Domain Name Registration Agreement
This Domain Name Registration Agreement ("Agreement") sets forth the terms and conditions of your use of
Blue Gravity Hosting to register an Internet domain name and/or to transfer a domain name from another registrar
to Blue Gravity Hosting. To complete the registration process, you must read and agree to be bound by all terms
and conditions of this Agreement and any rules or policies that are or may be published by Blue Gravity Hosting.
By submitting your registration and service request, you agree to be bound by all terms and conditions of this
Agreement. You acknowledge that Blue Gravity Hosting may modify or amend this Agreement at anytime.
1. Our Services
Blue Gravity Hosting is a reseller for an accredited registrar with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
("ICANN") for Top Level Domain Names (TLDs), currently .com, .net, .org, .biz, and .info. ICANN oversees
registrations and other aspects of the TLDs. As an accredited domain name registrar, Omnis Network, LLC is,
upon accepting your domain name registration application, your sponsor for that application.
All domain name registrations we register for TLDs are not effective until we have delivered the domain name registration
information you provide us to the registry administrator for the TLDs, as applicable, and the registry administrator
puts into effect your domain name registration. Currently, the registry administrator for the .com and .net TLDs is
VeriSign Global Registry Services. The registry administrator for the .info TLD is Afilias Limited ("Afilias").
The registry administrator for the .biz TLD is Neulevel.
You agree and acknowledge that Blue Gravity Hosting is not liable or responsible in any way for any errors, omissions
or any other actions by the registry administrator arising out of or related to your application and receipt of, or
failure to receive, a domain name registration.
You further agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the registry administrator and their directors, officers,
employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including any
direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages and reasonable legal fees and expenses) arising out of,
or related to, your domain name registration.
2. Security
Blue Gravity Hosting uses a user name/password protection system to identify individuals authorized to maintain domain names.
This user name/password combination will be absolutely required to make any modifications and renewals to the domain
name registration. This information will be emailed upon request to the email address on record for the user account
associated with the domain name registration. It is the responsibility of the user to keep the contact information on
record up to date. You agree and acknowledge that Blue Gravity Hosting is not liable or responsible in any way for domain name
cancellations or related actions resulting from incorrect contact information.
3. Fees
As consideration for the domain name registration services provided by Blue Gravity Hosting, you agree to pay Blue Gravity Hosting,
prior to the effectiveness of the desired domain name registration, all applicable initial registration and renewal fees.
All fees are nonrefundable, in whole or in part, even if your domain name registration is suspended, cancelled or
transferred prior to the end of your then current registration term. Blue Gravity Hosting reserves the right to change fees,
surcharges, and renewal fees or to institute new fees at anytime, for any reason, at its sole discretion.
Your requested domain name will not be registered until Blue Gravity Hosting receives actual payment of the registration,
renewal and reinstatement fees as applicable. In the event of a chargeback by a credit card company or similar action
by any payment provider allowed by Blue Gravity Hosting in connection with the payment of the registration fee for your domain
name registration, you agree and acknowledge that the domain name registration shall be transferred to Blue Gravity Hosting as
the paying entity for that registration to the registry and that we reserve all rights regarding such domain name
including, without limitation, the right to make the domain name available to other parties for purchase. We will
reinstate your domain name registration solely at our discretion and subject to our receipt of the initial registration
or renewal fee and any reinstatement fees we may charge.
4. Renewal
You will be notified via email to the email address on record as the billing contact at regular intervals beginning
sixty (60) days before the registered domain name expiration. Payment must be made by credit card or such other method
as we may indicate in the registration application or renewal form. Should renewal fees go unpaid beyond the domain
name's expiration date or within the time specified in a notice or reminder regarding renewal, your registration will
be cancelled.
Cancelled registration will result in the deletion of the registered domain name from the applicable registry. Deleted
domain names may enter a Redemption Grace Period status. The Redemption Grace Period provides an opportunity to restore
the domain name and retain ownership. Restoration from the Redemption Grace Period may require a fee in addition to the
registration and renewal fee and must be paid prior to a domain name being restored from Redemption Grace Period.
You agree and acknowledge that Blue Gravity Hosting is not liable or responsible in any way for domain name cancellations or
related actions resulting from our inability to notify you of the domain name renewal because of incorrect contact
information or your failure to renew a domain name registration before the expiration date for any reason.
5. Domain Name Dispute Policy
You agree to submit to proceedings under ICANN's Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy that is incorporated
herein and made a part of this Agreement by reference. The current version of the dispute policy may be found at ICANN's
website: http://www.icann.org/udrp/. This policy has been developed by ICANN and/or the specific Registration Administrator
and is a required component of every registration agreement. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with this policy.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ICANN, Blue Gravity Hosting, Registry Administrators and their respective
directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses,
including reasonable legal fees and expenses arising out of or related to your domain name registration and any disputes
regarding same.
