Neteron will use commercially reasonable efforts to e-mail Users who are at or near their utilization limits, but Neteron does not take responsibility if e-mail notification(s) is not received by the User. Neteron reserves the right to discontinue service through the beginning of the next month for your account in the event that it exceeds the any such allotment. Parked Domain Services In addition to the applicable terms and conditions contained herein:
- If User signs up to register and park a domain name with Neteron, all domain name renewal fees are due at time of invoice, before the renewal date of the domain name. Payments are non-refundable. If for any reason Neteron is unable to charge User's payment method for the full amount owed Neteron for the service provided, or if Neteron is charged a penalty for any fee it previously charged to Your payment method, User agrees that Neteron may pursue all available remedies in order to obtain payment. User agrees that among the remedies Neteron may pursue in order to effect payment, shall include but will not be limited to, immediate cancellation without notice to User of User's service. Neteron reserves the right to charge a reasonable service fee for administrative tasks outside the scope of its regular services. These include, but are not limited to, User service issues that cannot be handled over e-mail but require personal service, and disputes that require legal services. These charges will be billed to the payment method we have on file for User.
- User agrees to be responsible for notifying Neteron should User desire to terminate use of any of the Parked Page Services, including, but not limited to, those purchased. Notification of User's intent to terminate must be provided to Neteron no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to User's billing date but no later than ten (10) days prior to the billing date. In the absence of notification from User, Neteron will automatically continue the Parked Page Services indefinitely and will charge User's payment method that is on file with Neteron, at Neteron's then current rates. It is User's responsibility to keep their payment method information current, which includes the expiration date if using a credit card. In the event User terminates the Parked Page Services, moving their Web site off of the Neteron servers is User's responsibility. Neteron will not transfer or FTP such Web site to another provider. Any change by User of their name-server is not deemed cancellation of the Parked Page Services.
- Neteron will provide User with the Parked Page Services as long as User abides by the terms and conditions set forth herein and in each of Neteron's policies and procedures.
- By using any of the Parked Pages Services, User agrees that Neteron may point the domain name or DNS to one of Neteron's or Neteron's affiliates web pages, and that they may place advertising on User's web page and that Neteron specifically reserves this right. User shall have no right to any compensation and shall not be entitled and shall have no right to receive any funds related to the monetization of User's Parked Pages.
- User agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Neteron for any complications arising out of use of the Parked Page Services, including, but not limited to, actions Neteron chooses to take to remedy User's improper or illegal use of a Web site hosted by Neteron. User agrees it is not be entitled to a refund of any fees paid to Neteron if, for any reason, Neteron takes corrective action with respect to any improper or illegal use of the Parked Page Services.
- If a dispute arises as a result of one or more of User's Parked Pages, User will indemnify, defend and hold Neteron harmless for damages arising out of such dispute. User also agrees that if Neteron is notified that a complaint has been filed with a governmental, administrative or judicial body, regarding a Web site hosted by Neteron, that Neteron, in its sole discretion, may take whatever action Neteron deems necessary regarding further modification, assignment of and/or control of the Web site to comply with the actions or requirements of the governmental, administrative or judicial body until such time as the dispute is settled.
SimpleScripts Terms SimpleScripts automates the installation of a given open source application. Users are free to install open source applications independently of SimpleScripts by following the instructions provided by Neteron or the organization that developed the open source application. When a User uses an open source application, the User licenses it from the open source provider, not from Neteron.
- We do not provide support for the application once the application has been successfully installed; we provide support only for the installation or upgrade process. Any support requests regarding actual use of the application must be directed to the organization or Neteron that developed the application.
- The User is responsible for creating back-ups before upgrading to the next version.
- We can not guarantee that the version we currently provide is the latest one being distributed by the vendor.
- Any security risks including, but not limited to, hacking, phishing and information piracy are the sole responsibility of the User.
- We reserve the right to discontinue applications managed by SimpleScripts at any time.
- SimpleScripts applications are installed at the User's own risk. We can not be held liable for lost data or damage caused by open source applications provided through SimpleScripts.

- Neteron is not responsible for the actions or misrepresentations of Resellers. The Reseller hereby agrees to indemnify Neteron from and against any and all claims made by any User that result from the Reseller's misrepresentation, breach of the Terms of Service or other improper actions by the Reseller.
- Neteron reserves the right to revise its Wholesale, Wholesale Plus and Private-Label Reseller Programs, AUP and the Terms of Service at any time.

- Users who have been signed up by Resellers agree to operate their Web sites in accordance with the Terms of Service.
- Resellers cannot make any modifications to the Neteron Terms of Service.

- Resellers in the Wholesale Reseller Program assume all responsibility for billing and technical support for each of their Users. Neteron reserves the right to refuse inquiries made to the Support Team from the Customers of Resellers in the Wholesale Reseller Program.
Obligations of Resellers of Domain Registrar Services If you are a Reseller of Domain Registrar Services these Terms of Service, including without limitation the following provisions, constitute the agreement by which you would provide Registrar Services ("Registrar Reseller"):
- Registrar Reseller agrees to comply with any and all policies, terms and conditions of ICANN (http://www.icann.org/registrars/ra-agreement-17may01.htm), or such other registration agreement as ICANN, Neteron, or registry administrator shall post on their website from time to time, but only those portions that are applicable to all registrars, including, but not limited to, those that will prohibit the registration of certain domain names (those not allowed to be registered by statute or regulation).
- Registrar Reseller is prohibited from displaying the ICANN or ICANN-Accredited Registrar logo, or from otherwise representing itself as accredited by ICANN unless it has written permission from ICANN to do so.
- Any registration agreement used by Registrar Reseller shall include all registration agreement provisions and notices required by the ICANN Registrar Accreditation Agreement and any ICANN Consensus Policies, and shall identify the sponsoring registrar or provide a means for identifying the sponsoring registrar, such as a link to the InterNIC Whois lookup service.
- Registrar Reseller shall identify the sponsoring registrar upon inquiry from the customer.
- Registrar Reseller shall ensure that the identity and contact information provided by the customer of any privacy or proxy registration service offered or made available by Registrar Reseller in connection with each registration will be deposited with Registrar or held in escrow or, alternatively, display a conspicuous notice to such customers at the time an election is made to utilize such privacy or proxy service that their data is not being escrowed. Where escrow is used, the escrow agreement will provide, at a minimum, that data will be released to registrar in the event Registrar Reseller breaches this reseller agreement, and such breach is harmful to consumers or the public interest. In the event that ICANN makes available a program granting recognition to resellers that escrow privacy or proxy registration data as detailed above, and Registrar Reseller meets any other criteria established by ICANN in accordance with its Bylaws, Registrar Reseller shall be permitted to apply to ICANN for such recognition.
- Registrar Reseller shall provide a link to the ICANN webpage that identifies available registrant rights and responsibilities, currently found at http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/registrant-rights-responsibilities on any website it may operate for domain name registration or renewal clearly. Such link shall be displayed to its registered name holders at least as clearly as links to policies or notifications required to be displayed under ICANN Consensus Policies.
- If Neteron becomes aware that such a Registrar Reseller is in breach of any of the foregoing provisions, Neteron shall take reasonable steps to notify the Registrar Reseller that it is in breach of this reseller agreement and that Neteron has the right to terminate such agreement.
Virtual Private Servers (VPS). VPS sometimes also referred to as Virtual Dedicated Server When creating a VPS account, we split dedicated servers into independent areas, referred to as containers. The customer is responsible for providing the firewalls, software, web files, content and Operating systems for the customer's container, independent of other containers on the server. Each container is allotted its own disk space, CPU power, bandwidth, and memory. This isolation of server space allows for independent server customization for which the customer is responsible VPS is different from shared hosting, and VPS customers should be technically advanced and prepared to use and operate a server, various Operating Systems, Linux and root access. In addition to all terms and conditions described in this Agreement, the following shall also be applicable to Neteron VPS customers;
- The Customer assumes all responsibility for installation and maintenance of the Operating System (OS) used within the customer's container, as well as any reinstalls and changes.
- Customer assumes all responsibility for their VPS environment, firewalls, protections from bugs, viruses or other intrusions, content applications and resources used.
- Customer agrees to take full responsibility for installation, storage, back-up, maintenance, and other aspects of its files, software, data and other content or items transferred to or used in the container and the VPS account.
- The Customer is solely responsible for all files contained in their VPS whether the Customer had knowledge of the files or not and for assuring that the container is used and operated in compliance with this Agreement.
- It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure their system is secured and safe from compromise at all time. If a container is found to be compromised or in violation of this Agreement, Neteron has the right to suspend and terminate service immediately.
Resource Usage Limits. Misuse of system resources, including but not limited to, employing programs that consume excessive CPU time (outside of reserved for user's container), network capacity, disk IO or storage space, may result in account suspension and termination.
- Mail Policy. VPS accounts will be governed by our shared-hosting mail policy. Furthermore, anyone hosting websites or services on their server or container that support spammers or cause any of our IP space to be listed in any of the various Spam Databases will have their server immediately removed from our network.Third-Party Software. In the event You elect to install any third-party software, the following terms shall apply;

