Restrictions

for the exchange of goods, services or property of any kind and
-
in ordinary course of trade or business
-
or to simplify the above activities.
The same applies if the .biz domain is used to make possible access to content,
software, graphics or other materials using the Internet addressing system (DNS-
Domain Name System).
Registration of a .biz domain merely for the purpose of selling, trading or
leasing it for compensation is not a permissible use.
You can see details of the restrictions at
http://www.neulevel.biz/ardp/index.html.
b.
The customer warrants that the .biz domain will be used in compliance with
the above regulations and that he or she is entitled to register it. The
customer also warrants that the .biz domain is demonstrably in connection with a
(proposed) commercial use at the time of registration.
-
Data transmission

the General Terms and Conditions of Business and Registration. The customer also
has the opportunity to forward a remark relating to the .biz domain for
publication in the WHOIS database.

The customer warrants that the data provided is accurate. If the data
provided is incorrect or no correction is received within five days of enquiry
by the Neulevel registry to the contact persons published in the WHOIS database,
this constitutes a violation of the agreement.

-

a dispute between a third party and the customer if this relates to the so-

registry to notify trademark holders if a domain was registered which the
trademark holders claim rights to. These rights can be asserted before an
independent ICANN-accredited dispute resolution provider.
-
Restrictions Dispute Resolution Criteria and Rules, accessible at

resolution provider that a registration is not being used for commercial
purposes. The Neulevel registry does not check the permissibility of the use.
b.
The Neulevel registry reserves the right to change the procedures described
above with notification of 30 days. If the customer does not agree to such a
change he or she is entitled to terminate the registration agreement. Payments
made will not be refunded. If the customer continues with the reservation or
registration, this is done on the amended conditions.
c.
The customer indemnifies the Neulevel registry from all disadvantages within
the framework of domain disputes.
d.
Once claims have been filed against the customer with respect to the .biz

without prior written agreement of the Neulevel registry. The Neulevel registry
will only make changes if
-
a request to this effect is made by an entity authorised to make a decision or
-
notification is received from the third party and the customer that the
dispute has been resolved.
-
