Xybertek Systems claims no ownership over Client domain names that the Client has paid to register. At its option, Xybertek Systems will either arrange for any billing for names registered by Xybertek Systems on behalf of Client to be sent directly by the registrar or agent thereof to the Client, or Xybertek Systems will directly bill the client for these registration fees plus applicable expenses, and/or service charges, if any.

Client agrees that a Xybertek Systems contact person shall be named as the “technical or zone contact” for any domains hosted at Xybertek Systems.
