Terms and Conditions of Stork Registry Domain Registration Services
1. INTRODUCTION. In this Service Agreement ("Agreement"),"Registrant" "you" and "your" refer to each user, customer ("Customer") and its agents, and "Registrar", "we", "us" and "our" refer to StorkRegistry.com Corp. ("Stork" or “StorkRegistry.com”). This Agreement explains our obligations to you, and your obligations to us in relation to the service(s) that you purchase and use from us. By selecting Stork service(s) you have agreed to establish an account with us for such service(s). When you use your account or permit someone else to use your account to purchase or otherwise acquire access to additional Stork service(s) or to modify or cancel your Stork service(s) (even if we were not notified of such authorization), this Agreement covers any such service or actions. Any acceptance of your application(s) for our service(s) and the performance of our service(s) will occur at our offices in 2540 Matheson Blvd E, Mississauga, ON L4W 4Z2, Canada, the location of our principal place of business. You agree that each person listed in your account information as being associated with your account for any service(s) provided to you is your agent with full authority to act on your behalf for such services in accordance with the permissions granted, including but not limited to the authorization to terminate, transfer (where permitted by this Agreement), or to modify or purchase additional service(s). You also agree that if you list, directly or by default, Stork as a contact for your account for any of the service(s), we have the right, without notice, to remove our name and/or information from any such service(s) and to replace the same with the name and/or information provided by you.
2. SECURITY. When you register a domain name or subscribe to our service(s) with us, we provide you with a password or passphrase that can be used to modify your information. It is your responsibility to safeguard your password or passphrase. You accept full responsibility for modifications made to your service(s) using this password or passphrase.
3. VARIOUS SERVICES. The terms of this Agreement are applicable to any and all of the Stork's service(s) you have chosen, including any additional services you may choose in the future which may be offered by Stork from time to time. NOTICE REGARDING BUNDLED SERVICES: If you purchase Stork services that are sold together as a “bundled” package (e.g., you select a web site package that includes both a domain name and hosting services, as opposed to your purchasing such services separately) ("Bundled Services"), termination of any part of the service will result in termination of all services provided as part of the bundled package.
4. FEES AND PAYMENT. As consideration for the services you have selected, you agree to pay Stork the applicable service(s) fees set forth on our Web site at the time of your selection. All fees are due immediately and are non-refundable. Stork may take all remedies available to collect fees owed and may recover from you all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by Stork to collect such fees. If you qualify, we may extend payment terms to you. You agree to recurring payments and a recurring billing schedule for your services. We reserve the right to change our prices and will post prices on our website.
5. TERM OF SERVICE. Unless otherwise specified, each StorkRegistry.com service is for a one-year initial term and is automatically renewed thereafter for successive one-year terms. A domain registered by you will be billed annually, until you choose to cancel the domain. Domain renewals, recovery or other services with us are subject to our then current Terms and Conditions as well as payment of all applicable service fees at the time of the recurring charge. Domain name renewals and recovery are subject to the registry's acceptance of your domain name registration.
Should you select to pay upfront for a multiple year term, each year on the anniversary of the registration StorkRegistry.com will pay on your behalf to the registry the required registry fees until the term you have purchased expires or StorkRegistry.com is no longer your registrar. Should the registry raise its fees, StorkRegistry.com will inform you and collect the difference for the term remaining.
In addition to other termination provisions contained in this Agreement, if you purchase Bundled Services, any termination relating to such bundle will terminate all Stork services included in such bundle. For instance, any domain name registered with or maintained by Stork under this Agreement will be canceled and may thereafter be available for registration by another party. Upon the effective date of termination, Stork will no longer provide the bundled services to you, any leases granted to you shall immediately terminate, and you will cease using such services immediately; provided, however, that Stork may, in its sole discretion and subject to your agreeing to be bound by the applicable agreement(s) and to pay the applicable fees for such services, allow you to convert certain services included in the bundled services to stand alone services.
6. ACCURATE INFORMATION. As further consideration for the Stork service(s), you agree to:
6.1 provide certain current, complete and accurate information about you as required;

Good Faith. By enabling the Privacy service, you agree to use the domain name and associated websites in good faith.

