You and your legal guardian are solely responsible for any consequences resulting from unauthorized registration or use.

2.2.6 Unless otherwise agreed, each Nameslink account is unique and may independently conduct activities on the Platform.

2.3.1 You may access the Platform using your Nameslink account to utilize Nameslink Services. Nameslink reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any service at its discretion, including but not limited to adding or removing product categories, altering service content, or upgrading versions.

If you disagree with any changes, you must cease using the affected services.

These services include prompting you to enable security features, providing basic monitoring and alert capabilities, and issuing notifications through designated channels in the event of unusual account activity. To enable these features, you acknowledge and agree that Nameslink may collect and analyze records of your account activity to identify and alert on high-risk events. You understand and accept that, while Nameslink provides these account security monitoring services, you remain primarily responsible for the security of your own account. Nameslink does not guarantee the effectiveness or reliability of the free services provided and shall not be held liable for any consequences (including, but not limited to, your losses) resulting from the leakage or compromise of other login authentication methods.

Article 3 Service Fees and Settlement

3.1 Transactions on the Platform require prepayment through account funding. You may deposit funds into your Nameslink account, which will be credited as account balances for purchasing services on the Platform. Refunds for unused balances are available, subject to potential handling fees as displayed on the Platform. Nameslink does not issue invoices for handling charges related to fund deposits and withdrawals borne by the User.

3.2 You shall ensure that your Nameslink account is funded in a timely manner to maintain uninterrupted use of the Services. The applicable fees for Nameslink Services will be clearly displayed on the relevant service pages. You may select the specific service type and pay the listed price; Nameslink will deduct the corresponding fees from your deposited balance. You shall ensure that your account balance is sufficient. If you fail to fund your account in a timely manner and the balance is insufficient to cover the applicable fees, Nameslink reserves the right to refuse to provide, suspend, or terminate the relevant Services.

3.3 You agree that we reserve the right to adjust the pricing of paid Services and will notify you of such adjustments on the relevant service pages or other appropriate pages. After the new pricing takes effect, you must accept the adjusted pricing in order to continue purchasing the relevant Services. If you do not accept the adjusted pricing, you may discontinue purchasing the relevant Services.

3.4 You may view your subscribed Services and corresponding billing statements on the relevant Nameslink pages. Unless otherwise agreed, if you have any objections to a billing statement, you must raise such objections within five (5) business days of receipt. Failure to raise an objection within such period shall be deemed acceptance of the billing statement. If you raise an objection within the foregoing period, the parties shall attempt to resolve the matter through good-faith negotiation; however, you understand and agree that if consultation fails and you are unable to provide sufficient supporting evidence, the records in the Nameslink system shall prevail.

3.5 You may earn points by participating in activities initiated by Nameslink or through other means as specified by Nameslink, and use such points in connection with certain Services supported by Nameslink. The rules governing the earning, use, and other aspects of points shall be as published by Nameslink on the relevant points pages.

3.6 Unless expressly permitted by these Terms or a refund policy separately published by Nameslink, all fees paid by Users for domain services (including but not limited to registration fees, renewal fees, and redemption fees) are final and non-reversible upon completion of the transaction, and shall not be refunded, reversed, or converted into account balance or points.

3.7 All fees payable by Users for Services and other charges do not include any taxes or duties (including but not limited to Value Added Tax (VAT), Goods and Services Tax (GST), sales tax, communication tax, etc.) that are required to be paid under applicable laws and regulations (including local laws or ordinances) (collectively referred to as "Taxes"). Users shall bear and pay all Taxes payable in connection with all amounts due under these Terms. Where required by applicable law, the relevant Taxes will be included in the amount payable by the User, so that the net amount actually received by Nameslink equals the full amount payable under these Terms.

3.8 The User agrees to promptly notify Nameslink of any Taxes related to any fees paid under these Terms and provide us with relevant supporting documents and information (including the User's tax registration number). If the User is legally entitled to any Tax exemption, the User agrees to provide Nameslink with valid and current tax exemption certificates applicable to the relevant tax jurisdictions. Nameslink will apply such exemptions to the fees incurred under the User's account from the date of receipt of the tax exemption certificates. If, during a tax authority audit of the User's transactions with Nameslink, the tax exemption documents provided by the User are challenged and deemed invalid, resulting in any Taxes being imposed on Nameslink, the User agrees to indemnify Nameslink for such Taxes, interest, and penalties.

3.9 If the User is required under any applicable law or regulation (whether domestic or foreign) to withhold or deduct any withholding tax from amounts payable to Nameslink, the User shall increase the amount payable accordingly to ensure that, after such deduction or withholding, the net amount actually received and retained by Nameslink equals the amount that would have been received if no such deduction or withholding had been required. Furthermore, the User agrees to provide us, within 30 calendar days after payment, with relevant supporting documents proving that such deducted or withheld taxes have been timely and properly paid to the relevant tax authorities. The domain names and services listed on Nameslink are priced exclusive of tax. Nameslink will update the applicable tax rate and amount on invoices according to the latest tax regulations of the respective countries or regions involved in each transaction and the registration status of the transacting parties.

