    2. Clients should take care to ensure that no malicious software is executed on the Jetdomains platform.

    4. The client consents to give Jetdomains full permission to their account for investigation in the unlikely event of system compromise relating to that account.

  9. Domain Name Registration

    1. Jetdomains registers domain names on the Internet through the relevant governing bodies and hosts websites and related material on the Jetdomains server(s) on behalf of clients. These terms and conditions apply to the use and registration of domain names and other domain services offered by Jetdomains.

    2. The client will be bound by the terms and conditions of the relevant domain name space (e.g. .com or .co.za) under which any domain name registered on its behalf falls, and should become familiar with them. Jetdomains may post links to these terms and conditions on the Website purely as a convenience to the client.

    3. We will strive to ensure that registration and subsequent DNS propagation is effected in the shortest period of time. However, we cannot be held liable for any delays that may accompany the registration of domains. Initial setup fees are non-refundable. Domain name registration fees constitute a once-off payment subject to certain renewal charges.

  10. Domain Name Transfer

    1. Jetdomains will transfer existing (registered) domains from existing hosting providers to Jetdomains' DNS and web servers. Upon requesting the transfer, and accepting the relevant service terms, the client explicitly agrees that it has the authority to do so, being the registrant of the domain in question, or having been nominated as an agent of the registrant. The client thereby indemnifies Jetdomains from any disputes regarding ownership of the domain and any claims as a result thereof.

  11. Limitation on Liability

    1. JETDOMAINS WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO THE CLIENT OR ANY THIRD PARTY IN RESPECT OF ANY AND ALL DAMAGES, LOSS, CLAIMS OR COSTS, OF WHATEVER NATURE AND INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, SUFFERED BY THE CLIENT OR THIRD PARTY, HOWSOEVER ARISING, AND JETDOMAINS WILL MOREOVER NOT BE LIABLE WHETHER THE LOSS WAS THE RESULT OF THE ACT OR OMISSION OF A JETDOMAINS EMPLOYEE, VICARIOUS OR STRICT LIABILITY.

    2. In the event that Jetdomains is nonetheless held liable, the quantum of Jetdomains' liability will not exceed the monthly or pro-rata fees due for the Service that occasioned the loss, in the preceding three (3) months, regardless of whether the claim arises out of negligence on the part of Jetdomains or any other cause.

    3. USE OF THE SERVICES INDICATES THAT THE CLIENT INDEMNIFIES AND HOLDS JETDOMAINS HARMLESS IN RESPECT OF ANY DAMAGES, LOSS OR COSTS OR CLAIMS INSTITUTED AGAINST JETDOMAINS ARISING FROM ANY APPLICATION OR SUBSCRIPTION TO OR USE OF ANY SERVICE OR BREACH OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO IT.

    4. These limitations on liability and indemnities apply to the benefit of Jetdomains and Jetdomains' affiliates, directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents and other representatives, as well as any third parties whose networks are connected to the Jetdomains platform.

    5. Nothing contained in this clause will limit the client's liability in respect of charges incurred for ongoing services.

    6. If the consumer protection act 68 of 2008 is applicable to this agreement, and any provision of this clause is found by a court or tribunal with jurisdiction over Jetdomains to be unfair, unreasonable or unjust, then that provision (whether it be a word, phrase or sub-clause) will be severed, and the remainder of this clause will have full force and effect.

    7. In the case of ambiguity, this clause will take precedence over any expression of the parties' intention, whether express or implied, that may be contained elsewhere in this agreement.

    8. Jetdomains has not and does not conduct pre-registration searches in respect of the client's use and registration of its selected Domain Name/s and is therefore not obliged to either advise the Domain Name client about possible conflicting third party rights or to take steps to ensure against possible disputes concerning a third party's intellectual property or other rights.

    9. Jetdomains reserves the right to disclose pertinent information to registrars for public disclosure as per the terms and conditions of the registrar. Jetdomains will not be held liable for any claims of infringement of privacy by fulfilling such registration conditions.

    10. The client indemnifies Jetdomains by warranting that the use or registration of the Domain Name by a client does not interfere with nor infringe the rights 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, and that client has the right to use the Domain Name as requested.

    11. Jetdomains cannot act as an arbiter of disputes arising out of the registration and use of Domain Names. At the same time, clients acknowledge that Jetstream may be presented with evidence that a Domain Name registered by a client violates the rights of a third party. In such instance Jetdomains shall be allowed to provide a complainant with the client's name and address and all further communication will exclude Jetdomains and Jetdomains will have no further obligations to the client. In such instance the client shall be entitled to continue using the Domain Name registered for the client by Jetdomains until a court or other body with jurisdiction directs otherwise.

    12. Jetdomains will not be liable for any loss or damage, 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 which may be suffered as a result of or which may be attributable, directly or indirectly, to the use and/or registration of the client's selected domain names/s OR ANY ACTION TAKEN BY JETDOMAINS IN RESPONSE TO THE ABUSE OF THE DOMAIN REGISTRATION SERVICES WHICH IT OFFERS.

    13. The client hereby indemnifies and holds harmless Jetdomains against any loss whatsoever arising from any dispute or claim or other action occasioned by the client's use and registration of its selected Domain Name, even if Jetstream has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

    14. Jetdomains will not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss, damage, cost or expense of any kind, irrespective of how such damage or loss was caused, whether arising under contract, delict or otherwise, including, and not limited to, data loss or corruption, loss of profits, contracts, operation time and goodwill.

    15. Neither Jetdomains, its employees, affiliates, agents, third party information providers, merchants, licensers or the like, warrant that Jetdomains' service will not be interrupted or error-free; nor do they make any warranty as to the results that may be obtained from the use of the service or as to the accuracy, reliability or content of any information service or merchandise contained in or provided through the Jetdomains service, unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement.

    16. Jetdomains expressly limits its liability to the client for damages suffered due to any non-accessibility time or other down time to the pro-rata monthly charge during the system unavailability. Jetdomains specifically denies any responsibilities for any damages arising as a consequence of such unavailability.

    17. Jetdomains is not responsible if an external company network and firewall is setup to block access to services Jetdomains provides. If a client's network is setup to block certain ports or web addresses that compromise the services Jetdomains provides, it is the client's responsibility to ensure that their network configurations are changed as necessary.

    18. Clients also hereby indemnify Jetdomains against any 3rd party claims against themselves as resellers or services provided to the public or privately. Clients will be solely liable to external parties for losses and may, in no way, petition Jetdomains to share or cover such losses or liability, either directly or indirectly. Jetdomains is also indemnified from direct claims from clients for losses incurred due to 3rd party actions or claims.
