NetNames is an accredited
registrar with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN")
for the .biz Top Level Domain ("TLD").
As an accredited domain name registrar, NetNames is, upon accepting your application
to register or renew a domain name with a .biz TLD, your sponsor for that application.
All .biz names we register or renew are not effective until we have delivered
the domain name registration or renewal information you provide us to the registry
administrator for the .biz TLD, and the registry administrator puts into effect
your domain name registration or renewal. Currently, the registry administrator
for the .biz name is NeuLevel, Inc.
Registrations in the .biz
TLD must be used or intended to be used primarily for bona fide business or
commercial purposes. For purposes of the .biz Registration Restrictions ("Restrictions"),
"bona fide business or commercial use" shall mean the bona fide use
or bona fide intent to use the domain name or any content, software, materials,
graphics or other information thereon, to permit Internet users to access one
or more host computers through the DNS:
(a) To exchange goods, services, or property of any kind;
(b) In the ordinary course of trade or business; or
(c) To facilitate (i) the exchange of goods, services, information, or property
of any kind; or, (ii) the ordinary course of trade or business.
Registering a domain name solely for the purposes of (1) selling, trading or
leasing the domain name for compensation, or (2) the unsolicited offering to
sell, trade or lease the domain name for compensation shall not constitute a
"bona fide business or commercial use" of that domain name.
As a .biz domain name registrant, the Customer hereby certifies to the best
of their knowledge that:
(a) The registered domain name will be used primarily for bona fide business
or commercial purposes and not (i) exclusively for personal use; or (ii) solely
for the purposes of (1) selling, trading or leasing the domain name for compensation,
or (2) the unsolicited offering to sell, trade or lease the domain name for
compensation. For more information on the .biz restrictions, which are incorporated
herein by reference, please see: http://www.neulevel.com/countdown/registrationRestrictions.html
(b) The Customer has the authority to enter into the registration agreement;
and
(c) The registered domain name is reasonably related to the Customer's business
or intended commercial purpose at the time of registration.
You acknowledge having read and understood and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the following documents, as they may be amended from time to time, which are hereby incorporated and made an integral part of this Agreement:
1. The Uniform Domain Name
Dispute Resolution Policy, available at the Domain Name Dispute Policy
2. The Start-up Dispute Resolution Policy ("SUDRP"), available at
