a. Registration: Domain registration fees are non-refundable. If domain names are registered prior to payment, the domain remains the property of Southcot Services Ltd and its suppliers until such time as all the outstanding fees are paid. You, the client, may have full use of your domain name/s within the payment period specified in the invoice but we reserve the right to withdraw the use of any domain name until the fees associated with it have been paid. In the event of payment default we reserve the right remove any existing content and to post banners on that site indicating that the customer has defaulted in payment. UK CTLDs are subject to a two yearly contract period. Other TLDs and CTLDs are subject to a one yearly contract. Unless you specifically request otherwise your name will appear as the registrant, in the case of some registries it is a legal requirement that company domains have to be registered in the name of the company and not an individual and the registration must list the company number. For individuals, for privacy, the address will be shown as C/o the registered address of Southcot Services Ltd unless we are instructed otherwise.
