Introduction

Kenya Network Information Centre (KeNIC) is a private non-profit-making organization whose responsibilities include managing the Domain Name registration service for .KE domains under the authority delegated by ICANN- Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.

KENIC organizes the space for .KE names via classifications designed to divide the .KE name space in such a way that it facilitates the accommodation of different kinds of institutions and sectors of activity. The registration of domains may thus be made directly under one of the .KE sub-domains in section 5b

This policy is between the registrar/registry "Kenic" and its customer the domain-name holder "Owner" or "registrant". Thus, the policy uses "we", "us" and "our" to refer to the registrar and it uses "you" and "your" to refer to the domain-name holder "Owner".

This Policy explains our obligations to you, and your obligations to us in relation to our .KE domain registration service. If you have submitted an application for .KE domain name registration services, any acceptance of your application and the performance of our services will occur at our offices in Nairobi, Kenya.

If your .KE domain name registration for a particular domain name previously were provided under arrangement with a previous registry, your continued registration of that domain name and the use of our .KE domain name registration services constitutes your assent to the terms of our Agreement.

If you submitted an application for our .KE domain name registration services, the Effective Date of the Agreement shall be the date of our acceptance of your application. If you previously received .KE domain name registration services from a previous registry, the Effective Date of the Agreement is 1st March 2003.
