Terms

UKPHA.org terms and conditions specifically apply to domain registration customers. UKPHA.org fees are subject to change and we give a ninety day notice period to customers.

Registrations & Renewals:

Registering a Domain name does not confer any legal rights to that trade name. It is the responsibility of the party requesting registration and not Ukpha.org.uk to carry out a trademark search and check for any name disputes. We make no representation that the domain name you wish to register is available to be registered or that it will be registered in your name. You should therefore not assume registration of your requested domain name(s) until you have been notified of the registration. The registration and use of your domain name are subject to the terms and conditions of use by the particular naming body so please ensure you are aware of the terms and conditions. You will have no grounds for a claim against us in respect of refusal to register a domain name. We shall accept no liability in respect of the use by you of a domain name and any dispute between you and any other body must be resolved between the parties. In case of a dispute we will at our discretion withhold, suspend or cancel the disputed domain name. Any cancelled domain registrations shall be subject to our standard administration fees of £40. Cancellation requests must be received in writing not later than one month from registration.