For communications received via certified or traceable courier mail (such as UPS or FedEx), or postal mail which does not appear to be unsolicited commercial mail, Stork will make commercially reasonable efforts to either (a) forward such communication to you or (b) attempt to communicate to you a scanned copy of a page of the communication to ascertain whether you wish to receive the full communication. You specifically acknowledge that Stork may elect to not forward to you (nor to otherwise communicate with you) regarding postal mail or email, fax, postal mail or telephone communications which appear to be unsolicited communications (e.g., communications which offer or advertise the sale of goods or services or which solicit charitable contributions). You authorize Stork to either discard all such communications or return all such communications to sender unopened. You agree to waive any and all claims arising from your failure to receive communications directed to your domain name but not forwarded to you by Stork, including failures which arise from Stork's mistake in judging whether a communication appears to be an unsolicited communication. You agree that you will reimburse Stork for any reasonable fees for administrative tasks outside the scope of regular services incurred as a result of your use of the Privacy service. These may include, but are not limited to, Customer Support issues that require personal service and disputes that require legal services. 9. In the event this Agreement or Schedule expires or terminates, Sections 4, 5, 6 and 8 of this Schedule shall survive such expiration or termination. Schedule G: Terms and Conditions Applicable to the High Security Service 1. StorkRegistry.com has introduced a "High Security" service to address issues of domain name security. The High Security service is provided to you as a courtesy and helps to prevent domains you have registered from being unintentionally transferred, deleted, or expired. Unless you inform Stork that you do not want this service, you will be automatically enrolled for StorkRegistry.com's High Security service. The High Security service includes "Registrar Lock" and "Auto-renewal", described below. StorkRegistry.com may introduce additional security features in the future. 2. Registrar Lock When High Security is enabled for a domain name, you are preventing registrars, other than StorkRegistry.com, to transfer or modify your domain name. If you choose to transfer a domain to another registrar, you must log into your account and remove the lock prior to our receipt of the transfer request from the gaining registrar. This service is being provided as a convenience to you but in no way guarantees that a domain name will not be maliciously transferred to another registrar or registrant, due to technical and policy weaknesses in the worldwide domain name system or by StorkRegistry.com's error. StorkRegistry.com will, however, use commercially reasonable efforts in stopping any such transfer without your express consent. Please note that not all registries support the concept of a Registrar Lock in which case, High Security will not include a Registrar Lock. 3. Auto-renewal 3.1 When High Security is enabled for a domain, StorkRegistry.com will attempt to renew the registration of a domain approximately 75 days prior to its expiry date. The renewal is for a one-year term and extends the existing registration period. For example, if the expiry date for your domain name is September 1, 2003, the new expiry date will be September 1, 2004. When High Security is enabled, you have authorized and consented to StorkRegistry.com to automatically charge your credit card the then-current retail price for such one-year renewal. The automatic renewal service is provided as a convenience for you but in no way guarantees a desired renewal. It is your obligation to affirmatively renew any desired domain. In addition, StorkRegistry.com has no obligation to attempt to renew your domain if your most recent credit card on file with us for your account is not accepted according to StorkRegistry.com's payment processing systems. After your domains have been successfully renewed, you will receive a confirmation email. Note: The Auto-renewal process requires a valid credit card to be kept on file in your account. You will be notified if the Auto-renewal transaction is declined for any reason. 3.2 If you do not choose to have the High Security service as part of your Subscription Service, you must contact Customer Support by logging into your StorkRegistry.com account at http://www.StorkRegistry.com and disabling the High Security feature on those domains you choose not to protect. Your failure to expressly opt out of the High Security service constitutes your authorization and consent for StorkRegistry.com to enable Registrar-Lock and Auto-renewal, and attempt to automatically charge your credit card the then-current retail price for such renewal. 3.3 You are solely responsible for the credit card and billing contact information you provide to StorkRegistry.com and you acknowledge and agree that you will promptly inform StorkRegistry.com of any changes thereto (e.g., change of expiration date or account number). 3.4 You are solely responsible for ensuring the security of your domains. StorkRegistry.com CORP. WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE HIGH SECURITY FEATURES, INCLUDING ATTEMPTED OR SUCCESSFUL TRANSFERS OF DOMAINS EVEN THOUGH THE HIGH SECURITY SERVICE IN ENABLED, OR RENEWAL OR ANY ATTEMPT TO RENEW DOMAINS AS DESCRIBED HEREIN, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY FAILURE OR ERRORS IN TRANSFERS, RENEWING OR ATTEMPTING TO RENEW THE DOMAINS. The foregoing limitation of liability is in addition to any other limitations of liability set forth in this Agreement. 3.5 You understand and agree that the release, indemnity and other obligations in favour of Stork and certain other persons in Section 14 of the Main Terms and Conditions apply to your use of the High Security feature.
