PART A - Terms that apply to all domain name registrations
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
General
1. Introduction
Melbourne IT is an accredited Registrar of Internet Corporation For Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This domain name registration agreement (Registration Agreement) is submitted by you, the applicant for, and on registration, the licence holder of a domain name (refered to in this Agreement as you, your and the Registrant) to Melbourne IT Limited ACN 073 716 793 (Melbourne IT) for the purpose of registering a domain name.
Part A sets out the general provisions governing all domain name registrations governed by this Registration Agreement.
Part B sets out the additional provisions specific to .com, .net and .org domain name registrations.
Part C sets out the additional provisions specific to multi-lingual domain name registrations.
Part D sets out the additional provisions specific to other domain name pre-registrations and registrations governed by this Registration Agreement.
If this Registration Agreement is accepted by Melbourne IT, Registrant agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Registration Agreement in respect of any domain name pre-registrations or registrations submitted by Registrant to Melbourne IT.
2. Changes to this Registration Agreement
Melbourne IT may change the terms and conditions of this Registration Agreement either by obtaining your consent or giving you notice. The period of notice given by Melbourne IT depends on the nature of the change. If:
1. the change will benefit you, we may make the change immediately and are not required to notify you prior to the change;
2. the change is required by law, a regulatory body (including ICANN, auDA or any other domain name regulatory body) or for a technical reason (including for security), we will give you a reasonable period of notice not exceeding 3 days;
3. we consider that the change has a significant and detrimental impact on our customers generally, we will give you at least 30 days notice prior to the change, and
4. for all other changes, we will also give you at least 30 days notice prior to the change.
Melbourne IT may give notice of a change by posting the new version of the Agreement on its website located at www.melbourneit.com.au/policies.
3. Licensing of Domain Name
Registrant remains the responsible contracting party under this Registration Agreement, even if Registrant licenses use of the domain name to a third party.
4. Dispute Policy
Registrant agrees, as a condition to submitting this Registration Agreement, and if the Registration Agreement is accepted by Melbourne IT, that on successful registration of any domain name under this Agreement the Registrant is bound by Melbourne IT's current dispute policy and the dispute policy procedures. Registrant acknowledges that the dispute policy described in this clause 4 is the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the UDRP Dispute Policy). Registrant agrees that in respect of the pre-registration or registration of other domain names covered by this agreement in Part D, other dispute policies may apply as specified by the registry administrator of those domain names from time to time, as described in more detail in Part D (the "Other Dispute Policies"). Registrant agrees that Melbourne IT may change or modify the UDRP Dispute Policy, incorporated by reference herein, at any time. Registrant agrees that Registrant's maintaining the registration of a domain name after changes or modifications to the UDRP Dispute Policy become effective constitutes Registrant's continued acceptance of these changes or modifications. Registrant agrees that any dispute relating to registration or use of its domain name (and which is not the subject of the Other Dispute Policies) will be subject to the provisions specified in the UDRP Dispute Policy. Without prejudice to other potentially applicable jurisdictions, Registrant submits to the jurisdiction of the courts as described in clause 19. The UDRP Dispute Policy can be viewed at http://www.inww.com/policies/gtlddispute.php3. The UDRP Dispute Policy procedure can be viewed at http://www.inww.com/policies/gtldrules.php3.
5. Agents
Registrant agrees that if this Registration Agreement is completed by an agent for the Registrant, such as an Administrative Contact/Agent, the Registrant is nonetheless bound as a principal by all terms and conditions herein, including the relevant domain name dispute policy.
6. Expiration of the domain name license
i. You may renew your domain name with Melbourne IT at any time before the date 40 days after the Expiry Date (Renewal Deadline).
ii. Registrant acknowledges that certain registry authorities offer a further period after the Renewal Deadline during which a registrant may renew their domain name before it is available for re-registration by other parties.

This clause survives termination of this Agreement.
9. Breach
Registrant agrees that failure to abide by any provision of this Registration Agreement or the relevant domain name dispute policy (including, without limitation, any domain name dispute policy that applies during a pre-registration period) may be considered by Melbourne IT to be a material breach and that Melbourne IT may provide a notice, describing the breach, to the Registrant.

Notice may be given by mail, facsimile or electronic means.
10. No Warranty by Melbourne IT
Registrant agrees that neither a pre-registration application nor a registration of a domain name grants any legal rights of ownership of the relevant domain name, nor does it confer immunity from objection to the pre-registration, registration or use of the domain name.

Registrant agrees, in addition to the indemnity above, to keep indemnified, release and hold harmless Melbourne IT and the registry administrator, their directors, officers, employees and agents, against any claim for damage or loss arising from any failure of Registrant's domain name to be renewed by Registrant.
(ii) Registrant warrants that, to the best of Registrant's knowledge and belief, neither its registration of a domain name nor the manner in which it is directly or indirectly used infringes the legal rights of a third party. Breach of this warranty will constitute a material breach.
12. Revocation
Registrant agrees that Melbourne IT may delete a Registrant's domain name if any information required to be supplied by the Registrant under this Registration Agreement, or subsequent modification(s) thereto, is false or misleading, or conceals or omits any information Melbourne IT would likely consider material to its decision to approve this Registration Agreement.

17. Non payment
Registrant agrees that failure to pay any fee for its domain name when due (as evidenced for example by, without limitation, Registrant's payment method company notifying Melbourne IT of Registrant disputing the payment of, or refusing to pay such Registration fee, or where the Registrant's credit card or PayPal payment has been declined or reversed) will entitle Melbourne IT to immediately transfer the relevant domain name from the Registrant to Melbourne IT, at its sole discretion. Registrant acknowledges that Melbourne IT will own all rights of the registered domain name holder in respect of any domain name transferred to Melbourne IT under this clause 16, including the right to sell the domain name to a third party.
