Information Partner General Handling Procedure

1. RU-CENTER concludes an Information Services Agreement (NIC-A) with an information partner. The partner should read and agree to the terms and conditions, and then complete the form.

2. The information partner may:

• place a hypertext link to any of listed RU-CENTER web-sites or their thematic sections on the Internet resources:

  http://www.nic.ru/
  http://hosting.nic.ru/
  http://www.mail.nic.ru/
  http://auction.nic.ru/
  http://site.nic.ru/
  http://stat.nic.ru/

  The link may look like a text or an image.

  • Link format
  • Requirements for link placement

  When a Client goes to RU-CENTER web-site through the partner's link, RU-CENTER's web-server places in the Client's browser a cookie containing the information partner's agreement number and the current date.
  
  For the Client registration the cookies with the maximum validity period of 1 (one) calendar month shall be used.

• complete the registration form for the Agreement conclusion (index NIC-D) by the Client. The form should be completed in the "Manage your account" section, using authorization according to the information partner agreement.

3. RU-CENTER registers the client in the following cases:

• the Client completes the form for the agreement conclusion (NIC-D index). User's web browser shall contain a valid cookie. It enables to set an identifier in the form, pointing to the information partner. If the Client receives RU-CENTER's services under this agreement, the services and their renewal will be taken into account in the process of information services cost calculation within 3 (three) years from the date of the agreement concluded between the Client and RU-CENTER.
• The client, which browser contains a valid cookie, orders the services under the previously concluded agreement (NIC-D index).
  In this case the identifier pointing to the information partner shall be set in the order. If the Client pays for this order and receives a RU-CENTER service, the service and its renewal will be taken into account in the process of information services cost calculation within the whole validity term of the agreement between the Client and RU-CENTER.

4. If the Client's form contains an identifier pointing to the information partner, the latter has a priority to other information partners for the accruals accounting as regards the services ordered by the Client.

5. Accruals to the information partner are made, if the registered client ordered and paid for RU-CENTER services as per the list specified in Addendum 2 for the NIC-A agreement ("Table for Calculation of Information Services Cost").

6. RU-CENTER calculates the amount of fees and registers them on the partner's agreement personal account. The profit value constitutes a percent from the service received and paid for by the Client set by the agreement.

Partner's information services cost is determined by means of adding up profits for all RU-CENTER services received and paid for by Clients.

7. No more fees will be made since the agreement (NIC-D) with the information partner's identifier is transferred to a business partner (NIC-REG). If the client within 3 years since the partner's identifier placement in the agreement withdraws its agreement from the business partner to RU-CENTER, the fees payment to the information partner will resume.

8. In order to get the information services cost the partner - RF resident should send to RU-CENTER through "Manage your account" section a request for funds transfer. The request form depends on a payment option chosen by the partner.

For the partners, other than RF residents, the payment may be made only to the personal account of another agreement (NIC-D or NIC-REG) specified by the partner in the funds transfer request.

9. The accountable receipts are submitted to the partners - RF residents (legal entities or sole traders) to the addresses specified in their agreements.
