CSC 2.04 FUNCTIONALITY
Overview of Features
Registry shall develop the following features by no later than thirty (30) days following the
Amendment Effective Date. The date such features are made available to the public shall be
mutually agreed by the Parties.
A. CSC Optional Directory
Registry shall develop a directory of CSCs that shall be viewable by the general public containing
information derived from the CSC Application Form (“CSC Directory”). In order to implement the CSC
Directory, the following changes must be made to the CSC Application Form as defined in the
Assignment Guidelines:
§ |
Registry shall add a new section to the CSC Application that provides a high level description of the opt-in directory and “value proposition” to the applicant/content provider. The new section shall also reference via a hotlink the new Registrant Sublicense Agreement which shall contain additional terms and conditions with regards to the CSC Directory Service. A copy of the Registrant Sublicense Agreement is attached as Attachment 3 to the Fourth Amendment. | ||
§ | The Application Form shall also provide an Opt-in check-box for applicants to opt-in to this directory. Only applicants that opt-in shall be eligible to participate in the CSC Directory. | ||
§ | Link to additional information and a longer explanation of the opt-in directory program |
By opting into the CSC Directory, an applicant/Registrant shall consent to the posting of the
following elements contained within its Application Form:
- | CSC | ||
- | Call to Action (eg. Text GQ to 47624) | ||
- | Aggregator | ||
- | Application Provider | ||
- | Description |
The Registrant shall have the right to edit, modify or delete any of its content displayed within
the CSC Directory upon request to the Registry. The Registrant shall also have the right to opt-out
or remove any of its content within the CSC Directory.
As stated in the Registrant Sublicense Agreement, Registry shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to modify, edit or remove any CSC Directory entry. In addition, Registry shall have
the right to refuse the display of any campaign which it deems in its sole discretion is (i)
inappropriate, (ii) too lengthy, or (iii) would not be in the best interests of the CSC Directory.
B. Random CSC Selection Restrictions
Pursuant to the detailed requirements below, Registry shall implement methods and
procedures to reduce the number or CSCs that may be assigned on a random basis, and to ensure
that “premium CSCs” are only to be assigned on a selected basis.
1. “Premium CSCs” are defined as:
(i) any 5 digit CSC that meets any of the following conditions:
• | The CSC contains 4 or more sequential numbers anywhere in the string (i.e., 81234). | ||
• | The CSC contains 2 repeating pairs anywhere in the string (i.e., 53753). | ||
• | The CSC contains 3 or more of the same digit in a row anywhere in the string (i.e. 32000). |
(ii) any 6 digit CSC that meets any of the following conditions:
• | The CSC contains 4 or more sequential numbers anywhere in the string (i.e., 812347). | ||
• | The CSC contains 2 or more repeating pairs anywhere in the string (i.e., 537531). | ||
• | The CSC contains 2 repeating triples in the string (i.e., 254254). | ||
• | The CSC contains 4 or more of the same digit in a row anywhere in the string (i.e. 300006). |
For the purposes of the above, when determining sequential numbers, the number 0 shall be
considered sequential to 1 not 9. For example, the CSCs 50123 and 501236 will be considered
desirable and therefore restricted from random assignment while the codes 57890 and 578906 will
not be restricted from random assignment.
Nothing herein shall prevent the renewal of CSCs that are currently being leased as random CSCs;
provided however, that in the event the CSC is deleted (and not restored), the CSC shall be
removed from the pool of available random CSCs. In addition, the above rules shall not prevent
any of these codes from becoming a Reserved CSC in the event that a Participating Carrier
decides to reserve such CSC.
C. New Search Logic
Registry shall enable the public side website to display the search results based on the
additional criteria set forth below.
1. | Registry shall implement functionality to allow the end user to search which CSCs are available for registration, including those CSCs that have been restricted from the pool of available Random CSCs. | ||
2. | Registry shall allow the following searches: |
i. | Easy to Remember Codes. These are CSCs that contain: |
o | For 5 digit CSCs: |
§ | 4 or more sequential numbers anywhere in the string (i.e., 81234) | ||
§ | 5 reverse sequential numbers anywhere in the string | ||
§ | 2 repeating consecutive pairs anywhere in the string (i.e., 53537). |
§ | 3 or more of the same digit in a row at the beginning or end of the string (i.e. 77775 or 57777). |
o | For 6 digit CSCs: |
§ | 6 sequential numbers. | ||
§ | 6 reverse sequential numbers. |
o | 2 or more repeating pairs if the pair appears 3 times (i.e., 535353) |
§ | 2 triples in the string where there are 2 sets of sequential or nonsequtial repeating numbers (i.e., 444666 or 234234) | ||
§ | 5 or 6 consecutive occurrences of the same number (i.e., 555556 or 555555) |
3. | All search results shall be displayed similarly to the current search results displayed to an applicant requesting to purchase a CSC directly from the search results page upon user login. |
MONTHLY BILLING PROMOTION
CSCA RELEASE 2.05
CSC REQUIREMENTS FOR MONTHLY BILLING
1. | The Monthly Billing feature shall only be available to Registrants who have leased a new code, or renew a currently registered CSC for a period of twelve (12) months. | |
2. | Each participating registrant must agree to the following terms and conditions which shall be attached as an amendment to the “Hard Copy” Registrant Sublicense Agreement set forth in Attachment 4 to this Fourth Amendment. |
(a) | Registrant must be the CSC Applicant for a minimum of twenty-five (25) CSCs and must exercise this monthly billing feature for a minimum of five (5) CSCs. Such CSCs can be new CSCs or may be renewal of existing CSCs under this program provided that it maintains a minimum of five (5) active CSCs in this program and a total of twenty- five (25) CSCs. These minimum numbers may be changed by mutual agreement of the CTIA and Registry. | ||
(b) | All monthly billing payments must be paid by credit or debit card — no exceptions; | ||
(c) | All payments are made monthly in advance. | ||
(d) | In the event that there are insufficient funds or the card is refused, the customer will be notified and will have 72 hours to provide a replacement card number; if this occurs more than once, Registry reserves the right to cancel the customer’s eligibility in the program immediately; | ||
(e) | If the customer defaults on credit/debit card payments, and payment to Registry is refused by the applicable financial institutions, Registry shall have the right to immediately terminate Registrant from this program. Upon such termination, payments of all amounts owed to Registry shall be accelerated and become immediately due and payable to Registry. |

