Domain Name Renewals
When You register a domain name, automatic renewal is the
default setting, which You must deactivate if You do not want
Your domain name(s) to be automatically renewed. For certain
ccTLDs (.am, .at, .be, .cn, .com.cn, .net.cn, .org.cn, .de, .eu,
.fm, .gs, .it, .jp, .ms, .nu, .nz, .co.nz, .net.nz, .org.nz, .tc,
.tk, .tw, .com.tw, .org.tw, .idv.tw, .uk, .co.uk, .me.uk, .org.uk,
and .vg) renewal billing will occur on the first day of the
month prior to the month of expiration. Unless You disable the
automatic renewal option, HoustonWebSales.com 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 HoustonWebSales.com, at HoustonWebSales.com
then current rates. Thus, if you have chosen to register your
domain name for one (1) year, HoustonWebSales.com will
automatically renew it for one (1) year. If You have chosen to
register Your domain name for two (2) years,
HoustonWebSales.com will automatically renew it for two (2)
years, and so on. Domain name renewals will be non-refundable.
If for any reason HoustonWebSales.com 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 ludes 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 the Domain Manager portion of
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). If You fail to
manually implement the renewal before the expiration date, the
domain name will be cancelled and You will no longer have use
of that name.
For certain ccTLDs (.am, .at, .be, .cn, .com.cn, .net.cn, .org.cn,
.de, .eu, .fm, .gs, .it, .jp, .ms, .nu, .nz, .co.nz, .net.nz,
.org.nz, .tc, .tk, .tw, .com.tw, .org.tw, .idv.tw, .uk, .co.uk,
.me.uk, .org.uk, and .vg) You must renew no later than the
20th of the month prior to the expiration date, or Your domain
name will be placed on non-renewal status. When the domain
name is in non-renewal status, You can renew the domain name
only by calling HoustonWebSales.com and requesting that the
domain name be renewed. You cannot renew the domain name
through your Account Manager . If You fail to manually
implement the renewal before the expiration date, the domain
name will be cancelled and You will no longer have use of that
name.
You agree that HoustonWebSales.com will not be
responsible for cancelled domain names that You fail to renew,
either automatically or manually in the timeframes indicated
in this Agreement. 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 will be automatically renewed when Your domain
registration is up for renewal, and You will ur the applicable
additional renewal fee unless You cancel in advance.
If You fail to renew Your domain name in the timeframes
indicated in this Agreement, You agree that
HoustonWebSales.com may, at its sole discretion, renew Your
expired domain name on Your behalf. If HoustonWebSales.com
decides to renew Your expired domain name on Your behalf, You
will have a Renewal Grace Period during which You may
reimburse HoustonWebSales.com for the renewal and keep Your
domain name. The Renewal Grace Period is currently twelve (12)
days but subject to change under the terms of Section 2 of
this Agreement. For certain ccTLDs (.am, .at, .be, .cn, .com.cn,
.net.cn, .org.cn, .de, .eu, .fm, .gs, .it, .jp, .ms, .nu, .nz,
.co.nz, .net.nz, .org.nz, .tc, .tk, .tw, .com.tw, .org.tw, .idv.tw,
.uk, .co.uk, .me.uk, .org.uk, and .vg) there is no Renewal
Grace Period after the expiration date of the domain. If You
do not reimburse HoustonWebSales.com for the renewal during
the Renewal Grace Period Your domain name will be placed on
Hold and flagged for deletion after which You will have a
30-day redemption period during which You may pay
HoustonWebSales.com a Redemption fee and redeem Your domain
name. The Redemption fee is currently $80 USD and is subject
to change under the terms of Section 2 of this Agreement. If
You do not redeem Your domain name prior to the end of the

sole discretion, delete Your domain name or transfer it to
another registrant on Your behalf.

The registered domain name will be used primarily for bona
fide business or commercial purposes and not (i) exclusively
for personal use; or (ii) solely for the purposes of (1)
selling, trading or leasing the domain name for
compensation, or (2) the unsolicited offering to sell, trade
or lease the domain name for compensation. More information
on the .BIZ restrictions, which are corporated and herein by
reference, are available online.
-
The domain name registrant has the authority to enter into
the registration agreement; and
-
The registered domain name is reasonably related to the
registrant's business or intended commercial purpose at the
time of registration.
Domain Name Dispute Policy
If You reserved or registered a .BIZ domain name through
us, You agree to be bound by our current domain name dispute
policy that is corporated and herein and made a part of this
Agreement by reference. Please take the time to familiarize
Yourself with that policy. In addition, You hereby acknowledge
that You have read and understood and agree to be bound by the
terms and conditions of the following documents, as they may
be amended from time to time, which are hereby corporated and
and made an integral part of this Agreement:
-
The Uniform Domain Name Dispute Policy;
-
The Start-up Trademark Opposition Policy ("STOP"); and
-
The Restrictions Dispute Resolution Criteria and Rules.
The STOP sets forth the terms and conditions in connection
with a dispute between a registrant of a .BIZ domain name
("Registrant") with any third party (other than Registry
Operator or Registrar) over the registration or use of a .BIZ
domain name registered by Registrant that is subject to the
Intellectual Property Claim Service. The Intellectual Property
Claim Service is a service introduced by Registry Operator to
notify a trademark or service mark holder ("Claimant") that a
second-level domain name has been registered in which that
Claimant claims intellectual property rights. In accordance
with the STOP and its associated Rules, those Claimants will
have the right to challenge registrations through independent
ICANN-accredited dispute resolution providers.
The UDRP sets forth the terms and conditions in connection
with a dispute between a Registrant and any party other than
the Registry Operator or Registrar over the registration and
use of an Internet domain name registered by Registrant.
The RDRP sets forth the terms under which any allegation
that a domain name is not used primarily for business or
commercial purposes shall be enforced on a case-by-case, fact
specific basis by an independent ICANN-accredited dispute
provider. None of the violations of the Restrictions will be
enforced directly by or through Registry Operator. Registry
Operator will not review, monitor, or otherwise verify that
any particular domain name is being used primarily for
business or commercial purposes or that a domain name is being
used in compliance with the SUDRP or UDRP processes.
Domain Name Dispute Policy Modifications
You agree that we, in our sole discretion, may modify our
dispute policy. We will post any such revised policy on our
web site at least thirty (30) calendar days before it becomes
effective. You agree that, by maintaining the reservation or
registration of Your domain name after modifications to the
dispute policy become effective, You have agreed to these
modifications. You acknowledge that if You do not agree to any
such modification, You may terminate this Agreement. We will
not refund any fees paid by You if You terminate Your
Agreement with us.
Domain Name Disputes
You agree that, if Your use of our domain name registration
services is challenged by a third party, You will be subject
to the provisions specified in our dispute policy in effect at
the time of the dispute. You agree that in the event a domain
name dispute arises with any third party, You will indemnify
and hold us harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions set
forth below in this Agreement. If we are notified that a
complaint has been filed with a judicial or administrative
body regarding Your use of our domain name registration
services, You agree not to make any changes to Your domain
name record without our prior approval. We may not allow You
to make changes to such domain name record until (i) we are
directed to do so by the judicial or administrative body, or
(ii) we receive notification by You and the other party
contesting Your registration and use of our domain name
registration services that the dispute has been settled.
Furthermore, You agree that if You are subject to litigation
regarding Your registration and use of our domain name
registration services, we may deposit control of Your domain
name record into the registry of the judicial body by
supplying a party with a registrar certificate from us.
