Registrant Rights, Benefits and Responsibilities
A summary of registrant rights, benefits, and responsibilities under ICANN policy.
ICANN requires registrars to make registrants aware of their rights and responsibilities. This page summarises them. It is based on the ICANN Registrant Rights and Responsibilities document and does not replace it. The authoritative version is published by ICANN at https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/responsibilities-2014-03-14-en

- The ability to transfer your domain to another registrar in line with the ICANN Transfer Policy, as described in our Registry Policies
- Fair handling of your personal data in line with applicable data-protection law and our Privacy Policy
- Access to a clear process for raising problems or complaints with us
Your responsibilities
As a registrant you are responsible for:
- Providing accurate and complete registrant contact data and keeping it current, and responding to verification requests
- Complying with ICANN consensus policies, registry rules, and our Terms and Conditions and Acceptable Use Policy
- Renewing your domain on time if you wish to keep it, and understanding that a domain not renewed may be subject to a grace period, a redemption period with a restoration fee, and ultimately release