COMMON SHORT CODE LICENSE AGREEMENT
FOURTH AMENDMENT TO
COMMON SHORT CODE LICENSE AGREEMENT
ONLINE REGISTRANT SUBLICENSE AGREEMENT
THIS IS A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN NEUSTAR, INC., THE COMMON SHORT CODE (“CSC”)
REGISTRY OPERATOR (“REGISTRY”), AND “YOU,” THE APPLICANT FOR A LICENSE TO USE CSC(S) IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE TERMS OF THIS SUBLICENSE AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”). PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE MERE
APPLICATION FOR OR REGISTRATION OF A CSC WITH THE REGISTRY DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT A PARTICIPATING
CARRIER WILL ACCEPT OR IMPLEMENT THE CSC OR THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO USE THE CSC AT ALL.
BY SELECTING “I AGREE,” BY USING THE SERVICE, OR BY SIGNIFYING YOUR ACCEPTANCE IN ANY OTHER
WAY, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS, YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO USE THE SERVICE AND YOU MUST DISCONTINUE ANY FURTHER
USE.
1. The
Service. Registry administers a method for assignment of CSCs. CSCs are a string of
numeric characters that are interoperable across communication service providers in the United
States that are participating in CSC services (“Participating Carriers”). The Participating
Carriers and other participating members of the wireless telecommunications industry have appointed
the CTIA — The Wireless
Association® (formerly Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association)
(“CTIA”) to serve as their Common Short Code Administrator and CTIA, acting in that capacity, has
granted Registry a license to assign CSCs in the manner described in this Agreement. Registry makes
this Service available to those seeking to sublicense for the term selected, a CSC. CSCs are
intended for use only in the United States. You may review frequently asked questions regarding the
Service by reviewing the CSC FAOs.
2. Registration, Password and Security. To use the Service and license a CSC, You will be asked to
first create an account and obtain a login name. In addition. You will be asked to create a
password. If any information You provide is inaccurate, incomplete or not current, Registry may
suspend or terminate Your account and access to the Service. You may change such information at any
time by logging into Your account . You are solely responsible for maintaining the
confidentiality of Your login name and password. You must immediately notify Registry of any
unauthorized use of Your login name and You are responsible for any unauthorized activities,
charges and/or liabilities made on or through Your login name until Registry receives such
notification. You may not transfer or lend login names to any other third party.
3.
Privacy. BY AGREEING TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PRIVACY STATEMENT
OF THE CSCA AND GENERALLY DESCRIBE THE COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION, DO NOT APPLY TO
INFORMATION SUBMITTED TO REGISTRY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. In addition, Registry will not use the data
submitted by You in a way incompatible with the purposes of this Agreement. You represent and
warrant that You have provided notice to, and obtained consent from, any third party individuals
whose data You supply to us as part of the Service with regard to: (i) the purposes for which such
third party’s data has been collected, (ii) the intended recipients or categories of recipients of
the third party’s data, (iii) which parts of the third party’s data are obligatory and which parts,
if any, are voluntary; and (iv) how the third party can access and, if necessary, rectify the data
held about them. You further agree to provide such notice and obtain such consent with regard to
any third party data You provide in the future. Neither Registry nor CTIA are responsible for any
consequences resulting from Your failure to provide notice or receive consent from such individuals
nor for Your providing

outdated, incomplete or inaccurate information. In addition to the above, in the event that
You elect to participate in the optional CSC directory service offered by Registry, You hereby
consent to the publication of such information on a directory that may be viewable by members of
the general public.
4. Disclosure of Certain Information. In order for Registry to comply with the rules and policies
for the administration of CSCs (which may be updated from time to time), You consent to the
disclosure by Registry to CTIA or to Participating Carriers, or those acting on behalf of CTIA or
Participating Carriers through an interactive accessible registration database or
otherwise, the Data. In addition, You acknowledge that the Application identifies those fields and
Data that will be publicly disclosed or made available through the Registry’s website or otherwise.
You further consent to the disclosure of any Data or other information to any governmental agency
upon receipt of lawful process or in compliance with any law, or to protect the rights or property
of Registry, CTIA, Participating Carriers, or any of their customers or users. Further, in the
event that You agree to participate in the optional CSC directory service, and indicate such
acceptance in your CSC application or otherwise, You hereby consent to the publication of such
required data in the CSC directory. You acknowledge and agree that such data may be viewable by
members of the general public.
5. The Application.
a. CSC. In order to apply for a CSC through the Service, You must complete the Registry’s
application form for each CSC that You would like to register and pay the requisite fees set forth
in Section 8 below. For each application, the person/entity listed in the “Content Provider
details” must be the actual Content Provider (as defined above). Once You have submitted a
completed application, Registry will send an email confirming it has received Your application. You
must retain the confirmation e-mail for each application You submit. You also may review detailed
instructions to complete and submit an application by reviewing Registry’s INSTRUCTIONS .
You agree to: (1) provide certain true, current, complete and accurate information during the
application process; and (2) maintain and update such information according to Registry’s
modification procedures as needed to keep it current, complete and accurate.
b. Types of CSCs. All applications for CSCs are accepted by Registry on a first-come, first-served
basis. Unless You specify a specific CSC in Your application, once Your application is deemed to be
complete by the Registry, You will be assigned a CSC on a random
basis from the pool of available
CSCs (a “Random CSC”). A “Selected CSC” shall mean any CSC that You specifically request from
Registry. Selected CSCs shall also be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis from the pool of
available CSCs. Registry makes no representation that any specific CSC will be available upon
request. You acknowledge and agree that submission of a CSC application or otherwise meeting the
eligibility requirements for registration does not guarantee that Your application will be
approved, that You will ultimately be the sublicensee of a particular CSC, or that any
Participating Carrier will accept, implement or maintain a sublicensed CSC.
c. Right of Refusal. Registry reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse to register any
Random or Selected CSC. YOU AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL REGISTRATION FEES PAID TO REGISTRY SHALL NOT BE
REFUNDABLE. You agree that neither Registry nor CTIA shall be liable
for any losses or damages that
may result from a refusal to register any CSC. You acknowledge and agree that neither Registry nor
CTIA shall be liable to You or any other party in connection with claims, damages, losses, expenses
or costs incurred or suffered by You as a result of actions taken or not taken by Participating
Carriers.
d. Term of CSCs. All CSCs, whether Selected or Random, shall be available for terms of three (3),
Fourth Amendment to Common Short Code License Agreement (final)

