Melbourne IT's processing of any pre-registration application or application for a domain name, the processing of any authorized
modification to the domain name's record during the covered registration or renewal period, any action (or inaction of either Melbourne IT
or any Third Party Provider under clause 6A), or the failure by the Registrant or the Registrant's agent to pay a pre-registration fee or other
fee (including, without limitation, any registration fee or renewal fee), or as a result of the application of the provisions of the relevant
domain name dispute policy. Registrant agrees that in no event will the liability of Melbourne IT under this Agreement for any matter
exceed, in the sole option of Melbourne IT, the re-supply of the services again or the fee paid to Melbourne IT for the provision of the
services.

use of the domain name. This clause survives termination of this Agreement.
9. Breach
Registrant agrees that failure to abide by any provision of this Registration Agreement or the relevant domain name dispute policy
(including, without limitation, any domain name dispute policy that applies during a pre-registration period) may be considered by
Melbourne IT to be a material breach and that Melbourne IT may provide a notice, describing the breach, to the Registrant. If, within thirty
(30) days of the date of such notice, the Registrant fails to provide evidence, which is reasonably satisfactory to Melbourne IT, that it has not
breached its obligations, then Melbourne IT may delete Registrant's registration of the domain name. Any such breach by a Registrant shall
not be deemed to be excused simply because Melbourne IT did not act earlier in response to that, or any other, breach by the Registrant.
Notice may be given by mail, facsimile or electronic means.
10. No Warranty by Melbourne IT
Registrant agrees that neither a pre-registration application nor a registration of a domain name grants any legal rights of ownership of the
relevant domain name, nor does it confer immunity from objection to the pre-registration, registration or use of the domain name.
11. Acknowledgements and Warranty
(i) Registrant acknowledges that it is Registrant's responsibility to ensure that the domain name is renewed. Registrant agrees, in addition to
the indemnity above, to keep indemnified, release and hold harmless Melbourne IT and the registry administrator, their directors, officers,
employees and agents, against any claim for damage or loss arising from any failure of Registrant's domain name to be renewed by
Registrant.
(ii) Registrant warrants that, to the best of Registrant's knowledge and belief, neither its registration of a domain name nor the manner in
which it is directly or indirectly used infringes the legal rights of a third party. Breach of this warranty will constitute a material breach.
12. Revocation
Registrant agrees that Melbourne IT may delete a Registrant's domain name if any information required to be supplied by the Registrant
under this Registration Agreement, or subsequent modification(s) thereto, is false or misleading, or conceals or omits any information
Melbourne IT would likely consider material to its decision to approve this Registration Agreement.
13. Right of Refusal
Registrant acknowledges that the registry administrator or ICANN policy may provide that registration of certain domain names is prohibited.

that Melbourne IT is not liable for loss or damage that may result from Melbourne IT's refusal to accept this Registration Agreement.

15.3 in case of arbitration or court proceedings being commenced with respect to the rights to the domain name. In addition to the above
rights, Melbourne IT may suspend or cancel the registration of Registrant's domain name, or, suspend the delegation of Registrant's Domain
Name, if as reasonably determined by Melbourne IT in its sole discretion, the Registrant or any other person uses the domain name in
connection with any:
15.4 activity that infringes the intellectual property rights or other rights of any third party;

16.3 The registration is for the full period of years selected and paid for at the time of Application or renewal.

17. Non payment
Registrant agrees that failure to pay any fee for its domain name when due (as evidenced for example by, without limitation, Registrant's
payment method company notifying Melbourne IT of Registrant disputing the payment of, or refusing to pay such Registration fee, or where
the Registrant's credit card or PayPal payment has been declined or reversed) will entitle Melbourne IT to immediately transfer the relevant
domain name from the Registrant to Melbourne IT, at its sole discretion. Registrant acknowledges that Melbourne IT will own all rights of
the registered domain name holder in respect of any domain name transferred to Melbourne IT under this clause 16, including the right to
sell the domain name to a third party. Melbourne IT may in its sole discretion re-transfer the relevant domain name to the Registrant subject
to the Registrant's payment of any outstanding Registration fee, and Registrant's payment of Melbourne IT's then current re-transfer fee.
