We will inform you of our receipt of any such notice. Exceptional circumstances include in particular, where to maintain the registration would put the Registry in conflict with statutory obligations or the terms of a court order or where the registration or use of the Domain Name conflicts with the Registry's rules in force from time to time. In the case of such cancellation or suspension, we will endeavour to procure a new suitable Domain Name for you in accordance with the provisions of this Condition 7.
