Domains Registration Schedule in .SU TLD (Service Agreement)

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.

Domain Name Presentation (Presentation) is Domain name containing Latin letters, numbers and hyphens. Presentation is a result of conversion of the domain name by PUNYCODE (given in technical standards RFC-3490, 3491, 3492).

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

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

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 Registrant on the Registry by a Registrar following an Applicant'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.

Registrant 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 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.

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

Cancellation of registration (release of a domain name) 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 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.

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

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.

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.
