Notes

1. This policy (the "ICANN Policy") is now in effect. See http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp-schedule.htm for the implementation schedule.
2. The ICANN Policy has been adopted by all accredited domain-name registrars for domain names ending in .com, .net, and .org. It has also been adopted by certain managers of country-code top-level domains(e.g., .nu, .tv, .ws).
3. The ICANN Policy is incorporated into the domain registration agreement between the registrar (or other registration authority in the case of a country-code top-level domain) and its customer (the domain-name holder or registrant). Thus, the ICANN Policy uses "we" and "our" to refer to the registrar and it uses "you" and "your" to refer to the domain-name holder.
