Africa Registry (hereinafter referred to as 'Registrar', or 'we') AND you (hereinafter referred to as 'Customer' or 'you') have agreed to be bound Registrar's Terms and Conditions effective from 10 May 2018, of which this 'Domain Name End User Agreement' shall be considered part of our Terms and Conditions. WHEREAS, Registrar is authorized to provide Internet registration and management services for TLDs, gTLDs, and New gTLDs. WHEREAS, the Customer wishes to purchase Registration and/or Management and/or Renewal and/or Transfer of TLDs, gTLDs, and New gTLDs. NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises, benefits and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Registrar and the Customer, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
In addition we are permitted to use or disclose personally identifiable information held about you:
The Customer must also ensure that the registrant agrees and acknowledges our Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy and this End User Agreement.
Registrar and Service Providers, in their sole discretion, expressly reserve the right to freeze, delete, suspend, deny, cancel, modify, take ownership of or transfer any Domain Order, in order to comply with any applicable Dispute policies or recognized Dispute processes, requests of law enforcement or recognized security organizations such as CERT, or in compliance with any Court Orders, or if Registrar or Service Providers in their sole discretion determine that the information associated with the Domain Order is inaccurate, or has been tampered with, or has been modified without authorization, or if Registrar or Service Providers in their sole discretion determine that the Domain Order ownership should belong to another entity, or if Customer/Registrant does not comply with any applicable terms and conditions, standards, policies, procedures, and practices laid down by Registrar, Service Providers, ICANN, the Registrar and the Registry Operator. The Customer agrees that Registrar and Service Providers, and the contractors, employees, directors, officers, representatives, agents and affiliates, of Registrar and Service Providers, are not liable for loss or damages that may result from any of the above being undertaken.
In the event of any dispute concerning the time of the entry of a Registered Name registration into the Registry System, the timestamp shown in the Registry System records shall control.
Registrar will continue to provide its own WHOIS privacy service, which will not disclose the contact details of the actual owner from appearing in the public WHOIS Lookup Result of the domain name.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that the contact information being displayed in the WHOIS of a privacy protected Domain Order will be those designated by the Registrar, and
Customer and Registrant agree to release, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Registrar, and All Registry Providers used by the Registrar,
ICANN, ICANN's approved registries, our nominated WHOIS Privacy agent, Data Escrow providers, extending to all subsidiaries, affiliates,
shareholders, agents, directors, officers and employees of these previously mentioned entities from and against any and all claims, demands,
liabilities, losses, damages or costs, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of or related in any way to incurred by Registrar directly or indirectly arising from:
(i) Customer's and/or Registrant's use of and access to this Site or the Services (including WHOIS Privacy service) found on our web site;
(ii) Customer's and/or Registrant's violation of any provision of this Agreement or the policies or agreements which are incorporated herein; and/or
(iii) Customer's and/or Registrant's violation of any third-party right, including without limitation any intellectual property or other proprietary right.
Domain names are registered for fixed periods that are subject to renewal. Unless otherwise elected by you, you agree that we will automatically renew your domain names.
Please check the renewal settings in your interface to ensure the auto-renew function is active. We will send several email communications to customers and/or the agents acting on their behalf to alert them
that their domain name registration services will expire on a certain date. If a Customer does not renew the domain name registration by the expiration date,
the domain name registration is subject to deletion at any time after that. Registrar provides a grace period that extends 35 days past the expiration date,
to allow for the renewal of domain name registration services. During this period a Customer can renew a domain name registration; however, a grace period is
not guaranteed and can change or be eliminated at any time without notice. Consequently, every Customer who desires to renew his or her domain name registration
services should do so in advance prior to the expiration date to avoid any unintended domain name deletion.
If an expired domain name registration is not renewed during any grace period provided by Registrar, the domain name registration will be deleted.
Registry Operators may provide Registrars with the ability to 'restore' a deleted domain name registration for a Customer. Such a Redemption Grace Period (RGP)
is not guaranteed and customers should renew their domain name registration services in advance of the domain name registration expiration date(s) to avoid deletion
of domain name registration services. Currently, the Registry Operators provide an RGP for 30-45 days from the date of deletion. When we provide
a redemption service to a Customer, an additional fee of is charged to restore and renew a domain name registration during the RGP. If the domain name registration
is not redeemed by the expiration of the RGP, it is then placed on 'Pending Delete' status for five additional days, after which time it is deleted and the domain
name character string is once again available for registration.
Below is the general Lifecycle for TLDs, gTLDs, and New gTLDs
*Please note: This life cycle will apply to most domain extensions, however some exceptions to this lifecycle can occur
In the event that a domain name registration is the subject of a Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (uDRP) proceeding and expires or is deleted
during the course of the dispute, the party that filed the uDRP proceeding has the option to renew or restore the domain name registration under the same
commercial terms as the original Customer. If the case ultimately is terminated or the arbitrator finds against the filing party, the name will be scheduled for deletion.

