1. INTRODUCTION. In this Service Agreement ("Agreement"), "you" and "your" refer to each customer ("Customer") and its agents, including your administrative contact, and "we", "us" and "our" refer collectively to VeriSign, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including but not limited to Network Solutions, Inc. ("Network Solutions"), (collectively "VeriSign"). All references in this Agreement to Network Solutions shall be deemed to be references to VeriSign. This Agreement explains our obligations to you, and your obligations to us in relation to the VeriSign service(s) you purchase. By purchasing VeriSign's service(s) you agree to establish an account with us for such services. When you use your account or permit someone else to use your account to purchase or otherwise acquire access to additional VeriSign service(s) or to modify or cancel your VeriSign service(s) (even if we were not notified of such authorization), this Agreement as amended covers any such service or actions. Additionally, you agree that the administrative contact for any services provided to you (including, but not limited to, domain name registration services) is your agent with full authority to act on your behalf with respect to such services, including (but not limited to) the authority to terminate, transfer (where transfer is permitted by the Agreement), or modify such services, or purchase additional services. Any acceptance of your application(s) or requests for our services and the performance of our services will occur at our offices in Herndon, Virginia (in the cases of services governed by Schedules A through H and Schedules J, N, O, Q, R, S, T, U and V) or Mountain View, California (in the cases of services governed by Schedules I, K, L, M and P) the locations of our principal places of business.

2. VARIOUS SERVICES. Sections 1 through 29 apply to any and all VeriSign services that you purchase. The terms and conditions set forth in Schedules A through V of this Agreement apply only to customers who have purchased the VeriSign services referenced in those Schedules. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of Sections 1 through 29 and the terms of Schedules A through V, the terms of Schedules A through V shall control with regard to the applicable VeriSign service. IMPORTANT NOTICE CONCERNING BUNDLED SERVICES: If you purchase VeriSign services that are sold together as a "bundled" package (e.g., you select a Web Site package that includes both a domain name and a VeriSign Web Site, as opposed to your purchasing such services separately), termination of any part of the services will result in termination of all VeriSign services provided as part of the bundled package. Please see Section 10.d of this Agreement for more information.

3. FEES, PAYMENT AND TERM OF SERVICE. As consideration for the services you purchased, you agree to pay VeriSign the applicable service(s) fees set forth on our Web site at the time of your selection, or, if applicable, upon receipt of your invoice from VeriSign. All fees are due immediately and are non-refundable, except as otherwise expressly noted in one or more of Schedules A through V. If you qualify, we may extend payment terms to you under our Business Account Credit Program. Unless otherwise specified herein or on our Web site, each VeriSign service is for a one-year initial term and renewable thereafter for successive one to ten-year terms, as set forth during the renewal process. Any renewal of your services with us is subject to our then current terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, successful completion of any applicable authentication procedure, and payment of all applicable service fees at the time of renewal and in the case of domain name re-registration, the domain name registry's acceptance of your domain name registration. Except with respect to service to which you subscribe on a monthly basis, we will endeavor to provide you notice prior to the renewal of your services at least fifteen (15) days in advance of the renewal date. Additional payment terms may apply to the VeriSign services you purchase, as set forth in the applicable Schedules to this Agreement. We may provide you with an opportunity to "opt in" to our automatic renewal process in accordance with the instructions (and subject to your agreement to the terms and conditions pertaining to that process) on our Web site. In any event, you are solely responsible for the credit card information you provide to VeriSign and must promptly inform VeriSign of any changes thereto (e.g., change of expiration date or account number). In addition, you are solely responsible for ensuring the services are renewed. VeriSign shall have no liability to you or any third party in connection with the renewal as described herein, including, but not limited to, any failure or errors in renewing the services. You agree to pay all value added, sales and other taxes (other than taxes based on VeriSign's income) related to VeriSign services or payments made by you hereunder. All payments of fees for VeriSign services shall be made in U.S. dollars. Set up fees, if any, will become payable on the applicable effective date for the applicable VeriSign services. All sums due and payable that remain unpaid after any applicable cure period herein will accrue interest as a late charge of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less.

4. ACCURATE INFORMATION. You agree to: (1) provide certain true, current, complete and accurate information about you as required by the application process; and (2) maintain and update according to our modification procedures the information you provided to us when purchasing our services as needed to keep it current, complete and accurate.

If termination of this Agreement is due to your default hereunder, you shall bear all costs of such termination, including any reasonable costs VeriSign incurs in closing your account.

Upon the effective date of termination, VeriSign will no longer provide the bundled services to you, any licenses granted you shall immediately terminate, and you shall cease using such services immediately; provided, however, that we may, in our sole discretion and subject to your agreeing to be bound by the applicable agreement(s) and to pay the applicable fees, allow you to convert certain services included in the bundled services to stand alone services.

Your continued use of our services ratifies any unauthorized actions of your agent.

