Domain Names Express expressly reserves the right to change or modify its prices and fees at any time and such changes or modifications shall be effective immediately upon the earlier of (i) our email notification to you advising you of such changes or modifications or (ii) your electronic acceptance of this Agreement after such changes or modifications have been made. 

Payment may be made by you by “Express Checkout” (where available) or by providing a valid credit card, an online check, a personal check, a gift card (except as prohibited in any product-specific agreement), or using “Good As Gold Prepaid Services” to establish a cash reserve for charge by Domain Names Express (each, a “Payment Method”). Your Good As Gold Account (as defined below) may be funded by a money order or a personal check as further described below. With Express Checkout enabled, clicking the “Express Checkout” button for a product that offers Express Checkout will automatically place an order for that product and charge the primary Payment Method on your Account. Confirmation of that order will be sent to the email address on file for your Account. Your Payment Method on file must be kept valid if you have any active products in your Account.

If you signed up for a monthly payment plan, your monthly billing date will be determined based on the day of the month you purchase the Services unless that date falls after the 28th of the month, in which case your billing date will be the 28th of each month. If you signed up for an annual (or longer) payment plan, and you elected the automatic renewal option, Domain Names Express will automatically renew your Services when they come up for renewal and will take payment from the Payment Method you have on file with Domain Names Express at Domain Names Express’s then current rates.

If for any reason Domain Names Express is unable to charge your Payment Method for the full amount owed Domain Names Express for the Services provided, or if Domain Names Express is charged a penalty for any fee it previously charged to your Payment Method, you agree that Domain Names Express may pursue all available remedies in order to obtain payment. If you pay by credit card and if for any reason Domain Names Express is unable to charge your credit card with the full amount of the Services provided, or if Domain Names Express is charged back for any fee it previously charged to the credit card you provided, you agree that Domain Names Express may pursue all available remedies in order to obtain payment. You agree that the remedies Domain Names Express may pursue in order to effect payment shall include, but not be limited to, immediate cancellation without notice to you of any domain names or Services registered or renewed on your behalf. Domain Names Express reserves the right to charge you a reasonable administrative fee for administrative tasks outside the scope of its regular Services, including additional costs that it may incur in providing the Services. These include, but are not limited to, customer service issues that cannot be handled over email but require personal service, fees incurred by third-party payment providers, including PayPal and Certegy, Inc., and disputes that require legal services. These charges will be billed to the Payment Method we have on file for you. You may change your Payment Method at any time by logging into your “Account Manager”. 

You acknowledge and agree that you are solely liable for arranging that your Services are renewed, and that Domain Names Express shall not be liable to you or any third party if it is unable to charge your Payment Method in order to renew your Services.

While all transactions are processed in U.S. dollars, Domain Names Express may provide an estimated conversion price to currencies other than U.S. dollars. You acknowledge and agree that the pricing displayed during the checkout process is an estimate. Due to potential slight time delays between the actual purchase and the payment settlement, the actual price charged may fluctuate. Domain Names Express makes no representations or warranties that the estimated price will be the same or substantially similar to the actual price you will pay and you waive any and all claims based upon any discrepancy between the estimate and the actual price and the price paid and any subsequent refund. In addition, you may be charged VAT, GST or other localized taxes, based on the country indicated in your billing address section. Any amounts to be charged will appear during the checkout process.

(A) GOOD AS GOLD PREPAID SERVICES

Service Details

By using Good As Gold Prepaid Services, you can transfer funds to Domain Names Express in advance and use the balance of your Good As Gold Prepaid Services account (“Good As Gold Account”) as you please. You can use your Good As Gold Account to purchase any of Domain Names Express’s Services. Payment is to be made by you providing either a valid credit card, wire transfer, a money order, or personal check. All money orders will be delayed ten (10) days until the money is credited, which may delay your use of the Services, and any money order that does not clear will result in a $25.00 processing fee. Personal checks may only be used for payments of $100.00 or more, and may not be made for less than the amount required at purchase. Personal checks under $1,000.00 are subject to the same processing fees as wire transfers. All personal checks will be delayed fourteen (14) days until the money is credited, which may delay your use of the Services. You agree that if the electronic funds transfer (“EFT”) or bank draft is returned unpaid, you will pay a service charge of $25.00 or the maximum amount allowed by law, which may be debited from your Good As Gold Account using an EFT or bank draft.

