Should you not accept these terms and conditions and agree to be bound by them in their entirety, do not make application for a domain name in the ORG.ZA namespace. 1. Internet Solutions has been assigned the administrative function of registering domain names in the ORG.ZA namespace of the Internet. Internet Solutions registers these Domain Names on a "first come, first served" basis. Internet Solutions has neither the resources nor the legal obligation to screen requested Domain Names to determine if the use of a Domain Name by any applicant (hereafter referred to as "Applicant") may infringe upon the right(s) of a third party. Consequently, as an express condition of the grant of Applicant's request to register a Domain Name, Applicant represents, warrants and agrees as follows: (a) Applicant's statements in the application are true and applicant has the right to use the Domain Name as requested in the Application; (b) Applicant has a bona fide intention to use the Domain Name on a regular basis on the Internet; (c) The use or registration of the Domain Name by Applicant does not interfere with nor infringe the right of any third party in any jurisdiction with respect to trademark, service mark, tradename, company name, close corporation name, copyright nor any other intellectual property right; (d) Applicant is not seeking to use the Domain Name for any unlawful purpose, including, without limitation, delictual interference with contract or prospective business advantage, unfair competition, injuring the reputation of another, nor for the purpose of confusing or misleading any person, whether natural or incorporated. 2. Applicant acknowledges and agrees that these conditions prevailing on the registration and use of Domain Names may change from time to time and that, upon thirty (30) days posting on the Internet at ftp://ftp.is.co.za/internet/african-templates/za/ORG.ZA-terms, Internet Solutions may modify or amend such terms. 3.(a) Applicant agrees to pay a registration fee of Two Hundred Rand (R200 EXCL) for the registration of each new domain, unless this domain is being registered by a non-profit organisation - see 3b. If payment for a new domain has not been made within 30 days of a successful application, Internet Solutions reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to remove the domain from ORG.ZA and make it available for re-registration. Applications for domain updates and deletions are free. 3.(b) If the organisation on whose behalf the application is being made is a non-profit organisation and the Applicant has indicated this on the application template, registration is free. A copy of the Section 21 registration certificate must be submitted to Internet Solutions as proof, and the application will not be processed until such certificate is received. If no such certificate is available, a statement on an official letterhead that the organisation is non-profit may be substituted, but Internet Solutions reserves the right to refuse such applications. In such event, Internet Solutions may, but is not obliged to, request such further documentary proof of the applicant's legal status as it considers necessary. 4. Applicant agrees that if the application for a domain is made by a proxy agent for the Applicant, such as an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or Administrative Contact, the Applicant is nonetheless bound as a principal by all terms and conditions contained herein. 5. At the time of the initial submission of the Domain Name request, the Applicant is required to have operational name service from at least two operational Internet servers for that domain name. Each server must be fully connected to the Internet and capable of receiving queries under that Domain Name and responding thereto. 6. Applicant is responsible for its selection of the Domain Name. Consequently, Applicant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Internet Solutions, its officers, employees and agents, for any loss, damage, expense or liability resulting from any claim, action or demand arising out of or related to the use or registration of the Domain Name, including attorneys fees on the attorney and own client scale. Such claims shall include, without limitation, those based upon tradename infringement, copyright infringement, dilution, delictual interference with contract or prospective business advantage, unfair competition, defamation or injury to business reputation. Internet Solutions agrees to give Applicant written notice of any such claim, action or demand within a reasonable time. Applicant agrees that Internet Solutions shall be defended by attorneys of Internet Solutions' choice at Applicant's expense, and that Applicant shall advance the costs of such litigation, on the request by Internet Solutions' attorneys from time to time. The failure to abide by this provision shall be considered a material breach of these terms and conditions and permit Internet Solutions, without limiting any other rights which it may have hereunder or in law, to immediately withdraw the use and registration of Domain Name from Applicant, without any liability whatsoever,including without limitation for damages whether direct or consequential for any loss of use, interruption of business, or any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind (including lost profits), regardless of the form of action, whether in contract or delict. 