It is also the responsibility of the registrant to renew the domain name on timely basis. However, at the conclusion of the registration period , failure by the Registrant fails to pay the renewal fee within the specified time as mentioned in the second reminder notice/mail, results in cancellation of the domain registration. We may send you more than two reminder mails for renewal prior to the date when a renewal is due. (Though renewal reminder is automated, We owe no responsibility if we fail to notify prior to due date. You are requested to make the payment for renewal as and when due).
