A domain name will be deemed active when the applicable registry accepts your application and activates your domain name or renewal.

Starry Eyes Media makes no guarantees, representations, or warranties that your proposed registration request for a domain name, even if suggested by Starry Eyes Media, will be accepted by the applicable registry or that it will not infringe third-party rights. You acknowledge and agree that the proposed registration request for a domain name(s) submitted by Starry Eyes Media to any registry may fail or be rejected by the applicable registry for any number of reasons, including, but not limited to, the fact that your proposed registration request for a domain name was not first in time. You acknowledge and agree that the successful registration will depend upon a number of different factors that Starry Eyes Media cannot predict or control. You hereby assume all liability for the domain name you chose, even if suggested by Starry Eyes Media, and acknowledge that in the event that the domain name infringes third-party rights or is otherwise prohibited, it may be subject to arbitrary or other legal proceedings even after its registration.

3.6 No Grant Of Rights

The registration of a domain name does not provide you with any intellectual property protections, rights, or registrations, nor does it provide you with any rights to any particular domain name registration.

3.7 Right To Refuse

Starry Eyes Media, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to refuse to register a chosen domain name or to delete your chosen domain name within the first thirty (30) calendar days from receipt of your payment for such domain name. In the event that we do not register Your chosen domain name or we delete your chosen domain name within such thirty (30) calendar day period, we agree to refund any applicable fee(s) you have paid, however, In the event that we delete the registration of a domain name being used in association with SPAM or morally objectionable activities, no refund will be issued. You agree that we shall not be liable to you for loss, cost, or damage that may result from our refusal to register your chosen domain name, the deletion of your chosen domain name, or refusal to register you for other Starry Eyes Media services.

4. Expired Domain Names

Your Domain will expire at the end of the applicable registration or renewal term, as applicable. Any renewal of your services with Starry Eyes Media is subject to our then-current terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, successful completion of any applicable authentication procedure, payment of all applicable service fees at or prior to the time of renewal, and the domain name registry’s acceptance of your domain name registration.

Should You not renew (either automatically or manually) Your Domain, prior to its expiration or during any applicable grace period mandated by ICANN, Your Domain name will be placed on hold for a period of 40 days, meaning that viewers will no longer be able to get to your Website. During such a 40-day period, you will be entitled to renew Your Domain at the standard rate. Following the lapse of such a 40-day period, Your Domain name will be still placed on hold and prepared for deletion, and You will still be able the renew your domain name, but You will have to pay an additional redemption fee of US $100. The amount of the redemption fee is determined by the registry and varies for each TLD. After 70 days, You will no longer have the option to renew Your Domain, and Your Domain will be marked for deletion, following which others will be able to buy Your Domain name.  You acknowledge and agree that Your right and interest in a domain name ceases upon its expiration, and You agree that we may place our contact information in the WHOIS output for the expired domain name.

You are solely responsible for the credit card or payment information you provide to Starry Eyes Media and you must promptly inform Starry Eyes Media of any changes thereto (e.g., change of expiration date or account number). You understand that if you do not maintain up-to-date and valid credit card information, that Your Domain and other services we provide will not be renewed.  This could result in the loss of Your Domain registration and/or, in the case of privacy/proxy or Starry Eyes Media SPAM Protection service customers, the possible publication of your personal information in the public WHOIS.

6.2 Auto-Renewal Terms

In order to ensure that you do not experience any interruption or loss of services, Your Domain and any other service associated thereto (i.e. privacy/proxy service) are set to automatically renew upon the end of the applicable Domain Service period, for the same term then-currently in place for the Services, and at the then-current price for the Services (which may be higher or lower than the original price for the Services).

Starry Eyes Media will attempt to charge your payment method on file, for the renewal fee up to 30 days before the expiration date of the Domain and extends the registration for an equivalent period as the original period.

In the event of failure to collect the fees owed by You, we may in our sole discretion (but shall not be obligated to) retry to collect at a later time and/or suspend or cancel Your Domain, without further notice. In the event that Starry Eyes Media is unable to charge all fees through your payment method or if Starry Eyes Media receives a notification of a chargeback, reversal, payment dispute, or is charged a penalty for any fee it previously charged to Registrant’s selected payment method, Starry Eyes Media may pursue all available lawful remedies to obtain payment, including immediately suspending or canceling your Domain Name and any Service provided to you. Automatic Renewal will not be effective until payment is final.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that the payment method You have on file with Starry Eyes Media is current and valid. By entering into this Agreement, You acknowledge the automatic renewal terms of Your Domain as indicated herein and You authorize Starry Eyes Media to charge the applicable fees to your authorized method of payment until You cancel the Services.

You agree to be bound by all ICANN consensus policies and all policies of any relevant Registry Operator, including the Uniform Rapid Suspension Procedure, the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), along with the UDRP rules and all supplemental rules of any UDRP provider, which are all incorporated herein and made a part of this Agreement by reference. The current version of the ICANN domain name dispute policy may be found at https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/policy-2012-02-25-en. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions in this Agreement and those in the applicable Dispute Policy, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. You are aware of the fact that the Dispute Policy may be modified from time to time. If a third-party challenges the registration or reservation of Your Domain Name (for instance, if Your Domain name is allegedly identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or has been registered in bad faith), You will be subject to the UDRP’s provisions in effect at the time the third-party disputes Registrant’s Registered Name registration.

You agree that in the event a domain name dispute arises with any third-party, you will indemnify and hold Starry Eyes Media harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth below in this Agreement.

If we are notified that a complaint has been filed with a judicial or administrative or governmental body regarding your Domain Name, we may take whatever action it deems necessary in its sole discretion and without any liability to You regarding modification, assignment, or control of Your Domain to comply with the governmental, administrative, or judicial body’s requirements until the dispute is settled. If You or Your Domain name become the subject of litigation, we may deposit control of Your Domain into the registry of the judicial body by supplying a party with a registrar certificate.

You agree that Starry Eyes Media may deny any request to transfer a domain name registration that is otherwise capable of transfer to another registrar where you fail to respond appropriately to a transfer confirmation request from Starry Eyes Media. Furthermore, you acknowledge and agree that pursuant to applicable policies adopted by ICANN related to the transfer of domain names and/or disputes, it is possible for Your Domain to be transferred to another registrar even though the transfer has not actually been approved by you, and you agree that we shall not be liable to you for any such unauthorized transfers. You also acknowledge and agree that we cannot control and shall not be liable to you for the actions of third-parties, including but not limited to registry operators, in connection with a domain name transfer, or a reversal of or refusal to reverse a domain name transfer, whether or not the transfer was approved by you.

Either you or Starry Eyes Media may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Charleston, West Virginia. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above. If the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Kanawha County, West Virginia to resolve your claim.

15.6.4. No Class Actions

You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are expressly not allowed. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable or otherwise void, then the entirety of this “Mandatory Arbitration Provisions” section will be deemed void.

15.6.5. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

This Agreement shall be governed by, construed under, and enforced in all respects solely and exclusively in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of West Virginia, USA, without respect to its conflict of laws principles.
