We may also cancel, transfer or otherwise make changes to a domain name registration in accordance with the terms of Your Registration Agreement or other legal requirements.
4. Mandatory Administrative Proceeding
1. This Paragraph sets forth the type of disputes for which You are required to submit to a mandatory administrative proceeding. These proceedings will be conducted before one of the administrative-dispute-resolution service providers listed at http://www.icann.org/udrp/approved-providers.htm(each, a "Provider").
1. Applicable Disputes. You are required to submit to a mandatory administrative proceeding in the event that a third party (a "complainant") asserts to the applicable Provider, in compliance with the Rules of Procedure, that (i) Your domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or Service mark in which the complainant has rights; and (ii) You have no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and (iii) Your domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith. In the administrative proceeding, the complainant must prove that each of these three elements are present.
2. Evidence of Registration and Use in Bad Faith. For the purposes of Paragraph 4(a)(iii), the following circumstances, in particular but without limitation, if found by the Panel to be present, shall be evidence of the registration and use of a domain name in bad faith: (i) circumstances indicating that You have registered or You have acquired the domain name primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the domain name registration to the complainant who is the owner of the trademark or service mark or to a competitor of that complainant, for valuable consideration in excess of Your documented out-of-pocket costs directly related to the domain name; or (ii) You have registered the domain name in order to prevent the owner of the trademark or service mark from reflecting the mark in a corresponding domain name, provided that You have engaged in a pattern of such conduct; or (iii) You have registered the domain name primarily for the purpose of disrupting the business of a competitor; or (iv) by using the domain name, You have intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to Your web site or other online location, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the complainant's mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of Your web site or location or of a product or service on Your web site or location.
3. How to Demonstrate Your Rights to and Legitimate Interests in the Domain Name in Responding to a Complaint. When You receive a complaint, You should refer to Paragraph 5 of the Rules of Procedure in determining how Your response should be prepared. Any of the following circumstances, in particular but without limitation, if found by the Panel to be proved based on its evaluation of all evidence presented, shall demonstrate Your rights or legitimate interests to the domain name for purposes of Paragraph 4(a)(ii): (i) before any notice to You of the dispute, Your use of, or demonstrable preparations to use, the domain name or a name corresponding to the domain name in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services; or (ii) You (as an individual, business, or other organization) have been commonly known by the domain name, even if You have acquired no trademark or service mark rights; or (iii) You are making a legitimate non-commercial or fair use of the domain name, without intent for commercial gain to misleadingly divert consumers or to tarnish the trademark or service mark at issue.
4. Selection of Provider. The complainant shall select the Provider from among those approved by ICANN by submitting the complaint to that Provider. The selected Provider will administer the proceeding, except in cases of consolidation as described in Paragraph 4(f).
5. Initiation of Proceeding and Process and Appointment of Administrative Panel. The Rules of Procedure state the process for initiating and conducting a proceeding and for appointing the panel that will decide the dispute (the "Administrative Panel").
6. Consolidation. In the event of multiple disputes between You and a complainant, either You or the complainant may petition to consolidate the disputes before a single Administrative Panel. This petition shall be made to the first Administrative Panel appointed to hear a pending dispute between the parties. This Administrative Panel may consolidate before it any or all such disputes in its sole discretion, provided that the disputes being consolidated are governed by this Policy or a later version of this Policy adopted by ICANN.
7. Fees. All fees charged by a Provider in connection with any dispute before an Administrative Panel pursuant to this Policy shall be paid by the complainant, except in cases where You elect to expand the Administrative Panel from one to three panelists as provided in Paragraph 5(b)(iv) of the Rules of Procedure, in which case all fees will be split evenly by You and the complainant.
8. Dynamis Involvement in Administrative Proceedings. We do not, and will not, participate in the administration or conduct of any proceeding before an Administrative Panel. In addition, we will not be liable as a result of any decisions rendered by the Administrative Panel.
9. Remedies. The remedies available to a complainant pursuant to any proceeding before an Administrative Panel shall be limited to requiring the cancellation of Your domain name or the transfer of Your domain name registration to the complainant.
10. Notification and Publication. The Provider shall notify Dynamis of any decision made by an Administrative Panel with respect to a domain name You have registered with Dynamis. All decisions under this Policy will be published in full over the Internet, except when an Administrative Panel determines in an exceptional case to redact portions of its decision.
11. Availability of Court Proceedings. The mandatory administrative proceeding requirements set forth in Paragraph 4 shall not prevent either You or the complainant from submitting the dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction for independent resolution before such mandatory administrative proceeding is commenced or after such proceeding is concluded. If an Administrative Panel decides that Your domain name registration should be cancelled or transferred, we will wait ten (10) business days (as observed in the location of Dynamis principal office) after we are informed by the applicable Provider of the Administrative Panel's decision before implementing that decision. We will then implement the decision unless we have received from You during that ten (10) business day period official documentation (such as a copy of a complaint, file-stamped by the clerk of the court) that You have commenced a lawsuit against the complainant in a jurisdiction to which the complainant has submitted under Paragraph 3(b)(xiii) of the Rules of Procedure. (In general, that jurisdiction is either the location of Dynamis principal office or of Your address as shown in Dynamis Whois database. See Paragraphs 1 and 3(b)(xiii) of the Rules of Procedure for details.) If we receive such documentation within the ten (10) business day period, we will not implement the Administrative Panel's decision, and we will take no further action, until we receive (i) evidence satisfactory to Dynamis of a resolution between the parties; (ii) evidence satisfactory to Dynamis that Your lawsuit has been dismissed or withdrawn; or (iii) a copy of an order from such court dismissing Your lawsuit or ordering that You do not have the right to continue to use Your domain name.
5. All Other Disputes and Litigation
1. All other disputes between You and any party other than Dynamis regarding Your domain name registration that are not brought pursuant to the mandatory administrative proceeding provisions of Paragraph 4 shall be resolved between You and such other party through any court, arbitration or other proceeding that may be available.
6. Dynamis Involvement in Disputes
1. We will not participate in any way in any dispute between You and any party other than Dynamis regarding the registration and use of Your domain name. You shall not name Dynamis as a party or otherwise include Dynamis in any such proceeding. In the event that we are named as a party in any such proceeding, we reserve the right to raise any and all defences deemed appropriate, and to take any other action necessary to defend ourselves.

We reserve the right to cancel any transfer of a domain name registration to another holder that is made in violation of this subparagraph.
2. Changing Registrars.
