- What these Terms and Conditions cover. These are the Terms and Conditions on which we supply products and services to you. A contract is formed between Team Blue Internet Services UK Limited, and you, our customer as named on any order acceptance, and will consist of these Terms and Conditions, together with any schedules that relate to specific products or services that you have purchased from us, and any order acceptance (the “Contract”). The Contract shall apply to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions including any terms and conditions which you may attempt to introduce or rely on.
- Why you should read them. Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before you submit your order to us. These Terms and Conditions tell you who we are, how we will provide products and/or services to you, how you and we may change or end of the Contract, what to do if there is a problem and other important information. If you think that there is a mistake in these Terms and Conditions, please contact us to discuss. For details of how to contact us, please refer to section 2.1.
- There are other policies that may apply to you. These Terms and Conditions refer to the following additional policies, and documents which also apply to your use of our site:

In case Team Blue Internet Services UK Limited processes personal data on your behalf as a data processor, the DPA available at the following link https://www.names.co.uk/info/terms/data-protection will apply. If you accept these Terms and Conditions, the relevant DPA will apply. If you do not process personal data as a data controller or data processor, no DPA will apply.
- Our Online Harms Procedure which sets out the process for reporting illegal content hosted by names.co.uk.
- We also have a number of product specific Schedules which can be found on our website. Ensure you read the correct Schedule which applies to the product or services you are purchasing.
- If there is any conflict between the terms in each Schedule and these Terms and Conditions, the applicable Schedule will take precedence.
- Are you a Business Customer or a Consumer? In some areas you will have different rights under these terms depending on whether you are a Business Customer or Consumer. You are a "Consumer" if:
- You are an individual.
- You are buying products and/or services from us wholly or mainly for your personal use (not for use in connection with your trade, business, craft or profession).
- Provisions specific to consumers only are in red and those specific to businesses only are in blue.
- If you are a Business Customer this is our entire agreement with you. The Contract constitutes the entire agreement between us in relation to your purchase. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, promise, representation, assurance or warranty (except statutory warranties for Consumers) made or given by or on behalf of us which is not set out in the Contract and that you shall have no claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation or negligent misstatement based on any statement in this Contract
- We may alter or amend these Terms and Conditions at any time for any reason upon giving you not less than twenty-one (21) days notice in advance by post, email, and/or by posting the alteration on our website at https://www.names.co.uk/info/terms/change-to-terms setting out the date it is to take effect. If we send the notice by post or email, we will send it to the most recent contact details you have provided. Except where the change is as a result of legislative or regulatory requirements, if you do not wish to continue with the service as a result of the change to the Terms and Conditions, you may terminate the Contract without penalty by giving us written notice to reach us not less than seven (7) days before the date when the alteration to our Terms and Conditions is to take effect. If we do not receive such a notice from you prior to that date, and/or if you continue to use the service after sending us a notice, you will be deemed to have accepted the alteration.
- It is important to note that if you purchase any of our services bundled together as a package, (for example you purchase a package that includes both a domain name and email as opposed to purchasing these separately), termination of any part of the services may result in termination of all the services provided as part of that bundled package.

Time will not be of the essence in providing the products or services to you.
- If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will refund any charges for the product and/or services. This might be because the product and/or service is not available, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product and/or services or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.
- We reserve the right to refuse orders for any reason. Where we do refuse an order, we may notify you that the order will not be processed.

- At least four (4) weeks prior to expiry of the applicable subscription period, we may remind you of the impending expiry of the services by notice to the then current contact details specified by you on your account, subject to your communication preferences.

- To reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and
- To implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a security threat. These changes will not affect your use of the products or services.

- Providing the products and/or services
- When we will provide the products and/or services. During the order process we will let you know the period for which we will provide the products and/or services to you.

- We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the products and/or services is delayed by an event outside our control, then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the Contract and receive a refund for any products and/or services you have paid for but not received.
- In order to ensure good performance of the servers, we need to perform routine maintenance. This may mean that we need to take our servers offline. Where possible, we perform such maintenance during off-peak hours. We will try to give you advance notice of any maintenance which requires the servers to be taken offline by sending you an email to your notified email address or on our network status page at https://status.names.co.uk and we will try to keep interruption to a minimum.
- We also may need to, and reserve the right to, suspend the service if you exceed your maximum quota as notified to you.