6. Modifications to the Domain Name Registration Agreement and Dispute Policy
You acknowledge that the domain name system and the practice of registering and administering domain names are evolving and,
therefore, you agree that Blue Gravity Hosting may modify this Agreement and the Dispute Policy if necessary to comply with its ICANN
Agreement, and any other Agreements that Blue Gravity Hosting is currently bound by or will be bound by in the future, as well as to
adjust to changing business circumstances. Such modifications will be at the sole discretion of Blue Gravity Hosting. Your continued
use of the domain name registered to you shall constitute your acceptance of this Agreement and the Dispute Policy with the
new modifications. If you do not agree to any of such changes, you may request that your domain name registration be cancelled
or transferred to a different domain name registrar. You agree that such cancellation or request for transfer will be your
exclusive remedy if you do not wish to abide by any changes to this Agreement or the Dispute Policy.
7. Registration Information
You agree to submit all contact information requested during the domain name registration process. Blue Gravity Hosting's agreement
with ICANN and the registry administrators, requires the collection of this contact information. You further agree to
immediately validate and update the registration information for the domain name during the registration term of the domain
name when changes are made or upon notification from Blue Gravity Hosting to do so. Willful provision of inaccurate or unreliable
information, failure to update registration information or respond within fifteen (15) calendar days to a request to validate
registration information shall constitute a breach of this Agreement and will result in the cancellation or suspension of the
domain name registration.
8. Disclosure and Use of Registration Information
You agree and acknowledge that Blue Gravity Hosting will make available domain name registration information you provide or that we
otherwise maintain to ICANN, to the registry administrators, and to other third parties as ICANN and applicable laws may require.
You further agree and acknowledge that Blue Gravity Hosting may make publicly available, or directly available to third party vendors,
some, or all, of the domain name registration information you provide, for purposes of inspection (such as through our WHOIS
service) or for targeted marketing and other purposes as required or permitted by ICANN and applicable laws.
When registering a domain name under the .info TLD, you consent to the use, copying, distribution, publication, modification,
and other processing of registration information you provide by Afilias and it designees and agents in a manner consistent with
the purposes specified pursuant in its contract.
Blue Gravity Hosting will not process data about any identified or identifiable natural person that we obtain from you in a way
incompatible with the purposes and other limitations that we describe in this Agreement. Blue Gravity Hosting will take reasonable
precautions to protect the information it obtains from you from our loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration
or destruction of that information.
9. Agents and Licenses
You agree that, if you are registering a domain name for someone else, you represent that you have the authority to nonetheless
bind that person as a principal to all terms and conditions provided herein, including the Dispute Policy.
You further agree that you will furnish the requested information to identify the appropriate person as domain owner.
You agree that if you license the use of the domain name registered to you to a third party, you nonetheless remain the domain
name holder of record and remain responsible for all obligations under this Agreement including, but not limited to, payment
obligations and providing and updating, as necessary, both your own full contact information and accurate technical, billing,
and zone contact information adequate to facilitate timely resolution of any problems that arise in connection with the domain
name and domain name registration.
10. Right of Refusal
Blue Gravity Hosting, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to refuse to register your domain name or to enroll you in any services.
In the event Blue Gravity Hosting does not register your domain name or enroll you in any services, no fees applicable to the rejected
services will be collected. Furthermore, Blue Gravity Hosting, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to delete or suspend your
domain name registration or cancel access to any services at any time if the domain name is used in any manner in unsolicited
email (spam), if the domain name is used in any activity prohibited by United States law or if the domain name is used in any
activity deemed unacceptable by Blue Gravity Hosting. After five (5) calendar days all applicable fees associated with deleted or
cancelled registrations or services are non-refundable.
You agree that the registration of your domain name is subject to suspension, cancellation, or transfer pursuant to any ICANN
adopted specification or policy, or pursuant to any registrar or registry procedure not inconsistent with an ICANN adopted
specification or policy to correct mistakes by Blue Gravity Hosting or a registry administrator in registering the domain name or for
the resolution of disputes concerning the registered domain name.
You agree that Blue Gravity Hosting shall not be liable to you for loss or damages that may result from our refusal to register your
domain name or enroll you in any service, the suspension of your domain name registration or service or the deletion or
cancellation of your registered domain name or service.
