Domain Registration Agreement
NOTE: On March 5, 2024, , we updated our Domain Registration Agreement to revise the notice provision. We also updated our Domain Registration Agreement on January 31, 2024, to emphasize that the registrant is responsible for ensuring their domains are renewed prior to their expiration. Please read the updated terms below.
1. AGREEMENT.
This Domain Registration Agreement ("Agreement") is between AntForce LLC., as the sponsoring registrar or acting as reseller for the sponsoring registrar identified in the WHOIS record which may be retrieved here ("we," "us," "our," or "Registrar"), and you, the person or entity registering a domain or domains through AntForce. This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of your use of the domain registration services and other related services made available by us and on our website (collectively, the “Services”).Use of the Services is also governed by the User Agreement and its policies, which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference, including but not limited to:
Privacy Notice and Domain Registration Services Privacy Notice Addendum
2. SELECTION OF A DOMAIN NAME.
You represent that, to the best of your knowledge and belief, neither the registration of the domain name nor the manner in which it is directly or indirectly used infringes the legal rights of any third party and that the domain name is not being registered for any unlawful purpose.
3. FEES.
You agree to pay Registrar, the applicable fees for the Services. All fees payable hereunder are non-refundable.
4. REGISTRATION RENEWAL.
a. Renewal Obligations. You are solely responsible for ensuring that any and all domains and additional services are renewed prior to their expiration, should you so desire their renewal. You may renew your domain at any time before the expiration date. AntForce shall have no liability to you or any third party in connection with the renewal, including, but not limited to, any failure or errors in renewing the Services.
You may be notified at AntForce's sole discretion when renewal fees are due. Should these fees go unpaid within the time specified in a notice or reminder regarding renewal, your registration will be cancelled. Payment must be made by such other method as we indicate in the renewal form. If your billing information is not accurate, you are solely responsible for the failure to renew. Additional information about domain renewal and expiration are available here. Current renewal and redemption fees are available here.
b. Autorenewal. You agree that if you paid for any Services provided hereunder by credit card or other payment service (such as PayPal), you hereby authorize but do NOT obligate, AntForce to automatically charge your credit card or payment service account and renew the applicable service(s) on or before their renewal date using the credit card or other acceptable payment information you have provided to AntForce, unless you notify AntForce that you do not wish to participate in AntForce’s automatic renewal process. AntForce must receive notification of your intent to not renew (opt-out) at least at least sixteen (16) calendar days, or other timeframe as communicated by AntForce in its sole discretion, prior to the renewal date. In the absence of such notification from you, AntForce will automatically renew, for a period of one (1) or two (2) years, as set forth by the applicable registry depending on the TLD or ccTLD of your domain name, any domain that is up for renewal and will charge the credit card or payment service account you have on file with AntForce, at AntForce's then current rates. You are solely responsible for the credit card or other payment information you provide to AntForce and must promptly inform AntForce of any changes thereto (e.g., change of expiration date or account number). If the credit card or payment service account has expired or is otherwise invalid, you are solely responsible for a failure to renew and AntForce shall not be liable for your failure.
c. Expired domain names. You agree that we may place our contact information in the Registration Information Database output for any expired domain name, as the failure to renew results in the immediate cancellation of registration and loss of all rights to the domain name. Should you choose not to renew your domain name, you agree that we may, in our sole discretion, renew and transfer the domain name to a third party on your behalf as an expired domain transfer ("ED Transfer").
5. TERM.
You agree that the Agreement will remain in full force during the length of the term of your domain name registration. Should you choose to renew or otherwise lengthen the term of your domain name registration, then the term of this Agreement will be extended accordingly.

b. Although the Private WHOIS Contact Information will appear in any public WHOIS search result, you are solely responsible for resolving any and all monetary, creditor, infringement or other claims that arise in connection with a legal or other dispute involving your domain name registration. Use of the Domain Privacy service in no way alleviates your obligation to provide valid and accurate Registration Information and to update and correct such information pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
c. The Domain Privacy service is NOT a general mail forwarding service. You agree that you will not provide any third party with the Private WHOIS Contact Information for the purpose of having such third party transmit communications to you.

ii. To comply with ICANN's Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy;

h. Pursuant to paragraph 3.7.7.3 of ICANN's Registrar Accreditation Agreement ("RAA"), you agree that if you license use of a Registered Name (as that term is defined in the RAA) to a third party, you are nonetheless the Registered Name Holder of record (as that term is defined in the RAA) and are responsible for providing your Registration Information and for providing and updating valid and accurate Registration Information adequate to facilitate timely resolution of any problems that arise in connection with the Registered Name. A Registered Name Holder licensing use of a Registered Name according to this provision shall accept liability for harm caused by wrongful use of the Registered Name unless the Registered Name Holder promptly discloses the identity of the licensee to the party claiming violation or infringement of its rights.
