3. When a domain name in the .nz domain name space is registered to you, then you agree:

(a) that the following information becomes available to any member of the public:

- your name
- your contact details; and
- the domain name, its commencement and expiry dates and addresses/details of the name servers for it and our name;

(b) the domain name is registered in your name only because no other person has it according to the records of the register;

(c) neither we nor anybody else is representing anything else to anybody regarding that domain name. The entry of a domain name in the "who is' database shall not be taken as evidence of anything other than such registration; and

(d) that you protect us and everybody we have a business relationship with to provide services to you, from any claim arising out of the domain name being registered in your name or as you direct.

4. For all purposes the details shown in the register shall be treated as correct and the authoritative record.

5. If we are going to cancel the registration of a domain name registered to you as a result of you not paying our charges relating to that registration, we will give you 14 days' notice before we initiate action to cancel that domain name.

6. You acknowledge that, except where we have acted in bad faith, neither we nor the registry, InternetNZ nor any officers, employees, contractors or agents of any of us, is liable to you or has to pay you for anything else in connection with or resulting from anything any of them does or does not do, or delays in doing, whether or not it is contemplated or authorised by the agreement you have with us. This exclusion applies whatever you are claiming for and in whatever way liability might arise. If any of the people named in this clause is ever liable to you and for any reason cannot rely on the exclusion of liability set out in this clause then the maximum combined amount that the persons specified above (together) will have to pay you and anyone else who uses the services we provide for you (together) is the amount of the last month's fee paid by you for our Domain Name Service. This clause does not in any way limit the exclusions and limitations of liability in our standard business or residential terms (whichever are applicable to you). Nothing in this clause limits any rights you may have under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.

7. All charges in connection with domain name registration or renewal (as specified by us from time to time) must be paid in advance. No application for registration or renewal will be submitted until we have received payment from you. As a result, non-payment of charges may result in your domain name registration lapsing or being terminated. Charges are not refundable.

8. These terms apply in addition to our One NZ fixed line and broadband terms and conditions. If there is any conflict between these terms and our One NZ fixed line and broadband terms and conditions then these terms prevail.