Acceptable use policy
General Information
As used herein, the term "User" or "Users" shall include any and all users, Customers, subscribers, affiliates (including without limitations Customers or non-Customers to whom Neteron provides links or banners to promote the services or products of Neteron or any third party the services or products of which are offered by or obtained through or in connection with Neteron), resellers or others (i) who sign up for, use or obtain services or products from Neteron or from any third party services or products of which are offered by or obtained through or in connection with Neteron, or (ii) who visit the Web site of Neteron Web Hosting or of any such third party. As a provider of Internet/World Wide Web access, Web site hosting, and other Internet-related services, Neteron, ("Neteron") offers Users, the means to acquire and disseminate a wealth of public, private, commercial, and non-commercial information. Neteron respects that the Internet provides a forum for free and open discussion and dissemination of information, however, when there are competing interests at issue, Neteron reserves the right to take certain preventative or corrective actions. In order to protect these competing interests, Neteron has developed this Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"), which supplements and explains certain terms of each User's respective service agreement and is intended as a guide to the User's rights and obligations when utilizing Neteron's services. This AUP will be revised from time to time. A User's use of Neteron's services after changes to the AUP are posted on Neteron Web Hosting's Web site, under the Terms of Service section, will constitute the User's acceptance of any new or additional terms of the AUP that result from those changes. One important aspect of the Internet is that no one party owns or controls it. This fact accounts for much of the Internet's openness and value, but it also places a high premium on the judgment and responsibility of those who use the Internet, both in the information they acquire and in the information they disseminate to others. When Users or others obtain information through the Internet, they must keep in mind that Neteron cannot and does not monitor, verify, warrant, or vouch for the accuracy and quality of the information that users may acquire. For this reason, the user must exercise his or her best judgment in relying on information obtained from the Internet, and also should be aware that some material posted to the Internet is sexually explicit or otherwise offensive. Because Neteron cannot monitor or censor the Internet, and will not attempt to do so, Neteron cannot and does not accept any responsibility for injury to its Users or others that results from inaccurate, unsuitable, offensive, or illegal Internet communications. When Users or others disseminate information through the Internet, they also must keep in mind that Neteron does not review, edit, censor, or take responsibility for any information its users, customers, subscribers or others may create. When Users or others place information on the Internet, they have the same liability as other authors for copyright infringement, defamation, and other harmful speech. Also, because the information they create is carried over Neteron's network and may reach a large number of people, including both Users and subscribers and non-subscribers of Neteron, Users' postings to the Internet may affect others and may harm Neteron's goodwill, business reputation, and operations. For these reasons, Users violate Neteron policy and the service agreement when they, their users, customers, subscribers, employees, affiliates, or subsidiaries engage in activities described herein.
Scope
This AUP governs the usage of products and services of Neteron or of any third party which are subscribed to or obtained through Neteron (the "Services"). This AUP is incorporated by reference into each contract Neteron or any such third party enters into with a User for the use of such Services. Neteron may modify this AUP at any time without notice. In addition, this AUP is incorporated by reference into the Terms of Service applicable to the Web site of Neteron Web Hosting so that no person who utilizes the Web site or services of Neteron Web Hosting (regardless of whether that person is a User) may take any action utilizing the Web site of Neteron Web Hosting that a User would be prohibited to take utilizing the Services.
Purpose
The purpose of this AUP is to enhance the quality of the Services and to protect Users, and the Internet community as a whole, from illegal, irresponsible, or disruptive Internet activities. This AUP applies to each User. Each User should use common sense and good judgment in connection with the Services. Parents or guardians should always supervise minors in using the Internet. Parents and guardians should remain aware at all times of what is on the Internet and how the minors under their care are using the Services and the Internet.
Prohibited Uses
Users may not:

We may use cookies to collect, store, and sometimes track information for statistical purposes to improve the products and services we provide and to manage our telecommunications networks.

