This Acceptable Use Policy (this “Policy”) describes prohibited uses of the services offered by Amazon Registrar, Inc. and its affiliates (the “Services”). Your use of the Services is also governed by the AWS Acceptable Use Policy available here. The examples described in this Policy are not exhaustive. We may modify this Policy at any time by posting a revised version on this website. By using the Services, you agree to the latest version of this Policy. If we determine in our sole discretion that you have violated the Policy or authorized or helped others to do so, we may suspend or terminate your use of the Services.
You will not use the Services for any activity contrary to applicable law or legal requirements, including any conduct that violates your contractual obligations; ICANN rules, policies, or regulations; laws, regulations, or other applicable requirements of local, state, national governments; or international laws or treaties.
You will not use the Services for any harmful or malicious activities, including the distribution of malware, operation of botnets, phishing, piracy, trademark or copyright infringement, fraudulent or deceptive practices, or counterfeiting.
Amazon Registrar Change of Registrant Agreement
This Amazon Registrar Change of Registrant Agreement (the “Change Agreement”) contains additional terms that govern a request for the change of the registrant name, organization, or email address of a Registered Name (“Change of Registrant”) and is an agreement between Amazon Registrar, Inc. (“Amazon Registrar,” “we,” “us, and “our”) and you or the entity you represent (“you”), whether you are registrant before the change (“Prior Registrant”) or after the change (the “New Registrant”). If you are entering into this Change Agreement for an entity, such as the company you work for, you represent to us that you have legal authority to bind that entity.
You agree that your use of Amazon Registrar’s Domain Name Registration Services is subject both to the terms of this Change Agreement, and the terms governing your use of Domain Name Registration Services, including the AWS Customer Agreement (the “Customer Agreement”) and Amazon Route 53 Domain Name Registration Agreement (the “Registration Agreement”) as well as any policies promulgated by ICANN either now or in the future. You acknowledge and agree that Amazon Registrar may modify this Agreement in order to comply with its agreement with ICANN as well as any other terms set forth by ICANN or the applicable registry.
- Change of Registrant Process. When the Prior Registrant initiates a Change of Registrant request, Amazon Registrar will endeavor to send a confirmation email to: (A) the Prior Registrant or the designated agent of the Prior Registrant; and (B) the New Registrant or the designated agent of the New Registrant. Both the Prior Registrant (or their designated agent) and the New Registrant (or their designated agent) must confirm acceptance of the Change of Registrant which includes acceptance of this Registration Agreement within three (3) days of receipt of the confirmation email.
- Failure to confirm acceptance within the three (3) day period will result in the expiration of the Change of Registrant request. If the Change of Registrant request expires, you may initiate a new request.
- New Registrant acknowledges that New Registrant has reviewed and understands the terms, conditions, representations and warranties of the Customer Agreement and Registration Agreement.
- By requesting a change of registrant, Prior Registrant acknowledges that the New Registrant is now the Registered Name Holder of the Registered Name.
- By initiating a Change of Registrant, Prior Registrant warrants that the New Registrant has expressly agreed to the terms of the Change Agreement, the Customer Agreement, and the Registration Agreement, and Prior Registrant expressly authorizes Amazon Registrar to take all steps necessary to register the Registered Name to the New Registrant, including disassociating the Registered Name from the host servers designated by Prior Registrant without further notice.
- By requesting a Change of Registrant, Prior Registrant hereby relinquishes Prior Registrant’s registration of the Registered Name and discharges Amazon Registrar and its affiliates from all obligations under the Registration Agreement.
- By entering into this Change Agreement you expressly opt out of the sixty (60) day inter-registrar lock described in ICANN’s Transfer Policy. After updating your Registrant Data, your Registered Name will remain freely transferrable and you will be able to update your Registration Data at any time. If at any time you would like to opt in to the sixty (60) day lock, you can do so by opening a customer service support ticket. Liability and Release. You will release, indemnify and hold Amazon Registrar and its affiliates harmless for any claims, losses, or issues that arise in connection with or as a result of the Change of Registrant request. Amazon Registrar shall have no liability for Prior Registrant’s authority or ability to transfer the Registered Name to the New Registrant, failure of the Change of Registrant transaction to be completed, or the New Registrant’s entitlement to the registration of the Registered Name. Prior Registrant is not entitled to a refund of any fees you may have paid to Amazon Registrar.
