service. Member understands that Member is creating a separate

and subsequently register one or more additional different Domain Names,

Member will be listed as the registrant and administrative
contact in connection with Member's domain name; however, SiteCube.com may
temporarily list itself as the registrant and administrative contact in

registrars. After such time, SiteCube.com will not be responsible to
forward any notices, emails or other correspondence to Member or to take
any other actions in connection with Member's domain name. Additionally,

payment or any other reason, SiteCube.com shall not renew any domain names
that may become due for renewal during the suspension of the account.
