Registration And Service Agreement

Version 2.2

Article I -- General Provisions

1. INTRODUCTION.

In this Registration and Service Agreement ("Agreement"), "you" and "your" refer to each customer ("Customer") and its agents, including each person listed in your account information as being associated with your account, and "we", "us" and "our" refer collectively to NameSecure, LLC ("NameSecure"). This Agreement explains our obligations to you, and your obligations to us in relation to the NameSecure service(s) you purchase. Your rights and responsibilities as a domain name registrant under the ICANN Registrar Accreditation Agreement can be found at http://www.icann.org/en/registrars/registrant-rights-responsibilities-en.htm. By purchasing NameSecure service(s) you agree to establish an account with us for such services. When you use your account or permit someone else to use your account to purchase or otherwise acquire access to additional NameSecure service(s) or to modify or cancel your NameSecure service(s) (even if we were not notified of such authorization), this Agreement as amended covers any such service or actions. Additionally, you agree that each person listed in your account information as being associated with your account for any services provided to you (including, but not limited to, domain name registration services) is your agent with full authority to act on your behalf with respect to such services, and that the Account Administrative Contact for your account shall have the authority, without limitation, to terminate, transfer (where transfer is permitted by the Agreement), or modify such services or your account information, or purchase additional services. Any acceptance of your application(s) or requests for our services and the performance of our services will occur at our offices in Herndon, Virginia, the locations of our principal place of business.

2. FEES, PAYMENT AND TERM OF SERVICE.

As consideration for the services you purchased, you agree to pay NameSecure the applicable service(s) fees set forth on our Web site at the time of your selection, or, if applicable, upon receipt of your invoice from NameSecure. All fees are due immediately and are non-refundable. Unless otherwise specified herein or on our Web site, each NameSecure service is for a one-year initial term and renewable thereafter for successive one to ten-year terms, as set forth during the renewal process. Any renewal of your services with us is subject to our then current terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, successful completion of any applicable authentication procedure, and payment of all applicable service fees at the time of renewal and in the case of domain name re-registration, the domain name registry's acceptance of your domain name registration. We will endeavor to provide you notice prior to the renewal of your services at least fifteen (15) days in advance of the renewal date. We may provide you with an opportunity to "opt in" to our automatic renewal process in accordance with the instructions (and subject to your agreement to the related terms and conditions pertaining to that process) on our Website. Additionally, we may activate an automatic renewal process for eligible services in your account, at any time and at our discretion. You agree that if you are enrolled in or otherwise utilizing our auto-renew process, we will attempt to renew your service at some point less than ninety (90) days prior to its expiration. Such automatic renewal for your services, if successful, may be for a shorter term than the term for which you originally purchased your services, but in no event shall such term be longer than the term then-currently in place for the services. Such automatic renewal for your services, if successful, shall be at the then-current price for the renewed services. In any event, you are solely responsible for the credit card information you provide to NameSecure and must promptly inform NameSecure of any changes thereto (e.g., change of expiration date or account number). In addition, you are solely responsible for ensuring the services are renewed. NameSecure shall have no liability to you or any third party in connection with the renewal as described herein, including, but not limited to, any failure or errors in renewing the services. You agree to pay all value added, sales and other taxes (other than taxes based on NameSecure's income) related to NameSecure services or payments made by you hereunder. All payments of fees for NameSecure services shall be made in U.S. dollars. Set up fees, if any, will become payable on the applicable effective date for the applicable NameSecure services.

3. ACCURATE INFORMATION.

  1. provide certain true, current, complete and accurate information about you as required by the application process; and

  2. maintain and update according to our modification procedures the information you provided to us when purchasing our services as needed to keep it current, complete and accurate.

We rely on this information to send you important information and notices regarding your account and our services. You agree that NameSecure (itself or through its third party service providers) is authorized, but not obligated, to use Coding Accuracy Support System (CASS) certified software and/or the National Change of Address program (and/or such other systems or programs as may be recognized by the United States Postal Service or other international postal authority for updating and/or standardizing address information) to change any address information associated with your account (e.g., registrant address, account contact address, etc.), and you agree that NameSecure may use and rely upon any such changed address information for all purposes in connection with your account (including the sending of renewal notices and other important account information) as though such changes had been made directly by you.

