We reserve the right to suspend any Businessdirect.ae services during such 10-day period.

You may wish to consider seeking one or more opinions from competent trademark practitioners in connection with your domain name. You agree to assume all responsibility in selecting a domain name to register and/or monitor. Should we be sued or threatened with a lawsuit in connection with your domain name and/or subscription to any other of our services, we may turn to you to hold us harmless and indemnify us pursuant to the Indemnification provision of this agreement. Similarly, you recognize that we have no responsibility to determine whether domain names monitored or acquired by others through our site infringe your own rights in trademarks or domain names, and you agree to release Business Direct and Businessdirect.ae from any legal claims asserting such a responsibility.