Article 4 Confidentiality Obligations

4.1 Nameslink shall implement appropriate security and confidentiality measures to protect all data and information involving the trade secrets of Business Partners or the personal information of Users (collectively, "Confidential Information"). Unless consent is obtained from the parties to the transaction, Nameslink shall not disclose, transfer, use, or sell any data involving the Confidential Information—such as the identities of the transaction parties or transaction records—to any third party, except under the following circumstances:

4.1.1 The Confidential Information has become publicly known through no fault of Nameslink;

4.1.2 The Confidential Information is obtained through channels outside of Nameslink that are not subject to confidentiality obligations;

4.1.3 The disclosure is required by applicable law, court order, or request from a competent governmental or regulatory authority;

4.1.4 In the event of a dispute between the parties to a transaction, one party requests Nameslink to provide relevant information of the counterparty for the purpose of dispute resolution, unless otherwise provided by applicable law or regulation;

4.1.5 Where a third party files an infringement complaint against a User, and (a) the User acknowledges the infringement, (b) fails to respond without reasonable justification, or (c) Nameslink, upon prudent assessment, determines the complaint to be valid, Nameslink may, upon the complainant's request, disclose relevant User information to the complainant for the purpose of pursuing legal remedies or protecting their rights, unless otherwise provided by applicable law or regulation;

4.1.6 Other disclosure scenarios as permitted under the Nameslink Privacy Policy.

Article 5 Force Majeure and Limitation of Liability

5.1 All domain services provided by Nameslink to Users (including but not limited to domain name registration, renewal, and redemption) are subject to the review and determination of the relevant domain name Registry, ICANN, or other third-party authorities. Nameslink shall use reasonable efforts to assist Users in completing the relevant operations, but makes no express or implied guarantee as to the ultimate success of any service.

5.2 Users shall ensure that all information and materials submitted to Nameslink (including but not limited to domain name registration information, account information, contact details, and identification documents) are true, accurate, complete, and lawful. Users are obligated to promptly update such information whenever changes occur so that it remains current at all times. Users shall bear all consequences arising from the failure of services, delays, or disputes caused by the submission of false, erroneous, outdated, or incomplete information.

5.3 Users shall independently maintain records of domain name expiration dates and critical operational deadlines, and shall not rely solely on notifications, reminders, or system displays from Nameslink as the exclusive basis for taking action. Nameslink may send Users domain expiration reminders, operation confirmations, and other notices; however, such notices are provided as a convenience only, and Nameslink makes no guarantee as to the timeliness, accuracy, or delivery of such notifications.

5.4 When using any domain services provided by Nameslink, Users shall comply with ICANN policies, the rules of the relevant Registry, and applicable laws and regulations. Where such policies, rules, or laws impose additional conditions, restrictions, or requirements on specific services, Users shall independently ascertain and comply with such requirements. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of these Terms and the policies of the relevant Registry, the policies of the Registry shall prevail.

5.5 To the extent permitted by applicable law, Nameslink shall not be liable for the following matters specific to domain services:

(a) Failure, delay, or limitation of domain name registration, renewal, redemption, transfer, or information modification services, or changes in timelines or fees, caused by policy changes, review determinations, processing delays, or refusals to process by the Registry, upstream registrar, or other third-party authorities;

(b) Any commercial efficacy of any domain name, including its commercial value, investment return, traffic acquisition potential, or market performance;

(c) Intellectual property or other disputes arising from a domain name held or used by a User that is identical or similar to a third party's trademark, trade name, or other proprietary identifier;

(d) Changes in domain name status, loss of rights, or other adverse consequences resulting from a User's failure to comply with these Terms or to take necessary actions in a timely manner (including but not limited to failure to renew or redeem in a timely manner, failure to update information, failure to disable the Domain Transfer Lock, or failure to participate in an auction);

(e) Other risks arising from online information or User conduct.

5.6 NAMESLINK SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS BASED ON CURRENT SERVICE AVAILABILITY AND PRODUCT FEATURES. NAMESLINK MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, UNINTERRUPTED AVAILABILITY, ERROR-FREE OPERATION, OR SECURITY OF THE SERVICES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NAMESLINK SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS ARISING FROM TEMPORARY INTERRUPTION, DELAY, ERROR, OR UNAVAILABILITY OF THE SERVICES.

5.7 Users understand and agree that the use of the Services may be subject to risks including Force Majeure events, which may cause the Services to be interrupted or rendered unavailable. "Force Majeure" as used in these Terms refers to objective circumstances that are unforeseeable, unavoidable, and insurmountable, including but not limited to natural disasters (such as typhoons, floods, earthquakes, epidemics, etc.) and abnormal social events (such as war, civil unrest, strikes, government actions, etc.). Where Force Majeure causes the full or partial non-performance of these Terms, Nameslink shall not be liable to the extent affected by such Force Majeure, but shall promptly notify Users of the Force Majeure circumstances and use reasonable efforts to eliminate or mitigate its effects.

5.8 To the extent permitted by applicable law, Nameslink shall not be liable for any service interruption or disruption caused by any of the following circumstances:

(a) Damages caused by computer viruses, trojans, malware, or cyberattacks;

(b) Malfunctions in software, systems, hardware, or communication lines belonging to either the User or Nameslink;

(c) Improper operation by the User, or use of the Services through means not authorized by Nameslink;

(d) Interruptions caused by public utilities or third-party service providers, including power, telecommunications, or basic network infrastructure;

(e) Other circumstances beyond Nameslink's reasonable control or that could not have been reasonably foreseen.

In the event of the foregoing circumstances, Nameslink reserves the right to make corresponding adjustments to the service content and delivery methods, and shall use reasonable efforts to restore the Services in a timely manner.

5.9 Where these Terms otherwise provide for the allocation of liability, such provisions shall prevail.

Article 6 Intellectual Property

6.1 All intellectual property rights in the technical systems, platform software, and related technical materials provided by Nameslink to Users in connection with domain name registration and related services belong to Nameslink (excluding third-party software). Other than the limited right to use such materials within the scope of the license and during the service term as necessary for the use of the Services, you do not acquire any ownership or other rights therein, nor shall you obtain access to such content through reverse engineering, cracking, or similar means.

6.2 You shall not infringe upon our copyrights, trademarks, or other proprietary rights. The marks, the word "Nameslink," graphics and their combinations, as well as the names, marks, and technical documentation associated with the related services, constitute intellectual property owned by us and our affiliates. The unauthorized copying, modification, use, or publication of such marks, text, graphics, and related materials is strictly prohibited. Without prior written permission, you may not use our trade name, trademarks, or brand identities for external publicity or to imply a cooperative endorsement.

