III. 西部数码's methods for handling illegal and non-compliant content

Based on the source and severity of the illegal information, the handling methods are as follows:

1. Through self-inspection or upon receiving reports or complaints from customers/rights holders, we will notify the domain name owner and the holder of the account where the domain name resides by email to delete the illegal and non-compliant content within the prescribed time and to rectify or shut down the website. If you show no sign of rectification or provide no reply within the prescribed time, our company can only first suspend your domain name/website service.

2. If a superior competent authority notifies us to immediately delete illegal information or suspend domain name resolution, we will directly suspend the domain name/website service according to the requirements of the superior competent authority. When waiting for user inquiries, we will inform whether it can be unlocked and other information.

3. For domain names for which a superior authority or registry issues a requirement to suspend resolution, prohibit transfer, etc., after suspending resolution, our company will also restrict functions such as domain name transfer, trading, push, and ownership transfer.

4. For domain names with obvious abuse violations such as gambling, phishing, and fraud, or for malicious defamation where no timely reply or handling is given after notification, 西部数码 has the right, while preserving screenshots of the illegal information, to directly suspend the domain name to avoid malicious impact.

Warm reminder: In order for you to receive notification emails promptly and accurately, please add abuse@west.cn and westabuse@gmail.com to your email whitelist, and ensure that your contact information is true and accurate, so as to avoid unnecessary losses caused by inaccurate contact information. At the same time, if you do not receive notification emails due to your own email issues, you shall bear the responsibility yourself.

IV. Domain name/website violation report tracking instructions

After a complaint about a non-compliant domain name is handled, our company will notify the complainant by email or phone for verification. After confirmation, our company will close the complaint and add the domain name to the program pending investigation list, waiting in the queue for review.

V. Methods for reactivating domain name/website services that have been suspended

Based on the source of the illegal and non-compliant notice and the severity of the circumstances, the specific reactivation methods are classified as follows. You may also submit a ticket to contact a domain name specialist for verification and consultation:

1. Reactivation methods after service is suspended due to illegal information discovered through self-inspection or reports or complaints from customers/rights holders.

① Completely remove the illegal information as required and strengthen website security management.

③ Submit a ticket or reply to the email to apply for reactivation of the website, promise not to use the domain name for malicious infringement, abuse, or other non-compliant or illegal uses, and acknowledge that if it is again complained of and the complaint is verified, 西部数码 has the right to suspend the domain name without restoring it.

VII. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: My domain name/website has been required by a competent authority to stop service. I have submitted a reactivation application. Why can it still not be restored/reactivated?

A: For domain name/website services that a relevant competent authority has issued a notice requiring to stop, restoration/reactivation service also requires our company to receive a restoration/reactivation service notice issued by the superior competent authority before we can restore/reactivate the service. 西部数码 cannot privately restore or reactivate your domain name/website service without receiving a restoration/reactivation service notice issued by the competent authority.

Please have the person in charge of the website contact the superior government department on their own to apply for restoration/reactivation of service.

Q: Why was my domain name/website service stopped without my receiving a notice?

A: Under normal circumstances, our company will notify by email. If you did not receive a notice, please check whether your contact email is correct and whether you have added the 西部数码 email to the whitelist.

For domain names with serious circumstances or those required by a superior notification to be immediately suspended, please understand that direct handling is necessary.

Q: I was defrauded. The fraudulent website uses domain name/website services provided by 西部数码. What should I do?

A: 西部数码 is only a domain name registration service provider, and website content is operated by users themselves. It is recommended that users report the case to a public security organ. Materials related to the report: copy of the company business license, copy of the legal representative's ID card, certificate of identity of the legal representative, letter of introduction, copy of the reporting person's ID card (for specific details, it is recommended to consult the public security organ).

At the same time, you may also report to a superior competent authority.