- What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the products and/or services to you. If so, this will have been discussed with you. We will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the Contract (and Clause 12 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the products and/or services late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
- Reasons we may suspend the supply of products and/or services to you. We may have to suspend the supply of a product and/or services to:
- Deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
- Update the product and/or services to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; or
- Make changes to the product and/or services as requested by you or notified by us to you (see Clause 8.)
- If we need to do this, we will try to keep you informed and will try to keep interruptions to a minimum, but we cannot always guarantee to do so. If we have to suspend the supply of products and/or services to you for longer than twenty-eight (28) days we will adjust the price so that you do not pay for products and/or services while they are suspended. You may contact us to end the Contract for a product and/or service if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than twenty-eight (28) days and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the product and/or services in respect of the period after you end the Contract.
- We may also suspend supply of the products and services in the following circumstances:
- If you do not pay us for the products and/or services when you are supposed to (see Clause 15.6), we may suspend supply of the products and/or services until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the products and/or services. As well as suspending the products and/or services we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments.
- In the event that we are unable to verify your email and/or postal address we may suspend provision of the products and/or services without liability.
- The issuing by any competent authority of an order which is binding on us and which may prevent us providing products or services to you.
- Where we suspend the provision of our products or services under Clauses 9.6 and 9.8 above, we shall not be obliged to lift such suspension outside of normal business hours and until you have paid all outstanding sums owing to us in cleared funds and, if required by us, accepted such revised payment terms as we may reasonably require.
- Unless otherwise specified the services do not include back up of your data. You are responsible for the back-up of your own files and data, for your own internal network and all equipment that is connected to the Internet. In particular, it is your responsibility to ensure that your firewalls and anti-virus protection are kept up to date and are sufficient for your needs.
- Your rights to end the Contract
- You can always end your Contract with us. Your rights when you end the Contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing, when you decide to end the Contract and whether you are a Consumer or Business Customer:
- If what you have bought is faulty or mis-described you may have a legal right to end the Contract (or to get the service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back). See Clause 13 if you are a Consumer and Clause 14 if you are a Business Customer;
- If you want to end the Contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see Clause 10.2;
- If you are a Consumer and have just changed your mind about the product and/or services, see Clause 10.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling- off period, but this may be subject to deductions;
- In all other cases (if we are not at fault and you are not a Consumer exercising your right to change your mind), see Clause 10.5.
- Ending the Contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a Contract for a reason set out at (a) to (c) below the Contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products and/or services which have not been provided. The reasons are:
- There is a risk that supply of the products and/or services may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
- We have suspended supply of the products and/or services for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than fourteen (14) days; or
- You have a legal right to end the Contract because of something we have done wrong.
- Exercising your right to change your mind if you are a Consumer (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). If you are a Consumer, then you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days (the “Cooling off Period”) and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms. There is no Cooling off Period following a renewal of our products and services.
- Implications for when Consumers change their minds in relation to Domain Name registration. Your right as a consumer to change your mind and receive a refund still applies once a Domain Name has been purchased. However, there is no Cooling off Period following a renewal of our products and services. Due to the bespoke nature of Domain Names you should be aware that the registered Domain Name may not immediately be cancelled by the appropriate Domain Name Registry and that the process for cancelling the Domain Name is governed by the Registry. The details of the Registry providing specific extensions can be found at https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db.
- Ending the Contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you are not a Consumer who has a right to change their mind (see Clause 10.1), you can still end the Contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A Contract for services is completed when we have finished providing the services and you have paid for them. If you want to end a Contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you are not a Consumer who has changed their mind in the Cooling off Period, just contact us (please see Clause 2.2) to let us know. The Contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for products and/or services not commenced but we may deduct sums from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) as compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the Contract. For the avoidance of doubt, you are not entitled to a refund within the Cooling off Period if you are a Business Customer.
- You can always end your Contract with us. Your rights when you end the Contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing, when you decide to end the Contract and whether you are a Consumer or Business Customer:

The notice will be sent to the then current email address specified by you on your account.

If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under the Contract, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this Contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products and/or services, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

Schedules
SCHEDULE A
Terms and Conditions relating to our Domain Name Registration Service
Definitions
In this Schedule:
“Registrant” a Domain Name Registrant is a person or entity that holds the legal and contractual rights and responsibilities to a Domain Name.
