dot rocks question

[Alice Wonder Miscreations]

Hi,

Some of the [cc|g]TLDs have restrictions on what type of websites can be used with the TLD.

This can usually be found by visiting www [dot] nic [dot] tld where there usually is information about the TLD as well as policy stuff including content restrictions if there are any.

When I visit www [dot] nic [dot] rocks I get redirected to rightside [dot] co [slash] about [slash] top-level-domains [slash] rocks [slash]

Instead of a useful information page, I get a marketing page. And I can't find any kind of policy statement about what it is okay to do with the domains.

They do have a ToS at rightside [dot] co [slash] legal [slash] terms-conditions [slash] but that looks a ToS for website usage, not domain policy.

I e-mailed them asking and thus far have not received a response.

Does anyone know where their policy page is? I can't find it on their bells and whistle designed site.

Thank you.

Found it - http://rightside.co/fileadmin/downloads/policies/Rightside_Acceptable_Use_Policy.pdf

This part bothers me:

``You agree that Rightside, in its sole discretion, may modify this Acceptable Use Policy. We will post any such revised policy on our Web site at least thirty (30) calendar days before it becomes effective. Use of the Rightside services after the posting period constitutes acceptance of the modification.''

Basically they are saying they have the right to modify the use policy for a domain you registered and your only option if you object is to abandon the domain you paid for and developed.

That's not how contracts work where I come from. I suspect that if they tried to enforce it in court, that failure to stop using what you paid for constitutes agreement, they would lose.

But I'm not a lawyer.
