12. Free Domain Name. If the cost of registering or renewing a single domain name for one year is included in the annual Fees that you are being charged for a Hosting Service (see the applicable Service Description to find out if it is included and the eligible types of domain names) and the domain name that you wish to register or renew for use with the website being hosted is both an eligible type of domain name and available, SwiftRacks will register or renew (as applicable) the domain name for you.

1. Assistance with Registering Only. SwiftRacks may assist you to register one or more top-level or second-level domain names (the “Domain Name Registration Service”). For each such domain name registered SwiftRacks’s involvement ends with the registration. You will be the registrant, administrative contact and technical contact, and you agree to be bound by all applicable terms and conditions published by the applicable registrar (http://www.opensrs.com/docs/contracts/exhibita.htm; http://promopeople.com/terms-of-service.html).

2. Maintenance of Domain Names.You are responsible for the ongoing maintenance, control and use of any domain name registered in your name and for any fees or taxes associated with its maintenance. To maintain your domain name registration you will need to interact directly with the applicable registrar. FOR GREATER CLARITY, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR: (i) RENEWING THE REGISTRATION AND ENSURING THAT IT DOES NOT LAPSE; AND (ii) ADDRESSING ANY ISSUES RELATING TO YOUR DOMAIN NAME.

You acknowledge that the privacy service is provided by the applicable registrar, not SwiftRacks.
5. As is. Assistance with registering domain names and securing related privacy services is provided “as is” and without any warranties, representations or conditions whatsoever.
6. Domain Redemption Fee: If your domain was registered with SwiftRacks and has expired, but you wish to recover the domain, SwiftRacks may be able to recover the domain if it is still within the redemption period. To recover a domain name that has expired but which is still within the redemption period, SwiftRacks must pay a redemption fee, which in turn will be passed on to you the customer. Please note that this domain redemption fee does not include the registration price of the domain that will still need to be paid to register the domain for the next year. If the domain name is not renewed or acquired during the redemption period, it will be made available again to the general public after the redemption period completes. Only domains that have been registered with SwiftRacks can be re-registered after expiration of the domain. If the domain that has expired was registered at another company, you will need to contact that registrar to recover the domain from the redemption period.

If you have received written permission from SwiftRacks to resell all or part of the Services that you are receiving pursuant to this Agreement, you are responsible for providing support to your clients. If SwiftRacks is contacted directly by any such client, SwiftRacks may suspend all or part of the Services that it is providing to you.

Once you have satisfied SwiftRacks that you have taken reasonable steps to inform your clients that they are to contact you for support and to ensure that you are providing that support, SwiftRacks will lift the suspension.
