and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Tucows and
Reseller, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS
(a) “DNS Service(s) means the DNS services offered by Tucows that will

applicable, such features as domain forwarding, domain under
construction and domain for sale, using a web-based interface, all more
particularly described in Section 2 below;

(e) “Zone” means the information on a name server listing a domain name
with its associated resource records, IP addresses and mail server
information. Elements of the zone file include NS, A, CNAME and MX
resource records.
(f) All initially capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment
Agreement shall have the definitions assigned to such terms in the RSP
Agreement.
2. SERVICES PROVIDED
2.1. Tucows DNS Services are available as the following offerings:
(a) Managed DNS includes the following functions:
(i) Zone record management – The zone records control how a domain
works, with information such as A, CNAME, and MX records.
(ii) Domain Forwarding management - enables a domain name to be
forwarded to another website.
(iii) Sub-Domain Forwarding management - Similar in principle to domain
forwarding, this function applies to subdomains of the domain.
(iv) URL Frame management - URL framing maintains words in the
address bar, regardless of which page you are on.
(v) Domain Templates – Offers Customers web pages for display
purposes. The “Domain Under Construction” page will be a generic
page with no customization available. The Domain For Sale page will
be customizable.
(vi) Subdomain Delegation management - Allows the Customer to delegate
authority of a subdomain to another user.
2.2. Secondary DNS allows Customers to create a back up zone for their primary
DNS Service using Tucows’ nameservers.
2.3. Tucows’ DNS Services cannot be provided without an operating Reseller
account. Reseller shall be responsible for ensuring that its Reseller account is
current.
2.4. Reseller shall be responsible for providing customer service, billing and
technical support and customer interface to accept Customer orders.
2.5. Tucows may from time to time provide enhancements to the DNS Service and
the administration tool at no additional charge to Reseller.
2.6. Reseller agrees that all use of the DNS Services shall be in accordance with all
policies, practices and regulations of Tucows.
3. FEES
3.1. Reseller shall pay to Tucows the non-refundable amounts set forth on

Reseller with a statement based on the number of Zone subscribing to a
service and the amounts owing with respect to same.
3.2. If there are insufficient funds in Reseller’s account at the time of withdrawal,
Tucows will send a daily request for payment to the Reseller’s billing contact

for the outstanding payment within said five (5) day period, Tucows may
suspend Reseller’s Customer’s DNS Service.