Page 8 of 28
six (6) and twelve (12) months and may be renewed by You for additional three (3), six (6)
and twelve (12) month periods.
e. Activating Your CSC. REGISTERING A CSC IN NO WAY GUARANTEES YOU THE RIGHT TO SEND OR
RECEIVE COMMUNICATIONS USING YOUR CSC OR THE RIGHT TO USE THE CSC IN ANY OTHER MANNER. IN ORDER TO
ACTIVATE YOUR CSC, YOU MUST OBTAIN APPROVAL FROM EACH INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPATING CARRIER IN WHICH YOU
WOULD LIKE TO TRANSMIT CONTENT. THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ALL SUCH ARRANGEMENTS WITH INDIVIDUAL
PARTICIPATING CARRIERS ARE AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF THAT PARTICIPATING CARRIER AND SHALL NOT IN
ANY WAY INVOLVE REGISTRY. IN ADDITION, INITIAL APPROVAL OF REGISTRATION OF A CSC IN NO WAY
GUARANTEES THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO RETAIN SUCH CSC PAST THE CURRENT TERM OF YOUR REGISTRATION.
f. Expiration Grace Period. In the event that Your CSC expires, and has not been renewed in
accordance with this Agreement, You may be given an additional thirty (30) day grace period, at the
sole discretion of the Registry, in which to re-register such CSC. In the event you do not re
register such CSC within that period, this Agreement shall be terminated, and the CSC may be made
available to the general public after an appropriate aging period.
g. Opt-in/Opt-Out of CSC Programs. In addition to the prohibitions of the transmission of
unsolicited messages elsewhere in this Agreement, each individual program or application
administered to an end user through a CSC must be offered on an “opt-in basis,” This may be
achieved through the submission of an MO message to the program or registering to receive messages
through a website operated by the Registrant. In addition, each Registrant must also offer a
convenient, easy-to-use and conspicuous method for an end user to opt-out any individual program or
application administered through a CSC.
h. No Assignment or Transfer of the CSC. You may not transfer or assign Your sublicense to any CSC
or any of Your rights or obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, You may
assign Your sublicense to a CSC in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of Your
assets to a third party successor in interest.
i. Representations. You agree that You may access and use the Service for lawful purposes only and
that You are solely responsible for the knowledge and adherence to this Agreement, any and all
laws, statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to Your use of the Service and a CSC, including
without limitation laws related to intellectual property, defamation, publicity and privacy. You
represent that (i) You intend to use and will use each sublicensed CSC for the purpose set forth in
Your application and not for the purpose of blocking another party
from using a CSC, (ii) neither
Your registration nor use of the any sublicensed CSC nor the manner in which You intend to use such
CSC will directly or indirectly infringe or violate the legal rights of a third party, and (iii)
You have all requisite power and due authority to execute this Agreement and to perform Your
obligations hereunder. You agree that You will not (i) use a CSC in violation of this Agreement;
(ii) use a CSC to commit a criminal offense or to encourage conduct that would constitute a
criminal offense or give rise to a civil liability, or otherwise violate any local, state, Federal
or international law or regulation; (iii) use a CSC to upload or otherwise transmit any content
that you do not have a right to transmit under any law or contractual or fiduciary duty; (iv)
interfere or infringe with any trademark or proprietary rights of any other party; (v) interfere
with the ability of other users to access or use the Service; (vi) claim a relationship with or to
speak for any individual, business, association, institution or other organization for which You
are not authorized to claim such a relationship; (vii) interfere with or disrupt the Service or
servers or networks connected to the Service, or disobey any requirements, procedures, policies or
regulations of networks connected to the Service; or (viii) reproduce, duplicate, copy, use,
distribute, sell, resell or otherwise exploit for

