Agreement

In this Service Agreement ("Agreement") "you" and "your" refer to each customer, "we", us" and "our" refer to DreamHost.com and "Services" refers to the services provided by us. This Agreement explains our obligations to you, and explains your obligations to us for various Services. By selecting our Services you have agreed to establish an account with us for such Services. When you use your account or permit someone else to use it to purchase or otherwise acquire access to additional Services or to cancel your Services (even if we were not notified of such authorization), this Agreement covers such service or actions. By using the Services under this Agreement, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement and any pertinent rules or policies that are or may be published by us.

Selection of a Domain Name

We cannot and do not check to see whether the domain name you select, or the use you make of the domain name, infringes legal rights of any third party. We urge you to investigate to see whether the domain name you select or its use infringes legal rights of others, and in particular we suggest you seek advice of competent counsel. You may wish to consider seeking one or more trademark registrations in connection with your domain name. You should be aware that there is the possibility we might be ordered by a court to cancel, modify, or transfer your domain name. You should be aware that if we are sued or threatened with lawsuit in connection with your domain name, we may turn to you to hold us harmless and indemnify us.

Fees, Payment & Term

As consideration for the services you have selected, you agree to pay us the applicable service(s) fees. All fees payable hereunder are non-refundable unless we provide otherwise. As further consideration for the Services, you agree to: (1) provide certain current, complete and accurate information about you as required by the registration process and (2) maintain and update this information as needed to keep it current, complete and accurate. All such information shall be referred to as account information ("Account Information").

The fee for all domain registrations is variable and dependent on the TLD chosen. Pricing is displayed during the registration and renewal process. A one-year .art, .bar, .biz, .blog, .click, .cloud, .club, .co, .com, .design, .food, .forum, .help, .info, .io, .love, .me, .net, .online, .org, .property, .rest, .shop, .site, .store, .tech, .tv, .us, or .xyz domain registration is included with 1-year or 3-year Starter and Shared Unlimited hosting and DreamPress plans. A maximum of one included domain name registration is provided per DreamHost account, regardless of the number of otherwise eligible plans. Downgrading from an annual or 3-year shared plan or DreamPress plan to monthly shared hosting, or canceling your hosting plan within the term for which the domain registration is included, will result in a charge for the included domain registration at the then-current, non-promotional rate. The included domain cannot be combined with any other promotions or offers, and the list of domains available under this promotion is subject to change at any time without notice. Also, sale prices do not apply to domain transfers.

You hereby grant us the right to disclose to third parties such Account Information. The Registrant, by completing and submitting the Domain Name Registration Agreement ("Registration Agreement"), represents that the statements in its application are true and that the registration of the selected Domain Name, so far as the Registrant is aware, does not interfere with or infringe upon the rights of any third party. The Registrant also represents that the Domain Name is not being registered for any unlawful purpose, including but not limited to distributing malware, abusively operating botnets, phishing, pharming, piracy, fraudulent or deceptive practices, counterfeiting or otherwise engaging in activity contrary to applicable law. The Registrant further represents that applicable WHOIS and Account information will be kept up to date. Willful provision of inaccurate or unreliable WHOIS or Account Information, willful failure to promptly update Account Information provided to DreamHost upon its change, or failure to respond for over fifteen (15) calendar days to inquiries by DreamHost concerning the accuracy of WHOIS or Account Information is a basis for cancellation of the registration.

Domain Transfers

You authorize DreamHost to act as your "Designated Agent" to approve each "Change of Registrant" on your behalf (both terms are defined in ICANN's Transfer Policy). Also, we will automatically implement a 60-day domain transfer lock following a "Change of Registrant" per ICANN's new Transfer Policy unless customer opts-out when submitting request.

Modifications To Agreement

You agree, during the period of this Agreement, that we may: (1) revise the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (2) change the services provided under this Agreement. Any such revision or change will be binding and effective immediately on posting of the revised Agreement or change to the service(s) on our web site, or on notification to you by e-mail or regular mail as per the Notices section of this agreement, Section 20. You agree to review our web site, including the Agreement, periodically to be aware of any such revisions. If you do not agree with any revision to the Agreement, you may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing us with notice by e-mail or regular mail as per the Notices section of this agreement, Section 20. Notice of your termination will be effective on receipt and processing by us. You agree that, by continuing to use the Services following notice of any revision to this Agreement or change in service(s), you abide by any such revisions or changes. You further agree that we, in our sole discretion, may modify our Dispute Policy at any time. You agree that, by maintaining the reservation or registration of your domain name 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 modifications, you may request that your domain name be deleted from the domain name database.

Modifications To Your Account

In order to change any of your account information with us, you must use your Account Identifier and Password that you selected when you opened your account with us. Please safeguard your Account Identifier and Password from any unauthorized use. In no event will we be liable for the unauthorized use or misuse of your Account Identifier or Password.

