LINK Kubernetes Service LKS (SLA)

Additional Definitions

Link Kubernetes Service (LKS) Cluster" A Kubernetes cluster is divided into two components:

• Control plane nodes provide the core Kubernetes services and orchestration of application workloads.
• Nodes run application workloads.

"Kubernetes API Server" When you create an LINK Kubernetes Service (LKS) Cluster, a control plane is automatically created and configured. The control plane includes the API Server that exposes the underlying Kubernetes API.

"Availability Zone" is a fault-isolated area within an LINK region, providing redundant power, cooling, and networking.

Uptime Calculation and Service Levels for LKS Clusters that use Availability Zones

"Maximum Available Minutes" is the total accumulated minutes of an Availability Zone enabled LKS Cluster to the time Customer has initiated an action to stop or delete the LKS Cluster during an Applicable Period.

"Downtime" is the total accumulated minutes that are part of Maximum Available Minutes with no connectivity to Kubernetes API Server from provisioned Availability Zone enabled LKS Cluster in the region.

"Uptime Percentage" for Availability Zone enabled LKS Clusters is calculated as Maximum Available Minutes less Downtime divided by Maximum Available Minutes in an Applicable Period for a given LINK subscription. Uptime Percentage is represented by the following formula:Cluster" A Kubernetes cluster is divided into two components:

The following Service Levels and Service Credits are applicable to Customer’s use of LKS Clusters that have Availability Zones enabled in the region:

Internet Protocol (IP):

Primary network protocol used on the Internet.

Network firewall:

A firewall appliance attached to a network for the purpose of controlling traffic flows to and from single or multiple hosts or subnet(s).

Network topology:

The layout of connections (LINKs, nodes, etc.) of a computer network.

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP): An Internet standard for electronic mail (e- mail) transmission across Internet Protocol (IP) networks.

Virtual private network (VPN): A network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or individual users with private, secure access to their organization"s network.

Overview

LINK operates network firewalls between the Internet and its private internal network to create a secure operating environment for LINK"s computer and network resources. A firewall is just one element of a layered approach to network security.

Purpose

This policy governs how the firewalls will filter Internet traffic to mitigate the risks and losses associated with security threats to LINK"s network and information systems.The firewall will (at minimum) perform the following security services:

• Access control between the trusted internal network and untrusted external networks
• Block unwanted traffic as determined by the firewall ruleset
• Hide vulnerable internal systems from the Internet
• Hide information, such as system names, network topologies, and internal user IDs, from the Internet
• Log traffic to and from the internal network
• Provide robust authentication
• Provide virtual private network (VPN) connectivity

Policy Detail

All network firewalls, installed and implemented, must conform to the current standards as determined by LINK"s IT Department. Unauthorized or non-standard equipment is subject to immediate removal, confiscation, and/or termination of network connectivity without notice.The approach adopted to define firewall rulesets is that all services will be denied by the firewall unless expressly permitted in this policy.

• Outbound " allows all Internet traffic to authorized groups
• All traffic is authorized by Internet Protocol (IP) address and port The firewalls will provide:
• Packet filtering " selective passing or blocking of data packets as they pass through a network interface. The most often used criteria are source and destination address, source and destination port, and protocol.
• Application proxy " every packet is stopped at the proxy firewall and examined and compared to the rules configured into the firewall.
• Stateful Inspection " a firewall technology that monitors the state of active connections and uses this information to determine which network packets to allow through the firewall.The firewalls will protect against:
• IP spoofing attacks " the creation of IP packets with a forged source IP address with the purpose of concealing the identity of the sender or impersonating another computing system.
• Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks " the goal is to flood the victim with overwhelming amounts of traffic and the attacker does not care about receiving responses to the attack packets.
• Any network information utility that would reveal information about the LINK domain.A change control process is required before any firewall rules are modified. Prior to implementation, LINK network administrators are required to have the modifications approved by the Director of IT or the VP of IT.