“Registry” is the organisation that manages the database of all Domain Names and (where relevant) the associated Registrant information in the top level domains (TLDs) of the domain name system of the Internet, that allow third party entities to request the registration and use of a Domain Name.
“Registrar” a contracted party that sells and manages Domain Names. A Domain Name Registrar must be accredited by a generic top-level domain (gTLD) Registry or a country code top-level (ccTLD) Registry. A gTLD Registrar must also be accredited by ICANN.
“ICANN” the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is the organisation responsible for developing and enforcing the policies governing gTLD Domain Names.
“gTLD” Generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) is one of the categories of top-level domains (TLDs) maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) for use in the Domain Name System of the Internet. A gTLD Domain Name does not have a geographic or country designation and is governed by ICANN policies.
“RGP” Redemption Grace Period (RGP) represents a period during which a registrant can pay additional fees to recover/retrieve a gTLD Domain Name after the Domain Name has expired. Additional details on how to check the status of your gTLD can be found at https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/epp-status-codes-2014-06-16-en.
“WHOIS” is an online database that stores the registered users or assignees of an Internet resource, such as a Domain Name. The WHOIS database is accessible online and will show information such as whether a Domain Name is registered and in some instances who has registered the domain.
“ccTLD” a country code top-level domain (ccTLD) is an Internet top-level domain (TLD) generally used or reserved for a country, sovereign state, or dependent territory identified with a country code.
“TLD” a Top-Level Domain (TLD) is the part following the “.” at the far right of a Domain Name.
- Orders
- Your order must indicate the Domain Name(s) that are to be registered, including full details of the Registrant.
- You represent and warrant that you will provide us with current, complete and accurate information in connection with your application for a registration, and that you will correct and update this information to ensure that it remains current, complete and accurate throughout the term of any resulting registration or reservation. You understand that your obligation to provide current, accurate and complete information is a material element of the terms of this Schedule, and we reserve the right to deny, cancel, terminate, suspend, lock, or transfer any registration or reservation if we determine, in our sole discretion, that the information is inaccurate. It is your responsibility to ensure that you update the information within seven (7) days of any change during the term of the registration. In the event you fail to update information or wilfully fail to provide the updated information within seven (7) days to us or fail to respond for more than fifteen (15) days to requests by us in relation to the accuracy of the details associated with the registration, then this may result in the suspension or cancellation of this registration.
- You agree and acknowledge that registration and use of the Domain Name is subject to the acceptable use policies, rules and/or other terms and conditions of the Registry/Registrar. By submitting the order to us, you agree to be bound by any such policies, rules and/or other terms and conditions and to fully and effectively indemnify us in respect of all losses, costs, expenses or liability suffered or incurred by us as a result of, or arising out of any breach of these policies, rules and/or other terms and conditions. It is your responsibility to familiarise yourself with the policies, rules and other terms and conditions of the Registry/Registrar and for ensuring that you have complied with the registration criteria and obtained all consents and authorisations necessary in respect of the registration or transfer of the Domain Name. Registration criteria for each Domain Name are displayed on the Domain Name search results page, https://www.names.co.uk/domain-names. Should additional information or documentation be required to complete the registration, the onus is on you before applying for such a Domain Name to ensure that you can provide the required supporting documentation to substantiate your claim on or entitlement to the domain.
- If you have registered a gTLD Domain Name, you have rights and obligations that have been established by the ICANN and which can be found at the following URL https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/benefits-2013-09-16-en.
- We reserve the right to refuse orders for any reason. Where we do refuse an order, we will notify you that the order will not be processed. If the order has been processed and you have paid our charges they will be refunded.
- We will endeavour to meet any dates agreed for the obtaining of the Domain Name(s) specified by you, but this date is an estimate only and we will not be liable for any delay.
- Services
- We provide Domain Name services on an "as available" basis. Our acceptance of your application to register a Domain Name is not an acknowledgement by us that the Domain Name is available. The success or failure of Domain Name registration depends on many factors outside our control, and we cannot therefore guarantee that your application will be successful. Your application to register the Domain Name is subject to the acceptance of the Domain Name application by the applicable domain name Registry.
- You agree and acknowledge that we are bound by contractual commitments that dictate we make registration information provided by you in relation to the requested domain (as stated in the order) available to third parties such as ICANN, the Registry or other third parties as applicable laws require or permit including but not limited to the police or other enforcement authorities.