Article 7 Liability for Breach

7.1 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither party or its affiliates shall be liable to the other party for any indirect or consequential loss or damage arising out of or in connection with these Terms, including any loss of revenue, profits, opportunities, customers, goodwill, reputation, data, or data use, even if such party or its affiliates have been advised of or were aware of the possibility of such loss or that such loss may be caused by the other party.

7.2 Unless otherwise provided in these Terms, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Nameslink's liability to Users shall be limited to direct losses actually suffered by the User and shall not include any indirect or incidental losses such as loss, including but not limited to loss of anticipated profits, loss of goodwill, or loss of data.

7.3 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Nameslink's aggregate liability to a User under these Terms shall not exceed the total amount of service fees actually received by Nameslink in connection with the specific transaction directly giving rise to such claim (i.e., the individual domain name transaction or service order from which the claim arises). If the claim cannot be attributed to a specific individual transaction, the liability cap shall be the total amount of service fees actually received by Nameslink in respect of the User's account during the 12 months preceding the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim.

7.4 You shall be liable for any losses caused to Nameslink or other Users of Nameslink as a result of your breach of these Terms or any applicable laws, regulations, policies, or industry standards. Nameslink's failure to take timely action against your breach or violation shall not constitute Nameslink's acknowledgment or waiver of such breach or violation, nor shall it relieve you of any legal liability you are required to bear under applicable law in respect of such conduct.

Article 8 Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

8.1 The validity, interpretation, performance, and dispute resolution of these Terms shall be governed by the laws and regulations of Hong Kong, the domain dispute resolution policies issued by relevant domain name authorities, and applicable norms and practices within the information technology and domain name industries.

8.2 Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or Nameslink Services shall be resolved by the parties through good-faith negotiation. If such consultation fails to result in a resolution, either party may submit the dispute to the jurisdiction of the courts of Hong Kong, on an exclusive basis, to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms or their subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims).

Article 9 Miscellaneous

9.1 These Terms include the provisions set forth herein as well as any rules, policies, or guidelines that Nameslink has issued or may issue in the future. All such rules form an integral part of these Terms and shall have the same legal effect. By using Nameslink Services, User acknowledges that they have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the entirety of these Terms and all applicable rules, and further undertakes to comply with all applicable laws and regulations of Hong Kong. In the event of any violation resulting in legal liability, User shall assume such liability in their own name and at their own expense.

9.2 In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the provisions of these Terms and any prior agreement between the parties or any previous statements made by Nameslink, these Terms shall prevail.

9.3 If either party changes its notice address, correspondence address, or other contact information, it shall notify the other party of the updated address or contact information within thirty (30) days of such change. Failure to provide such notice shall render the non-notifying party liable for all consequences arising therefrom. You agree that any notices from Nameslink published on the Nameslink official website shall be deemed duly delivered.

9.4 Nameslink reserves the right, in connection with business adjustments and service needs, to assign all rights and obligations under these Terms to its affiliates. Such assignment shall be notified to Users in the manner provided in these Terms. If the User continues to use Nameslink Services, the User shall be deemed to have consented to the successor entity as the counterparty performing obligations with the User.

9.5 These Terms are written in both Chinese and English. In the event of any inconsistency between the two versions, the English version shall prevail.

9.6 If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or if such modification is not possible, shall be deemed severed from these Terms, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

9.7 The provisions of these Terms that by their nature are intended to survive termination or expiration (including, without limitation, Articles 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 of the General Terms, as well as any accrued payment obligations and indemnification obligations under the Special Terms) shall survive any termination or expiration of these Terms or any individual service.

9.8 You may not assign, transfer, or delegate these Terms or any of your rights or obligations hereunder without Nameslink's prior written consent. Any purported assignment in violation of this provision shall be null and void.

Appendix: Special Terms

I. Pre-Release Service

1. A "Pre-Release Domain" refers to a domain name that has expired and is managed by a domain registrar, which—within the scope permitted by ICANN—establishes its own conditions and procedures for offering conditional registration application rights to eligible specified or unspecified users via a pre-bidding mechanism. This is done while still preserving the original registrant's redemption right. If the original registrant fails to redeem the domain during the redemption period, and Nameslink submits domain registration information which passes review by the domain registry, the successful bidder shall become the de facto new registrant of the domain name.

2. "Successful Pre-Release Domain Registration" refers to a situation where a user participates in the pre-release domain auction, wins the bid, and pays the applicable bidding fee, thereby obtaining a conditional registration application right. If the original registrant fails to redeem the domain within the high-price redemption period, the Buyer authorizes Nameslink to submit qualified domain registration information—naming Nameslink as the registrant—to the registry. Upon successful review and approval by the registry, the Buyer shall acquire a one-year right of domain name ownership. The one-year ownership period shall be calculated from the day following the expiration of the original registrant's domain name term, not from the date of the successful bid or the date of pre-release domain registration approval.

3. User fully understands and agrees that the subject matter of a pre-release auction is not the domain name itself, but the conditional right to apply for its registration. User further acknowledges that such application right is exercisable only if the original registrant does not exercise their redemption right during the designated redemption period.

4. User acknowledges and agrees that the total fees payable upon winning a pre-release auction include: (i) the bidding service fee, and (ii) the domain name registration (or renewal) fee for one year.

5. The pre-release bidding process shall follow the procedures and conditions set out on the applicable Platform pages and system rules, and shall generally consist of the following stages:

5.1 User selects a desired pre-release domain, freezes the bid deposit, and participates in the bidding process by submitting a bid or setting a proxy bid.

5.2 Upon conclusion of the bidding period, the leading bidder shall pay the domain name fees at the final winning bid amount.

5.3 If the domain name is not redeemed by the original registrant during the high-price redemption period, the domain name shall be transferred into Nameslink-managed account under the registrar, and the successful bidder shall acquire de facto ownership.

6. Termination of the Pre-Release Process

6.1 The successful bidder completes payment and the domain is transferred into Nameslink-managed account under the registrar—upon which the transaction is deemed completed and the process terminates.