Article II - Domain Name Registration Services

1. SECURITY.

NameSecure does not guarantee the security of your domain name registration records, and you assume all risks that the password and/or passphrase you select may be compromised as a result of fraudulent, unauthorized or illegal activity.

2. FEES AND PAYMENT.

Initial domain name registrations, and domain name registrations that have passed the registration agreement's anniversary date, must be in a paid status to transfer, delete, modify, or otherwise to request NameSecure to affect the domain name record or to provide domain name services. Domain name registrations in an unpaid status are routinely deleted on a regular basis.

2.5 Grace Period; IP Address Changes; Renewal and Transfer of Expired Domain Names on Your Behalf.

You agree that we may, but are not obligated to, allow you to renew your domain name service after its expiration date has passed. You agree that after the expiration date of your domain name registration and before it is deleted or renewed, we may direct your domain name to an IP address designated by us, including, without limitation, to an IP address which hosts a parking, under construction or other temporary page that may include promotions and advertisements for, and links to, NameSecure's Web site, NameSecure's product and service offerings, third-party Web sites, third-party product and service offerings, and/or Internet search engines, and you agree that we may place our or one of our affiliated company's contact information in the WHOIS output for the expired domain name. Should you not renew your domain name services with us during any applicable grace period, you agree that unless you notify us to the contrary we may, in our sole discretion, renew and transfer the domain name to a third party on your behalf (such a transaction is hereinafter referred to as a "Direct Transfer"), and your failure to so notify us after the domain name expiration date shall constitute your consent to such a Direct Transfer. You acknowledge and agree that the Direct Transfer process may be facilitated through a single Direct Transfer Customer, or through a brief auction involving multiple parties who are interested in your domain name, and that you will not receive any portion of the fees we or any of our vendors may receive through completing a Direct Transfer.

2.6 New Customers through a Backorder Service.

If you are registering a domain name through a backorder service and that domain name was registered with, and not yet deleted by, NameSecure at the time of your purchase, you acknowledge and agree that the term of your registration will be for a period of one year from the original expiration date for the domain name immediately prior to your purchase, as the registration is the result of a Direct Transfer (defined above). If you are registering a domain name through a backorder service and the domain name was not registered with NameSecure at the time of your purchase but was deleted by the applicable top-level domain registry at the time of your purchase, you acknowledge and agree that the term of your registration will be for a period of one year from the date it is initially registered with NameSecure by the provider of the backorder service.

3. TRANSFERS AND LICENSING OF USE.

You agree that you may not transfer your domain name registration to another domain name registrar during the first sixty (60) days from the effective date of your initial domain name registration with us. You may transfer your domain name registration to a third party of your choice, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Article IX below. Even if you license the use of our domain name registration services to a third party, you remain responsible for complying with all terms and conditions of this Agreement, and you accept liability for harm caused by such licensee's wrongful use of our domain name registration services.

4. NAMESECURE'S DISCLOSURE OF CERTAIN INFORMATION.

Subject to the requirements of our privacy statement, in order for us to comply the current rules and policies for the domain name system, you hereby grant to NameSecure the right to disclose to third parties through an interactive publicly accessible registration database the following mandatory information that you are required to provide when registering or reserving a domain name:

  1. the domain name(s) registered by you;

  5. the corresponding names of those nameservers;

  6. the original creation date of the registration; and

  7. the expiration date of the registration. You also grant to NameSecure the right to make this information available in bulk form to third parties who agree not to use it to (a) allow, enable or otherwise support the transmission of mass unsolicited, commercial advertising or solicitations via telephone, facsimile, or e-mail (spam) or (b) enable high volume, automated, electronic processes that apply to our systems to register domain names.

5. DOMAIN NAME DISPUTE POLICY.

If you registered a domain name through us, you agree to be bound by our current domain name dispute policy that is incorporated herein and made a part of this Agreement by reference. The current version of the domain name dispute policy may be found at our Web site: http://www.namesecure.com/domainDisputePolicy.page.

