2. Domain Name Expiration and Renewals
When You register a domain name, automatic renewal is the default setting, which You must deactivate if
You do not want Your domain name(s) to be automatically renewed. Unless You disable the automatic
renewal option, GDI will automatically renew any domain name that is up for renewal and will takepayment from the Payment Method You have on file with GDI, at GDI's then current rates. Domain namerenewals will be non-refundable. If for any reason GDI is not able to take the payment from the Payment
Method You have on file, and You fail to respond to our notices, Your domain name registration will
expire. It is Your responsibility to keep Your Payment Method information current, which includes the
expiration date if you are using a credit card. If You do not elect that the domain name be automaticallyrenewed, You have the responsibility of manually implementing the renewal by the expiration date(should You in fact want the domain name to be renewed). If You fail to manually implement the renewal

before the expiration date, the domain name will be cancelled and You will no longer have use of that
name.
Pending expiration notices will be sent by email to the registered name holder a minimum of two times:
approximately one month prior to expiration and approximately one week prior to expiration.
You agree that GDI will not be responsible for cancelled domain names that You fail to renew, either
automatically or manually in the timeframes indicated in this Agreement. In any case, if You fail to renew
Your domain name in a timely fashion, additional charges may apply.
Expired domains will have their existing DNS interrupted and may be redirected to a parking page.
Expired domains, prior to deletion, may be renewed for a standard renewal fee. Non-renewed domains
will be deleted between 30 and 40 days after their expiration.
If Your .COM or .NET domain is deleted, the Registry also provides a 30-day Redemption Grace Period
during which You may pay GDI a redemption fee and redeem Your domain name. The redemption fee iscurrently $100 USD and is subject to change under the terms of Section 2 of this Agreement. If You do
not redeem Your domain name prior to the end of the Registry’s Redemption Grace Period the Registry
