Customer expressly grants to Company a license to cache the entirety of the Customer Content and Customer’s web site, including content supplied by third parties, hosted by Company under this Agreement and agrees that such caching is not an infringement of any of Customer’s intellectual property rights or any third party’s intellectual property rights.
Resource Usage. Company agrees to provide resources necessary to run actively scripted websites on our stated software stack, providing CPU time, bandwidth and disk space that fits the profile of the average website running our systems.
CPU, RAM, and Disk I/O – Company’s shared systems allow for significant bursts in activity, but resources must be shared among all clients.
Computationally intensive or long running scripts are not permitted; generally speaking scripts should complete execution in 1-2 seconds at most. Database queries must also complete quickly, and databases should not be larger than is appropriate in a shared environment. No script or database queries should perform excessive disk reads/writes or maintain I/O patterns that cause performance issues for other sites.
While PYY GO LIVE WEB SOLUTIONS LTD offers different package levels that have different levels of access to shared resources the automated management of this is done on a best effort basis only and is not a guarantee of a particular performance level.
The Customer should promptly act on any notice received from PYY GO LIVE WEB SOLUTIONS LTD regarding resource usage. Any notice received should not be considered indicative that PYY GO LIVE WEB SOLUTIONS LTD will manage any site’s traffic, code, or databases – the Customer must take responsibility for optimizing their sites and databases for the traffic they receive before they affect other users.
PYY GO LIVE WEB SOLUTIONS LTD utilizes several methods, automated and with human intervention, to monitor and control resource usage and reserves the right to limit access to those resources at any time, up to and including, suspending any site whose resource utilization exceeds normal levels, regardless of whether or not it is impacting performance at that time and regardless of package levels purchased.
Unlimited Diskspace – Company will attempt to provide the disk space needed to power its customer’s websites as far as is commercially reasonable. There is no arbitrary limit on the amount of data stored on an account, however the delivery of capacity is determined by availability, commercial viability, and the affect on the shared platform as a whole. As a general guide, 75,000 files/inodes may be asked to reduce the size of their account. Accounts exceeding 10GB/75,000 inodes/files will be excluded from our backup system without notice.
Bandwidth Usage – Company will attempt to provide sufficient bandwidth for its customer’s sites as far as is commercially viable. Excessive bandwidth usage from national media traffic or DOS attacks may result in the account being disabled without warning. Company’s bandwidth is meant for delivering websites to end-users – high-bandwidth transfers between other servers is not permitted. The use of PYY GO LIVE WEB SOLUTIONS LTD’s services solely for media streaming is not permitted.
IMAP and mail storage – Company provides IMAP mail services to its customers, however we do not directly monitor size. Customers are responsible for making sure their inboxes do not reach unreasonable sizes and that the number of messages stored on their accounts does not exceed 10,000 messages or 2GB in size.
Account Backups. Company encourages all customers to periodically perform their own backups. For a fee, Company will perform regular automated data backups on accounts equal to or less than 10 gigabytes in total size. Accounts exceeding 10 gigabytes will not be backed up. These backups are intended for disaster recovery purposes only, and are not intended for regular customer use.
While Company maintains the previously stated backups, this service is provided as a convenience only and Company assumes no liability as to the availability or completeness of client data backups. Each client is expected and encouraged to maintain backup copies of their own data. Data restores may be provided but are subject to additional service fees of up to $50.00/restoration.
Upon Cancellation or Suspension for nonpayment, all data is purged from the server.
Property Rights
Company hereby grants to Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license, exercisable solely during the term of this Agreement, to use Company technology, products and services solely for the purpose of accessing and using the Services. Customer may not use Company’s technology for any purpose other than accessing and using the Services. Except for the rights expressly granted above, this Agreement does not transfer from Company to Customer any Company technology, and all rights, titles and interests in and to any Company technology shall remain solely with Company. Customer shall not, directly or indirectly, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive source code or other trade secrets from any of the Company.
Company owns all right, title and interest in and to the Services and Company’s trade names, trademarks, service marks, inventions, copyrights, trade secrets, patents, know-how and other intellectual property rights relating to the design, function, marketing, promotion, sale and provision of the Services and the related hardware, software and systems (“Marks”).

