Formal policies for gs names

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. Applications to register

All applications must be made by e-mail or post using the
template provided, which should be completed but
otherwise not be modified in any way.

2. Acceptance and payment

While the domain name applied for, if in accordance with
our naming policy and not already in use, will normally
be allotted to the applicant, the Company reserves the
right to refuse registration without giving reasons.
Acceptance and payment of the annual fee (currently
US$50) creates an agreement for 12 months, and payment
will normally be collected by the Company from the
applicant's account with Visa or Mastercard, details of
which must accompany the application.

Applicants who are concerned about the security implications of
tranmission in clear may use PGP encrypted e-mail. Successful
applicants will be supplied with a password which should at all times
be used when in any communication with the Company after
registration. Applicants are responsible for their own security so far
as their password is concerned, and where the Company acts on
instructions received under password which relate in any way to this
contract, no liability will be accepted arising from wrongful use of
the password.

In the case of multiple applications, the Company may
occasionally accept payment by cheque or inter-bank
transfer. Where a cheque is dishonoured, or a credit card
payment is reclaimed via the credit company, this
agreement is automatically terminated.

3. Termination by the applicant

This agreement and the licence referred to below may be
terminated at any time by the applicant by giving the
Company 28 days notice in writing (electronic e-mail
message being regarded as writing for this purpose) but
no refund of fees shall be made in this event. As a
precaution against unauthorised termination, applicants
should supply the credit card details which accompanied
their original application.

4. Renewal

If the Company has not received notice of termination,
this agreement will be renewed at the end of the first
year (subject to the Company's termination rights set out
below) and on each subsequent anniversary, on the Terms
and Conditions then in force. Payment will be made in the
manner agreed at the time of the original registration.

5. Licence

Acceptance of your application creates a licence for you
to use the domain name allotted to you for access to the
information on the internet during the currency of this
agreement, subject to the obligations of the applicant
and the termination rights of the Company set out below
and in clause 2.

6. Obligations of the applicant

a)  Not to use the domain name in breach of the trademark,

c) Not to grant domain names to any sub-domain users
except on terms identical so far as possible with these
Terms and Conditions

d) To submit and maintain accurate electronic records of 
the details required by the application form.

7. Termination by the Company

The Company may cancel this agreement or suspend
delegation of a name on seven days written notice
(electronic e-mail message being regarded as writing for
this purpose):

a) If the name is administered in a way likely to
endanger operation of the Top Level Domain

b) If the terms of this agreement have been broken by the
applicant

c) If in the opinion of the Company the name is being
used in a manner likely to cause confusion to internet
users

d) If it has come to the Company's attention that legal
action has been commenced regarding use of the name

e) Where an invoice has been issued for the payment of
the renewal fee under clause 3 above which then remains
unpaid for 30 days

8.  Arbitration

a) If an applicant disputes the Company's decision to
terminate this agreement or to suspend delegation of a
name the Company will, at the applicant's request, refer
the termination or  suspension to an Arbitrator for a
written decision whether the action was justified

b) The Arbitrator will be chosen at random from among the
list of independent experts kept by the Company

the arbitrator:-

 sent to the arbitrator and invite the applicant to
 send the  arbitrator a submission in writing within
 14 days

d) The Arbitrator, who shall decide on the basis of
