EXPIRATION POLICY
To ensure customers are aware of pending expirations of their domain names, EnCirca sends both paper notices and email notices to its customers.
EnCirca will also attempt to contact customers if paper or email notices are returned as undeliverable due to inaccurate customer information.
Upon a domain reaching its expiration date without a renewal, the domain name registration is deemed terminated.
- Transfer to another registrar is not permitted following the expiration date.
- Upon expiration, EnCirca will provide a ten day grace period for customers wishing to renew.
- Three days after the expiration date, the nameservers for the domain will be changed. This will disrupt any website or email addresses associated with the domain. Customers noticing this change and wishing to renew will have another seven days to renew their domain.
- Ten days after the expiration date, the domain will be removed from the customer's account and their contact information removed from the Whois contacts. Customers will receive email notification of this account move.
- EnCirca may elect to delete the domain, auction or transfer ownership of the domain to a third party at any time following ten days after the expiration date. If EnCirca elects to delete the domain name, this will occur between ten and forty days following the expiration date.
- If a name is deleted, then the customer of record, as of the expiration date, is permitted to recover the domain name by paying EnCirca a Restore fee within forty-five following the date of deletion.

top

3. UP TO DATE INFORMATION; USE OF INFORMATION
[
top
]
You agree to notify EnCirca within thirty (30) business days when any of the information you provided as part of the application and/or registration process changes. It is your responsibility to keep this information in a current and accurate status. Failure by you, for whatever reason, to provide EnCirca with accurate and reliable information on an initial and continual basis, shall be considered to be a material breach of this agreement. Failure by you, for whatever reason, to respond within thirty (30) business days to any inquiries made by EnCirca to determine the validity of information provided by you, shall also be considered to be a material breach of this agreement.
You agree that for each domain name registered by you the following information will be made publicly available in the Whois directory as determined by ICANN or Registry Policy and may be sold in bulk as set forth in the applicable ICANN or Registry agreements:
- The domain name
- Your name and postal address
- The email address, postal address, voice and fax numbers for technical and administrative contacts
- The Internet protocol numbers for the primary and secondary name servers
- The corresponding names of the name servers
- The original date of registration and expiration date
You agree that, to the extent permitted by ICANN and/or the applicable Registry, EnCirca may make use of the publicly available information you provided during the registration process.
If you engage in the reselling of domain names you agree to provide any individuals whose personal information you've obtained, information about the possible uses of their personal information pursuant to ICANN and/or the applicable Registry policy. You also agree to obtain consent, and evidence of consent, from those individuals for such use of the personal information they provide.
Any Registrant that intends to license use of a domain name to a third party is nonetheless the Registrant of record and is responsible for providing its own 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 Registrant licensing use of a Registered name according to this provision shall accept liability for harm caused by wrongful use of the Registered Name, unless it
promptly discloses the identity of the licensee to a party providing the Registrant reasonable evidence of actionable harm.
Enforcement of Accurate Whois Data
- EnCirca shall accept written complaints from third parties regarding false and/or inaccurate Whois data of Registrants
- No later than thirty (30) days after receipt of a written complaint, EnCirca shall conduct an initial investigation
into the veracity and accuracy of the contact details. If EnCirca determines that the information is false, inaccurate or
not up to date, EnCirca shall issue a letter to the Registrant via e-mail and regular first-class mail, stating that the
information contained in the Registrant's Whois record may be false, inaccurate or not up to date.
- The Registrant shall be required to update its contact information no later than thirty (30) calendar days from the
date of such notice. If, within thirty (30) days, Registrant can either (i) show that it has not provided false or inaccurate
contact information or (ii) provide the updated Whois information, then the registrant will be allowed to maintain the domain name
registration. If, however, after thirty (30) days, the registrant either does not respond to Registrar's notice or is unable to
provide true and accurate contact information, the registrant shall be deemed to have breached its registration agreement and the
registrar shall be required to delete the registration.
- EnCirca shall not be required to refund any fees paid by the Registrant if EnCirca terminates a Registrant's registration
agreement due to its enforcement of this provision.
- A Registrant may request to Recover a domain deleted due to inaccurate Whois data, provided it is still in the "Pending Delete" status. When a registrar restores a name (from the redemption grace period) that had been deleted on the basis of submission of false contact data or non-response to registrar inquiries, the name must be placed on Registrar Hold status until the registrant has provided updated and accurate Whois information.
4. DISPUTE RESOLUTION POLICY

- EnCirca and You undertake to respond in writing to requests by Verisign and/or the Admin-C immediately within time limits set by Verisign and/or the Admin-C. Unless a different response deadline is requested in writing by Verisign and/or the Admin-C, EnCirca and You agree to respond in writing to such requests within forty eight (48) hours. Correspondence sent to EnCirca or You shall be regarded as delivered. Verisign or the Admin-C may, at its own discretion, request a security for its expenses which may occur in case a third party alleges that the use of the domain name is an infringement of laws.

THIS LIMITATION APPLIES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER BASIS, EVEN IF VERISIGN HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR SUCH DAMAGES WERE REASONABLY FORESEEABLE. BECAUSE CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS DO NOT PERMIT THE LIMITATION OR ELIMINATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, VERSIGN'S LIABILITY IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
- EnCirca and You agree to release, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Verisign, its parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, shareholders, agents, directors, officers and employees and the individual designated as Admin-C for the DENIC domain(s), from and against any and all claims (including, but not limited to, claims of trademark infringement or cybersquatting), demands, liabilities, losses, damages or costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related in any way to, the Local Presence Services, the DEMINC domain(s), and/or Your use of the DEMIN domain(s).
