Whether or not Jiinubi gives its customer advance notice of any such disclosure will be governed by the terms of the order.

4. Additional FAQs

A. UDRP COMPLAINTS & PROCEEDINGS

Jiinubi is compliant with the UDRP guidelines set forth by ICANN. Should you file a UDRP related claim, you may submit a copy of the filed claim using the methods described herein to provide Jiinubi with notice of a domain name dispute with one of our customers.

B. NON-U.S. COURT ORDERS & SUBPOENAS

Jiinubi requires that, unless governed by ICANN regulations or other treaties/Acts to which we may be subject, all court orders and/or subpoenas must be issued by a U.S. court or law enforcement entity.

C. REQUEST FOR REGISTRANT INFORMATION OF DOMAINS

Jiinubi complies with ICANN guidelines, Registry rules for non-ICANN governed domains and privacy regulations. All requests for domain registrant information will be evaluated accordingly. In particular, where governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and/or ICANN, Jiinubi applies the balancing test set forth in Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

D. CUSTOMERS PROTECTED BY WITHHELD FOR PRIVACY

Jiinubi will not disclose the identity of a customer who is protected by privacy services offered by Jiinubi unless specifically required by U.S. court order/subpoena or as set forth in 4.C.

E. DO I NEED TO NAME JIINUBI AND/OR WITHHELD FOR PRIVACY IN THE LEGAL ACTION

No, you do not need to name Jiinubi or Withheld for Privacy in a legal action.

Please note that Withheld for Privacy is a third party provider and separate entity from Jiinubi. Withheld for Privacy is a private registration service that is wholly-based in Iceland. It provides privacy services only. This means that it has no control over the domain name, website content and/or other services provided to the customer through Jiinubi. Moreover, based on its design, it does receive nor does it have access to a domain registrant s information.

F. ACCURACY OF CUSTOMER INFORMATION REQUIRED

While Jiinubi does not require that you list the name of a customer who is protected by Withheld for Privacy in a court order or subpoena, we do require that any details which are set forth in a subpoena or court order must be accurate and specifically identify a customer. This means that, when you have a customer name, it must be the correct customer name associated with a domain or account for us to be able to take action pursuant to the court order/subpoena. It also means that the identifiers must be sufficient to identify a single Jiinubi customer. For this reason, please do not use an IP address as a sole identifier.

G. BANKRUPTCY & RECEIVERSHIPS

If a domain and/or website is subject to a bankruptcy proceeding or receivership, it is important to give Jiinubi notice as soon as possible. Bankruptcy and Receivership Orders must be issued in English and be able to be validated as authentic by Jiinubi. Jiinubi reserves the right to refuse action if the orders are outside of the U.S. and unable to be validated to our satisfaction. Orders must list individually any domain(s) and/or website(s) that are to be separated from other assets and it must state that the Trustee or Receiver has the authority to manage and sell them.

H. SETTLEMENTS & DOMAIN TRANSFERS

In general, customers may privately settle a dispute over a domain/website without Jiinubi s involvement. A transfer of ownership of such domain/website may be affected by the controlling party through their account panel.

In limited circumstances, parties may request Jiinubi s assistance in effecting a transfer to a new owner under a settlement agreement. If you are seeking our help, at a minimum we will require a copy of the legal settlement agreement which must:

  • Involve litigation;
  • Have notarized signatures from both parties;
  • Specify the affected domain name(s); and
  • Include a statement that the litigation will be dismissed with prejudice.

Further, Jiinubi reserves the right to require an indemnification agreement from one or more parties.

5. General

Reservation of Rights

Notwithstanding any of the above, Jiinubi reserves the right to challenge the validity of any subpoena or court order or otherwise move to quash or take such other action to secure an order from the relevant court that Jiinubi is not required to respond to the subpoena or court order.

Modification

Jiinubi reserves the right to modify this policy at any time in its sole and absolute discretion. Such modifications are effective immediately upon posting to this site.
