persons and entities:

  ii.  Defensive Registrations  (i.e.  registrations  granted  to  registrants which
aim  to prevent a  third party from registering either an exact match of a
trademark  or  any  variation of  a  trademark, which  registration will not
resolve within the domain name system).

registration of  the domain name shall imply our acceptance of the Agreement.
Upon  acceptance  of  the Agreement  its  terms  and  conditions  shall  be  binding
for  both  parties.  You  acknowledge  that  you  are  submitting  this  Agreement
through a .CAT-accredited  registrar.
3.2 REGISTRY may  amend  this Agreement  at  any  time,  and  your  continued
use of  the domain name, understood as  its presence on your name within our