You agree that, if your use of our domain name registration services is challenged by a third party, you will be subject to the provisions specified in our dispute policy in effect at the time of the dispute. For any dispute with, or challenge by, a third party concerning or arising from your use of a domain name registered with us or your use of our domain name registration services, you agree to submit to subject matter jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction and venue of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division and the courts of your domicile.

SCHEDULE E TO SERVICE AGREEMENT SPECIAL NOTICE AND DISCLAIMER FOR MULTILINGUAL DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATIONS

In addition to the terms set forth in Schedule A, the following terms shall apply to Multilingual Domain Names ("MDN"). We currently are making MDN registration services available to you as part of our participation in a test bed ("Test Bed") being conducted by VeriSign Global Registry Services for the purpose testing proposed standards for deployment of MDN technology and to provide operational experience with those proposed standards.

WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY THAT CURRENT OR FUTURE ENCODING SCHEMES, PROTOCOLS AND OTHER MDN-ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES, WHETHER PROVIDED BY US OR OTHERWISE, WILL BE APPROVED BY INTERNET STANDARD-SETTING BODIES OR OTHERWISE SUCCESSFULLY DEPLOYED. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY THAT THE TEST BED WILL CONTINUE OR THAT OUR MDN REGISTRATION SYSTEM WILL INTEROPERATE PROPERLY WITH THE CURRENT OR FUTURE TEST BED OR THE MDN-ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES OF OTHERS.

You assume all risks inherent in the experimental nature of this service and the technologies supporting it. The encoding schemes, protocols and other MDN-enabling technologies are not within our control and are subject to change without notice. You assume all risks that such changes may impair or prevent your ability to use the MDN you have registered. You further understand and agree that we may interrupt or deny MDN registration services to you, temporarily or permanently, as a result of such changes. You further assume all risks that the Internet addressing system will not recognize an MDN you have registered or otherwise will not enable such MDN to function as an Internet address.

We may, but shall not be obligated to, make any and all modifications to an MDN registration, including without limitation changing the MDN's ASCII-based translation, that we deem necessary or appropriate for the purpose of bringing an MDN registration into conformance with evolving technical standards. Such modifications may be made without notice to you. In the event we elect to make such modifications, you agree to hold us harmless from any claims, liabilities or demands arising from such modifications. Before registering an MDN, we strongly recommend that you review and become familiar with the "Multilingual Domain Name Position Paper," published on the website of VeriSign Global Registry Services, currently located at the following url: http://www.verisign-grs.com.

You specifically acknowledge and agree that an MDN shall be considered a domain name for purposes of the Domain Name Dispute Policy and the provisions relating thereto in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Domain Name Dispute Policy, you agree that during the Test Bed we may terminate your registration of an MDN in our sole discretion without notice to you if, within 45 days of your registration, we receive a formal, written objection to the registration by any legitimate authority, including without limitation a trademark owner or governmental entity. Our right of termination under this provision shall continue until such time as:

(1) VeriSign Global Registry Services publicly announces that its Test Bed is complete; and

(2) we determine in our sole discretion that all of the encoding schemes, protocols and other MDN-enabling technologies that are used to provide your MDN registration services have been approved by appropriate standard-setting bodies.

SCHEDULE F TO SERVICE AGREEMENT ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO SERVICES IN CONNECTION WITH .BIZ TLD.

In addition to the terms set forth in Schedule A, the following terms shall apply to .biz domain names.

1. Additional Representations and Warranties. If you are applying for the registration of a domain name in the .biz top-level domain ("TLD"), you also represent and warrant that:

(i) the domain name will be used primarily for bona fide business or commercial purposes and not

(a) exclusively for personal use or (b) solely for the purposes of selling, trading or leasing the domain name for compensation, or the unsolicited offering to sell, trade or lease the domain name for compensation; and

(ii) the domain name is reasonably related to your business or intended commercial purpose at the time of registration.

2. Acknowledgment of Dispute Policies and Rules. The registrant acknowledges having read and understood and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the following documents, as they may be amended from time to time, which are hereby incorporated and made an integral part of this Agreement:

(i) The Uniform Domain Name Dispute Policy, available at http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp.htm;
(ii) The Start-up Trademark Opposition Policy ("STOP"), available at http://www.neulevel.com/countdown/stop.html;
(iii) The Restrictions Dispute Resolution Criteria and Rules, available at http://www.neulevel.com/countdown/rdrp.html.

If at the time of your application for services in the .biz TLD, any of the above policies or rules (collectively ".biz Policies") have not yet been approved by ICANN (which may mean the .biz Policies are not available for viewing via live hyperlinks above), you agree to be bound by the terms of such .biz Policies upon such approval and in the final form approved by ICANN, as posted on our Web site or the ICANN Web site (located at www.icann.org). You agree that, by maintaining the services provided hereunder (which may include registration of a domain name) after such posting of any of the ICANN approved .biz Policies, you have agreed to the terms and conditions of the same. You acknowledge that if you do not agree to the .biz Policies, you may terminate this Agreement. We will not refund any fees paid by you if you terminate your Agreement with us.