- You further acknowledge that we may make publicly available, or directly available to third party vendors, some, or all, of the Domain Name registration information provided, for purposes of inspection (such as through the WHOIS service) or other purposes as required or permitted by ICANN, the Registry and applicable law.
- You acknowledge and agree that in the event of a material change being required in respect of a Domain Name owner for any reason, any responsibility and liability for such material changes shall be borne solely by you.
- Subject to Clause 4(f) below, if a Domain Name is not successfully registered with the Registry we will not be liable to you for any loss or damage arising or resulting from any inability to register the Domain Name or from us not accepting your order, and we will not be responsible for any costs incurred or other steps taken by you in anticipation of the registration or transfer of a Domain Name prior to your receipt of official confirmation of such registration or transfer from us.
- You should note that any Domain Name registered, whether or not by us, may subsequently be challenged and/or cancelled by parties other than us.
- You accept and agree that names.co.uk will publish courtesy pages containing advertisements on your Domain Name as a holding page if you have not posted web content on your Domain Name; you are free to disable the courtesy page at your sole discretion. You accept and agree that you will not be provided any kind of remuneration in relation to the courtesy pages.
- You agree that we may be registered as the Administrative Contact for all Domain Names registered for you or held on your behalf. We may register a contact email for domains.
- You agree to ensure that all domains registered through our service will not be used for any unlawful purpose, will not be registered in bad faith, or otherwise be considered an abusive registration under the Registry, ICANN or relevant dispute policies and procedures, and will not infringe on the legal rights (including but not limited to intellectual property rights) of any third person. All domains registered via names.co.uk must also adhere to our Acceptable Use Policy.
- We expressly reserve the right to deny, reject, cancel, delete or transfer any registration or transaction, or place any Domain Name(s) or other transactions or Registry lock, hold or similar status, that we deem necessary, in our sole discretion:
- To protect the integrity and stability of our systems;
- To comply with applicable laws, government rules or requirements, requests of law enforcement, or any dispute resolution process;
- To avoid any liability, civil or criminal, on our part, as well as our affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, and employees;
- For violations of this Schedule; or
- To correct mistakes made by us or our third party providers in connection with a Domain Name registration. We also reserve the right to place a Domain Name on Registry hold, lock or similar status during the resolution of a dispute.
- Any Registrant whose intention is to licence use of a Domain Name to a third party is nonetheless the Registrant of record and is responsible for complying with this Schedule. A Registrant licensing use of a registered Domain Name according to this provision shall accept liability for harm caused by wrongful use of the registration.
- Where a .uk NDO Plus Domain Name has been provided to you as part of a bundled service, the Domain Name is registered in the name of NDO Limited (a names.co.uk company) and you are renting it from us. Our charge which is payable if you wish to buy the Domain Name or transfer it to another service provider, will be found at https://www.names.co.uk/info/company/price-list.
- Where your associated services have been provided to you on a Domain Name ending in demon.co.uk, use of this domain name is licensed from a third party as a sub-domain, and as such is not available for standard purchase. names.co.uk has no control over the availability and administration of these Domain Names and we will notify you of any change to the party sub- domain license terms with a minimum of thirty (30) days’ notice. If the sub- domain is no longer available under license, we will offer You a suitable alternative standard Domain Name at no extra cost. You will remain responsible for updating any Services associated with the change in Domain Name.
- You agree that we may, at any time and without notice, change the domain name Registrar or other supplier with which/whom we manage your domain name(s). To do so may require us to perform a "Registrar Transfer". In which case, you authorise us to act on your behalf in this regard and transfer the Domain Name(s) to our chosen supplier. You agree that should any transfer authorisation emails be required, this will be dealt with by us as the authorised Administrative Contact for the Domain Name(s). We will endeavour to perform such transfers in a transparent manner, with no service disruption or the loss of any domain management facilities previously available to you. You acknowledge that by us performing a Registrar Transfer, the Domain Name(s) may be blocked from transferring to any other domain name registrar for a period of sixty (60) days’ from the date the transfer is completed.
