Domain names are registered in the customer’s own name and at the request of the customer. In this respect, Easy Code LTD acts as an intermediary. Easy Code LTD will inform the customer when the registration of the domain name has taken place. Easy Code LTD assumes no responsibilities for the domain name if it is transferred or cancelled, or if the web space is deleted. The domain name will be “registered with” / “transferred to” Easy Code LTD‘s partners. These may be with domain registrars or directly with the individual domain administrator of the Top Level Domain concerned. At the end of each subscriptionperiod the customer will receive an invoice from Easy Code LTD for the annual domain fee, unless otherwise stated. This applies regardless of whether the domain is pointed to DNS servers at Easy Code LTD or someplace else. In the event of wrongly ordered domains (spelling mistakes, name errors or similar) the registration fee will not be repayable. Easy Code LTD will, however, endeavour to correct the domain name so long as registration has not yet taken place. If Easy Code LTD is responsible for submitting an erroneous order of a domain name, Easy Code LTD will either refund the registration fee or offer registration of the correct domain name. It is the customer’s own responsibility to keep Easy Code LTD and possible top-level domain authorities updated regarding changes of address or other contact information.