All firewall implementations must adopt the position of "least privilege" and deny all inbound traffic by default. The ruleset should be opened incrementally to only allow permissible traffic.Firewall rulesets and configurations require periodic review to ensure they afford the required levels of protection:LINK must review all network firewall rulesets and configurations during the initial implementation process and periodically thereafter.Firewall rulesets and configurations must be backed up frequently to alternate storage (not on the same device). Multiple generations must be captured and retained, to preserve the integrity of the data, should restoration be required.Access to rulesets and configurations and backup media must be restricted to those responsible for administration and review.

Responsibilities

The IT Department is responsible for implementing and maintaining LINK firewalls, as well as for enforcing and updating this policy. Logon access to the firewall will be restricted to a primary firewall administrator and designees as assigned. Password construction for the firewall will be consistent with the strong password creation practices outlined in the LINK Password Policy.The specific guidance and direction for information systems security is the responsibility of IT. Accordingly, IT will manage the configuration of LINK firewalls and will be responsible for:

• Retention of the firewall rules
• Patch Management
• Review the firewall logs for:
• System errors
• Blocked web sites
• Attacks
• Sending alerts to the LINK network administrators in the event of attacks or system errors
• Backing up the firewalls

2.4 " INTERNET

Definitions

Internet: A global system interconnecting computers and computer networks. The computers and networks are owned separately by a host of organizations, government agencies, companies, and colleges.Intranet: A private network for communications and sharing of information that, like the Internet, is based on Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), but is accessible only to authorized employees within an organization. An organization"s intranet is usually protected from external access by a firewall.User: An individual or automated application or process that is authorized access to the resource by the system owner, in accordance with the system owner"s procedures and rules.World Wide Web (www): A system of Internet hosts that supports documents formatted in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) that contains links to other documents (hyperlinks) and to audio, video, and graphic images. Individuals can access the Web with special applications called browsers, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.

2.5 PASSWORDS

Definitions

Application Administration Account: Any account that is for the administration of an application (i.e., SQL database administrator, etc.).Password: A string of characters which serves as authentication of a person"s identity, which may be used to grant or deny access to private or shared data.Strong Password: A strong password is a password that is not easily guessed. It is normally constructed of a sequence of characters, numbers, and special characters, depending on the capabilities of the operating system. Typically, the longer the password, the stronger it is. It should never be a name, dictionary word in any language, an acronym, a proper name, a number, or be linked to any personal information about the password owner such as a birth date, social security number, and so on.

Overview

Passwords are an important aspect of computer security. They are the front line of protection for user accounts. A poorly chosen password may result in the compromise of LINK"s entire corporate network. As such, all LINK employees or volunteers/directors (including contractors and vendors with access to LINK systems) are responsible for taking the appropriate steps, as outlined below, to select and secure their passwords.

Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to establish a standard for the creation of strong passwords, the protection of those passwords, and the frequency of change.

Audience

This policy applies to all personnel or volunteers/directors who have, or are responsible for, an account (or any form of access that supports or requires a password) on any system that resides at any LINK facility, has access to the LINK network, or stores any non-public LINK information.

Policy Detail

User Network Passwords

• If the security of an account is in question, the password must be changed immediately. In the event passwords are found or discovered, the following steps must be taken:
• Take control of the passwords and protect them.
• Report the discovery to IT
• Users cannot circumvent password entry with an auto logon, application remembering, embedded scripts, or hard coded passwords in client software. Exceptions may be made for specific applications (like automated backup processes) with the approval of IT. For an exception to be approved, there must be a procedure to change the passwords.
• PCs must not be left unattended without enabling a password-protected screensaver or logging off the device.
• If the security of an account is in question, the password must be changed immediately. In the event passwords are found or discovered, the following steps must be taken:
• Security tokens (i.e. smartcards, RSA hardware tokens, etc.) must be returned upon demand or upon termination of the relationship with LINK.Application Development StandardsApplication developers must ensure their programs follow security precautions in this policy and industry standards.

2.6 " SERVER SECURITYDefinitions

File Transfer Protocol (FTP): Is a standard Internet protocol for transmitting files between computers on the Internet.

Overview

The servers at LINK provide a wide variety of services to internal and external users, and many servers also store or process sensitive information for LINK. These hardware devices are vulnerable to attacks from outside sources which require due diligence by the IT Department to secure the hardware against such attacks.

Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to define standards and restrictions for the base configuration of internal server equipment owned and/or operated by or on LINK"s internal network(s) or related technology resources via any means. This can include, but is not limited to, the following:

• Internet servers (FTP servers, Web servers, Mail servers, Proxy servers, etc.)
• Application servers
• Database servers
• File servers
• Print servers
• Third-party appliances that manage network resourcesThis policy also covers any server device outsourced, co-located, or hosted at external/third-party service providers, if that equipment resides in the LINK.org domain or appears to be owned by LINK.

The overriding goal of this policy is to reduce operating risk. Adherence to the LINK Server Security Policy will:

• Eliminate configuration errors and reduce server outages.
• Reduce undocumented server configuration changes that tend to open up security vulnerabilities.
• Facilitate compliance and demonstrate that the controls are working.
• Protect LINK data, networks, and databases from unauthorized use and/or malicious attackTherefore, all server equipment that is owned and/or operated by LINK must be provisioned and operated in a manner that adheres to company defined processes for doing so.

This policy applies to all LINK company-owned, company operated, or company controlled server equipment. Addition of new servers, within LINK facilities, will be managed at the sole discretion of IT. Non-sanctioned server installations, or use of unauthorized equipment that manage networked resources on LINK property, is strictly forbidden.

Policy DetailResponsibilities

LINK"s VP of IT has the overall responsibility for the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of LINK data.Other IT staff members, under the direction of the Director of IT, are responsible for following the procedures and policies within IT.Supported TechnologyAll servers will be centrally managed by LINK"s IT Department and will utilize approved server configuration standards. Approved server configuration standards will be established and maintained by LINK"s IT Department.

All established standards and guidelines for the LINK IT environment are documented in an IT storage location.

• The following outlines LINK"s minimum system requirements for server equipment supporting LINK"s systems.
• Operating System (OS) configuration must be in accordance with approved procedures.
• Unused services and applications must be disabled, except were approved by the Director of IT or the VP of IT.
• Access to services must be logged or protected though appropriate access control methods.
• Security patches must be installed on the system as soon as possible through
• LINK"s configuration management processes.
• Trust relationships allow users and computers to be authenticated (to have their identity verified) by an authentication authority. Trust relationships should be evaluated for their inherent security risk before implementation.
• Authorized users must always use the standard security principle of "Least Required Access" to perform a function.
• System administration and other privileged access must be performed through a secure connection. Root is a user account that has administrative privileges which allows access to any file or folder on the system. Do not use the root account when a non-privileged account will do.
• All LINK servers are to be in access-controlled environments.
• All employees are specifically prohibited from operating servers in environments with uncontrolled access (i.e., offices).

This policy is complementary to any previously implemented policies dealing specifically with security and network access to LINK"s network.

It is the responsibility of any employee of LINK who is installing or operating server equipment to protect LINK"s technology-based resources (such as LINK data, computer systems, networks, databases, etc.) from unauthorized use and/or malicious attack that could result in the loss of member information, damage to critical applications, loss of revenue, and damage to LINK"s public image. Procedures will be followed to ensure resources are protected.

2.7 " SERVER VIRTUALIZATION

Definitions

Virtualization: The creation of a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, such as an operating system, a server, a storage device, or network resources.

Overview

This policy encompasses all new and existing workloads.

Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to establish server virtualization requirements that define the acquisition, use, and management of server virtualization technologies. This policy provides controls that ensure that Enterprise issues are considered, along with business objectives, when making server virtualization related decisions.Platform Architecture policies, standards, and guidelines will be used to acquire, design, implement, and manage all server virtualization technologies.

Policy Detail

LINK"s VP of IT has the overall responsibility for ensuring that policies are followed in order to establish contracts and the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of LINK data.Other IT staff members, under the direction of the Director of IT, are responsible for following the procedures and policies within IT.LINK"s legacy IT practice was to dedicate one physical server to a single workload. The result of this practice was excessive server underutilization, an ever- expanding data center footprint, and excessive data center power consumption.Server virtualization software allows the consolidation of new and existing workloads onto high capacity x86 servers. Consolidating workloads onto high capacity x86 servers allows LINK to reduce the x86 server inventory, which in turn decreases the data center footprint and data center power consumption.LINK will migrate all new and existing workloads from physical servers to virtual machines. Hardware will be retired at such time as planned by IT management or required by incompatibility with Operating Systems (OS) and/or workload specific software updates.