We do not control use of these cookies and are not responsible for information collected through them.
Customer Surveys. We may periodically conduct customer surveys. Participation in our customer surveys is voluntary. However, we encourage our Users to participate in these surveys because your survey answers provide us with important information that helps us improve the types of services we offer and how we provide them to you. Your personal information, if provided, will remain confidential, even if the survey is conducted by a third party service provider on our behalf.
Collection by Linked Websites. We provide links to some third party websites as a convenience to the User. Please exercise care when visiting linked websites. The linked websites have separate and independent privacy statements, notices and terms of use which we recommend you read carefully. When you visit or make purchases through these third party sites, you may be asked to provide personal information, such as your name, address, email address, phone number, and credit/debit card information. Please note that in such cases, you are providing information to a third party and we have no control over such third party's use of any information you provide and, therefore, we have no responsibility or liability for the manner in which the third party that operates a linked website may collect, use, disclose, secure or otherwise treat your personal information. Except as provided herein, we will not provide any of your personal information to any third parties without your consent.
USE OF INFORMATION. We use the information we collect to provide cloud-based product solutions and services along with collecting payment. Passively collected information, such as information collected from or about your device including through the placement or reading of cookies or other tracking technologies is used to provide a customized experience as you use our services.
Subscriber Contact/Account Information. The information collected from Subscribers is used to manage each Subscriber's account (such as for billing and account management purposes) and to promote other products or services that we believe may be of interest to the Subscriber. We may also generate aggregate profiles from information that Subscribers provide during registration (such as the total number of Subscribers in a given category). As explained in more detail below, we may in certain instances use aggregated and non-identifying information to promote advertisements that appear on our website and in connection with our services.
Analytics/Statistics. We use information gathered from our website analytics (for example, User IP addresses) to help diagnose problems with our servers, and to administer and optimize our website. We also gather broad demographic information from this data to help us improve our website and make your browsing and purchasing experience more responsive, efficient, or enjoyable. Any statistics gathered by us are proprietary property of the Company.
Responses to Email Inquiries. When Subscribers send email inquiries to us, the return email address (and other personal information provided in the inquiry) is used to answer the email inquiry we receive.
Customer Surveys. We may use the contact and other information provided to follow up with Users who respond to our customer surveys to help resolve issues internally or with our third party partners. For example, we may contact Users based on their survey answers or to highlight certain changes we made in response to User feedback.
SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION OR NON-IDENTIFYING AGGREGATED DATA. From time to time, we may share personal information with the Company's other fully or partially-owned entities and brands to improve or offer new products or services that we believe may be of interest to our Users. We may also share personal information when we believe that such disclosure is required by law, to deliver a product or service, or as described below.
- Product and Service Partners. Some products or services are offered or promoted to Users in conjunction with a partner or sponsor. For example, we may partner with other corporate affiliates of the Company or with trusted non-affiliated partners for co-promotions of a particular product or service. We may share certain User information such as contact or demographic information, but no billing information, with such partners or sponsors in order to provide the relevant services or to run the promotion. If we share User information with such partners and sponsors, we require that they maintain the User information in confidence, and use the information solely for purposes of providing the services or carrying out the agreed upon promotion.
- Service Providers. We may transfer (or otherwise make available) your personal information to third parties that help us provide our services or provide services on our behalf. For example, we may use service providers to authorize and process payments, administer surveys, or run promotions. Your personal information may be maintained and processed by our third party service providers in the United States or in other jurisdictions. Our service providers are given the information they need to perform their designated functions, and we do not authorize them to use or disclose personal information for their own marketing or other purposes.
- Online Advertisements. We do not share personally identifiable information about individual Users with advertisers. We may display online advertisements and we may share aggregated and non-identifying information about our Users that we collect through the registration process or through online surveys and promotions with certain advertisers. In some instances, we use this aggregated and non-identifying information to deliver tailored advertisements. For example, an advertiser may tell us the audience they want to reach (e.g., males between 25 and 55 years of age) and provide us with an advertisement tailored to the audience. Based upon the aggregated and non-identifying information we have collected, we may then display the advertisement to the intended audience.
- Customer Surveys. We may share User information obtained from customer surveys within the Company and with trusted third parties to develop or provide products and services that we believe would be of interest to the User.
- Sale of Business. If the Company is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a material portion of its assets, change in corporate control, or insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our website of any such change in ownership or use of your personal information as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information.
- Law Enforcement and Special Cases. We, or our service providers, may disclose personal information about Users, or information regarding your use of the services in response to governmental or legal requests (such as to a subpoena, search warrant, or court order), or as otherwise required to comply with applicable laws. We may also disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against a party that threatens us, our systems or our Users (for example, to prevent a Distributed Denial of Service, or DDoS, attack).
- Domain Registration. In certain jurisdictions or pursuant to the rules of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") or certain registries, the contact information you provide to register a domain name ("Domain Name Registration Information") has to be made available and accessible to the public through a "WHOIS" search. The WHOIS database is a publicly accessible database that lists the Domain Name Registration Information for a particular domain name, the name server(s) to which the domain name points, and the domain name's creation and expiration date. The Domain Name Registration Information you provide is hosted by us or a third party service provider and is made available to the public through WHOIS searches. At times, Subscribers may receive solicitations that result from searches of the publicly available WHOIS database by other companies or individuals. Any such solicitations or SPAM do not come from us and we do not control the use of WHOIS information by third parties. We may also deposit your Domain Name Registration Information with a third-party escrow provider to comply with ICANN requirements.
How to Access or Modify Your Information. We allow you to access, update, and correct inaccuracies in your personal information in our custody and control, subject to certain exceptions prescribed by law. You may request access, updating and corrections of inaccuracies in your personal information we have in our custody or control by accessing your personal profile in your account or by contacting support via email, phone or online chat. We may request certain personal information for the purposes of verifying the identity of the individual seeking access to their personal information records.
To ensure you receive the information you need to manage your account and protect your privacy, please be sure to keep your contact and billing information up to date. You can update all account-related information directly through your Control Panel. Alternatively, you can contact Neteron support by phone +(358) 442012914 or through our online support form.
OUR COMMITMENT TO DATA SECURITY. We have implemented measures designed to protect personal information in our custody and control. We maintain reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards in an effort to protect against unauthorized access, use, modification and disclosure of personal information in our custody and control. Unfortunately, no data storage or transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information in transit and as stored on our systems or the systems of our third party service providers, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this website cannot be guaranteed; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party, despite our best efforts. When you enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number) on our order forms, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).
Password. Your online access to certain personal information may be protected with a password you select. We strongly recommend that you do not disclose your password to anyone. We will never ask you for your password in any unsolicited communication (such as letters, phone calls or email messages).
REVISIONS TO THIS POLICY. We reserve the right to revise, amend, or modify this Privacy Policy at any time and in any manner. However, if we plan to materially change how we plan to use previously collected personal information, we will provide you with advance notice prior to the change becoming effective and an opportunity to opt-out of such differing uses. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices. You can find when this Privacy Policy was last updated at the bottom of this page.

