DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION
We do not warrant or guarantee that the domain name

take no action in respect of your requested domain
name(s) until you have been notified that your requested
domain name has been registered.
The registration of the domain name and its ongoing
use is subject to the relevant naming authority's terms
and conditions of use and you are responsible for ensuring
that you are aware of those terms and conditions and
can and do comply with them. You irrevocably waive
any claims you may have against us in respect of the
decision of a naming authority to refuse to register
a domain name and, without limitation agree that
the administration charge paid by you to us shall
be non-refundable in any event.
We accept no responsibility in respect of the use of
a domain name by you and any dispute between you and
any other individual or organisation regarding a
domain name must be resolved between the parties concerned
and we will take no part in any such dispute. We reserve
the right, on our becoming aware of such a dispute,
at our sole discretion and without giving any reason,
to either suspend or cancel the domain name, and/or
to make appropriate representations to the relevant
naming authority.
