fails to be bound in a reasonable fashion (as determined by us in our

failure by the Client to require the Transferee to provide the
undertaking to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall constitute the material breach of this Agreement and

Agreement may be modified at any time to reflect changes in ICANN'S
policies. Further, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
Client agrees, during the term of this Agreement, that Registrar may:
(1) revise the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and/or (2)
change part of the services provided under this Agreement at any
time. Any such revision or change will be binding and effective
immediately upon posting of the revised Agreement or change to the
service(s) on Registrar's Web sites, or upon notification to Client

Except as otherwise set forth in the Dispute Policy with respect to
disputes, this Agreement, this Agreement shall be governed by the
laws of the Russian Federation except to the disputes regarding the
formation of the Agreement which should be governed by the laws of
USA including but not limited to the Restatement (Second) of
Contracts. Except as otherwise set forth in the Dispute Policy
with respect to disputes, any action to enforce this Agreement or any
matter relating to Client’s use of the Domain Name shall be brought
exclusively in the competent court of the USA.
9.3. Client agrees that
any notices required to be given under this Agreement by Registrar
will be deemed to have been given if delivered in accordance with the
contact information Client has provided.
9.4. Nothing contained
in this Agreement shall be construed as creating any agency,
partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the Parties.
9.5. The failure by
Registrar to require performance of any provision hereof shall not
affect the full right to require such performance at any time
thereafter; nor shall the waiver by Registrar of a breach of any
provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision
itself.
9.6. In the event that
any provision of this Agreement shall be unenforceable or invalid
under any applicable law or be so held by applicable court decision,
such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render this Agreement
unenforceable or invalid as a whole.
9.7. This Agreement,
and the attachments and documents referenced herein, including but
not limited to the Dispute Policy (as modified from time to time),
constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between the Parties,
and supersede and govern all prior proposals, agreements, or other
communications.
9.8.
Client agrees that prior to transferring ownership of his Domain name
to another person (the "Transferee") the Client shall
require the Transferee to agree, in writing to be bound by all the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. If the Transferee
fails to be bound in a reasonable fashion (as determined by us in our
sole discretion) to the terms and conditions in this Agreement and to
provide his prior written undertaking to that effect to the
Registrar, any such transfer will be null and void and the Client
would still be deemed to retain his registration of the Domain name
within the Registrar as if no transfer of ownership occurred. The
failure by the Client to require the Transferee to provide the
undertaking to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall constitute the material breach of this Agreement and
would entitle the Registrar to collect the penalties and seek the
compensation of the damages from the Client.
9.9.
In order to ensure the utmost security and protection of the best
interests of the Client, which has selected the “Golden Partner”
tariff plan any action and/or command with regard to the domain names
registrations of such a Client shall be considered prima facie as an
attempt to commit an unauthorized transfer and/or change of ownership
and can be banned, blocked, reversed or otherwise invalidated by the
Registrar unless the latter was duly informed and instructed in
writing by the Client about the date, character and other sufficient
details of the envisaged action and\or command at least 5 (five)
business days in advance.
9.10. This
Agreement may be assigned by Registrar without Client’s consent.
Client may not assign this Agreement (and the related Domain Name
registration) without meeting the formal requirements, stated in cl.
9.8 of this Agreement.
