Domain Name Registration/Registrant Information Policy
In addition to the provisions of the Registration Agreement, prospective registrants wishing to register a .cc domain name ("Domain Name") with eNIC Corporation ("Registry") must: (i) qualify for registration; (ii) submit certain information to Registry; and (iii) meet certain conditions as detailed below.
Qualifications for Registration:
A Domain Name Registrant ("Registrant") must be either (a) an identifiable human individual (over the age of 18 years); or (b) a legally recognized statutory entity (such as a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or PLC).
Registrant Information:
Applications for Domain Name must be accompanied by the following information ("Registrant Information"):
1. Legally recognized first and last name (surname) of the contact person for the Registrant (this contact person maybe the Registrant itself). If Registrant is an organization, association, corporation, or other legally recognized entity, the contact person must be a person authorized to legally bind the entity.
2. Valid postal address of the Registrant.
3. Functioning e-mail address of the Registrant.
4. Working telephone number for the Registrant, including country code, area code, and proper extension, if applicable. Providing true, current, complete, and accurate contact information is an absolute condition of registration of a Domain Name with Registry. If the Registrant Information provided to Registry, or a subsequent modification to that Registrant Information, contains false, inaccurate or misleading information, or conceals or omits pertinent information, this shall be deemed a breach of the Registration Agreement and Registry may, at its discretion, terminate, suspend or place on hold Registrant's registered Domain Name(s) without notification and without refund to the Registrant.
Registrant is responsible for keeping the Registrant Information up to date and responding in a timely fashion to communications from Registry.
Conditions for Registration:
Before a prospective Registrant can secure the registration of a particular Domain Name, the following conditions must also be met:
(a) Registrant must provide current, complete and accurate Registrant Information to Registry.

Domain Name Transfer Policy
Transfer of Sponsoring Organization:
Domain Name transfers from one sponsoring organization (i.e. the losing reseller or registrar) to another such sponsoring organization (i.e. the gaining reseller or registrar) shall be effectuated only by submission to Registry of properly completed .cc Domain transfer documentation and payment of fees required thereby. Registrants wishing to execute a Domain Name transfer are referred to the gaining reseller or registrar for all such documentation. Before a Domain Name transfer request can be processed, all fees owed by the current Registrant must be paid in full. All fees are non-refundable.
Miscellaneous Provisions
Restricted Domain Names:
Certain Domain Names, including those consisting of only one, two or three characters, are not available for registration. The Prospective Registrant of such a Domain Name will be advised if the particular Domain Name sought to be registered is unavailable for registration.
Registry's Right of Revocation:
Registry reserves the right, at its own discretion, to revoke the registration of a Domain Name of any Registrant who has violated Registry Policies, including the Acceptable Use Policy and Dispute Policy, the Registry's Registration Agreement or any other agreement or policy binding upon the Registrant with respect to the Domain Name registration.
Registrant's Designated Name Servers:
Domain Name Registrants are responsible for ensuring that at least two name servers remain configured and operable. Domains found to have less than two operable name servers may be de-activated by Registry.
Consumer Protection and Fair-Trading Practices:
Registry encourages proper and responsible use of Domain Names by its Registrants. However, Registrants are solely responsible for proper use of particular Domain Names. Any Registrant concerned with the proper use of a particular Domain Name should review the Acceptable Use Policy. Any party or consumer having a complaint or involved in a dispute involving a particular registrant or Domain Name should consult the Registry's Dispute Policy.
Spam Policy:
Registry encourages proper and responsible use of Domain Names by its Registrants. Registry expressly prohibits users of the Registry Network from engaging in the following activities:
(a) Sending unsolicited mail messages, including the sending of "junk mail" or other advertising material to individuals who did not specifically request such material ("Spam"). No Person may use the Registry Network, and specifically the Registry mail servers, for sending Spam or any other type of unsolicited bulk mail messages. This includes, but is not limited to, bulk-mailing of commercial advertising, informational announcements, and political tracts. Such material may only be sent to those who have expressly requested it. If a recipient asks to stop receiving such e-mail, then any further sending would constitute Spam and violate this AUP.
(b) Harassment, whether through language, frequency, or size of messages.
(c) Creating or forwarding "make-money fast" type messages, "chain letters" or "pyramid schemes" of any type, whether or not the recipient wishes to receive such messages.
