- By placing an order for domain registration, the Client authorizes Smartx Technologies to transmit the Client's order to the appropriate Registry or Registry Partner authorized to register the given domain. If the Client expresses a desire to renew the domain, the Client authorizes Smartx Technologies to transmit the relevant information to the appropriate Registry or Registry Partner. This authorization also includes obtaining and receiving, on behalf of the Client, domain authorization information in the form of an AuthInfo code and transferring domain service provided to the Client to another Registry Partner.
- The regulations of Registries and Registry Partners and their privacy policies are available on their websites. Links to those documents are published in the Annex no 1.
- In accordance with the rules of domain registration and due to Registry requirements, the data of the user registering the domain will be transmitted by the Registries to the WHOIS database.

This information may include the Smartx Technologies logo and a link to their website.
- The Client grants Registry Partners power of attorney to perform, on their behalf, activities related to the registration, maintenance, change of holder, deletion of the domain, and management of domain data.

- These powers of attorney enable the execution of orders and instructions submitted by the Client within the framework of the services, ensuring their optimal implementation.
- Smartx Technologies does not guarantee the registration or renewal of a domain name. The registration or renewal is solely dependent on the decision of the relevant Registry.
- Smartx Technologies will request the registration of the domain name from the relevant Registry upon receipt of the payment from the Client as specified in the order summary or at another time resulting from the rules established by the Registry.
