Complete our application form in full;

Submit the appropriate registration fee; and
Satisfy any requirements pertaining to the domain name license being applied for, and any other requirements notified by us.

Submission of an application does not assure you of a domain name license, even if a preliminary check indicates domain availability. Your application's success is fulfilled only if:

Full registration fee has been paid and all cheques honoured by your bank and confirmed by our accounts department;
Your application complies with the association requirements and policies of the applicable registry operator;
The applicable registry operator approves your application and permits the issue of domain name license; and

In any event, we shall not be responsible for any losses and damages that you may have suffered in reliance of your belief that your application would be successful.

18.6 Domain name licensing

The issue of a domain name license entitles you to status of licensee for the domain name. A domain name is not an item of property and has no 'owner'. It is classed as an entry on the database of the registry operator. The terms application, registration, activation, transfer of (and so on) a domain name merely reflect the application, registration, activation, transfer (and so on) of a domain name license. A domain name license is subject to its license terms. It may not be used in breach of those license terms, many of which are registry operator (and their relating bodies) requirements, beyond our control. Ownership of all copyright and database rights is kept by the registry operator. You should not rely on the continued provision of a domain name license as evidence of a grant or renewed grant of permission to the use of the same. It is your responsibility to ensure a domain name license is within bounds of registry operator (and their relating bodies) requirements. You hold full responsibility for the renewal of domain name licenses.

18.7 Domain name registration period

A domain name license has a fixed period once activated. Some domain name licenses have a choice of periods, some are fixed. Our application form will indicate the periods available for application. The domain name license period (pending its approval) will be that applied for.

18.8 Registration renewal

You may renew your domain name license in accordance with these terms and those of the relevant registry operator. You are solely responsible for renewing your domain name license. If you fail to do so prior to the end of previous license term your domain may become available for registration by third parties. You release us from any potential claim arising from your failure to renew a domain name license. We may elect to send notification of pending renewal as a courtesy, however:

You irrevocably agree that you will have no claim against us if we do not provide notification, or if notification does not reach you. It is your sole responsibility to ensure your electronic contact method is correct, active and fully functional.

We will make an effort to advise the registrant of the need to renew a domain name, preferably at least 30 days prior to expiry, by at least:

sending an email to the registrant's email address; and/or
sending a notice to the registrant's postal address as recorded in the WHOIS information for that domain name.

You are not obliged to renew your domain name license, nor pay any fees associated, unless you choose to do so. If you choose to renew your domain name license you shall:

Agree to any fees required as directed;
Agree to the latest service agreement as well as any related policies or requirements listed by the relevant registry operator; and
Indicate the period for renewal from the available renewal periods as specified by us.

A renewal is only successful if:

The renewal fee has been paid and honoured;
Your renewal complies with the services agreement, polices and requirements of us and the relevant registry operator;
The relevant registry operator approves the renewal request; and
We have notified you in writing that your application for renewal has been approved.

The period of your renewed domain name license is taken to commence from the date of expiry of your previous license.

18.10 Registrant transfer

Ensure that the transferor pays any outstanding fees owing to us;

18.11 Registrar transfer in

You are able (subject to policy of the relevant registry operator) apply for the transfer of a domain name license from another domain registrar (company) to ours.

18.12 Registrar transfer out

As you are able to process a registrar transfer to us, you are also able to apply for a registrar transfer to another company.

The domain will only become available if it is no longer registered - either because the previous registration has expired without renewal, or the domain name was deleted. All Back Order applications are subject to the full terms and conditions contained within this document. You acknowledge that notwithstanding any term or representation to the contrary, the Back Order service cannot be supplied in relation to domain names which are identified as unsuitable by any applicable Registry or Registrar (such as Premium Domain names which are exempt from the Back Order service). If a Back Order application is processed in relation to any domain name which is subsequently identified as unsuitable by any applicable Registry or Registrar for whatsoever reason, you irrevocably agree that such processed application may be deleted and refunded. Placing a Back Order does not in any way guarantee that the specified domain name will be registered to you at any time. We will make every effort to secure domain registration, subject to these terms (or the terms contained within this entire document). It is possible that the specified domain name will never become available for registration. This means that your Back Order may never be successful, no matter how long you retain the Back Order. Upon application, the specified domain name will enter our Back Order system. Back Orders will be placed on a first come, first serve basis. Other clients of ours may place Back Orders for the same domain name. The first application will be treated with 100% priority. We may, or may not disclose that there is an existing Back Order for the specified domain name. Cancellation - A Back Order can be cancelled at any time however no refund or account credit for funds paid, either in full or pro rata shall be given where the service supplied to you is functioning.

Failing to renew your Back Order service prior to the expiration date may forego any priority for a domain name Back Order in the situation where several Back Order applications have been made for the same domain name.

18.16 Domain Pre-Registration

The Domain Pre-Registration service is available to register your intent to register a domain name. The domain will only become available once the TLD is available from Forecast IT. We do not guarantee registration of your domain name at any stage of the pre-registration. Once the TLD becomes available from Forecast IT you will be contacted via email regarding pricing and registration terms. Once you domain is available for registration, registrations will be placed on a first come, first serve basis. Other clients of ours may place pre-registrations for the same domain name. The first application will be treated with 100% priority. We may, or may not disclose that there is an existing pre-registration for the specified domain name. You understand other companies may have the same domain name on backorder in which case the domain may be taken. You understand we will try and get this domain name but there is no guarantee the domain will be available. You understand we cannot guarantee if and when your domain will become available. Once the TLD becomes available in the future we will notify you via email. Upon pre-registering a domain name you agree to comply with all of the associated registry rules and conditions once your domain is purchased.

In the event the domain name is not renewed within 30 days, the domain may be stored for a Redemption period by the domain name registry. A registry may store a domain name for a 30 day Redemption period. In order to recover a domain name during the Redemption period, registrants must apply to Forecast IT to have the domain name reinstated at least 7 days prior to the end of the Redemption period. Upon expiry of the Redemption period domain names enter a PENDING DELETE phase for 5 days where they cannot be recovered by registrants or registrars. The domain name is then deleted and made available for re-registration. Application to renew a domain name during the Redemption period incurs a fee (Currently $140 USD) which is collected by Forecast IT on behalf of the registry. This fee includes the first year renewal of the domain name. Some registries do not have a Redemption period. To enquire whether a Redemption period applies contact Forecast IT.

18.27.2 .asia Redemption

Upon the expiry of a domain name (Domain Object), the name is not immediately purged from the registry and available for registration. The following URL describes the general life cycle for a domain name http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/gtld-lifecycle A domain may be recovered from redemption at any time during this 30 day period. A fee will apply in which the first year of renewal is included. This fee is collected by Forecast IT on behalf on the registry. Should a domain not be recovered from redemption is will be struck from the registry and released. Renewal Process:

On expiry date, CLIENT HOLD status is added to the domain, stopping it from resolving any DNS records.
Client is given 30 days past the expiry date to renew. Failure to renew will result in us cancelling the domain name from the registry, sending the domain name to REDEMPTION for 30 days. While in Redemption, the domain can be recovered (For a fee that we pay the registry).
After 30 days in REDEMPTION, the domain name enters PENDING DELETE for 5 days (domain cannot be recovered from us at this time) before being deleted from the registry completely and being made available for re-registration. The chances of re-registering are very slim due to the domain name aftermarket/speculation on expired domains.
The domain name will be deleted from the .com registry and will enter the REDEMPTION status then PENDING DELETE as per gTLD expiry cycle.http://www.icann.org/en/registrars/gtld-lifecycle.htm