6.2 The successful bidder fails to complete payment within the designated time period; in such case, the frozen deposit shall be forfeited to Nameslink as liquidated damages, and the domain transaction shall be deemed failed and terminated.

6.3 No bids are submitted by the end of the auction, resulting in a failed auction—the process terminates.

6.4 If, during or after the auction but prior to final transfer, the original registrant redeems the domain name, User's deposit shall be unfrozen and any paid fees shall be refunded—the process terminates.

6.5 If competent governing authorities, the domain registry, judicial bodies, or domain dispute resolution institutions take measures that affect the domain, the domain shall be delisted, User's deposit shall be unfrozen, and any paid fees shall be refunded—the process terminates.

6.6 In the event of force majeure or other unforeseen circumstances, the domain shall be delisted, User's deposit shall be unfrozen, and any paid fees shall be refunded—the process terminates.

Users hereby reaffirm that they have fully read, understood, and voluntarily accepted the above Special Terms, and willingly proceed with the domain transaction process, thereby agreeing to be legally bound by all the above provisions.

II. Domain Name Registration Service

1. Nameslink provides Users with Domain Name Registration Services. By accepting this service, User shall simultaneously comply with the provisions of this Section.

2. You shall submit to us the information or materials necessary for a domain name registration application in accordance with our instructions. Nameslink may conduct a preliminary review of such information or materials based on the requirements of the applicable Registry and may reject applications that do not comply with the Registry's requirements; however, final determination shall rest with the Registry. You understand and agree that Nameslink merely submits relevant materials on your behalf and does not guarantee successful domain name registration, does not guarantee the timing of registration application or completion, does not guarantee that a registered domain name will not be subsequently deleted, and the foregoing review shall not be construed as imposing an obligation on Nameslink to review User's domain name registration applications.

3. User represents and warrants that: (a) all information provided in the registration application is true, accurate, and complete, and User shall notify Nameslink of any changes to such information within seven (7) days for updating; (b) User continuously satisfies the registration eligibility requirements specified for the applicable top-level domain, and shall promptly notify Nameslink upon loss of eligibility; (c) if User has provided false information, does not meet qualification requirements, or if the use of the domain name infringes upon any third-party rights, Nameslink shall have the right to immediately and unilaterally cancel the registration of such domain name, suspend resolution, or take other necessary measures.

4. You represent and warrant that in registering a domain name and using the registered domain name for information dissemination and provision of services, you shall comply with the regulations of ICANN and relevant national authorities, and complete any necessary filings or similar procedures (if applicable). In the event of changes to or modifications of ICANN regulations, domain names held by User shall immediately be subject to the then-effective regulations. Nameslink shall have the right, in accordance with ICANN policies, applicable laws, directives of regulatory authorities, and these Terms, to take appropriate measures in response to any illegal activities by you in the use of domain names, including but not limited to: requiring you to take corrective action, locking the domain name (i.e., prohibiting modification of information, prohibiting transfer to another registrar, prohibiting inter-account transfer, etc.), placing the domain on hold, deletion, or cancellation.

You further agree to submit to proceedings commenced under ICANN's Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP) and the Uniform Rapid Suspension System (URS), as applicable to domain names registered through Nameslink. You acknowledge that these dispute resolution mechanisms are binding and that you will abide by the outcomes thereof.

5. If, after you submit a domain name registration application to us, your domain name fails to be successfully registered due to any of the following circumstances, we shall refund the relevant fees already collected from you to your account (except for fees that the Registry explicitly provides are non-refundable). We shall not bear any other liability whatsoever, as specifically set forth below:

5.1 Registration failure due to User's own reasons, including but not limited to: errors, incompleteness, or format non-compliance in the registration application information submitted by you; your failure to submit required materials or documentary evidence within the prescribed time; your submitted documentation failing to meet Registry acceptance requirements; and any domain name ownership disputes arising therefrom;

5.2 Registration failure due to domain name competition, including but not limited to: the domain name having been registered by a third party prior to your submission of the application or prior to our receipt of your payment and completion of payment to the Registry, regardless of whether such prior registration is related to objective factors such as telecommunications network line failures, transmission delays, or communication equipment anomalies;

5.3 Registration failure or cancellation due to changes in external policies or rules, including but not limited to: enactment or adjustment of relevant national laws, regulations, or policies; modification of registration policies, adjustment of technical specifications, or termination of related services by ICANN or the applicable top-level domain Registry; or your applied-for domain name belonging to a category of domain names that are explicitly prohibited or restricted for registration under applicable laws, ICANN rules, or Registry rules;

5.4 Registration failure or delay due to our own reasons, including but not limited to: technical failures in our systems or operational errors by our personnel; and other factors that we could not reasonably foresee or objectively control.

6. Nameslink will subsequently launch domain name registration services for the initial period of new top-level domain names (including the Sunrise Period, Landrush Period, etc.), subject to the features actually launched by Nameslink.

7. Nameslink may provide Domain Name Registration Service to Users through collaboration with Partner registrars or third-party service providers. With respect to such third-party collaborative registration services, User understands and acknowledges that the domain name registration service is provided to you by a third-party registrar, that Nameslink is solely responsible for the transmission of registration information and providing assistance within a reasonable scope (this does not constitute an obligation of Nameslink), and that User shall comply with these Terms and the applicable service agreements or terms of the Partner registrar.

III. Domain Name Transaction Service

1. Nameslink provides Users with Domain Name Transaction Services. By accepting this service, User shall simultaneously comply with the provisions of this Section.

2. Buyers may browse domain name listings on the Platform and submit purchase orders. The Buyer is responsible for paying the listed sales price, along with any applicable taxes or fees, as displayed on the Platform.

3. For pre-release domain names, Buyers must pay a deposit as specified by the system prompt. The deposit ensures the completion of the transaction. If a Buyer successfully bids but fails to pay the winning bid amount by the designated deadline, Nameslink will deduct the entire deposit.

