This Registration Agreement shall be accepted at the offices of CSL.

Registrant agrees, as a condition to submitting this Registration Agreement, and if the Registration Agreement is accepted by CSL, that the Registrant shall be bound by current Dispute Policy. The current version of the Dispute Policy may be found at: http://SamoaNIC.ws/legal/dispute.dhtml

D. Dispute Policy Changes or Modifications. 

Registrant agrees that CSL, in its sole discretion, may change or modify the Dispute Policy, incorporated by reference herein, at any time. Registrant agrees that Registrant's maintaining the registration of a domain name after changes or modifications to the Dispute Policy become effective constitutes Registrant's continued acceptance of these changes or modifications. Registrant agrees that if Registrant considers any such changes or modifications to be unacceptable, Registrant may request that the domain name be deleted from the domain name database. 

E. Disputes. 

Registrant agrees that, if the registration of its domain name is challenged by any third party, the Registrant will be subject to the provisions specified in the Dispute Policy. 

F. Agents. 

Registrant agrees that if this Registration Agreement is completed by an agent for the Registrant, such as an ISP or Administrative Contact/Agent, the Registrant is nonetheless bound as a principal by all terms and conditions herein, including the Dispute Policy. 

G. Limitation of Liability. 

Registrant agrees that CSL shall have no liability to the Registrant for any loss Registrant may incur in connection with processing of this Registration Agreement, in connection with processing of any authorized modification to the domain name's record during the covered period, as a result of the Registrant's ISP's failure to pay either the initial registration fee or renewal fee, or as a result of the application of the provisions of the Dispute Policy. Registrant agrees that in no event shall the maximum liability of CSL under this Agreement for any matter exceed Five Hundred United States Dollars (US). 

H. Indemnity. 

Registrant agrees, in the event the Registration Agreement is accepted by CSL and a subsequent dispute arises with any third party, to indemnify and hold CSL harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Dispute Policy. 

I. Breach. 

Registrant agrees that failure to abide by any provision of this Registration Agreement or the Dispute Policy may be considered by CSL to be a material breach and that CSL may provide a written notice, describing the breach, to the Registrant. If, within ten (10) days of the date of mailing such notice, the Registrant fails to provide evidence, which is reasonably satisfactory to CSL, that it has not breached its obligations, then CSL may delete Registrant's registration of the domain name. Any such breach by a Registrant shall not be deemed to be excused simply because CSL did not act earlier in response to that, or any other, breach by the Registrant. 

J. No Guaranty. 

Registrant agrees that, by registration of a domain name, such registration does not confer immunity from objection to either the registration or use of the domain name. 

K. Warranty. 

Registrant warrants by submitting this Registration Agreement that, to the best of Registrant's knowledge and belief, the information submitted herein is true and correct, and that any future changes to this information will be provided to CSL in a timely manner according to the domain name modification procedures in place at that time. Breach of this warranty will constitute a material breach. 

L. Revocation. 

Registrant agrees that CSL may delete a Registrant's domain name if this Registration Agreement, or subsequent modification(s) thereto, contains false or misleading information, or conceals or omits any information CSL would likely consider material to its decision to approve this Registration Agreement. 

M. Right of Refusal. 

CSL, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to refuse to approve the Registration Agreement for any Registrant. Registrant agrees that the submission of this Registration Agreement does not obligate CSL to accept this Registration Agreement. Registrant agrees that CSL shall not be liable for loss or damages that may result from refusal to accept this Registration Agreement. 

N. Severability. 

Registrant agrees that the terms of this Registration Agreement are severable. If any term or provision is declared invalid, it shall not affect the remaining terms or provisions which shall continue to be binding. 

O. Entirety.

This Registration Agreement and the Dispute Policy supersede all prior agreements and understandings, whether established by custom, practice, policy, or precedent.
