Terms and Conditions |

1.
Object of Agreement
Key-Systems GmbH - in the following Key- Systems -
is an official registrar for domains, accredited by Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers (in the following ICANN) as well as other national and international Registries. In this
capacity Key-Systems registers Domains on a "first come, first served" basis.
All services of Key-Systems are only accepted on the
basis of these terms and conditions, the information provided on the website, and – in case of domain
registrations - the registration rules of the appropriate registry cited in
the annex to this document.
Customers Terms and Conditions are only accepted if
Key-Systems has provided their consent in written form.
Key-Systems can modify their Terms and Conditions,
as well as their price list at any point in time. Key-Systems will notify the customer by mail or
E-Mail, unless such notification requires unreasonable efforts. The customer can object to these
modifications within 14 days starting from the notification. Should the customer object, Key-Systems
may terminate the agreement within 14 days or, at our choice, at the next possible termination date.
If the customer does not object, then the new Terms and Conditions are
accepted by the customer.
The customer is obliged to read and save these Terms and
Conditions, as well as the respective appendixes which are relevant to the customer. Key-Systems will
keep a current version of these terms and conditions available on their web pages.
The customer agrees to Key-Systems sending important
notifications by E-Mail. Therefore the address entered in the customer account has to be updated
and checked at a regular interval. Key-Systems is not responsible for customers not taking notice
of messages sent to the E-Mail address provided by the customer.
By giving an order through Key-Systems and/or by
electronic actions the customer hereby declares, that he has the power to place orders directly
himself or as the power of attorney of his organisation and that he agrees to the registration
agreement in all parts.
In case of orders for or in the name of
third parties, the customer remains the only contract partner of Key-Systems. Our terms
and conditions, contract terms and general registration rules shall also apply to the third
party; the customer ensures that third party abides by the required code of conduct and
duties.
2.
Contract
The Key-Systems webpages constitute an invitation
for customer contract applications that is subject to change. A contract can either be closed
through written or electronical confirmation of the application by Key-Systems or if the purchase
is fullfilled. Mere use of the website or confirmations of receipt of application shall not be
considered to contitute a contractual relationship with Key-Systems.
If the purchase should only partially be deliverable,
then customer will also accept a part-delivery.
The object of the agreement and scope and
description of services shall be defined by the actual contracts.
Customer is obliged to check the order
confirmation from Key-Systems and must contact Key-Systems immediately should any
mistakes be verifiable.
3.
Domain registration and renewal of registration
Key-Systems registers domains as an official
registrar accredited by ICANN. Providing or administering domains Key Systems acts however only
as a mediator between the customer and Internic or another institution or company in charge of
the administration of the central data base. It has no influence on the distribution process of
domain names. As there might be rights of a third party involved Key-Systems has no obligation
to guarantee the continuity of the existence of a registered domain.
The customer assures that the domain
name and the use of the domain does not interfere with or infringe the rights of a
third party and that there are no other legal or factual obstacles to register the
domain name, that the chosen name does not contradict morality and that the order
conforms to the registration policies of the relevant registry. Key-Systems has no
duty to verify the application in this respect.
The different Domains are administered by
various different, usually national organisations (Registries). Each of these organisations
have different terms and conditions relating to the registration of the respective Domains,
as well as the proceedings in domain name dispute matters. Key-Systems is required to pass on
these policies to their customers. Likewise, customers acting as resellers are required to oblige
their customers to follow registry policies. As far as Domains are the subject of the contract,
the additional terms and conditions of each gTLD and ccTLD apply as actual parts of the agreement.
The customer acknowledges that the registration of the domain can be revoked due to policy violations
at any time.
The customer further acknowledges that
registry policies may change at any time and that he will keep himself informed about
the current rules. Key-Systems will provide information on essential changes in their
Newsletters, and will provide a link to the most current policies on their website.
When registering or transferring a
domain the customer provides Key-Systems with the power of attorney to submit
all updates done through Key-Systems (e.g. DNS Updates, WHOIS-Updates, as well as
other domain configuration) on his behalf directly to the respective registry in real-time.
4.
Domain Name Dispute Policy and Exemptions
The customer agrees to clarify and settle
any disputes according to the Dispute Resolution Policies of the respective responsible
Organisations. These Policies can be viewed on the Website of Key-Systems. The language in
the Policies may differ depending on the mother tongue of the country.
The customer accepts that Key-Systems acts
as an accredited registrar and might be bound to lock, cancel a domain or to transfer
it to a third party - according to UDRP-regulations - if the customer does not provide
evidence within ten days after an Administrative Panel`s decision, that he has commenced
a lawsuit against the complainant in a Mutual Jurisdiction regarding the right to use the
disputed domain name.
For the adjudication of disputes concerning or arising from use of the Registered Name, the
Registered Name Holder shall submit, without prejudice to other potentially applicable jurisdictions,
to the jurisdiction of the courts (1) of the Registered Name Holder's domicile and (2)
where Registrar is located.
During a pending administrative proceeding or during
a period of fifteen (15) days after such proceeding is concluded or during a pending court proceeding
or arbitration commenced regarding the domain name the customer may not transfer the domain name
registration to a third party unless the third party agrees, in writing, to be bound by the
decision of the court or arbitrator.

.NAME REGISTRATION RESTRICTIONS
If you wish to register a .name domain, E-Mail address, or Defensive Registration, you must comply with the Eligibility Requirements applicable to the type of product you wish to register, as described below.
Generally, .name domain registrations will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis. You need to meet the following Eligibility Requirements in order to successfully register, and maintain, a .name domain or E-Mail.
- Your Own Personal Name. The name you register must be your own &qout;Personal Name&qout;, which can be either (1) your legal name, or (2) a name by which you are commonly known. A name by which you are &qout;commonly known&qout; can include, for example, a pseudonym you use if you are an author or painter, or a stage name if you are a singer or actor.
- The Personal Name of a Fictional Character. If you have trademark or service mark rights in a fictional character's Personal Name, you can register the Personal Name of that fictional character.
- Additional Characters. You also may add numeric characters to the beginning or the end of your Personal Name to differentiate it from other Personal Names. For example, if John Smith unsuccessfully attempts to register peter.morgan.name, he may seek to register an alternative, such as peter.morgan1955.name or peter1955.morgan.name.
For the next few months up to end of June 2002, .name applications will be processed in a batch process generally every 10 business days. If more than one person applies for the same .name in the same batch, that name will be allocated on a random basis.
For Defensive Registrations:
To comply with the Eligibility Requirements for Defensive Registrations, you must own valid and enforceable trademark or service mark registrations having national effect that issued prior to April 16, 2001. This means that trademark or service mark registrations from the supplemental or equivalent registry of any country, or from individual states or provinces of a nation, will not be accepted.
In addition, for the format of the Defensive Registration, the registered string:
- must be identical to the textual or word elements of the trademark or service mark,
- must use ASCII characters only, and
- must be of the same character and formatting restrictions that apply to all registrations in the .name top level domain.
Note that if a trademark or service mark registration incorporates design elements, you may register only the ASCII character portion of that mark as a Defensive Registration.
