d. "[Insert name of CORE-hub member/partner here] refers to the COREhub reseller through which your application is processed (“Reseller”).

Also, Partner is free to put this Agreement in their own format without changing any of the actual content of the Agreement.]
e. Any reference to a “Registry” or “Registry Operator” shall refer to the entity responsible for operating the registry for the top-level domain (“TLD”) where the domain name You apply for is to be registered.
a. You acknowledge that the practice of registering and administering domain names is constantly evolving. Therefore, You agree that We may need to modify this Agreement, as is necessary to comply with the requirements of ICANN and/or the Registries. We may, in Our sole discretion, elect to discontinue offering registrations or renewals of some or all TLDs by providing a previous reasonable notice, in which case You would be offered the opportunity that your domain name registration is transferred to another registrar.
b. All amendments to this Agreement will be posted on COREhub website at http://corehub.net/registrationagreement/. You will be notified of any material amendment to this Agreement through email or other reasonable means.

d. Your continued use of the domain name registered through Our Registration Services will constitute Your acceptance of this Agreement and of the applicable Registry Policies and any revisions. If You do not agree to any change, You may request that your domain name registration is cancelled or transferred to a different accredited registrar. You agree that such cancellation or request for transfer will be Your exclusive remedy if You do not wish to abide by any change to this Agreement or to the applicable Registry Policies.

We will not be liable in any case for such cancellation.
d. We cannot guarantee that You will obtain a desired domain name, even if an inquiry indicates that a domain name is available at the time of Your application. You agree that in the event of any dispute concerning the time of the entry of a domain name registration into the Registry system, the timestamp shown in the Registry system records shall control.
e. You acknowledge and agree that registration of Your chosen domain name does not confer immunity from objection to the registration or use of the domain name.
