admissible Domain Names:
a) Acceptable Characters
No characters other than a combination of the following characters
may be included in a Domain Name Registration: i. Letters a through z (no accents of any kind will be

iii. The hyphen character (although it cannot be used to start

greater than fifty (50) characters long.
2.8 The Domain Name must not be defamatory, libellous, slanderous,
obscene, abusive, offensive, threatening and/or immoral.
2.9 A Domain Name may be revoked if found to be in contravention of
published policies and procedures.
2.10 A Domain Name may be suspended or revoked if the BermudaNIC
Registrar is directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
2.11 A Domain Name may be cancelled or redelegated at any stage where the
Registrant does not comply with these requirements or fails to meet any
liabilities in connection with the registration or use of the Domain Name.
2.12 For Registration Purposes there shall be at least two configured and
working name servers with addresses specified at the time of application.
2.13 Upon application for registration of a new Domain Name, the Registrant
agrees to be bound by all published policies and terms of service. Where
the Registrant makes use of an agent, the agent agrees that it has made its
client aware of all policies and that the client agrees to be bound by those
policies.

policies at any time, providing that such policy changes become effective
upon posting on this and other websites.
