This Registration Agreement (“Agreement”), is between Ascio Technologies, Inc. Danmark – Filial af Ascio Technologies, Inc. USA, a branch of a Canadian corporation with its principal place of business in Copenhagen, Denmark (hereafter “Ascio”); and you, on behalf of yourself or the entity you represent ("Registrant"), as offered through the Reseller participating in Ascio’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 Ascio’s obligations to Registrant and Registrant's obligations to Ascio 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.
Domain Name Registration. Domain name registrations are for a limited term which ends on the expiration date as communicated to Registrant. A domain name submitted through Ascio will be deemed active when the relevant registry accepts Registrant’s application and activates Registrant’s domain name registration or renewal. Ascio cannot guarantee that Registrant will obtain a desired domain name, even if an inquiry indicates that a domain name is available at the time of application. Ascio is not responsible for any inaccuracies or errors in the domain name registration or renewal process.
Fees. Registrant agrees to pay Reseller the applicable service fees prior to the registration or renewal of a domain. All fees payable here under are non-refundable even if Registrant’s domain name registration is suspended, cancelled, or transferred prior to the end of the then-current registration term.
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.
Expiration, Renewal, and Forfeiture. The registered domain name will expire on the expiration date specified in the registration term, as communicated to Registrant. Registrant may receive reminders prior to expiration, inviting Registrant to renew the domain name. In the event that Registrant fails to renew the domain name in a timely fashion, the registration will expire and Ascio 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. During the period following the expiration of a domain name, the domain name will cease to resolve, the registration records may be revised to include that of Ascio, an affiliate, 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 Ascio 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 Ascio, in 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.
Expired Registration Recovery Policy. Domain expiration notices will be sent via email thirty (30) days and five (5) days prior to a domain expiration date and three (3) days after a domain expires. Renewal, post-expiration renewal, and redemptions fees will apply. Reseller's fees may differ.
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:
The Minimum Data will be shared with Ascio 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 at https://www.ascio.com/policies/data-use-information/.
Accurate Information. Registrant represents and warrants that:
Registrant acknowledges that a breach of this section will constitute a material breach of the Agreement, which will entitle either Ascio or a registry to terminate this Agreement immediately upon such breach without any refund and without notice to Registrant.
Account Review, Data Modification, or Deletion. To access, view, update, delete or download data associated with your domain name registration, you must be signed into your account. If you make a request to delete your personal data and that data is necessary for the products or services you have purchased, the request will be honored only to the extent it is no longer necessary for any services purchased or required for our legitimate business purposes or legal or contractual record keeping requirements. In some cases, when data is necessary for the provisioning of service, deletion of data may cancel or suspend the services you have purchased. If you have difficulty accessing your data, modifying it, or deleting it, you may request assistance by sending email to DPA @ ascio . com or using the contact information at https://www.ascio.com/policies/privacy-policy/ .
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. Both Ascio and the registry operator may be required to archive this information with a third-party escrow service. 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 Ascio may or must make available to the public or to private entities, and the manner in which such information is made available.
Suspension and Cancellation. Ascio may in its sole discretion, suspend or cancel Registrant's domain name registration:
Dispute Resolution. Registrant is bound by all ICANN consensus policies and all policies of any relevant registry operator, including the Uniform Rapid Suspension Procedure (URS), the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution policy (UDRP), along with the ICANN rules and all supplemental rules of any URS or UDRP provider. ICANN may change the URS or 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 Ascio harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the applicable policy. If Ascio is notified that a complaint has been filed with a judicial or administrative body regarding a domain name, Ascio may, at its sole discretion, suspend use of the domain name and the ability to make modifications to the registration records until:
If Registrant or Registrant's domain name becomes the subject of litigation, Ascio may suspend control of Registrant's domain name pending outcome of the dispute.
Whois Privacy Service. If Registrant elects to use the Whois privacy registration service, the following terms and conditions will apply:
Policy. Registrant agrees that its registration of the domain name shall be subject to suspension, cancellation, or transfer pursuant to any Ascio, registry, ICANN, or government-adopted policy, or pursuant to any registrar or registry procedure not inconsistent with an Ascio, registry, ICANN, or government-adopted policy, to correct mistakes by Ascio or a registry in registering the name or for the resolution of disputes concerning the domain name.
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.
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.
Modifications to Agreement. Ascio 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 and become effective upon posting. 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.
Announcements. Ascio reserves the right to distribute information to Registrant that is required by ICANN or registry policy.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. REGISTRANT AGREES THAT ASCIO’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. ASCIO, 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.
Indemnity. Registrant will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Ascio, 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
This indemnification obligation will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
Transfer of Ownership. The person named as Registrant on record with Ascio shall be the “Registered Name Holder.” If designated, 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 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 Ascio in its sole discretion) to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, any such transfer will be null and void. Registrant explicitly authorizes Ascio to act as their Designated Agent, as stipulated by the ICANN Transfer Policy, to approve a Change of Registrant on their behalf.
Breach. Registrant agrees that failure to abide by any provision of this Agreement, any ICANN, registry, URS, UDRP, or dispute operating rule or policy, may be considered by Ascio to be a material breach, and that Ascio 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 Ascio, that Registrant has not breached its obligations under the Agreement, then Ascio may delete the domain name. Any such breach by Registrant shall not be deemed to be excused simply because Ascio did not act earlier in response to that, or any other, breach by Registrant.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES IN THIS AGREEMENT, ASCIO DOES NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OR MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. ASCIO IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR THE DELETION OF OR FAILURE TO STORE ANY CONTENT OR OTHER COMMUNICATION MAINTAINED OR TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE USE OF THE DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION SERVICE. ASCIO 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.
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. Ascio 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 Ascio of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself.
Notices. Any notice, direction or other communication given under this Agreement shall be in writing and given by sending it via email or via regular mail. In the case of email, valid notice shall only have been deemed to be given when an electronic confirmation of delivery has been obtained by the sender. Any notice to Registrant will be sent to the email address provided by Registrant and recorded by Ascio in the Whois record. Any email communication shall be deemed to have been validly and effectively given on the date of such communication, if such date is a Working Day and such delivery was made prior to 1600UTC, otherwise it will be deemed to have been delivered on the next Working Day. Any postal communication to you will be sent to the address specified by you and recorded by Ascio in the Whois record. Postal notice shall be deemed to have been validly and effectively given five (5) Working Days after the date of mailing.
Entirety. Registrant agrees that this Agreement, the applicable dispute policies, and the rules and policies published by Ascio and any applicable registry or other governing authority, are the complete and exclusive Agreement between Ascio and Registrant regarding the domain registration service.
No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not be construed to create any obligation by either Ascio or Registrant to any non-party to this Agreement. Enforcement of this Agreement, including any provisions incorporated by reference, is a matter solely for the parties to this Agreement.
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of Denmark, which apply without regard to any conflict of laws rules. Any action relating to this agreement must be brought in Denmark and you irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of such courts.
Infancy. You attest that you are of legal age to enter into this Agreement.
Force Majeure. Registrant acknowledges and agrees that neither Ascio nor the applicable registry shall be responsible for any failures or delays in performing the respective obligations hereunder arising from any cause beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to, acts of God, acts of civil or military authority, fire, war, riot, plague, pandemic, epidemic, earthquake, storm, typhoon, and flood.

Support for DNSSEC. We allow you to add DNSSEC on your domain upon request by relaying orders to add, remove or change public key material (e.g., DNSKEY or DS resource records) on your behalf to Registries operating under contract with ICANN that support DNSSEC. Additional fees may apply.