Server Virtualization Requirements:

• Support industry-wide open-standards
• Embedded security technology, such as, Trusted Platform Module (TPM) or other technologies
• Single centralized management console
• Support industry standard management tools
• Support industry standard backup and recovery tools
• Interoperate with other platform technologies
• Support industry standard x86 hardware
• Support industry standard storage
• Support unmodified guest operating systems
• Functionality to support virtual server management network isolation
• Migrate running guests without interruption
• Add disks to a running guest
• Automatically detect a hardware failure and restart guests on another physical server
• Functionality to configure role-based access for the administrative console
• Support Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) for authentication and authorization for administrative console
• Encrypt all intra host and administrative console traffic
• Integrated graphical Central Processing Unit (CPU), memory, disk, and network performance monitoring, alerting, and historical reporting for hosts and guests
• Other industry standard or best in class features as required

2.8 Websites

The internet contains over 1.7 billion websites, and every one of them is hosted by at least one web server. A web server can host hundreds of sites on one physical machine, but depending on the way it"s hosted, just one hacked website can be the downfall for all sites on the server. Security for web hosters is more important than ever as more customers depend on your cybersecurity best practices and monitoring to find ongoing attacks. Web servers usually host several business sites, which store customer data, so they are common targets for attackers.

LINK"s makes sure that security policies for websites are strictly followed by taking into consideration the below guidelines:

A- Install and Configure a Web Application Firewall

A Web Application Firewall (WAF) blocks many common attacks sent through web forms. It runs on layer 7 of the OSI model, so it works differently than a typical hardware firewall. It"s similar to a reverse proxy where all traffic must pass through the WAF before it reaches the webserver. The WAF analyzes HTTP traffic and blocks any suspicious trafficUsing a WAF, LINK can block cross-site forgeries (CSF), cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injections, and more. For example, if an attacker sends a malformed SQL string using a website"s contact form, the WAF detects it and blocks it. A good WAF will display statistics and information about blocked attacks so that the web host can identify vulnerabilities on customer sites.

B- Use SFTP Instead of FTP

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) transfers data in cleartext, leaving customers at risk of man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks and data eavesdropping. Instead of hosting an FTP server for customers to upload and share files, use Secure FTP (SFTP) to transfer any files over an encrypted channel.

C- Back-Up Data on Servers

Site owners make mistakes sometimes, and they then need their sites restored to a specific date. Web hosting customers rely on web hosts to have good backups and a reasonable retention policy (e.g., 30 days). Backups are a component in disaster recovery and can be used to recover data at request from customers or restore a server, should it become a target in a sophisticated attack. For example, a successful injection of ransomware on a shared hosting server could destroy data across all customer sites. Backups could be used to recover instead of experiencing a critical security incident that can"t be remediated quickly.

D- Use Whitelisting for Maintenance IPs

Web hosters know that several customer IPs will be used to access authorized areas of their account (e.g., cPanel.Learn more about cpanel security). Instead of allowing open access from any IP address, customers should be advised to whitelist IP addresses so that only approved IPs can access administration areas of their account. The same should be done for the server itself. Administrators should use whitelisting of maintenance IPs for remote access using SSH.

E- SSL/TLS Connections

Every connection to the web host should be encrypted to protect users from man-in-the-middle attacks. Users who connect to sites from public Wi-Fi open themselves to data being intercepted and stolen. By forcing an encrypted connection to the server, using a cryptographically secure cipher, user data is safe from eavesdropping and account compromise.

F- Antivirus and Antimalware Protections

When you host hundreds of sites on one server, you allow site owners to upload any file to their hosting account. These files could contain malware either purposely or unknowingly. Malware stored on the hosting server could affect other sites on the server if an administrator accidentally executes the file, or if an attacker would obtain elevated privileges on the host and will execute the file. Using antivirus for Linux server and antimalware applications, the host can detect malicious files immediately and either clean the file or block it from being uploaded.

