Terms of service

These terms cover the service run by DAC WEB SERVICES SRL ([registration number]), [registered address], Chișinău, Republic of Moldova — "we". By buying a site you agree to them.

1. What you're buying

A domain name pointed at a personal CV page we host and you edit, for one year at a time.

2. The domain is registered in our name

We register the domain as its legal owner, not you. You have the exclusive right to use it for as long as your subscription is paid, and we will not point it anywhere else while it is yours. But the registrant on record is us.

This is how we can set a domain up for you in one step without you dealing with a registrar. It also means: we do not say you own your domain, because you don't. If that matters to you, ask us to transfer it out — see clause 4.

3. Every order is checked by a person

Paying does not register a domain. We look at each order first, and only then register it. Usually that is quick. If we decide not to proceed, nothing is registered and you are refunded in full.

We may refuse an order — most often because the name would infringe someone's trademark, because the domain turns out to cost far more than its price suggested, or because we think it is intended to impersonate somebody.

4. Leaving, and what happens to the domain

• You can stop renewing at any time from your account. Your site stays online until the end of the year you've paid for.
• By default an unrenewed domain simply lapses — we stop paying for it and it becomes available to anyone.
• You can ask us to transfer it to you instead. Email us before it lapses and we will hand it over to a registrar account of yours. We do not charge for this.
• If you stop paying without cancelling, we email you, keep your site up for a grace period, then take it offline, then let the domain lapse. Every step is reversible by paying, until the last one.

5. Payment

Payments are taken by Polar Software Inc., who are the seller of record for your purchase and whose name appears on your statement. Prices differ per domain because domains do; the price you are shown at checkout is the price for that year.

Refunds: in full if we refuse your order or cannot deliver the domain. Otherwise we do not refund a year in progress — the domain has been bought and paid for on your behalf.

6. Your content

Your CV is yours. You give us only what we need to publish it: to store it and serve it at your domain. You can export it or delete it at any time from your account.

You agree not to publish content that:

• impersonates somebody else;
• infringes a trademark or another person's rights;
• is unlawful, or used to deceive people.

We do not verify that you are who you say you are. We are a domain and hosting provider, not an identity authority — the same position every registrar takes.

7. Complaints and removal

Anyone can report a site to us at https://cv.dacws.ro/abuse. We investigate, and we may suspend a site while we do. Because the domain is registered in our name, a legal complaint about it lands on us, so we take them seriously and act quickly.

You indemnify us against claims arising from what you publish, or from the domain name you asked us to register.

8. Availability

We do not promise uninterrupted service and do not offer an uptime guarantee. We will maintain backups and act promptly on outages. If we discontinue the service entirely we will give you reasonable notice and offer to transfer your domain to you.

9. Changes

We may change these terms. If a change materially affects you we will email you before it applies, and you may cancel.

10. Law

These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Moldova. If you bought as a consumer in the EU, this does not remove protections you have under the law of the country you live in.
