The Registrant acknowledges that utilization of the reactivation process, if any, may involve additional fees. The Registrant acknowledges and agrees that the Registrar may make available the expired domain name(s) to third parties, and may auction off the rights to expired domain name(s) (the auction beginning close to the end or after the end of the reactivation period), and/or the expired domain name(s) may be re-registered by any party at any time. After the re-activation period, the Registrant agrees that the Registrar may either (A) discontinue the domain name registration services at any time thereafter; (B) continue to provide for the registration services and re-activate the domain name; or (C) if the domain name is auctioned off to a third party, the Registrar may transfer the domain name to such third party.

This grace period will allow the Registrant, the Registrar, and/or the Registry and Domain Provider(s) to detect and correct any mistaken deletion. During the Redemption Period, the deleted domain name will be placed on a "Redemption Period" status which effectively means that the name will be removed from the zone and the domain name will stop working and would appear offline. The Registrant can redeem its domain name during the Redemption Period, subject to payment of the "Redemption Fees" set out in Table A of Schedule 1. A party requesting for redemption is required to provide sufficient identification as may be directed by the Registrar for verification purposes. In the event the Registrant fails to redeem the domain name upon expiry of the Redemption Period, the Registry and Domain Provider(s), on the instructions of the Registrar, shall be entitled to delete the domain name and/or transfer the domain name to a third party. Transfer of Domain Names The Registrant may transfer its domain name during or before the Renewal Grace Period subject to the Registrar's Domain Name Transfer Policy as may be amended and supplemented by the Registrar from time to time. During the registration, renewal or transfer process, name servers will be requested by the Registrar while the domain name is being registered, renewed or transferred. If a name server is not provided by the Registrant during the registration process, the domain name will be redirected to a page displaying the "Under Construction" sign; and at the expiry of the Initial Term and prior to renewal, the domain name will be redirected to a page displaying the "Domain Expired" sign ("Parked Domain"). Such a redirection page(s) may contain advertisements and the Registrant acknowledges that the Registrar is not responsible and shall not be held accountable for any such advertisement(s). By entering into this Agreement, the Registrant agrees that the Registrar is entitled to redirect the domain name to a Parked Domain and its associated contents in these situations at no cost to the Registrant. Transfer of Domain Names The Registrant represents and warrants that at the time of application and at all times thereafter: the desired domain name does not infringe any registered or unregistered trademark or any other intellectual property rights or any other rights of any third party; the use of the domain name shall be for legal and lawful purposes and is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any other relevant rules and policies which may be amended by the Registrar from time to time and in accordance with national and international laws and regulations; the Registrant Information and any other information submitted and/or provided is complete, true and accurate and the Registrant will keep the Registrant Information updated at all times; and the domain name applied for is valid and is in compliance with all relevant applicable laws.