11. Changing Registrars
You agree that you will be prohibited from changing the registrar of your domain name for sixty (60) calendar days following
the initial registration of the domain name with Blue Gravity Hosting. Beginning on the sixty-first (61st) calendar day following
initial registration, Blue Gravity Hosting will notify the owner of the Omnis Network user account responsible for the domain name in
question via the email address on file whenever we receive a request to transfer the domain to another registrar. The user
may then access the Account Manager to authorize or deny the transfer. If a rejection or authorization is not explicitly
provided via the Account Manager within five (5) days of the initial request, the request to change registrars will be
automatically granted by the registry. Your request to change registrars may be denied in situations described in the Dispute
Policy, your pending bankruptcy, a dispute over the identity of the domain name holder, and default in the payment of any fees
due.
12. Domain Name Modifications
Although Blue Gravity Hosting will accept changes to domain name contact and name server information through the Domain Name Control
Panel, Blue Gravity Hosting's record of the domain "owner" can only be changed via the following procedure. To transfer ownership of
the domain to another party, the customer must pay all outstanding registration fees and submit through the Domain Name Control
Panel the applicable form that describes the intent to relinquish ownership of the domain to a specific party. The new domain
owner, who must be the specific party designated by the old domain owner, must then follow the online procedures for obtaining
ownership of the previously relinquished domain name. The new domain owner must also pay a transfer of registration fee.
13. Representations and Warranties
You represent and warrant that all information provided by you in connection with your registration is complete and accurate.
Furthermore, you represent and warrant that the domain name registration or the manner in which it is directly or indirectly
used will not infringe the legal rights of any third party and will not violate United States law.
Blue Gravity Hosting makes no representation or warranties of any kind in connection with this Agreement. Blue Gravity Hosting does not represent
or warrant that registration of your domain name will immunize you from challenges to your domain name.
14. Jurisdiction
This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For the adjudication
of disputes concerning or arising from use of the domain name registered with Blue Gravity Hosting, you shall submit, without prejudice
to other potentially applicable jurisdictions, to the jurisdiction of the courts of your home or business and where Blue Gravity Hosting
is located.
15. Limitation of Liability
YOU AGREE THAT BLUE GRAVITY HOSTING WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY LOSS THAT MAY OCCUR DUE TO (A) ANY LOSS OF
REGISTRATION OF A DOMAIN NAME, (B) THE USE OF YOUR DOMAIN NAME, (C) ACCESS DELAYS OR ACCESS INTERRUPTIONS TO BLUE GRAVITY HOSTING'S
REGISTRATION SYSTEM, (D) THE NON-DELIVERY OR MISDELIVERY OF DATA BETWEEN YOU AND BLUE GRAVITY HOSTING, (E) EVENTS BEYOND BLUE GRAVITY HOSTING'S
REASONABLE CONTROL, (F) THE PROCESSING OF YOUR APPLICATION, (G) THE PROCESSING OF ANY MODIFICATION TO THE RECORD ASSOCIATED WITH
YOUR DOMAIN NAME, (H) THE FAILURE OF YOU OR YOUR AGENT TO PAY ANY FEES HEREUNDER, OR (I) THE APPLICATION OF THE DISPUTE POLICY.
FURTHER, BLUE GRAVITY HOSTING WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING
LOST PROFITS) REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF BLUE GRAVITY HOSTING
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. YOU AGREE THAT BLUE GRAVITY HOSTING'S ENTIRE LIABILITY, AND YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY,
WITH RESPECT TO ANY SERVICES PROVIDED BY BLUE GRAVITY HOSTING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT IS SOLELY LIMITED TO
THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR SUCH SERVICES. IN NO EVENT SHALL BLUE GRAVITY HOSTING'S MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID
BY YOU FOR INITIAL REGISTRATION OF THE DOMAIN NAME AND ANY RENEWALS THEREOF IN THE PAST THREE YEARS. BECAUSE SOME STATES DO NOT
ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN SUCH STATES, OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
Web Hosting Service Agreement
This Web Hosting Service Agreement ("Agreement") defines the terms under which Blue Gravity Hosting provides web hosting service ("Service").
This Agreement is a binding contract between Blue Gravity Hosting ("Blue Gravity") and the individual or
company ("Customer") defined on the order form when an order for service is submitted.
BY COMPLETING AN ORDER FOR SERVICE, CUSTOMER AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, OUR ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY ("AUP"),
AND ALL AGREEMENTS, RULES AND POLICIES INCORPORATED HEREIN OR INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE. BLUE GRAVITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REVISE THIS
AGREEMENT AT ANY TIME. CUSTOMER'S CONTINUED USE OF SERVICE CONSTITUTES CONTINUED ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.
