Who owns my domain name?
Domain names are as a licence. As you hold the domain name licence you can do what you want with it.
All domain names we register are registered in the customer's name. This means that for the duration of the registration period YOU are the licence holder of the domain name.
When the licence is due for renewal, you will have to pay a renewal fee. If you do not renew the licence, then it will become available for any eligible applicant to register on a first come first served basis on the Domain Open Market. This is why it is very important to pay a renewal fee for your domain name every year before the due date...don't get caught out loosing the rights over your Domain Name...you will loose the use of you whole website too...if this happens!
Can I register a brand name?
If you own the brand-name then - yes. If you register a brand-name or company name which belongs to another company as a domain name, you will be liable for any costs incurred as a result of the registration and it will be cancelled immediately.

The Registrant acknowledges that auDA may develop and implement other dispute resolution policies which are accessible by the Registrant as an alternative and further to any complaints handling procedure prescribed by the Registrar. Such policies bind the Registrar and the Registrant as if they were incorporated in the Registrant Agreement.
The Registrant warrants that it meets, and continues to meet, the eligibility criteria prescribed in auDA's Published Policies for registering a Domain Name. In the event that the Registrant ceases to meet such eligibility criteria, the Domain Name Licence may be terminated by either the Registrar or auDA.
The Registrant must not pursue any claim against auDA, and auDA is not liable for any direct, indirect, special, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, including but not limited to damages resulting from loss of use, lost profits, lost business revenue or third party damages arising from any breach by the Registrar of its obligations under the Registrant Agreement or the Registrar Agreement between auDA and the Registrar.
The Registrant agrees that auDA is not responsible for the use of any Domain Name in the Registry database and that auDA is not responsible in any way for any conflict or dispute with or any actual or threatened claim against a Registrar or Registrant, including one relating to a registered or unregistered trademark, a corporate, business or other trade-name, rights relating to a name or other identifying indicium or of an individual or other intellectual property rights of a third party or relating to the defamation or unlawful discrimination with respect to any other person.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this document and to the fullest extent permitted by law, auDA will not be liable to the Registrant for consequential, indirect or special losses or damages of any kind (including, without limitation, loss of profit, loss or corruption of data, business interruption or indirect costs) suffered by the Registrant as a result of any act or omission whatsoever of auDA, its employees, agents or sub-contractors. Nothing in this document is intended to exclude the operation of Trade Practices Act 1974.
