Terms of Use last revised: Oct 31st, 2018

The following terms and conditions apply to the registration of domain names and provision of a domain name service by CentralNic Ltd ("CentralNic") and includes domain names from ccTLD .LA. For the purposes of these terms and conditions, any references to the registration of a domain name includes, without limitation, the provision of the associated domain name service.

1. You acknowledge that the fulfilment by CentralNic of certain domain name services are subject to oversight by third parties, including, without limitation, the rules, regulations and policies of the Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN"), the U.S. Department of Commerce, the registry administrators of ccTLD .LA and certain contractual agreements between CentralNic and such registry administrators and other technical service providers (collectively, as they may be amended from time to time, the "Third Party Obligations"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, CentralNic reserves the right to modify its domain name services in order to comply with any such Third Party Obligations.
2. You must have the right to use the name which will form the prefix of the domain name and which will be issued by CentralNic. By applying to register the domain name you warrant to us that you have that right.
3. By applying to register the domain name you agree to indemnify and to keep ICANN, LANIC of the Lao Government, CentralNic, and its directors, fully and effectively indemnified at all times against all costs, claims, liabilities, losses, damages, actions and expenses (including without limitation, legal expenses) arising directly or indirectly from the registration and/or any breach by you of any of these terms and conditions.
4. If you are a registrar, you may apply to register the domain name on behalf of, and in the name of, a third party (if you are an Internet Service Provider, for example) and/or register the domain name in your own name on behalf of a third party provided that you have their prior consent and agree at any time on request by that third party to de-register the domain name which was registered in your name and allow that third party to register it in their name. In either case the prices you charge your customers ("Registrants") are at your discretion. CentralNic reserves the right to immediately cancel without notice the domain name if CentralNic reasonably believes that you have registered a domain name in breach of clause 2 or with the intention of defrauding a third party.
5. In the event of registering a ccTLD .LA domain name you shall require all Registrants to enter into an electronic or written registration agreement including at least the following provisions:
   5.1 the Registrant shall provide to the registrar accurate and reliable contact details and promptly up date them during the term of the .LA domain registration including: full name, name of organisation, association or corporation (if applicable) postal address, email address, voice telephone number, and fax number if available; name of authorized person in the case of Registrant that is an organization association or corporation.
   5.2 A Registrant's provision of inaccurate or unreliable information or its failure to promptly update or correct information provided shall constitutes material breach of the registration agreement and shall be a basis for cancellation of the .la registered domain name.
   5.3 You shall accept written complaints from third parties regarding false or inaccurate data on the .LA WHOIS database of registrants and follow any other policies published from time to time. These may be found at the CentralNic registry console interface.
6. If you apply to register the domain name on behalf of a third party (a client, for example) and you are registered on the CentralNic database as a billing contact, CentralNic, at its option, will be entitled to receive any payments due in respect of the domain name registration from you or the relevant third party. You and the third party shall be jointly and severally liable in this regard.
7. The initial period of registration of the domain name is a whole number of years between one year and ten years. Thereafter, the registration may be renewed for further years provided that you pay the appropriate renewal fee on or before the relevant renewal date. It is your responsibility to ensure that you apply to renew the domain name registration before the renewal date and provide accurate and up to date contact details. Whilst CentralNic endeavours to send reminders of renewal dates it does not guarantee to do so except where required by applicable ICANN consensus or registry policies and will not be liable if you fail to renew any registration on time.
8. You may surrender the registration of the domain name at any time by notice in writing to CentralNic. You will not be entitled to any refund for the remaining registration period at the time of the surrender.
and to keep
9. Unless you have selected the option to opt-out, the details you supply will be published using CentralNic's WHOIS service in accordance with applicable data protection legislation and .ASIA and ICANN policies. CentralNic reserves the right, subject to data protection legislation, to publish registrants' details in other circumstances, including to governmental or law enforcement agencies, to third parties with a legitimate reason for requesting the information, and on production of a court order.
