Additional terms and conditions for the registration of .biz domains
(Registration Agreement)

The registration of .biz domains globally follows the prescribed set of terms and conditions specified by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and NeuLevel Inc. being the authoritative registry. These rules are incorporated into the registration agreement as follows:

1. Restrictions for .biz domains

Domains with the TLD (top level domain) .biz are reserved for business or commercial use. They shall not be registered or used exclusively for personal use or solely for the purpose of selling, trading or leasing the domain name for compensation or the unsolicited offering to sell, trade or lease the domain name for compensation.
Therefore then domain name needs to be reasonably related to the registrants business or intended commercial purpose at the time of application.
It is the registrants personal responsibility to comply with these restrictions. None of the other companies or persons involved in the registration process will verify this in any way.

2. Miscellaneous

2.1.

The domain holder guarantees that neither the registration of the domain name nor the manner in which it is used infringes the legal rights of any third party or any applicable laws and regulations.
The domain holder shall indemnify and hold harmless his provider, 1&1 Internet AG, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), NeuLevel Inc. and its subcontractors, and the members, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of each of them and all other persons involved in the registration process from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising out of or related to the domain holder's domain name registration or the use of the domain by the domain holder or by third parties with his consent. This indemnification obligation shall survive the termination or expiration of the registration agreement.

2.2.

All .biz domains under these conditions are registered by 1&1 Internet AG as accredited registrar. Should a domain be registered incorrectly by 1&1 Internet AG or any other person involved in the registration process, e.g. not according to the order, domain holder hereby irrevocably consents to all necessary measures being taken for the correction of such mistake. Such measures may e. g. be suspension, cancelation, transfer or any other appropriate and equal action.

2.3.

A change of registrars for the domain is not possible during the first 60 days after initial registration of the domain with the registrar. In inp1idual cases this may lead to restrictions for the change between different hosting providers.

3. Dispute Policies for .biz domains

For disputes over the rights to domains, a worldwide Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) has been developed by ICANN and adopted by all accredited registrars. All .biz domains are governed by this UDRP.
NeuLevel has developed additional Dispute Policies, explicitly the Start-up Trademark Opposition Policy (STOP), also known as Start-up Dispute Resolution Policy (SUDRP) and the Restrictions Dispute Resolution Policy (RDRP).

3.1.

Domain holder hereby agrees that all disputes on the rights to .biz domains, especially arising out of trademarks, names or other intellectual property rights, shall be governed by the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) which can be found at http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp-policy-24oct99.htm
In the administrative proceeding under UDRP initiated by the domain holder or a third person it is the domain holder's responsibility to conduct the proceedings and defend his rights. Domain holder acknowledges and accepts that 1&1 Internet AG as accredited registrar shall implement the UDRP decision and cancel or transfer the domain to a third person according to the decision unless domain holder proves to 1&1 Internet AG and NeuLevel within 10 days after their information that he has commenced a lawsuit at a competent court to clarify the right to use the domain.

3.2.

While a court proceeding or arbitration for trademark, names or other intellectual property rights or administrative proceeding under UDRP is pending and for a period of fifteen days after the final decision in such process the domain holder may not transfer the domain to a third person unless this person agrees in writing to be bound to the decision in the same way as the domain holder.
The Registrant acknowledges having read and understood and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the following documents, as they may be amended from time to time, which are hereby incorporated and made an integral part of this Agreement:

• Start-up Trademark Opposition Policy (SUDRP) / Start-up Dispute Resolution Policy (STOP)
• Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP)
• Restrictions Dispute Resolution Policy (RDRP)

3.3.

ICANN reserves the right to modify the UDRP at any time. 1&1 Internet AG as accredited registrar shall implement any such revision speedily and these will become binding upon the domain holder. The revised version will be posted at least thirty calendar days before it becomes effective under the URL: http://www.icann.org/udrp/

3.4.

It is pointed out NeuLevel reserves the right to deny, cancel or transfer any registration that it deems necessary, in its discretion

• to protect the integrity and stability of the registry,
• to comply with applicable laws, government rules or requirements, requests of law enforcement,
• to comply with dispute Resolution Policies,
• to avoid any liability, civil or criminal,
• for violations of the Registration Agreement.
