Domain Name Registrations and Renewals

  2. When registering a new domain name, or if your domain name is already registered with dotCanada.com's domain registrar, we will attempt to enroll your domain in our Automated Domain Renewal Service. Through this service, dotCanada.com will attempt to automatically initiate the renewal of any domain name you register through dotCanada.com. The renewal will be initiated 15 days before a domain's expiration date. Of course, you can opt out of the Automated Domain Renewal Service at any time by contacting our Support Team. While participating in the Automated Domain Renewal Service, you agree to be bound by the policies associated with this service. In the event of conflict between those policies and rules and this Agreement, this Agreement will control.
  3. The registration or renewal of any domain name by dotCanada.com on behalf of a Customer is subject to, and contingent upon, (i) the Customer providing all information needed to complete such registration, (ii) the availability of the domain name, (iii) the domain name not being in violation of any applicable law, rule, statute or regulation, (iv) the domain name not being in violation of any policy of the Chosen Registrar, (v) any fees or costs for such domain name registration being paid in advance by the Customer and (vi) the Customer's continued compliance with any and all dotCanada.com Terms of Service and the AUP.
  4. Once a domain name has been registered or renewed through dotCanada.com, no refunds will be given for the domain registration or renewal fee.
  5. The Customer has full ownership rights over any domain name registered or renewed through dotCanada.com, where the domain registration fees have been paid in full by the Customer. In the event of fraud or failure to pay fees, dotCanada.com will retain possession of the domain name. In addition, if we receive a credit card charge-back for a domain registered with us, dotCanada.com will take ownership of the domain name(s) registered.
  6. dotCanada.com is not responsible for maintaining the registrant information for domain names. The domain owner can modify all this information using our Control Panel, by contacting our Support Team or contacting the Chosen Registrar. The Customer agrees to continually update all information required by the Chosen Registrar. Updating your information with dotCanada.com does not automatically update it with the Chosen Registrar.
  7. dotCanada.com is not responsible for any domain name's availability. The Customer waives any and all claims against dotCanada.com for, and hereby releases dotCanada.com from, any loss, damage, liability, cost or expense arising out of, or relating to, the registration or release of a domain name.
  8. The Customer acknowledges and understands that any and all domain name registrations and renewals are subject to the terms, conditions, rules, regulations, applicable law and policies of ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers).

Upon request, dotCanada.com will provide the Customer with the name of the Chosen Registrar.
  9. The Customer understands and accepts that a request for a domain name registration or renewal is no guarantee that the Customer will receive the domain name that has been requested. The Customer understands, accepts and appreciates the risks associated with circumstances and vulnerabilities generally affecting the Internet and e-commerce in general. The Customer waives any and all claims it may have against dotCanada.com for, and hereby releases dotCanada.com from, any loss, damage, liability, cost or expense arising out of, or relating to, the registration, renewal or release of a domain name in such circumstances, regardless of if the domain name is included in the cost of hosting or renewal hosting, and regardless of if the domain purchase price or renewal price has been paid in full.
  10. In the event that a customer domain renewal is not automatically processed due to automation error, registrar partner error or other undefined or undetermined error, the customer has up to 28 days after the expiration date to contact us through our ticket system at https://secure.dotcanada.com/submitticket.php?step=2&deptid=002 and have this corrected at no additional cost. Following 28 days we cannot guarantee the availability, nor cost of domain renewal - the availability and cost of the renewal are mandated by the partner registrar.
  11. dotCanada.com is not liable for domain disputes that may arise over changed registrant information for a domain name.
  12. dotCanada.com is not responsible for resolving any domain disputes. These issues must be resolved by the parties involved, according to the legal bounds of ICANN, the domain name governing body. dotCanada.com will not act as an arbitrator, but will honor any ICANN decisions.
