Terms and conditions of use

These terms and con­di­tions of use (“T&Cs”) are sub­ject to French law. They define the con­di­tions and legal oblig­a­tions relat­ed to the use of the web­site acces­si­ble at https://www.nameshield.com/en (here­inafter the “Site”). Access to the site and its use (whether you are a mem­ber or not) brings with it your explic­it and unre­served accep­tance of these T&Cs and any oth­er rules, poli­cies and oper­at­ing pro­ce­dures which may be pub­lished in the future, and which will be incor­po­rat­ed in the “Changes to T&Cs” sec­tion.

  • Pre­sen­ta­tion Nameshield, a sim­pli­fied joint stock com­pa­ny whose reg­is­tered office is locat­ed at 7 Rue de Cau­martin, 75009 Paris, reg­is­tered with the RCS Paris under the num­ber B399 140 961, is the own­er and host of the Site. The pub­li­ca­tion direc­tor is Jean-Paul Béchu. Nameshield is enti­tled to reg­is­ter and renew domain names and offers var­i­ous ser­vices relat­ed to their man­age­ment.
  • Terms and Con­di­tions of Sale For every pur­chase of a ser­vice, Nameshield’s terms and con­di­tions of sale apply to the pur­chas­er. These T&Cs are dis­tinct and do not apply to the sale of goods or ser­vices offered by Nameshield.
  • Change to T&Cs Nameshield reserves the right to change these T&Cs at any time with­out pri­or notice. It is up to users to check reg­u­lar­ly the changes that may occur.
  • Intel­lec­tu­al prop­er­ty Nameshield is a reg­is­tered trade­mark and the Site is the exclu­sive prop­er­ty of Nameshield. No use of the brand, logos, graph­ics, text, names, tabs, trim, fea­tures or con­tent on the Site, includ­ing the avail­abil­i­ty search tool, is allowed with­out Nameshield’s pri­or, express and writ­ten con­sent.
  • Using the avail­abil­i­ty search Via the Site, Nameshield pro­vides users online access to search avail­abil­i­ty of a domain name and access to the whois data­base for that name in order to see the tech­ni­cal and admin­is­tra­tive details of a reg­is­tered domain name. Nameshield is sub­ject to the rules imposed by the NICs and thus may lim­it your access to research avail­abil­i­ty or to whois records. Nameshield does not under­take to ensure the com­plete­ness of the search result and does not guar­an­tee the accu­ra­cy of search results. You acknowl­edge that Nameshield does not have the means to con­trol the con­tent of the WHOIS data­base in prin­ci­ple, and has no con­trol over the con­tent of these data­bas­es. This avail­abil­i­ty search tool is made avail­able to you free of charge and you agree to use it in accor­dance with laws and reg­u­la­tions and to not col­lect infor­ma­tion for com­mer­cial pur­pos­es. You acknowl­edge that this research is car­ried out at a spe­cif­ic time and there­fore does not take into account the reg­is­tra­tion appli­ca­tions that have not yet been processed by the NICs.
  • Links to oth­er sites The Site may pro­vide links to oth­er Inter­net sites over which Nameshield has no con­trol. There­fore, Nameshield can nev­er be held respon­si­ble for the con­tent of these sites and asso­ci­at­ed ser­vices.
  • Cook­ies The user is informed that dur­ing his/her vis­its to the site, a cook­ie may be auto­mat­i­cal­ly installed on your brows­er. A cook­ie is an ele­ment that does not iden­ti­fy the user but is used to record infor­ma­tion about his/her nav­i­ga­tion on the web­site. Users may deac­ti­vate this cook­ie using the set­tings con­tained with­in their browsers.
  • Lim­i­ta­tion of lia­bil­i­ty In no case may Nameshield be held liable for any direct or indi­rect dam­age, includ­ing mate­r­i­al dam­age, loss of data or pro­grams, finan­cial loss­es aris­ing from access to or use of the Site or any site with which it is linked.
