Should a renewal fee go unpaid within the time specified regarding renewal, the registration will be cancelled.

We will renew the registration for the term specified provided your credit card or other billing information is available and up to date, unless you instruct us otherwise within the time specified. If your billing information is not accurate and you wish to renew the registration, we will contact you to update this information and charge you accordingly.
In case the requisite payment is not received since it is due, then we can stop providing services to you and the stoppage of service due to non payment or any other reason attributable to you can not be held as " intent to cause wrongful loss or damage to the public or any person and neither it can be constructed to diminish the value or utility or affect you injuriously'. Discontinuance of service by Net4 due to non payment of dues or any other reason attributable to you does not amount to Hacking.
When you register a domain name, you have the option to elect that the domain name be automatically renewed upon reaching the expiration date. If you elect the automatic renewal option, Net4 will automatically renew, for a period equivalent to the length of your original registration, any domain name that is up for renewal and will take payment from the Payment Method you have on file with Net4, at Net4's then current rates. Thus, if you have chosen to register your domain name for one year, Net4 will automatically renew it for one year. If you have chosen to register your domain name for two years, Net4 will automatically renew it for two years, and so on. Domain name renewals will be non refundable. If for any reason Net4 is not able to take the payment from the Payment Method you have on file, and you fail to respond to our notices, your domain name registration will expire. It is your responsibility to keep your Payment Method information current, which includes the expiration date if you are using a credit card.
If you do not elect that the domain name be automatically renewed, you have the responsibility of logging into your account for that domain name and manually implementing the renewal by the expiration date (should you in fact want the domain name to be renewed). In this case, if you fail to manually implement the renewal in a timely fashion the domain name will be cancelled and you will no longer have use of that name. You agree that Net4 will not be responsible for cancelled domain names that you fail to renew, either automatically or manually. In any case, if you fail to renew your domain name in a timely fashion, additional charges may apply. If you signed up for domain forwarding, or any other similar service, with your domain registration, these services may be automatically renewed when your domain registration is up for renewal, and you may incur an additional renewal fee unless you cancel in advance.
If you fail to renew your domain name, you agree that Net4 may, at its sole discretion, renew your expired domain name on your behalf. If Net4 decides to renew your expired domain name on your behalf you will have a Renewal Grace Period during which you may reimburse Net4 for the renewal and keep your domain name. The Renewal Grace Period is currently 12 days but subject to change under the terms of Section 2 of this Agreement. If you do not reimburse Net4for the renewal during the Renewal Grace Period your domain name will be placed on Hold and flagged for deletion after which you will have a 30 day redemption period during which you may pay Net4 a Redemption fee and redeem your domain name. The Redemption fee is currently Rs.10,000 OR 250 USD and is subject to change under the “Terms of Agreement: Modifications” of this agreement. If you do not redeem your domain name prior to the end of the 30 day redemption period Net4 may, at its sole discretion, delete your domain name or transfer it to another registrant on your behalf.
If your domain is deleted, the Registry also provides a 30 day Redemption Grace Period during which you may pay Net4 a redemption fee and redeem your domain name. The redemption fee is currently Rs. 10,000 or 250 USD and is subject to change under the “Terms of Agreement: Modifications” of this agreement.
