Use of Domain Names must be consistent with the Customer’s existing Standard Service Agreement with Dialog. The database may not be used for telemarketing, spamming, harassment, any unlawful purpose or violation of applicable law, nor may it be used to: (i) allow, enable, or otherwise support the transmission, by e-mail, telephone, or facsimile, of mass, unsolicited, commercial advertising or solicitations; or (ii) enable high-volume, automated, electronic processes that send queries or data to the systems of any domain name registry operator or registrar, except as reasonably necessary to register domain names or to modify existing domain name registrations.

Without limitation or waiver of any other right or remedy, Dialog may terminate the Customer’s access to Domain Names without notice, in the event that Dialog or SnapNames believes, in their sole discretion, that Customer has violated any provision of these Terms and Conditions.

Dialog reserves the right to exclude from access to Domain Names those domain name registries and registrars and entities affiliated with such registries and registrars (including, but not limited to, wholly owned subsidiaries, parent companies, joint ventures or partnerships, independent agents, resellers, and distributors) who do not in Dialog's sole judgement comply fully with ICANN regulations related to the provision of whois data (including by bulk whois) to third parties for non-marketing purposes.

Customer hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, any claim for damages, injunctive relief, declaratory judgment and any other remedy pursuant to any statute, law, regulation or common law of the United States of any state, arising from such termination by Dialog and SnapNames, and Customer agrees to indemnify Dialog and SnapNames for any damages, costs, or expenses incurred by Dialog and SnapNames (including reasonable attorney's fees) by reason of Customer’s assertion of any such claim.

Domain Names Terms and Conditions are in addition to those found in The Dialog Corporation's Standard Service Agreement. If there is a conflict between these terms and conditions and those in The Dialog Corporation's Standard Service Agreement, these Terms and Conditions will apply.

Fields with new or modified information marked with an asterisk (*)

+Sample record does not contain real data.

BASIC INDEX [top]

¹ Due the large size of the Domain Names database, it is suggested that truncation be used with caution. Using OR with commonly used terms may provide more complete results, e.g., S COMPUTER OR COMPUTERS.

² Searchable in both Basic Index and Additional Index.

³ Names may be entered in different ways. It is suggested that the (N) proximity operator be used for best results, e.g., S MASTER(1N)CARPENTER/ON or ON=(MASTER(1N)CARPENTER).

⁴ Trademarks can be searched in the basic index using the /TX suffix, e.g., S HOUSE(1w)LLOYD/TX. Trademarks can also be phrase-searched in the ET= index.

ADDITIONAL INDEXES [top]

⁵ For comprehensive retrieval, it is recommended that both AC= and AD= be used, e.g., S AC=MAIN? OR AD=MAIN?

⁶ Country names may be entered in abbreviated form or spelled out in full. It is recommended that both forms be used for comprehensive retrieval, e.g, S CN=(UK OR UNITED KINGDOM)

⁷ Email addresses which contain an underbar,e.g., mike_mcgrady@att.net, must be split to search correctly. To do this, SELECT the first portion with the search AND the second portion of the email address using the appropriate Dialog search Additional Index field, e.g., S EM=(MIKE AND MCCRADY@WORLDNET.ATT.NET).

⁸ Telephone numbers may be entered in with spaces, periods or hyphens between numbers. All forms should be included for comprehensive results, e.g., S TA=(408 222? or 408.222? or 408-222?)

⁹ Use the rotated TR= index to search domain name fragments or endings (excluding extensions). TR= index entries are strings of characters from which punctuation has been removed. To search for a domain fragment such as "the-dog", use TR=thedog? For the most comprehensive retrieval, use the question mark (?) to search word fragments occurring within the domain name. Use the @ character to indicate that the string is the ending of a domain name, e.g., TR=DOG@ to find domain names ending in "dog". Searches based on TR= should not be used with proximity operators.

¹⁰ When using the REPORT command, specifying AC, AD, or FX will only retrieve the address or fax number of the registrant. Enter HELP RPT225X to see more report codes.