3. Registry Actions or Inactions. Our ability to provide services to you depends in part upon the provision of services by third parties, such as the .biz registry. We cannot control and will not be responsible for the actions or inactions of such third parties. For example, the .biz registry has reserved the right to deny, cancel or transfer any domain name registration under certain circumstances. You acknowledge and agree that we shall not be liable to you or any other party in connection with claims, damages, losses, expenses or costs incurred or suffered by you as a result of actions taken or not taken by third parties, including, but not limited to, the .biz registry.

4. Multiple Phases of Services. Your application or registration (whether successful or not) for any .biz registry or .biz TLD services hereunder does not guarantee, and we do not promise, that you will be approved or eligible for any other services available or that may become available through us or any third party. For example, certain services in the .biz TLD are provided in sequential phases, and participation in one phase, does not automatically qualify you for participation in other phases, and any further participation is not automatic. The .biz registry, and not Network Solutions, determines the dates and times associated with the various service phases available in the .biz TLD. You agree to review and become familiar with the information available on our Web site and on the .biz Web site concerning the various phases and descriptions of services available in connection with .biz TLD, and to regularly check for modifications and/or updates to such information, as the same may change from time to time. You agree that you are solely responsible for applying and/or registering for the service phases you desire to participate in. Additionally, you acknowledge and agree that submission of an application for domain name registration or any other services, does not guarantee that you will ultimately be the registrant for a particular domain name, even if you participated in some other service associated with the domain name, such as an intellectual property notification service or similar service.

5. Additional Acknowledgments Concerning Customer Information. You also acknowledge and agree that Network Solutions will share with the .biz registry certain information submitted by you in your application(s) for our services, as required by our agreement(s) with the .biz registry or to provide the services you have applied for. You acknowledge and agree that any information we share with the .biz registry may be used by them to fulfill the .biz registry's service obligations to us or any third party. You hereby grant us and the .biz registry a limited, royalty-free, non-exclusive worldwide license to use all of the data contained in a Trademark

6. Disclaimer Concerning Intellectual Property Notification Service. Your participation in an intellectual property notification service or similar service DOES NOT PROVIDE YOU WITH ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTIONS OR REGISTRATIONS, NOR DOES IT PROVIDE YOU WITH ANY RIGHTS TO ANY PARTICULAR DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION. THIS IS A NOTIFICATION SERVICE ONLY. EVEN IF YOU PARTICIPATE IN THIS SERVICE, YOU MUST STILL SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION SERVICES TO BE ELIGIBLE TO BECOME THE REGISTRANT FOR THE DESIRED DOMAIN NAME(S).

7. Survival of Terms. You agree that the indemnity provisions set forth in this Schedule shall survive any termination of the Agreement

8. Terms of Use for IP Claim Service. The following additional terms apply specifically to the Intellectual Property Claim Service (in this Section 8 of this Schedule, the "Claim Service") made available in the .biz TLD. For purposes of this Section 8, "Owner" shall mean the owner of a registered or common law trademark or service mark and "Agent" shall mean the duly authorized agent of an Owner (collectively "You"), and "Registrar" shall mean Network Solutions. These Terms of Use will continue to apply to all past use of the Claim Service by You, even if You are no longer using the Claim Service. You acknowledge and agree that Registrar may terminate or block Your use of all or part of the Claim Service without prior notice for any reason, including, without limitation, if Registrar believes You have engaged in conduct prohibited by these Terms of Use.

(a). The Claim Service. Registrar provides the Claim Service to holders of both registered and common law trademarks or service marks (collectively "Trademarks"). During the domain name application process, applicants for a .biz domain name ("Applicants") will be notified of an Owner's alleged intellectual property rights in a Trademark if the domain name contained in the domain name application is an exact match of the Trademark identified in an IP Claim (as defined below) submitted by Owner. You may review frequently asked questions regarding the Claim Service by reviewing our FAQs.

(b). License to Use Data / Privacy. By submitting an IP Claim, You hereby grant Registrar, as well as any of its agents or subcontractors, and the .biz registry, a limited, royalty-free, non-exclusive worldwide license to use all of the data contained in the IP Claim solely for the purposes of implementing the Claim Service, processing Your IP Claim, notifying Applicants of Your IP Claim, and for notifying You of changes to the Claim Service, and for archival purposes.

(c). The IP Claim Process. In order to submit a claim with respect to a Trademark or Trademarks ("IP Claim") through the Claim Service, You must complete an IP Claim form for each Trademark. For each IP Claim, You must submit complete contact information, representative contact information and notification details, and the details regarding the Trademark. You may specify in the representative field that an Agent may receive legal correspondence regarding the IP Claim. Once You have submitted an IP Claim, you will receive a confirmation email and a claim number. You must retain the claim number for each IP Claim You submit. Registrar will accept IP Claims until July 9, 2001, or su
