Domain Name Selection
Pugmarks Hosting does not check to see whether the domain name you select/transfer,
or the use you make of the domain name, 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 might turn to you to hold us harmless and indemnify us.
We do not register abusive domain names.
We will register your domain name in .com, .net and .org extensions. For the registration
of the domains with other extensions, you will contact the registrar directly. However,
we reserve the right to register the domains with other extensions on special occasions.
But, we are not liable to register the domains in other extensions except .com,
.net and .org
Fees, Payment and Term
You agree to pay us prior to the effectiveness of the desired domain name registration,
the then-current amounts set forth in the Pugmarks Hosting price schedule for the
initial registration of the domain name and, should you choose to renew the registration,
subsequent renewals of the registration. All fees are non-refundable, in whole or
in part, even if your domain name registration is suspended, cancelled or transferred
prior to the end of your current registration term. Pugmarks Hosting reserves the
right to change fees, surcharges, renewal fees or to institute new fees at any time,
for any reason, as its sole discretion.
In the event of a charge back by a credit card company (or similar action by another
payment provider allowed by Pugmarks Hosting) or dishonor of cheque/demand draft
or non-payment in any other form in connection with the payments of the registration,
renewal or registrar transfer fee, you agree and acknowledge that the domain name
registration shall be transferred to Pugmarks Hosting as paying entity for that
registration to the registry and that we reserve all rights regarding such domain
name available to other parties for purchase. You also agree that once a domain
registered as per your request and you find that the domain name has been registered
wrongly, we will not refund or registered another domain name in lieu of that domain.
You will have to pay us the applicable charges for new domain registration. But
if the domain is registered wrongly by Pugmarks Hosting, we will register the correct
domain without any cost and the wrong domain name will be shifted in the name of
Pugmarks Hosting and Pugmarks Hosting reserves the right to make it available or
put it for sale for other persons at its sole discretion.

expired domain name, for any reasons whatsoever.
All the payments are to be made by Demand Draft/Check in favor of Pugmarks Hosting

online.
Along with the payment, you will provide us the complete domain registration details
required to register a domain name. The domain registration details mean the complete
details of the Registrant, Admin and Billing contact. In case if the complete domain
registration details are not provided by you, we will not register your domain name.
And at the time of providing the complete registration details, if your domain is
registered by another person, we will not be responsible for the same. In such event,
you can either provide us another domain name option or we will refund your money,
net of bank charges, if any. You also acknowledge and agree that Pugmarks Hosting
cannot guarantee that you will be able to register or renew a desired domain name
even if any inquiry indicates that domain name is available, since Pugmarks Hosting
cannot know with certainty whether or not the domain name which you are seeking
to register is simultaneously being sought by third party(s), or whether there are
any inaccuracies or errors in the domain name registration or renewal process or
related databases, including the various WHOIS database. You further agree that
Pugmarks Hosting may elect to accept or reject your application for registration
or renewal for any reason at its sole discretion.
Domain Name can be applied for a period of 1 to 10 years from the date of registration.
You can apply for renewal of the registration for further period of 1 to 10 years
on payment of renewal fees applicable at the time of re-registration, and terms
and conditions as applicable at the time of re-registration.
Pugmarks Hosting will try to notify you prior to the expiry of your domain. We owe
no responsibility if we fail to notify prior to due date. You are requested to make
the payment as and when due and further request not to rely on our mail for reminding
you to make the payment. The payment for renewal must be received at least 15 days
prior to the date of expiry in order to avoid the release of the domain and being
taken by someone else. Pugmarks Hosting will not be responsible if the domain is
released by the registrar due to non-renewal payment or whatever reasons applicable.
In case the requisite payment is not received since it is due, then we can stop
providing services to you and the stoppage of service due to non payment or any
other reason attributable to you can not be held as " intent to cause wrongful
loss or damage to the public or any person and neither it can be constructed to
diminish the value or utility or affect you injuriously".
Discontinuance of service by Pugmarks Hosting due to non-payment of dues or any
other reason attributable to you does not amount to Hacking.