Arbitration Agreement And Class Action Waiver
Purpose. This Arbitration Agreement facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any disputes that may arise between you and PYY GO LIVE WEB SOLUTIONS LTD. Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution in which parties to a contract agree to submit their disputes and potential disputes to a neutral third person (called an arbitrator) for a binding decision, instead of having such dispute(s) decided in a lawsuit, in court, by a judge or jury trial.
Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully. It provides that all disputes between you (sometimes referred to as “Customer”) and PYY GO LIVE WEB SOLUTIONS LTD (sometimes referred to as “Company”) shall be resolved by binding arbitration.
Arbitration replaces the right to go to court. In the absence of this Arbitration Agreement, you may otherwise have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). Entering into this Arbitration Agreement constitutes a waiver of your right to litigate claims in court and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow this Arbitration Agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees, if otherwise authorized by applicable law).
For the purpose of this Arbitration Agreement, “PYY GO LIVE WEB SOLUTIONS LTD” means PYY GO LIVE WEB SOLUTIONS LTD, Inc. and its parents, subsidiaries, and affiliated companies, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents. The term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and PYY GO LIVE WEB SOLUTIONS LTD regarding any aspect of your relationship with PYY GO LIVE WEB SOLUTIONS LTD, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence, gross negligence or reckless behavior), or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Arbitration Agreement (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below). “Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced.
WE EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.
Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. For all Disputes you must first give PYY GO LIVE WEB SOLUTIONS LTD an opportunity to resolve the Dispute. You must commence this process by mailing written notification to 360 N. Pacific Coast Highway, Suite 1055, El Segundo, CA 90245. That written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of the Dispute, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek. If PYY GO LIVE WEB SOLUTIONS LTD does not resolve the Dispute to your satisfaction within 45 days after it receives your written notification, you may pursue your Dispute in arbitration.
Arbitration Procedures. If this Arbitration Agreement applies and the Dispute is not resolved as provided above (“Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution”) either you or PYY GO LIVE WEB SOLUTIONS LTD may initiate arbitration proceedings. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com, will arbitrate all Disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration, and shall in no event be commenced as a representative or class arbitration. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Arbitration Agreement.
For arbitration before the AAA, for Disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules For Emergency Measures Of Protection shall apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols For Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. This Arbitration Agreement governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules. Under no circumstances will class action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.
Because your contract with PYY GO LIVE WEB SOLUTIONS LTD, the Terms of Service, and this this Arbitration Agreement concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all Disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.
Arbitration Award. The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator shall make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Such award by the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.
Location of Arbitration. You may initiate arbitration in either Los Angeles, CA, or in the federal judicial district that includes your address that you provide in your written notification of Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. In the event that PYY GO LIVE WEB SOLUTIONS LTD initiates an arbitration, it may only do so in the federal judicial district that includes your address that you provide in your written notification of Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution.
Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs. Whichever party initiates arbitration shall pay all arbitration filing fees and arbitrator’s costs and expenses. Thereafter, each party shall be responsible for their respective fees, costs and expenses incurred in the arbitration, as determined by the arbitrator, including, but not limited to, their own attorneys or expert witnesses. Fees and costs may be awarded as provided pursuant to applicable law. In addition to any rights to recover fees and costs under applicable law, if you provide notice and negotiate in good faith with PYY GO LIVE WEB SOLUTIONS LTD as provided in the section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover from PYY GO LIVE WEB SOLUTIONS LTD your actual and reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.
Class Action Waiver. The parties agree that the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, representative action, consolidated action or private attorney general action) unless both you and PYY GO LIVE WEB SOLUTIONS LTD specifically agree in writing to do so following initiation of the arbitration. Neither you, nor any other Member of PYY GO LIVE WEB SOLUTIONS LTD and/or user of PYY GO LIVE WEB SOLUTIONS LTD services, can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, representative, consolidated or private attorney general proceeding.
Limitation of Procedural Rights. You understand and agree that, by entering into this Arbitration Agreement, you and PYY GO LIVE WEB SOLUTIONS LTD are each agreeing to arbitration instead of the right to a trial before a judge or jury in a public court. In the absence of this Arbitration Agreement, you and PYY GO LIVE WEB SOLUTIONS LTD might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring Disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). You give up those rights. Other rights that you would have if you went to court, such as the right to appeal and to certain types of discovery, may be more limited in arbitration. The right to appellate review of an arbitrator’s decision is much more limited than in court, and in general an arbitrator’s decision may not be appealed for errors of fact or law.
Severability. If any clause within this Arbitration Agreement (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Arbitration Agreement, and the remainder of this Arbitration Agreement will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then this entire Arbitration Agreement will be unenforceable, and the Dispute will be decided by a court.
Continuation. This Arbitration Agreement shall survive the termination of your contract with PYY GO LIVE WEB SOLUTIONS LTD and your use of PYY GO LIVE WEB SOLUTIONS LTD services.

