Terms of Service.

This Terms of Service Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into between Dotberry Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong (the "Dotberry", "Company", "we"), and the person accepting these terms (the "User", "you").

By using dotberry.com, creating an account, or using our services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and unconditionally accept all terms of this Agreement, including the Privacy Policy (Part II), the Acceptable Use Policy (Part III), and the TLD Rules.

If you disagree with any term of this Agreement, you must immediately cease using dotberry.com and Dotberry services.

Dotberry may unilaterally amend the terms of this Agreement. The current version is always available at dotberry.com/terms. Continued use of the services following publication of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Agreement.

This Agreement is made in Russian and English. In the event of any conflict between the language versions, the English version shall prevail for users who have selected English as their interface language.

To use Dotberry services, you must create an account by providing a valid email address. Dotberry does not require a name, surname, postal address, or phone number for standard registration.

You are solely responsible for the security of your account credentials and for all actions taken through your account. Dotberry is not liable for any losses arising from unauthorised access to your account due to circumstances beyond Dotberry's control.

Dotberry may, at its sole discretion, block, suspend, or delete an account that has been inactive for an extended period, provided that you have been notified by email at least 30 days in advance.

Dotberry provides the following core services:

Services are provided "as is" and "as available". Dotberry does not guarantee continuous or uninterrupted operation of the services where this is caused by circumstances beyond Dotberry's control, including registry actions, regulatory actions, or infrastructure failures.

Dotberry acts as an accredited registrar or partner of an accredited registrar in accordance with ICANN requirements. Domain name rights vest in the User upon confirmation of registration by the registry of the relevant domain zone.

When registering a domain name, you must provide accurate information required for entry into the registry of the relevant domain zone. The required data is determined by the rules of the specific registry and may include:

If the registry rules do not require the provision of personal data (name, address, phone number), Dotberry does not collect or store such data. For domain zones where the provision of such information is required by the registry, you may use the private registration service.

Wilful provision of knowingly false or misleading information constitutes a material breach of this Agreement and may result in the suspension or cancellation of the domain registration in accordance with ICANN and registry policies.

If information required to maintain a registration changes, you must update it in your dotberry.com account within seven (7) calendar days of the change.

Current pricing for registration, renewal, transfer, and other services is published at dotberry.com/pricing. Dotberry may change its pricing; new prices apply to transactions initiated after the publication of the changes.

Dotberry accepts the following payment methods:

All payments are final and, unless expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, are non-refundable. In particular:

Dotberry may suspend or terminate services in the event of any outstanding payment obligations.

Cryptocurrency payments are processed at the exchange rate at the time the transaction is initiated. Exchange rate fluctuations following payment confirmation are not grounds for recalculation or refund.

Dotberry does not guarantee automatic renewal of a domain name. You are solely responsible for timely renewal of registration and for monitoring expiry dates.

Dotberry sends expiry notifications to the email address associated with your account at 60, 30, and 7 days before the expiry date. Dotberry is not liable for the loss of a domain if a notification was not received or read for reasons beyond Dotberry's control.

If auto-renewal is enabled, Dotberry charges the balance. If the charge cannot be processed, auto-renewal does not occur. Dotberry will notify you of a failed charge.

All renewal transactions are final, non-refundable, and ineligible for account credit.

A domain name not renewed before its registration expiry date enters a post-expiry period (the "Grace Period"). The Grace Period lasts 30 (thirty) calendar days, unless a shorter period is established by the rules of the relevant registry.

During the Grace Period:

If the Grace Period expires and the domain has not been renewed, the domain name enters a deletion period (the "Deletion Period") lasting 30 (thirty) calendar days. During the Deletion Period, the registry may flag the domain for deletion.

Restoration of a domain in the last 10 (ten) days of the Grace Period is subject to an additional restoration fee in accordance with the current pricing schedule.

Upon expiry of the Deletion Period, a domain name that has not been sold at auction or restored becomes available for re-registration by third parties.

The terms of this section apply subject to the rules of the specific registry, which may establish different periods or procedures.

You may request that Dotberry transfer a domain name from another registrar to Dotberry, or from Dotberry to another registrar, subject to the conditions of this section and registry rules.

A domain name transfer is not possible in the following circumstances:

A domain name transfer requires explicit authorisation from the registrant or an authorised agent. You authorise Dotberry to act as your agent to approve requests for change of registrant and to opt out of the 60-day transfer lock.

Dotberry is not responsible for the expiry date of a domain name following a transfer, as this is determined by the policies of the registry and the previous registrar.

Dotberry may, at its sole discretion, suspend, restrict, or terminate the provision of services, and delete, block, or cancel an account or individual service, if:

Dotberry will notify you by email before suspending services, except where immediate suspension is necessary to protect the interests of third parties or Dotberry.

Dotberry will not compensate for any unused subscription period in the event of service termination on the grounds set out in clause 9.1.

If you resell a domain name to a third party through Dotberry services or on third-party platforms, you must:

If you grant a third party the right to use a domain name (licence), you remain fully responsible to Dotberry for compliance with the terms of this Agreement in respect of that domain, as well as for any harm caused by the licensee's wrongful use of the domain.

You warrant that the registration of a domain name and its use do not infringe any intellectual property rights, trade marks, or other lawful rights of third parties.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Dotberry is not liable for:

Dotberry's aggregate liability to you for any single incident shall not exceed the amount actually paid by you to Dotberry for the service giving rise to the liability during the 12 (twelve) months preceding the event.

This Agreement does not exclude or limit any liability that cannot be limited under the mandatory provisions of applicable law.

This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (PRC), without regard to conflict of laws principles.

All disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the use of Dotberry services shall first be referred to negotiation. If no resolution is reached within 30 (thirty) days of a written claim being submitted, the dispute shall be referred to the competent courts of Hong Kong.

For disputes relating to domain names under ICANN policies, including UDRP proceedings, you submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of your domicile, as well as to the jurisdiction of the courts of Hong Kong.

The limitation period for claims relating to the use of Dotberry services is one (1) year from the date on which the right of action arose, unless a longer period is required by the mandatory provisions of applicable law.
