8.    The Applicant (or their agent) may surrender a licence of a Domain Name by notice in writing to EziHosting.

9.    General:

9.1    EziHosting is entitled to register Domain Names on a first come, first served basis and there is no guarantee that any Domain Name applied for will be registered. Applicants are advised not to take any action in respect to the registration of a Domain Name until it a Domain Name certificate is issued.

9.2    Registration is not effective until EziHosting receives all application fees.

9.3    EziHosting may cancel the registration or suspend the delegation of a Domain Name in exceptional circumstances by notice in writing to the Applicant or agent. Exceptional circumstances include those set out in the com.au General (Naming) Policy.

9.4    EziHosting does not accept any responsibility for the registration or use of any com.au Domain Name and in particular for any conflict with trade marks (registered or unregistered), or with rights to names in other contexts. A Domain Name certificate is not evidence of ownership of the name used as a Domain Name.

9.5    EziHosting will use its reasonable endeavours to ensure that details supplied in the application are entered into and maintained in the com.au zone file and sent to AUNIC registry. EziHosting does not accept any responsibility for the performance of the AUNIC registry or the primary domain name server.

In no circumstances will EziHosting be liable for any loss of profit, business or anticipated savings by the Applicant.

9.7    The Applicant warrants to EziHosting that neither the registration of the Domain Name nor the manner in which the Domain Name is directly or indirectly used infringes on the legal rights of a third party. EziHosting's remedies under this warranty will continue to be available after completion of the registration process and notwithstanding any subsequent surrender or cancellation of the Domain Name.

9.8    The Applicant indemnifies EziHosting against any claim that the registration of the Domain Name or the manner in which the Domain Name is directly or indirectly used infringes the legal rights of any third party (except for claims arising from EziHosting's negligence or breach of the terms of the contract); and indemnifies EziHosting against the costs and expenses, however they may arise, incurred in defending or dealing with such a claim.

10.    If any clause of these terms and conditions is held to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or part, the invalid or unenforceable wording shall be deemed to be omitted.

11.    The Domain Name may not be sold, lent or used by any party other than the Applicant, and the Domain Name may not be transferred from the Applicant to another party.

12.    Any notice to be given under the contract shall be deemed to be served if delivered by hand or sent by pre-paid post, by fax or e-mail, to the party to whom it is given at its last known postal or e-mail address or fax number.

13.    The contract is governed by Australian law, and the Applicant and EziHosting submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Australian courts.