MASTER DOMAIN REGISTRATION AGREEMENT
THIS REGISTRATION AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), is between Tucows Domains Inc. (“Tucows”) and you, on behalf of yourself or the entity you represent (“Registrant”), as offered through the Reseller participating in Tucows’ distribution channel for domain name registrations. Any reference to “Registry” or “Registry Operator” shall refer to the registry administrator of the applicable top-level domain (“TLD”). This Agreement explains Tucows’ obligations to Registrant, and Registrant’s obligations to Tucows, for the domain registration services. By agreeing to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Registrant agrees to be bound by the rules and regulations set forth in this Agreement, and by a registry for that particular TLD.
DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION. Domain name registrations are for a limited term, which ends on the expiration date communicated to the Registrant. A domain name submitted through Tucows will be deemed active when the relevant registry accepts the Registrant’s application and activates Registrant’s domain name registration or renewal. Tucows cannot guarantee that Registrant will obtain a desired domain name, even if an inquiry indicates that a domain name is available at the time of application. Tucows is not responsible for any inaccuracies or errors in the domain name registration or renewal process.
FEES. Registrant agrees to pay Reseller the applicable service fees prior to the registration or renewal of a domain. All fees payable here under are non-refundable even if Registrant’s domain name registration is suspended, cancelled or transferred prior to the end of your current registration term.
TERM. This Agreement will remain in effect during the term of the domain name registration as selected, recorded and paid for at the time of registration or renewal. Should the domain name be transferred to another registrar, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall cease.
EXPIRATION, RENEWAL AND FORFEITURE
The registered domain name will expire on the expiration date specified in the registration term, and as communicated to the Registrant. Registrant will receive reminders immediately prior to the expiration inviting Registrant to renew the domain name. In the event that Registrant fails to renew the domain name in a timely fashion, the registration will expire and Tucows may, at its discretion, elect to assume the registration and may hold it in its own account, delete it, or sell it to a third party. During the period following the expiration of a domain name, the domain name will cease to resolve, the Whois registration records may be revised to include that of Tucows or its reseller, and visitors to Registrant’s website may be directed to a default web page. This default web page may feature advertisements posted by Tucows for its own account. Registrant acknowledges and agrees that Registrant’s right and interest in a domain name ceases upon its expiration. Registrant is solely responsible for informing itself of the date of expiration and renewing its registration in a timely manner. If Tucows, in its sole discretion, elects to renew the registration, Registrant will be entitled to a grace period of forty (40) days during which Registrant may re-register the domain name. Additional costs for the redemption and re-registration will apply.
EXPIRED REGISTRATION RECOVERY POLICY. Domain expiration notices will be sent via email thirty (30) days and five (5) days prior to a domain expiration date and three (3) days after a domain expires. Renewal, post- expiration renewal and redemptions fees are published at https://opensrs.com/services/domains/domain-pricing/. Reseller’s fees may differ.
REGISTRANT INFORMATION AND DATA SHARING
Data required for the registration of a domain name varies by top-level domain. The required data for a domain name registration (“Minimum Data”) will be presented at the time of registration or renewal and may include up to:
Name and postal address of the Registered Name Holder;
Registered name;
Names of the primary nameserver and secondary nameserver(s) for the Registered Name;
Name, postal address, e-mail address, and voice and fax (if available) telephone numbers of the administrative contact for the domain name;
Name, postal address, e-mail address, and voice and fax (if available) telephone numbers of the billing contact for the domain name; and
Name, postal address, e-mail address, and voice and fax (if available) telephone numbers of the technical contact for the domain name.
The Minimum Data will be shared with Tucows and may be shared with the relevant authoritative registry services provider for your top-level domain. The identity of the authoritative registry services provider can be found at https://www.iana.org/whois. The Minimum Data for domains in any TLD you have registered can be found in the Data Use Information Page.
ACCURATE INFORMATION
Registrant represents and warrants that:
The statements that Registrant makes in connection with the domain name registration, maintenance, or renewal are complete and accurate;
Registrant information will be kept current;
Registrant will not and will not permit others to use the domain name in violation of any ICANN or registry policies, applicable laws or regulations, or legal rights of others.
Registrant will respond to inquiries from Tucows addressed to the email address of the Registrant, the administrative, billing or technical contact with respect to a domain name concerning the accuracy of contact details.
Registrant acknowledges that a breach of this Section 8 will constitute a material breach of the Agreement, which will entitle either Tucows or a registry to terminate this Agreement immediately upon such breach without any refund and without notice to Registrant.
ACCOUNT REVIEW, DATA MODIFICATION OR DELETION
To access, view, update, delete or download data associated with your domain name registration, you must be signed into your account. If you make a request to delete your personal data and that data is necessary for the products or services you have purchased, the request will be honored only to the extent it is no longer necessary for any services purchased or required for our legitimate business purposes or legal or contractual record keeping requirements. In some cases, when data is necessary for the provisioning of service, deletion of data may cancel or suspend the services you have purchased. If you have difficulty accessing your data, modifying it, or deleting it, you may request assistance by sending email to DPO @ Tucows.com or using the contact information at https://opensrs.com/privacy-policy/.
ICANN-REQUIRED DISCLOSURES
Domain name registration requires sharing the Registrant’s information, in whole or in part, with the applicable Registry Operator and with ICANN. Both Tucows and the Registry Operator may be required to archive this information with a third-party escrow service. Further, Registrant represents and warrants that, if Registrant is providing information about a third party, Registrant has notified the third party of the required disclosures and the purpose for the disclosures and Registrant has obtained the third party’s consent to such disclosure. ICANN may establish or modify the guidelines, limits or requirements that relate to the amount and type of information that Tucows may or must make available to the public or to private entities, and the manner in which such information is made available.
SUSPENSION AND CANCELLATION
Tucows may in its sole discretion, suspend or cancel Registrant’s domain name registration:
if Registrant breaches this Agreement;

