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.
An Applicant is a natural or juristic person that requests a service of domain
name registration and enters into an appropriate agreement with a Registrar.
Domain name registration means entry of the information about a domain name and
its Administrator 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.
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 an Applicant 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 RU-NIC as a Registrar, as well as the Customer's expenses for services
provided by RU-NIC. Any payment made by a Customer is added to the Personal account of
their Agreement after the money has been credited to RU-NIC's bank account and RU-NIC 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 RU-NIC via Internet.
