Welcome to the Yahoo! Web Hosting service (the "Service")! Your use of the Service in conjunction with a Yahoo! Web Hosting Starter, Standard, or Professional package is subject to this TOS of Service ("TOS"), the Yahoo! Privacy Policy, the Yahoo! Small Business Privacy Policy, the Yahoo! Universal Terms of Service ("UTOS"), the Yahoo! Site Guidelines, the Yahoo! Mail Additional Terms of Service, the Small Business Mail Guidelines, certain third-party agreements between You and such third party (e.g., Melbourne IT Domain Name Registration Agreement) attached hereto (all together, the "Terms of Service" or "SBTOS"), and all other documents incorporated by reference. Yahoo! reserves the right to update and change this TOS and incorporated documents from time to time without notice or acceptance by you. You can review the most current version of the TOS at any time at http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/tos/wh-tos. Please note that other Yahoo! services, outside of the Service, are governed by different Terms of Service.

2.0 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE

The Service provides Yahoo! users with access to a rich collection of on-line resources, including the ability to register or transfer their own domain and to host a complete website hosting service. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new Yahoo! Web Hosting resources, shall be subject to this TOS. In order to use the Service, you must obtain access to the World Wide Web, either directly or through devices that access web-based content, and pay any service fees associated with such access. In addition, you must provide all equipment necessary to make such connection to the World Wide Web, including a computer and modem or other access device.

3.0 DOMAIN REGISTRATION

3.1 New Domain Registration

If you register a new domain name in conjunction with the Service, the following terms also apply:

  • (a) Certain of the services that You purchase or receive from Yahoo! may be provided by one or more vendors, contractors, or affiliates selected by Yahoo! in its sole discretion. Yahoo! has chosen Internet Names Worldwide (a division of Melbourne IT Limited), or "INWW," an ICANN accredited registrar for .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info and .us domain names, to provide domain name registration services. You hereby authorize Yahoo! to acquire your selected domain name from INWW. In order to receive a domain name, you must agree to INWW's terms and conditions located at http://www.melbourneit.com.au/policies/tldtermcond.php3 for .com, .net, .org, .biz and .info domain names and http://www.melbourneit.com.au/policies/uspolicy.php3 for .us domain names, as may be amended. You understand that you are creating a separate contractual relationship between you and INWW, and that you, and not Yahoo!, are responsible for all fees, liability, and obligations in connection with that relationship. Until the Service is cancelled or otherwise terminated, Yahoo! will pay on your behalf the domain registration/renewal fees as part of the Service. You agree that your obligations to indemnify under "Indemnity" in this TOS (Section 14) includes any claim or demand associated with your domain name, any domain name pre-registration services provided through the Service, or the INWW terms and conditions.
  • (b) You will be listed as the registrant and administrative contact in connection with Your domain name, unless You choose another registrant and administrative contact. If You choose a registrant and administrative contact other than Yourself, such person(s) must enter into an agreement directly with the INWW and, additionally, will be bound by this TOS in addition to You. You hereby authorize Yahoo! to list Yahoo! as the billing contact, technical contact, and name server in connection with Your domain name and to take any actions Yahoo! deems appropriate in those capacities. However, upon termination of the Service, Yahoo! may immediately cease acting in those capacities and reserves the right to transfer Your account to INWW for collection of past-due amounts. In the event of such transfer, You authorize INWW to serve as the billing contact, technical contact, and name server in connection with Your domain name, and to take any actions the INWW deems appropriate in those capacities. Upon termination of the Service, Yahoo! will not be responsible for forwarding any notices, emails, or other correspondence to You or taking any other actions in connection with Your domain name. You will be solely responsible for all ongoing fees, as well as removing Yahoo! as the billing, technical contact, and name servers in connection with Your domain name, unless Yahoo! notifies You otherwise.

3.2 Using a Preexisting Domain Name

If you choose to use a domain name under the Service that you have already registered with another provider, you must request that the original registrar change the name servers for the domain name as designated by Yahoo!, on your behalf.

PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE A DOMAIN NAME UNDER THE SERVICE THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY REGISTERED WITH ANOTHER PROVIDER, THE FEES PAYABLE TO YAHOO! FOR THE SERVICE DO NOT INCLUDE REGISTRATION FEES OWED BY YOU TO YOUR PRIOR PROVIDER, AND YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL ONGOING FEES FOR THAT DOMAIN NAME WITH YOUR CURRENT PROVIDER, INCLUDING RENEWAL FEES. ADDITIONALLY, IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE A DOMAIN NAME PREVIOUSLY REGISTERED THROUGH VERISIGN/NETWORK SOLUTIONS, YOU HEREBY AUTHORIZE YAHOO! TO SUBMIT A REQUEST TO VERISIGN/NETWORK SOLUTIONS TO CHANGE THE NAME SERVERS AND/OR TECHNICAL CONTACT TO YAHOO! ON YOUR BEHALF. SUCH REQUEST BY YAHOO! WILL NOT BE FINALIZED UNTIL YOU PROVIDE AUTHORIZATION TO VERISIGN/NETWORK SOLUTIONS.

3.3 Expired Domains

Should Your Service be terminated, and You let Your domain registration lapse, Your registration will expire and Yahoo! may, at our discretion, elect to assume the registration for our own account, delete it, or sell it to a third party. You acknowledge and agree that Your right and interest in a domain name ceases upon its expiration, and that any expired domain name may be made available for registration by a third party.

4.0 REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS

If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or Yahoo! has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Yahoo! has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof). You also understand and agree that the service may include certain communications from Yahoo!, such as service announcements, administrative messages and the Yahoo!

The refund and charge will both be based on the number of days remaining in the monthly term. The anniversary date of service will not change. For any downgrade, your credit card will be refunded a pro-rata amount for the days remaining in the monthly term. Fees may not be credited towards other Services.
