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 an Administrator. Each registered domain name is assigned a single Administrator.

The Registry is the central database of the domain, which contains information on the registered domain names and their Administrators, and other information required for the domain registration.

A Registrar is a juristic person that provides services of domain name registration and ensures delivery of the necessary information to the Registry.

The Contractor - Joint Stock Company "RU-CENTER".

A Customer - a person or a legal entity, which made an order to the Contractor to service.

Domain name registration means entry of the information about a domain name and its Administrator on the Registry by a Registrar following a Customer's Application. 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.

The Administrator of a domain is the person in whose name the domain is registered. The Administrator of a domain defines the rules and order of using the domain name, is responsible for selecting the domain name and for possible infringement 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 infringements.

The Administration of a domain means definition, by the Administrator, of the rules and order of using the domain name, and management and technical support of the domain operation.

Registration termination (domain name vacation) is removal of the information on a domain name and its Administrator 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 the SU domain, 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.

An Application (Order) is a request of a Customer to a Registrar which is made on a form given by the Registrar and contains the information required for the registration (renewing the registration) of a domain name.

The Personal account of a Customer's Agreement 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 Agreement 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.

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.
