All domains registered by Host Color for customers entering the Whois database with names and contacts of their owner. Placing of correct data - name, address, telephone, etc. - In the fields for contacts in the registration of web addresses is required. Putting inaccurate or false information is basis for HostColor.com to suspend services.
Each domain that you register may be placed on status "Confidential" (Whois Privacy Shield), which allows you to hide your domain contacts and personal data from the internet audience. In the case of legal situations Host Color will disclose to the appropriate authorities, only those who have the right to obtain such information about the owner of the domain.
As a customer, you agree that the fees that you pay for domain registration cannot be recovered from Host Color if your domain is already registered. Registration of web address (domain) is entirely at your own expense, and once registered name cannot be changed.

Upon registration of a domain you agree to the overriding conditions of ICANN and other regional, and national registers. Any violation of any of them can lead to loss of ownership of your domain.
As the owner of the web address you are responsible for its renewal. If the date for the continuation of ownership of a domain is missed, HostColor.com will examine options for returning your property on the domain, but this is not a commitment that will restore your rights to the corresponding name. Upon recovery of the domain (General TLD - COM, NET, ORG, BIZ, INFO, EU, WS, etc.), whose subscription has expired, the customer must pay a redemption fee between €30 and €150.

If you want to transfer your domain from one register to another, including to the system of Host Color or beyond, you are required to make a request at least 21 days before the expiration date of web addresses.
