The following terms and conditions apply to Pixelism's domain registration service:

Governing Bodies
Pixelism, via Fasthosts, has been granted the right to provide Internet domain registration services for second-level domain names within the .com, .org, .net, .co.uk, .mobi, .eu, .org.uk, .ltd.uk and .plc.uk top-level domains.

ICANN oversees the .com, .org, .mobi and .net top-level domains. Nominet oversees the .co.uk, .org.uk, .ltd.uk and .plc.uk top-level domains.
EURID oversees the .eu top-level domain.

Upon Pixelism's receipt of domain name registration information from you, we shall submit the information to the registry administrator for the appropriate top-level domain for approval and processing. The registry administrator then puts into effect the domain name registration. Network Solutions, Inc. currently acts as the registry administrator for the .com, .mobi, .org, and .net top-level domains. Nominet UK acts as the registry administrator for the .co.uk, .org.uk, .ltd.uk and .plc.uk top-level domains. EURID acts as the registry administrator for the .eu top-level domain.

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.

If you are registering your name during the finite period of time when owners of trademarks and service marks issued prior to October 2, 2000 and having national effect will have the exclusive opportunity to register identical domain names ("Sunrise Period"). You acknowledge and agree that registrations for domain names during the Sunrise Period will only be accepted for a minimum registration term of five (5) years.

By registering or renewing a .uk top-level domain and agreeing to these terms & conditions, you agree that you have read and agree to the terms & conditions of Nominet, If you are registering the domain for a third party, you agree that they have read and agree to the Nominet T&C's as well.

.name RESTRICTIONS
Registrations in the .name top-level domain must constitute an individual's "Personal Name". For purposes of the .name restrictions (the "Restrictions"), a "Personal Name" is a person's legal name, or a name by which the person is commonly known. A "name by which a person is commonly known" includes, without limitation, a pseudonym used by an author or painter, or a stage name used by a singer or actor.

FEES
As consideration for Pixelism providing domain name registration services to you, you agree to pay Pixelism, within our settlement terms, the amounts set forth in Pixelism's price listing, as amended from time to time, for the initial registration of the domain name and any subsequent renewals. Pixelism reserves the right to cancel that registration or restrict use of the domain name until payment has been received.

All fees are non-refundable, in whole or in part, even if the domain name registration is suspended, cancelled or transferred prior to the end of the registration term.

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.

To ensure your domains are not lost we operate a positive renewal system on all our domains - you will be notified in advance that your domain is about to expire and given the option to opt out of the renewal, if of any reason you do not contact us, then we will ensure your registration continues and automatically renew your domain. This is not refundable and it is your responsibility to ensure valid contact and payment details are on your account at all times - failure can lead to suspension.

Pixelism's domain renewal process is automated and we confirm all domain renewals by email. However, it is your responsibility to check that your renewal has been successful within one month of the renewal date. For .uk domains you can do this using Nominet's WhoIs search, and for all other domains we recommend using the Tucows website domain lookup facility.

DISPUTE POLICY
You agree to be bound by the Fasthosts Domain Name Dispute Policy (the "Dispute Policy"), as amended from time to time, which is hereby incorporated and made a part of this Agreement by reference. The Dispute Policy can be found at the end of this document.

The Dispute Policy governs any dispute between you and any party other than us over the registration and use of the domain name. The specific disputes which are subject to the Dispute Policy are contained in the Dispute Policy. You agree that you will be subject to the provisions specified in the Dispute Policy in effect at the time the domain name registration is disputed by a third party.

You also agree that in the event a domain name dispute arises with any third party, you shall indemnify and hold Fasthosts harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Dispute Policy.

CHANGES TO REGISTRATION AGREEMENT AND DISPUTE POLICY
You acknowledge and recognize that the domain name system and the practice of registering and administering domain names are continuously evolving, and acknowledge and agree that Fasthosts may modify this Agreement and the Dispute Policy as necessary from time to time to comply with any agreements by which Fasthosts is or will be bound, and to adjust to changing business circumstances.

Your continued use of the registered domain name constitutes acceptance of this Agreement and amendments. If at any time, you do not agree to such changes, you agree that your sole remedy is to request that your domain name registration be cancelled or transferred to a different domain name registrar.
