Please take the time to familiarize yourself with that policy. You hereby acknowledge that you have 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:

You agree that, if your use of our domain name registration services is challenged by a third party, you will be subject to the provisions specified in the dispute policy in effect at the time of the dispute.

We may not allow you to make changes to such domain name record until (i) we are directed to do so by the judicial or administrative body, or (ii) we receive notification by you and the other party contesting your registration and use of our domain name registration services that the dispute has been settled.
[Registrar] and Registry Operator expressly reserve the right to deny, cancel or transfer any registration that it deems necessary, in its discretion, to protect the integrity and stability of the Registry, to comply with any applicable laws, government rules or requirements, requests of law enforcement, in compliance with any dispute resolution process, or to avoid any liability, civil or criminal, on the part of [Registrar] and/or Registry Operator, as well as their affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors and employees.

Defensive Registrations allow owners of trademarks to exclusively pre-register on the .name space and create a protective barrier for their trademarks. A “Defensive Registration” is a registration granted to a registrant which aims to prevent a third party from registering either (i) any variation of a trademark (a Premium Defensive Registration), or (ii) an exact match of a trademark (a Standard Defensive Registration), which registration will not resolve within the domain name system.
Please refer to the following URLs for a service description of .name defensive registrations:
Anyone may apply and register a Defensive Registration, for any string or combination of strings.
You agree that Registry Operator may modify the dispute policy. Registry Operator will post any such revised policy on its Web site at least thirty (30) calendar days before it becomes effective. You agree that, by maintaining the Defensive Registration after modifications to the dispute policy become effective, you have agreed to these modifications. You acknowledge that if you do not agree to any such modification, you may terminate this Agreement. We will not refund any fees paid by you if you terminate your Agreement with us.
You agree that, if your Defensive Registration is challenged by a third party, you will be subject to the provisions specified in our Defensive Registration dispute policy in effect at the time of the dispute. You agree that in the event a Defensive Registration dispute arises with any third party, you will indemnify and hold [Registrar] harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth below in this Agreement.

We may not allow you to make changes to such Defensive Registration record until (i) we are directed to do so by the judicial or administrative body, or (ii) we receive notification by you and the other party contesting your Defensive Registration and use of our domain name registration services that the dispute has been settled.
Defensive Registrants may be asked to give their consent to allow individuals to share a part of their space. For example, if you have filed a Defensive Registration on PQR (which blocks out the second level PQR.name, and the third level registrations ANYSTRING.PQR.name and PQR.ANYSTRING.name and their corresponding email addresses), you may be asked to give consent to John Pqr to register JOHN.PQR.name if he can prove that PQR is his name. In such a circumstance, you will have 10 days to respond to a request for consent.
[Registrar] and Registry Operator, expressly reserve the right to deny, cancel or transfer any Defensive Registration that it deems necessary, in its discretion, to protect the integrity and stability of the Registry, to comply with any applicable laws, government rules or requirements, requests of law enforcement, in compliance with any dispute resolution process, or to avoid any liability, civil or criminal, on the part of [Registrar] and/or Registry Operator, as well as their affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors and employees.

This indemnification obligation will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
The NameWatch service allows monitoring of all registrations on the .name gTLD. Any registration of a .name, both Domain Names and .name Email, where the trademark/string is included, will trigger notification. This will allow the intellectual property holder early identification of potential threats. The reports, which cover both Domain Names and .name Email, are available daily, weekly or monthly and can significantly increase the trademark holder’s protection and follow-up of the trademark; provided that neither The Global Name Registry, Limited (“Registry Operator”) nor we provide no guarantee that any potential threats will be identified.