For example, if you create an account or log into the Services using your Google credentials, we receive your name and email address as permitted by your Google profile settings in order to authenticate you. You or your administrator may also integrate our Services with other services you use. The information we receive when you link or integrate our Services with a third-party service depends on the settings, permissions and privacy policy controlled by that third-party service. You should always check the privacy settings and notices in these third-party services to understand what data may be disclosed to us or shared with our Services.
Neteron Partners: We work with a variety of Resellers who provide purchasing and other services around our products. We receive information from these resellers, such as billing information, billing and admin contact information, company name, what Neteron products you have purchased or may be interested in.
How we use information we collect
Below are the specific purposes for which we use the information we collect about you.
To provide the Services and personalize your experience: We use information about you to provide the Services to you, including to process transactions with you, authenticate you when you log in, provide customer support, and operate and maintain the Services. For example, we use the name and picture you provide in your account to identify you to other Service users. Our Services also include tailored features that personalize your experience, enhance your productivity, and improve your ability to collaborate effectively with others by automatically analyzing the activities of your team to provide activity feeds and notifications that are relevant for you and your team. We may use your email domain to infer your affiliation with a particular organization or industry to personalize the content and experience you receive on our websites. Where you use multiple Services, we combine information about you and your activities to provide an integrated experience, such as to allow you to find information from one Service while searching from another or to present relevant product information as you travel across our websites.
For research and development: We are always looking for ways to make our Services smarter, faster, secure, integrated, and useful to you. We use collective learnings about how people use our Services and feedback provided directly to us to troubleshoot and to identify trends, usage, activity patterns and areas for integration and improvement of the Services. We also test and analyze certain new features with some users before rolling the feature out to all users.
To communicate with you about the Services: We use your contact information to send transactional communications via email and within the Services, including confirming your purchases, reminding you of subscription expirations, responding to your comments, questions and requests, providing customer support, and sending you technical notices, updates, security alerts, and administrative messages. We also send you communications as you onboard to a particular Service to help you become more proficient in using that Service. These communications are part of the Services and in most cases you cannot opt out of them. If an opt out is available, you will find that option within the communication itself or in your account settings.
To market, promote and drive engagement with the Services: We use your contact information and information about how you use the Services to send promotional communications that may be of specific interest to you, including by email and by displaying Neteron ads on other companies' websites and applications, as well as on platforms like Facebook and Google. These communications are aimed at driving engagement and maximizing what you get out of the Services, including information about new features, survey requests, newsletters, and events we think may be of interest to you. We also communicate with you about new product offers, promotions and contests. You can control whether you receive these communications as described below under "Opt-out of communications."
For Customer support: We use your information to resolve technical issues you encounter, to respond to your requests for assistance, to analyze crash information, and to repair and improve the Services.
For safety and security: We use information about you and your Service use to verify accounts and activity, to monitor suspicious or fraudulent activity and to identify violations of Service policies.
To protect our legitimate business interests and legal rights: Where required by law or where we believe it is necessary to protect our legal rights, interests and the interests of others, we use information about you in connection with legal claims, compliance, regulatory, and audit functions, and disclosures in connection with the acquisition, merger or sale of a business.
With your consent: We use information about you where you have given us consent to do so for a specific purpose not listed above. For example, we may publish testimonials or featured customer stories to promote the Services, with your permission.
Legal bases for processing (for EEA users):
If you are an individual in the European Economic Area (EEA), we collect and process information about you only where we have legal bases for doing so under applicable EU laws. The legal bases depend on the Services you use and how you use them. This means we collect and use your information only where:
- We need it to provide you the Services, including to operate the Services, provide customer support and personalized features and to protect the safety and security of the Services;
- It satisfies a legitimate interest (which is not overridden by your data protection interests), such as for research and development, to market and promote the Services and to protect our legal rights and interests;
- You give us consent to do so for a specific purpose; or
- We need to process your data to comply with a legal obligation.
If you have consented to our use of information about you for a specific purpose, you have the right to change your mind at any time, but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place. Where we are using your information because we or a third party (e.g. your employer) have a legitimate interest to do so, you have the right to object to that use though, in some cases, this may mean no longer using the Services.
How we share information we collect
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others rights, property, or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
Sharing with other Service users
When you use the Services, we share certain information about you with other Service users.
For collaboration: You can create content, which may contain information about you, and grant permission to others to see, share, edit, copy and download that content based on settings you or your administrator (if applicable) select.
Managed accounts and administrators: If you register or access the Services using an email address with a domain that is owned by your employer or organization, and such organization wishes to establish an account or site, certain information about you including your name, profile picture, contact info, content and past use of your account may become accessible to that organization’s administrator and other Service users sharing the same domain. If you are an administrator for a particular site or group of users within the Services, we may share your contact information with current or past Service users, for the purpose of facilitating Service-related requests.
Community Forums: Our websites offer publicly accessible blogs, forums, issue trackers, and wikis like Neteron Community. You should be aware that any information you provide on these websites - including profile information associated with the account you use to post the information - may be read, collected, and used by any member of the public who accesses these websites. Your posts and certain profile information may remain even after you delete your account. We urge you to consider the sensitivity of any information you input into these Services. To request removal of your information from publicly accessible websites operated by us, please contact us as provided below. In some cases, we may not be able to remove your information, in which case we will let you know if we are unable to and why.
Sharing with third parties
We share information with third parties that help us operate, provide, improve, integrate, customize, support and market our Services.
Service Providers: We work with third-party service providers to provide website and application development, hosting, maintenance, backup, storage, virtual infrastructure, payment processing, analysis and other services for us, which may require them to access or use information about you. If a service provider needs to access information about you to perform services on our behalf, they do so under close instruction from us, including policies and procedures designed to protect your information.
Third Party Apps: You, your administrator or other Service users may choose to add new functionality or change the behavior of the Services by enabling integrations with third party apps within the Services. Doing so may give third-party apps access to your account and information about you like your name and email address, and any content you choose to use in connection with those apps.
Third-party app policies and procedures are not controlled by us, and this privacy policy does not cover how third-party apps use your information. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third parties before connecting to or using their applications or services to learn more about their privacy and information handling practices. If you object to information about you being shared with these third parties, please uninstall the app.
Links to Third Party Sites: The Services may include links that direct you to other websites or services whose privacy practices may differ from ours. If you submit information to any of those third party sites, your information is governed by their privacy policies, not this one. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy of any website you visit.
Third-Party Widgets: Some of our Services contain widgets and social media features, such as the Twitter "tweet" button. These widgets and features collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on the Services, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Widgets and social media features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Services. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.
Compliance with Enforcement Requests and Applicable Laws; Enforcement of Our Rights: In exceptional circumstances, we may share information about you with a third party if we believe that sharing is reasonably necessary to (a) comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, including to meet national security requirements, (b) enforce our agreements, policies and terms of service, (c) protect the security or integrity of our products and services, (d) protect Neteron, our customers or the public from harm or illegal activities, or (e) respond to an emergency which we believe in good faith requires us to disclose information to assist in preventing the death or serious bodily injury of any person.
How we store and secure information we collect
Information storage and security
We use data hosting service providers in the EU and host the information we collect, and we use technical measures to secure your data.
While we implement safeguards designed to protect your information, no security system is impenetrable and due to the inherent nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that data, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our systems or otherwise in our care, is absolutely safe from intrusion by others.
How long we keep information
How long we keep information we collect about you depends on the type of information, as described in further detail below. After such time, we will either delete or anonymize your information.
Account information: We retain your account information for as long as your account is active and up to six months thereafter in case you decide to re-activate the Services. We also retain some of your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to enforce our agreements, to support business operations, and to continue to develop and improve our Services.
Information you share on the Services: If your account is deleted, some of your information and the content you have provided will remain in order to allow your team members or other users to make full use of the Services.
Managed accounts: If the Services are made available to you through an organization (e.g., your employer), we retain your information as long as required by the administrator of your account.
Marketing information: If you have elected to receive marketing emails from us, we retain information about your marketing preferences for a reasonable period of time from the date you last expressed interest in our Services, such as when you last opened an email from us or ceased using your Neteron account. We retain information derived from cookies and other tracking technologies for a reasonable period of time from the date such information was created.
How to access and control your information
You have certain choices available to you when it comes to your information. Below is a summary of those choices, how to exercise them and any limitations.
Your Choices:
You have the right to request a copy of your information, to object to our use of your information (including for marketing purposes), to request the deletion or restriction of your information, or to request your information in a structured, electronic format. Below, we describe the tools and processes for making these requests. You may contact us as provided in the Contact Us section below to request assistance.
Your request and choices may be limited in certain cases: for example, if fulfilling your request would reveal information about another person, or if you ask to delete information which we or your administrator are permitted by law or have compelling legitimate interests to keep. Where you have asked us to share data with third parties, for example, by installing third-party apps, you will need to contact those third-party service providers directly to have your information deleted or otherwise restricted. If you have unresolved concerns, you may have the right to complain to a data protection authority in the country where you live, where you work or where you feel your rights were infringed.
Access and update your information: Our Services and related documentation give you the ability to access and update certain information about you from within the Service. You can update your profile information within your profile settings.
Delete your account: If you no longer wish to use our Services, you or your administrator may be able to delete your Services account. If you can delete your own account, that setting is available to you in your account settings. Otherwise, please contact your administrator. You may also contact Neteron support (legal@neteron.com) to request your account be deleted.
Delete your information: Our Services give you the ability to delete certain information about you from within the Service. For example, you can remove certain profile information within your profile settings. Please note, however, that we may need to retain certain information for record keeping purposes, to complete transactions or to comply with our legal obligations.