4. Sellers may list domain names for sale at a fixed price. Upon agreement of a transaction, Nameslink will pay the Seller the agreed fixed price. From the moment the transaction is confirmed until the domain name is transferred to the buyer, the ownership of the domain name shall reside with Nameslink. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that Nameslink will apply a service fee (subject to market-based adjustments) to determine the final sales price displayed to Buyers.

5. Domain Name Delivery

5.1 To participate in bidding for pre-release domain names, Buyers must pay a deposit as specified by the Platform. Upon winning a bid, the bid amount will be deducted from the Buyer's account balance. If the account balance is insufficient, the Buyer must complete payment within 72 hours. Failure to do so will be considered a breach of contract, resulting in cancellation of the transaction and forfeiture of the deposit.

5.2 Successfully purchased or bid domain names will be transferred to Nameslink-managed account with the relevant registrar, where Nameslink will be listed as the holder. Buyers retain full ownership and control of the domain name as outlined in these Terms. As the nominee holder, Nameslink will act solely on the Buyer's behalf and will not take any actions with respect to the domain name without the Buyer's explicit authorization.

5.3 Domain name prices, including all applicable fees, are clearly displayed on the Platform. If you disagree with Nameslink's pricing or fee policies, you must notify Nameslink in writing and discontinue use of Nameslink Services. Continued use of the Platform or Nameslink Services constitutes acceptance of these pricing and fee policies.

5.4 User acknowledges that each individual domain name purchase or sale constitutes a separate and independent agreement. A transaction is considered established once the User has paid the applicable domain name transaction fee. Once payment is made, Nameslink will not adjust transaction prices. However, Nameslink reserves the right to modify pricing standards at any time prior to User's completion of payment. Nameslink is not liable for disputes arising from such price adjustments, except where required by applicable law.

6. Buyer's Rights and Obligations

6.1 Prior to placing an order for a domain name transaction, Buyers must independently verify the domain name's status, including its legal ownership, any risks, ongoing or potential litigation, arbitration proceedings, or any other encumbrances. Buyers shall independently assess the associated risks and bear all resulting consequences. During the purchase process, due to the possibility that the Seller or Partner may concurrently manage or modify domain settings, the Buyer is advised to carefully review and confirm the final domain purchase price, applicable taxes, and any other fees on the final payment page before completing the transaction.

6.2 The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that once payment for the domain name transaction is made, or once a bid has been successfully placed, the purchase application may not be unilaterally withdrawn. The Buyer shall not seek to cancel the transaction or raise objections on the grounds of operational error, buyer's remorse, unreasonable pricing, or market fluctuations, or for any similar reason. Furthermore, the Buyer acknowledges that payment does not constitute a guarantee of a successful transaction. If, for any reason, the domain name cannot be transferred into a Nameslink-managed account under the registrar and thus cannot become an asset of the Buyer, Nameslink shall refund the purchase amount paid by the Buyer.

6.3 The Buyer acknowledges and understands that the successful completion of a domain name purchase may be affected by various factors beyond Nameslink's control, including but not limited to: prior purchase actions by other Buyers, renewal of the domain by the original registrant (in pre-release transactions), applicable national laws, acts of government authorities, policies and actions of domain name management bodies, and force majeure events. Nameslink does not guarantee the success of any transaction and shall bear no liability for the failure to complete the domain name purchase.

6.4 During the domain purchase process, if Nameslink requires the Buyer to submit identification documents or other supporting materials in order to complete the transaction, the Buyer shall provide such documentation. The Buyer shall also truthfully disclose any additional information reasonably requested by Nameslink. The Buyer shall be legally liable for any false or inaccurate information provided.

6.5 The Buyer warrants that all funds used for domain name transactions are lawfully obtained. The Buyer shall bear full legal responsibility for any illegal activity resulting from improper or unlawful sources of funds. Unless otherwise required by law, Nameslink shall not be held liable in this regard.

6.6 The Buyer understands and agrees that upon successful completion of the domain name transaction, the Buyer shall become the de facto holder of the domain name, retain full ownership and control of the domain name (though with the Whois record publicly listing Nameslink as the registrant). Nameslink shall bear no liability for any disputes or losses arising from the Buyer's ownership or use of the domain name. Furthermore, the Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Nameslink harmless from any third-party claims, legal actions, or damages arising from the Buyer's ownership or use of the domain name.

6.7 Buyers shall exercise appropriate caution and self-protection, and shall not trust unsolicited requests for loans, passwords, or other financial information. For any transactions involving financial assets, Buyers shall verify the identity of the counterparty and pay close attention to anti-fraud advisories issued by Nameslink.

6.8 Buyers must provide accurate and up-to-date contact information to Nameslink (including email address, mailing address, and other contact details). Buyer shall bear all legal consequences resulting from the provision of incorrect or outdated contact information.

6.9 Buyer shall not use the Platform, Nameslink Services or its transaction rules to engage in any unlawful or prohibited activities, including but not limited to credit card fraud, money laundering, or similar conduct.

6.10 Buyer acknowledges and agrees that if Nameslink—either on its own or in coordination with third parties (such as government agencies, competent authorities, courts, or domain name administrative bodies)—determines that a domain name violates laws or regulations, infringes upon the legitimate rights of third parties, or if the Buyer breaches these Terms, Nameslink, the registrar, the registry, or related parties shall have the right to take necessary actions, including but not limited to: termination of services, freezing of the Buyer's account and/or account balance, locking the domain name, prohibiting modifications to or transfers of domain names, and declaring the transaction null and void.

7. Seller's Rights and Obligations

7.1 Seller agrees and confirms that by accepting these Terms and submitting and listing domain names for sale on the Platform, the Seller is deemed to have authorized Nameslink to handle matters related to the sale of the domain names.

