Domain Name Service Terms

  • 1. Generally. In providing the Domain Service, Google will: (a) suggest a Registrar Partner to Customer; (b) assist Customer in registering Customer domain names with a Registrar Partner; and (c) aid in the setup of the service through the applicable Registrar Partner.

  • 2. Agreements with Registrar Partners. Acceptance of these terms is not an agreement with a Registrar Partner, and Customer may need to accept a Registrar Partner's terms of service in order to register a domain name with that Registrar. Acceptance of a Registrar Partner's terms will create a separate contractual agreement with the Registrar Partner and that Customer is responsible for the terms in that agreement. Customer will direct all issues regarding Customer's domain name registration to the applicable Registrar Partner and not to Google. Google is not responsible for forwarding any correspondence directed to Google on Customer's behalf.

  • 3. Registration. Customer is the Registrant for any Customer domain name, and will: (a) comply with the relevant ICANN regulations and policies concerning Customer's domain names; (b) submit and maintain Customer's registration information as complete and accurate at all times. Although Customer may elect to keep its information out of the WHOIS database, if regulations regarding these elections change, Customer's Registrar Partner or Google may disclose Customer's information as it reasonably believes necessary. If Customer will enable a third party to act on its behalf under these terms, then: (a) Customer remains liable for the behavior, and any resulting liability, of these third parties; and (b) Customer must have these third parties accept these terms and any applicable Registrar Partner's terms.

  • 4. Fees. Customer is responsible for all fees concerning the Domain Service payable to Customer's Registrar Partners. Google may bill Customer for such fees and may collect such fees from Customer for payment to Customer's Registrar Partner(s), but is under no obligation to do so. During signup or through the Domain Service, Customer may choose to automatically renew Customer's domain names. If Customer so chooses, Google will convey Customer's request to Customer's Registrar Partner(s) and bill Customer for the then current fee for renewal when such payment is due. The current yearly fee for renewal is ten U.S. dollars, but this fee may change at any time (and will be listed with Customer's current renewal option as part of the Service).

  • 5. Domain Records. Customer authorizes Google to correspond with Customer's Registrar Partners on Customer's behalf and to make changes to Customer's records with these Registrar Partners in order to facilitate the functioning of the Services offered under this Agreement. Customer authorizes Google to, at its option, become the Technical, Billing or other contact for domains registered through the Domain Service.

  • 6. Transfer. Google may change its Registrar Partners or begin providing such domain name registration services itself at any time and in its sole discretion. If Google makes such a change: (a) Google may change Customer's Registrar; (b) Customer authorizes Google to act as the agent of the Registrant for the limited purpose of requesting such a change and completing any necessary forms or agreements; and (c) Customer authorizes Google to become and reset the administrative contact for the limited purpose of transferring Customer domain names and completing any necessary forms or agreements.

  • 7. Defined Terms.

    • "Domain Service" means a service provided by Google to Customer purely for Customer's convenience, where Customer may, through a Google-provided interface, register domain names through, or transfer domain names to, Registrar Partners.

    • "ICANN" means the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names.

    • "Registrant" means the registrant for the Customer domain name, as "registrant" is defined by ICANN.

    • "Registrar Partners" means third party domain name registrars who have a contractual relationship with Google. Registrar Partners may change from time to time.
