"our" refer to TUCOWS Inc. and “Services” refers to the .tv domain
name registration provided by us as offered through SelectNet Internet Services
(“RSP”). This Agreement explains our obligations to you, and explains
your obligations to us for various Services.
2. SELECTION OF A DOMAIN NAME. You represent that, to the
best of the your knowledge and belief, neither this registration
of a domain name nor the manner in which it is directly or indirectly
to be used infringes upon the legal rights of a third party and,
further, that the domain name is not being registered for nor shall
it at any time whatsoever be used for any unlawful purpose whatsoever.
3. FEES. As consideration for the Services you have selected,
you agree to pay RSP the applicable service(s) fees. All fees payable

complete and accurate. All such information shall be referred to
as account information ("Account Information"). By submitting this
Agreement, you represent that the statements in your Application
are true, complete and accurate. Failure to maintain accurate information
will be considered a material breach of this Agreement and will
entitle us to delete your domain name registration.
4.TERM. This Agreement shall remain in full force during
the length of the term of your domain name registration(s) as selected,
recorded, and paid for upon registration of the domain name. Should
you choose to renew or otherwise lengthen the term of your domain
name registration, then the term of this Registration Agreement
shall be extended accordingly. Should the domain name be transferred
to another Registrar, the terms and conditions of this contract
shall cease.

all such revisions. If you do not agree with any revision to the
Agreement, you may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing
us with notice by e-mail or postal service pursuant to the Notices
section of this Agreement. Notice of your termination shall be effective
after processing by us. You agree that, by continuing the use of
Services following notice of any revision to this Agreement or change

7. DOMAIN NAME DISPUTE POLICY. If you reserved or registered
a domain name through us, or transferred a domain name to us from
another Registrar, you agree to be bound by the Dispute Policy that
is incorporated herein and made a part of this Agreement by reference.
The current version of the Dispute Policy may be found at http://www.opensrs.org/legal/udrp.shtml.
Please take the time to familiarize yourself with this policy.
8. DOMAIN NAME DISPUTES. You agree that, if the registration
or reservation of your domain name is challenged by a third party,
you will be subject to the provisions specified in the Dispute Policy.
You agree that in the event a domain name dispute arises with any
third party, you will indemnify and hold us harmless pursuant to
the terms and conditions contained in the Dispute Policy.
9. POLICY. You agree that your registration of the .tv domain
name shall be subject to suspension, cancellation, or transfer pursuant
to any ICANN or government adopted policy, or pursuant to any Registrar
or registry procedure not inconsistent with an ICANN or government-adopted
policy, (1) to correct mistakes by us or the applicable Registry
in registering the name or (2) for the resolution of disputes concerning
the domain name. You acknowledge that you have reviewed the .tv
General Terms of Service which may be found at: http://www.tv/en-def-5066945b5fcc/en/policies/tos.shtml
and expressly agree to the terms outlined therein.
10. AGENCY. Should you intend to license use of a domain
name to a third party you shall nonetheless be the domain name holder
of record and are therefore responsible for providing your own full
contact information and for providing and updating accurate technical
and administrative contact information adequate to facilitate timely
resolution of any problems that arise in connection with the domain
name. You shall accept liability for harm caused by wrongful use
of the domain name. You represent that you have provided notice
of the terms and conditions in this Agreement to a third party licensee
and that the third party agrees to the terms hereof.
11. ANNOUNCEMENTS. We reserve the right to distribute information
to you that is pertinent to the quality or operation of our services
and those of our service partners. These announcements will be predominately
informative in nature and may include notices describing changes,
upgrades, new products or other information to add security or to
enhance your identity on the Internet.
12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. You agree that our entire liability,
and your exclusive remedy, with respect to any Services(s) provided
under this Agreement and any breach of this Agreement is solely
limited to the amount you paid for such Service(s). Neither we,
nor our contractors or third party beneficiaries shall be liable
for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages
resulting from the use or inability to use any of the Services or
for the cost of procurement of substitute services. Because some
jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability
for consequential or incidental damages, in such jurisdictions,
our liability is limited to the extent permitted by law. We disclaim
any and all loss or liability resulting from, but not limited to:
(1) loss or liability resulting from access delays or access interruptions;
(2) loss or liability resulting from data non-delivery or data mis-delivery;
(3) loss or liability resulting from acts of God; (4) loss or liability
resulting from the unauthorized use or misuse of your account identifier
or password; (5) loss or liability resulting from errors, omissions,
or misstatements in any and all information or services(s) provided
under this Agreement; (6) loss or liability resulting from the interruption
of your Service. You agree that we will not be liable for any loss
of registration and use of your domain name, or for interruption
of business, or any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential
damages of any kind (including lost profits) regardless of the form
of action whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise,
even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
In no event shall our maximum liability exceed five hundred ($500.00)
dollars.
13. INDEMNITY. You agree to release, indemnify, and hold
us, our contractors, agents, employees,officers, directors, affiliates
and third party beneficiaires harmless from all liabilities, claims
and expenses, including attorney's fees, of third parties relating
to or arising under this Agreement, the Services provided hereunder
or your use of the Services, including without limitation infringement
by you, or someone else using the Service of any intellectual property
or other proprietary right of any person or entity, or from the
violation of any of our operating rules or policy relating to the
Service(s) provided. You also agree to release, indemnify and hold
us harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the
Dispute Policy. When we are threatened with suit by a third party,
we may seek written assurances from you concerning your promise
to indemnify us; your failure to provide those assurances shall
be a breach of your Agreement and may result in deactivation of
your domain name.
14. TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP. The person named as administrative
contact at the time the user name and password are secured shall
be the owner of the domain name. You agree that prior to transferring
ownership of your domain name to another person (the Transferee")
you shall require the Transferee to agree in writing to be bound
by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Your domain name
will not be transferred until we receive such written assurances
or other reasonable assurance that the Transferee has been bound
by the contractual terms of this Agreement (such reasonable assurance
as determined by us in our sole discretion). If the Transferee fails
to be bound in a reasonable fashion (as determine by us in our sole
discretion) to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, any such
transfer will be null and void.
15. BREACH. You agree that failure to abide by any provision
of this Agreement, any operating rule or policy or the Dispute Policy
provided by us, may be considered by us to be a material breach
and that we may provide a written notice, describing the breach,
to you. If within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of such
notice, you fail to provide evidence, which is reasonably satisfactory
to us, that you have not breached your obligations under the Agreement,
then we may delete the registration or reservation of your domain
name. Any such breach by you shall not be deemed to be excused simply
because we did not act earlier in response to that, or any other
breach by you.
16. NO GUARANTY. You acknowledge that registration or reservation
of your chosen domain name, does not confer immunity from objection
to either the registration, reservation, or use of the domain name.
17. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. You agree that your use of
our Services is solely at your own risk. You agree that such Service(s)
is provided on an "as is," "as available" basis. We expressly disclaim
all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including
but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness
for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We make no warranty
that the Services will meet your requirements, or that the Service(s)
will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error free; nor do we
make any warranty as to the results that may be obtained from the
use of the Service(s) or as to the accuracy or reliability of any
information obtained through the Service or that defects in the
Service will be corrected. You understand and agree that any material
and/or data downloaded or otherwise obtained through the use of
Service is done at your own discretion and risk and that you will
be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or
loss of data that results from the download of such material and/or
data. We make no warranty regarding any goods or services purchased
or obtained through the Service or any transactions entered into
through the Service. No advice or information, whether oral or written,
obtained by you from us or through the Service shall create any
warranty not expressly made herein.

