The Applicant acknowledges that bitinflow does not have the legal obligation to screen information submitted by the Applicant to determine the accuracy of the information held by bitinflow nor if the information may infringe upon the right(s) of a third party. It is the responsibility of the Applicant to ensure that such information remains accurate.

11. Right of Refusal and Cancellation

If the application is not accepted, bitinflow will notify the Applicant or the Applicant’s agent and return any payments received.

14. First Come, First Served

bitinflow is entitled to register Domain Names on a first come, first served basis.

15. Termination
