Registrants’ Benefits and Responsibilities

Under the approved latest Registrar Accreditation Agreement (“Registrar Accreditation Agreement”), domain name Registrants are granted rights and have responsibility that they are obliged to comply with.  These may update from time to time here and if in doubt please contact Brandsec with any questions that you may have.