G- Remove Unused Applications Not Used for Hosting

When the hosting application is installed on the Linux server (e.g., Apache), it"s usually configured with default settings, plugins, and possibly other third-party applications. Any additional application on the server opens risks of vulnerabilities either from errors in code or from allowing the application to run unpatched. Instead of leaving them installed on the server, it"s better to remove any application not necessary for hosting customer sites.

H- Force Password Changes

Users, especially those with high-level privileges, should change their passwords frequently. If users keep the same password indefinitely, an attacker with access to those credentials could have access to the account for years, potentially. By forcing password changes on accounts, the attack window is reduced. For example, forcing users to change their passwords every 30 days gives an attacker only 30 days maximum to compromise and use the account.

Special Safeguard TLDs include: .army, .navy, .airforce

9. Third Party Beneficiary. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Registry Operator for any TLD in which you register a domain name is and shall be an intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement. As such the parties to this agreement acknowledge and agree that the third party beneficiary rights of the Registry Operator have vested and that the Registry Operator has relied on its third party beneficiary rights under this Agreement in agreeing to LINK being a registrar for the TLD. Third party beneficiary rights of the Registry Operator shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

10. Variable and Non-Uniform Pricing. You acknowledge, understand and agree that certain domain names in certain TLDs are established by Registry Policies to be variably priced (i.e. standard vs. premium names) and/or may have non-uniform renewal registration pricing (such that the Fee for a domain name registration renewal may differ from other domain names in the same TLD, e.g. renewal registration for one domain may be $100.00 and $33.00 for a different domain name).

3. FEES AND PAYMENTS

GENERAL TERMS, INCLUDING AUTOMATIC RENEWAL TERMS

You agree to pay any and all prices and fees due for Services purchased or obtained at this Site at the time you order the Services. LINK expressly reserves the right to change or modify its prices and fees at any time, and such changes or modifications shall be posted online at this Site and effective immediately without need for further notice to you. If you have purchased or obtained Services for a period of months or years, changes or modifications in prices and fees shall be effective when the Services in question come up for renewal as further described below. Unless otherwise specifically noted (for reasons such as those highlighted in Section 2(x) above), the renewal price for any domain name in any TLD will be the same as the list (non-sale) price shown when you search for and select a domain, and again in the cart prior to purchase. For example, if the list price is $9.99, and a different renewal price is not specifically identified, then the renewal price is also $9.99. Likewise, if a domain name has a sale price of $8.99, with the list (non-sale) price shown (as a strike-through) at $9.99, the renewal price will be $9.99*. * Renewal price subject to change prior to actual date of renewal. For all other terms and conditions relating to fees, payment, refund and billing, etc. applicable to the Services offered under the scope of this Agreement, please refer to the "Fees and Payments" section of our Universal Terms of Service. (B) DOMAIN NAME RENEWAL TERMS_ When you register a domain name, you will have the following renewal options:

1. Automatic Renewal. Automatic Renewal is the default setting. Domain names will automatically renew, for a period equivalent to the length of your original domain name registration, and payment will be taken from the Payment Method you have on file with LINK, at LINK"s then current Thus, if you have chosen to register your domain name for one (1) year, LINK will automatically renew it for one (1) year. If you have chosen to register your domain name for two (2) years, LINK will automatically renew it for two (2) years, and so on. If you wish to change your automatic renewal term to a different period from your original term, as of 16 July 2020, you may manually renew the domain registration to establish a new default automatic renewal term for the domain.

2. Manual Renewal. If you have elected to turn off automatic renewal and cancel the product (i.e., cancel the domain name registration) effective at expiration of the then current term, you may nonetheless elect to manually renew the domain name at anytime prior to its expiration date by logging into your Account Manager and manually implementing the renewal or by calling customer service (should you in fact want the domain name to be renewed). If you fail to manually implement the renewal before the expiration date, the domain name will be cancelled and you will no longer have use of that.

