Domain is an area of the Internet hierarchical name space, which is denoted by a unique domain name, served by a set of Domain Name Servers (DNS), and administered autonomously by a Registrant. Each registered domain name is assigned to a single Registrant.
Registry is the central database of the .РФ and .RU domain, which contains information on the registered domain names and their Registrants, and other information required for the domain registration.
Registrar is a legal entity that provides services of domain name registration and ensures delivery of the necessary information to the Registry.
The Contractor - Joint Stock Company "RU-CENTER".
Partner is an individual person or legal entity that has signed a Multiple Services Contract.
Customer is a Partner.
Domain name registration means entry of the information about a domain name and its Registrant on the Registry by a Registrar following a Customer's Application, and other data set by the Terms and Conditions. A domain name is considered registered from the moment the information is entered on the Registry. The registration term, during which the information on a domain name is stored on the Registry, is one year. The registration of a domain can be repeatedly renewed for another year.
Registrant (domain name owner) is the person in whose name the domain is registered. The Registrant defines the rules and order of using the domain name, is responsible for selecting the domain name and for possible violations of the rights of any third party in connection with the selection and use of the domain name, and is liable for the costs of such violations.
Administration of a domain means definition, by the Registrant, of the rules and order of using the domain name, management and technical support of the domain operation.
Cancellation of registration is removal of the information on a domain name and its Registrant from the Registry.
Domain delegation is placement and storage of the information about a domain name and its domain name servers (DNS servers) on the root DNS servers of .RU or .РФ domains, which enables the operation of the domain on the Internet. The delegation of a domain is only possible during the registration term of the domain.
Application (Order) is a request of a Customer to the Contractor which is made on a form given by the Contractor and contains the information required for the registration (registration renewal) of a domain name.
Personal account of a Customer's Contract is a record of the Customer's payments to the Contractor as a Registrar, as well as the Customer's expenses for services provided by the Contractor. Any payment made by a Customer is added to the Personal account of their Contract after the money has been credited to the Contractor's bank account and the Contractor has received from the bank a document identifying the payment.
Funds Allocation (on Customer's personal account) - reservation of a sum of money on the Customer's personal account for its further withdrawal for service delivery or renewal. The funds allocated for service delivery or renewal may not be used for other services payment.
Electronic payment system (e-payment system) is a system represented by software and hardware infrastructure, to settle financial transactions between the Customer and the Contractor via Internet.
Stoplist - the list of domain names prohibited for registration (Stoplist).