7.2 The Seller understands and accepts that once a transaction request automatically initiated by the system according to rules is made, it cannot be revoked. The Seller further guarantees that once the Buyer has paid the domain purchase fee or the system has completed the transaction in accordance with the rules set by the Seller, the Seller shall not request to cancel the transaction or make similar claims on the grounds of operational errors, regret, unreasonable pricing, market changes, etc., nor shall the Seller delist the domain, adjust the price, modify domain information, transfer the domain between accounts, or transfer the domain to another registrar.

7.3 The Seller must have the legal right to transfer the domain name listed for sale, meaning that the Seller is the registrant of the domain name, or has obtained legal authorization from the registrant prior to listing. The Seller shall also ensure that the domain is not prohibited from being listed and is usable and transferable. If the transaction fails or cannot be completed due to reasons such as DNS pollution or restrictions on the transfer of certain special domains, and the Seller failed to fulfill a reasonable duty of inspection, the Seller shall bear all resulting consequences.

7.4 The Seller represents and warrants that the listed domain name is free from ownership disputes or other legal issues, and does not violate any laws or infringe upon the legitimate rights of any third party.

7.5 The Seller understands and agrees that listing a domain for sale will be deemed as authorization for the Buyer of that domain, Nameslink, and the registrar to modify domain information on the Seller's behalf after the transaction is completed.

7.6 If the Seller has already transferred the domain name to a third party through an offline transaction or otherwise no longer holds the legal right to transfer the domain name, the Seller shall promptly remove the domain listing.

7.7 If, due to technical issues, policy restrictions, or lack of authority to transact, the domain name cannot be transferred to a Nameslink-managed account, the Seller shall cooperate with Nameslink as required to complete the account transfer or refund the payment received to the Buyer. If the Seller fails to cooperate, Nameslink shall have the right to freeze the Seller's account and balance, lock the domain, or take other necessary measures until the matter is resolved through legal means.

7.8 The Seller warrants that all domain sale information provided is true, accurate, valid, and complete, and does not contain any misleading or false statements. If any information changes, the Seller shall promptly update it. The Seller shall provide correct contact information to Nameslink (including email address, mailing address, and other contact details), and shall bear any consequences resulting from incorrect contact information in accordance with applicable laws.

7.9 The Seller shall not use Nameslink Services to publish any harmful information prohibited by laws or regulations, nor use any third party's information without permission. The Seller shall not use Nameslink Services or Platform trading rules to engage in any illegal activities, such as credit card fraud or money laundering.

7.10 The Seller understands and agrees that if the Seller engages in fraud, infringes upon any third party's lawful rights, violates these Terms or applicable laws during the domain transaction, or if a third-party institution (e.g., government authorities, regulators, courts, domain name administrative bodies, etc.) determines that certain domains are involved in illegal or non-compliant use, Nameslink shall have the right to terminate the service, delist the domain, lock the domain, prohibit domain information changes or transfers, or declare the transaction invalid, as necessary.

8. Nameslink's Rights and Obligations

8.1 Nameslink provides Buyers with systems, channels, technical services, and related support for domain name purchases, and facilitates domain procurement and delivery activities that align with Buyers' requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Nameslink does not guarantee the successful acquisition of any domain name, makes no representation or warranties regarding the outcome of domain transactions, and shall not be liable for any failure to secure a domain name. If a domain transaction fails after the Buyer has paid the purchase price due to reasons not attributable to the Buyer, Nameslink will refund the domain purchase fee already paid by the Buyer.

8.2 Nameslink does not conduct any review of the status or potential defects of a domain name (including but not limited to the completeness of ownership, existence of disputes, or any usage restrictions on the domain), and assumes no liability in this respect.

8.3 Nameslink shall not be liable for any consequences caused by system failures, network delays, outdated Buyer page data, system response times, or similar issues, including but not limited to failure to complete a transaction, unsuccessful transactions, delays in the execution of rules such as Buyer suspension or termination, and any resulting consequences.

8.4 Nameslink reserves the right, during the transaction process, to prudently evaluate the Buyer's eligibility to participate in domain name purchases. In the event Nameslink determines that the Buyer is engaging in conduct that disrupts the orderly execution of transaction or involves malicious price manipulation, Nameslink will coordinate and communicate with the Buyer to address such issues. Should the issues remain unresolved, Nameslink reserves the right to implement measures including, but not limited to, restricting payment capabilities, limiting transaction activities, freezing the Buyer's account, or freezing domain names.

8.5 Nameslink bears no responsibility for the consequences of Buyers purchasing domain names. Buyers shall not cause Nameslink to become involved in any disputes or adverse situations as a result of the domain purchase. If the purchase of a domain causes losses to Nameslink, the Buyer shall be held liable accordingly.

IV. Domain Name Renewal Service

1. User may process renewal for domain names held by User through the Platform prior to the domain name expiration date. Acceptance and effectiveness of a renewal application shall depend on: (a) User's compliance with all renewal procedures and requirements under these Terms; (b) User's full payment of renewal fees; and (c) Nameslink's acceptance of the renewal application.

2. Nameslink supports User's activation of the automatic renewal function for domain names. Prior to domain name expiration, Nameslink will attempt to automatically deduct renewal fees from the payment method linked to User's account to complete the renewal. User shall have the right to disable or re-enable the automatic renewal function at any time.

3. Nameslink shall only attempt to automatically deduct renewal fees through User's linked payment method in a reasonably prudent manner, and makes no express or implied warranty as to the success of automatic renewal. Nameslink shall bear no liability in the event of automatic renewal failure under the following circumstances:

(a) User's linked payment method has expired, has insufficient credit limit, contains incorrect information, has been frozen, or has been blocked by the payment institution's risk control measures;

(b) User's payment account is unable to complete the deduction for any reason;

(c) Automatic renewal fails but Nameslink has previously sent reminder notifications via email or in-platform messaging.