All renewals will be subject to the terms of this Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time, and you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement (as amended) for all renewed domains. Domain name renewals will be non-refundable. In the event that we are unable to automatically renew your domain name for the renewal option selected for any reason, we may automatically renew your domain name for a period less than your original registration period to the extent necessary for the transaction to succeed. If for any reason LINK is not able to take the payment from the Payment Method you have on file, and you fail to respond to our notices, your domain name registration will expire. It is your responsibility to keep your Payment Method information current, which includes the expiration date if you are using a credit card. For certain ccTLDs (.am, .at, .be, .br, .ca, .cn, .com.cn, .net.cn, .org.cn, .de, .eu, .fm, .fr, .gs, .it, .jp, .ms, .nu, .nz, .co.nz, .net.nz, .org.nz, .tc, .tk, .tw, .com.tw, .org.tw, .idv.tw, .uk, and .vg), renewal billing will occur on the first day of the month prior to the month of expiration. For certain ccTLDs (.am, .at, .be, .ca, .cn, .com.cn, .net.cn, .org.cn, .de, .eu, .fm, .fr, .gs, .it, .jp, .ms, .nu, .nz, .co.nz, .net.nz, .org.nz, .tc, .tk, .tw, .com.tw, .org.tw, .idv.tw, .uk, and .vg), renewal will occur, or must occur manually if the product was previously cancelled, no later than the 20th of the month prior to the expiration date, or your domain name will be placed in non-renewal status. For some ccTLDs (.es) renewal must be processed no later than seven days before the expiration date, or your domain name will be placed in non-renewal status. When the domain name is in non-renewal status, you can renew the domain name only by calling LINK and requesting that the domain name be renewed. You cannot renew the domain name through your Account Manager. If you fail to manually implement the renewal of any cancelled product before the expiration date, the domain name will be cancelled and you will no longer have use of that name. You agree that LINK will not be responsible for cancelled domain names that you fail to renew in the timeframes indicated in this Agreement. In any case, if you fail to renew your domain name in a timely fashion, additional charges may apply. If you signed up for privacy services, protected registration, or any other similar service, with your domain name registration, these services will automatically be renewed when your domain name registration is up for renewal, and you will incur the applicable additional renewal fee unless you cancel in advance. If you fail to renew your domain name in the timeframes indicated in this Agreement, you agree that LINK may, in its sole discretion, renew your expired domain name on your behalf. If LINK decides to renew your expired domain name on your behalf, you will have a Renewal Grace Period during which you must reimburse LINK for the renewal and keep your domain name. The Renewal Grace Period is currently twelve (12) days but subject to change under the terms of this Agreement. For certain ccTLDs (.am, .at, .be, .cn, .com.cn, .net.cn, .org.cn, .de, .eu, .fm, .fr, .gs, .it, .jp, .ms, .nu, .nz, .co.nz, .net.nz, .org.nz, .tc, .tk, .tw, .com.tw, .org.tw, .idv.tw, .uk, and .vg) there is no Renewal Grace Period after the expiration date of the domain name. If you do not reimburse LINK for the renewal during the Renewal Grace Period your domain name will be placed on Hold and flagged for deletion after which you may have up to a 30-day redemption period to redeem your domain name, provided that your domain name is not subject to an expired domain name auction bid and you pay LINK a Redemption fee. The Redemption fee is currently $80.00 USD and is subject to change under the terms of this Agreement. If you do not redeem your domain name prior to the end of the 30-day redemption period LINK may, in its sole discretion, delete your domain name or transfer it to another registrant on your behalf. During the redemption period your domain name may be parked. If your domain name is deleted, the Registry also provides a 30-day Redemption Grace Period during which you may pay LINK a redemption fee and redeem your domain name. The redemption fee is currently $80.00 USD and is subject to change under the terms of this Agreement. If you do not redeem your domain name prior to the end of the Registry"s Redemption Grace Period the Registry will release your name and it will become available for registration on a first-come-first-served basis. Renewal Grace Periods and Redemption Grace Periods vary for different ccTLDs. Please refer to the specific terms for the applicable TLD. In the event there is a conflict between the provisions of this paragraph and the ccTLD terms, the ccTLD terms shall control. Our registration expiration notification policy and associated fees are described on LINK website. (C) FREE PRODUCT TERMS In the event you are provided with free products with the registration of a domain name, you acknowledge and agree that such free products will only be available with a valid purchase and may be terminated in the event the domain name is deleted or cancelled. For free domain names, you acknowledge and agree that you may not change the account associated with such free domain for the first five (5) days after registration. In the event a free domain name is offered with the registration of another domain and if the paid domain name registered fails, then we may, in our sole discretion, either delete the registration of the free domain or refund the difference between the amount paid and the value of the free domain. Failed registrations associated with promotional offers may result in the deletion of the free or discounted item or an adjustment between the registered domain price and the value of the discounted item, in our sole discretion.

