Posted on:2022-01-14 14:46:22 Views: 348

This agreement constitutes a binding contract between Zname.com and you, the user (“You” or “User”). Before using the domain name backorder and auction service provided by Zname.com (“Service”), please read carefully and fully understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In case of any objection or incomprehension of this Agreement, please do not proceed. Otherwise, by using our Service, you hereby accept this Service Agreement in full.

1. Definition

1.1 "Domain name reservation" refers to the preemptive registration of a domain to be deleted. According to the rules of the registry, when the registered domain expires and the domain owner fails to renew, the registry will delete the domain after a period of time. The domain can be re-registered after it is deleted.

Zname.com provides a reservation service that allows users to subscribe to a domain until the domain is deleted by the registry. Once deleted, Zname.com will automatically submit a registration request to the registry, and the success rate of automatic registration submitted by the system is much higher than that of manual registration on a first come first served basis. No auction is needed after subscription. You will get the ownership of the domain once the backorder succeeds.

1.2 "Zname.com" refers to the platform that provides users with the system, technical and service support to backorder domains.

1.3 "User" refers to the Zname.com members who backorder domains through Zname.com platform, including individuals (natural persons, sole proprietorships, individual partnerships and individual businesses, etc.) and entities (government offices, corporate partnerships, institutions, social organizations, etc.).

2. Service Description

2.1 Zname.com provides users with technical and service support for domain backorder. Zname.com reserves the right to define the scope of domain backorder service provided to users, such as to add, delete, update, adjust or cancel this service according to the company's business.

2.2 Domain Name Reservation

2.2.1 The User makes a reservation through the domain backorder system provided by Zname.com and completes the reservation by paying the deposit.

2.2.2 When a domain is deleted by the registry, Zname.com will automatically submit a registration request to the registry to help the user complete the registration. You understand and agree that a successful reservation does not guarantee the success of the backorder. If the backorder fails, the relevant funds will be returned to User's account.

2.2.3 Deadline for domain backorder: 24:00 (UTC+8) on the day the domain is deleted. Please make your reservation before 23:00 (UTC+8) if possible, otherwise we cannot guarantee the success of the submission in external platforms.

2.3 Auction

Once the backorder succeeds, the domain will go to your account on the same day after verification. Only a few domains will enter the auction process. For these domains, you need to wait for about 3 days without placing any bid.

2.4 Payment

The winner of the auction needs to pay within 3 days. If the User fails to complete the payment during such time period, fees will be deducted from User’s account balance, followed by the domain name delivery process. If payment fails due to insufficient balance, this will constitute a breach of the Agreement, which is not allowed by Zname.com.

2.4.1 In case of any breach of the Agreement, Zname.com will freeze your account and all the domains under it. You need to contact the customer service on Zname.com within three days, otherwise all the domains under your account will be handled by Zname.com and the deducted fees are not refundable.

2.4.2 The use of backordered domains must comply with applicable laws and shall not be in bad faith. Once found, the domain and account will be blocked and the fees are not refundable.

2.5 Domain Name Delivery

2.5.1 Once the auction is over, the domain will enter the delivery process, which takes 1-2 business days after successful payment.

2.5.2 You understand and agree that in order to facilitate the delivery, a temporary template provided by Zname.com will be used. Upon delivery, you shall modify the domain contact information to ensure the authenticity and accuracy.

2.5.3 You understand and agree that domains using the temporary template are not available for PUSH, transfer or DNS modification.