any commercial purposes any portion of the Service.
j. BY REGISTERING A CSC, YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR USE OF SUCH CSC IS AND SHALL REMAIN
IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ABOVE. AS SUCH, YOUR CSC MAY BE SUBJECT TO FUTURE CANCELLATION, DELETION
AND/OR REMOVAL IN THE EVENT THAT YOUR USE OF THE CSC IS DETERMINED TO BE IN VIOLATION OF THIS
AGREEMENT.
k. CSC Opt-in Directory. Registry may elect to offer a CSC directory that provides
members of the general public with certain information about Your CSC and any programs or campaigns
offered through the CSC. Participation in the CSC directory service is optional. You shall have
the right to edit, modify or delete any of Your content displayed within the CSC Directory upon
request to the Registry. You shall also have the right to opt-out or remove any of Your content
within the CSC Directory. You understand that You, and not Registry, are entirely responsible for
all content contained within the CSC directory. Registry does not control the content posted via
the CSC directory and, as such, does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such
information. Under no circumstances shall Registry be liable in any way for any content, including,
but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any content, or any loss or damage or any kind
incurred as a result of the use of any content posted in the CSC directory. You acknowledge that
Registry may or may not pre-screen content contained within the CSC directory, but that Registry
and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to
pre-screen, refuse, edit or move any such content that is available through the CSC directory
service. Without limiting the foregoing, Registry shall have the right to remove or edit any
content that violates this Agreement. With respect to any content you submit or make available for
inclusion in the CSC directory, You provide Registry with a worldwide, royalty-free and
non-exclusive license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt and publicly display such
content in the CSC directory during the term of Your participating in the CSC directory service.
6. Registry Reservation. Registry reserves the right, but does not assume the obligation, to
strictly enforce this Agreement by, without limitation, issuing warnings, suspending or terminating
Service prior to actively investigating violations and prosecuting them in any court or appropriate
venue. Registry may access, use and disclose transaction information about Your use of the Service,
to the extent permitted by law, in order to comply with the law (e.g., a lawful subpoena); to
enforce or apply this Agreement; to initiate, render, bill, and collect for the Services; to
protect its rights or property; or to protect users of the Services from fraudulent, abusive, or
unlawful use of, the Service. INDIRECT OR ATTEMPTED VIOLATIONS OF THIS POLICY OR ANY RELATED
POLICY, GUIDELINE OR AGREEMENT, AND ACTUAL OR ATTEMPTED VIOLATIONS BY
A THIRD PARTY ON YOUR BEHALF
SHALL BE CONSIDERED VIOLATIONS OF THIS POLICY BY YOU. In addition, Registry reserves the right to
deny, cancel, transfer or otherwise make unavailable any CSC that it deems necessary, in its sole
discretion, (1) to protect the integrity and stability of the Service; (2) to comply with any
applicable laws, government rules, policies or requirements, requests of law enforcement, in
compliance with any dispute resolution process; (3) to avoid any liability, civil or criminal, on
the part of Registry, as well as its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors,
representatives, employees, and stockholders; (4) for violations of any agreement between Registry
and any third party related to the Service; (5) to correct mistakes made by Registry, in connection
with a CSC registration.
7. Fees. As consideration for the Service, You agree to pay Registry a non-refundable fee of $1000
per month for each “Selected CSC” and $500 per month for each “Random CSC,” Such fees are subject
to change at any time by Registry, in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the fees in
effect at the time of submission of Your application for a CSC, or at the time of renewal of Your
CSC registration, will remain in effect with respect to such CSC registration for the period of
such initial term or renewal term, as applicable. All fees for the entirety of the term shall be
due and
Fourth Amendment to Common Short Code License Agreement (final)
March 21, 2007
Page 10 of 28
March 21, 2007
Page 10 of 28
payable before assignment or renewal of the CSC. Registry may take all remedies to collect
fees owed. In the event that You dispute any fee, or take any action to initiate a credit card
chargeback for any of the fees described above, such action may result in Your sublicense of a CSC
being suspended until such time as the dispute is resolved, at which time, depending on the outcome
of the dispute, the sublicense of the CSC may be reinstated or cancelled, whichever applicable. In
addition to the foregoing fees, You are responsible for all taxes associated with such fees.
8. Ownership. You acknowledge that all right, title and interest in and to the database of CSCs,
each of the CSCs themselves, the underlying technology used in connection with the Service, the CSC
directory, and all software, material, information, communications, text, graphics, links,
electronic art, animations, audio, video, photos, and other data (collectively, the “Intellectual
Property”) available within the Service are the exclusive property of either the Registry or, in
some instances, of licensors and/or third-party providers from whom Registry has obtained a license
to use their Intellectual Property. You acknowledge that although you
have a sublicense to use CSCs
for the duration of the term, you have no proprietary ownership interest in the CSCs. You agree
that You will not take any action that would cause You to acquire any trademark, trade name or
trade dress rights in the CSC. You acknowledge and agree that the registration of a CSC does not
confer immunity from objection to either the registration or use of the CSC by a third party.
Neither Registry, nor CTIA, nor any Participating Carrier is responsible in any way for any
conflict or dispute with or any actual or threatened claim against You relating to a CSC, including
without limitation a claim that any use of a CSC interferes with or infringes a registered or
unregistered trademark, trade name, service xxxx or rights relating to a name or other identifying
indicium of a third party or any other intellectual property rights or proprietary rights
(including without limitation rights of publicity) of a third party or relating to the defamation
or interference with the right of privacy of any third party. Except as expressly authorized by
Registry or as may be posted on the Service, You may not copy, reproduce, publish, distribute,
modify, create derivative works of, rent, lease, sell, transfer, display, transmit, compile or
collect in a database, or in any manner commercially exploit any part of the Intellectual Property
or the Service, in whole or in part. You may not store any significant portion of any Intellectual
Property or the Service owned by, or licensed to Registry in any form, whether archival files,
computer-readable files, or any other medium. You also may not “mirror” any Intellectual Property
or the Service on any other server.

accessibility via the Internet. Registry does not endorse products, services, or information
provided by such sites. As such, Registry shall not be responsible or liable, directly or
indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with, use or
reliance on any content, goods or services available on or through any other site. Further, the

