Liability for registration and use of domain names

HSCOM has not and does not conduct pre-registration searches in respect of the customer's use and registration of its selected Domain Name/s and is therefore not obliged to either advise the Domain Name customer/customer about possible conflicting third party rights or to take steps to ensure against possible disputes concerning a third party's intellectual property or other rights.

The use or registration of the Domain Name by customer does not interfere with nor infringe the rights of any third party in any jurisdiction with respect to trademark, service mark, tradename, company name, close corporation name, copyright nor any other intellectual property right, and that customer has the right to use the Domain Name as requested.

HSCOM cannot act as an arbiter of disputes arising out of the registration and use of Domain Names. At the same time, customer acknowledges that HSCOM may be presented with evidence that a Domain Name registered by customer violates the rights of a third party. In such instance HSCOM shall be allowed to provide a complainant with customer 's name and address and all further communication will exclude HSCOM and HSCOM will have no further obligations to the customer. In such instance customer shall be entitled to continue using the Domain Name registered for customer by HSCOM until a court or other body with jurisdiction directs otherwise.
