    If You have previously registered a domain name with another provider and want to use it with the Service, You must request that the existing registrar change the name servers for the domain name as designated by Yahoo!, on Your behalf.

If You fail to respond to any such request or fail to verify any Required Information to Yahoo!'s reasonable satisfaction, within 15 days of any such request from Yahoo!, Yahoo! may, in its sole discretion, immediately terminate Your Service and remove any of Your materials, including Your domain name, from Yahoo! servers.

PART A - Terms that apply to all domain name registrations

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

General

1. Introduction
Melbourne IT is an accredited Registrar of Internet Corporation For Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This domain name registration agreement (Registration Agreement) is submitted by you, the applicant for, and on registration, the licence holder of a domain name (refered to in this Agreement as you, your and the Registrant) to Melbourne IT Limited ACN 073 716 793 (Melbourne IT) for the purpose of registering a domain name.

Part A sets out the general provisions governing all domain name registrations governed by this Registration Agreement.

Part B sets out the additional provisions specific to .com, .net and .org domain name registrations.

Part C sets out the additional provisions specific to multi-lingual domain name registrations.

Part D sets out the additional provisions specific to other domain name pre-registrations and registrations governed by this Registration Agreement.

If this Registration Agreement is accepted by Melbourne IT, Registrant agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Registration Agreement in respect of any domain name pre-registrations or registrations submitted by Registrant to Melbourne IT.

2. Changes to this Registration Agreement
Melbourne IT may change the terms and conditions of this Registration Agreement either by obtaining your consent or giving you notice. The period of notice given by Melbourne IT depends on the nature of the change. If:

1. the change will benefit you, we may make the change immediately and are not required to notify you prior to the change;
2. the change is required by law, a regulatory body (including ICANN, auDA or any other domain name regulatory body) or for a technical reason (including for security), we will give you a reasonable period of notice not exceeding 3 days;
3. we consider that the change has a significant and detrimental impact on our customers generally, we will give you at least 30 days notice prior to the change, and
4. for all other changes, we will also give you at least 30 days notice prior to the change.

Melbourne IT may give notice of a change by posting the new version of the Agreement on its website located at www.melbourneit.com.au/policies.

3. Licensing of Domain Name
Registrant remains the responsible contracting party under this Registration Agreement, even if Registrant licenses use of the domain name to a third party.

4. Dispute Policy
Registrant agrees, as a condition to submitting this Registration Agreement, and if the Registration Agreement is accepted by Melbourne IT, that on successful registration of any domain name under this Agreement the Registrant is bound by Melbourne IT's current dispute policy and the dispute policy procedures. Registrant acknowledges that the dispute policy described in this clause 4 is the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the UDRP Dispute Policy). Registrant agrees that in respect of the pre-registration or registration of other domain names covered by this agreement in Part D, other dispute policies may apply as specified by the registry administrator of those domain names from time to time, as described in more detail in Part D (the "Other Dispute Policies"). Registrant agrees that Melbourne IT may change or modify the UDRP 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 UDRP Dispute Policy become effective constitutes Registrant's continued acceptance of these changes or modifications. Registrant agrees that any dispute relating to registration or use of its domain name (and which is not the subject of the Other Dispute Policies) will be subject to the provisions specified in the UDRP Dispute Policy. Without prejudice to other potentially applicable jurisdictions, Registrant submits to the jurisdiction of the courts as described in clause 19. The UDRP Dispute Policy can be viewed at http://www.inww.com/policies/gtlddispute.php3. The UDRP Dispute Policy procedure can be viewed at http://www.inww.com/policies/gtldrules.php3.

5. Agents
Registrant agrees that if this Registration Agreement is completed by an agent for the Registrant, such as an Administrative Contact/Agent, the Registrant is nonetheless bound as a principal by all terms and conditions herein, including the relevant domain name dispute policy.

6. Expiration of the domain name license

i. You may renew your domain name with Melbourne IT at any time before the date 40 days after the Expiry Date (Renewal Deadline).
ii. Registrant acknowledges that certain registry authorities offer a further period after the Renewal Deadline during which a registrant may renew their domain name before it is available for re-registration by other parties. If your domain name has not otherwise been dealt with by Melbourne IT under the terms of this Registration Agreement, your domain name will be cancelled at the registry after which you may be eligible for a further 30 day Registry Redemption Grace Period during which you may redeem your domain name by paying to Melbourne IT the redemption fee (the current redemption fee is set out at http://www.melbourneit.com.au and is subject to change).

6A.12 Nothing in this clause 6A shall require Melbourne IT to perform any act or thing which, in Melbourne IT's sole discretion, is inconsistent with or disadvantageous to its role as registrar under this Agreement or otherwise, or result in Melbourne IT not being entitled to exercise any other right available to Melbourne IT under this Agreement.

7. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by law, Registrant agrees that neither Melbourne IT nor the registry administrator has any liability to the Registrant or the Registrant's agent for any loss Registrant may incur in connection with Melbourne IT's processing of this Registration Agreement, Melbourne IT's processing of any pre-registration application or application for a domain name, the processing of any authorized modification to the domain name's record during the covered registration or renewal period, any action (or inaction of either Melbourne IT or any Third Party Provider under clause 6A), or the failure by the Registrant or the Registrant's agent to pay a pre-registration fee or other fee (including, without limitation, any registration fee or renewal fee), or as a result of the application of the provisions of the relevant domain name dispute policy. Registrant agrees that in no event will the liability of Melbourne IT under this Agreement for any matter exceed, in the sole option of Melbourne IT, the re-supply of the services again or the fee paid to Melbourne IT for the provision of the services.

This clause survives termination of this Agreement.

9. Breach
Registrant agrees that failure to abide by any provision of this Registration Agreement or the relevant domain name dispute policy (including, without limitation, any domain name dispute policy that applies during a pre-registration period) may be considered by Melbourne IT to be a material breach and that Melbourne IT may provide a notice, describing the breach, to the Registrant. If, within thirty (30) days of the date of such notice, the Registrant fails to provide evidence, which is reasonably satisfactory to Melbourne IT, that it has not breached its obligations, then Melbourne IT may delete Registrant's registration of the domain name. Any such breach by a Registrant shall not be deemed to be excused simply because Melbourne IT did not act earlier in response to that, or any other, breach by the Registrant. Notice may be given by mail, facsimile or electronic means.

10. No Warranty by Melbourne IT
Registrant agrees that neither a pre-registration application nor a registration of a domain name grants any legal rights of ownership of the relevant domain name, nor does it confer immunity from objection to the pre-registration, registration or use of the domain name.

11. Acknowledgements and Warranty
(i) Registrant acknowledges that it is Registrant's responsibility to ensure that the domain name is renewed. Registrant agrees, in addition to the indemnity above, to keep indemnified, release and hold harmless Melbourne IT and the registry administrator, their directors, officers, employees and agents, against any claim for damage or loss arising from any failure of Registrant's domain name to be renewed by Registrant.

(ii) Registrant warrants that, to the best of Registrant's knowledge and belief, neither its registration of a domain name nor the manner in which it is directly or indirectly used infringes the legal rights of a third party. Breach of this warranty will constitute a material breach.

12. Revocation
Registrant agrees that Melbourne IT may delete a Registrant's domain name if any information required to be supplied by the Registrant under this Registration Agreement, or subsequent modification(s) thereto, is false or misleading, or conceals or omits any information Melbourne IT would likely consider material to its decision to approve this Registration Agreement.

12. Right of Refusal
Registrant acknowledges that the registry administrator or ICANN policy may provide that registration of certain domain names is prohibited. Melbourne IT, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to refuse to approve the Registration Agreement for any Registrant.

Registrant agrees that Melbourne IT is not liable for loss or damage that may result from Melbourne IT's refusal to accept this Registration Agreement.

15.3 in case of arbitration or court proceedings being commenced with respect to the rights to the domain name.

15.4 activity that infringes the intellectual property rights or other rights of any third party;

16.3 The registration is for the full period of years selected and paid for at the time of Application or renewal.

17. Non payment
Registrant agrees that failure to pay any fee for its domain name when due (as evidenced for example by, without limitation, Registrant's payment method company notifying Melbourne IT of Registrant disputing the payment of, or refusing to pay such Registration fee, or where the Registrant's credit card or PayPal payment has been declined or reversed) will entitle Melbourne IT to immediately transfer the relevant domain name from the Registrant to Melbourne IT, at its sole discretion. Registrant acknowledges that Melbourne IT will own all rights of the registered domain name holder in respect of any domain name transferred to Melbourne IT under this clause 16, including the right to sell the domain name to a third party. Melbourne IT may in its sole discretion re-transfer the relevant domain name to the Registrant subject to the Registrant's payment of any outstanding Registration fee, and Registrant's payment of Melbourne IT's then current re-transfer fee.

LOGOWORKS TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE

Welcome to Logoworks! By using Logoworks, and signing up as a Client, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms and Conditions of Use (the "Terms and Conditions"), including those terms and conditions incorporated by reference. Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully. If you do not accept these Terms and Conditions, you may not use the Logoworks service. Logoworks may revise these Terms and Conditions at any time by updating this posting. You should visit this web page periodically to review the Terms and Conditions, because they are binding on you. In these Terms and Conditions, all services provided by and related to Logoworks, and all text, images, photographs, user interface, "look" and "feel", data and other content included at Logoworks.com from time to time (including, without limitation, the selection, coordination and arrangement of such content) are sometimes referred to as the "Web Site" and/or "Service." Logoworks is owned and operated by Hewlett-Packard Company.