6. DOMAIN NAME DISPUTE POLICY MODIFICATIONS.

You agree that we, in our sole discretion, may modify our dispute policy. We will post any such revised policy on our Web site at least thirty (30) calendar days before it becomes effective. 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 modification, you may terminate this Agreement. We will not refund any fees paid by you if you terminate your Agreement with us.

7. DOMAIN NAME DISPUTES.

You agree that, if your use of our domain name registration services is challenged by a third party, you will be subject to the provisions specified in our dispute policy in effect at the time of the dispute. For the adjudication of any disputes brought by a third party against you concerning or arising from your use of a domain name registered with us or your use of our domain name registration services, you (but not NameSecure) agree to submit to subject matter jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction and venue of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division and the courts of your domicile.

If we are notified that a complaint has been filed with a judicial or administrative body regarding your use of our domain name registration services, you agree not to make any changes to your domain name record without our prior approval. We may not allow you to make changes to such domain name record until (a) we are directed to do so by the judicial or administrative body, or (b) we receive notification by you and the other party contesting your registration and use of our domain name registration services that the dispute has been settled. Furthermore, you agree that if you are subject to litigation regarding your registration and use of our domain name registration services, we may deposit control of your domain name record into the registry of the judicial body by supplying a party with a registrar certificate from us. You agree that we will comply with all court orders, domestic or international, directed against you and/or the domain name registration.

You agree that NameSecure may change the content and/or appearance of, or disable, any Under Construction Page at any time, in its sole discretion, and without prior notice. If for any reason, you do not want a domain name to resolve to the Under Construction Page described above, you may select an alternative resolution method (ex. Web Forward to another URL or One-Page Mini Site) as provided on our Web Site.

12. REQUESTS TO CHANGE REGISTRAR.

You agree that NameSecure may deny any request to transfer a domain name registration that is otherwise capable of transfer to another registrar where you fail to respond appropriately to a transfer confirmation request from NameSecure. Furthermore, you acknowledge and agree that pursuant to applicable policies adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") related to the transfer of domain names it is possible for your domain name to be transferred to another registrar even though the transfer has not actually been approved by you, and you agree that we shall not be liable to you for any such unauthorized transfers. You also acknowledge and agree that we cannot control and shall not be liable to you for the actions of third parties, including but not limited to registry operators, in connection with a domain name transfer, or a reversal of or refusal to reverse a domain name transfer, whether or not the transfer was approved by you.

13. LOCK-PROTECT.

You agree that we may, but are not obligated to, place your domain name registration in a Lock-Protect status to prevent unauthorized transfers of your domain name registration, as described on our Web site. You acknowledge and agree that in order to transfer a domain name registration that is in a Lock-Protect status, you may first have to access the My Account manager tool on our Web site and remove the domain name registration from Lock-Protect status.

14. .BIZ DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATIONS.

In addition to the terms set forth in this Article II and Article I above, the following terms shall apply to .biz domain name registrations:

  1. Additional Representations and Warranties. If you are applying for the registration of a domain name in the .biz top-level domain ("TLD"), you also represent and warrant that: (i) the domain name will be used primarily for bona fide business or commercial purposes and not (A) exclusively for personal use or (B) solely for the purposes of selling, trading or leasing the domain name for compensation, or the unsolicited offering to sell, trade or lease the domain name for compensation; and (ii) the domain name is reasonably related to your business or intended commercial purpose at the time of registration.

  2. Acknowledgment of Dispute Policies and Rules. The registrant acknowledges having read and understands and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the following documents, as they may be amended from time to time, which are hereby incorporated and made an integral part of this Agreement:

    1. The Uniform Domain Name Dispute Policy, available at http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp.htm;

    2. The Start-up Trademark Opposition Policy ("STOP"), available at http://www.neulevel.com/countdown/stop.html;

    3. The Restrictions Dispute Resolution Criteria and Rules, available at http://www.neulevel.com/countdown/rdrp.html.



    If at the time of your application for services in the .biz TLD, any of the above policies or rules (collectively ".biz Policies") have not yet been approved by ICANN (which may mean the .biz Policies are not available for viewing via live hyperlinks above), you agree to be bound by the terms of such .biz Policies upon such approval and in the final form approved by ICANN, as posted on our Web site or the ICANN Web site (located at www.icann.org). You agree that, by maintaining the services provided hereunder (which may include registration of a domain name) after such posting of any of the ICANN approved .biz Policies, you have agreed to the terms and conditions of the same. You acknowledge that if you do not agree to the .biz Policies, you may terminate this Agreement. We will not refund any fees paid by you if you terminate your Agreement with us.