4. User acknowledges and agrees that domain name renewal fees may differ from initial registration fees; please refer to the prices displayed on the applicable service page. Nameslink reserves the right to adjust renewal prices at any time; adjusted prices shall apply upon domain name renewal without separate advance notice to User.

5. User shall:

(a) Independently maintain records of domain name expiration dates and shall not rely solely on Nameslink's reminder notifications as the exclusive basis for renewal;

(b) Ensure that the linked payment method is in valid status with sufficient balance or credit limit prior to domain name expiration;

(c) If User elects to disable automatic renewal, User must manually complete the renewal prior to domain name expiration; otherwise, the domain name will be cancelled after expiration.

V. Expired Domain Name Service

1. Upon expiration of the domain name registration term, if you have not completed renewal prior to the expiration date, the domain name shall automatically enter the renewal grace period (the "Renewal Grace Period"), being the period during which the domain name registration may be renewed after the expiration date as determined by Nameslink or the applicable Registry. You may apply for renewal during the Renewal Grace Period; however, you understand and confirm that during the Renewal Grace Period you shall no longer enjoy the rights and related services available during the active service term. You shall have no right to transfer the domain name to another registrant or to transfer the domain name to another registrar during the Renewal Grace Period.

2. The Renewal Grace Period shall commence on the domain name expiration date or such other period as Nameslink may determine, as indicated on the applicable Nameslink page. Nameslink reserves the right to determine the length of the Renewal Grace Period at its sole discretion, unless otherwise provided by the domain name administrative authority, ICANN, or the applicable Registry.

3. Domain names that remain unrenewed upon expiration of the Renewal Grace Period (as indicated on the applicable Nameslink service page) shall enter the redemption period (the "Redemption Period"). During the Redemption Period, User may apply to redeem the domain name and pay the applicable redemption fee. If the domain name has already entered an auction process, User must follow the applicable auction rules to participate in the auction and shall not be permitted to renew or redeem. Upon the winning bidder's acquisition of registrant status, all rights of you, the original registrant, with respect to such domain name shall terminate at the time the auction is concluded, and you shall have no further right to claim redemption, renewal, or any other rights. Only in the event that no bids are placed shall you have the right to redeem the domain name during the Redemption Period. For the avoidance of doubt, the auction process shall commence no earlier than the beginning of the Redemption Period, and the foregoing mechanism constitutes the registrant's opportunity to recover the domain name in compliance with ICANN's Expired Registration Recovery Policy (ERRP).

4. Domain names that have not been successfully auctioned and have not been renewed upon expiration of the Renewal Grace Period shall enter the Deletion Period. During the Deletion Period, the applicable Registry may initiate the deletion process for such domain name. Domain names that have been sold through auction during the Renewal Grace Period, or domain names for which the applicable Registry explicitly restricts restoration, shall not be subject to the Deletion Period.

5. User understands and acknowledges that, pursuant to ICANN Transfer Policy and applicable Registry auto-renewal grace period rules, when an Inter-Registrar Domain Transfer is processed within the Registry-prescribed grace period following domain name expiration, the Registry will reverse the extension of the registration term that was automatically added upon expiration through the auto-renewal process, resulting in a corresponding reduction of the domain name's actual effective term (ordinarily by one (1) year). Such year rollback is executed by the Registry in accordance with its rules and is irrevocable and non-refundable. To the extent permitted by law, Nameslink shall bear no supplementary or compensatory liability for any effective term shortening resulting from such rules, but shall provide appropriate notice to User prior to processing any such transfer.

6. You understand and agree that, after domain name expiration, you authorize us to maintain or update the WHOIS registration information for such domain name at our sole discretion, and we may retain it in your account or transfer it to a dedicated account for centralized management. Subject to compliance with ICANN policies and applicable domain name administrative authority regulations, we may at any time cease the original page resolution and redirect such domain name to any IP address (including paid parking pages or commercial search engines). We shall bear no liability for the legality or appropriateness of any redirected content or any direct or indirect losses arising therefrom.

7. User shall: (a) independently track domain name expiration dates and shall not rely on Nameslink's reminders as the sole basis for renewal; (b) determine whether to redeem the domain name during the Redemption Period and make timely and full payment of the redemption fee; (c) understand and acknowledge that redemption fees may be significantly higher than standard renewal fees, with the specific amount as published on the Platform at the applicable time; (d) if the domain name enters an auction process and User elects to participate, comply with Nameslink's applicable auction rules and procedures.

8. Under the following circumstances, redemption or transfer of an expired domain name may be restricted:

(a) The domain name is subject to pending dispute resolution, arbitration, or litigation proceedings;

(b) The domain name has been placed under special status or lock by the Registry;

(c) User has outstanding amounts payable to Nameslink or is otherwise in breach of these Terms;

(d) Pursuant to the applicable top-level domain Registry's policies, the domain name is not eligible for the Renewal Grace Period or Redemption Period.

VI. Inter-Registrar Domain Transfer Service

1. User may process an Inter-Registrar Domain Transfer through the services provided by Nameslink, provided that User ensures such operations comply with applicable laws and regulations. Nameslink shall review transfer applications in accordance with national laws and regulations, ICANN policies, Registry policies, and its own business rules, and reserves the right to refuse to process any transfer application.

2. If you are transferring a domain name from another registrar to us, you shall confirm and agree to all provisions of these Terms prior to initiating the transfer. Successful submission of a transfer-in application shall be deemed your acceptance of these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please cease submitting the transfer-in application or promptly contact us to terminate the domain name transfer.

3. When User initiates an Inter-Registrar Domain Transfer, User shall:

(a) Prior to applying for the transfer, ensure that the domain name is not subject to any ownership disputes, controversies, locks, suspensions, or other conditions that restrict transfer;

(b) Ensure that the contact information for the domain name registrant and administrative contact is accurate and valid, so as to receive transfer confirmation emails or notifications;

(c) Not modify the domain name registrant information or contact information during the transfer process until the transfer is complete;

(d) If required for the transfer-in, cooperate with Nameslink and the current registrar to complete the transfer verification process (including but not limited to clicking the transfer confirmation link in a confirmation email).

