manually implement the renewal in a timely fashion the domain name will be cancelled and You will no longer have use of that name. You agree that Wild West will not be responsible for cancelled domain names that You fail to renew, either automatically or manually. In any case, if You fail to renew Your domain name in a timely fashion, additional charges may apply. If You signed up for domain masking, domain forwarding, or any other similar service, with Your domain registration, these services may be automatically renewed when Your domain registration is up for renewal, and You may incur an additional renewal fee unless You cancel in advance.
2. term of agreement; modifications
