1. Definitions

A 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.

The Registry is the database of the second level domain, which contains information on the registered third-level domain names and their Registrants, and other information required for the third-level domain registration.

Second-level domain Sponsor is a legal entity or an individual in whose name the domain is registered.

The Registrar is a legal entity that registers third-level domain names and delivers to the Registry required information about the Registrant and the domain name.

The Contractor is Joint Stock Company "Regional Network Information Center" (RU-CENTER). The contractor's web server is located at https://www.nic.ru/ (hereinafter referred to as the "Contractor's web server").

A Partner is an individual person or legal entity that has signed a Multiple Services Contract.

A Customer is a Partner.

The registration of a third-level domain name (Domain name registration) means entry of the information about a third-level domain name and its Registrant in the Registry by a the Contractor following an Applicant's Application. A third-level domain name is considered registered from the moment the information is entered on the Registry. Domain name details are stored in the Registry hroughout the domain registration term until "paid-till" date specified in the Registrar's Whois-service. The registration of a third-level domain can be repeatedly renewed for another term that is a multiple of one 1 (one) calendar year. The registration of a third-level domain name may be canceled earlier in the cases provided for in this Schedule.

The third-level domain Registrant (hereinafter, the "Registrant") is the person in whose name the third-level domain is registered. The third-level domain Registrant defines the rules and order of using this 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.

The Administration of a third-level domain means determination by the third-level domain Registrant of the rules and order of using the third-level domain name, management and technical support of the domain operation.

Cancellation of registration is removal of the information on a third-level domain name and its Registrant from the Registry.

Third-level domain delegation is placement and storage of the information about a third-level domain name and its domain name servers (DNS servers) on the root DNS servers of the RU domain, which enables the operation of the third-level domain on the Internet. The delegation of a third-level domain is only possible during the registration term of this domain.

An Application (Order) is a request of an Applicant to the Contractor which is made in the form ipulated by the Contractor and contains information required for the registration (registration renewal) of a third-level domain name.

Customer's Contract Account 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 the Multiple Services 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.
