Domain Registration Contract

   1. AGREEMENT. In this Registration Agreement ("Agreement") "you" and
   "your" refer to each customer, "we", us" and "our" refer to Tucows.com
   Inc. and "Services" refers to the domain name registration provided by
   us as offered through Luce-McQuillin Corporation DBA Telerama Internet 
   Registration Service Provider ("RSP"). This Agreement explains our
   obligations to you, and explains your obligations to us for various Services.

   2. SELECTION OF A DOMAIN NAME. You represent that, to the best of the
   your knowledge and belief, neither the registration of the SLD name
   nor the manner in which it is directly or indirectly used infringes
   the legal rights of a third party and that the Domain Name is not
   being registered for any unlawful purpose.

   3. FEES. As consideration for the services you have selected, you
   agree to pay to us, or your respective RSP who remits payment to us on
   your behalf, the applicable service(s) fees. All fees payable
   hereunder are non-refundable. As further consideration for the
   Services, you agree to: (1) provide certain current, complete and
   accurate information about you as required by the registration process
   and (2) maintain and update this information as needed to keep it
   current, complete and accurate. All such information shall be referred
   to as account information ("Account Information"). You, by completing
   and submitting this Agreement represent that the statements in your
   application are true.

   4. TERM. You agree that the Registration Agreement will remain in full
   force during the length of the term of your Domain Name Registration.
   Should you choose to renew or otherwise lengthen the term of your
   Domain Name Registration, then the term of this Registration Agreement
   will be extended accordingly. This Agreement will remain in full force
   during the length of the term of your Domain Name Registration as
   selected, recorded, and paid for upon registration of the Domain Name.
   Should you choose to renew or otherwise lengthen the term of your
   Domain Name Registration, then the term of this Registration Agreement
   will be extended accordingly. Should you transfer your domain name or
   should the domain name otherwise be transferred due to another
   Registrar, the terms and conditions of this contract shall cease and
   shall be replaced by the contractual terms in force for the purpose of
   registering domain names then in force between SLD holders and the new
   Registrar.

   5. MODIFICATIONS TO AGREEMENT. You agree, during the period of this
   Agreement, that we may: (1) revise the terms and conditions of this
   Agreement; and (2) change the services provided under this Agreement.
   Any such revision or change will be binding and effective immediately
   on posting of the revised Agreement or change to the service(s) on our
   web site, or on notification to you by e-mail or regular mail as per
   the Notices section of this agreement. You agree to review our web
   site, including the Agreement, periodically to be aware of any such
   revisions. If you do not agree with any revision to the Agreement, you
   may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing us with notice
   by e-mail or regular mail as per the Notices section of this
   agreement. Notice of your termination will be effective on receipt and
   processing by us. You agree that, by continuing to use the Services
   following notice of any revision to this Agreement or change in
   service(s), you shall abide by any such revisions or changes. You
   further agree to abide by the ICANN Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy
   ("Dispute Policy") as amended from time to time. You agree that, by
   maintaining the reservation or registration of your domain name after
   modifications to the Dispute Policy become effective, you have agreed
   to these modifications. You acknowledge that if you do not agree to
   any such modifications, you may request that your domain name be
   deleted from the domain name database.

   6. MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR ACCOUNT. In order to change any of your
   account information with us, you must use your Account Identifier and
   Password that you selected when you opened your account with us.
   Please safeguard your Account Identifier and Password from any
   unauthorized use. In no event will we be liable for the unauthorized
   use or misuse of your Account Identifier or Password.

   7. DOMAIN NAME DISPUTE POLICY. If you reserved or registered a domain
   name through us, or transferred a domain name to us from another
   registrar, you agree to be bound by the Dispute Policy which is
   incorporated herein and made a part of this Agreement by reference.
   The current version of the Dispute Policy may be found at:
   http://www.opensrs.org/legal/udrp.shtml 
   Please take the time to familiarize yourself with this policy.

   8. DOMAIN NAME DISPUTES. You agree that, if the registration or
   reservation of your domain name is challenged by a third party, you
   will be subject to the provisions specified in the Dispute Policy in
   effect at the time of the dispute. You agree that in the event a
   domain name dispute arises with any third party, you will indemnify
   and hold us harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in
   the Dispute Policy. For any dispute, you agree to submit to the
   jurisdiction of the courts of The Province of Ontario.

   9. ICANN POLICY. You agree that your registration of the SLD name
   shall be subject to suspension, cancellation, or transfer pursuant to
   any ICANN-adopted policy, or pursuant to any registrar or registry
   procedure not inconsistent with an ICANN-adopted policy, (1) to
   correct mistakes by Registrar or the Registry in registering the name
   or (2) for the resolution of disputes concerning the SLD name.

   10. AGENCY. Should you intend to license use of a domain name to a
   third party you shall nonetheless be the SLD holder of record and are
   therefore responsible for providing your own full contact information
   and for providing and updating accurate technical and administrative
   contact information adequate to facilitate timely resolution of any
   problems that arise in connection with the SLD. You shall accept
   liability for harm caused by wrongful use of the SLD, unless you
   promptly disclose the identity of the licensee to the party providing
   you reasonable evidence of actionable harm. You also represent that
   you have provided notice of the terms and conditions in this Agreement
   to the third party and that the third party agrees to the terms of
   Disclosure and Use of Registration Information (sections 18 and 19 of
   this Agreement).

