Правила доменов .TC
The internet country code top-level domain .tc is allotted for The Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI), a British overseas territory. It was first introduced in the year 1997 and since then has been used by a number of individuals, a few of which are on the Island itself. The active top level domain is run by AdamsNames, a registered Company in England and Wales. The sponsoring organization is Melrex TC with administrative contact in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
The registry does not accept .tc registrations online at present, but the applicant can register online through one of their resellers such as 1GlobalPlace, Inc.: http://www.1globalplace.com, AB Name ISP: http://www.nameisp.com, ALL-TLD GmbH: http://www.all-tld.net, Alldomains: http://www.alldomains.com and more. Registrations are also accepted by e-mail at new@adamsnames.com. Applicants may fill out form A (the short registration-form) or form B (the long registration-form). Your mail will be processed within a minute and you will be informed if your application has been successfully accepted by the registry.
Once an application is granted, the registrant must abide by the terms and conditions set forth by the registry. Fortunately, however, AdamsNames offers multiple domains and open registration for entities throughout the world without any residency requirements. Keep in mind, though, that there are fees associated with registration although some discounts are allowed. European residents will be charged VAT at 17.5%.
There is a free domain service at http://ww.smartdots.com which offers free domain registration for .tc domain names. In addition, it offers free URL redirections to second level domains from .tc for a total of 22 second-level domains including .net.tc, .us.tc and cz.tc.
Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions relate to all completed registration forms
for the Top Level Domains which are accepted by the Company.
1. Applications to register
All applications must be made by e-mail using the template provided,
which should be completed but otherwise not modified in any way.
2. Acceptance and payment
While the domain name applied for, if in accordance with our naming
policy and not already in use, will normally be allotted to the
applicant, the Company reserves the right to refuse registration
without giving reasons. Acceptance and payment of the annual fee
(currently US$50) creates an agreement for 12 months. Applicants may
be invoiced by the Company, or may choose to have the amount collected
by the Company from the applicant's account with Visa or Mastercard.
Applicants who are concerned about the security implications of
tranmission in clear may use PGP encrypted e-mail. Successful
applicants will be supplied with a password which should at all times
be used when in any communication with the Company after
registration. Applicants are responsible for their own security so far
as their password is concerned, and where the Company acts on
instructions received under password which relate in any way to this
contract, no liability will be accepted arising from wrongful use of
the password.
Successful applicants will be supplied with a password which must at
all times be used when in any communication with the Company after
registration. If desired this password may come from a previously
registered object in the Company's registration database.
3. Termination by the applicant
This agreement and the licence referred to below may be terminated
at any time by the applicant by giving the Company 28 days notice
in writing (electronic e-mail message being regarded as writing for
this purpose) but no refund of fees shall be made in this event. As
a precaution against unauthorised termination, applicants must include
the password supplied by the Company when the domain was registerred.
4. Renewal
If the Company has not received notice of termination, this
agreement will be renewed at the end of the first year (subject to
the Company's termination rights set out below) and on each
subsequent anniversary, on the Terms and Conditions then in force,
and the annual fee for the time being will be collected from the
applicants credit card account.
5. Licence
Acceptance of your application creates a licence for you to use the
domain name allotted to you for access to the information on the
Internet during the currency of this agreement, subject to the
obligations of the applicant and the termination rights of the
Company set out below
6. Obligations of the applicant