You can verify the remaining funds in your Good As Gold Account at any time by logging into “Manage Your Account” or through the shopping cart on the Domain Names Express website. Should you decide to terminate your Good As Gold Account and seek a refund, your refund will be made by check net of any discounts, including, but not limited to, reduced or waived wire transfer fees and/or the Cash Discount (as defined below).

You acknowledge that funds transferred to your Good As Gold Account will be held by Domain Names Express and will not accrue or pay interest for your benefit. To the extent any interest may accrue, you understand and agree that Domain Names Express shall be entitled to receive and keep any such amounts to cover costs associated with Good As Gold Prepaid Services.

You acknowledge that all transactions using Good As Gold Prepaid Services will be conducted in U.S. dollars and that it is your responsibility to arrange for foreign currency translations prior to funding your Good As Gold Account. Wire transfers received by Domain Names Express in foreign currencies will be returned and you will be responsible for the cost of returning such funds. Your Good As Gold Account must be funded on an initial basis with no less than $100.00, paid in U.S. funds. You agree that you will be responsible for all wire transfer fees, both incoming and outgoing, associated with your Good As Gold Account. Any non-U.S. wire transfers may be subject to fees by either your bank, intermediary banks or Domain Names Express’s bank, which may reduce the amount of the money received by Domain Names Express’s bank and subsequently funded into your Good As Gold Account. Customers funding a Good As Gold Account with a wire of $1,000.00 or more shall not be subject to a $20.00 wire transfer processing fee from Domain Names Express. You hereby expressly give Domain Names Express permission to reduce your Good As Gold Account by the amount of wire transfer fees Domain Names Express incurs in order to receive your funds. All fees are subject to change and will be updated online in this Agreement.

The Cash Discount will be reflected in your Good As Gold Account balance. Thus, purchases will reduce your Good As Gold Account balance by ninety-eight percent (98%) of the total purchase price of each transaction. For example, if your Good As Gold Account is funded with an initial amount of $100.00 and you make a $10.00 purchase, your Good As Gold Account will be reduced by only $9.80. Domain Names Express reserves the right to discontinue or change the Cash Discount at any time, without notice.

Your Use of Good As Gold Prepaid Services

Use of funds in your Good As Gold Account can only be made through the Domain Names Express purchase process at Domain Names Express’s website. Purchases may not be made unless there are sufficient, available funds in your Good As Gold Account at the time of purchase to cover the entire purchase amount, including any related fees as set forth herein or in other relevant agreements.

Additional funds may be added to your Good As Gold Account at any time. The minimum increment for funds transfers is $100.00.

You will be able to access your Good As Gold Account activity and records from the “Manage Your Account” link on Domain Names Express’s website. Your Good As Gold Account will show purchases and the amount of funds remaining in your Good As Gold Account. Domain Names Express reserves the right at all times to disclose any information about your Good As Gold Account as Domain Names Express deems necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, or to edit, refuse to post or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part from your Good As Gold Account, in the sole and absolute discretion of Domain Names Express.

(B) PAY BY CHECK

By using Domain Names Express’s pay by check option (“Pay By Check”), you can purchase Domain Names Express Services using a personal check. In connection therewith, you agree to allow Certegy Check Services, Inc. (“Certegy”) to debit the full amount of your purchase from your checking account (“Checking Account”), which is non-refundable. Certegy will create an EFT or bank draft which will be presented to your bank or financial institution for payment from your Checking Account. The Checking Account must be at a financial institution in the United States, and the check must be payable in U.S. dollars.

It is your responsibility to keep your Checking Account current and to have available funds in it. You agree that Certegy and Domain Names Express will not be responsible for payments that fail to go through as a result of your Checking Account no longer existing or holding insufficient funds. If for any reason Certegy is unable to withdraw the full amount owed for the Services provided, you agree that Certegy and Domain Names Express may pursue all available remedies in order to obtain payment. You agree that if the EFT or bank draft is returned unpaid, you will pay a service charge in accordance with the fees provided below, or as otherwise permitted by law. These fees may be debited from your Checking Account using an EFT or bank draft.

