Why is my credit card being denied or rejected during the registration process?
For information about why your credit card was declined or rejected, please contact your bank or credit card vendor. In the meantime, we recommend trying to register the domain name using a different card. If you continue to experience problems, please contact

Can I cancel a registration?
.tv does have a "no refunds" policy on domain name registrations. Once you have registered your domain name, you are legally bound to the two (2) year Registration Agreement.
Do I have to pay the full two (2) year's registration fee?
Your registration is for a minimum of two (2) years but it can be paid yearly. Or, you may pre-pay for multiple years at the time of registration. At the end of your selected term, the registration fee is increased at a rate of 5% if you want to renew.
What happens after the second year?
You have the right to renew the domain name forever, in periods of 1 to 20 years at a time, and the price increases at a rate of 5% at the end of each term for which you have pre-paid.
What can I do if I misspell my domain name during the registration process?
Although .tv has a "no refunds" policy on domain name registrations, we understand that misspellings and typing errors do occur. To report and correct a misspelled domain registration bid WITHIN 24 HOURS, please complete the following:
Register the correct spelling of the domain name at www.tv.
Send an email immediately (within 24 hours) to
support@www.tv stating that a misspelling has occurred. You must include the misspelled domain name that was registered or bid on, as well as the corrected domain name spelling (see Step 1).
Once we receive this e-mail notification, .tv will delete the original domain name registration. You will be credited for any charges you may have incurred for the misspelled domain name.
NOTE: .tv reserves the right to accept or reject any domain name misspelling requests. The misspelling may not have more than a 2-character difference from the intended domain name.
For more information, please visit .tv's Registration Agreement.
How does your new Shopping Cart feature work?
Our Shopping Cart now allows you to purchase multiple domain names at once.
It also gives you the option of pre-paying for your registration terms in
blocks of two, three, five, or ten years.
Why is the Check Out process different for domain names that contain generic words or phrases?
Domain names containing generic words or phrases over $10,000/year are registered
individually. Doing so allows you to select multiple payment options, such
as wire transfers or checks, in addition to credit cards. If you have other
items in your cart as well, you will still be able to purchase those domain
names after you have completed the registration process.
Does .tv have a "whois" database?
Yes. If a domain name has been registered, "whois" information is accessible
as part of the search result for checking domain name availability. Although
no purchase is necessary, you must have a .tv account to obtain "whois"
information. This is to ensure that this data is used only for lawful
purposes and that, under no circumstances, should be used to allow, enable, or
otherwise support the transmission of mass unsolicited, commercial
advertising or solicitations via e-mail (spam).
How can I find out who owns a domain name?
If you believe a registrant is infringing your intellectual property rights,
please refer to our Dispute Policy. You may submit your
request to the "whois" database to obtain domain name registrant contact information to
info@www.tv .
How do I pay for my domain name? Payment is made at the time of registration.
For Premium Name Registrations, up to a minimum of US $10 000 will be charged on your credit card. If the Annual Registration Fee is greater than US $10 000, you may return to the site to complete payment.
If you do not want to pay by credit card, please contact Customer Care.
How long do I have to pay a balance due on my account?
You have up to ten (10) business days from the Registration Date to submit payment in full if you did not already make full payment. If the annual registration fee is not paid in full within the ten days, the rights to the domain name and deposit are forfeited.
After I pay my first year's registration fee, do I have to pay anything else?
Yes. Your Registration Agreement is good for at least two (2) years and may be renewed continually thereafter. You can pre-pay for multiple years at the time of registration if you choose. At the end of the term you selected, your annual registration fee increases 5% if you want to renew.
Will I receive a receipt or an invoice?
Yes. At the completion of the registration process, an e-mail confirmation will be sent you. This document serves as your receipt (if paid in full) or invoice (if there is a balance due).
