policies which may be added, constitute the complete
and exclusive agreement between you and NairaDomains.com
concerning your use of the NairaDomains.com's services,

or other communications.
Domain territory
NairaDomains.com can choose
to redirect a
domain name to any IP Address including, without limitation, to an IP address which
hosts a parking page or a commercial search engine for any purpose,
if a Domain has expired, or is suspended, or does not contain valid Name Servers to
direct it to any destination. Registrant acknowledges that NairaDomains.com cannot and do
not check to see whether such a redirection, infringes any legal rights including but
not limited to intellectual property rights, privacy rights, trademark rights, of Registrant or
any third party, or that the content displayed due to such redirection is inappropriate, or in violation
of any federal, state or local rule, regulation or law, or injurious to Registrant or any
third party or their reputation and as such is not responsible for any damages caused
directly or indirectly as a result of such redirection.
Pricing & Prepayments
NairaDomains.com does not charge a membership fee to purchasers.
To begin registering domains, NairaDomains.com members are
required to prepay for a minimum of 1 generic top
level domains for the single purchase plan or a minimum of 5 generic top level domains for the
bulk purchase program. This prepayment may be subsequently
used for any NairaDomains.com service (such as TLD
domain registrations or value added services). Purchasers
who prepay the minimum amount receive Bronze level
pricing. Members may immediately secure lower prices
(Silver, Gold, and Platinum levels) by making larger
prepayments, or by purchasing an equal amount (in
total Nigerian Naira) of domain services over time. Specific
details of the NairaDomains.com pricing policy (including
actual prices) are available online at the following
URL: http://www.nairadomains.com/prices.php.
NairaDomains.com reserves the right to change its pricing
policy at any time by updating this online document.
Refunding Prepayments
If you decide you would like to discontinue your relationship
with NairaDomains.com as a purchaser, we will refund any unused
funds in your account, minus a N2,500 processing fee. This fee is not
payable within the first 30 days of signing up, to support our 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee.
For the calculation of the refund, there will be an adjustment if the number
of domain names you registered is less than the minimum
number at the level you joined at, or upgraded to.
For example, if you originally prepaid N150,000 for 120
.com, .net, & .org domains (Platinum level), but
decide to close your account after registering just
10 domains (Bronze level), you will be charged N2,000
per domain name (the Bronze price) instead of N1,250
a domain name (the Platinum price). You will therefore
be refunded as follows: N150,000 - N2,500 - N20,000 (10 x
N2,000) = N127,500 total refund. If you wish to close
your account, please e-mail us at support@nairadomains.com.com.
Refunds take 4 to 6 weeks to process.
Quick response
We will try our best to resolve any problems about
business or technology at an earliest time. Purchasers
agree to provide technical support to its own customers
and NairaDomains.com agrees to provide technical support
to Purchasers.

administration, and renewal services, you agree to
pay all initial registration fees and applicable renewal
fees with respect to each domain name registered at the time
of registration or renewal. All
fees are non-refundable, in whole or in part, even
if your domain name registration is suspended, canceled,
or transferred prior to the end of your then current
registration term. We also reserve the right to change
domain name registration and renewal fees at any time
for any reason at our sole discretion. If you do not
pay any initial fees or renewal fees when due or in the
event of any charge back of
any payment at any time, we will have the right to

whatsoever with respect to any such cancellation.
No Guarantee of Registration
or Renewal

cannot guarantee you will be able to register or renew
any specific domain name, even if your inquiry indicates
that domain name is available. Even if a domain name
appears to be available, you acknowledge that NairaDomains.com
cannot know with certainty whether or not another
party is simultaneously seeking the domain name you
are seeking to register, or whether there are any
inaccuracies or errors in the domain name registration
or renewal process or in the WHOis and other databases.
You also agree that NairaDomains.com may elect to accept
or reject your application for registration or renewal
for any reason at its sole discretion. Such rejection
may include, but is not limited to, rejection due

domain name. You also agree that NairaDomains.com is not

to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the applicable
registry administrator and its officers, directors,
employees, and agents from and against any and all

