Domains

Domain Registration

These terms and conditions relate to all completed registrations for Top Level Domains (TLDs).

    1. The domain name that is applied for will normally be allotted to the Applicant immediately the respective domain name has been approved and payment has been made subject to 'Obligation of the Applicant' (See below).

    2. The chosen domain name will become the sole possession of the Applicant only after full payment of the registration fee.

    3. Acceptance and payment of the annual fee constitutes a contract for 12 months.

    4. Applicants will be invoiced by email and payment will be taken by credit or debit card online at the time of registration. Payment can be made by cheque but this may add considerably to the delay in confirmation of the domain name.

    5. The Applicant and/or Client understands and agrees that all fees applicable to the domain name registration and renewal are non-refundable. The Applicant and/or Client having the legal status of Consumer pursuant to the European Directive on Distance Selling (Directive 97/7/EC) or the EC (Protection of Consumers in respect of Contracts made by means of a Distance Communication) Regulations 2001 as amended are expressly informed and agree that any domain name are customised goods, pursuant to Section 6.4.c of European Directive on Distance Selling (Directive 97/7/EC) and the EC (Protection of Consumers in respect of Contracts made by means of a Distance Communication) Regulations 2001, therefore the domain name registration or renewal is not subject to the statutory right of withdrawal as provided for under the European Directive on Distance Selling (Directive 97/7/EC) or the EC (Protection of Consumers in respect of Contracts made by means of a Distance Communication) Regulations 2001 as amended.

    6. JitOps reserves the right to refuse registration.

Domain Renewals

    1. Payment for the annual renewal of the domain name is necessary before the renewal date in order for the domain not to expire. The Applicant will be invoiced by email 30 days before the domain is due to expire and reminded again by email 7 days before the domain is to expire.

    2. The Applicant's credit or debit card details are securely stored at the time of registration and the annual renewal payment will be automatically taken from the Applicant's card three (3) days before the domain renewal date. Should the card payment fail further attempts will be made every seven (7) days until the domain expires (30 days from renewal date). The Applicant may cancel automatic renewal by logging into the account and deactivating automatic payment (not recommended as JitOps cannot guarantee domain renewal). The customer is still liable for payment in order to maintain domain registration.

    3. The Terms and Conditions in force at the time of renewal will then apply.

    4. Failure to pay renewal fee before the expiry date will result in the domain being suspended.

    5. Additional charges (Redemption Fees) of up to €75.00 may apply to renew a domain name that has expired. Such fees are applied by country specific domain registration bodies.

 

Ownership of Domain Names

    1. JitOps will only act as an agent for the purchase of domain names.

    2. All domain names requested by the Applicant will remain the property of JitOps until the first annual fee payment has been made in full.

    3. The renewal of domain names requires payment of the renewal fee by the applicant to ensure continuation of service for email and hosted web sites.

    4. In the event of non-payment, JitOps reserve the right to dispose of the domain name and claim for payment from the defaulting applicant by normal commercial and legal means after a period of 60 days has elapsed from renewal date.

 

Obligations of the Applicant

    1. You the Applicant assumes sole responsibility for the registration and use of your domain name.

    2. You the Applicant must provide accurate information for publication in directories such as WHOIS, and promptly update this to reflect any changes.

    3. The selected domain name must not be used in breach of trademark, copyright or other intellectual property rights of third parties.

    4. There must be no attempt to pass-off as another company by means of the domain name. If litigation were to ensue as a result of any legal challenge, the Applicant agrees to indemnify JitOps and warrant them as an innocent party to any passing-off or similar intellectual property challenge.

    5. The selected domain name must not be used for any illegal purpose, or for any purpose likely to bring the name of JitOps into disrepute

    6. The Applicant must not grant domain names to any sub-domain users without the expressed permission, in writing, by JitOps.

    7. Applicants are responsible for their own security so far as any password or security codes are concerned. Where JitOps acts on instructions received under password that relate in any way to this contract, no liability will be accepted arising from the use by JitOps of this or any other password.

    8. If the Applicant requires ID protection then this must be selected at the time of purchasing the domain in order to ensure full ID protection. The Applicant can select ID protection after purchasing their domain by accessing their client area, however personal information will be available on the Whois up until the time of selecting the ID protection and the Whois database has been updated.

    9. ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Domain Names and Numbers) is responsible for the managing and coordinating of the domain name system (DNS) to ensure that every address is unique and that all users on the Internet can find all valid addresses.

Premium Domains

While every effort is made to secure premium domain names there are situations where some registries do not publish the premium domain pricing. The pricing only becomes available once an application is made. JitOps Cloud does not accept any liability where a premium domain registration order has been accepted in good faith at the standard price and then the registry post application confirms that the domain is in fact a premium domain. JitOps will only process the domain application once the premium domain fee has been paid. Every effort will be made by JitOps Cloud to inform the Applicant of the premium pricing in a timely manner and give the option for the applicant to pay the premium fee. In the event that the Applicant does not pay the premium domain fee or no longer requires the premium domain a full refund will be given for the standard domain fee if this has been paid by the Applicant.

Backups

JitOps Cloud offers additional hosting backup products such as CDP (Continuous Data Protection) and Automatic Website Backup (shared hosting only) software. Such products will on a scheduled basis take backups of your website data, such backups on their own are no guarantee of a successful restore, a successful restore is still dependent upon a number of factors and so we can’t guarantee the availability, usability or integrity of either the backup or restore.