In the event that a domain name registration is the subject of a Uniform Rapid Suspension system (URS) proceeding and expires or is deleted during the course of
the dispute, the party that filed the URS proceeding has the option to renew or restore the domain name registration under the same commercial terms as the original
Customer. If the case ultimately is terminated or the arbitrator finds against the filing party, the name will be scheduled for deletion. For more information about
the Uniform Rapid Suspension process, please visit:

As an ICANN accredited Registrar, we are required to comply with the WHOIS Accuracy Program Specification requirements as outlined in the 2013 ICANN's RAA (RAA).
For any TLD, gTLD or New gTLD domain name that is registered after January 1 2014, or for any existing TLD, gTLD or New gTLD that is transferred to us after
January 1 2014, or for any existing TLD, gTLD or New gTLD that is modified after January 1 2014 or for any other reason requiring additional verification,
we may require you to take additional steps to verify your contact details through the process of acknowledgement.
We may send such verification requests by email or by Short Message Service ("SMS") or through an automated telephone verification process.
It is your responsibility to complete the verification process within 15 days of us providing you with such a verification request. Failing to participate
in this verification process may result in us suspending the use or your domain name, or policy deleting your domain name in accordance with ICANN's published policies.
Unlike the traditional TLD and gTLD domain names, the New gTLDs are subject to further dispute resolution mechanisms which may include:
(i) the Trademark Post-Delegation Dispute Resolution Procedure (PDDRP) or
(ii) the Registration Restriction Dispute Resolution Procedure (RRDRP) adopted by ICANN or
(iii) Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS) system adopted by ICANN
Both Registrar and the Registry Operator will comply with these following dispute resolution mechanisms which may be revised from time.
Additionally, both Registrar and the Registry Operator also agree to implement and adhere to any remedies ICANN imposes (which may include
any reasonable remedy resulting from determination by any PDDRP or RRDRP panel) and to be bound by any such determination; and the Uniform Rapid Suspension
system ("URS") adopted by ICANN, including the implementation of determinations issued by URS examiners.
You further agree to indemnify, release, and hold harmless, both Registrar, the Registry Operator, ICANN, for any actions taken by us or the
registry operator following a decision for any such dispute resolution procedures or providers.
Registrar acknowledges that it does not enjoy access to Registry systems that is in any way superior to that of any other accredited Registrar.

The indemnification obligations under this section shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. Neither Party shall be liable to the other for damages of any sort resulting solely from terminating this agreement in accordance with its terms but each party shall be liable for any damage arising from any breach by it of this agreement.
In the event that any individual clauses or points in this agreement are not enforceable, the remainder of clauses or points in this agreement shall remain enforceable.
If there are any discrepancies/inconsistencies between the translated version and the English version of this agreement, the English version shall prevail
For .MOI Registrants: Please be aware that .MOI pricing between Registration and Renewals can differ – If a domain name is registered under any of the Limited Registration Phases ("LRP"), the subsequent renewals will be at the standard price. .MOI also offers Tiered pricing and premium domain names, if you have registered a domain name classed as premium and/or assigned a higher price, the subsequent renewals will match the higher price.