Domain Name Dispute Policy

If you reserved or registered a domain name through us, or transferred a domain name to us from another registrar, you agree to be bound by our current Domain Name Dispute Policy ("Dispute Policy") which is incorporated herein and made a part of this Agreement by reference. The current version of the Dispute Policy may be found at our web site: https://www.dreamhost.com/legal/domain-name-dispute-resolution-policy/. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with said policy.

Domain Name Disputes

You agree that, if the registration or reservation of your domain name 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. You agree that in the event a domain name dispute arises with any third party, you will indemnify and hold us harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Dispute Policy. For any dispute, you agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of your domicile, the courts of the geographic location indicated by your WHOIS information for your domain name, the courts of Brea, CA (DreamHost headquarters), and any other potentially applicable jurisdictions.

Agents

You agree that, if an agent for you (i.e., an Internet Service Provider, employee, etc.) purchased our Services on your behalf, you are nonetheless bound as a principal by all terms and conditions herein, including the Dispute Policy.

Announcements

We reserve the right to distribute information to you that is pertinent to the quality or operation of our services and those of our service partners. These announcements will be predominately informative in nature and may include notices describing changes, upgrades, new products or other information to add security or to enhance your identity on the Internet.

Limitation of Liability

You agree that our entire liability, and your exclusive remedy, with respect to any Services(s) provided under this Agreement and any breach of this Agreement is solely limited to the amount you paid for such Service(s). We and our contractors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages resulting from the use or inability to use any of the Services or for the cost of procurement of substitute services. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states, our liability is limited to the extent permitted by law. We disclaim any and all loss or liability resulting from, but not limited to: (1) loss or liability resulting from access delays or access interruptions; (2) loss or liability resulting from data non-delivery or data mis-delivery; (3) loss or liability resulting from acts of God; (4) loss or liability resulting from the unauthorized use or misuse of your Account Identifier or Password; (5) loss or liability resulting from errors, omissions, or misstatements in any and all information or services(s) provided under this Agreement; (6) loss or liability resulting from the development or interruption of your Web site or email service. The registrant agrees that we will not be liable for any loss of registration and use of registrant's domain name, or for interruption of business, or any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind (including lost profits) regardless of the form of action whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall our maximum liability exceed five hundred ( $500 ) dollars.

Indemnity

You agree to release, indemnify, and hold DreamHost, its affiliates and business partners, and any applicable Registry Operator, and their respective subsidiaries, subcontractors and affiliates, and the directors, officers, employees and agents of each of them, harmless from all liabilities, claims and expenses, including attorney's fees, of third parties relating to or arising under this Agreement, the Services provided hereunder or your use of the Services, including without limitation infringement by you, or someone else using the E-mail Service with your computer, of any intellectual property or other proprietary right of any person or entity, or from the violation of any of our operating rules or policy relating to the service(s) provided. You also agree to release, indemnify and hold said parties harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Dispute Policy. When we are threatened with suit by a third party, we may seek written assurances from you concerning your promise to indemnify us; your failure to provide those assurances may be considered by us to be a breach of your Agreement and may result in deactivation of your domain name. This indemnity obligation shall survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement.

Breach

You agree that failure to abide by any provision of this Agreement, any operating rule or policy or the Dispute Policy provided by us, may be considered by us to be a material breach and that we may provide a written notice, describing the breach, to you. If within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of such notice, you fail to provide evidence, which is reasonably satisfactory to us, that you have not breached your obligations under the Agreement, then we may delete the registration or reservation of your domain name or terminate your e-mail account without further notice. Any such breach by you shall not be deemed to be excused simply because we did not act earlier in response to that, or any other breach by you.

No Guarantee

You agree that, by registration or reservation of your chosen domain name, such registration or reservation does not confer immunity from objection to either the registration, reservation, or use of the domain name.

Disclaimer of Warranties

You agree and warrant that the information that you provide to us to register or reserve your domain name or register for other Services is, to the best of your knowledge and belief, accurate and complete, and that any future changes to this information will be provided to us in a timely manner according to the modification procedures in place at that time.

We make no warranty that the Services will meet your requirements, or that the Service(s) will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error free; nor do we make any warranty as to the results that may be obtained from the use of the Service(s) or as to the accuracy or reliability of any information obtained through the our e-mail service or that defects in the Services software will be corrected.

Revocation

You agree that we may delete your domain name or terminate your right to use other Services if the information that you provided to register or reserve your domain name or register for other Services, or subsequently to modify it, contains false or misleading information, or conceals or omits any information we would likely consider material to our decision to register or reserve your domain name. You agree that we may, in our sole discretion, delete, transfer, or place on registry lock, hold, or similar status, your domain name at any time.