7. Applicant agrees that Internet Solutions shall have the right to withdraw a Domain Name from use and registration on the Internet upon thirty (30) days prior written notice (or earlier if ordered by any Court) should Internet Solutions receive an order by any competent court that the Domain Name in dispute rightfully belongs to a third party or infringes a third party's rights. 8.(a) In the event that the Applicant breaches any of its obligations under these terms, Internet Solutions may request that Applicant relinquish the Domain Name by way of a written notice describing the alleged breach. If Applicant fails to provide evidence that it has not breached its obligations which is reasonably satisfactory to Internet Solutions within 14 (fourteen) days of the date of receipt of such notice, then The Internet Solution may terminate Applicant's use and registration of the Domain Name. 8.(b) Applicant acknowledges and agrees that Internet Solutions cannot act as an arbiter of disputes arising out of the registration and use of Domain Names. At the same time, Applicant acknowledges that Internet Solutions may be presented with evidence that a Domain Name registered by Applicant violates the rights of a third party. In such instance Internet Solutions shall be allowed to provide a complainant with Applicant's name and address and all further communication will exclude The Internet Solution and Internet Solutions will have no further obligations to the Applicant. 8.(c) In such instance Applicant shall be entitled to continue using the Domain Name registered for Applicant by Internet Solutions until a court as described in 5 directs otherwise. 9. Internet Solutions will not be liable for any loss of use, interruption of business, or any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind (including lost profits), regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, delict, or otherwise, even if Internet Solutions has been advised of the possibility of such damages. 10. The Applicant consents to the jurisdiction of any competent South African Magistrate's court for the adjudication of any legal dispute between Internet Solutions and the Applicant and these terms and conditions will be construed and interpreted in accordance with the law of the Republic of South Africa. 11. In the event that any of the terms of this Annexure are found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, such terms will be severable from the remaining terms, which will continue to be valid and enforceable. 12. Applicant agrees that this registration agreement is the complete and exclusive agreement between the Applicant and Internet Solutions regarding the registration of the Applicant's ORG.ZA domain. This registration agreement supersedes all prior such agreements. - - - - 8< - - - - 8< - - - - 8< CUT HERE 8< - - - - 8< - - - - 8< - - - III: NOTES 0. Information must be filled in only on lines ending with a colon (`:'). Please do not alter any other part of the application form. 1. There is a charge of R200 (VAT EXCL) for registering new domains. If the organisation for which the application is being made is non-profit, this charge will be waived, but proof of this is required. In these cases, the applicant MUST explicitly declare the application as being for a non-profit organisation by marking section 4q. 'Y' in the application. See (3a) and (3b) in Annexure A for more information. Payment can be made via cheque (payable to 'Internet Solutions') or direct deposit (NEDBANK, CCS Johannesburg, Branch Code 145405, Account No. 1454 005 726).

The ORG.ZA domain maintains only name server records. In the ORG.ZA domain only one kind of information is kept for each domain: a list of name servers which contain information about the new domain, and possibly the IP addresses of these servers. Mail exchanger (MX) records must be specified in the new domain itself -- MX RECORDS ARE NOT ADDED TO THE ORG.ZA ZONE. 4. Meaningful subject. Please use one of the following as the subject line for e-mail applications: NEW DOMAIN domain.org.za CHANGE DOMAIN domain.org.za DELETE DOMAIN domain.org.za where domain.org.za is the domain involved. 5. Authentication. The ORG.ZA registry now supports update authentication via passwords. The password needs to be supplied in the original application. When a subsequent update application is made using the same password, the application is processed immediately. If password authentication is not used, the current domain contacts will have to confirm the update. 6. Submitting the form. Internet Solutions ONLY accepts applications via e-mail. Applications must be sent to: Only application forms in text format will be considered. 7. New versions of this form.
