In addition to transactions entered into by You on Your behalf, You also agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement for transactions entered into on Your behalf by anyone acting as Your Agent, and transactions entered into by anyone who uses the account You've established with HostingDude.com, whether or not the transactions were in Your behalf. You acknowledge that HostingDude.com' s acceptance of any application made by You for services provided by HostingDude.com will take place at the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") accredited registrar's offices located in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA.

The Current Registrant and The New Registrant both agree they are entering into this Agreement of their own free will. The Current Registrant and the New Registrant acknowledge and agree HostingDude.com's sole role in connection with this Agreement is as processor of the transfer of the registration for the Domain Name and HostingDude.com's only responsibility under this Agreement will be to process the electronic transfer of the registration for the Domain Name.