as required by ICANN or a Registry Operator;
to protect the integrity and stability of Tucows and any applicable registry;

ICANN may change the UDRP at any time. If a third party challenges the registration or reservation of the Registrant’s domain name, Registrant will be subject to the provisions specified in the dispute policy adopted by the applicable registry. In the event a domain name dispute arises, Registrant will indemnify and hold Tucows harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the applicable policy. If Tucows is notified that a complaint has been filed with a judicial or administrative body regarding a domain name, Tucows may, at its sole discretion, suspend use of the domain name and the ability to make modifications to the registration records until:
Tucows is directed to do so by the judicial or administrative body, or
Tucows receives notification from both parties that the dispute has been settled.
If Registrant or Registrant’s domain name becomes the subject of litigation, Tucows may deposit control of Registrant’s domain name record into the registry of the judicial body by supplying a party with a registrar certificate.
WHOIS PRIVACY SERVICE
If Registrant elects to use the Whois privacy registration service, the following terms and conditions will apply:
The publicly available Registrant contact information will list Contact Privacy Inc. Customer #### (where #### is a unique customer identification number) as the Registrant and contact name, and Tucows’ postal address, assigned email address and telephone number as contact information.
Tucows will keep the Registrant and Contact Information provided by Registrant on file. Both Tucows and the Registry may be required to archive this information with a third-party escrow service, as per ICANN policy.
Registrant will retain complete control over the domain name and its registration records and may suspend and reinstate the Whois Privacy Service at its discretion.
With respect to a domain name that has been transferred to Tucows, the Whois Privacy Service will only commence after the transfer has been completed. If Registrant elects to transfer a domain name to a different registrar, the Whois Privacy Service must be disabled in order to initiate the transfer.
Tucows will send all obligatory renewal and transfer related messages to the contacts that Registrant has designated.
Pricing for the Whois privacy registration service will be set by the Reseller, and Registrant will pay Reseller for this service.