Some of our products are intended for use by organizations. Where the Services are made available to you through an organization (e.g. your employer), that organization is the administrator of the Services and is responsible for the accounts and/or Service sites over which it has control.

You further represent that you have obtained consent from any third-party individuals whose personal data you have provided as Registration Information.
Information requirements for renewals
Upon renewal of your domain registration, the type of information you are required to provide may have changed. If you do not wish to provide the new required information, your domain registration may not be renewed.

The Domain Name Holder's failure to verify such changes within 15 days constitutes a material breach of this Registration Agreement and will result in the immediate suspension of the domain name(s) and associated service(s).

- To comply with any applicable laws, rules, regulations or requirements, or with any subpoenas, court orders, official government inquiries or requests of law enforcement;
- To comply with ICANN's Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy;
- To resolve any and all third-party claims, whether threatened or made, arising out of your use of the Domain Privacy service, including without limitation, to avoid a dispute of any claim that the registered domain name violates or infringes a third party's trademark, trade name, or other legal rights;
- In the event you breach any provision of this Registration Agreement or any other agreement you've entered into with Neteron, including, but not limited to, the Terms of Service;
- To comply with the rules, procedures, or practices of the registry that governs the domain name extension receiving the Domain Privacy service and to protect the integrity and stability of the applicable domain name registry;
- To avoid any financial loss or legal liability (civil or criminal) on the part of Neteron, its parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, shareholders, agents, officers, directors, or employees;
- To prevent inappropriate activity that comes to Neteron's attention, including without limitation if you are using Domain Privacy to hide your involvement in illegal or morally objectionable activities, including without limitation, activities that are intended to or otherwise: (i) appeal purely to the prurient interests of third parties; (ii) defame, embarrass, harm, abuse, threaten, or harass third parties; (iii) violate state or federal laws of the United States and/or foreign territories; (iv) involve hate crimes, terrorism, or child pornography; (v) are tortious, vulgar, obscene, invasive of a third party's privacy, racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable; (vi) impersonate the identity of a third party; (vii) harm minors in any way; or (viii) relate to or transmit viruses, Trojan Horses, access codes, backdoors, worms, time bombs, or any other code, routine, mechanism, device or item that corrupts, damages, impairs, interferes with, intercepts or misappropriates any software, hardware, firmware, network, system, data, or personally identifiable information.
If you purchased domain privacy services ("Domain Privacy"), you agree that your Registration Information will be replaced in any public WHOIS search with information provided by Neteron as determined in its sole discretion (the "Private WHOIS Contact Information").
Although the Private WHOIS Contact Information will appear in any public WHOIS search result, you are solely responsible for resolving any and all monetary, creditor, or other claims that arise in connection with a legal or other dispute involving your domain name registration. Use of the Domain Privacy service in no way alleviates your obligation to provide valid and accurate Registration Information and to update and correct such information pursuant to the terms of this Registration Agreement.
The Domain Privacy service is NOT a general mail forwarding service. You agree that you will not provide any third party with the Private WHOIS Contact Information for the purpose of having such third party transmit communications to you. Neteron may immediately terminate the Domain Privacy service and, at its sole option, disclose the Registration Information in the event that you breach this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, you agree that Neteron may, but is not obligated to, review and forward communications in connection with your domain name that it receives. You hereby authorize Neteron to receive, sort, open, forward, and destroy any and all mail sent to our address at our sole discretion. You specifically acknowledge that Neteron is not obligated but may forward to you certified or traceable courier mail (such as UPS or Federal Express deliveries), legal notices, or first class U.S. postal mail; however, Neteron will NOT forward "junk" mail or other unsolicited communications (whether delivered through fax, postal mail, or telephone), and you further authorize Neteron to either discard all such communications or return all such communications to the sender. You agree that: (i) postal mail may be forwarded via regular mail forwarding or scanned and emailed electronically to the email address listed in the Registration Information; (ii) emails will be forwarded to the email address listed in the Registration Information; and (iii) callers will be directed to use the mailing or email address listed on the Private WHOIS Contact Information and we will forward such mail or email pursuant to the terms of this section; we will not relay phone messages to you. You agree to waive any and all claims arising from your failure to receive communications directed to your domain name but not forwarded or referred to you by Neteron.
If any domain name for which you are using the Domain Privacy service is transferred to another registrar, Domain Privacy will automatically cease and no refund will be given for any unused portion of the service.
Failure to renew the Domain Privacy service while your domain name registration is still valid will result in the Domain Privacy being suspended, terminated or cancelled and your Registration Information will be displayed in any public WHOIS search. Domain Privacy renewals after initial purchase will be at the standard list price, which is available by logging in to your account.
Neteron expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without any liability to you whatsoever, to suspend or cancel your use of the Service and/or reveal the Registration Information in any public WHOIS search or to any third party at any time without notice to you:
Pursuant to paragraph 3.7.7.3 of ICANN's Registrar Accreditation Agreement ("RAA"), you agree that if you license use of a Registered Name (as that term is defined in the RAA) to a third party, you are nonetheless the Registered Name Holder of record (as that term is defined in the RAA) and are responsible for providing the full contact information and for providing and updating accurate technical and administrative contact information adequate to facilitate timely resolution of any problems that arise in connection with the Registered Name. A Registered Name Holder licensing use of a Registered Name according to this provision shall accept liability for any harm caused by wrongful use of the Registered Name, unless the Registered Name Holder discloses the current contact information provided by the licensee and the identity of the licensee within seven (7) days to a party that provides the Registered Name Holder reasonable evidence of actionable harm.
Domain Parking
- Upon registration, the domain will be automatically placed on name servers provided by Neteron, and Internet users that type in the domain will be redirected to a "coming soon" page (collectively, "parking a domain" or a "parked domain"). There is no charge for parking a domain. You hereby consent to and authorize Neteron's placement of a "coming soon" page, and its associated contents, on your parked domain. You may change the name server configuration (or "un-park" the domain) after the registration is complete. If you need to register name servers using the domains that you are currently registering, the names will initially be parked with Neteron until you modify the name servers after the domain registration is complete, using your account manager.
- In the event your domain registration expires, your registration is no longer valid. If you are able to renew the domain name, you may update the domain to its original settings. After expiration, but prior to renewal, the domain may be pointed to an "expired" page (collectively, "parking a domain" or a "parked domain"). There is no charge for the parked domain. By not renewing the domain, Neteron may place an "expired" page, and its associated contents, on the parked domain. You may change the name server configuration (or "un-park" the domain) after the renewal is complete. If you need to register name servers using the domains that you are currently renewing, the names will initially be parked with Neteron until you modify the name servers after the domain renewal is complete, using your account manager.
- The "coming soon" and/or "expired" pages may contain advertisements and other materials selected by Neteron, in Neteron's sole discretion. This may include, but is not limited to third-party websites, third-party product and service offerings, and/or Internet search engines. Neteron reserves the right to collect and retain all revenue obtained from such advertising and other materials.
- 404 Error Page. In the event you fail to configure a 404 error page, a default 404 error page will be configured by Neteron to appear in the event an Internet user enters a URL related to your domain but for which no file is associated. By not configuring a 404 error page, you hereby consent to and authorize Neteron's placement of a default 404 error page and its associated content on your website. Neteron's 404 error page may contain advertisements and other materials selected by Neteron in Neteron's sole discretion. This may include, but is not limited to, third-party websites, third-party product and service offerings, and/or Internet search engines. You may change the 404 error page configuration at any time. Neteron reserves the right to collect and retain all revenue obtained from such advertising and other materials.
DNS Wildcard
In the event you utilize Neteron's DNS management services and fail to configure a wildcard DNS for your domain, Neteron may insert wildcard DNS records to resolve subdomains of your domain that would not otherwise resolve. Neteron may point those subdomains to a web page that may contain advertisements and other materials selected by Neteron in Neteron's sole discretion. This may include, but is not limited to, third-party websites, third-party product and service offerings, and/or Internet search engines.
Registration Renewal
- Renewal obligations. You are solely responsible for ensuring that any and all domains and additional services are renewed prior to their expiration, should you so desire their renewal. You may renew your domain at any time before the expiration date. Neteron shall have no liability to you or any third party in connection with the renewal, including, but not limited to, any failure or errors in renewing the services.
You may be notified at Neteron's sole discretion when renewal fees are due. Should these fees go unpaid within the time specified in a notice or reminder regarding renewal, your registration will be cancelled. Payment must be made by such other method as we indicate in the renewal form. If your billing information is not accurate, you are solely responsible for the failure to renew.
- Autorenewal. You agree that if you paid for any services provided hereunder by credit card or other payment service (such as PayPal), you hereby authorize but do NOT obligate, Neteron to automatically charge your credit card or payment service account and renew the applicable service(s) on or before their renewal date using the credit card or other acceptable payment information you have provided to Neteron, unless you notify Neteron that you do not wish to participate in Neteron's automatic renewal process. Neteron must receive notification of your intent to not renew (opt-out) no later than sixteen (16) days prior to the renewal date. In the absence of such notification from you, Neteron will automatically renew, for a period of one (1) or two (2) years, as set forth by the applicable registry depending on the TLD or ccTLD of your domain name, any domain that is up for renewal and will charge the credit card or payment service account you have on file with Neteron, at Neteron's then current rates. You are solely responsible for the credit card or other payment information you provide to Neteron and must promptly inform Neteron of any changes thereto (e.g., change of expiration date or account number). If the credit card or payment service account has expired or is otherwise invalid, you are solely responsible for a failure to renew and Neteron shall not be liable for your failure.
- Expired domain names. You agree that we may place our contact information in the WHOIS output for any expired domain name, as the failure to renew results in the immediate cancellation of registration and loss of all rights to the domain name. Should you choose not to renew your domain name, you agree that we may, in our sole discretion, renew and transfer the domain name to a third party on your behalf as an Expired Domain Transfer ("ED Transfer").
- New customers through domain auction or brokerage partners and/or ED Transfers. If you are registering a domain name that was registered with, and not yet deleted by, Neteron 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 an ED Transfer (defined above). You will not be compensated for the inability to use the domain from the time it was expired until the time you are able to use the domain in your account. NOTE: You may not transfer your domain name to another Registrar for sixty (60) days from the date of any previous transfer.
Domain Dispute Resolution Policy
You agree to be bound by the appropriate domain dispute resolution policy ("Dispute Policy") applicable to the domain that you have selected, including the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy. The Dispute Policy has been developed by ICANN and/or the specific Registration Administrator(s) and is incorporated by reference in this Registration Agreement. Certain disputes are subject to the applicable Dispute Policy. In the event such dispute arises, you agree that you will be subject to the provisions specified in the applicable Dispute Policy in effect at the time your domain registration is disputed by a third party. You further agree that, in the event a domain dispute arises with any third party, you will indemnify and hold Neteron harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the applicable Dispute Policy. The Dispute Policy may be modified at any time by ICANN or the applicable Registry Administrator, and your continued use of the domain registered to you after any such Dispute Policy modification shall constitute your acceptance of the modified Dispute Policy and this Registration Agreement. If you do not agree to any of such changes, you may request that your domain registration be cancelled or transferred to a different domain registrar. For the adjudication of disputes concerning or arising from use of the second level domain ("SLD") name, the SLD holder shall submit, without prejudice to other potentially applicable jurisdictions, to the jurisdiction of the courts (1) of the SLD holder's domicile and (2) where registrar is located. In addition, you agree to the rules of ICANN's Uniform Rapid Suspension ("URS") and to submit to any proceedings commenced pursuant to the URS, if applicable.

