In these cases, Webador shall endeavor to limit access to the information as much as possible, insofar as this is within its control.

8.1 The application, allocation, and possible use of a domain name depend on and are subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the relevant registering authorities, such as the ICANN for .com domain names. The relevant authority decides on the allocation of a domain name. Webador only plays a mediating role and cannot guarantee that an application will also be honored.

8.2 The customer can only ascertain registration based on Webador's confirmation stating that the requested domain name has been registered. An invoice for registration costs is not confirmation of registration.
