.PRO TOP LEVEL DOMAIN TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Thank you for submitting one or more applications for a .pro second or third level (e.g., .law.pro, .cpa.pro, .med.pro) domain ("proTLD") name registration! Please read this agreement ("Agreement") carefully. Together with the Register.com Corporate Services Standard Terms and Conditions ("Register.com Services Agreement"), which is incorporated herein by reference, it governs your use of the proTLD services provided to you by Register.com, Inc. ("Register.com").

At this time, Register.com is taking applications for registration(s) and Defensive Registration(s) (as defined below) of domain names in the proTLD. Please note that because we expect that the proTLD will be popular, we cannot guarantee that you will actually be able to register a domain name for which you have submitted an application once registration in the proTLD commences.

1. .pro Services.
   
   The following types of registrations within the proTLD are available to qualified persons and entities: basic domain name registrations in certain designated third levels (e.g., .law.pro, .cpa.pro, .med.pro), and ProBlock registrations, ProGuard registrations, and ProReserve registrations (ProBlock, ProGuard and ProReserve registrations shall be collectively referred to as, "Defensive Registrations").
   
   Basic domain name registrations are restricted to persons and entities (a) that self-certify that they meet the Eligibility Requirements (defined below) with respect to the professional field in which they are seeking the domain name registration ("Self-Certification") and (b) whose Self-Certifications are, prior to the domain name registration, verified and, following the domain name registration, re-verified at least annually ("Verification"; together with the Self-Certification, the "Certification Process"). ProBlock and ProGuard registrations are restricted to trademark or service mark holders with valid and enforceable trademark or service mark registrations of national effect that are issued prior to September 30, 2002. ProReserve registrations are restricted to persons and entities that complete the Self-Certifications. Domain name applicants that complete the Certification Process will be issued a professional digital certificate ("Digital Certificate Services"). You acknowledge and agree that Register.com and the Registry are not responsible for the accuracy of the databases used to complete the Verification and therefore neither Register.com nor the Registry shall have any liability with respect to the results of the Verification conducted on your behalf.
   
   Register.com is an accredited registrar for the proTLD. As such, Register.com is, upon accepting your application to register a .pro domain name registration or Defensive Registration, your sponsor for that application. No .pro application for services hereunder will be deemed fulfilled until (i) we have delivered the application information you provide us to the .pro registry operator (the "Registry"), and (ii) the Registry has placed into effect the .pro service that you requested. Register.com cannot guarantee that any .pro application will result in a .pro domain name registration or Defensive Registration.
   
   
2. Fees.
   
   As consideration for the proTLD services that you request hereunder, you agree to pay Register.com the then-current fees set forth on the Register.com price schedule for such services. All fees are non-refundable, in whole or in part, even if your service is suspended, cancelled or transferred prior to the end of your then-current service term. You acknowledge that if, pursuant to the performance of the initial Certification Process Register.com determines that you do not meet the applicable proTLD Eligibility Requirements, Register.com shall be entitled to retain a processing fee in connection with the performance of the initial Verification. Registrer.com will not refund any portion of the fees paid if you successfully secure a .pro domain name registration but then fail to complete the annual Verification, in Register.com's discretion.
   
   
3. Transfers.
   
   You further agree and acknowledge that you will be prohibited from transferring your .pro domain name registration to another registrar during the first sixty (60) days after you have registered such domain name, and in no event may such transfer occur until such date as the Registry begins accepting .pro domain name registrations ("Registry Live Date"). In addition, you acknowledge and agree that you will be prohibited from transferring you Defensive Registration to another registrar until the Registry Live Date.
   
   
4. .pro Sunrise Period
   
   
   1. The "Sunrise" period offered from April 23, 2003 until June 1, 2003, or such other date as the Registry may designate as the last day "Sunrise" applications will be accepted (the "Sunrise Period"), allows registered trademark holders described below an opportunity to apply for ProBlock and ProGuard registrations before such mark(s) become available for public registrations. ProReserve registrations are not available during the Sunrise Period. The Sunrise Period allows holders of current (non-expired) trademarks and service marks having national effect (including, for example, European Community Trademarks ("CTMs") but excluding United States state registrations) issued prior to September 30, 2002, to apply for a ProBlock registration or ProGuard registration that is identical to the textual or word elements of such trademark or service mark, using ASCII characters only, and subject to the same character and formatting restrictions as apply to all domain name registrations in the proTLD. Where there is a space between the textual elements of a mark, applicants may elect at their discretion to use a hyphen or combine the elements together. Trademark or service mark registrations from the supplemental or equivalent registry of any country, or from individual states or provinces of a nation, will not be accepted.
      
      
   2. Applications for ProBlock registrations or ProGuard registrations under the Sunrise Period must include (i) the ASCII characters composing the trademark or service mark, (ii) the date the trademark or service mark was issued, (iii) the country in which the trademark or service mark was registered, and (iv) the trademark or service mark number. By submitting an application during the Sunrise Period, you represent and warrant that you are the holder of a current (non-expired) trademark or service mark having national effect that issued prior to September 30, 2002, and that the .pro domain name you have applied for is identical to the textual or word elements of such trademark or service mark, using ASCII characters only, and that all information you submit in connection with your application is complete and accurate.
      
      
   3. Defensive Registrations registered during and after the Sunrise Period will not resolve within the DNS, unless they are converted to basic domain name registrations after the Registry Live Date by completing the Certification Process for each such Defensive Registration.
      
      
   4. You acknowledge that the Registry and Register.com will have no liability of any kind for any loss or liability resulting from the proceedings and processes relating to the Sunrise Period including, without limitation: (i) the ability or inability of any registrant to obtain Defensive Registration during these periods, and (ii) the results of any dispute over a domain name registration or Defensive Registration applied for during the Sunrise Period.
