and authorize the Company’s placement of a “coming soon” page, and its associated
contents, on your parked domain. You may change the name server configuration (or

servers using the domains that you are currently registering, the names will initially

registration is complete, using your account manager.

If you are able to renew the domain name, you may update the domain to its
original settings. After expiration, but prior to renewal, the domain may be pointed to

charge for the parked domain. By not renewing the domain, the Company may place
an “expired” page, and its associated contents, on the parked domain. You may
change the name server configuration (or “un-park” the domain) after the renewal is

currently renewing, the names will initially be parked with the Company until you

manager.

sole discretion, renew and transfer the domain name to a third party on your behalf

and conditions contained in the applicable Dispute Policy. The Dispute Policy may be
