Customer acknowledges and agrees that:

Customer is subject to the relevant naming authority's terms and conditions of
use and the Customer undertakes to Enbecom that it will comply with such terms
and conditions. The Customer hereby irrevocably waives any claims it may have
against Enbecom in respect of any decision of a naming authority to refuse to

domain name registration service supplier is required to provide certain information about customers
who register domain names through Enbecom to the relevant naming authority. This
information will include personal data such as the customers name, address and
telephone number. The relevant naming authority will make such information
available to the public through publicly accessible directories of owners of
domain names. It is a condition of the purchase of a domain name through Enbecom

personal data available on a public database. Enbecom can provide its customers
with details of the relevant naming authority on request.

parties concerned and Enbecom will take no part in any such dispute. Enbecom
reserves the right, on becoming aware of such a dispute concerning a domain
name, at its sole discretion and without giving any reason, to either suspend or
cancel the relevant service associated with the domain name, and/or to make such
representations to the relevant naming authority as it deems appropriate.

shall at all times remain the sole property of Enbecom and the Customer will
have a non-transferable licence to use such address for the duration of this
Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated for whatever reason, the Customer's
licence to use the Internet Protocol address shall automatically terminate and
thereafter it will not use such address.

expressly understood and agreed by the Customer and Enbecom that the Uniform
Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy as approved and adopted by the Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is hereby incorporated by
reference in this Service Agreement and is legally binding on the Customer and
Enbecom with respect to all registrations in the .com, .net and .org. top level
