    3. Confirm details of the provisional registration;

The Registrant's Obligations

You agree that you will:

    1. That the original registration under .kiwi.nz is governed by the DNC's Second Level Domain Policy. It is provisional and a threshold of 500 registrations in .kiwi.nz is required for the .kiwi.nz domain to be declared active;
    2. That the details associated with the provisional registration will be locked so that no changes can be made while it remains provisional, and the domain name will not be delegated to the DNS during this provisional registration period;
    3. That the provisional registration period applies until the registration threshold is met or for a maximum of one month;
    4. That as soon as the threshold is met and the domain is declared active your domain name will be delegated and can start being used by you;
    5. That if 500 registrations in a month are not achieved in .kiwi.nz, the domain will not be created and your provisional registration will be cancelled.