1. Term of Service
The term of service is determined by Customer's selection on the order form during the order process or by Customer's
request to Blue Gravity's Customer Service Department ("Customer Service") to change to a different currently offered term.
The term shall begin upon the processing of Customer's order, which may not necessarily coincide with the commencement of
service, or upon completion of requested changes by Customer Service.
Upon completion of the term, Customer acknowledges and agrees that the term will renew automatically for successive terms
of length equal to the prior term.
2. Order Acceptance
Blue Gravity may refuse to accept an order for service at its sole and exclusive discretion. Blue Gravity provides no
guarantee or assurance to the time in which a new order will be processed. Any fees charged to Customer for an order that
was refused will be returned in full.
3. Payment
Customer authorizes Blue Gravity to automatically bill and charge the credit card provided, if applicable, for each term unless
service is terminated or cancelled by either party prior to the term's expiration. Customer acknowledges if using a payment method
other than credit card, payment must be received prior to term's expiration to ensure uninterrupted service. Blue Gravity may, at
its sole discretion, suspend or terminate service without notice if Customer fails to provide payment for the new term.
If Customer initiates a chargeback with the provider of a credit card or initiates a similar action to a payment provider allowed
by Blue Gravity for charges billed by Blue Gravity for service, service will be immediately cancelled without notice. Reestablishment
of service following a chargeback or similar action will require sufficient explanation for the action and payment of the disputed
charge and Blue Gravity's bank dispute fee. Blue Gravity, at its sole discretion, will determine whether any explanation provided for
a chargeback or similar action is sufficient.
4. 30 Money Back Guarantee
Blue Gravity may offer a money back guarantee for select new hosting service. If a money back guarantee is available for service, Customer
must request cancellation of service within the time frame permitted by the guarantee and refund must be explicitly requested. If cancelling
service in accordance with a Money Back Guarantee, any promotions received in combination with the service will not be fulfilled.This includes
but is not limited to any domain name registration provided free of charge with hosting service. If cancelling an account in accordance with
a Money Back Guarantee, the refund applicable will be reduced by any discounted or rebated domain name registration fees. If necessary to
recoup the discount or rebate provided for a domain name registation, the credit card provided for the service may be charged.
5. Cancellations
Blue Gravity reserves the right to cancel service at any time without notice and without refund upon breech of any Agreement, violation of
our Acceptable Use Policy, or violation of any rule or policy.
Customer can voluntarily cancel service at any time by contacting Customer Service. Customer agrees that authorization information in the
form of the user account username and password or the current active billing credit card number must be provided for a cancellation request
to be processed. Cancellation requests without proper authorization will not be processed. Blue Gravity is not responsible for charges billed
to Customer following a cancellation request received without proper authorization.
Customer acknowledges, upon cancellation of service, that content including but not limited to web site files, database data, and email
stored under space allocated for Customer's service may be deleted at any time following cancellation.
Customer agrees, upon cancellation of service, that Blue Gravity will not automatically refund any service fees. Customer must request a
refund for any unused service fees by contacting Customer Service. Upon request, a prorated refund for the unused term will be issued through
the same method with which the service fee was collected.
6. Acceptable Use Policy
An Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") is in effect for hosting service. Any violation of the AUP may result in the immediate cancellation or
suspension of any or all service without warning.
7. Resource Allocation
Customer acknowledges that the real-time resources allocated for hosting service are dynamically allocated based on the amount of overall
resources used by Customer. Real-time resources include but are not limited to bandwidth, MySQL connections, email connections, web server
CPU, and web server RAM. Real-time resources may be affected by things such as, but not limited to, bandwidth and disk space used, the number
or size of configured email accounts, the number of web sites configured under hosting service, or the number of or activity on connections

of the techniques may prevent receipt of email from some senders. Blue Gravity can assist in determining the cause of the failure but it is
the sender's responsibility to resolve the condition that caused the failure. Customer agrees that Blue Gravity is not responsible and will
not be liable for any outcome related to the failure to receive an email.
Email accounts provided by Blue Gravity may not be used for permanent archival of email messages. Blue Gravity may, at its sole discretion,
suspend an email account if the email account's disk usage is abusive or grossly exceeds the normal usage of other customers or detrimentally
affects the service of other customers in any way.
Email accounts have a per mailbox limit of 2 gigabytes and 10,000 email messages, whichever comes first. Once that limit is reached, messages
destined for the affected mailbox will be refused by inbound mail systems using industry standard methods.

deleted. The folder defined by Blue Gravity to be intended to hold messages marked as spam is 'Spam'.
