2. SELECTION OF A DOMAIN NAME. Registrant must agree to be bound by the terms of the Datacom Registration Agreement and represents that, to the best of the his/her 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 in violation of the Datacom Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) or for any unlawful purpose.
3. POLICY.

DISPUTE AND COMPLAINT RESOLUTION
15.

Registry provides registrant contact information through our Whois database on the site.
Datacom has adopted the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy established by ICANN and encourages third parties to resolve disputes with registrants through the process described in the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy. Please refer to Sections 6 and 7 of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy regarding our involvement in a dispute between a registrant and a third party. The UDRP is a fee-based regime and Datacom invites Complainants and Registrants to try to resolve concerns amicably.
If you are unable to resolve your concerns through direct contact and believe the domain is being used in violation of the Datacom Acceptable Use Policy you may lodge a complaint with the Datacom’s Abuse team. Complaints will be reviewed in accordance with the AUP Policies and Procedures.
DOMAIN NAME TRANSFER POLICY
16. Before commencing a change of Registrant process, all fees owed by the current Registrant must be paid in full.

Further, the Registrant is responsible for all information submitted by its agent. Datacom will not cancel this Agreement, or refund any fees, because of any errors or omissions by the agent in the registration process or thereafter (e.g. if such agent provides incorrect Registrant Information), as such apparent authority will suffice to bind the Registrant.
