1-SERVICES.
Domain Name Registration Services. Google LLC is an accredited registrar with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (“ICANN”) for Top Level Domain Names (“TLDs”). We are bound by the Registrar Accreditation Agreement with ICANN and an additional agreement with the applicable Registry Operator for any TLD for which we offer domain name registration. Our domain name registrations are only for limited terms, which end on either (i) expiration date communicated to you, subject to Registry policies, or (ii) cancellation of the Registered Name registrations by you or us. Domain name registrations are not effective until the Registry Operator enters the domain into the Registry database.
Domain Name Availability. We do not guarantee the availability of a domain name, even if our system indicates that the domain name is available. You agree that we are not liable or responsible for any errors, inaccuracies, omissions or any other actions by the Registry arising out of or related to a request to register, renew, modify the settings for, or transfer of a domain name registration. Our liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or death or personal injury caused by negligence or willful misconduct remains unaffected.
Registration Acceptance. We may accept or reject your application for registration or renewal for any reason at our sole discretion. We are not liable or responsible for any third party’s errors, omissions or other actions arising out of or related to your domain name application, registration, or renewal. Any liability or responsibility for our vicarious agents remains unaffected.
Account. You must have an Account to use the Services, and are responsible for the information provided to create the Account, the security of passwords for the Account, and for any use of the Account that you have culpably caused. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of the Account or the passwords for the Account, you will notify Google as promptly as possible. We are not responsible for any failure to comply with this clause, or for any delay in shutting down your Account after a reported breach of security to Google. If your Account is disabled, we may also disable your Google Domains Account, suspend the Services, block transfer requests, or delete the Services.
Third Party Services. We may offer certain Third Party Services (e.g. services that register TLDs for which we are not an accredited registrar or services that provide private or proxy registration). The Third Party Services are subject to separate terms and conditions in addition to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between such Third Party Services terms and conditions and this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will govern.
Other Google Services. We may offer Other Google Services. The Other Google Services are subject to separate terms and conditions in addition to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. If you enable sharing access with another user through the Google Domains Site, sharing may be applied to the Other Google Services.
Modifications.
To the Services. We’re constantly developing new technologies and features to improve our Services. As part of the continual evolution of the Services, we may, either partially or in its entirety, modify, adapt or change the Services’ features, the user interface and design and any other aspect related to the Services. These modifications may include: (i) adding or removing tools, features or functionality available from time to time through the Services, and (ii) adding new services to the “Services” definition from time to time, the use of which may be contingent upon your agreement to additional terms, or discontinuing old services. We may also change our Services for the following reasons:
to adapt to new technologies;
to reflect an increase or decrease in the number of users who use a particular feature or service;
to reflect changes in the licenses and partnerships we have with third parties;
to prevent abuse or harm; or
to address legal, regulatory, safety, security, or operability issues.
If we make material changes that negatively impact your use of our Services or if we stop offering a service, we’ll provide you with notice except in urgent situations such as preventing abuse or harm, responding to legal requirements, or addressing security and operability issues.
For EEA-based consumers: Please note that if we make a material change that negatively impacts your ability to use or access the Services or if we stop offering the Services, we’ll provide you with reasonable advance notice by email, if available, including a description of the changes, when they’ll take place, and your right to end your Agreement with us if our modifications create more than a minor negative impact, except in urgent situations such as preventing abuse or harm, responding to legal requirements, or addressing security and operability issues. We maintain a rigorous product research program, so before we change or stop offering a service, we carefully consider your interests as a user, your reasonable expectations, and the potential impact on you and others. We only change or stop offering services for valid reasons. We’ll also give you an opportunity to transfer out your domain names from your Google Domains Account, as set out in Section 5 below, and subject to applicable law, registry requirements, and policies.
To the Agreement. We may make changes to this Agreement, from time to time, (1) to reflect changes to our Services or how we do business — for example, when we add new services, features, technologies, pricing, or benefits (or remove old ones) —, (2) for legal, regulatory, or security reasons, or (3) to prevent abuse or harm. This also includes changes required by ICANN, ICANN consensus policies or Registry Operators. If we make a material change, we will provide you with notice of such material changes, except (i) where we launch a new service or feature, or (ii) in urgent situations, such as preventing ongoing abuse or responding to legal requirements. If you do not agree to the revised Agreement, you can transfer out your domain name in accordance with Section 5 and stop using the Services.
2-PAYMENT TERMS.
Fees. You will pay all Fees due for all services purchased from Google. Subject to any right of withdrawal which you may be entitled to (see Section 17 below), all Fees are non-refundable unless otherwise noted in the refund policy.
Taxes. You are responsible for any Taxes, and you will pay us for the Services without any reduction for Taxes. If we are obligated to collect or pay Taxes, the Taxes will be charged to you, unless you provide us with a timely and valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. If under the applicable taxing legislations, you are required to pay taxes on your own and undertake statutory compliance, then you shall do so on your own account and cost.
Incomplete Payment. If we are unable to charge all Fees through your selected payment method, or if we receive notification of a chargeback, reversal, payment dispute, or are charged a penalty for any fee we previously charged to your selected payment method, we may pursue all available lawful remedies to obtain payment, including immediately canceling any Services registered or renewed on your behalf, or returning the domain name to the auction pool.
Price Changes. We reserve the right to change (i.e. increase or decrease) our Fees from time to time. Any changes to our Fees will only apply to the next payment due from you following reasonable notice to you.
