Trade Conditions

Secura GmbH is called in the following "registrar". Every individual or company, which is registering a domain name at Secura GmbH, is called "Registered Name Holder". Registrar and Registered Name Holder are concluding this contract.

The contract between Secura GmbH and consumers or resellers about domains and other services is always for defined periods. The first regular contract period is of one,two or several years. It is afterwards automatically prolonged year by year. Consumers or resellers must cancel the contract concerning domains or other services 6 weeks before the end of the contract. Registered Name Holder will receive an invoice for renewal of the contract after the end of the last period. If Registered Name Holder will have not paid this invoice after notices, the domain will be deleted according to ICANN Policies.

ICANN accredited Registrars send notices about the status of domains going to expire according to the new ICANN Policy. Customers of Secura get these notices by e-mails to the Registered Name Holder.

The prices of Domains, authorized by ICANN, are different. The exact prices are published at the special websites for the single domains. The renewal fee is the same as the registration fee. There is no higher renewal fee for late renewals. But there is an additional restore fee for the restore of a deleted domain of 90 US-Dollars for the costs of the restore and the writing of the obligatory restore report.

Registered Name Holder can demand within 30 days after deletion the restore of the domain. The restore fee is 90 US-Dollars/domain. The restore fee is different from the domain renewal fee. It must be paid together with the due domain renewal fee in advance.

If you pay by credit card, your credit card may be billed immediately after purchase.

The Registered Name Holder is not entitled to change registrar within the first 60 days after registration or a domain transfer . The changement of registrar during the contract period does not result in a re-payment of registration fee, even not partially.

The Registered Name Holder shall provide to Registrar accurate and reliable contact details and correct and update them within seven (7) days of any change during the term of the Registered Name registration, including: the full name, postal address, e-mail address, voice telephone number, and fax number if available of the Registered Name Holder; name of authorized person for contact purposes in the case of an Registered Name Holder that is an organization, association, or corporation. The Registered Name Holder shall also provide the names of the primary name server and secondary name server, if the domain shall not use the name servers of Secura GmbH. The Registered Name Holder shall also provide the name, postal address, e-mail adress, voice telephone number and fax number of the technical contact for the Registered Name, if Secura shall not be the Technical contact. The Registered Name Holder shall also provide the name, postal address, e-mail adress, voice telephone number and (where available) fax number of the administrative contact for the Registered Name.

A Registered Name Holder's willful provision of inaccurate or unreliable information, its willful failure to update information provided to Registrar within seven (7) days of any change, or its failure to respond for over fifteen (15) days to inquiries by Registrar concerning the accuracy of contact details associated with the Registered Name Holder's registration shall constitute a material breach of the Registered Name Holder-registrar contract and be a basis for suspension and/or cancellation of the Registered Name registration.

Any Registered Name Holder that intends to license use of a domain name to a third party is nonetheless the Registered Name Holder 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 Registered Name Holder 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 discloses the current contact information provided by the licensee and the identity of the licensee within seven (7) days to a party providing the Registered Name Holder reasonable evidence of actionable harm.

The Registered Name Holder, which supplies Personal data of any third-party individuals (or companies) to the Registrar, is obliged to inform this third-party individual (or company) about the rules of data publishing and processing, which are described in these trade conditions. The Registered Name Holder assures, that he has got the consent of the third party to the Data Processing described in these trade conditions.

Data are only collected for the technical and administrative registration process. Registrar will not sell any data, which is collected during registration. The registered domain name, the IP-addresses of the provider, the names of the first and second name servers, and all contact informations of the administrative contact, billing contact or technical contact will be published in the Whois database, which is accessible worldwide by the public. The only purpose of this publication is the protection of consumer`s rights, by prevention the owners of websites to stay anonym.

Officers of Registrar and Registries like VeriSign, Inc. Global Registries, Neulevel Inc. or Afilias Ltd. and ICANN may have access to the collected data. This is necessary for the technical and administrative registration process or for the administration of the www as a whole.

The Registered Name Holder can rectify the data by sending a signed letter, fax or e-mail (with signed PDF-, TIF- or JPG-File) to the Registrar. A unsigned e-mail is not sufficient to correct data in the WHOIS, except the e-mail is sent as immediate reply to Secura's email with the WDRP Notice (notice about Whois Data Rectification). The Registered Name Holder consents to the Data Processing described in these trade conditions.

Registrar will not process the Personal Data collected from the Registered Name Holder in a way incompatible with the purposes and other limitations about which are explained in these trade conditions.

Registrar takes reasonable precautions to protect Personal Data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

The Registered Name Holder assures to the best of the Registered Name Holder's knowledge and belief, neither the registration of the SLD name nor the manner in which it is directly or indirectly used infringes the legal rights of a third party.