SUBCONTRACTORS OR AGENTS WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR A CSC WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE; NOR
DO THEY MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICE OR A
CSC OR AS TO THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR CONTENT WITHIN THE SERVICE. THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON
AN “AS IS, “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON- INFRINGEMENT. TESTING AND APPROVAL OF A CSC APPLICATION DOES NOT ENSURE
THAT IT WILL RUN WITHOUT ERROR OR THAT IT WILL NOT OTHERWISE CAUSE HARM TO YOU, YOUR CUSTOMERS OR
END USERS OR PARTICIPATING CARRIERS. IN NO EVENT WILL REGISTRY, CTIA, NOR EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE
PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES,
SUBCONTRACTORS AND AGENTS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), ARISING OUT YOUR USE
OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE OR A CSC, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF
REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOST BUSINESS, LOST DATA, COMPUTER FAILURE OR
MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER DAMAGES OR LOSSES THAT RESULT FROM MISTAKES, INACCURATELY ENTERED
DATA, UNAUTHORIZED USE, OMISSIONS, INTERRUPTIONS, ERRORS, DEFECTS, DELAYS IN OPERATION, OR ANY
FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, WHETHER OR NOT LIMITED TO ACTS OF GOD,
COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE, THEFT,
DESTRUCTION OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO INSTITUTIONS RECORDS, PROGRAMS OR SERVICES. YOU AGREE THAT
THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF RISK. IN NO EVENT,
SHALL REGISTRY, CTIA, AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS,
OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, SUBCONTRACTORS AND AGENTS BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY
AMOUNT EXCEEDING THE AMOUNT OF FEES PAID BY YOU FOR A CSC REGISTRATION. THIS PROVISION SHALL
SURVIVE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
14. Indemnification. You
agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Registry, CTIA, and
each of their respective parents, subsidiaries, shareholders, members, officers, directors,
employees, affiliates and agents (each an “Indemnified Party”) from any claim or demand, including
reasonable attorney’s fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of or relating to (a)
this Agreement or the breach of Your warranties, representations and obligations under this
Agreement, (b) the Service, CSC or Your use or nonuse of such Service or CSC, (c) any Intellectual
property or other proprietary right (including without limitation right of publicity) or right of
privacy of any person or entity, (d) any content transmitted or received through the CSC, (e) a
failure or inability of any end user to send or receive communications through Your CSC, (f) a

directory, if applicable. When an Indemnified Party is threatened with suit or sued by a
third party, the Indemnified Party may seek written assurances from You concerning Your promise to
indemnify the Indemnified Party; Your failure to provide those assurances may be considered by the
Indemnified Party to be a material breach of this Agreement. The Indemnified Party shall have the
right to participate in any defense by You of a third-party claim related to Your use of any CSC or
this Service, with counsel of its choice at its own expense. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably
cooperate in the defense at Your request and expense. You shall have sole responsibility to defend
the Indemnified Party against any claim, but You must receive the Indemnified Party’s prior written
consent regarding any related settlement. The terms of this paragraph will survive any termination
or cancellation of this Agreement.
15. Modifications to the Service. Registry reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue,
temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree
that Registry will not be liable to You or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or
discontinuation of the Services.

terminates Your use of a CSC for any reason. Registry, in its sole discretion, will determine
whether or not Your conduct is consistent with this Agreement and any
operating rules or policies.
c. Effect of Termination.
Unless otherwise specified in writing by Registry, You will not receive
any refund for payments already made by You as of the date of
termination. If termination of this
Agreement is due to Your default hereunder, You shall bear all costs of such termination, including
any reasonable costs Registry incurs in closing Your account. You agree to pay any and all costs
incurred by Registry in enforcing Your compliance with this Section. You agree that upon
termination or discontinuance for any reason, Registry may delete all information related to You on
the Service, if applicable.

commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) then obtaining, by
a panel of three arbitrators. Judgment upon the award of the Arbitrators may be entered by any
court of competent jurisdiction over the parties on the subject matter of this Agreement. Each
party shall have the right to appoint one arbitrator from the list of arbitrators supplied to the
parties by the AAA, and the two arbitrators so appointed shall appoint the third. The place of
arbitration shall be the County of Loudoun, VA., U.S.A. The language of the arbitration shall be in

of the
Fourth Amendment to Common Short Code License Agreement (final)

Commonwealth of Virginia, without reference to the Convention on Contracts for the
International Sale of Goods. Except as precluded by the United Nations Convention on the
Recognition and Enforcements of Foreign Arbitral Awards, the internal procedural and substantive
laws of Virginia and the United States Federal Arbitration Act shall govern all questions of
arbitral procedure, arbitral review, scope of arbitral authority, and arbitral enforcement. The
parties agree that the award of the arbitrators shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between them
regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues or accountings presented or pled to the arbitrators,
that the award shall be made and shall be promptly payable in U.S. dollars, free of any tax,
deduction or offset, and that any costs, fees or taxes instant to enforcing the award shall, to the
maximum extent permitted by law, be charged against the party resisting such enforcement. No claim
may be submitted by a party to arbitration in accordance with this Section 17 unless notified by
the other party within one (1) year of the date on which the submitting party first knew or should
have known of the existence of the facts indicating the existence of such dispute.
18. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be deemed in default hereunder, nor shall it hold the other
party responsible for, any cessation, interruption or delay in the performance of its obligations
hereunder due to earthquake, flood, fire, storm, natural disaster, act of God, war, terrorism,
armed conflict, labor strike, lockout, or boycott, provided that the party relying upon this
section (i) shall have given the other party written notice thereof promptly and, in any event,
within five (5) days of discovery thereof and (ii) shall take all steps reasonably necessary under
the circumstances to mitigate the effects of the force majeure event upon which such notice is
based; provided further, that in the event a force majeure event described in this Section extends
for a period in excess of thirty (30) days in the aggregate, Registry may immediately terminate
this Agreement.
19. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its principles of conflicts of law. Any such action
shall take place in the County of Fairfax in the Commonwealth of
Virginia.
20. Changes to this Agreement. Registry reserves the right to modify this Agreement at any time and
from time to time. Any such revision or change will be binding and effective upon sending
notification to You by e-mail or United States mail. If You do not agree with any revision to the
Agreement, You may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing Registry with notice. Your
notice of termination will be effective on receipt and processing by Registry. Any fees paid by You
if You terminate this Agreement are nonrefundable, but You will not incur any additional fees. By
continuing to use the Service after any revision to this Agreement, You agree to abide by and be
bound by any such revisions or changes.
21. Assignment of Agreement. Except as otherwise set forth herein, Your rights under this Agreement
are not assignable or transferable. Any attempt by Your creditors to obtain an interest in Your
rights under this Agreement, whether by attachment, levy, garnishment or otherwise, renders this
Agreement voidable at Registry’s option. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon Registry’s successors and assigns.
22. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be unenforceable or
invalid under any applicable law or be so held by applicable court
decision, such unenforceability
or invalidity shall not render this Agreement unenforceable or invalid as a whole, and, in such
event, such provision shall be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of
such provision within the limits of applicable law or applicable
court decision.
23. Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing
and signed by an authorized representative of Registry. The failure of a party, at any time or from
time to time, to require performance of any obligations of the other party hereunder shall not
affect
Fourth Amendment to Common Short Code License Agreement (final)

