Domain Name Registrations

Note: The pairNIC.com Service Agreement can be found here -- https://www.pairnic.com/serviceagree.m

Domain name registrations that point to nameservers operated by pair Networks are subject to the following conditions:

• The nameservers for all such domain names must be selected and approved by pair Networks, including all secondaries. Secondary nameservice is not shared with a third party except by special pre-arrangement.
• The use of any particular secondary nameserver by pair Networks does not imply any official affiliation with the organization responsible for that nameserver.
• pair Networks reserves the right to change nameservers when necessary, although this is very rarely necessary.
• pair Networks makes no attempt to exercise control over its customers' domain names, and will not make modifications to customer domain name information at any registrar (excepting pairNIC).
• All domain names registered to our nameservers must appear in our customer records, and must be used for either "virtual hosting" or "parked" (sharing an existing virtual host). Hosting charges for these services must be paid.
• Any domain name registered anew or transferred to our nameservers must be attached to a new or existing account within 30 days of such registration or transfer. Domain names not attached may be subject to a $50 Lame Delegation Fee. Abusive or repeated lame delegations may result in action with the registrar, or other actions as we deem necessary.
• Registering any domain name without the intent of paying the appropriate registrar fee is expressly prohibited.
• The use of any domain name that is considered offensive, defamatory, libelous or violative of any local, state, federal or international law including any violation of intellectual property, copyright, trademark, trade secret, misappropriation and anti-dilution laws is strictly prohibited. It is the sole responsibility of the domain name owner to take all steps necessary to ensure that the domain name selected is not violative of any law or any other party's rights.
• You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless pair Networks from any and all liability, penalties, losses, damages, costs, expenses, attorneys' fees, causes of action or claims caused by or resulting from your registration, acquisition or use of a domain name which damages either you, pair Networks or any other party or parties, without limitation or exception.
• pair Networks reserves the right to arbitrarily and without prior notice withdraw the usage of any domain name ending in .pair.com if, in its sole discretion, the content or presentation of the site is detrimental to or inappropriate for pair Networks. Examples include, but are not limited to, any site that attempts to represent itself as an official pair Networks site, sites promoting adult material, sites promoting questionable business opportunities, and so forth.

More Information

An important point of this policy is to prevent lame delegations. A domain name has a lame delegation if the nameservers it points to are not answering for that domain name. The most common cause of this is a customer registering a domain name without notifying us. The result is an administrative and technical headache for us; thus the fee.
