Specific Terms and Conditions applicable to the SSL Certificates Service provided by EuroDNS S.A.

These Specific Terms and Conditions and the General Terms and Conditions shall be interpreted and applied together as a single instrument (the "Agreement"). To the extent there is a direct conflict between these terms and the General Terms and Conditions, these terms shall prevail. Capitalised terms defined in the General Terms and Conditions shall have the same meaning in the Specific Terms and Conditions.

1. The Service

1.1 Order process

In its capacity as an authorised reseller and insofar as the Customer has submitted an Order Form pursuant to the General Terms and Conditions, EuroDNS shall provide to the Customer a range of issuance and administration services for digital certificates based on the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (the "SSL Certificate Service").

Under these Specific Terms and Conditions EuroDNS shall enable the Customer to obtain SSL digital certificates (the "Certificate") from the following certification authority (the "Authority"):

GMO GlobalSign Ltd
Springfield House
Sandling Road, Maidstone, Kent
ME14 2LP, United Kingdom

In order for the Customer to conveniently initiate the issuance procedure for the Certificate, EuroDNS allows the Customer to initiate this procedure up to three (3) months after their Order has been accepted by EuroDNS.

The Customer is expressly informed that if they fail to initiate the issuance procedure within this delay, they will lose all rights to the deliverance of the Certificate and will not be entitled to any refund.

The Customer is also informed that the issuance procedure may only be initiated from the Customer Account via which the Customer has placed their order for the Certificate.

1.2 Validation

Issuance of the Certificate will be subject to a mandatory validation procedure. The applicable procedure, contingent upon the type of Certificate selected by the Customer shall be detailed on the EuroDNS Site. The Client shall be solely responsible for abiding by the applicable procedure in order to obtain the Certificate from the Authority.

1.3 Certificate renewal

1.3.1. Automated renewal

In order to avoid an unwanted expiration of the Certificate, EuroDNS enables the Customer to activate an automated renewal option in the Customer Account.

If this option is activated, EuroDNS will attempt to renew the Certificate prior to its expiration date and for the term selected by the Customer. This automated renewal shall be operated in accordance with the terms of article 6 of the General Terms and Conditions.

1.3.2. Manual renewal

If the automated renewal option is deactivated, the Customer will need to manually renew the Certificate via the Customer Account before its expiration date. EuroDNS will notify the Customer several times of the expiration and applicable methods to renew the Certificate, by sending the Customer emails to the address registered as part of the Customer Details.

EuroDNS cannot be held liable if the Customer fails to take the necessary action to renew the Certificate or in the case of the Customer Details being inaccurate or obsolete and, more generally, in case of the Customer failing to receive the expiration notice. The Customer remains solely responsible for the renewal of the Certificate.

If the Customer fails to take action to renew the Certificate before its expiration date, the Certificate will become obsolete pursuant to the Authority terms of service.