its right to enforce any provision of this Agreement at a subsequent time, and the waiver of
any rights arising out of any breach shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights arising out
of any prior or subsequent breach.

regarding the subject matter, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, whether
written or oral, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

1. The Service. Registry administers a method for assignment of CSCs. CSCs are a
string of numeric characters that are interoperable across communication service providers in
the United States that are participating in CSC services (“Participating Carriers”). The
Participating Carriers and other participating members of the wireless telecommunications
industry have appointed the CTIA — The Wireless Association® (formerly Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association) (“CTIA”) to serve as their Common Short Code
Administrator and CTIA, acting in that capacity, has granted Registry a license to assign CSCs
in the manner described in this Agreement. Registry makes this Service available to those
seeking to sublicense for the term selected, a CSC. CSCs are intended for use only in the
United States. You may review frequently asked questions regarding the Service by reviewing
the CSC FAQs .
2. Registration, Password and Security. To use the Service and license a CSC, an account will
be created for You and Registry shall submit to you a login name and initial password. You
will be able to modify the password at any time. If any information You provide is inaccurate,
incomplete or not current, Registry may suspend or terminate Your account and access to the
Service. You may change such information at any time by logging into Your account. You
are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of Your login name and password.
You must immediately notify Registry of any unauthorized use of Your login name and You are
responsible for any unauthorized
Fourth Amendment to Common Short Code License Agreement (final)

activities, charges and/or liabilities made on or through Your login name until Registry
receives such notification. You may not transfer or lend login names to any other third party.
3. Privacy. BY AGREEING TO
THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PRIVACY STATEMENT
OF THE CSCA AND GENERALLY DESCRIBE THE COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION, DO NOT APPLY TO
INFORMATION SUBMITTED TO REGISTRY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. In addition, Registry will not use the data
submitted by You in a way incompatible with the purposes of this Agreement. You represent and
warrant that You have provided notice to, and obtained consent from, any third party individuals
whose data You supply to us as part of the Service with regard to: (i) the purposes for which such
third party’s data has been collected, (ii) the intended recipients or categories of recipients of
the third party’s data, (iii) which parts of the third party’s data are obligatory and which parts,
if any, are voluntary; and (iv) how the third party can access and, if necessary, rectify the data
held about them. You further agree to provide such notice and obtain such consent with regard to
any third party data You provide in the future. Neither Registry nor CTIA are responsible for any
consequences resulting from Your failure to provide notice or receive consent from such individuals
nor for Your providing outdated, incomplete or inaccurate information. In addition to the above, in
the event that You elect to participate in the optional CSC directory service offered by Registry,
You hereby consent to the publication of such information on a directory that may be viewable by
members of the general public.
4. Disclosure of Certain Information. In order for Registry to comply with the rules and policies
for the administration of CSCs (which may be updated from time to time), You consent to the
disclosure by Registry to CTIA or to Participating Carriers, or those acting on behalf of CTIA or
Participating Carriers, through an interactive accessible registration database or otherwise, the
Data. In addition, You acknowledge that the Application identifies those fields and Data that will
be publicly disclosed or made available through the Registry’s website or otherwise. You further
consent to the disclosure of any Data or other information to any governmental agency upon receipt
of lawful process or in compliance with any law, or to protect the rights or property of Registry,
CTIA, Participating Carriers, or any of their customers or users. Further, in the event that You
agree to participate in the optional CSC directory service, and indicate such acceptance in your
CSC application or otherwise, You hereby consent to the publication of such required data in the
CSC directory. You acknowledge and agree that such data may be viewable by members of the general
public.
5. The Application.
a. CSC. In order to apply for a CSC through the Service, You must complete the Registry’s
application form, attached hereto as Exhibit 1, for each CSC that You would like to
register and pay the requisite fees set forth in Section 8 below. For each application, the
person/entity listed in the “Content Provider details” must be the actual Content Provider (as
defined above). Once You have submitted a completed application, Registry will send an email
confirming it has received Your application. You must retain the confirmation e-mail for each
application You submit. You also may review detailed instructions to complete and submit an
application by reviewing Registry’s INSTRUCTIONS. You agree to: (1) provide certain true,
current, complete and accurate information during the application process; and (2) maintain and
update such information according to Registry’s modification procedures as needed to keep it
current, complete and accurate.
b. Types of CSCs. All applications for CSCs are accepted by Registry on a first-come, first-served
basis. Unless You specify a specific CSC in Your application, once Your application is deemed to be
complete by the Registry, You will be assigned a CSC on a random basis from the pool of available
Fourth Amendment to Common Short Code License Agreement (final)
March 21, 2007
Page 17 of 28
March 21, 2007
Page 17 of 28
CSCs (a “Random CSC”). A “Selected CSC” shall mean any CSC that You specifically request
from Registry. Selected CSCs shall also be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis from the
pool of available CSCs. Registry makes no representation that any specific CSC will be available
upon request. You acknowledge and agree that submission of a CSC application or otherwise meeting
the eligibility requirements for registration does not guarantee that Your application will be
approved, that You will ultimately be the sublicensee of a particular CSC, or that any
Participating Carrier will accept, implement or maintain a sublicensed CSC.
c. Right of Refusal. Registry reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse to register any
Random or Selected CSC, YOU AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL REGISTRATION FEES PAID TO REGISTRY SHALL NOT BE
REFUNDABLE. You agree that neither Registry nor CTIA shall be liable for any losses or damages that
may result from a refusal to register any CSC. You acknowledge and agree that neither Registry nor
CTIA shall be liable to You or any other party in connection with claims, damages, losses, expenses
or costs incurred or suffered by You as a result of actions taken or not taken by Participating
Carriers.
d. Term of CSCs. All CSCs, whether Selected or Random, shall be available for terms of three (3),
six (6) and twelve (12) months and may be renewed by You for additional three (3), six (6) and
twelve (12) month periods.
e. Activating Your CSC. REGISTERING A CSC IN NO WAY GUARANTEES YOU THE RIGHT TO SEND OR
RECEIVE COMMUNICATIONS USING YOUR CSC OR THE RIGHT TO USE THE CSC IN ANY OTHER MANNER. IN ORDER TO
ACTIVATE YOUR CSC, YOU MUST OBTAIN APPROVAL FROM EACH INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPATING CARRIER IN WHICH YOU
WOULD LIKE TO TRANSMIT CONTENT. THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ALL SUCH ARRANGEMENTS WITH INDIVIDUAL
PARTICIPATING CARRIERS ARE AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF THAT PARTICIPATING CARRIER AND SHALL NOT IN
ANY WAY INVOLVE REGISTRY. IN ADDITION, INITIAL APPROVAL OF REGISTRATION OF A CSC IN NO WAY
GUARANTEES THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO RETAIN SUCH CSC PAST THE CURRENT TERM OF YOUR REGISTRATION.
f. Expiration Grace Period. In the event that Your CSC expires, and has not been renewed in
accordance with this Agreement, You may be given an additional thirty (30) day grace period, at the
sole discretion of the Registry, in which to re-register such CSC. In the event you do not re-register such CSC within that period, this Agreement shall be terminated, and the CSC may be made
available to the general public after an appropriate aging period.
g. Opt-in/Opt-Out of CSC Programs. In addition to the prohibitions of the transmission of
unsolicited messages elsewhere in this Agreement, each individual program or application
administered to an end user through a CSC must be offered on an “opt-in basis.” This may be
achieved through the submission of an MO message to the program or registering to receive messages
through a website operated by the Registrant. In addition, each Registrant must also offer a
convenient, easy-to-use and conspicuous method for an end user to
opt-out any individual program
or application administered through a CSC.
h. No Assignment or Transfer of the CSC. You may not transfer or assign Your sublicense to any CSC
or any of Your rights or obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, You may
assign Your sublicense to a CSC in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of Your
assets to a third party successor in interest.
i. Representations. You agree that You may access and use the Service for lawful purposes only and
that You are solely responsible for the knowledge and adherence to this Agreement, any and all
laws, statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to Your use of the Service and a CSC, including
Fourth Amendment to Common Short Code License Agreement (final)
March 21, 2007