The check may not be for less than the full amount required at that time. Personal checks under $1,000.00 are subject to the same processing fees as wire transfers. All personal checks may be delayed up to fourteen (14) days until the money is credited, which may delay your use of the Services.

By clicking the box labeled “I agree” to the terms of the Pay by Check Agreement, you authorize the information provided to be used for the creation of an EFT or bank draft and you authorize a debit of the full amount of your purchase from your Checking Account.

(C) PAY BY PAYPAL

By using Domain Names Express’s pay by PayPal payment option (“PayPal”), you can purchase Domain Names Express Services using PayPal. In connection therewith, you agree to allow PayPal to debit the full amount of your purchase from your PayPal account (“PayPal Account”) or from the credit card(s), debit card(s), bank account(s), or other allowed Payment Method(s) linked to your PayPal Account (“PayPal Funding Source”).

It is your responsibility to keep your PayPal Account and PayPal Funding Source current and funded, and your PayPal Account backed by a valid credit card. You agree that PayPal and Domain Names Express will not be responsible for payments that fail to go through as a result of your PayPal Account or PayPal Funding Source no longer existing or holding insufficient funds. If for any reason PayPal is unable to withdraw the full amount owed for your purchase, you agree that PayPal and Domain Names Express may pursue all available remedies in order to obtain payment. You agree that if the transaction is returned unpaid, you will pay a service charge of $25.00 or the maximum amount allowed by law, which may be debited from your PayPal Account or PayPal Funding Source.

By clicking the box labeled “I agree” to the terms of the PayPal payment option, you authorize a debit of the full amount of your purchase from your PayPal Account or PayPal Funding Source.

(D) PAY BY ALIPAY

By using Domain Names Express’s pay by Alipay payment option (“Alipay”), you can purchase Domain Names Express Services using Alipay. In connection therewith, you agree to allow Alipay to debit the full amount of your purchase from your Alipay account (“Alipay Account”) or from the credit card(s), debit card(s), bank account(s), or other allowed Payment Method(s) linked to your Alipay Account (“Alipay Funding Source”). In addition, you agree to allow Alipay to debit an “Exchange Rate Conversion Fee”, as well as any other fees or charges applicable to your agreement with Alipay (the Exchange Rate Conversion Fee, together with the other fees or charges, collectively known as the “Alipay Fees”), from your Alipay Account or Alipay Funding Source. The Alipay Fees are subject to change at any time by Alipay without notice to you by Domain Names Express.

It is your responsibility to keep your Alipay Account and Alipay Funding Source current and funded. You agree that Alipay and Domain Names Express will not be responsible for payments that fail to go through as a result of your Alipay Account or Alipay Funding Source no longer existing or holding insufficient funds. You acknowledge that Domain Names Express will not attempt to fulfill the Services purchased by you until Domain Names Express receives confirmation of payment from Alipay. If you use a bank account (via an “Online Bank Transfer”) as your Alipay Funding Source, you acknowledge there may be a gap of several hours between the time you place your order and the time Alipay confirms payment. If Domain Names Express does not receive confirmation of payment from Alipay within twelve (12) hours, your order may be cancelled, at which time you will have to begin the purchase process again.

In addition, in the event (i) the Services (including domain names) in your shopping cart are no longer available for purchase by the time Domain Names Express receives confirmation of payment from Alipay, or (ii) you change the Services (including domain names) in your shopping cart after Domain Names Express redirects you to Alipay for payment (and, as a result, your purchase is either over-funded or under-funded), Domain Names Express will issue an automatic refund to your Alipay Account, and you will have to begin the purchase process again. Any refunds issued by Domain Names Express (automatic or otherwise) will be net of the Alipay Fees.

By clicking the box labeled “I agree” to the terms of the Alipay payment option, you authorize a debit of the full amount of your purchase (as well as the Alipay Fees) from your Alipay Account or Alipay Funding Source.