4. TERM OF AGREEMENT TRANSFERS: DOMAIN TASTING The term of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as long as you have any domain name registered through LINK. You agree that you will not transfer any domain name registered through LINK to another domain name registrar during the first sixty (60) days after its initial registration date. You agree that you may not transfer any domain name for ten (10) days after a Change of Account. You further agree that you will not engage in "domain tasting" by using the five (5) day grace period in which a registrant may choose to cancel a domain name and get a full refund of the registration fee as a vehicle to test the marketability or viability of a domain name. If LINK determines (which determination shall be made by LINK in its sole and absolute discretion) that you have been engaging in "domain tasting", then LINK reserves the right to (a) charge you a small fee (which fee shall be deducted from any refund issued) or (b) refuse your cancellation/refund request altogether. LINK will not charge you a fee if LINK cancels your domain name during the five (5) day grace period due to fraud or other activity outside of your control. The five (5) day grace period does not apply to Premium Domains, which are non-refundable. You agree that LINK shall not be bound by (i) any representations made by third parties who you may use to purchase services from LINK, or (ii) any statements of a general nature, which may be posted on LINK"s website or contained in LINK"s promotional materials.

5. UP TO DATE INFORMATION; USE OF INFORMATION AND EXPIRATION You agree to notify LINK within five (5) business days when any of the information you provided as part of the application and/or registration process changes. It is your responsibility to keep this information in a current and accurate status. Failure by you, for whatever reason, to provide LINK with accurate and reliable information on an initial and continual basis, shall be considered to be a material breach of this Agreement and a basis for suspension and/or cancellation of the domain name. Failure by you, for whatever reason, to respond within five (5) business days to any inquiries made by LINK to determine the validity of information provided by you, shall also be considered to be a material breach of this Agreement and a basis for suspension and/or cancellation of the domain name. You agree to retain a copy for your record of the receipt for purchase of your domain name. You agree that for each domain name registered by you, the following contact data is required: postal address, email address, telephone number, and if available, a facsimile number for the Registered Name Holder and, if different from the Registered Name Holder, the same contact information for, a technical contact, an administrative contact and a billing contact. You acknowledge and agree that domain name registration requires that your contact information, in whole or in part, be shared with the registry operator, for their use, copying, distribution, publication, modification and other processing for the purpose of administration of the domain name registration, which may require such information be transferred back and forth across international borders, to and from the U.S. to the EU, for example. As required by ICANN or for certain ccTLDs (.am, .com.au, .net.au, .org.au, .ca, .cz, .fr, .it, .jp, .co.jp, .kr, .co.kr, .ne.kr, .re.kr, .no, .co.nz, .net.nz, .org.nz, .vg, .se, .so, .sg, .com.sg, .tw, .com.tw, .net.tw, .org.tw, .uk, .co.uk, .me.uk, .org.uk, .us), this information may be made publicly available by the registry operator via Whois or its successor protocol (collectively referred to as the "Whois" Directory) that is beyond, and not subject to, LINK"s control.