  3. Registry Actions or Inactions. Our ability to provide services to you depends in part upon the provision of services by third parties, such as the .biz registry. We cannot control and will not be responsible for the actions or inactions of such third parties. For example, the .biz registry has reserved the right to deny, cancel or transfer any domain name registration under certain circumstances. You acknowledge and agree that we shall not be liable to you or any other party in connection with claims, damages, losses, expenses or costs incurred or suffered by you as a result of actions taken or not taken by third parties, including, but not limited to, the .biz registry.

  4. Multiple Phases of Services. Your application or registration (whether successful or not) for any .biz registry or .biz TLD services hereunder does not guarantee, and we do not promise, that you will be approved or eligible for any other services available or that may become available through us or any third party. For example, certain services in the .biz TLD are provided in sequential phases, and participation in one phase, does not automatically qualify you for participation in other phases, and any further participation is not automatic. The .biz registry, and not NameSecure, determines the dates and times associated with the various service phases available in the .biz TLD. You agree to review and become familiar with the information available on our Web site and on the .biz Web site concerning the various phases and descriptions of services available in connection with .biz TLD, and to regularly check for modifications and/or updates to such information, as the same may change from time to time. You agree that you are solely responsible for applying and/or registering for the service phases you desire to participate in. Additionally, you acknowledge and agree that submission of an application for domain name registration or any other services, does not guarantee that you will ultimately be the registrant for a particular domain name, even if you participated in some other service associated with the domain name, such as an intellectual property notification service or similar service.

  5. Additional Acknowledgments Concerning Customer Information. You also acknowledge and agree that NameSecure will share with the .biz registry certain information submitted by you in your application(s) for our services, as required by our agreement(s) with the .biz registry or to provide the services you have applied for. You acknowledge and agree that any information we share with the .biz registry may be used by them to fulfill the .biz registry's service obligations to us or any third party. You hereby grant us and the .biz registry a limited, royalty-free, non-exclusive worldwide license to use all of the data contained in a Trademark

  6. Disclaimer Concerning Intellectual Property Notification Service. Your participation in an intellectual property notification service or similar service DOES NOT PROVIDE YOU WITH ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTIONS OR REGISTRATIONS, NOR DOES IT PROVIDE YOU WITH ANY RIGHTS TO ANY PARTICULAR DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION. THIS IS A NOTIFICATION SERVICE ONLY. EVEN IF YOU PARTICIPATE IN THIS SERVICE, YOU MUST STILL SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION SERVICES TO BE ELIGIBLE TO BECOME THE REGISTRANT FOR THE DESIRED DOMAIN NAME(S).

  7. Terms of Use for IP Claim Service. The following additional terms apply specifically to the Intellectual Property Claim Service (in this Article II, Section 14(g), the "Claim Service") made available in the .biz TLD. For purposes of this Article II, Section 14(g), "Owner" shall mean the owner of a registered or common law trademark or service mark and "Agent" shall mean the duly authorized agent of an Owner (collectively "You"), and "Registrar" shall mean NameSecure. These Terms of Use will continue to apply to all past use of the Claim Service by You, even if You are no longer using the Claim Service. You acknowledge and agree that Registrar may terminate or block Your use of all or part of the Claim Service without prior notice for any reason, including, without limitation, if Registrar believes You have engaged in conduct prohibited by these Terms of Use.

    1. The Claim Service. Registrar provides the Claim Service to holders of both registered and common law trademarks or service marks (collectively "Trademarks"). During the domain name application process, applicants for a .biz domain name ("Applicants") will be notified of an Owner's alleged intellectual property rights in a Trademark if the domain name contained in the domain name application is an exact match of the Trademark identified in an IP Claim (as defined below) submitted by Owner. You may review frequently asked questions regarding the Claim Service by reviewing our FAQs.

