anyone acting as Your Agent, and transactions entered into by anyone who uses the

Numbers ("ICANN"). You agree that WWD may modify this agreement
in order to comply with applicable law and the terms and conditions set forth by the
Internet ICANN and/or the Registry Administrator chosen by ICANN, as well as any

1. FEES
In consideration for the services and products ("service") purchased by You and
provided to You by WWD, You agree to pay WWD
at the time service is provided. Payment is to be made by You providing a valid credit
card for charge by WWD, and is non-refundable. If for any reason
WWD is unable to charge Your credit card with the full amount
owed WWD for the service provided, or if WWD
is charged back for any fee it previously charged to the credit card You provided,
You agree that WWD may pursue all available remedies in order
to obtain payment. You agree that among the remedies WWD may
pursue in order to effect payment, shall include but will not be limited to, immediate
cancellation without notice to You of any domain names registered or renewed on Your
behalf. WWD 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, customer service issues that cannot be handled over email but
require personal service, and disputes that require legal services. These charges will
be billed to the credit card we have on file for You.
Domain Name Renewals. When You register a domain name, You have the option to elect
that the domain name be automatically renewed upon reaching the expiration date.
If You elect the automatic renewal option, WWD will automatically
renew, for a period of one year, any domain name that is up for renewal and will
charge the credit card You have on file with WWD, at
Wild West Domains' then current rates. Domain name renewals will be non
refundable. If for any reason WWD is not able to charge the
credit card You have on file, and You fail to respond to our notices, Your domain
name registration will expire. It is Your responsibility to keep Your credit card
information current, including the expiration date. If You do not elect that the
domain name be automatically renewed, You have the responsibility of logging into
Your account manager for that domain name and manually implementing the renewal by
the expiration date (should You in fact want the domain name to be renewed).
In this case, if You fail to manually implement the renewal in a timely fashion the
domain name will be cancelled and You will no longer have use of that name.
You agree that WWD will not be responsible for cancelled domain
names that You fail to renew, either automatically or manually. In any case, if You
fail to renew Your domain name in a timely fashion, additional charges may apply.
2. TERM OF AGREEMENT; MODIFICATIONS
The term of this agreement shall continue in full force and effect as long as You have

date.
