Nominet Registrar Agreement (RA) Compliance Information

.uk Domain Registration with Intersys

Intersys® is a member of Nominet. All fully managed .uk domains are registered on our Nominet IPS tag, which is: UKINTERSYS.

Intersys typically handles domain registration, DNS changes and hosting arrangements for customers only as part of a wider range of support services. Therefore, Domain Name Registration is handled personally and not online. It can be requested via our support desk or directly with a member of Intersys staff.

If you request the registration of any domain name ending in .uk your attention is drawn to the fact that you must agree not only to our Terms and Conditions (https://intersys.co.uk/legal) but also those of Nominet UK (http://www.nominet.uk/go/terms).

Customer Service Level Agreement for .uk Domain Registration

We provide an SLA to our Support Customers; in the event that you do not have an existing Service Level Agreement (which would take preference), our .uk Domain Services SLA is shown below.

Customers have told us that, for Business Continuity purposes, they prefer domains to always renew unless they tell us otherwise. Therefore, we handle renewal automatically as part of your hosting; we will typically send out invoices after renewal, to the emails to the email address on the account, it is the registrant’s responsibility to make sure their contact details are up to date. Intersys Ltd take no responsibility if your domain renewal fails due to your contact details being incorrect.

If you do not renew your domain before its expiry date, you will have up to 30 days (protected period) to renew the domain name at the original renewal fee. Renewal fee(s) are stated in your IT Support contract. After 30 days your domain will be suspended which means all services will stop and will go into a 60 day grace period which you can still renew your domain name. If the domain name is not renewed, it will be cancelled and deleted from the register after 90 days and made available for resale through a third party registrar.

Data Validation

Intersys® are committed to ensuring customer WHOIS information correctly reflects back to the legal domain owner (Registrant), we do this by keeping an accurate record of the registrants/companies address on the system at all times. Unless an alternative address/information is explicitly defined by the customer at the time of registration, the owner details in the WHOIS are determined by what we have on file on our systems, or, from what the customer defined as their trading address when signing a support agreement with Intersys Ltd.

General Pricing / Key Terms are defined in a customer’s support contract.

Terms and Conditions

Any Order is subject to Intersys’ Terms and Conditions and we do not accept orders from customers with whom we do not have a working relationship. Registrants will typically have a separate Support Agreement, or have placed other orders, which would have provided them opportunity to review these..