- Where a domain is transferred to us, it is your responsibility to ensure you have an account with us and you have followed our transfer-in process in order for us to be able to accept and complete the domain transfer on your behalf. We cannot be held responsible for any Domain Name(s) that is/are rejected when you have not completed the transfer in process through your account with us. If at any time the Domain Name needs to be removed from the account created and placed in another account with us (i.e. a reseller's account) then we will require authorisation from the legal registrant for the Domain Name for this to occur.
- On receipt of a transfer-out request, we will use our reasonable endeavours to process the transfer request, but will not be responsible for any delay in effecting such transfer due to acts or omissions of your current provider or new provider (as applicable) or the Registry/Registrar. If you require us to effect a change of Registrant, we will advise you of the procedure and cost.
- When requesting the transfer of a gTLD Domain Name to our management, you also acknowledge that:
- The Domain Name has been unlocked (if applicable) and the current provider is aware of, and willing to approve, the outbound transfer.
- Submission of a Domain Name transfer request to us does not guarantee that the transfer will be successful.
- Until such time as you receive a transfer completion notice issued by us, management of the Domain Name(s) being transferred remains your sole responsibility. This includes meeting renewal deadlines and paying any amounts owed to the existing provider.
- The transfer fee is valid for 60 days. If, after 60 days, we have been unable to transfer the domain name, the transfer fee will become payable again if you wish the transfer to continue.
- Change Registrant Procedure (gTLD domains managed by ICANN)
- You acknowledge and accept that any variation regarding the name, surname, Organisation/Company and/or the email address of the Registrant of a gTLD domain managed by ICANN, will be subject to the procedure outlined below, in observance of the provisions of the relative ICANN policy (“Policy”).
- Definitions specific to section 3:
“Change of Registrant” refers to a Material Change to the following data: Registrant name; Registrant Organisation; Registrant email; Administration Contacts, if there is no email address of the Registrant;
“Designated Agent" refers to the party authorised by the Current Registrant and the New Registrant for completing the Change of Registrant procedure and authorisation to proceed with the Change of Registrant on their behalf.
“Material Change" refers to a change that is not a mere typographical correction to a name surname, organisation or any change to the email address;
“Current Registrant" refers to the entity or person who registered the Domain Name at the time of the request for Change of Registrant.
“New Registrant" refers to the entity or person to whom the Current Registrant requests to transfer ownership of the Domain Name.
“Transfer Lock Period” refers to the period of sixty (60) days as of the date of completion of the Change of Registrant procedure, during which the domain may not be transferred to another Registrar. - Procedure:
names.co.uk, for Change of Registrant requests, will receive authorisation to proceed from the Designated Agent appointed by the current and new Registrant. The Designated Agent of the New Registrant undertakes to ensure acceptance by the latter of our Terms and Conditions. The Designated Agent of the Current Registrant, releasing us from all relative liability, confirms to have informed the Current Registrant of the fact that if the latter intends to transfer the domain to another Registrar, this operation must be completed before the Change of Registrant in order to avoid the Transfer Lock Period. We will send a notification email to confirm the Change of Registrant, both to the New Registrant and the Current Registrant, within one (1) working day from the date of completion of the Change of Registrant procedure, specifying the domains subject to the Change of Registrant request and a contact address for possible clarifications.
- Definitions specific to section 3:
- You acknowledge and accept that any variation regarding the name, surname, Organisation/Company and/or the email address of the Registrant of a gTLD domain managed by ICANN, will be subject to the procedure outlined below, in observance of the provisions of the relative ICANN policy (“Policy”).
- Pre-order of gTLD Domain Names
We cannot guarantee pre-registration rights will be assigned until the registration process is complete. In the event that the application is not successful, we will refund the pre- registration fee to applicant. Should a non-refundable Registry application fee be applicable, this will be clearly stated at point of purchase. - Charges and Payment
- The disbursements and our charges represent the initial costs for the registration of a Domain Name and you acknowledge that continued use of a Domain Name may expose you to additional charges payable to the local Domain Name Registry/Registrar, for example on renewal. You are liable for any such charges. The charges and disbursements charged to you will remain fixed for the initial term of the Contract (such as twelve (12) months or twenty- four (24) months as applicable or notified to you). You will be given at least four (4) weeks' notice of changes for the renewal term.
- Duration and Renewal
- It is your sole responsibility to ensure that all of your registered Domain Names are renewed prior to their expiration dates. Once the Domain Name expires, all associated services will be deactivated (hosting, email etc.) and it will be removed from your account. You can still contact us to confirm after this point whether the domain name is available to renew. You accept and recognise that once a Domain Name expires, you lose all rights on it.
