infringes legal rights of others. We urge you to investigate to see whether the domain name you select
or its use infringes legal rights of others, and in particular we suggest you seek advice of competent
counsel. You may wish to consider seeking one or more trademark registrations in connection with your
domain name. You should be aware that there is the possibility we might be ordered by a court to
cancel, modify, or transfer your domain name. You should be aware that if we are sued or threatened
with lawsuit in connection with your domain name, we may turn to you to hold us harmless and indemnify
us.

registry administrators may provide procedures or grace periods during which expired domain name
registrations may be renewed. You acknowledge that you assume all risks and all consequences if you
