BY ACCESSING, USING, OR REGISTERING FOR THE SERVICES, YOU CONFIRM THAT YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS (the "Agreement"). If you do not agree, you may not use the Services.
These Terms, and any Contract between us, are only in the English language.

AboutYou.website is operated by Lehmann&Spehler S.A.R.L., a company registered in France under company number 753 453 083 R.C.S. Ajaccio and with our registered office at 29 rue Fesch, 20000 Ajaccio, Corse-du-Sud, France. Our VAT number is FR 77 753 453 083.
Lehmann&Spehler S.A.R.L. ("we" or "us") makes the Services available to you on the condition that you abide by this Agreement. The Services give users the ability to register their domain name on their behalf, create and edit their public profiles from their account as part of our different templates and functionalities.
Please note that we are not a domain name registrar, and therefore aren't able to provide other advanced Services linked to your domain name, including but not limited to the following : FTP, SFTP and/or SSH access, MySQL databases, custom DNS configuration or email accounts. If you require these advanced Services, we kindly advise you to register your domain name directly with a domain name registrar.
We may, in our sole discretion, change any aspect of the Services or discontinue any Service without notice. The Services are based in France. The Services are not designed or customized for any other country; you may use them only if they comply with the laws of the country from which you are accessing our Services.
Please read this Agreement carefully before creating, accessing or using the Services. You understand and agree that this Agreement governs your relationship with us and has the same effect as an agreement in writing.
By registering for the Services, you grant us permission to register the domain name you requested on your behalf. Lehmann&Spehler S.A.R.L. will act as your authorized Agent.
The availability of your domain name is automatically verified during registration. However, we do not guarantee the accuracy of this verification. In some rare instances, the domain name you requested may be: (1) Unavailable, most likely because it is already registered with another registrar, or that it is currently unavailable as per one of the ICANN's EPP Status Code; (2) Marked as "Premium," in which case we are not currently able to register the requested domain name on your behalf.
If the domain name you requested in not available when we process your order, we will contact you by email with alternative domain names. You are entitled to a full refund if you would like to cancel your order because your requested domain name is not available.
Our pricing structure is as follows:
By subscribing to our Services, you agree to pay us any subscription fees incurred for that service. Payments will be charged on the day you sign up for a paid service and will cover the use of that service for the designated period.
As part of our packages, we offer premium services such as domain name registrations. When you sign up to our Services, we will register your new domain name, incurring an annual fee of $11.99 (automatically renewable every 12 months), included in your subscription. Unfortunately, these domain name registration fees are NOT refundable under any circumstances, unless the domain name was not available at the time of registration or renewal. If you request a refund, we will deduct the annual registration fees of your domain from any amount we owe you.
You must designate a payment method and provide us with accurate billing and payment information. All billing information, including payment method, must be kept up to date. We will bill you for all fee-based Services through the payment method that is associated with any of your fee-based Services. You authorize and direct us to charge your designated payment method for these charges or, if your designated payment method fails, to charge any other payment method you have on file with us. Further, you authorize and direct us to retain information about the payment method(s) associated with your account. If we do not receive payment from your designated payment method or any other payment method on file, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by us. Every time you use a fee-based Service, you reaffirm that (a) we are authorized to charge your designated payment method; (b) we may submit charges incurred under your account for payment; and (c) you will be responsible for such charges, even if your account is cancelled by you or terminated by us.
We reserve the right to charge or change the payment terms and fees for any Service or feature upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to you. If you do not agree to the fees, you may terminate the Services before the new fees take effect without penalty to you.
To create an account, you must be at least 13 years of age. You must give us true and accurate information about yourself and keep that information up to date.
If you create a profile on the Services, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and profile, and you are fully responsible for all consequences and activities that occur under your account. You must not describe or assign keywords to your profile in a misleading or unlawful manner, including in a manner intended to trade on the name or reputation of others, and we may change or remove any description or keyword that it considers inappropriate or unlawful, or otherwise likely to cause us liability. You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized uses of your account or any other breaches of security.
You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access the Services and for any activities or actions under your password. We encourage you to use "strong" passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols) with your account. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.
If you create a profile, or otherwise transmit or post materials (e.g., text, graphics, applications, etc.) on the Services (any such material, "Content"), you understand and agree that you are entirely responsible for such Content that is provided by you or through your account.
