To complete the registration process you must read, and agree to be bound by, all of these Terms & Conditions.
As consideration for the domain name registration services provided by Dark Group Ltd, you shall pay all applicable initial registration fees and renewal fees. You will be notified when renewal fees are due and it shall be your responsibility to ensure that such fees are paid.

You agree that Dark Group Ltd shall have no liability whatsoever with respect to any such cancellation, and that the domain name may be cancelled or reassigned in the event of delinquency.
In the event that a hosting account is suspended for non-payment, it is at the company's discretion to accept the late renewal. In the event that a suspended account is required to be re-activated (to download web content, for instance) the company may charge a £150 + vat administration charge.
In applying for a domain name, you warrant that the registration is not made in bad faith and that the name does not conflict with another domain name.
If your domain name is challenged by a third party, you agree that in the event of a domain name dispute arising with any third party you will indemnify, defend and hold Dark Group Ltd harmless.

To the extent applicable state does not allow the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, our liability is limited to the minimum extent permitted by law.
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Dark Group Ltd and any applicable domain name registry, and the directors, officers, employees and agents of each of them, for any loss, damages or costs, including reasonable legal fees, resulting from any third party claim, action or demand related to your domain name or the use thereof.
