Domain Selection
You acknowledge and agree that we can not guarantee that you will obtain a desired domain name, even if an inquiry indicates that a domain name is available at the time of your application.
You represent, to the best of your knowledge and belief, that any domain name(s) registered on your behalf, nor the manner in which you intend to use it, infringes upon the legal or moral rights of a third party. And that at no time will the registered domain name(s) be used at any time for any unlawful purpose.
Domain Ownership
We acknowledge that you retain all rights, ownership and obligations of the domain name(s) we manage on your behalf.
Domain Access
We will hold your services within one of our own that may or may not be used to hold other accounts. As such you will not have direct access to these accounts including but not limited to DNS servers, hosting files, or other related services.
To update any information in these areas please submit a request through your Client Dashboard or via email.
Domain Transfer
Transfering to Us
To transfer a domain you already own into our services we may request access to your registrar account, we acknowledge and agree to only use this access to facilitate a smooth transfer of the domain(s) you have requested and are not responsible for closing or otherwise updating your account.
If you currently have another party holding your domain(s) or hosting, you agree and acknowledge that you are responsible for notifying them of the pending transfer and requesting the “Registrar Lock” on the related domain(s) is removed. We may provide a sample email you may forward to them also granting us the right or opportunity to communicate with them on your behalf.
Transfering Away From Us
You agree and understand that we will place a “Registrar Lock” on your domain name service(s) that will prevent your domain name(s) from being transferred without your authorization, though we are not required to do so. By allowing your domain name services to stay locked, you provide express objection to any and all transfer requests until the lock is removed.
If at any time you wish to transfer your domain(s) to another service a written request must be received either by registered mail or email. Within one business day of receipt, we will remove the “Registrar Lock” and acknowledge that the domain may be transferred at your convenience.
The only exception to this being during the period of 30 days immediately after the initial purchase of a new domain, or 30 days after the renewal of an existing domain.
Governing Policies for Transfers
You further agree that the transfer of Dot-ca domain(s) services shall be governed by CIRA’s transfer policy, available at http:/www.cira.ca, and that the Non Dot-ca domain(s) transfer will be governed by ICANN’s transfer policy available at http://icann.org/transfers/.
Once your domain name “Registrar Lock” is removed it may take up to 5 business days for the domain to transfer to your account.
Hosted Content Ownership
Unless otherwise stated in another contract with us, any files hosted on your behalf belong to you.
Hosted Content Access

You agree that we will maintain a separate administrator level access login details to facilitate your services with us and that you will not change, remove or otherwise modify our access account or permision levels.