10. Domain names are registered on a first come, first served basis.
11. There is no guarantee that a domain name applied for has been entered on the registry database until you receive confirmation of registration. You are advised not to take, and CentralNic accepts no liability arising from, any action taken in respect of the use and/or registration of the domain name before you have received such confirmation and full payment has been made and received by CentralNic.
12. Acceptance of applications to register the domain name is at the sole discretion of CentralNic. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, CentralNic may refuse to accept such application if the domain name:
    (a) is currently registered;
    (b) is on the list of reserved words (this list is not available for public scrutiny);
    (c) is obscene or otherwise deemed to be unsuitable by CentralNic in its sole discretion. Acceptance of a domain name by CentralNic shall not be construed as CentralNic approving or agreeing that you have the right to register that name.
13. The fees for the registration of, and renewal of registrations of, the domain name are those posted on the CentralNic website. CentralNic shall be entitled to invoice you for the registration for the domain name on receipt of an application to register for the domain name and for the renewal of the domain name registration on or before the renewal date. Payment must be made within the period stated in the invoice. If CentralNic does not receive payment within such period CentralNic is entitled, at its option, to suspend, utilize (to dispose, to auction, to transfer to third parties, to take over registration in his own continuance) or to delete the domain name registration from the database and if deleted, the domain name may be made available for registration to the public. If suspended, CentralNic reserves the right to charge you for resumption of the registration of the domain name. You agree that the termination or non-renewal of the domain name or non-payment of due renewal fees shall constitute your consent to the actions described above as well as to a renewal of the domain name and updates to the registration data to the extent necessary for their undertaking provided that you do not contradict expressly before the term end and no agreement to the contrary exists.
14. CentralNic may at its sole discretion, cancel the registration or suspend registration of the domain name if:
    (a) ordered to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction; and to comply with any applicable laws, government rules or requirements, requests of law enforcement in compliance with any dispute resolution process
    (b) the use of the domain name is illegal;
    (c) if there is a breach of these terms and conditions, including without limitation, clause 2;
    (d) the continued use of a domain name could cause technical problems on the Internet, or the integrity or stability of the registry
    (e) following the Dispute Resolution Policy posted on CentralNic's website the name has been judged to infringe the trademark or other intellectual property of the complainant.
    (f) if CentralNic believes that the domain name was registered for use in a "phishing" attack or other illegal activity of any kind.
    (h) if inaccurate or false contact details are provided.
    (i) if CentralNic deems it necessary in its discretion to: 1) avoid any liability, civil or criminal on the part of CentralNic or LA Names, as well as their affiliates, subsidiaries and subcontractors, employees, and stockholders or each of them, 2) for violation of these Terms and Conditions,
    (j) CentralNic reserves the right to freeze or lock a domain name during a resolution of a dispute.
15. You agree to keep the monetary terms of the provision of domain names services confidential. CentralNic agrees to keep confidential your confidential business and technology information other than your Account contact information and other information which CentralNic, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to disclose in order to effectuate transfers, to investigate or implement any policing activity, to respond to lawful discovery requests, or to otherwise achieve the legitimate business purposes of provide domain name services. The obligations of this section shall not restrict any disclosure by either party pursuant to any applicable law, or by order of any court, government agency, or ICANN and shall not apply to information that is independently developed by the disclosing party or is publicly known.
16. CentralNic gives no warranty and makes no representation in respect of the domain names registered hereunder including, without limitation, the availability of any domain names and their suitability for Your purposes and hereby excludes, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all conditions, warranties, terms, undertakings and representations, express or implied, whether by statute, common law or otherwise in relation to such domain names.
17. CentralNic shall not be liable to you whether in contract, tort, by statute or otherwise in respect of any loss of profits and/or for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential loss or damage arising out of or in connection with the domain names registered hereunder, including without limitation:
