Terms of Service at http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms. Regardless of whether Yahoo! has provided You notice, Your continued use of the Service (as defined below) following Yahoo!'s notice or posting of changed Terms will constitute Your acceptance of such changes.

Wallet (including billing and credit card related information), and other account information (all together, the "Account Information"), and agree to maintain and update this information to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete; and (d) represent and warrant that You have the power and authority to enter into and perform under these Terms. If these Terms or any future changes are unacceptable to You, Your sole remedy is to cancel Your Service.
The complete list of services (the "Service") governed by these Terms is as follows:

Except for Sections 10 and 12 (Merchant Solutions and Personal Mail), these entire Terms apply to You. If You are a Business Mail customer, Your Service includes Business Mail and Domain Name features. Except for Sections 9, 10, and 12 (Merchant Solutions and Personal Mail), these entire Terms apply to You. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new Service resources, shall be subject to these Terms. In order to use the Service, You must obtain access to the World Wide Web, either directly or through devices that access web-based content, and pay any fees associated with such access. You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining all telephone, computer hardware and other equipment needed for Your access to and use of the Service and any Software, and for all related fees.
In order to use the Service, You must have a valid Yahoo! ID and have agreed to the Yahoo! Terms of Service found at http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/. You must also have a Yahoo! Wallet, which will save Your credit card, billing, and shipping information and other information.
4.1 Payment Terms The credit card that You provide for Yahoo! Wallet will be automatically billed. All fees are cumulative and payable in U.S. dollars. All fees are non-refundable, regardless of whether the Service is cancelled or terminated by You or Yahoo!, at any time, unless expressly stated as otherwise in these Terms. You will be charged for any extra fee features or add-ons that You subscribe to or use during each applicable billing cycle. If Your credit card is invalid or you are otherwise past-due in your payments for any reason, the Service may be terminated and removed from Yahoo!'s servers by Yahoo!, and all the information contained within deleted permanently. Yahoo! accepts no liability for information or content that is deleted due to an invalid credit card or where your payments are past-due. Please note: If you have received an offer for a specific number of free days of hosting in connection with signing up for a Service, then you will not be charged for the first time for hosting until after your free time period has ended. Subsequent billing dates will be on the monthly anniversary of the day you were first charged. For example, if you purchase a monthly subscription on October 15th and you get the first 30 days free, then you will not be charged at all until November 14th (there are 31 days in October). You would be charged again on December 14th, January 14th, and so on, until you decide to cancel. Yahoo! in its discretion may offer discounts or special offers from time to time. Yahoo! may, upon 30 days prior notice to You, alter any fees or terms of payment for Service at any time for any reason. 4.2 Merchant Solutions If You are a Merchant Solutions customer, You will be charged (a) a one-time setup fee, (b) a monthly hosting fee at the beginning of each month, and (3) monthly transaction fee equal to a percentage of the Total Revenue, with payments due on the 6th day of the month after the calendar month to which the transaction fee applies. Go to http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/merchant/pricing.php for current fee terms. "Total Revenue" means the total dollar amount, excluding shipping and handling charges and any applicable taxes, of all transactions conducted through Your Store. You will be entitled to identify, and exclude from Total Revenue, those transactions conducted through Your Store that are cancelled or for which no products are shipped to the purchaser ("Excluded Transactions"), except that You must identify a transaction as an Excluded Transaction within 90 days from the date on which the transaction was originally conducted. Yahoo! shall be entitled to audit, at a mutually agreed upon time during normal business hours, those records of Yours relating to Total Revenue, including Excluded Transactions, and otherwise to investigate Total Revenue, including Excluded Transactions, which might include contacting the purchaser to confirm that a transaction at issue is an Excluded Transaction. Yahoo! will calculate all fees and, in its discretion, may either (a) charge fees to the credit card that You designated, or (b) invoice You for the fees, to be paid by You within ten (10) days after the invoice date. Late payments shall bear interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less). If You fail to make timely payment, You will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by Yahoo! in collecting such amounts. 4.3 Web Hosting If You are a Web Hosting customer, You will be charged (a) a one-time setup fee, and (b) a monthly hosting fee at the beginning of each month. Yahoo! will calculate all fees. Go to http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/webhosting for current fee terms. 4.4 Business Mail If You are a Business Mail customer, You will be charged (a) a one-time setup fee, and (b) a monthly service fee at the beginning of each month. Yahoo! will calculate all fees. Go to http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/mail for current fee terms. 4.5 Data Transfer Fee For Merchant Solutions and Web Hosting customers, if You choose the automatic billing option for extra data transfer for the Service and You go over Your package allotment, You will be billed automatically for each extra transfer rate increment. You will not be refunded for the extra data transfer in that increment that You did not use. If You do not choose automatic billing at registration, and You use up all Your data transfer capability in any given month, You can go back to Your options settings and opt in to automatic billing. You may opt out of automatic billing for extra data transfer at any time. 4.6 Upgrades and Downgrades You can upgrade or downgrade between the plans and products listed in Section 1 above at any time. Such upgrade or downgrade will take effect immediately. For any upgrade in plan level or product, the credit card that You provided will automatically be refunded a pro-rata amount for the lower level Service and charged a pro-rata amount for the higher level Service. The refund and charge will both be based on the number of days remaining in the monthly term. The anniversary date of service will not change. For any downgrade, Your credit card will be refunded a pro-rata amount for the days remaining in the monthly term. Fees may not be credited towards other services.
5.1 Term The initial term of these Terms will be for a period of one (1) month commencing on the date that You click the "I AGREE" button to these Terms and will automatically renew for successive monthly periods at renewal rates applicable at the time, unless terminated by either party according to these Terms (the "Term"). 5.2 Cancellation/Termination by You You may cancel Your Service and terminate these Terms at any time. If You cancel the Service before the end of the monthly term, Your Service and access to the Service will be discontinued immediately, and no refund will be provided for the remainder of the monthly term. If You registered for a new domain name in conjunction with Your Service, and cancel before You have paid your second monthly term payment without disputing such charge with either your credit card company or Yahoo!, Yahoo! reserves the right to request the domain name provider to remove the domain name from the domain name registry and/or transfer the domain name from You to Yahoo!. You acknowledge that where Yahoo! transfers such domain name to Yahoo! under this Section 5.2, Yahoo! will hold all rights of the registered domain name holder in respect of that domain name, including the right to sell the domain name to a third party (where this was a right held by You as the original registrant in respect of the relevant domain name). Additionally, Your domain name will cease working with Your email and no longer point to Your web site. After cancellation and when the monthly term ends, You will no longer have access to Your web site and all information contained therein may be deleted by Yahoo!. If You did not register for a new domain name in conjunction with the Service, or did register for a new domain name but cancel Your Service after You have paid Your second monthly term payment without disputing such charge with either your credit card company or Yahoo!, Your domain name will remain registered for its current term. However, Your domain name will cease working with Your email and no longer point to Your web site. After cancellation and when the monthly term ends, You will no longer have access to Your web site and all information contained therein may be deleted by Yahoo!. 5.3 Termination by Yahoo! Yahoo! may terminate these Terms at any time upon notice to You. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Yahoo! may also, but has no duty to, immediately suspend or terminate Your Service, terminate Your access and password, remove Your Service from Yahoo! servers, or remove any Content within the Service, if Yahoo! concludes that You (a) have breached, violated, or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms, including any applicable Yahoo! policy or Guideline or any applicable law or regulation; (b) have provided false information as part of your Account Information; (c) are engaged in fraudulent or illegal activities or the sale of illegal or harmful goods or services; or (d) are engaged in activities or sales that may damage the rights of Yahoo! or others (each "Termination for Cause"). Any Termination for Cause by Yahoo! will take effect immediately, and You expressly agree that You will not have any opportunity to cure. If Your Yahoo! ID is terminated for any reason, these Terms and Your access to the Service will also be terminated. Additionally, if You registered a new domain name in conjunction with Your Service, and Yahoo! terminates Your Service due to a Termination for Cause before You have paid your second monthly term payment without disputing such charge with either your credit card company or Yahoo!, then Yahoo! reserves the right to request the domain name provider to remove the domain name from the domain name registry and/or transfer the domain name from You to Yahoo!. You acknowledge that where Yahoo! transfers such domain name to Yahoo! under this Section 5.3, Yahoo! will hold all rights of the registered domain name holder in respect of that domain name, including the right to sell the domain name to a third party (where this was a right held by You as the original registrant in respect of the relevant domain name). 5.4 Deletion of Content Upon any termination of the Service, Yahoo! reserves the right to permanently delete from its servers any and all information and content contained in Your account or Service, including but not limited to order processing information, mailing lists, files, email, and any web pages generated by You or the Service. Yahoo! accepts no liability for such deleted information or content. 5.5 Waiver You expressly waive any statutory or other legal protection in conflict with the provisions of this Section 5.