4. Under the following circumstances, a domain name transfer application may be denied or delayed:

(a) Fewer than sixty (60) days have elapsed since the domain name's initial registration or last transfer;

(b) The domain name is in the Renewal Grace Period, Redemption Period, or has been deleted or cancelled;

(c) The domain name is subject to pending dispute resolution, arbitration, or litigation proceedings, or has been prohibited from transfer by court order;

(d) The Registry or the current registrar/target registrar refuses to process the transfer application;

(e) User has outstanding amounts payable to Nameslink or there is suspicion of fraud;

(f) The domain name has been placed under Registrar Lock or Registry Lock status and has not been unlocked;

(g) There is evidence that the transfer application involves domain name theft or other security risks.

5. User understands and agrees that, for domain names with active Domain Transfer Lock, "Privacy Protection Service (WHOIS Privacy, hereinafter referred to as 'Privacy Protection Service')", domain name protection, or other value-added services, Nameslink shall have the right to refuse to process the transfer application for such domain name until User proactively disables the relevant service and completes additional identity verification. Any losses incurred by User due to the inability to timely complete a domain name transfer as a result of such value-added service restrictions shall be borne solely by User.

6. We do not guarantee that a domain name transfer will be successful; the specific transfer outcome shall be subject to the final confirmation by the receiving registrar. If the domain name transfer fails, it shall be deemed an unsuccessful transfer, and we shall refund the domain name transfer fee already collected, but shall bear no further liability other than as expressly provided by law.

VII. Domain Name Information Modification Service

1. User may set up and manage contact template information associated with User's domain names through the Platform. User may create, edit, and save multiple contact templates, and select the applicable template during domain name registration or information updates.

2. When you modify domain name information, the new registrant information submitted must be true, accurate, complete, duly authorized, and free from any misleading or false statements. We reserve the right to require you to provide relevant authorization documentation before, during, or after the modification, and to review whether the modification complies with ICANN policies and these Terms. Upon completion of the modification, we shall automatically send email notifications to both the prior registrant and the new registrant. If the prior registrant, the new registrant, or a third party raises an objection to the modification, we shall have the right to reverse the modification and restore the domain name to its pre-modification state.

3. Under the following circumstances, we shall have the right to refuse or suspend processing of your domain name information modification application: the domain name has expired; there are outstanding fees; the domain name is subject to disputes or controversies; security service restrictions apply; restrictions have been imposed by government authorities or judicial bodies; there is suspicion of fraud or the registrant's identity cannot be verified; you are in breach of these Terms; or we reasonably determine that other circumstances requiring restriction of the modification exist. In addition, information modifications triggered by judicial decisions, UDRP rulings, domain name abuse complaint proceedings, or similar circumstances shall be executed in accordance with applicable ICANN policies and applicable law, and the provisions of this Section shall not apply.

4. We shall bear no liability for consequences arising from the following circumstances: your failure to timely update domain name information resulting in important notices being undeliverable; your provision of untrue or incomplete information resulting in modification failure; processing delays or errors by the Registry or Partner registrar; and your inability to process transfers during any lock period triggered by domain name information modification (if applicable).

5. You further confirm that Nameslink shall bear no liability, except as otherwise expressly provided by law, for any disputes, controversies, losses, infringement, or breach of contract claims arising between you, the prior registrant, the new registrant, and any third party as a result of such domain name information modification.

VIII. Other Domain Name Services

1. In addition to the services expressly set forth above in these Terms, Nameslink may from time to time launch other types of domain name-related value-added services as its business develops, including but not limited to domain parking, DNS resolution services, Privacy Protection Service, Domain Transfer Lock Service, domain brokerage service, domain monitoring service, and other ancillary services related to domain name management. The specific content, service standards, fee schedules, and operational procedures for each value-added service shall be as published by Nameslink on the applicable service page or in a separate service agreement at the relevant time.

2. User understands and acknowledges that the domain name value-added services provided by Nameslink may vary depending on the policies, technical conditions, or commercial arrangements of the applicable Registry. Nameslink reserves the right to adjust the features, scope, or pricing of existing value-added services, or to discontinue any value-added service, at any time based on business development, technology upgrades, or Registry requirements, without obtaining User's separate prior consent.

3. Privacy Protection Service (WHOIS Privacy) and Domain Transfer Lock. At your request, Nameslink may provide the following domain name value-added protection services:

3.1 Privacy Protection Service (WHOIS Privacy): Upon activation of this service, Nameslink shall replace the registrant's personal contact information displayed in the WHOIS database with proxy's information, so that third parties cannot obtain the registrant's real name, address, telephone number, email address, or other personal information through public WHOIS queries, thereby protecting the registrant's privacy. User understands and acknowledges that the Privacy Protection Service only replaces publicly disclosed WHOIS information and does not affect the right of the Registry or law enforcement agencies to obtain the registrant's true information in accordance with law, except as otherwise required by ICANN or the applicable Registry. Upon deactivation, or termination for any reason of the Privacy Protection Service, the WHOIS database shall resume displaying the registrant's true information, and Nameslink shall bear no liability for any consequences arising therefrom.

3.2 Domain Transfer Lock Service: Upon activation of this service, Nameslink shall impose a transfer lock on the domain name at the system level, preventing the domain name from being transferred to another registrar without User's authorization. During the lock period, any transfer request shall require additional verification and confirmation by User before it can be executed. User understands and acknowledges that the Domain Transfer Lock service only adds security verification steps for transfers and does not alter the registration status or ownership attribution of the domain name with the Registry. For the avoidance of doubt, the specific features, activation conditions, pricing, and operational rules of the foregoing value-added services shall be as published on the Platform at the applicable time. User shall carefully read and agree to all applicable terms before activating the relevant services.
