12. Special Provisions for Specific Services

12.i regarding Overdue Payments and Disposal of Managed Domain Names through "Digital Domain Exchange"

The client understands that domain names are not purchased for an indefinite period. Domain name registrations and renewals define the period during which they will be registered in the registrant's name. If renewal and payment for such is not made in a timely fashion then the domain name's registration shall subsequently be allowed to expire or be transferred to another party. All verbal, email or telephone communicated advice given by Digital Freedom Limited regarding the availability of preferred domain names is subject to confirmation at the actual time of registration. Unless previously agreed, all monies due to be paid for the required domain name(s) and their registration period, at our current rates, shall be received before any name(s) is/are registered. Names which we have registered and for which no payment has been received since such registration shall become liable to immediate disposal. Domain names which are manually registered or renewed by ourselves on behalf of a client, yet remain unpaid for by the said client, are liable to immediate disposal without notice by open market. This is commonly referred to on our websites as "Digital Domain Exchange" . Discretionary Renewals : Clients who have previously registered and paid approporiate fees for a given domain name but who have, we suspect, unintentionally failed to renew the said name may at the sole discretion of Digital Freedom Limited, have the opportunity to pay their renewal fees plus a manual processing fee for a period of between 0 and 91 days after the domain name registration should have expired. The exact period and fees are dependent upon the individual registrar and Digital Freedom Limited's relationship with them. In all instances, no later than 92 days following the end of the period for which the most recent payment has been received, any remaining opportunity to renew the domain name and/or protected interest therein shall be forfeited and the domain name will be made available on the open market via the "Digital Domain Exchange" or other platform. Any domain name(s) under the management of the company, but with overdue fees attached, may result in DNS resolution to a company 'parking page' or other nominated destination until all outstanding monies are received at a rate according to the timescale outlined above or until the domain name is disposed of. These provisions only apply to names where a) you are currently listed as the registrant and b) we have registrar level access to make real-time Payment, Contact and DNS changes. We are unable to offer any agent liaison, payment or technical support for names which have not been transferred to us and are registered with any third party agent, once the period of registration for which we have received and forwarded payment has passed. We are unable to respond to any communications regarding such domain names and all enquiries should be directed towards the original registration agent. Where monies are still owed by the client to Digital Freedom Limited for any delivered services this debt shall persist and be recoverable by ourselves.

These provisions only apply to manual domain name registrations, renewals and management services performed for the client and invoiced as such. This does NOT cover any registrations that clients may make through Box77 Direct and Wild West Domains via http://www.box77direct.com and https://www.securepaynet.net and you should consult the relevant information there, instead, if appropriate.

Positive results cannot be guaranteed. We are not responsible for the interaction with any artificially introduced or external factors which we have not approved.

Consultancy clients may be required to sign an expanded contract and/or Non Disclosure Agreement prior to any consultancy services being provided.

The Client understands and accepts that advertising exposures and/or visitors may be delivered at an uneven rate and in unequal quantities over a given period of time. We may use one or more of a number of metrics in determining and/or verifying that your allocated advertising exposures have been delivered. We are not liable to provide additional information regarding the performance of any advert's placement and delivery, other than in relation to the criteria for its successful fulfilment as outlined on a client's invoice.