out of, or related to, your submission for and registration,
renewal, or failure to register or renew a particular
domain name or names
After Expiration of The Term of Domain Name Registration.
You agree that we may, but are not obligated to, allow you to renew your domain name after its expiration
date has passed. After expiration of the term of a domain name registration services
and before deletion of the domain name in the applicable registry's database, you acknowledge
that we may direct the domain name to name-servers and IP address(es) designated by
us, including, without limitation, to no IP address or to IP address(es) which
host a parking page or a commercial search engine that may display advertisements,
and you acknowledge that we may either leave your WHOIS information intact or
that we may change the contact information in the WHOIS output for the
expired domain name so that you are no longer the listed registrant of the expired domain name.
After expiration of the term of domain name registration services, you acknowledge
that certain registry administrators may provide procedures or grace periods
during which expired domain name registrations may be renewed. You acknowledge that
you assume all risks and all consequences if you wait until close to or after the end of
a domain name registration term to attempt to renew the registration. You acknowledge
that we, for any reason and in our sole discretion, may choose not to participate in a
post-expiration renewal of a domain name and that we shall not be liable therefore.
You acknowledge that post-expiration renewal or redemption processes, if any, involve
additional fees which we may determine. You acknowledge and agree that expired domain
name(s) may be made available to be registered or re-registered to any party at any
time.
You agree that after expiration of the term of a domain name registration we may,
for a period of 15 days, either i) remove the domain name from the zone of the top-level-domain
(meaning that the domain name will no longer resolve), or ii) direct the domain name to
name-servers and IP address(es) of website(s) designated by us, including, without
limitation, to IP address(es) which host a parking page or a commercial search
engine. You agree that either are functionally equivalent to ICANN's or a registry's
redemption grace period, which would normally occur after deletion. If we exercise our rights under this provision, and if you do not transfer the domain name services to another registrar nor contact us to pay for and renew the domain name prior to the end of the 30 days, you agree that you have abandoned the domain name.
After this 15 day period, you agree that we may, possibly via a sub-contractor, solicit
and provide for a third party to pay to renew the domain name's registration term and to allow
such a third party to assume complete control over the domain name services as a registrant
name.
Alternatively, if you do not contact us to renew the domain name registration services
during the 15 day period described above, and if we are unable or unwilling to allow such a
third party to assume complete control over the domain name services as a registrant,
you agree that we may either (i) delete the domain name at any time thereafter or (ii)
that we may pay the registry free or otherwise allow it to continue to be registered with
the WHOIS information previously provided by you and pointing to the name-server(s) and IP
address(es) designated by us, and that we will not remove it from the TLD zone. In the
latter event, the name will be designated as being in the extended redemption grace period
("ERGP"), and you will be allowed to assume, during the first 90 days of the
then extant registration term, complete management of the domain name services,
including the right to control the DNS information, provided that you pay a fee of N30,000 (Nigerian Naira).
After the end of the 90-day period, if you do not exercise your rights under this provision,
you agree that you have abandoned the domain name services, and relinquish all rights
and use of the domain name services, and that you are no longer the registrant
of the domain name, and that we may list ourselves or another party as the
registrant of the domain name in the WHOIS information. If we exercise our
rights under this provision and you do not wish to be listed as the registrant and
you wish to forego your option under this provision to pay to renew the domain name
registration services for the then-current registration term, you may notify us
before the end of the 90-day period and request that we remove your information
from the WHOIS record for the domain name, in which case we, or a third party we
designate, will be listed as the registrant, and in which case you relinquish all
rights and control over the domain name services, and in which case we may i)
continue to point the domain name to IP address(es) designated by us, or ii)
we may delete the domain name from the applicable registry's database.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: You agree that we may distribute information to you that is pertinent
to the quality or operation of our Service(s) and the services of your Primary Service

Web Hosting.

Representations and Warranties.
You represent and warrant that all information provided
by you in connection with your registration is complete
and accurate. You represent and warrant each time
you register a TLD name that, to the best of your
knowledge and belief, neither the registration of
the TLD name nor the manner in which it is directly
or indirectly used infringes the legal rights of a
third party. In applying for a TLD name, you represent
and warrant that the registration is not made in bad
faith and that the name does not conflict with another
TLD name. We make no representation or warranties
of any kind in connection with this Agreement. Specifically
but without limitation, we do not represent or warrant
that registration of your TLD name will immunize you
from challenges to your TLD name. We are not bound
by nor should you rely on any representation or warranty
made by any agent, representative or employee of any
third party that you may use to apply for our services.
Breach and Revocation; Notice
of Cancellation, Etc.
Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, any
breach by you of this Agreement or the Dispute Policy
must be remedied by you within five (5) business days
following e-mail notice by us to you. Such notice
shall be deemed delivered when sent to the e-mail
address then on record for your administrative contact
in the WHOIS directory. If you fail to cure the breach
within such cure period, we may terminate this Agreement,
cancel your registration of the TLD name(s), transfer
such TLD names to another person or entity and/or
seek any remedy available at law or in equity including
but not limited to obtaining an injunction or specific
performance. Our remedies shall not be deemed exclusive
and affecting any one or more of the foregoing remedies
shall not be deemed an election of remedies. Except
as otherwise specified in this Agreement, notice of
revocations, suspensions, transfers, or cancellations
of your TLD name(s) by us pursuant to this section
will be provided to you within five (5) business days
following the taking of such action.
Cancellation During Preliminary
30 Day Period; Right of Refusal to Register.
Pursuant to ICANN Registry Policy, we reserve the
right to refuse to register any TLD name(s), or to
cancel, transfer or suspend any TLD name(s) registered
with us within the first thirty (30) calendar days
following receipt of your payment for such registration(s).
In the event we do not register a TLD name or we cancel
or transfer a TLD name within such thirty (30) calendar
day period, we agree to refund any applicable fee(s)
with respect to such TLD name that you have paid to
us. You agree that we shall not be liable to you for
loss or damages that may result from our refusal to
register any TLD name(s) or the cancellation or transfer
of any TLD name(s).

General.
This Agreement, our fee schedule and the Dispute Policy,
together with all amendments or modifications to any
of them, constitute the complete and exclusive agreement
between you and us, and supersede and govern all prior
or concurrent proposals, agreements, or other communications.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed
as creating any agency, partnership, or other form
of joint enterprise between you and us. Our failure
to require your performance of any provision hereof
shall not affect the right to require such performance
thereafter; nor shall the waiver by us of a breach
of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver
of the provision itself. In the event that any provision
of this Agreement is deemed unenforceable or invalid,
such unenforceability or invalidity shall not affect
the remainder of this Agreement, but such provision
shall be automatically amended and replaced with a
provision that is valid and enforceable and which
achieves, to the extent possible, our original objectives
and intent as reflected in the original provision.
No provision of this Agreement, including our fee
schedule and the Dispute Policy, may be amended or
modified by you except by means of a written document
signed by us. We may modify this Agreement at any
time by posting such modification(s) on our website.
Such modifications will become effective 15 calendar
days after posting. Your continued use of our registration
services after such modification(s) become(s) effective
constitutes your acceptance of those modifications.
If you do not agree to such a modification, you may
request that your TLD name(s) be cancelled or transferred
to another registrar. This Agreement shall not confer
any benefits upon any person or entity other than
you and NairaDomains.com, and shall not be construed
to create
any obligation by NairaDomains.com
to any non-party.
