The Certificate also provides assurances that the Subscriber is entitled to use the domain name listed in the Certificate Application, if a domain name is listed in such Certificate Application.
The following applies to GeoTrust QuickSSL, QuickSSL Premium, RapidSSL, RapidSSL Wildcard, Comodo PositiveSSL, Comodo PositiveSSL Wildcard Certificates only: The Certificate for which you have applied on behalf of your organization is not a fully-authenticated Certificate.

No organization authentication is performed on the owner of the domain.

7. FEES.
As consideration for the Service(s) and renewal of the Service(s) you agree to pay, prior to the effectiveness of the desired Service(s), the applicable Service(s) fees.

In order to qualify for a refund you must do one of the following within ninety (90) days from purchase: (1) obtain issuance and thereafter make a written request for a refund within fifteen (15) days of that date; (2) attempt at issuance and be unsuccessful; or (3) make no attempt at issuance but make a written refund request to SSL Street.com.
In the event that you paid for the Services by Bitcoin, you acknowledge and agree that any refunds will be issued in USD, which amount will be determined at the Bitcoin to USD exchange rate when the refund is completed. You hereby acknowledge and agree that that the amount of the refund in USD may be more or less than the USD equivalent of Bitcoins paid for the service at the time of purchase due to fluctuations in the Bitcoin to USD exchange rate.
8. PAYMENT. In the event of a charge back by a credit card company (or similar action by another payment provider allowed by us) in connection with your payment of fees for any Service(s), you agree that we may suspend access to any and all accounts you have with us and/or your Primary Service Provider and that all rights to and interest in and use of any SSL certificate(s), including all data hosted on our systems shall be assumed by us in satisfaction of any indebtedness by you to us.

Charges for the Service(s) which use our credit card payment processor will be identified on your credit card statement as "SSL Street.com”.
9. EXPIRATION AND RENEWAL OF SERVICE(S). You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to keep your own records and to maintain your own reminders regarding when your SSL certificate is set to expire. As a convenience to you, and not as a binding commitment, we may notify you via an email message when renewal fees are due. Should these fees go unpaid, your Services will expire or be cancelled. Payment must be made by credit card or such other method as we may allow or require from time to time.

Not providing requested information may prevent you from obtaining all Service(s).
You agree to notify SSL Street within five (5) business days when any of the information you provided as part of the application changes.