You agree that DreamHost or any applicable Registry Operator reserves the right to deny, cancel, redirect or transfer any registration or transaction, or place any Registered domain name(s) on registry lock, hold or similar status, as they deem necessary, in either's sole discretion: (1) to correct mistakes made by Registry Operator or Registrar in registering the name, (2) to comply with specifications or policies adopted by any industry group generally recognized as authoritative with respect to the Internet, (3) for the resolution of disputes concerning the Registered Name, (4) for the non-payment of domain registration fees to DreamHost or the Registry Operator, (5) to ensure compliance with applicable law, government rules or regulations, or pursuant to any legal order or subpoena of any government, administrative or governmental authority, court of competent jurisdiction, or dispute resolution process, and/or (6) to stop or prevent any violations of DreamHost's Terms of Service and any other policies or terms referenced or published by us, or pursuant to Registry Operator's Registry Agreement with ICANN.

Right of Refusal

In the event we do not register or reserve your domain name or register you for other Services, or we delete your domain name or other Services within such thirty (30) calendar day period, we agree to refund your applicable fee(s). You agree that we shall not be liable to you for loss or damages that may result from our refusal to register or reserve, or delete your domain name or register you for other Services.

If any term or provision is declared invalid or unenforceable, that term or provision will be construed consistent with applicable law as nearly as possible to reflect the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining terms and provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Non-agency

Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Dispute Policy shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the parties.

Non-waiver

Our failure to require performance by the Registrant of any provision hereof shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by us of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself.

Renewal, Billing, and Expiration Policy

Customer's new and transferred-in domain registrations will be set to automatically renew upon expiration. The credit or debit card used for registrations will default to "autopay," and Customer's card on file will be charged for future renewals. Customer will still have the option to change the renewal status in the account panel (choosing instead to allow expiration of the domain, or to receive an email notification of an impending expiration at which point inaction will result in expiration of the domain).

Customers who have auto-renew enabled for a domain will be charged, and have the domain renewed, 31 days prior to the expiration date of the domain (your credit card on file will be immediately charged for the renewal amount). If the billing is unsuccessful, we will change the auto-renew status of the domain to "ask," and you'll be sent an email notice with instructions for renewal. You will have to manually re-enable the auto-renew status of your domain if billing is unsuccessful. Customers who have domains that are considered "auto-renew-only" by the registry will also be charged 31 days prior to the expiration date of the domain, but will renew automatically on the expiration date.

In the event that a Domain expires, DreamHost will hold the expired Domain for up to 30 days as a courtesy and not as an obligation (contractual or otherwise). 30 days after expiration, the Domain will be placed in Redemption. During the Redemption period the Domain will be inaccessible and unable to be registered elsewhere. In order to bring a Domain out of Redemption, Subscriber must pay the Redemption Fee associated with each particular Domain expiration (fees are reflected in the chart above), as well as a Renewal Fee for the current year. Domain registration vouchers cannot be applied toward the cost of Redemption. If the Domain is not redeemed within 74 days of expiration, it will be set to Pending Delete status by the domain registry. After the Pending Delete status expires, the Domain will be released for registration. During the Pending Delete period, the Domain will be inaccessible and unrecoverable. Redemption fees vary according to each domain registry and are subject to change without notice.

At least once per month prior; per week prior; and per week after expiration, DreamHost will remind Customer about these expiration dates by email. These emails will be sent to the email address selected in Customer's Contact Preferences and to the email address of the Domain Registrant.

Whois Privacy Services

Please note that DreamHost's privacy services are now governed by the Proxy Protection Agreement.

60-Day Transfer Opt-Out Information

ICANN's Transfer Policy requires a 60-day transfer lock to apply to your domain name(s) in the event of any "Change of Registrant." DreamHost currently locks your domain name for any change involving your WhoIs info, or when toggling your Proxy Protection privacy service on or off.

This feature is designed to protect you. However, one way to avoid this 60-day lock is to opt out via Panel for that particular domain name before making any changes.

By opting out of the 60-day transfer lock, you agree that the account owner and the registrant of the applicable domain name have opted out of any 60-day transfer lock that would otherwise be applied to your domain name per ICANN's Transfer Policy due to a "Change of Registrant" as defined by ICANN, or by DreamHost as a result of any other WHOIS or privacy service changes. The opt out will only apply to this particular domain name in your account. To avoid ambiguity, the term "registrant" refers to the true individual and/or entity who registers a domain name and whose information is escrowed by DreamHost as valid whois information; this does not refer to any privacy service whose name replaces the true registrant's identity in public Whois information (such as Proxy Protection). DreamHost is not responsible for any domain, account, or security issues that arise due to your decision to opt out of the 60-day lock. Please note that the parameters that trigger the 60-day transfer lock are subject to change without notice.