(https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/transfer-policy-2016-06-01-en). - Transfer of registration to another registrant. The entity or person named as the "registrant" at the time the controlling user name and password are secured shall be the registrant of the domain. You agree that prior to the effectiveness of any transfer of ownership of your domain to another entity, Neteron reserves the right to enforce any amount published for the transfer of ownership of a domain. You further agree that, as a condition of any such transfer of ownership of the domain, the party to which you seek to transfer your domain shall agree in writing (electronic acceptance is acceptable) to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Registration Agreement. Your domain will not be transferred until we receive such written assurances (or reasonable assurance as determined by Neteron in its sole discretion) and actual payment of the transfer fee, if any is imposed. You acknowledge and agree that if you attempt to transfer your domain registration without paying Neteron the amount published for the transfer of ownership of a domain, or if the entity to which you seek to transfer your domain fails to agree in writing to be bound by all terms and conditions of this Registration Agreement, any such transfer will be null and void, and will result in your domain registration being revoked without a refund of any charges you have incurred in attempting to register or transfer that domain.
- When changing the name of registrant within Neteron, you agree that at Neteron's discretion, the domain name may be changed back to the registrant listed immediately prior to the change upon written (email is acceptable) request within five (5) days (or such reasonable time as determined at Neteron's discretion) by registrant that was listed immediately prior to change or in the event of suspected fraud in connection with the change of the registrant name as determined by Neteron in its sole discretion.
- Transfer of registration to or from another registrar. When transferring a domain name into Neteron as the new registrar of record and simultaneously changing the name of registrant or subsequently changing the name of registrant, you agree that the domain name may be re-transferred back to the losing registrar upon written (email is acceptable) request by registrant that was listed immediately prior to transfer or upon request by losing registrar or in the event of suspected fraud in connection with the transfer as determined by Neteron in its sole discretion. At the time of transfer into Neteron, you must complete all required information requested through the online transfer application, i.e., contact information, nameserver information, etc. Neteron may elect to accept or reject your domain name transfer application for any reason at its sole discretion. You are not entitled to any refund in relation to the domain name transferred to another registrar.
- RESTRICTIONS ON REGISTRAR TRANSFERS. For generic top-level domains governed by ICANN, you agree that you may not transfer your domain registration to another domain registrar during the first sixty (60) days from the effective date of your: (1) initial domain registration or (2) completion of a domain transfer into Neteron. If you choose to utilize our transfer lock service, you agree to provide written authorization (electronic acceptance is acceptable) to Neteron for the transfer of the domain to another registrar and agree to pay any and all fees that may be charged by Neteron to effect the transfer. You agree your request to transfer your domain to another registrar may be denied pursuant to the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (available here).
For country-code top-level domains, as established by each registry, you agree that you may not transfer a domain to another registrar during the first sixty (60) days of the initial registration or after expiration of the domain. You agree your request to transfer your domain to another registrar may be denied pursuant to the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (available here).
- Transfer Lock. You agree that Neteron may, but is NOT obligated to, automatically opt your domain name into its Transfer Lock service to help protect against unauthorized transfers (applicable for .com and .net domain names). Neteron does NOT warranty NOR guarantee the service will prevent any unauthorized transfer of domain name(s). You may log in to your account and disable this service at anytime if you do not wish to use the service. Neteron will NOT be liable for any inconvenience this may cause you to properly transfer your domain. You are solely responsible for a failure to transfer the domain. Neteron shall not be liable for your failure.
Agents and Licensing
You agree that, if you are registering a domain and listing someone other than yourself as the registrant, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind the person or entity listed as registrant as a principal to this Registration Agreement, including the applicable Dispute Policy. The name listed as registrant of the domain or the appropriate officer of a listed Organization (at Neteron's discretion) may individually choose to move the domain into another account for full access to the domain, irrespective of wishes of agent/account owner/other listed contacts on that particular domain (e.g. admin, billing). Further, you agree that if you license the use of the domain registered to you to a third party, you nonetheless remain the domain holder of record, and remain responsible for strict compliance with this Registration Agreement, including but not limited to payment obligations, and providing (and updating, as necessary) accurate Registration Information and Additional Registration Information. Further, you accept liability for any actions of the licensee using the domain unless you promptly disclose the current contact information provided to you by the licensee and the identity of the licensee to any party providing reasonable evidence of actual harm.
Representations and Warranties