are required to provide us certain information and to update us
promptly as such information changes such that our records are current,
complete and accurate. You are obliged to provide us the following
information: (i) Your name and postal address (or, if different,
that of the domain name holder); (ii) The domain name being registered;
(iii) The name, postal address, e-mail address, and voice and fax
(if available) telephone numbers of the administrative contact for

and services offered to you through your RSP.
19. DISCLOSURE AND USE OF REGISTRATION INFORMATION. You agree
and acknowledge that we will make domain name registration information
you provide available to ICANN, to the registry administrators,
and to other third parties as applicable. You further agree and
acknowledge that we may make publicly available, or directly available
to third party vendors, some, or all, of the domain name registration
information you provide, for purposes of inspection (such as through
our WHOIS service) or other purposes as required or permitted by
ICANN and applicable laws. You hereby consent to any and all such
disclosures and use of information provided by you in connection
with the registration of a domain name (including any updates to
such information), whether during or after the term of your registration
of the domain name. You hereby irrevocably waive any and all claims
and causes of action you may have arising from such disclosure or
use of your domain name registration information by us. You may
access your domain name registration information in our possession
to review, modify or update such information, by accessing our domain
manager service, or similar service, made available by us through
your RSP. We will not process data about any identified or identifiable
natural person that we obtain from you in a way incompatible with
the purposes and other limitations which we describe in this Agreement.
We will take reasonable precautions to protect the information we
obtain from you from our loss, misuse, unauthorized accessor disclosure,
alteration or destruction of that information.
20. REVOCATION. Your wilful provision of inaccurate or unreliable
information, your wilful failure promptly to update information
provided to us, or your failure to respond for over fifteen (15)
calendar days to inquiries by us concerning the accuracy of contact
details associated with the your registration shall constitute a
material breach of this Agreement and be a basis for cancellation
of the domain name registration.
21. RIGHT OF REFUSAL. We, in our sole discretion, reserve
the right to refuse to register or reserve your chosen domain name
or register you for other Services. In the event we do not register
or reserve your domain name or register you for other Services,
or we delete your domain name or other Services within such thirty
(30) calendar day period, we agree to refund your applicable fee(s).
You agree that we shall not be liable to you for loss or damages
that may result from our refusal to register, reserve, or delete
your domain name or register you for other Services. We reserve
the right to delete or transfer your domain name within a thirty
(30) day period following registration if we believe the registration
has been made possible by a mistake, made either by us or by a third
party.
22. SEVERABILITY. You agree that the terms of this Agreement
are severable. If any term or provision is declared invalid or unenforceable,
that term or provision will be construed consistent with applicable
law as nearly as possible to reflect the original intentions of
the parties, and the remaining terms and provisions will remain
in full force and effect.
23. NON-AGENCY. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the
Dispute Policy shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership,
or other form of joint enterprise between the parties.
24. NON-WAIVER. Our failure to require performance by you
of any provision hereof shall not affect the full right to require
such performance at any time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by
us of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a
waiver of the provision itself.

given under this Agreement shall be in writing and given by sending
