The customer is aware that the official .HK registry registration policy requires all individuals to provide identification (i.e. passport numbers) to register a .HK domain. In processing .HK domain registrations through HEXONET, the customer explicitly authorizes HEXONET to transmit this information to the registry on the customer's behalf in the fulfillment of .HK registration policy and the registration of domain names.

The customer in submitting a .HK domain registration through HEXONET explicitly agrees to indemnify HEXONET against any and all liability, loss, damages and legal costs in the transmission of identification information, understanding that HEXONET deletes identification information from all its systems immediately after transmission. The customer understands and accepts that the .HK registry may choose to store identification information along with other registration data on their own accord and completely independent from HEXONET. 

{{Warnbox|
'''Registration of a .COM.HK domain''' is limited for company's based in Hong Kong. The registration have to be validated with the copy of the business certificate. Please send the business certificate to help@hexonet.support.

=== Domain Renewal ===

{{#var:RENEWALSENTENCE}}

==== Notification emails from the .HK Registry ====

The .HK Registry (HKDNR) sends out email notifications upon the renewal of a .HK domain. Three (3) emails are sent to the registrant of the domain upon renewal:
* HKDNR will send a reminder to the registrant that the payment for the renewal must be made within seven (7) days before the expiration date of the domain.
* HKDNR will send a notice to the registrant to acknowledge the receipt of the domain name renewal request (this request is made by our renewal system automatically).
* HKDNR will send a notice to the registrant to acknowledge the successful renewal.


'''Please note that you don't need to react on these emails.'''

'''Our renewal system renews the domains and charges your account at the correct date.'''
