8. Premium Domain Selection:

If you have selected a premium domain, it cannot be registered at the displayed price. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by registry issues. Premium domains are those deemed valuable or in high demand, resulting in elevated prices.
The issue arises during domain availability checks, where some registries erroneously show premium domains as available. This discrepancy is a registry-specific matter beyond our control, leading to potential discrepancies in the registration process.
Your credit will be added to your account for use on any services, automatically applied to your invoice. If you prefer a refund, please open a ticket to the billing department in your client area. Provide bank details where you want to receive your refund. If the payment was made through an online automated gateway like Stripe, credit/debit card, or PayPal, your payment will be refunded the same way.
