Registration Agreement - .MU

INTRODUCTION By submitting an application for registration of a Domain Name, the applicant ("Registrant") offers to enter in this domain name Registration Agreement ("Agreement") with DomainWorld ("REGISTRY MANAGER") for the purpose of the possible registration of a domain name or sub-domain (a "Domain Name") and Domain Name Services for use for a specified time on the Internet. In the event that Registrant's application is accepted by REGISTRY MANAGER, and a Domain Name is registered and assigned to the Registrant through REGISTRY MANAGER, the Registrant shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the .mu Domain Policies, which are incorporated herein by this reference and are enforceable as if written in full in this Agreement. In the event of multiple registrations by the Registrant, whether at the same time or at different times, it is agreed that the occurrence of any event that allows for the termination of Registrant's Domain Name Services for any one Domain Name shall, at the option of REGISTRY MANAGER, allow for the termination of Domain Name Services for all such registrations. Not all Domain Names will be available for registration through this or any other website.

OWNERSHIP OF DATA Registrant agrees that REGISTRY MANAGER owns all database, compilation and collective similar rights, title and interest worldwide in the .mu database and all information and derivative works generated from the .mu database (the ".mu Database"). Registrant further agrees that Registry Manager and/or Registry Manager Affiliates (as defined below) own all information generated or obtained in connection with Registrant's registration of the Domain Name (the "Registrant Information"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Registry Manager and/or Registry Manager Affiliates (as defined below) do not have any ownership interest in Registrant's IP addresses and the corresponding names of the primary nameserver and an secondary name servers for the Domain Name outside of the rights in the .mu Database.

REGISTRANT INFORMATION Registrant represents and warrants that Registrant is of legal age to enter into this Agreement and has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and perform Registrant's obligations hereunder. Registrant further represents and warrants that the statements in its application are true. Registrant agrees to keep Registry Manager informed of any changes to such information throughout the term of the Domain Name Services. In the event Registrant breaches this Section 3, Registry Manager shall have the right to immediately, with or without notice, terminate this Agreement and/or cancel, suspend, transfer or modify Registrant's registration of the Domain Name.

CONDITIONS FOR REGISTRATION No application for a Domain Name will be accepted, and no Domain Name will be registered to the Registrant, unless each of the following conditions are met:
A. Registrant must provide the Registrant Information required by the Registration Application;
B. Registrant must acknowledge having read and agreed to abide by this Registration Agreement and any policies of the Registry Manager; and
C. The Registrant must have made the appropriate payment for registration of the Domain Name.
The Registrant's offer to register a Domain Name is not effective until accepted by the Registry Manager. Unless provided otherwise by the Registry Manager's policies, notice of such acceptance will be e-mailed to Registrant and will provide Registrant with a password code. ACCEPTANCE IS COMPLETELY WITHIN THE REGISTRY MANAGER'S SOLE DISCRETION AND UNLESS AND UNTIL SUCH ACCEPTANCE OCCURS, REGISTRATION OF THE DOMAIN NAME HAS NOT OCCURRED AND REGISTRANT HAS NO INTEREST IN, OR RIGHT TO, THE DOMAIN NAME. A Domain Name remains available for registration by another party until the requirements set forth above have been satisfied. The Registry Manager reserves the right to revoke a registration for a Domain Name for any reason in the first thirty (30) days after registration and, in such limited circumstances, will refund the registration fee.

TRANSFER OF DOMAIN NAMES
In the event Registrant desires to make a change to the name of the registrant of the Domain Name (a "Transfer"), Registrant agrees that as a condition for any Transfer of any Domain Name, i) Registrant will pay any applicable Transfer Fee, and ii) the person or entity to who the Domain Name will be Transferred (the "Transferee") shall agree in writing to become a party to and be bound by this Agreement. Registrant agrees that if the Transferee fails to become a party to and be bound by this Agreement, any such Transfer shall be null and void, and Registry Manager shall have the right to immediately, with or without prior notice, terminate this Agreement and/or suspend, cancel, transfer or modify the registration of the Domain Name.

LAWFUL USE OF DOMAIN NAME
Registry Manager encourages proper and responsible use of Domain Names by Registrants. However, Registrant is solely responsible for proper use of any particular Domain Name. The Registry Manager cannot and does not review registration applications to determine whether the Registrant is legally entitled to register the requested Domain Name. By submitting a registration application, Registrant warrants that Registrant's registration and use of the Domain Name requested will not violate, infringe upon, or dilute the rights, including trademark and other intellectual property rights, of any third party. Registrant warrants and agrees that Registrant will not register or use the Domain Name in contravention of this Registration Agreement, any policies posted on websites of Registry Manager's Affiliates or the laws of any jurisdiction where the Domain Name is accessible, or for any improper or unlawful purpose.
By registering the Domain Name, Registrant warrants that, to the best of the Registrant's knowledge, the selected Domain Name does not interfere with or infringe upon the rights of any third party in any country. The Registrant also represents that the Domain Name is not being registered for any unlawful purpose, including but not limited to child pornography, child entrapment or abuse, advocacy of hatred, bigotry or violence towards persons or groups on the basis of their religion, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation or other immutable characteristics, theft of e-mail service, or as a source of unsolicited bulk e-mail or as an address to use for replying to unsolicited bulk e-mail. Registry Manager makes no representations or assurances regarding any restraints on registration or use of Domain Names. Registrant should consult competent legal counsel to determine whether the proposed Domain Name may be used for the intended purpose prior to registering any Domain Name with Registry Manager.
No Registrant may sell or otherwise offer subdomains of the Domain Name.

THIRD PARTY INFORMATION

Registrant agrees to pay the current established registration or renewal fee, as applicable. This fee is non-refundable. The Registry Manager reserves the right to increase or decrease the registration at any time by providing notice at their respective websites, as applicable.

Registrant will have the right to renew its registration in accordance with Registry Manager's policies in effect at the end of the Registrant's then current term. In the event of a charge back by a credit card company or a similar action by another payment provider allowed by Registry Manager arising in connection with payment of any registration or renewal fee, Registrant acknowledges and agrees that Registry Manager shall retain all rights to the Domain Name registration, including, without limitation, the right to immediately, with or without notice, terminate this Agreement and/or suspend, cancel, transfer or modify Registrant's Domain Name registration.
