Perhaps someone can explain this seeming paradox:
...
"Registrar's dispute policy shall require the SLD holder to indemnify,
^^^
defend and hold harmless NSI, and its directors, officers, employees and...
agents from
So, my query is this: Will NSI in its registrar capacity be required to
indemnify itself (as registry), which takes it off the hook against any and
all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable
legal fees and expenses arising out of or relating to the SLD holder's
domain name registration. If so, doesn't that advantage (in unreasonable
and inequitable ways) NSI over the other registrars by insulating it from
potential lawsuits?
This standard indemnification provision applies to the
Second Level Domain registrants vis-a-vis NSIRegistry.Net.
It simply says that if the SLD does something that results
in NSIRegistry.net getting dragged as a third party into
litigation as a result of the SLD's action, that SLD will pay
NSIRegistry.net's related costs. It is entirely reasonable
and appropriate, and I expect that every registrar will
have a similar provision regarding themselves and SLD
registrants.