You further represent and warrant that all information provided by you in connection with your domain registration is accurate.

Domain Registration Reseller Agreement
This Reseller Agreement ("RSA") is a legal agreement by and between you, as you have identified yourself in your account information ("You" and "Your"), the backend service provider, Neteron, Incorporated. ("Neteron") and, the primary service provider, (the "Primary Service Provider"). If You are buying the Services (defined below) directly from Neteron, Neteron is both Your backend service provider and your Primary Service Provider. You warrant that the information You provide in Your account with Neteron ("Your Account") is accurate and that You will keep it updated. This RSA sets forth the terms and conditions of Your use and resale of Neteron Domain Name Registration and related services ("Services"). By using the Services, You acknowledge that You have read, understand and agree to be bound by this RSA, along with any additional terms, conditions or policies which Neteron or ICANN may establish from time to time, the current version of which can be found here: https://neteron.com/legal/. In addition to transactions entered into by You on Your behalf, You also agree to be bound by this RSA for transactions entered into on Your behalf by anyone acting as Your agent, and transactions entered into by anyone who uses Your Account. This RSA will only be effective upon Neteron provision of the Services to You. The terms and conditions of this RSA may be modified from time to time by Neteron. Such modifications become effective 30 days after Neteron notifies You of the modifications or immediately upon Your express consent to the revised terms and are effective from that date forward. You agree that we may notify You of the modifications by, for example, sending email to You at Your email address of record. If You do not agree to the terms and conditions of this RSA as modified, You may send us a cancellation notice and You will remain subject to the unmodified terms and conditions of this RSA (except Section 5 ICANN Obligations will apply to You) for the remainder of the term of the RSA, after which Your RSA will terminate.
Reselling the Services
- Subject to the terms and conditions of this RSA, Neteron grants You a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to resell the Services worldwide. The Services include, but are not limited to those Services listed on our site at https://neteron.com/resellers/ and any other Services as Neteron may make available in Your Account from time to time. Certain of the Services are offered only subject to additional terms and conditions which are available at https://neteron.com/legal/. To resell these Services, You and Your Sub-Resellers (defined below) and each of Your end customers purchasing these Services must agree to these additional terms and conditions as they may be updated from time to time. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Neteron for any failure by You or a Sub-Reseller below Your Account to obtain the consent of any Sub-Reseller or customer to these additional terms and conditions. The Services do not include other services which are not made available through Your Account by Neteron, its third party licensors or a Primary Service Provider other than Neteron. If Your Primary Service Provider is not Neteron, it is an independent reseller of Neteron and may offer its own services under separate agreement.
- You may authorize sub-resellers on Your Account to resell the Services ("Sub-Resellers") via accounts attached to Your Account ("Sub-Accounts"). You are responsible to Neteron for the costs, fees, expenses, acts and omissions of Your Sub-Resellers and any Sub-Resellers "below" them in Your Account or any Sub-Accounts. You are required to have all Sub-Resellers acknowledge and agree to the terms of this RSA. You agree to comply and ensure compliance by Your Sub-Resellers with this RSA, all applicable Neteron or ICANN policies, laws and regulations in reselling the Services. In the event a Sub-Reseller's Sub-Account is terminated by the Sub-Reseller, You or Neteron, You will be responsible for the Sub-Account.
- If You stop using Your Account, become unavailable to Neteron, Your Primary Service Provider (if applicable), Your customers or Sub-Resellers, or this RSA is terminated by Neteron for any reason, Neteron may, but is not obligated to, assume direct control over any of Your customers and/or Sub-Accounts.
Points, payments, and commissions
- You may be required to purchase "Points" to obtain all or certain of the Services. When You purchase Points, Your price for the Points may also include certain costs, such as online taxes and a convenience fee established by Neteron (currently set at 5%, subject to change at any time in Neteron sole discretion), which will not be reflected in Your Point total. For example, when You pay $100 toward the purchase of Points with Your credit card or PayPal account, You will be charged a convenience fee for online access, and in the event the convenience fee is 5%, and 95 Points will be deposited into Your Account. You agree to pay, prior to the effectiveness of the desired Services, the applicable Service fees communicated to You. If You have a Primary Service Provider other than Neteron, Your pricing for the Services is determined by Your Primary Service Provider. Neteron accepts checks and/or wire transfers with no additional charges. Please contact Neteron to arrange such a payment. Points are non-refundable for any reason and are not transferable without the consent of Neteron, which may be denied for any reason. You will be responsible for all merchant services fees, outlined in the Merchant Services Agreement at https://neteron.com/terms/, for any transaction originating from all Sub-Accounts below Your Account.
- Points and certain of the Services may be purchased using a credit card. You authorize Neteron to debit the credit card You present in relation to a particular transaction or the credit card You otherwise provide through Your Account. You must present only approved transactions to Neteron. Prior to contacting Your credit card company in relation to such charges, You will first contact Your Primary Service Provider (if Your Primary Service Provider is not Neteron) and thereafter Neteron to verify the charges and the manner of billing. You must require all Sub-Resellers and all customers in and below Your Account to only present approved transactions to Neteron and to contact Neteron regarding charges, as described above. Any chargeback by a credit card company or similar action by or through another payment provider relating to payment to Neteron, for whatever reason, whether by You, by any Sub-Reseller or customer below Your Account i) is a material breach of this RSA, ii) is an act for which You agree to be jointly and severally liable to make Neteron whole, iii) is an act with respect to which Neteron will charge $35.00 per incident, in addition to merchant services fees and other payment provider service charges which may be charged to Neteron, and iv) that the same shall be grounds for suspension and/or termination of this RSA and the Services. Under such circumstances, Neteron may suspend Your access to any and all of Your Accounts and may assume all right, title, interest in, and use of any domain name registration(s) and/or websites, email, or other data hosted on systems controlled by Neteron (the "Collateral"). Neteron will reinstate rights in the Collateral solely in its discretion, subject to receipt of the fee(s) owed and the then-current reinstatement fee, currently set at US$200. You hereby acknowledge and consent to Neteron right, but not obligation, to sell, dispose of, or retain the Collateral if Neteron determines the same to be a means of obtaining some monetary or other satisfaction or security, even if You assert that the value of the Collateral exceeds the amount You owe Neteron.
- Neteron may require that You pay for Points or the Services using a particular payment means, such as by wire transfer. Neteron may also demand reasonable assurance of payment at Neteron sole discretion.
- If You are using Neteron merchant services provider (credit card processing company), receipts from Your customers and Sub-Resellers will be processed by the merchant services provider(s) selected by Neteron and will be subject to convenience fees, taxes any and ICANN fees or assessments.
- You authorize Neteron to deduct from Your Points any amounts owed by You to Neteron, including, without limitation, amounts owed as a result of Your indemnification of Neteron for third party claims and any administrative costs, including reasonable administrative costs which may be charged for inactive accounts.
- You authorize Neteron to sell, take title to, and/or use any Collateral as a means of obtaining some monetary or other satisfaction for any amounts owed by You to Neteron, including, without limitation, amounts owed as a result of Your indemnification of Neteron for third party claims and any administrative costs, including reasonable administrative costs which may be charged for inactive accounts.
- If You have Sub-Account(s) below Your Account, You may earn commissions from sales generated by such Sub-Account(s). Such commissions will amount to the difference between the following: i) the price You charge the Sub-Reseller, less merchant service fees, taxes and ICANN fees; and ii) the price You are charged for the Services. When You have a balance greater than €25.00 (U.S.) in commissions which have aged more than 90 days (which allows time for chargebacks and reversed transactions), You will be able to have Your commissions transferred to Your Account balance, sent to You via a check deposited in the U.S. mail (another reason to keep Your Account information current) or via direct deposit, when and if direct deposit becomes available. Commissions will be reported through Your Account in Your Available Commission Balance. Your Point balance is not part of Your Available Commission Balance.
Support
- You are responsible for providing customer service, billing, and technical support to Your customers, Sub-Resellers and customers of Your Sub-Resellers. Neteron will provide telephone and/or email support to You 24 hours, 7 days per week. Neteron may, but is not obligated to, provide support directly to Your customers. If Neteron receives communications from registrants or from third-parties regarding Services provided in Your Account or any Sub-Accounts, Neteron will, where appropriate, forward such communications to You, the applicable Sub-Reseller, or the Primary Service Provider (if Your Primary Service Provider is not Neteron) at Neteron discretion for further action; however, reserves the right to respond to such communications directly. If Neteron determines that You are providing inadequate support to Your customers or Sub-Resellers (resulting in, for example, an excessive number of support calls directly from Your customers), You will be in breach of this RSA and Neteron may terminate this RSA.
Licensed Use of Trademarks and Technology
The Services may only be accessed through the application programming interface (including the associated documentation, the "API"), Your Account, websites created by Neteron which use the API, updates and upgrades thereto, and through such other means and technologies which Neteron makes available through its websites or downloads (collectively, the "Technology").