    2. License to Use Data / Privacy. By submitting an IP Claim, You hereby grant Registrar, as well as any of its agents or subcontractors, and the .biz registry, a limited, royalty-free, non-exclusive worldwide license to use all of the data contained in the IP Claim solely for the purposes of implementing the Claim Service, processing Your IP Claim, notifying Applicants of Your IP Claim, and for notifying You of changes to the Claim Service, and for archival purposes.

    3. The IP Claim Process. In order to submit a claim with respect to a Trademark or Trademarks ("IP Claim") through the Claim Service, You must complete an IP Claim form for each Trademark. For each IP Claim, You must submit complete contact information, representative contact information and notification details, and the details regarding the Trademark. You may specify in the representative field that an Agent may receive legal correspondence regarding the IP Claim. Once You have submitted an IP Claim, you will receive a confirmation email and a claim number. You must retain the claim number for each IP Claim You submit. Registrar will accept IP Claims until July 9, 2001, or such later date as it may determine in its sole discretion ("Close of Phase I") and no IP Claims will be accepted after that date. From the Close of Phase I until September 25, 2001 ("Phase 2"), or such other later date as Registrar may choose, in its sole discretion, the domain name applications from ICANN-approved registrars ("Applications") will be compared with the database of IP Claims processed through the Claim Service ("IP Claim Database"). For each exact match between an IP Claim in the IP Claim Database and a domain name application, the Registry Operator for .Biz ("Registry Operator") will notify the Applicant that a third party or third parties have submitted an IP Claim for the exact Trademark. The email notification to the Applicant will include, among other things, the information provided by Owner in the IP Claim, instructions on how to proceed with the registration process, and that if selected during the randomized name selection phase ("Name Selection Phase"), the domain name will be placed on a temporary thirty (30) day hold when the Registry goes "live." The Applicant will have the option to proceed with the Application or cancel the Application. If the Applicant does not respond to the email notification, or elects to cancel the Application, the Applicant's domain name application will not be processed during the Name Selection Phase. If the Applicant chooses to proceed with the registration process and the name is selected during the Name Selection Phase, that domain name automatically will be placed on a thirty (30) day "hold period" when the name is registered. After Name Selection, the Owner will be notified by Registry Operator if an Applicant has successfully registered the domain name. The Owner will then have the option of contacting the Applicant and finding a solution or using the guidelines set forth by a special dispute resolution process called the Start-up Trademark Opposition Policy ("STOP") (formerly referred to as the Start-up Dispute Resolution Policy or "SUDRP") (information available at http://www.neulevel.com/countdown/stop.html), or the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute Resolution Procedures ("UDRP") (information is available at http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp-policy-24oct99.htm). You will not be notified if there are no Applications that exactly match an IP Claim You submitted in the IP Claim Database. USE OF THE SERVICE DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT AN OWNER WILL BE AWARDED THE .BIZ EXTENSION FOR ITS TRADEMARK. AN OWNER THAT WISHES TO OBTAIN A .BIZ EXTENSION FOR ITS TRADEMARK MUST FILE A DOMAIN NAME APPLICATION. DOMAIN NAME APPLICANTS WILL ONLY BE NOTIFIED OF APPLICATIONS THAT ARE EXACT MATCHES WITH A TRADEMARK IDENTIFIED IN AN IP CLAIM FORM. REGISTRAR WILL NOT VERIFY WHETHER A TRADEMARK CLAIMED ON AN IP CLAIM FORM CORRESPONDS WITH AN ACTUAL, LEGAL OR VALID TRADEMARK, NOR WILL REGISTRAR PROVIDE ANY LEGAL OVERSIGHT OR ADJUDICATION FOR ANY DISPUTED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IMPLICATED BY THE SERVICE.

    4. Conduct. You agree to be bound by the applicable provisions of the NameSecure Acceptable Use Policy, , which is located on our Web site at http://www.namesecure.com/policy.page and incorporated herein and made part of this Agreement by reference, in connection with your use of the services described in this Article.