3-REGISTRANT INFORMATION.
Protection of Personal Data.
To the extent permitted by ICANN and applicable law, Google may use the publicly available information that you provided. We will retain your information as directed by ICANN Data Retention Specification and any ICANN consensus policies.
If you disclose any third party individual’s personal information, you represent to us that you have provided your privacy policy to that individual and obtained that individual’s consent to disclosing personal information to us, in compliance with the requirements of the applicable law, the ICANN Registrar Accreditation Agreement, and any ICANN consensus policies.
Registrant Information.
You must provide the following information to register a domain name (“Registrant Information”):
Registered Name contact information, including name, postal address, email address, and voice telephone number of the Registered Name Holder;
Contact information for the Registered Name’s administrative and technical contact, including name, postal address, email address, and voice telephone number, which may be identical to the Registered Name Holder;
Billing contact for the Registered Name.
You can access and change the Registrant Information by logging into your Google Domains Account.
Provision of Registrant Information to Third Parties.
ICANN Required Disclosures.
Domain name registration requires sharing the Registrant Information, in whole or in part, with the applicable Registry Operator and with ICANN. As required by ICANN, this information must also be made publicly available by means of WHOIS, and the Registry Operator may also be required to make this information publicly available by WHOIS. Google and the Registry Operator may be required to archive this information with a third-party escrow service. The registrant consents to and gives permission for all such required disclosures. Further, the Registrant represents and warrants that, if the Registrant is providing information about a third party, Registrant has notified the third party of the required disclosures and the purpose for the disclosures and the Registrant has obtained the third party’s consent to such disclosure.
ICANN may establish or modify the policies or guidelines that relate to the amount and type of contact information that we may or must make available to the public or to private entities, and the manner in which such information is made available.
Third-Party Service Providers. You consent to us providing some of the Registrant Information to Third Party Services providers as necessary to facilitate the provision of those Third Party Services that you opt into.
Legal Process. We may also disclose Registrant Information to the extent required by applicable law or Legal Process.
Proxy Registration Service. If you elect to use a proxy registration service, during the period in which such service is enabled and in accordance to the proxy registration service’s terms and conditions, WHOIS will make publicly available the third-party registration proxy service provider’s name and contact information instead of your contact information. In such a case, the proxy registration service will be the Registered Name Holder of record, although you are still subject to liability for use of the Registered Name.
4-YOUR OBLIGATIONS.
Accuracy of Information
The Registrant Information must be accurate and up to date. Google Domains Domain Name Registration Agreement.
Within 5 business days of when any Registrant Information or any information you provided changes, you must correct and update.
If you fail to comply with the above or fail to respond for over 15 days to our inquiries regarding the accuracy of your information, then you will be in material breach of this Agreement and we may suspend and/or cancel the Services or your Google Domains Account.
Third-Party Registration
If you intend to license the use of a Registered Name to a third party, you are the deemed Registered Name Holder of record and you remain responsible for providing and updating your own full contact information and accurate administrative and technical contact information to facilitate timely resolution of any problems that arise in connection with the Registered Name.
A Registered Name Holder that licenses a Registered Name under this Section 4.b. is liable for harm caused by wrongful use of the Registered Name, unless it discloses within 7 days the licensee’s identity and current contact information (as provided by the licensee) to the party that provides the Registered Name Holder with reasonable evidence of actionable harm.
If you resell domain names, you will notify any individuals whose personal information you have obtained about ICANN’s policy regarding the possible uses of their personal information. You must also obtain consent, and evidence of consent, from those individuals for such use of the personal information they provide.

Transfer to Other Registrars. for more https://amazeu.online/
Your transfer of Registered Names will be governed by the ICANN Transfer Policy, including the Registrar Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy, and Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, as these policies may be modified from time to time.
In order for you to transfer your Registered Name(s) to a registrar other than us (“Gaining Registrar”), you must access your Google Domains Account, unlock the Registered Name, and obtain the EPP “AuthCode” which is required to transfer Registered Names in an EPP Registry Operator. The transfer itself must be initiated by the Gaining Registrar. Subject to the ICANN Transfer Policy, each registrar has its own transfer process and we are not responsible for any issues with the Gaining Registrar’s system. Once you have successfully initiated a transfer request through the Gaining Registrar, you must approve the request.
You may not transfer a Registered Name (i) within 60 days of initial registration; (ii) within 60 days of a transfer; (iii) if there is a dispute regarding the identity of the Registered Name Holder; (iv) if you fail to pay Fees; (v) if the Registered Name is expired; or (vi) if a Registered Name is subject to a lock due to UDRP, URS or court proceedings.
You acknowledge that we will not prohibit you from transferring your Registered Name to other registrars within 60 days of a Change of Registrant.
We will follow the procedures for both gaining and losing registrars as outlined in the ICANN Transfer Policy. During the transfer period, if the domain name expires, you will need to reinstate the transfer request following a renewal or redemption of the domain name. You may be required to resubmit a transfer request if there is a communication failure.
Records. You will maintain your own records appropriate to document and prove the initial domain name registration date. Google Domains Domain Name Registration Agreement.
Transfers to Google. We may also transfer domain names registered through us from a third-party accredited registrar or reseller to Google LLC’s accreditation, or vice versa, in order to more effectively provide Services, or otherwise, in our sole discretion.
