Common use of SWITCHguard domain names Clause in Contracts

SWITCHguard domain names. In the case of a SWITCHguard domain name, carrying out administrative actions in connection with a domain name always requires the domain name holder’s consent, subject to the exceptions provided for in this contract and in the GTC. In addition, however, in each case the consent of the trusted third parties is necessary in accordance with the following provisions. In the case of registration by the applicant, the SWITCHguard domain name requires the assignment of at least one and at most five trusted third parties. A user account must be opened beforehand for each trusted third party. The holder, trusted third party, contact person and third parties may make requests regarding the administration of the domain name but cannot effect changes themselves. A request must always be confirmed by the holder and by the majority or one half of the trusted third parties in their respective user account within 10 days of receipt of the information concerning the request. The request lapses in the absence of the above- mentioned confirmations within the specified deadline. The holder may make any changes without the agreement of the majority of trusted third parties by signing a non-liability declaration with a publicly notarised signature of the authorised signatory according to the commercial register and by presenting a copy of a current extract from the commercial register. Optionally, the holder may provide an IP address range for each trusted third party. If a trusted third party wishes to confirm a request, SWITCH then verifies the sender’s IP address. If this does not coincide with the address range specified by the holder, the confirmation function is denied. Otherwise, paragraphs 2 and 3 of section 5.1 apply in connection with SWITCHguard domain names.