10. DEFAULT SETTINGS: PARKED PAGE Choosing Your Domain Name Settings. When you register a domain name with LINK, you will be prompted to choose your domain name settings during the checkout process. If you plan on using another provider for your website or hosting needs, then you should enter the name servers of such provider when you choose your domain name settings. This will direct your domain name away from LINK"s name servers. If you are an existing LINK customer and have already set up a customer profile designating your domain name settings for new domain name registrations, you will not need to complete this step again during the checkout process. LINK"s Default Settings. If you do not direct your domain name away from LINK"s name servers as described above, LINK will direct your domain name to a "Parked Page" ("Default Setting"). You acknowledge and agree that LINK has the right to set the Default Setting. Parked Page Default Setting. LINK"s Parked Page service is an online domain monetization system designed to generate revenue (through the use of pay per click advertising) from domain names that are not actively being used as websites. If your domain name is directed to a Parked Page, you acknowledge and agree that LINK may display both (a) in-house advertising (which includes links to LINK products and services) and (b) third-party advertising (which includes links to third-party products and services) on your Parked Page through the use of pop-up or pop-under browser windows, banner advertisements, audio or video streams, or any other advertising means, and we may aggregate for our own use, related usage data by means of cookies and other similar means. In addition, you acknowledge and agree that all in-house and third-party advertising will be selected by LINK and its advertising partners, as appropriate, and you will not be permitted to customize the advertising, or entitled to any compensation in exchange therefor. Please note that the third-party advertising displayed on LINK"s Parked Pages may contain content offensive to you, including but not limited to links to adult content. LINK makes no effort to edit, control, monitor, or restrict the content and third-party advertising displayed on LINK"s Parked Pages, and expressly disclaims any liability or responsibility to you or any third party in connection therewith. Changing LINK"s Default Settings. You may change LINK"s Default Settings at any time during the term of your domain name registration.1. Content Displaying On Your Parked Page. You can not modify the content displaying on your Parked Page. You may select one of the other options listed2. Participating In Domain Name Monetization. If you wish to participate in the domain monetization potential presented by LINK"s Parked Page service, please review and consider purchasing our CashParking"3. No Content. If the options listed above are not acceptable to you, please contact customer support to learn what other options might be available toReturn To Parked Page Default Setting Upon Domain Name Expiration. Upon domain name expiration, and regardless of how you use your domain name during the term of your domain name registration, your domain name will automatically return to the Parked Page Default Setting described above. As used in this paragraph, "expiration" is deemed to include any "renewal period" or "redemption period" immediately after the domain name expires, but before the domain name is returned to the registry. Once your domain name has returned to the Parked Page Default Setting described above, the only way to opt out of the Parked Page service is to renew, redeem, or re-register your domain name in accordance with Section 2(B), Domain Name Renewal Terms, of this Agreement.

11. DOMAIN ADD-ONS Business Registration: Business registration allows You to display additional information about the business that is the basis of Your domain name, including, but not limited to, such information as Your fax number, street address, and hours of operation.

Expiration Consolidation. You understand and acknowledge the expiration consolidation service may only be used to consolidate the expiration of .com and .net domain names. The service may not be used to consolidate domains that are on Registrar HOLD, Registry HOLD, or pending Transfer status. You acknowledge the service may only be used to push the expiration date of Your domains forward in time, at least one (1) month forward and no more than ten (10) years forward, and then, only for a period lasting less than twelve (12) months. Once the service has been used to consolidate domains, the new expiration date may not be reversed. To ensure the service is not abused or used as an alternative to renewals, you may only use the service on each domain once in any 12- month period. The service may only be used on domain names that have not passed their expiration date. In order to change the expiration date again, You will be required to renew the domain name first. You further understand and acknowledge the service may only be used to coordinate domains where we are the registrar of record. Domains not registered with us must be transferred before we can perform the Service.

Discount Domain Club. In exchange for purchasing a Discount Domain Club membership, You will be able to purchase discounted products and services from us, including discounts on selected domain registrations, one (1) free Auctions account, one (1) free CashParking account, and discounts on Domain Buy Service.

You agree a domain name that has expired shall be subject first to a grace period of twelve (12) days, followed by the ICANN-mandated redemption grace period of thirty (30) days. During this period of time, the current domain name registrant may renew the domain name and retain registration rights. We do not guarantee your backorder will result in you obtaining the domain name and expressly reserves the right to (a) refuse additional backorders or (b) cancel existing backorders at any time for any reason. If your backorder is refused or cancelled, we agree to promptly refund any fees paid for such domain name backorder. The domain name may also be placed in a secondary market for resale through the Auctions" service. After your first year of Auctions membership, you agree that unless otherwise advised, we will automatically renew your Auctions membership using the payment method you have on file for so long as your backorder credit is active. You may learn more about Auctions by visiting the Auctions website. The domain name may also be subject to a drop pool process before it is available for purchasing.
