DISPUTE POLICY
12.1. When you register or
have registered on your behalf a domain name
through the Total Registrations service you
agree to be bound by our current Domain Name
Dispute Policy located at
www.totalregistrations.com. Total Registrations
has adopted the ICANN Formulated Uniform Dispute
Resolution Policy, but you hereby agree that
Total Registrations shall have the ability to
change this policy or introduce a new policy and
to vary any future policy at its discretion by
giving 30 calendar days notice on your account
homepage. You agree that if the Domain Name
Dispute Policy is modified during the term of
your registration, you will be bound by its new
contents. You acknowledge that if you do not
agree to any such modifications, then your only
remedy will be to terminate the Registration
Agreement within such 30 day notice period by
notice in writing to us forthwith, without
refund. Any unused portion of credit funds
available in your Account will be refunded in
these circumstances. The purpose of the UDRP is
to set forth the terms and conditions which
shall govern a dispute between a registrant and
any other party (expressly excluding the
Registry Operator for the domain in question and
Total Registrations) over the registration and
use of a domain name registered by a registrant.
13. DOMAIN NAME
DISPUTES
13.1. By using the Total
Registrations service you agree to be subject to
the provisions set forth in our Domain Name
Dispute Policy from time to time applying, which
is hereby incorporated in the Registration
Agreement. Should any third party dispute your
right to any domain name registered by us for
you or on your behalf, Total Registrations is
given full rights by you to suspend during a
dispute the ability to make modifications to the
domain contact details. Full rights to modify
such details will only be re-instated once proof
has been supplied by both parties to the dispute
or an administrative or judicial body that the
dispute has been resolved and, if such
administrative or judicial body requires the
cancellation or transfer to any third party of
the domain name in dispute or modification of
any details relating to the domain name, then
you agree to our carrying out such cancellation,
transfer or modification without liability or
refund of any monies to you. By making use of
our Domain Name Dispute Policy, you agree to
indemnify and hold harmless Total Registrations
from any litigation arising out of a dispute as
to the ownership or use of any domain name, save
for any litigation which is wholly attributable
to the serious negligence or wilful default of
Total Registrations.
14. LIMITATION OF
LIABILITY

clause shall be taken to exclude or limit the

for any other liability which cannot validly be

rights as a Consumer.

our reasonable control, which shall include but
not be limited to any decision of any Registry
Operator.
15. GUARANTEE OF
OWNERSHIP & USAGE
15.1. You agree that by

are more extensive or different in nature to
those stated by ICANN or other Naming Committee
bodies or found by applicable law to exist in
domain names. Further, you acknowledge that your
domain name may be objected to by a third party
or court of law and therefore the rights to the
name may be cancelled or transferred to another
party should it be found that they have a legal
right to its ownership or to object to its
registration or use. Your rights in respect of
the domain name shall cease in any case when the
domain fees have not been received by Total
Registrations by the due date for renewal of the
name and the domain will be deemed expired and
be released back into the domain pool for
re-registration by another registrant. Usage of
a domain name shall be unrestricted unless a
domain is involved in a legal dispute or in
Total Registrations' reasonable opinion it
appears likely to be so or payment for the
domain name has not been received.

domain name.

breach of any of your obligations under these

of your account with us without prejudice to the
right of Total Registrations to terminate this
Agreement in the event of material breach on
your part or any other rights or remedies which
