Renewal:-
All domains are renewed on an annual basis, unless otherwise agreed, we will send out reminder emails 30 days, 14 days, 7 days and 1 day before expiry. We will send the emails to the email address on the account. It is the registrant’s responsibility to make sure their contact details are up to date. AKA Internet Ltd will take no responsibility if your domain renewal fails due to your contact details being incorrect.
