ICANN oversees the .com, .net, and .org top-level domains. MYNIC oversees the .com.my, .net.my, .name.my and .org.my top-level domains.

Upon MCentury's receipt of domain name registration information from you, MCentury shall submit the information to the registry administrator for the appropriate top-level domain for approval and processing. The registry administrator then puts into effect the domain name registration. Network Solutions, Inc. currently acts as the registry administrator for the .com, .org, and .net top-level domains. Nominet UK acts as the registry administrator for the .co.uk, .org.uk, .ltd.uk and .plc.uk top-level domains.

 

Selection Of A Domain Name

You represent that, to the best of the your knowledge and belief, neither this registration of a domain name nor the manner in which it is directly or indirectly to be used infringes upon the legal rights of a third party and, further, that the domain name is not being registered for nor shall it at any time whatsoever be used for any unlawful purpose whatsoever.

If you are registering your name during the finite period of time when owners of trademarks and service marks issued prior to October 2, 2000 and having national effect will have the exclusive opportunity to register identical domain names ("Sunrise Period"). You acknowledge and agree that registrations for domain names during the Sunrise Period will only be accepted for a minimum registration term of five (5) years.

 

.name RESTRICTIONS

Registrations in the .name top-level domain must constitute an individual's "Personal Name". For purposes of the .name restrictions (the "Restrictions"), a "Personal Name" is a person's legal name, or a name by which the person is commonly known. A "name by which a person is commonly known" includes, without limitation, a pseudonym used by an author or painter, or a stage name used by a singer or actor.

 

Fees

As consideration for MCentury providing domain name registration services to you, you agree to pay MCentury, prior to the approval of the desired domain name registration, the amounts set forth in the MCentury Price Schedule, as amended from time to time, for the initial registration of the domain name and any subsequent renewals.

Your application will not be registered until MCentury receives actual payment of the registration fee. If MCentury does register a domain name prior to payment of the registration fee, MCentury reserves the right to cancel that registration or restrict use of the domain name until payment has been received.

All fees must be prepaid and are non-refundable, in whole or in part, even if the domain name registration is suspended, cancelled or transferred prior to the end of the registration term.

In the event of a charge back by a credit card company or other payment provider authorized by MCentury, the domain name registration shall be transferred to MCentury as the paying entity for the registration. MCentury may reinstate your domain name registration at its sole discretion upon its receipt of the registration or renewal fee and its then current reinstatement fee. The reinstatement fee is currently US $100.
