We have a simple Terms of Service so you can understand your rights.

• Overview expand collapse

  This is an Agreement between You and Tucows.com Co. ("Tucows"), the company that provides domain registration and other services via the website at www.hover.com. We've tried really hard to keep this Agreement as readable and straightforward as possible. If you have suggestions that can help us improve it, please let us know.

  Hover is a service provided by Tucows.

  This Agreement explains our obligations to you, and your obligations to us. Combined with the Third-Party Terms identified below, this Agreement is the entire Agreement between us.

• General Terms expand collapse

  Your use of the services provided by Hover serves as your consent to the terms of this Agreement.

  Tucows will update this Agreement from time to time, usually to reflect new obligations and policies arising from the introduction of new services. It might also be updated to modify or clarify existing obligations and policies.

  You should visit this page from time to time to review any changes. We
  may notify you if this Agreement changes, or we may not. Any notification of any changes would be purely a courtesy and are not required by this Agreement.

• Email Acceptable Use Policy expand collapse

  If you use our email services, you agree to abide by our Email Acceptable Use Policy, which can be found here: https://www.hover.com/aup

• Term of Agreement and Renewals expand collapse

  The Term of this Agreement is twelve (12) months. When you renew your services with us, this Agreement will be renewed for additional 12 month periods, coincident with the term of your services.

  On the day prior to the renewal date of your domain name or email services (or both), we will attempt to renew your services for an additional year. If our renewal is successful, this Agreement will be extended for an additional 12 months.

  If you do not wish to continue service for a domain name or email address beyond its current period, you must explicitly cancel the service. Easy instructions for cancelling a domain name or email service can be found at about.hover.com/cancel

  Renewal fees are non-refundable.

• Billing & Contact Information expand collapse

  Maintaining accurate and current billing information is a mandatory condition of maintaining your Hover account. If you do not maintain current credit card information in your Hover account, we may cancel your services without further notice.

  If your billing information is not current, we will not renew your services, and this Agreement will terminate on the last day of the then current term.

  Your right and title to your domain name also allows you to transfer your domain name to another party or hold the registration in the name of a third-party.

  Regardless of the identity of the registrant or any other contact information in your domain name records, any domain name registered through Tucows using your Hover account is covered by the terms of this Agreement. You are responsible for ensuring that the terms of this Agreement are met, even if you have registered a domain name in the name of a third-party.

  Tucows needs to be able to contact you easily and quickly. You are responsible for ensuring that Tucows has accurate and current contact and billing information for you, including your full and real name, postal address, e-mail address, and voice and facsimile telephone numbers. You also must provide similar accurate and current contact information for all contacts in each field of your domain name registration record.

• Timely Payment expand collapse

  Your right and title to your domain name is for a finite period of time, measured by the term of your registration. If you do not pay your fees within thirty (30) days of the due date, we will close your account and terminate this Agreement.

  If your account is closed for non-payment, right and title to any domain name previously in your account will transfer to Tucows and a cancellation surcharge of $175 per domain name cancelled plus applicable renewal fees may be levied on your account.

• Recovering a domain name after expiry expand collapse

  It may be possible to recover a domain name after it has expired. Renewal of a domain name after its expiry is subject to a Redemption Recovery fee of $175 plus any applicable renewal fees and taxes. It may not always be possible to renew a domain name after its expiry and Tucows has the sole and final word in determining when a domain name can be renewed post-expiry and what fees will be applicable.

  If you forfeit a domain name for non-payment, Tucows will have the right, in its sole discretion, to (a) register and use the domain name for its own purposes; (b) sell or transfer the domain name to a third-party; or (c) delete the domain name and allow any new registrant anywhere in the world to register the domain name anew. Further, you agree that Tucows may charge the credit card you have on file with Hover to recover any amounts outstanding on your account.

• Cancelling & Termination expand collapse

  You may end this Agreement at any time and for any reason by cancelling your Hover services (instructions can be found here: about.hover.com/cancelling). You may cancel your account by cancelling all of your services, which will cause this Agreement to terminate and Tucows will delete your account.

  Tucows can also end this Agreement at any time and for any reason.

  If you terminate this Agreement, you will not receive a refund for any fees already paid. If Tucows terminates this Agreement, Tucows will provide you with written notice, either via postal service, or email.

  Tucows may, in its sole discretion, refund any unused portion of your subscription fee, and if applicable, assist you in transferring your domain name to another registrar.

• Third Party Terms expand collapse

  Tucows is permitted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (“ICANN") and many domain name registries to register domain names on your behalf only on the condition that Tucows requires you to agree to certain additional terms, conditions and fees.

  These additional terms, conditions, and fees are listed in the "Tucows Registrant Agreement - Exhibit A” (“Third-Party Terms”) and are not nearly as easy to read as this Agreement. We are sorry for that.

  The Third-Party terms are part of this Agreement, and you are bound by them just as if they were included here. In the event that this Agreement is inconsistent with any provision of the Third-Party Terms, the Third-Party Terms shall prevail.

  Tucows is permitted by the Canadian Internet Registration Authority ("CIRA") to register domain names on your behalf on the condition that Tucows requires you to agree to certain additional terms and conditions. These additional terms and conditions are listed in the CIRA Registrant Agreement (PDF) ("CIRA Terms"), and you are bound by them just as if they were included here. In the event that this Agreement is inconsistent with any provision of the CIRA Terms, the CIRA Terms shall prevail.

• Complaints & Legal Challenges expand collapse

  Sometimes domain name registrations become the subject of a legal challenge. If Tucows is made a party to any legal action by virtue of one of your domain name registrations, you agree to be responsible for all of Tucows’ costs and legal fees and to indemnify and hold Tucows harmless from any action.

  If Tucows is notified that a complaint has been filed with a judicial or administrative body regarding your domain name, Tucows may, at its sole discretion, (a) suspend your ability to use, make modifications to, or transfer your registration records and/or (b) deposit control of your registration record with the appropriate judicial entity by supplying a registrar certificate from us.

• Right to Limit Quantities Purchased expand collapse

  We reserve the right to limit quantities purchased to normal retail purchases. From time to time we may limit the number of domain names, email addresses and other services you may purchase from us at the published price. You agree that we may do so in our sole discretion and that our decision concerning any limitations is solely ours.

• Jurisdiction expand collapse

  This Agreement is governed by and will be enforced in accord with the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada and the federal laws of Canada.

  Any action brought against Tucows arising out of or relating to this Agreement must be brought in the courts of Toronto, Ontario, and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.

• Limitation of Liability expand collapse

  You agree that our entire liability, and your exclusive remedy, with respect to any services provided under this Agreement and any breach of this Agreement is solely limited to the amounts you have paid us.

  Tucows and its directors, employees, affiliates, subsidiaries, agents and third party providers, ICANN and the applicable registries shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages resulting from the use or inability to use any of the services or for the cost of procurement of substitute services. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states, our liability is limited to the extent permitted by law.

  We disclaim any and all loss or liability resulting from, but not limited to: (1) loss or liability resulting from access delays or access interruptions; (2) loss or liability resulting from data non-delivery or data mis-delivery; (3) loss or liability resulting from acts of God; (4) loss or liability resulting from the unauthorized use or misuse of your account identifier or password; (5) loss or liability resulting from errors, omissions, or misstatements in any and all information or services(s) provided under this Agreement; (6) loss or liability resulting from the interruption of your service.

  You agree that we will not be liable for any loss of registration and use of your domain name, or for interruption of business, or any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind (including lost profits) regardless of the form of action whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