March 21, 2007
Page 18 of 28
without limitation laws related to intellectual property, defamation, publicity and privacy.
You represent that (I) You intend to use and will use each sublicensed CSC for the purpose set
forth in Your application and not for the purpose of blocking another party from using a CSC, (ii)
neither Your registration nor use of the any sublicensed CSC nor the manner in which You intend to
use such CSC will directly or indirectly infringe or violate the legal rights of a third party, and
(iii) You have all requisite power and due authority to execute this Agreement and to perform Your
obligations hereunder. You agree that You will not (i) use a CSC in violation of this Agreement;
(ii) use a CSC to commit a criminal offense or to encourage conduct that would constitute a
criminal offense or give rise to a civil liability, or otherwise violate any local, state, Federal
or international law or regulation; (iii) use a CSC to upload or otherwise transmit any content
that You do not have a right to transmit under any law or contractual or fiduciary duty; (iv)
interfere or infringe with any trademark or proprietary rights of any other party; (v) interfere
with the ability of other users to access or use the Service; (vi) claim a relationship with or to
speak for any individual, business, association, institution or other organization for which You
are not authorized to claim such a relationship; (vii) interfere with or disrupt the Service or
servers or networks connected to the Service, or disobey any requirements, procedures, policies or
regulations of networks connected to the Service; or (viii) reproduce, duplicate, copy, use,
distribute, sell, resell or otherwise exploit for any commercial purposes any portion of the
Service.
j. BY REGISTERING A CSC, YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR USE OF SUCH CSC IS AND SHALL REMAIN
IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ABOVE, AS SUCH, YOUR CSC MAY BE SUBJECT TO FUTURE CANCELLATION, DELETION
AND/OR REMOVAL IN THE EVENT THAT YOUR USE OF THE CSC IS DETERMINED TO BE IN VIOLATION OF THIS
AGREEMENT.
k. CSC
Opt-in Directory. Registry may elect to offer a CSC directory, that provides
members of the general public with certain information about Your CSC and any programs or campaigns
offered through the CSC. Participation in the CSC directory service is optional. You shall have
the right to edit, modify or delete any of Your content displayed within the CSC Directory upon
request to the Registry. You shall also have the right to opt-out or remove any of Your content
within the CSC Directory. You understand that You, and not Registry, are entirely responsible for
all content contained within the CSC directory. Registry does not control the content posted via
the CSC directory and, as such, does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such
information. Under no circumstances shall Registry be liable in any way for any content, including,
but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any content, or any loss or damage or any kind
incurred as a result of the use of any content posted in the CSC directory. You acknowledge that
Registry may or may not pre-screen content contained within the CSC directory, but that Registry
and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to
pre-screen, refuse, edit or move any such content that is available through the CSC directory
service. Without limiting the foregoing, Registry shall have the right to remove or edit any
content that violates this Agreement. With respect to any content you submit or make available for
inclusion in the CSC directory, You provide Registry with a worldwide, royalty-free and
non-exclusive license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt and publicly display such
content in the CSC directory during the term of Your participating in the CSC directory service.
6. Registry Reservation. Registry reserves the right, but does not assume the obligation, to
strictly enforce this Agreement by, without limitation, issuing warnings, suspending or terminating
Service prior to actively investigating violations and prosecuting them in any court or appropriate
venue. Registry may access, use and disclose transaction information about Your use of the Service,
to the extent permitted by law, in order to comply with the law (e.g., a lawful subpoena); to
enforce or apply this Agreement; to initiate, render, bill, and collect for the Services; to
protect its rights or property; or to protect users of the Services from fraudulent, abusive, or
unlawful use of, the Service. INDIRECT OR ATTEMPTED VIOLATIONS OF THIS POLICY OR ANY RELATED
POLICY,
Fourth Amendment to Common Short Code License Agreement (final)
March 21, 2007
Page 19 of 28
March 21, 2007
Page 19 of 28
GUIDELINE OR AGREEMENT, AND ACTUAL OR ATTEMPTED VIOLATIONS BY A THIRD PARTY ON YOUR BEHALF
SHALL BE CONSIDERED VIOLATIONS OF THIS POLICY BY YOU. In addition, Registry reserves the right to
deny, cancel, transfer or otherwise make unavailable any CSC that it deems necessary, in its sole
discretion, (1) to protect the integrity and stability of the Service; (2) to comply with any
applicable laws, government rules, policies or requirements, requests of law enforcement, in
compliance with any dispute resolution process; (3) to avoid any liability, civil or criminal, on
