You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless RO, CentralNic and their subcontractors, and the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of each of them, from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, arising out of or relating to your domain name registration. This indemnification obligation shall survive the termination or expiration of your registration agreement with us.

You agree to comply with the following requirements:

  • .fo policies, procedures, and practices; and
  • operational standards, policies, procedures, and practices for the Registry TLD established from time to time by RO in a non-arbitrary manner and applicable to all registrars, including affiliates of RO.

You acknowledge and agree to

  • the collection, use, copying, distribution, publication, modification and other processing of your Personal Data by RO and its designees and agents to comply with the Registry’s obligations under applicable laws and in accordance with the Registry’s published privacy and/or data protection policy at (https://nic.fo/);
  • the collection and use of Personal Data and its disclosure by us or the Registry to any relevant government or law enforcement agencies; and
  • use by the Registry of demographic data collected for statistical and research purposes, provided that such analysis will not result in the disclosure of Personal Data and provided that such use is compatible with the Registry Privacy Policy regarding the purpose and procedures for such use.

You must provide accurate and reliable contact details and correct and update them and all other registration information for the Registered Name during the registration term.

You acknowledge and agree that RO reserves the right to deny, cancel or transfer any registration or transaction, or place any domain name(s) on registry lock, hold or similar status, that it deems necessary, in its discretion; (1) to protect the integrity and stability of the registry; (2) to comply with any applicable laws, government rules or requirements, requests of law enforcement, or any dispute resolution process; (3) to avoid any liability, civil or criminal, on the part of RO, as well as its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, and employees and those of CentralNic; (4) per the terms of the Registration Agreement or (5) to correct mistakes made by RO or any Registrar in connection with a domain name registration. RO also reserves the right to place upon registry lock, hold or similar status a domain name during resolution of a dispute. RO will provide Registrar notice via EPP command, email or phone call of any cancelation, transfers, changes or registry lock made to any registration by RO (in respect of a domain sponsored by the Registrar).

You agree that non-standard domains have non-uniform renewal registration pricing such that the Registration Fee for a domain name registration renewal may differ from other domain names in the same TLD.
