The following is part of InterNIC's domain registration policy and should be read carefully:
"By applying for the domain name and through the use or continued use of the domain name, the applicant agrees to be bound by the terms of NSI's then current domain name policy (the 'Policy Statement') which is available at ftp://rs.internic.net/policy/internic.domain.policy.txt. The applicant acknowledges and agrees
that NSI may change the terms and conditions of the Policy Statement from time to time as provided in the Policy Statement.
"The applicant agrees that if the use of the domain name is challenged by any third party, or if any dispute arises under this Registration Agreement, as amended, the applicant will abide by the procedures specified in the Policy Statement. "This Registration Agreement shall be governed in all respects by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the United States of America and of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of law rules. This Registration Agreement is the complete and exclusive agreement of the applicant and NSI ("parties") regarding domain names. It supersedes, and its terms govern, all prior proposals, agreements, or other communications between the parties. This Registration Agreement may only be amended as provided in the Policy Statement."
Providing you aren't taking someone else's trademark or otherwise infringing on their legal rights, You, the applicant, are the owner of the domain name. TopDomain acts as a service agency only and has no interests in or claims on the name. The owner (known to InterNIC as the Administrative Contact) has full authority and responsibility for the domain name and its use.
