2.00 Domain Names and Registration Services.

2.01 At your request, Brinkster may acquire a Second-Level domain Name ("Domain Name"), on your behalf and in your name, assuming that the Domain Name you request is available for registration. Brinkster will not own or otherwise legally control any Domain Name registered on your behalf under this Section. Brinkster provides this service as a convenience to you only and you hereby waive any and all claims which you may have, or which may later arise, against Brinkster for any and all damages, losses, claims or expenses arising or related to the acquisition, registration and/or use of the Domain Name. Any costs incurred by Brinkster to obtain and/or maintain the Domain Name on your behalf shall be charged to you by Brinkster at an amount determined by Brinkster, at their sole discretion. If a domain name expires, you have 16 days grace period from the date of expiration to renew the domain at the regular renewal fee.

This paragraph shall apply to any and all web pages generated by Brinkster, whether in connection with HTML standard response codes or otherwise, including but not limited to 404 error pages.

2.03 Domain Names may be registered by Brinkster on your behalf through a variety of Domain Name Registration services (each a "Registrar"). Brinkster acts only as an intermediary between you and the organization providing the domain name, and has no influence over the assignment of domain names. The registration of your domain name is subject to the terms and conditions of those third party registers. In particular, registration of Domain Names binds you to the terms of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy ("UDRP"), which governs the resolution of most disputes regarding the registration of Domain Names.

2.04 You warrant to Brinkster that any Domain Name you may seek to register through Brinkster does not violate the rights of any third party, in particular trademark rights, and that you have taken reasonable steps, including but not limited to searches of the applicable state and federal trademark registries, to assure that this is the case. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Brinkster, its officers, directors, employees and agents, with respect to any and all damages, losses, claims or expenses incurred with respect to or arising out of claims of third parties concerning your use of any such Domain Name on the Internet.

2.05 You agree to inform Brinkster of any proceeding instituted by any party challenging your rights to use any Domain Name hosted on Brinkster servers, including but not limited to disputes under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy ("UDRP"), within five days of notification of the same. You shall provide Brinkster notice of any negotiations with third parties with respect to ownership and/or intellectual property rights to your domain name within five days of the commencement of such negotiation. Should you for any reason lose your right to use a Domain Name hosted on the Brinkster Servers, through expiration of the registration of the Domain Name, judicial decree, and or administrative decision under the UDRP or otherwise, you agree to immediately inform Brinkster of such loss of rights. To the extent your loss of rights to a Domain Name is accompanied by any judicial decree or administrative decision granting rights to the Domain Name to a third party, you agree to immediately inform Brinkster in writing of the identity of the party to whom such rights are to be transferred, as well as of any other information regarding the nature and scope of the decision of the judicial body or administrative panel that rendered the decision.

2.06 You agree and understand that Brinkster may, should your rights to a Domain Name be challenged in any way, suspend the Brinkster services associated with such Domain Name and take any and all actions required under any such proceeding, including but not limited to actions required under the UDRP.

2.07 As more completely set forth in Section 18, you waive any and all claims you may have, now and forever, against Brinkster relating to the registration, use, and subsequent transfers of your domain name and agree to indemnify and hold harmless Brinkster from and against any such claims. You agree that Brinkster's entire liability to you under this agreement, and your only remedy, in connection with any service provided by Brinkster, to you under this agreement, and for any breach of this agreement by Brinkster shall be limited to the fees you paid to Brinkster for the particular service in contention. Brinkster and its agents and contractors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect incidental, special, or consequential damages resulting from the use of or inability to use any of Brinkster's services or for the cost of obtaining substitute services. Brinkster’s liability shall be limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.

2.08 Brinkster may suspend performance and or services under this Agreement or terminate this Agreement and Your account, cease transmission of data associated with your domain name immediately and without notice, and take any other actions it deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to comply with the relevant laws if it is informed or otherwise believes, in its sole discretion, that your domain name violates the intellectual property rights of any third party or is otherwise the subject of a dispute.

2.09 If Brinkster offers Domains free with a package, it is only intended for the terms listed, and at the maximum for one year. Domains auto renew on a yearly basis, with the domain fee being charged to the customer’s account at the time of renewal. You acknowledge and agree to pay for all charges and fees relating to your domain name renewal.

This may result in an additional payment due. Dedicated server, semi-dedicated and cloud services that are terminated prior to the end of the initial term are subject to a $49 per server termination fee.

5.10 If Brinkster cancels a customer’s account prior to the end of the Term for the customer’s breach of the Terms of Service and related agreements, the Customer's use of the services will disrupt and Brinkster shall not refund to customer any fees paid in advance of such cancellation with customer being obligated to pay all fees and charges accrued prior to the effectiveness of such cancellation; further, customer shall be obligated to pay 100% of all charges for all services for each month remaining in the Term.

5.12 Should a customer decide to cancel an account within the initial 90 day period, the customer will receive a full refund of prepaid hosting fees, less any Domain registration fees that Brinkster has incurred to date as part of a promotion or separate charges, (“90 day money back guarantee”). Any upgrade of the initial account by customer within the initial 90 day period will be considered a waiver of the money back guarantee and an acceptance of the then current rates and fees. Brinkster also considers that customers switching from any existing Brinkster package, or adding additional services have already experienced the 90-day Money Back Guarantee. The renewal of the initial period is considered a waiver of the money back guarantee with each customer only being allowed to use the Money Back Guarantee once, and for only one account. Any customer whose account has been suspended or terminated due to the breach of any part of the Brinkster Terms of Services including but not limited to Section 5.07 and Section 7 has automatically forfeited the right to use the Brinkster Money Back Guarantee. To be considered valid, all money back guarantee requests must be e-mailed to Billing@Brinkster.com within 90 days of the customer’s account being signed up, and must be accompanied by a dissatisfaction explanation. If such money back guarantee request is after the aforementioned 90 days, the money back guarantee will be null and void, and Brinkster will not be liable for any or all refunds under this section. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the aforementioned 90 day money back guarantee will under no circumstances apply to the Website Design Studio services, Website Design Studio packages, any Professional Services performed, Domain Name fees, services sold by or through Brinkster but provided by a third party, Semi-Dedicated Servers and Dedicated Servers. This guarantee is also limited to a maximum refund amount of $300.

5.14 By accepting a promotional offer that includes a dedicated server, customer is required to continue paying for the accompanying service for a period of 12 months following the promotional period. If service is canceled, customer will be required to pay a cancellation fee equal to the retail value of the discounted portion of the service. This section does not apply to the TryIT Program.

5.15 You may elect to purchase Brinkster Cloud Services as part of the Services Brinkster provides to you.