   11. ANNOUNCEMENTS. We and the RSP reserve the right to distribute
   information to you that is pertinent to the quality or operation of
   our services and those of our service partners. These announcements
   will be predominately informative in nature and may include notices
   describing changes, upgrades, new products or other information to add
   security or to enhance your identity on the Internet.

   12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. You agree that our entire liability, and
   your exclusive remedy, with respect to any Services(s) provided under
   this Agreement and any breach of this Agreement is solely limited to
   the amount you paid for such Service(s). We and our contractors shall
   not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or
   consequential damages resulting from the use or inability to use any
   of the Services or for the cost of procurement of substitute services.
   Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
   liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states, our
   liability is limited to the extent permitted by law. We disclaim any
   and all loss or liability resulting from, but not limited to: (1) loss
   or liability resulting from access delays or access interruptions; (2)
   loss or liability resulting from data non-delivery or data
   mis-delivery; (3) loss or liability resulting from acts of God; (4)
   loss or liability resulting from the unauthorized use or misuse of
   your account identifier or password; (5) loss or liability resulting
   from errors, omissions, or misstatements in any and all information or
   services(s) provided under this Agreement; (6) loss or liability
   resulting from the interruption of your Service. You agree that we
   will not be liable for any loss of registration and use of your domain
   name, or for interruption of business, or any indirect, special,
   incidental, or consequential damages of any kind (including lost
   profits) regardless of the form of action whether in contract, tort
   (including negligence), or otherwise, even if we have been advised of
   the possibility of such damages. In no event shall our maximum
   liability exceed five hundred ($500.00) dollars.

   13. INDEMNITY. You agree to release, indemnify, and hold us, our
   contractors, agents, employees, officers, directors and affiliates
   harmless from all liabilities, claims and expenses, including without
   limitation Network Solutions, Inc., and the directors, officers,
   employees and agents of each of them, including attorney's fees, of
   third parties relating to or arising under this Agreement, the
   Services provided hereunder or your use of the Services, including
   without limitation infringement by you, or someone else using the
   Service with your computer, of any intellectual property or other
   proprietary right of any person or entity, or from the violation of
   any of our operating rules or policy relating to the service(s)
   provided. You also agree to release, indemnify and hold us harmless
   pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Dispute Policy.
   When we are threatened with suit by a third party, we may seek written
   assurances from you concerning your promise to indemnify us; your
   failure to provide those assurances may be considered by us to be a
   breach of your Agreement and may result in deactivation of your domain
   name.

   14. TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP. The person named as administrative contact
   at the time the controlling user name and password are secured shall
   be the owner of the domain name. You agree that prior to transferring
   ownership of your domain name to another person (the Transferee") you
   shall require the Transferee to agree, in writing to be bound by all
   the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Your domain name will not
   be transferred until we receive such written assurances or other
   reasonable assurance that the Transferee has been bound by the
   contractual terms of this Agreement (such reasonable assurance as
   determined by us in our sole discretion) along with the applicable
   transfer fee. If the Transferee fails to be bound in a reasonable
   fashion (as determine by us in our sole discretion) to the terms and
   conditions in this Agreement, any such transfer will be null and void.

   15. BREACH. You agree that failure to abide by any provision of this
   Agreement, any operating rule or policy or the Dispute Policy provided
   by us, may be considered by us to be a material breach and that we may
   provide a written notice, describing the breach, to you. If within
   thirty (30) calendar days of the date of such notice, you fail to
   provide evidence, which is reasonably satisfactory to us, that you
   have not breached your obligations under the Agreement, then we may
   delete the registration or reservation of your domain name. Any such
   breach by you shall not be deemed to be excused simply because we did
   not act earlier in response to that, or any other breach by you.

   16. NO GUARANTY. You agree that, by registration or reservation of
   your chosen domain name, such registration or reservation does not
   confer immunity from objection to either the registration,
   reservation, or use of the domain name.

   17. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. You agree that your use of our Services
   is solely at your own risk. You agree that such Service(s) is provided
   on an "as is," "as available" basis. We expressly disclaim all
   warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not
   limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a
   particular purpose and non-infringement. We make no warranty that the
   Services will meet your requirements, or that the Service(s) will be
   uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error free; nor do we make any
   warranty as to the results that may be obtained from the use of the
   Service(s) or as to the accuracy or reliability of any information
   obtained through the Service or that defects in the Service will be
   corrected. You understand and agree that any material and/or data
   downloaded or otherwise obtained through the use of Service is done at
   your own discretion and risk and that you will be solely responsible
   for any damage to your computer system or loss of data that results
   from the download of such material and/or data. We make no warranty
   regarding any goods or services purchased or obtained through the
   Service or any transactions entered into through the Service. No
   advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from
   us or through the Service shall create any warranty not expressly made
   herein.

   to provide us certain information and to update us promptly as such

   accurate. You are obliged to provide us the following information:

   acknowledge that we will make domain name registration information you

   information, your wilful failure promptly to update information
   provided to us, or your failure to respond for over fifteen calendar
   days to inquiries by us concerning the accuracy of contact details

   Policy shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, or