to avoid financial loss or legal liability;
if Tucows believes that Registrant or one of Registrant’s contacts is using the Whois Privacy Service to conceal involvement with illegal, illicit, objectionable or harmful activities; or to transmit SPAM, viruses, worms or other harmful computer programs.
POLICY. Registrant agrees that its registration of the domain name shall be subject to suspension, cancellation, or transfer pursuant to a Tucows, registry, ICANN or government-adopted policy, or pursuant to any registrar or registry procedure not inconsistent with a Tucows, registry, ICANN or government-adopted policy,

TRADEMARK CLEARINGHOUSE (TMCH)
Registrant agrees to abide by the terms and conditions set forth by Tucows and the Trademark Clearinghouse Agreement available at http://opensrs.com/site/resources/agreements#contracts.
NO GUARANTEE. Registrant acknowledges that registration of a chosen domain name does not confer immunity from objection to the registration, reservation or use of the domain name.
AGENCY
If Registrant intends to license use of a domain name to a third party, Registrant is deemed the domain name holder of record and is responsible for providing Registrant’s own full contact information adequate to facilitate timely resolution of any problems that arise in connection with the domain name. Registrant shall accept liability for harm caused by wrongful use of the domain name, unless it promptly discloses the licensee’s identity and current contact information (as provided by the licensee) to a party providing the Registered Name Holder reasonable evidence of actionable harm. Registrant represents that it will secure the agreement of any third party to the terms and conditions in this Agreement.
MODIFICATIONS TO AGREEMENT

Registrant explicitly authorizes Tucows to act as their Designated Agent, as stipulated by the ICANN Transfer Policy, to approve a Change of Registrant on their behalf.
BREACH. Registrant agrees that failure to abide by any provision of this Agreement, any ICANN, Registry, URDP or Dispute operating rule or policy, may be considered by Tucows to be a material breach, and that Tucows may provide written notice, describing the breach, to Registrant. If within fifteen (15) calendar days of the date of such notice, Registrant fails to provide evidence, which is reasonably satisfactory to Tucows, that Registrant has not breached its obligations under the Agreement, then Tucows may delete the registration the domain name.

Non-profit making/non-profit-focused entities. While many NGOs engage in commercial activities or generate revenue in support of their missions, members of the .ngo|.ong community do not recognize profits or retain earnings.
Limited government influence. Recognizing that many NGOs have important interactions with government, not least for reasons of funding (which may include receipt of some government funding in support of their programs), members of the .ngo|.ong community decide their own policies, direct their own activities and are independent of direct government or political control.
Independent actors. Members of the .ngo|.ong community should not be political parties nor should be a part of any government. Participation in the work of a NGO or ONG is voluntary.
Active organisations. Members of the .ngo|.ong community are actively pursuing their missions on a regular basis.
Structured. Members of the .ngo|.ong community, whether large or small, operate in a structured manner (e.g. under bylaws, codes of conduct, organizational standards, or other government structures.)

Validation documentation may consist of one or more of the following:
government list;
corporate documents (e.g. Articles of Incorporation); and
tax records or other documents evidencing the entity’s charitable status and work in the community it serves.
Registrant is required to certify that the information and documentation it submitted in the validation process remains true, complete, and accurate at least once every two years after initial validation.
If the registrant does not successfully complete the validation process within one year from the date it registers the domain name bundle, the domain name bundle will be deleted and released back into the pool of available domains and any fees paid in connection with the registration of the domain name bundle will be forfeit.
Registrant acknowledges and understands that, in the event it is selected for an audit, it will promptly comply with any inquiries and requests from the Registry to provide additional evidence of its NGO status.
If, as a result of the audit process, the Registry determines (in its sole discretion) that the Registrant does not meet the NGO eligibility requirements, the Registrant’s domain name bundle will be deleted and released back into the pool of available domains and any fees paid in connection with the Registrant’s domain name bundle will be forfeit.
