information to keep it current, complete or accurate, or your
failure to respond for over fifteen (15) calendar days to inquiries
from us concerning the accuracy of the contact details associated
with your domain name registration may be considered by us to be a
material breach and that we may provide a written notice, describing
the breach, to you. If within ten (10) calendar days of the date of
such notice, you fail to provide evidence, which is reasonably
satisfactory to us, that you have not breached your obligations