- gTLDs renewed after the expiration date that have entered into the renewal status RGP are subject to additional fees from the Registry. The status of your Domain Name can be checked by doing a WHOIS lookup. You accept that we may place the domain name under the RGP status shortly after the Expiration Period. In such cases, you will have the possibility to renew the Domain Name by paying all the applicable fees and any past-due renewal fees. If the Domain Name is not renewed by you during the RGP, the Domain Name will be deleted at the Registry and can be registered by anyone;
- During the expiration period we may publish courtesy pages containing advertisements on your Domain Name. You accept and recognise that you will not be provided with any kind of remuneration in relation with the courtesy pages.
- A Domain Name, once registered, will fall due for renewal at the date specified by the Registry, this may not be in line with the initial registration date. It is your responsibility to monitor the renewal dates of your Domain Names and ensure we receive payment by the date it is due. You may advise us through one of our representatives or via your Online Control Panel that you do not wish us to send you reminders of renewal dates in which case we shall have no liability to you if you fail to renew.
- Unless you have notified us that you do not wish us to send you reminders of renewal date our sole obligation in relation to the renewal of Domain Names is to issue one reminder to you at your last notified email address about the renewal date of the relevant Domain Name. This obligation will lapse if your registration of the domain name lapses or terminates for any reason. We will not be liable in respect of the non-renewal of a Domain Name if, having sent you a renewal notice, we do not receive notice of renewal and the applicable payment, or if you fail to notify us of a change of contact details.
- At the end of the expiration period, you formally accept that we reserve the right, at our own discretion, to either:
- Transfer the property of the expired domain to its own name or to the name of any of our group companies and to renew the domain to its own name. You hereby accept that we or a company in our Group will then become the Registrant of such domain name and have all the corresponding rights. Only in that case, will you have the possibility to get the domain name back up to ninety (90) days after the expiry date of the domain name, by paying all the applicable fees. We will then transfer the property of the domain back to you. After the end of the ninety (90) day period, if you don't exercise the rights under this provision, you will be deemed to have abandoned the Domain Name services, and to relinquish all interests and use of the Domain Name services; or
- Renew the expired domain name at our costs, keeping the Registrant data unchanged, and following your express approval. In such case, all the Services associated to the Domain Name will be deactivated (Hosting, Email etc.) and a courtesy page containing advertisements will appear. You accept and recognise that you will not be provided any kind of remuneration in relation with the courtesy pages. You will remain the registrant of the Domain Name, and you will be able to get the Domain Name back and recreate the associated services by ordering the Domain Name and the services at the price and under the contractual conditions applicable at the time of your orders; or
- To delete the domain at the Registry. In such cases, the domain will be released and can be registered by anyone. We decline any and all liability in case the domain name is registered by any third-party. You remain solely responsible for the non-renewal of the domain name before the expiry date and for any consequences that may arise.
- You formally accept that it is our exclusive decision to opt for one or another of the options listed above. You have no right whatsoever on such options and waives any right of contestation or claim in that respect.
- For ccTLDs, the domain name expiration process will follow the relevant Registry regulations and processes. You accept and recognise that once a ccTLD expires, you lose all rights on the Domain Name.
- It is your sole responsibility to ensure that all of your registered Domain Names are renewed prior to their expiration dates. Once the Domain Name expires, all associated services will be deactivated (hosting, email etc.) and it will be removed from your account. You can still contact us to confirm after this point whether the domain name is available to renew. You accept and recognise that once a Domain Name expires, you lose all rights on it.

SCHEDULE B
Terms and Conditions for the provision of Email Services and WebMail Services.
- Mailbox
- Each mailbox has a storage quota. This may be by reference to the number of emails held, the size of attachments, or other methods we may specify. This is in place to protect your account and other accounts from potentially large volumes of email sent to a single address that could materially affect the email system server. Additional storage can be purchased through your Online Control Panel. It is your responsibility to ensure that your mailbox does not reach its allocated level. We will not be liable for any email lost due to full mailboxes. You can check your mailbox capacity from your Online Control Panel.
- We may occasionally need to change these limits either for operational reasons, or because we reasonably believe you have not been using the services in accordance with our Acceptable Use Policy. If we do so, we will endeavour to give you twenty-one (21) days advance notice of the new limits by email and after that notice expires we may refuse to accept material and/or remove materials which exceed the relevant limits. Your emails will be stored on our clustered mail services until they are removed from our server.