    5. Fees. As consideration for the Claim Service, Registrar, or its agents or subcontractors may require you to submit and pay for each IP Claim individually or it may allow you store up a certain number of IP Claims before submitting them for processing. Once you have stored that number of IP Claims, you may not be able to store any additional IP Claims and may need to submit them for processing and pay the applicable fee before obtaining additional storage space. No refunds are permitted.

    6. Links. Some links on the Claim Service lead to sites posted by independent site owners. Because Registrar has no control over these sites, it cannot be responsible for such sites' accessibility via the Internet and does not endorse products, services, or information provided by such sites. As such, Registrar shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with, use or reliance on any content, goods or services available on or through any other site. Further, the inclusion of these links does not imply that the other sites have given permission for inclusion of these links, or that there is any relationship between Registrar and the linked sites.

    7. Modifications to the Claim Service. Registrar reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Claim Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that will not be liable to You or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Claim Services.

    8. Third Party Beneficiary. Registry Operator ("NeuLevel") is an intended third party beneficiary of these Term and Conditions with rights to enforce these Terms of Use. You will cooperate in good faith with NeuLevel or Registrar in investigating instances of non-compliance with these Terms of Use, if NeuLevel or Registrar believes in good faith that you are not in compliance with these Terms of Use.

    9. You agree that Registrar and Registry Operator are not responsible for checking, verifying or editing message content or completeness, or for detecting errors or anomalies, or for recreating or re-transmitting data.

    2. you agree to submit to proceedings commenced under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy ("UDRP") and the Sunrise Dispute Resolution Policy ("SDRP") (available at http://www.afilias.info/faq/sunrise-challenge.html), as these may be modified from time to time;

    3. you agree to immediately correct and update the registration information for any domain name registered hereunder during the registration term for such registered domain name; and

    If at the time of your application for services in the .info TLD, the SDRP has not yet been approved by ICANN (which may mean the SDRP is not available for viewing via live hyperlink above), you agree to be bound by the terms of the SDRP upon such approval and in the final form approved by ICANN, as posted on our Web site or the ICANN Web site (located at http://www.icann.org). You agree that, by maintaining the services provided hereunder after such posting of any of the ICANN approved SDRP, you have agreed to the terms and conditions of the same. You acknowledge that if you do not agree to the SDRP, you may terminate this Agreement. We will not refund any fees paid by you if you terminate your Agreement with us.

  2. Registry Actions or Inactions. Our ability to provide services to you depends in part upon the provision of services by third parties, such as the .info registry.

For example, the .info registry has reserved the right to refuse or cancel any Sunrise Registration at any time and to request additional information relating to a Sunrise Registration. You acknowledge and agree that we shall not be liable to you or any other party in connection with claims, damages, losses, expenses or costs incurred or suffered by you as a result of actions taken or not taken by third parties, including, but not limited to, the .info registry.

  3. No Guarantee on Registration. The .info registry, and not NameSecure, determines the dates and times associated with the various service periods available in the .info TLD. You agree to review and become familiar with the information available on our Web site and on the .info Web site concerning the various periods and descriptions of services available in connection with .info TLD, and to regularly check for modifications and/or updates to such information, as the same may change from time to time. You agree that you are solely responsible for applying and/or registering for the service periods you desire to participate in. You acknowledge and agree that submission of an application for domain name registration or any other services (regardless of when submitted), does not guarantee that you will ultimately be the registrant for a particular domain name.

  4. Disclaimer Concerning Intellectual Property Protection. Your application for a Sunrise Registration DOES NOT PROVIDE YOU WITH ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTIONS OR REGISTRATIONS.

16. ccTLD SERVICES (.us.com, .uk.com, .eu.com, .de.com and .la)

We, in our sole discretion, will determine whether or not your conduct is consistent with this Agreement and any NameSecure operating rules or policies and may suspend or terminate your e-mail service if your conduct is found to be inconsistent with this Agreement or such rules or policies.

Termination or transfer of the domain name registration associated with the e-mail box(es) to which the additional storage is/are attributed will result in the termination of both the e-mail box(es) and any related additional storage services, and such termination shall be without refund of any fees paid.
