NBWS Terms Of Use & IP / Copyright Notices
These terms and notices apply to NBWS customers.
DEFINITIONS
Domain name: A domain name is a website’s address on the Internet. Domain names identify which server a specific webpage belongs to. The domain name consists of a hierarchical sequence of names (labels) separated by periods (dots) and ending with an extension, for example, .com, .net, or .org,.
Domain name registrar: A domain name registrar provides domain name registrations to the general public. Domain names are owned by registries and leased by users (domain name registrants).
Domain name registrant: A domain name registrant is an individual or entity who registers a domain name. Upon registration of a domain name, a registrant enters into a contract with a registrar. The contract describes the terms under which the registrar agrees to register and maintain the requested name. After registration, registrants manage their domain name settings through their registrar.