Business Services Product Updates may include information about Merchant Solutions, Business Mail, Web Hosting, and Domains, in addition to other related products and services.

11.1 Service Description Business Mail allows You to register a domain name and to create web-based or pop email accounts for the purpose of sending and receiving email at the domain name registered by You. You can create email sub-accounts for Domain Email Users so that they may send and receive email with selected email addresses. You expressly agree that any violation of these Terms may result in termination of any and all email accounts, as determined in Yahoo!'s sole discretion. Yahoo! expressly assumes no liability for any losses incurred due to Domain Email User activities. 11.2 Domain Email Users If You are a Domain Email User, Your use of Your email sub-account is also subject to these Terms, and that Your violation of these Terms may result in termination of Your sub-account, or the entire Service, as determined in Yahoo!'s sole discretion. Please note that all Domain Email Users who are assigned web-based email sub-accounts must have Yahoo! ID's and are subject to the Yahoo! Terms of Service. Yahoo! expressly assumes no liability for any losses incurred by the company due to Domain Email User activities. Domain Email Users who are assigned web-based email sub-accounts may use their Yahoo! ID's to access Yahoo! Calendar, Address Book, Briefcase, and Notepad (collectively "PIM") in conjunction with their Business Mail email account. Information residing in a Domain Email User's PIM belongs to the Domain Email User. Information residing in the separate Business Mail account belongs to You. You may edit preferences, settings, add or delete email addresses, read or send email, monitor Domain Email User behavior, and control access to certain areas on the Business Mail account.
For Web Hosting Starter customers only, the Yahoo! Mail Personal Address Terms of Service also apply.
13.1 If You register a new domain name in conjunction with the Service, the following terms also apply: (a) Yahoo! has chosen Internet Names Worldwide (a division of Melbourne IT Limited), or "INWW," an ICANN accredited registrar for .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, and .us domain names, to provide domain name registration services. You hereby authorize Yahoo! to acquire Your selected domain name from INWW. In order to receive a domain name, You must agree to INWW's terms and conditions, which is at the bottom of these Terms and also located at http://domains.yahoo.com/inwwagree.html for .com, .net, .org, .biz, and .info domain names and http://domains.yahoo.com/inwwagree_us.html for .us domain names, as may be amended. You understand that You are creating a separate contractual relationship between You and INWW, and that You, and not Yahoo!, are responsible for all fees, liability, and obligations in connection with that relationship. Until the Service is cancelled or otherwise terminated, Yahoo! will pay on Your behalf the domain registration/renewal fees as part of the Service. You agree that Your obligations to indemnify under "Indemnity" in these Terms includes any claim or demand associated with Your domain name, any domain name pre-registration services provided through the Service, or the INWW terms and conditions. (b) You will be listed as the registrant and administrative contact in connection with Your domain name, unless You choose another registrant and administrative contact. If You choose a registrant and administrative contact other than Yourself, such person(s) must enter into an agreement directly with the INWW and, additionally, will be bound by this Agreement in addition to You. You hereby authorize Yahoo! to list itself as the billing contact, technical contact, and name server in connection with Your domain name and to take any actions Yahoo! deems appropriate in those capacities. However, upon termination of the Service, Yahoo! may immediately cease acting in those capacities and reserves the right to transfer Your account to INWW for collection of past-due amounts. In the event of such transfer, You authorize INWW to serve as the billing contact, technical contact and name server in connection with Your domain name, and to take any actions the INWW deems appropriate in those capacities. Upon termination of the Service, Yahoo! will not be responsible for forwarding any notices, emails, or other correspondence to You or taking any other actions in connection with Your domain name. You will be solely responsible for all ongoing fees, as well as removing Yahoo! as the billing, technical contact, and name servers in connection with Your domain name, unless Yahoo! notifies You otherwise. 