Schedule A - Terms of Service of Privacy Service

1. General

(1) The provision of PrivateName’s privacy protection services as particularized herein, is provided on the condition that the following terms and conditions are acknowledged and agreed to.

(2) The following terms and conditions shall apply to the use of the Privacy Service provided by PrivateName Services Inc. (hereinafter referred to as PrivateName), by which domain name Registrants (“Registrants”) may engage PrivateName to replace the WHOIS data of the domain name(s) registered by the Registrant with PrivateName own contact data, in compliance with the following terms of service (the “PrivateName Service” or the “Privacy Service”).

(3) The provision of the PrivateName Service is subject to and conditional upon any conditions or regulations established by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (“ICANN”) and/or any conditions or regulations established by a particular domain name registry.

(4) Registrants may be both corporate bodies and physical persons unless the specific terms and conditions of registry of certain top level domains (“TLDs”), for which a Registrant may wish to use the PrivateName Service, provide for restrictions as to the publication of WHOIS data.

(5) The PrivateName Service is solely available from registrars and/or partners who have contracted with PrivateName (hereinafter referred to as “Partner”).

2. Specification of Services

(1) In the WHOIS, partially differing personal data of various so-called contacts including, but not limited to, the Registrant, the “admin contact”, as well as the “tech contact”, are often published and/or required to be published in a globally accessible way by the registry which enables registration of such domain names. Such data may include, without limitation, the complete name, postal address, phone and fax numbers as well as e-mail addresses. By using the PrivateName Service, this data may be replaced with PrivateName's own contact data, which will then be the data publically accessible in the WHOIS. This service is available in order to lawfully protect the Registrant against any unwanted contact by third parties for an improper purpose.

(2) The PrivateName Service is available for a large number of TLDs, with the proviso that the applicable registration requirements of certain domain name registries may not allow a privacy protection service as provided by PrivateName. Therefore, PrivateName cannot and does not guarantee that the full scope of the PrivateName Service, or any privacy services, will be available for all TLDs.

(3) Third parties may make enquiries to PrivateName about PrivateName privacy Protected Domains (“Protected Domains”):

  • in case of phone enquiries about the phone number stored in the WHOIS, third parties will be informed by way of a recorded message that in order to make a contact enquiry, they are required to use the contact form provided at www.privatename.com
  • in case of e-mail enquiries about the e-mail address stored in the WHOIS, third parties will be informed by autoresponder that in order to make a contact enquiry, they are required to use the contact form provided at www.privatename.com
  • any enquiries received by PrivateName via mail at the postal address stored in the WHOIS will be processed according to Section 9
  • any contact enquiries received by PrivateName via the contact form provided at www.privatename.com will be forwarded to the Registrant according to Section 9
  • any other enquiries directly received by Partners will be processed according to Section 9(5).

3. Conclusion of Contract

(1) A Registrant can only activate the PrivateName Service for any particular domain names through one of PrivateName’s Partners. In this regard, reference is made to the restrictions set forth in Section 2(2). The PrivateName Service may either be activated directly upon registering a domain name or also subsequently for domains already registered, however in the latter case historical WHOIS information may be available from the period prior to the activation of the Privacy Service.

(2) The original contact data and any other information required from the Registrant by the Partners during the service activation process must be complete and correct. If the service is ordered by a corporate body or other business entity, the physical person authorized to represent the corporate body or other business entity must be stated in addition. Any failure to provide complete and accurate contact data may cause the Privacy Service to be terminated and/or affect the validity or termination of the domain name(s) subject to the Privacy Service.

(3) Registrants shall be solely responsible for ensuring that all persons named by them in the service activation process agree to the transmission of their data to PrivateName, and the Registrant shall agree to the terms and conditions of PrivateName’s Privacy Policy.

(4) Registrants may use the name servers provided by PrivateName subject to compliance with all other provisions herein. If Registrants wish they can use their own name servers however Registrants may thereby be identified through their name servers notwithstanding the provision of the Privacy Service.

(5) After submission of all required data by the Partner, PrivateName may review this data for completeness and accuracy however it is under no obligation to do so and shall rely upon the Registrant’s representation and warranty as to completeness and accuracy of all such submitted data. If PrivateName, in its sole unfettered discretion, considers the data to be sufficient, the requested PrivateName Service will be activated and the Registrant will be informed accordingly by e-mail to the e-mail address provided upon registration.

(6) Registrants shall be solely responsible for the maintenance of complete and accurate data transmitted according to Section 3(5). Registrants shall be required to keep the domain registration data (including contact data) up-to-date and correct. Should any of the data submitted change while a particular domain name is using the Privacy Service, Registrants shall immediately rectify any such out-of-date or incorrect data, either themselves or through the Partner that they used for ordering the PrivateName Services. In case of Protected Domains, this will not involve any change in the WHOIS data provided as part of the Privacy Service.

(7) PrivateName reserves the right to conduct audits of the data provided by Registrants at any time at its sole unfettered discretion, to ensure accuracy and completeness.

4. Registrant’s Obligations

(1) By ordering PrivateName Services for specific domains, Registrants expressly warrant that the domain(s) concerned do not and shall not infringe upon any third parties’ rights nor does the registration and/or use of any such domain names constitute a breach or violation of any international, national or local laws, regulations, rules, policies, or the Terms of Service.
