PKNIC Domain Registration Agreement

This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Pakistan Courts. The party requesting registration of this name certifies that, to her/his knowledge, the use of this name does not violate trademark or other statues. The domain name will be cancelled if a third party provides evidence of a registered trademark that is violated, or the same company name registered in Pakistan. Registering a domain name does not confer any legal rights to that name and any disputes between parties over the rights to use a particular name are to be settled between the contending parties using normal legal methods. (See RFC 1591). The domain name registration procedure will follow INTERNIC guidelines as documented in various RFCs. In the case of conflicts with PKNIC policies, precedence will be given to the PKNIC policies.

No adjudication is made by PKNIC and its agents as to whether the applicant has a legitimate right to a name. The applicant, in lodging the request for a name, informs the registry that they are entitled to use the name as requested.

Acceptance of the listing entry by PKNIC and its agents confers no rights to the applicant regarding the legitimacy or otherwise of the association of the name with the applicant, nor does it confer to the applicant any other rights associated with ownership of the name, or any rights to its use.

All registration information will be considered as information within the public domain, and will be accessible using the Internet as the publication vehicle. No provision is made concerning acceptance of information under any imposed condition of confidentiality or non-disclosure.

PKNIC reserves the right to refuse to register a name if the majority of the members of PKNIC Appeals Committee consider (by voting or polling) that it may be offensive.

PKNIC (Domain name Registration Authority) is responsible for the registration of domain names on the Internet. PKNIC registers these Domain Names on a "first come, first served" basis. Any domain that is registered by PKNIC and later found to be in violation of the PKNIC policies or this Agreement will be revoked and made available for others to register. PKNIC has neither the resources nor the legal obligation to screen requested Domain Names to determine if the use of a Domain Name by an Applicant may infringe upon the right(s) of a third party. Consequently, as an express condition and material inducement of the grant of an applicant's ("Applicant") request to register a Domain Name, Applicant represents, agrees and warrants as follows:

(a) Applicant's statements in the application are true and Applicant has the right to use the Domain Name as requested in the Application;

(b) Applicant has a bona fide intention to use the Domain Name on a regular basis on the Internet;

(c) The use or registration of the Domain Name by Applicant does not interfere with or infringe the right of any third party in any jurisdiction with respect to trademark, service mark, tradename, company name or any other intellectual property right;

(d) Applicant is not seeking to use the Domain Name for any unlawful purpose, including, without limitation, tortious interference with contract or prospective business advantage, unfair competition, injuring the reputation of another, or for the purpose of confusing or misleading a person, whether natural or incorporated.

(e) PKNIC or SysolHost WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS). REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF PKNIC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