13.2 Using a pre-existing domain name. If You have previously registered a domain name with another provider and want to use it with the Service, You must request that the existing registrar change the name servers for the domain name as designated by Yahoo!, on Your behalf. PLEASE NOTE: THE EXISTING REGISTRAR WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE REGISTRAR FOR THAT DOMAIN AND YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL ONGOING FEES FOR THAT DOMAIN NAME WITH YOUR EXISTING PROVIDER, INCLUDING RENEWAL FEES. THE FEES PAYABLE TO YAHOO! FOR THE SERVICE DO NOT INCLUDE REGISTRATION OR RENEWAL FEES OWED BY YOU TO YOUR EXISTING PROVIDER. 13.3 Transferring to Yahoo!'s registrar of record. INWW is Yahoo!'s current registrar of record. If Yahoo! switches to another registrar of record, Yahoo! may at any time request in writing that You transfer the domain name registered for the Service to the new registrar of record. If You do not agree to this request within 30 days, You agree that Yahoo! will continue to provide the Service to You, but may, in its sole discretion, either: (a) require You to pay an additional fee to Yahoo! for the Service in order to renew and maintain Your domain name with the prior registrar of record; or (b) require You to be responsible for all fees, including any renewal fees, directly with the prior registrar of record, in which case You authorize Yahoo! to cease to pay for the domain name fees as part of the Service, and change the billing contact details for the domain name from Yahoo! to You by providing Your applicable Account Information to the prior registrar of record. 13.4 Verifying Your Domain Name Information. In compliance with ICANN regulation and the INWW gTLD Terms and Conditions or the INWW .us Terms and Conditions, as applicable ("Required Information") and in order to minimize the risk of fraud, Yahoo! may at any time request You to verify any information required to be supplied by a registrant. If You fail to respond to any such request or fail to verify any Required Information to Yahoo!'s reasonable satisfaction, within 15 days of any such request from Yahoo!, Yahoo! may, in its sole discretion, immediately terminate Your Service and remove any of Your materials, including Your domain name, from Yahoo! servers.
You agree to comply with all applicable U.S. and non-U.S. laws, rules, regulations, and orders, including but not limited to, tax, export and import, embargo and trade sanctions, intellectual property, including copyright, content, sales, mail-order, commerce, and e-commerce laws and regulations.
Yahoo! reserves the right to establish limitations on the extent of any support provided for the Service, and the hours at which it is available.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Yahoo!, and its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, co-branders or other partners, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, and agents, from any claim, demand, or investigation, including reasonable attorneys fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of Your Content, Your conduct, Your use of the Service, the goods or services offered or sold through Your Service, any alleged violation of these Terms, including any applicable Yahoo! policies or Guidelines, law, or regulation, or any alleged violation of any rights of another, including but not limited to Your use of any content, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrighted or patented material, or other intellectual property used in connection with Your Service. Yahoo! reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by You, but doing so shall not excuse Your indemnity obligations.
You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell, or exploit any portion of the Service, use of the Service, or access to the Service without the express permission by Yahoo!.
You acknowledge that Yahoo! may establish general practices and limits concerning use of the Service.
Yahoo! reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that Yahoo! shall not be liable to You or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.

None of the violations of the Restrictions will be enforced directly by or through Registry Operator.