- In the event that you exceed your quota then we reserve the right, by written notice to request that you upgrade to an Email or Web Hosting product with a high quota or, where the maximum quota allowable has been reached, to delete the content in excess of the quota. You are required to manage and effectively remedy any issues with your email through the Online Control Panel within seven (7) working days of our written request.
- We reserve the right to suspend your services if the request made in Clause 1(c) above is not actioned. We will charge you for un-suspending your services should you go over your mailbox quota.
- It is your responsibility to keep your password confidential and to change the password on a regular basis. We will not be liable for any data losses or security issues due to stolen or insecure passwords.
- Service availability
- We monitor the mail platform as a whole but do not monitor individual mailboxes. The server uses SMTP (“Simple Mail Transfer Protocol”), a "store and forward" email protocol, to receive incoming and deliver outbound messages. By default, the mail platform attempts to deliver messages on a regular basis. If delivery is not achieved within twelve (12) hours, a delay notification is emailed to the sender. If delivery is not achieved within four (4) days, the message is returned to the sender.
- We may limit or deny access to the services and our Email and Web Hosting systems in the event that, in our sole judgement, such action is required to prevent damage to our or our third party provider’s networks (including but not limited to software and stored date) or to ensure the integrity or security of the network.
- Storage Capacity
- Each account is allotted an aggregated storage capacity initially equal to the total storage capacity of all the mailboxes of that account.
- Security
- We try to ensure mailbox security and integrity of data at all times. However, despite our efforts, problems may occasionally arise. Where a problem does arise with a specific mailbox, it is your responsibility to inform us of this via your Online Control Panel or by contacting our Customer Care team. We will use reasonable efforts to resolve the problem. However, we do not guarantee that we can restore any lost or corrupted data and we will have no liability for the loss or corruption of any data. It is your responsibility to ensure that you back up your data as necessary for you.
- We provide anti-virus and anti-spam services for incoming email. This service can be enabled and configured via the Online Control Panel. While we do our best to remove all viruses and spam, we cannot guarantee that we will catch them all nor that no virus will reach your computer. We also cannot guarantee that non-spam messages will never be marked as spam.
- Ownership of data and indemnity
- All data created or stored by you within our applications and servers is your property.
- We will allow access to such data only by our authorised personnel.
- You will indemnify us and keep us indemnified against any claim, loss or damage in respect of any web server content, email content or any other data contained within your server space or within applications on our servers.
- Use of email account
- If we identify a mailbox or Domain Name that is transmitting illegal, offensive, abusive, derogatory, defamatory, obscene or infected content, or for the purposes of sending bulk or unsolicited emails, or being used contrary to our Acceptable Use Policy, or otherwise causing problems, we will either remove the offending mailboxes or change their settings to resolve the issue. In certain cases we will, at our discretion, disable email or suspend all services to the domain as appropriate.
- Use of free email accounts offered with the registration package of certain domains
- By activating the free email account, if offered, with the domain registration package, you confirm and accept that the contents of the POP3 mailbox provided as part of this free email account shall be your property and at all times your sole responsibility (including, but not limited to, taking appropriate technical and security measures, running virus software and making backups to protect such contents) in accordance with this Schedule.
- Following the expiration of, or the transfer away from us, of the domain associated with this free email account (or following the termination of any agreement we have with you in relation to it), we reserve the right to: (i) immediately delete the contents of any mailbox; and (ii) withdraw any additional products, associated with this domain.
- Termination
- On termination for any reason, we will cease providing the services and your mailboxes will be deleted.
- If the termination is during the minimum term you will be liable to pay us the charges that would have arisen from the date of termination till the expiry of the minimum term.
- Remedies and Limitations
- Our total liability in relation to the Email and Web Hosting services whether, in respect of any breach of this Schedule, negligence, any act or omission on our part, whether intentional or otherwise, shall be limited to the total fees paid by you to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to liability for the Email and Web Hosting services.
- We accept no responsibility for any delay, lack of connection, slow connection, loss of data, loss of usability, or any similar or related issues due to, but not limited to any of the following: (i) the active or passive negligence, of us, you or any third party; (ii) downtime due to scheduled or emergency maintenance; (iii) an upgrade, downgrade or alteration to the services; (iv) any hard failure (including issues caused by other users on the hardware); (v) your systems incompatibility with the services; or (vi) your error.

