Registrar Partner Terms of Service

These Registrar Partner Terms of Service (“ToS”) govern the use of privacy protection services (“Services”) provided by Domain Privacy Ltd (“DPL”), a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, to domain name registrars (“Registrar”, “you”, “your”). By using our Services, you agree to these ToS, in addition to any private agreement between your company and DPL. These ToS are provided to ensure transparency for your customers/domain registrants (“Customers”). Headings are for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of any section.

1. Our Services

DPL provides privacy protection for domain registrations, replacing registrant contact details in WHOIS records with DPL contact information. This service prevents publication of personal data while allowing third parties to reach Customers anonymously, via anonymized email and physical address forwarding.

2. Customer Personal Information

DPL operates on privacy-by-design principles. We do not collect or require your Customers’ personal information. You warrant that you do not share Customer personal data with DPL and must disclose this fact in your privacy statements and relevant legal notices. Both parties warrant that no personal information is shared or sold between them.

3. Registrar Responsibilities

You must ensure your use of DPL’s Services complies with applicable laws, ICANN, and registry rules. You are responsible for establishing your own Registrar Policies and for ensuring your Customers follow them. All law enforcement and legal requests regarding Customers must be handled by you, and DPL will redirect any such requests. DPL contracts only with the Registrar, not with Customers, and you are responsible for making this clear on your website.

4. Customer Disclosures

  • DPL is a Cayman Islands company that provides WHOIS privacy services.
  • DPL is subject to Cayman Islands law and applicable privacy regulations.
  • DPL does not collect or receive Customer personal information.
  • DPL may be required to remove Services in certain legal or contractual circumstances.
  • Customers have no third-party rights as to DPL and must address disputes with the Registrar.
  • DPL reviews and may forward non-spam communications as reasonable; unsolicited or commercial mail may be discarded or returned.
  • Neither Registrar nor Customers may claim against DPL for failure to forward any communication in good faith.

5. Reservation of Rights

DPL reserves the right to alter, limit, or discontinue Services for legal, commercial, or contractual reasons, and is not liable for any resulting damages. Services may become unavailable due to maintenance or other reasons.

6. Renewal and Fees

All Services are billed annually and in advance. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Services renew automatically at current rates. You are responsible for maintaining valid payment methods. Fees are non-refundable.

7. Term and Termination

These ToS apply as long as you use our Services. Minimum term is one year, auto-renewing unless you provide written notice of non-renewal at least 90 days before the current term ends, with all obligations fulfilled. DPL may terminate Services for breach, legal requirement, or at its discretion; fees paid are non-refundable. Certain provisions survive termination.

8. Liability Disclaimer

Services are provided “as is.” DPL disclaims all warranties, express or implied. DPL’s liability to you or any third party is limited to $100 USD or the minimum required by Cayman Islands law, whichever is lower. DPL is not liable for lost profits, consequential damages, or errors arising from use of Services.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DPL, its affiliates, officers, directors, agents, and employees from all claims and expenses (including legal fees) arising from your or your Customers’ use of Services, violation of law or these ToS, or any third-party claims.

10. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These ToS are governed exclusively by the laws of the Cayman Islands. Any disputes must be brought exclusively in the courts of the Cayman Islands. You consent to such jurisdiction.

11. Notices

Notices to you will be sent to the contact information in your account.

12. No Agency Relationship

Nothing in these ToS creates a partnership, agency, or joint venture between you and DPL.

13. No Third-Party Rights

These ToS benefit only the Registrar and DPL, not any third party.

14. No Waiver

DPL’s failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of its right to enforce that provision later.

15. Enforceability

If any part of these ToS is found invalid, the remainder remains in effect. DPL will replace invalid sections with enforceable provisions that reflect the original intent.

16. Assignment and Resale

Your rights under these ToS are not assignable or transferable without DPL’s written consent. DPL may assign its rights or obligations at any time.

17. Force Majeure

Neither party is liable for failure or delay in performance due to events beyond their reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, war, terrorism, labor actions, or government orders.