You acknowledge and agree that Logoworks shall have the right (but not the obligation) in its sole discretion, to pre-screen, refuse or remove any project and/or user provided content that violates these Terms and Conditions or is otherwise objectionable, including, without limitation, projects or content that is illegal, obscene, indecent, defamatory, incites religious, racial or ethnic hatred, or violates the rights of others. Activity that is brought to our attention which appears in our sole judgment to violate the law will be brought to the attention of the proper authorities. You acknowledge, consent and agree that Logoworks may access, preserve, and disclose your account information and content if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process; (b) enforce these Terms and Conditions; (c) respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third-parties; (d) respond to your requests for customer service; or (e) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Logoworks, its users and the public.

1. Logoworks Service Generally

(a) Description. The Logoworks Service is an online offering where individuals or entities that have signed up with Logoworks as clients (each, a "Client") can post specific assignments and project descriptions, including illustrative samples or other media (each, a "Creative Brief"), revise those Creative Briefs (each, a "Revision Brief") and obtain responses (each, a "Response") to those Creative or Revision Briefs from design experts retained by Logoworks ("Members"). Logoworks will provide you, as the Client, the Service according to the Package you have chosen as detailed in section 1(e) below. Your Responses will be created iteratively through a drafting cycle of Creative Briefs, Revision Briefs and Responses, ultimately resulting in a final Response conforming to your various Creative and Revision Briefs.

(b) Creative Brief and Responses. You are solely responsible for preparing and posting detailed descriptions of each of your Creative Briefs to the Web Site, including providing samples illustrating your Creative Brief and any relevant deadlines. For each Response to a Creative Brief that you want to receive, a term sheet (a "Term Sheet") will be generated that will contain, and be subject to, the terms and conditions you have established for the Creative or Revision Brief. Logoworks is under no obligation to review a Creative or Revision Brief or Term Sheet for any purpose, including accuracy, completeness of information, quality or clarity. Logoworks may decide, in its sole discretion, to deny a Creative or Revision Brief or a Term Sheet.

(c) Reviewing Responses. When Logoworks provides you with a Response, you are responsible for reviewing the Response. If you fail to promptly inform Logoworks that the Response is not reasonably responsive to the related Term Sheet or Creative Brief, you will be deemed to have accepted the Response. If you notify Logoworks that you think a Response is not reasonably responsive to the related Creative Brief, you shall then submit to the Web Site a Revision Brief containing information regarding amendments or modification to be made to the initial Response. After you provide Logoworks with a Revision Brief, Logoworks will provide you with a subsequent Response that conforms to the additional criteria you requested. Logoworks is not responsible for the content of Responses developed to the extent that such Responses are prepared to conform to your Creative or Revision Briefs.

(d) Revision Cycles. Revision cycles generally consist of 2-6 additional compositions that incorporate changes you request in a Revision Brief. The purpose of the revision process is to create Responses that move your project forward in the specific direction you have determined. You may request significant changes in the first and second cycles, and the Responses generated might be quite different in nature from the original composition you selected. By the third revision request, your requests shall be modifications of the current composition only. Revision requests that depart from the then-current composition will be honored and completed in a timely manner, however; Logoworks reserves the right to charge $50 for each such Revision. No revision work, which requires payment, will be started without your authorization.

(e) Client Accounts. When you register for the Service, you must pay for the Service via credit card, or other payment method expressly authorized by Logoworks. You will be charged for the Package you have selected. If you pay by credit card, you will be required to provide a valid credit card number and credit card billing address when registering as a Client. Logoworks will email you a receipt for the transactions in which you are involved. Our fee policy for Clients may change and we may decide to impose additional fees on Clients at any time; however, such additional fees will not apply to projects submitted before Logoworks implements any such change in fees.

(f) Refunds. Refunds for the Logoworks by HP Site Design service offered through Yahoo! are available only by contacting Yahoo! Small Business Customer Care. A full refund is available only if you have not received any consultation or design services. If any design work has been completed, you will not be eligible for a partial or full refund.

(g) Should you receive a refund, you agree that your acceptance of the refund shall constitute your sole and exclusive remedy with respect to related Responses. Additionally, you acknowledge that you will have no right (express or implied) to use any Response or other work product, content, or media, nor will you have any ownership interest in or to the same.

(h) Project Duration. You agree to provide timely responses to any status notifications that Logoworks sends to you. You shall have 30 days to respond to each Response sent to you. If after 30 days you have failed to respond, Logoworks will assume that your project is complete and the project shall be deemed completed. At such time, Logoworks will have no further obligation to you, and you will pay Logoworks pursuant to the provisions of these Terms and Conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Logoworks reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate your access to all or a portion of the Service, at any time, with or without notice. In the event of such termination, Logoworks will determine, in its sole discretion, whether you are entitled to any refund.