- Whilst with some Web Hosting services we offer unlimited storage and we do not limit the amount of storage your site can use, this still needs to comply with Acceptable Use Policy.

You acknowledge and accept that for the provision of SSL Certificates we act only as a reseller of External Providers, Symantec, Lets Encrypt and GlobalSign as specified below and you accept the obligations contained in the following external Provider agreements:
Lets Encrypt: https://letsencrypt.org/documents/2017.11.15-LE-SA-v1.2.pdf
GlobalSign: https://www.globalsign.com/en/repository/subscriber-agreement/
Sectigo: https://sectigo.com/legal
The Service gives you use of an SSL Certificate, which consists of a key pair as well as verified identification information. When a web browser (or customer) points to a secured website, the server shares the public key with you to establish an encryption method and a unique session key. You confirm that you recognise and trust the issuer of the SSL Certificate. This process is known as the "SSL handshake" and it begins a secure session that protects message privacy, message integrity, and server security.
- Definitions
In this Schedule:- "Certificate Application" means your application for an SSL certificate which must be accepted by the External Providers, using Our order process.
- "External Providers" means the third party providers, Symantec, Lets Encrypt and GlobalSign who provide the SSL service that we resell and with whom you are also contracting by choosing this product.
- "Minimum Term" means the minimum amount of time that you may purchase the Product for after the order has been accepted.
- "Certificate" means SSL Services provided by External Providers and available for purchase from us as listed at www.names.co.uk/info/company/price-list.
- "Services" means the provision and sale of SSL Certificates and accompanying information.
- Orders
- Your order must be submitted to us using either the online order form or through one of our representatives. The Services must be used in respect of a registered Domain Name.
- If we accept your order, the processing of your request will start immediately.
- We will perform the authentication procedures for the Certificate that you have requested, upon receipt of the applicable payment, and subsequently process any Certificate Application.
- Upon approval of the Certificate Application, prior to the issuance of the Certificate, you must submit a Certificate Signing Request (“CSR”) in a format specified by us. If we do not receive a CSR within twelve (12) months from the day the Certificate Application is approved and a Product is otherwise ready for issuance, the Certificate Application approval will automatically expire.
- You must review the information in the Certificate and promptly notify us of any errors. Upon receipt of such notice, we may revoke the Certificate and issue a corrected Certificate.
- Services and charges
- Details of our products, prices and full services can be found on our website at www.names.co.uk/info/company/price-list.
- Duration
- The Contract for the Certificate will be for a period of time dependant on the Minimum Term chosen, starting at the time the order is accepted. The Minimum Term will expire unless it is renewed for a subsequent period. This is subject to the provisions for early termination set out in the Terms and Conditions.
- When You purchase a certificate for 2 years, the SSL will be issued across two separate certificates of 1 year, to comply with browser requirements. After the initial 1 year term has passed, a new Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and a new Domain Certificate Validation (DCV) is required, meaning the certificate will need to be re-issued by Us and re-installed by You. The re-issue/re-install process is free, unless you choose to amend the SSL order. If You do not complete your re-issue/re-install process on time, your existing SSL will no longer be valid. We will notify you prior to the end date of your first 1-year certificate and ask you to re-install the next 1 year SSL certificate.
- Consequences of termination
- On termination for any reason, we will cease to provide the Services and your Certificates will be deleted.
- If you terminate the Services during the Minimum Term, you will be liable to pay us the charges that would have arisen from the date of termination until the expiry of the Minimum Term.
- Ownership of data and indemnity
- All data created or stored by you within our applications and servers is your property.
- We will allow access to such data only by our authorised personnel.
- You will indemnify us and keep us indemnified against any claim, loss or damage in respect of any content, email content or any other data contained within your Products.
- Use of Certificates
- You represent and warrant that you have the necessary rights to any data, software programs or services that you use in connection with your access or use of the Certificates and that such activities do not infringe the intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any third party.
- You agree to access and use the Certificates:
- Without violating the rights of any third party or purporting to subject us or External Providers to any other obligations to you or any third party, and
- Solely in a manner that complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
- We will provide support to you for use of the Certificates and you will not receive customer support from External Providers.