the part of Registry, as well as its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors,
representatives, employees, and stockholders; (4) for violations of any agreement between Registry
and any third party related to the Service; (5) to correct mistakes made by Registry, in connection
with a CSC registration.
7. Fees. As consideration for the Service, You agree to pay Registry a non-refundable fee of $1000
per month for each “Selected CSC” and $500 per month for each “Random CSC.” Such fees are subject
to change at any time by Registry, in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the fees in
effect at the time of submission of Your application for a CSC, or at the time of renewal of Your
CSC registration, will remain in effect with respect to such CSC registration for the period of
such initial term or renewal term, as applicable. All fees for the entirety of the term shall be
due and payable before assignment or renewal of the CSC. Registry may take all remedies to collect
fees owed. In the event that You dispute any fee, or take any action to initiate a credit card
chargeback for any of the fees described above, such action may result in Your sublicense of a CSC
being suspended until such time as the dispute is resolved, at which time, depending on the outcome
of the dispute, the sublicense of the CSC may be reinstated or cancelled, whichever applicable. In
addition to the foregoing fees, You are responsible for all taxes associated with such fees.
8. Ownership. You acknowledge that all right, title and interest in and to the database of CSCs,
each of the CSCs themselves, the underlying technology used in connection with the Service, the CSC
directory, and all software, material, information, communications, text, graphics, links,
electronic art, animations, audio, video, photos, and other data (collectively, the “Intellectual
Property”) available within the Service are the exclusive property of either the Registry or, in
some instances, of licensors and/or third-party providers from whom Registry has obtained a license
to use their Intellectual Property. You acknowledge that although you have a sublicense to use CSCs
for the duration of the term, you have no proprietary ownership interest in the CSCs. You agree
that You will not take any action that would cause You to acquire any trademark, trade name or
trade dress rights in the CSC. You acknowledge and agree that the
registration of a CSC does not
confer immunity from objection to either the registration or use of the CSC by a third party.
Neither Registry, nor CTIA, nor any Participating Carrier is responsible in any way for any
conflict or dispute with or any actual or threatened claim against You relating to a CSC, including
without limitation a claim that any use of a CSC interferes with or infringes a registered or
unregistered trademark, trade name, service xxxx or rights relating to a name or other identifying
indicium of a third party or any other intellectual property rights or proprietary rights
(including without limitation rights of publicity) of a third party or relating to the defamation
or interference with the right of privacy of any third party. Except as expressly authorized by
Registry or as may be posted on the Service, You may not copy, reproduce, publish, distribute,
modify, create derivative works of, rent, lease, sell, transfer, display, transmit, compile or
collect in a database, or in any manner commercially exploit any part of the Intellectual Property
or the Service, in whole or in part. You may not store any significant portion of any Intellectual
Property or the Service owned by, or licensed to Registry in any form, whether archival files,
computer-readable files, or any other medium. You also may not “mirror” any Intellectual Property
or the Service on any other server.
9. Links. Some links on Registry’s Web site lead to sites posted by independent site owners.
Because Registry does not have control over these sites, it is not responsible for such sites’
accessibility via the Internet. Registry does not endorse products, services, or information
provided
Fourth Amendment to Common Short Code License Agreement (final)

by such sites. As such, Registry shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly,
for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with, use or reliance on
any content, goods or services available on or through any other site. Further, the inclusion of
these links does not imply that the other sites have given permission
for inclusion of these links,
or that there is any relationship between Registry and the linked sites.
10. Trademark Notice. CTIA®, CTIA logos, NeuStar®, NeuStar logos, their taglines and the look, feel
and trade dress of the Service are the exclusive trademarks, service marks, trade dress and logos
of CTIA — The Wireless Association® and NeuStar, Inc. respectively. All other trademarks, service
marks, trade dress, and logos used on the Service are the trademarks, service marks, trade dress,
and logos of their respective owners.
11. Designated Agent. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act, signed into law on October 28, 1998,
amended the copyright law to provide limitations for service provider liability relating to
material online. In compliance with such Act, Registry has a Designated Agent to receive notice of

time to time, to require performance of any obligations of the other party hereunder shall not
