3. Service Definition
3.1. GlobalBlock is a service that prevents third parties from registering Domain Names that correspond to a trademark or its variant in all TLDs participating in the Service. The registration of such Domain Names will therefore be available, upon unlocking, exclusively through BSA-accredited agents.

The technical specifications regarding the functionalities and proper use of the Service are outlined in the Commercial Offer and other documentation provided by Register to the Customer, including the contractual conditions of the aforementioned supplier, to which explicit reference is made for details regarding the performance of the Service.
4.3. With reference to the Service Fee and payment methods, reference is made to Article 7 of the General Terms of Service OBP and the Commercial Offer. In addition to what is provided in Article 7.3, the Customer expressly accepts that, at the time of renewal, the price may vary due to changes made by the supplier to the list of TLD extensions participating in the Service.
5. Service Activation
5.1. By subscribing to the Service, the Customer requests to block, by possible third parties, the registration of Domain Names on which the Customer holds certain rights. Register, within 24/36 hours following the Customer's request, will proceed to have the supplier verify, based on the procedure indicated in Article 2.1.2 of the contractual conditions, the legitimacy of the Customer’s rights to the specified Domain Name. In case of any documentary deficiencies, the necessary integrations will be requested from the Customer. Once the verifications of the Customer’s rights have been positively completed, Register will have 72 hours (excluding weekends) to validate the request and block all extensions participating in the service. An IPR code will then be generated, which Register will use for activation. The processing time for activation is a few hours. It is expressly understood that this timeframe does not include any delays due to malfunctions of the BSA platform.
6. Liability Disclaimer
6.1. The Customer agrees to indemnify and hold BSA and Register fully harmless from any and all prejudicial consequences, damages, actions, claims, demands of any nature, including those arising from third parties, resulting from actions or omissions of the Customer in violation of the contractual conditions referred to in this article.
