To use Domain Parking, the User must forward their Domain to a Nameserver specified by WTI and enter the Domain in their WTI account. As the registered owner of the Domain(s), the User is solely responsible for any content directly or indirectly displayed by directing the domain to WTI's Services.

In addition, should User receive notice from a third party regarding their use of WTI's Domain Parking Service, the User is obligated to immediately cease their use of the Domain Parking Service for the respective Domain and contact WTI and provide any relevant information related to such notice.

 

Likewise, Users who utilize the Domain Parking Service are obligated and solely responsible for compliance with all relevant international regulations, including, but not limited to, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) regarding visitors to User’s Domains parked with the Service.

3.4. Notice of Potential Violation of Third Party Rights

In the event that (a) WTI has been notified by a third party that a User's use of the Domain Parking Service may infringe the rights of a third party or (b) WTI identifies an abusive use of the Domain Parking or an infringement against WTI policies, WTI reserves the right to immediately suspend the Domain Parking service without prior notice and to prohibit the User from using the affected domain(s) with the Domain Parking Service.

 

3.5. Advertising Keywords

Users who use the Domain Parking Service may select an advertising keyword for each of their parked Domains that is related to the subject matter of the Domain and which may control which advertisements appear for the respective Domain. All keyword selections must comply with Keyword Selection Policy, which is hereby incorporated by reference and subject to revision from time to time. User agrees not to select advertising keywords likely to cause the display of content infringing the rights of any third party.

3.6. Generation of Click Balance and Payment

If a mode of domain traffic monetization, like an advertising banner, advertising link, or redirect to an advertiser website, has been activated in compliance with the Rules for Domain Parkers by an internet user on the webpage of User's Domain(s) that he/she has listed with the WTI's Domain Parking Service (“Monetization Event”), then a click balance shall be credited to the User's account in an amount and at a time determined at WTI's sole discretion ("Click Balance").

 

DOMAINS THAT ARE NOT ADDED TO A WTI USER ACCOUNT DO NOT ACCUMULATE A CLICK BALANCE.

 

The total Click Balance generated shall be paid out to the User, so long as there are no indications of "fake" or manipulated traffic, as defined below, or active legal disputes in relation to User's use of the Domain Parking Services, at an interval and in the manner as described in the Rules for Domain Parkers.

 

Any unredeemed Click Balance that has yet to expire will be held until the month in which the total amount due exceeds the chosen minimum payment amount for the chosen payment method or until the participation in the parking program has ended, in which case final payment will be made by method chosen by WTI in its sole discretion and any unredeemed Click Balances less than $20 shall be forfeited.

 

Any WTI-Clickbalance shall expire after twelve (12) months after being generated, for whatever reason.

 

In accordance with the Rules for Domain Parkers, WTI reserves the right to reject payment requests to unconfirmed PayPal accounts. In addition, WTI reserves the right to demand verification of User identity before releasing Click Balance payments to said User.

 

User Click Balances resulting from use of the Domain Parking Service are subject to revision for reasons including, but not limited to, accounting corrections from WTI's advertising providers or revisions to rates per click. WTI will only pay Click Balances that correlate to the actual share of revenue that we actually receive from our advertising provider.

 

In the event that WTI discovers a mistake in a month's Click Balance already paid to User, the User agrees to cooperate with WTI to correct the accounting discrepancies, including returning any unearned Click Balance mistakenly paid, so long as WTI attempts to contact the User within 30 days of discovering the mistake.

 

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT STATISTICS DISPLAYED IN YOUR ACCOUNT, ON THE WTI MARKETPLACE OR OTHERWISE COMMUNICATED TO YOU BY WTI ARE FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND DO NOT REFLECT REAL TIME ACCURATE ACCOUNTINGS OF DOMAIN STATISTICS OR CLICK BALANCE.

 

3.7. Suspicion of "Fake Traffic" and Consequences

"Fake" or otherwise manipulated traffic is hereby defined as statistically measured visits to a Domain causing the Monetization Event associated with said Domain, which have been produced by anyone other than a living individual with good-faith intent to inquire about the subject matter being displayed on said Domain.

 

Upon reasonable suspicion that a User's Click Balance is the result of Fake Traffic, WTI reserves the right, without prior notice and at WTI's sole discretion, to delete any or all of the accumulated Click Balance for a User Account, to deny any or all of the User's Domain(s) from utilizing the Domain Parking Service, and/or suspend or delete the User's account. Nothing herein shall prevent WTI from pursuing any claim of damages against the User in relation to their violation of this Section 3 or the Domain Parking Specifications and Guidelines.

 

3.8. Right to Terminate Service and Effect of Termination

WTI reserves the right to terminate or discontinue provisions of the Domain Parking Service at any time, without reason and without prior notice to the User. Upon termination, you will no longer have access to any data or information you had previously created, maintained, managed, or stored in WTI's systems. WTI is under no obligation to maintain any such data or information unless required by law.

 

3.9 Limitation of Liability and Warranty Disclaimer

WTI does not guarantee the success of the search for the domain monetization model associated with the advertising keyword specified by the User, nor does WTI guarantee that Users who direct their Domains to WTI’s servers or participate in the Domain Parking Service generally will generate a Click Balance or earn any revenue from their participation. Please note that specific click rates or click prices fluctuate dependent upon market forces and are subject to change at any given time.