If You breach the provisions of this Section, any IP Interests created thereby shall be assigned to Neteron at the point they are fixed in tangible form. You agree to execute any documents necessary to affect an assignment of any such IP Interests to Neteron without compensation.
- You shall not use the Technology to communicate with or control a system other than one(s) designated by Neteron, and You may not access the Services using any access mechanism other than the Technology.
- You shall not abuse the Service infrastructure. "Abuse" in the foregoing sentence means, by way of example and without limitation, any action or conduct which degrades service to other users of the shared Services and Technology.

In addition, You must identify Neteron as the sponsoring registrar upon inquiry from Your customer or Sub-Resellers.
- You must comply with any ICANN-adopted specification or policy that establishes a program for accreditation of individuals or entities who provide proxy and privacy registration services (a "Proxy Accreditation Program").

Neteron, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to withhold indefinitely any Commission Fee, and/or to reverse, deny or reject any Commission Fee, for:
- Any account/sale which has not been in an approved status in good standing as an account of Neteron for a period of at least thirty (30) days.
- All commissions generated for accounts that may be fraudulent, including but not limited to the use of software that generates real and fictitious information.
- If we deem orders to be fraudulent or see a pattern of potentially fraudulent activity, including, without limitation, where there are multiple accounts from the same customer, or referral of accounts which do not comply with this Agreement. We review account information (including site content) to assess referrals.
- Altering Our Links in any way.
Referred Customers that have been offered or received coupons, refunds, credits or discounts from the Affiliate or for Referred Customers who have joined a business opportunity program that is managed or participated in by the Affiliate, unless Neteron has provided written permission.
Customers engaging in "Domain Speculation," which is determined by the identification of two (2) web hosting accounts with the same Referred Customer's name, email address, or other identifying characteristic as determined by Neteron and/or the identification of two (2) or more web hosting accounts that have no content on their websites or have similar content, templates or formatting, as determined by Neteron.
Affiliates whom we believe may be artificially submitting Referred Customers, engaging in the advertisement of business-opportunity sites (as determined by Neteron in its sole discretion), using marketing practices that we deem to be unethical or likely to attract fraudulent signups and/or signups with a very low likelihood of renewal.
Neteron reserves the right to immediately cancel or withhold for later review any Commission Fee based on the foregoing or that otherwise fails to meet the Criteria. It is the responsibility of the Affiliate to monitor the payment, denial and withholding of Commission Fees; Neteron is not obligated to actively notify Affiliates of the status of Commission Fees. If an Affiliate has a question about a Commission Fee that has been cancelled or withheld, that Affiliate has 30 days from the day the payment was due to contact Neteron to discuss or reclaim the Commission Fee. Any changes to decisions about cancelled or withheld Commission Fees are strictly at Neteron's discretion.
Commissions for any Referred Customer who is associated with any Neteron reseller, referral or other program may be removed from your payment. In other words, You may not receive double commissions or compensation.
In the event that the Referred Customers that are referred to Neteron by a specific Affiliate are determined to have an excessive cancellation rate (as determined by Neteron in its sole discretion), Neteron reserves the right to withhold or decline pending and future Commission Fees for the Affiliate.
Any attempt by an Affiliate to manipulate, falsify or inflate Referred Customers, Qualifying Purchases or Commission Fees to intentionally defraud Neteron or violation of any of the terms of this Agreement constitutes immediate grounds for Neteron to terminate this Agreement and will result in forfeiture of any Commission Fees due to you.
- Commission Fee Accrual and Payments
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, we will pay a Commission Fee equal to the specified percentage or euro amount set forth in the Commission Report in Your Affiliate Console on a Qualified Purchase by a Referred Customer which occurs during the month for which such Commission Fee is being calculated.
Commission Fees will be processed approximately 15 to 30 days after the end of the month in which they accrued as set forth below.
Commissions will accrue and only become payable once you (i) provide all relevant tax and address documentation pursuant to Section 8 below and (ii) reach a commission level of €50 (the "Commission Threshold") based on the commission rates stated on the Neteron website, all as applied only to Qualified Purchases which occurred within three (3) months of the end of the calendar month in which the Qualified Purchases occurred. For example, if you provide sign-ups which result in Qualified Purchases that meet the Commission Threshold on January 10th, you must provide all relevant tax and address documentation by April 30th of the same year in order for Commission Fees to accrue and become payable. All Qualified Purchases eligible to result in Commissions under this Section 6 must remain active and in good standing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in order to remain eligible for accrual. Once a Commission has accrued under this Section 6, the amount of such Commission shall be due and payable to you under the terms of Section 7. Neteron reserves the right to change the Commission Threshold by amending this Agreement and will notify you for any such amendment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
