3.17. The subscriber has read and agrees with the Unified policy for resolving disputes over domain names in the .UA domain, published at: https://hostmaster.ua/policy/ua-drp

3.18. The obligatory condition for registration of the 2nd level domain in the .UA domain zone is that the Subscriber has a certificate for the trademark of the same name with the desired domain name. It is impossible to register a domain without this document. Applications for registration of domains in the UA domain zone are processed by the Registry operator manually only on working days. The minimum term for consideration of an application for registration of a .UA domain name is 3 working days. An important feature of this domain zone is the fact that the owner of the domain name in the top-level zone .UA is the owner of the trademark, which must be specified by the Subscriber when forming an application for domain registration. The subject specified by the Subscriber at registration in the form of contact of the domain, will not be the owner of the domain in a zone of the top level .UA.

3.19. The Subscriber has read and agrees with the Regulations of the public Internet service WHOIS https://hostmaster.ua/services

3.21. The Subscriber is informed that in case of untimely renewal of the domain name, the term of possible unauthorized renewal of the domain name "AutoRenewGracePeriod" may be reduced by the Registrar to 20 days from the date of expiration of the domain

3.22. The Subscriber understands that if the domain name is not renewed within 20 days from the expiration date of the domain, the domain will go into the "RedemptionPeriod" status and the standard renewal operation will no longer be applicable to such domain name. In order to retain ownership and activate domain name, in this case, a special domain recovery operation from the "RedemptionPeriod" status will be required, the cost of which exceeds the price of a standard domain renewal operation for 1 year by at least 5 times. The exact cost of the restoring operation of the domain from the "RedemptionPeriod" status depends on the current regulations of the domain zone administration and the Contractor's pricing policy.

3.23. The restoring operation of the domain name from the "RedemptionPeriod" status simultaneously renews the domain for 1 calendar year. The cost of renewal is already included in the cost of the restore operation and does not require additional payments from the Subscriber.

3.24. As a result of hostilities on February 24, 2022, a temporary change was made in the policy of servicing domain names in the "RedemptionPeriod" status on the territory of Ukraine for the following domain zones: .UA, .COM.UA, .ORG.UA, .IN.UA., .NET.UA, .KIEV.UA, .KYIV.UA, .CHERKASSY.UA, .CHERKASY.UA, .CK.UA, .CHERNIGOV.UA, .CHERNIHIV.UA, .CN.UA, .CHERNOVTSY.UA, .CHERNIVTSI.UA, .CV.UA, .IVANO-FRANKIVSK.UA, .IF.UA, .KIROVOGRAD.UA, .KR.UA, .KHERSON.UA, .KS.UA, .KHMELNITSKIY.UA, .KM.UA, .LUTSK.UA, .LT.UA, .VOLYN.UA, .POLTAVA.UA, .PL.UA, .ROVNO.UA, .RIVNE.UA, .RV.UA, .UZHGOROD.UA, .UZ.UA, .VINNICA.UA, .VN.UA, .ZHITOMIR.UA, .ZT.UA, .KH.UA, .ZP.UA, .DN.UA, .LG.UA, .SUMY.UA, .KHARKOV.UA, .LUGANSK.UA, .SM.UA, .KHARKIV.UA, .DONETSK.UA, .ZAPORIZHZHE.UA, .DP.UA, .DNIPROPETROVSK.UA, .DNEPROPETROVSK.UA, .CO.UA, .BIZ.UA, .OD.UA, .ODESSA.UA, .ODESA.UA, .MK.UA, .NIKOLAEV.UA, TERNOPIL.UA, TE.UA. According to the provisions of the temporary maintenance policy, the cost of restoring domain names in the "RedemptionPeriod" status from 02/24/2022 to 04/30/2023 is equal to 2 standard renewal operations, and from 05/01/2023 is equal to 4 standard domain name renewal operations in the corresponding domain zone.

3.25. The Subscriber is informed that in some domain zones (for example, .EU, .PL, .CZ) there is no status "AutoRenewGracePeriod" and the domain is given the status "RedemptionPeriod" immediately after the expiration of the domain name delegation in case of lack of timely service renewal.

3.26. The Subscriber understands that in case of registration of an international domain name included in the list of reserved domain names of the domain zone owner or a domain name included in the list of premium domains, the registration price will differ from the standard one indicated on the Contractor's website. Any promotional discount or special price offer on the Contractor's website may not apply to premium domains and may only be used for standard domain names that are not included in the premium list.

3.27. Applications for registration and transfer of domain names are processed by the Contractor in the order of their receipt. These Rules do not set a "period of simultaneity": the first application for any domain in the queue is satisfied, all other applications for the same domain are rejected.

3.28. The Subscriber can become the owner of a domain name in the .DE zone as both an individual and a legal entity. In this case, every non-resident or foreign company that registers domain names in the .DE zone must have a so-called "administrative contact" in Germany. That is, his authorized representative, who is a resident of the country and is ready to provide his postal address to exchange the necessary documentation. If the Subscriber does not provide all the necessary technical data within 4 weeks after the domain registration in the .DE zone, the delegation of the domain name in the .DE zone will be canceled. The Subscriber or his "administrative contact" must have a real address located in Germany. In this case, the mailbox of the Subscriber cannot be in the role of the Subscriber's contact address or administrative contact.

3.29. To register a domain in the .RU, .РФ, .SU zones, the Subscriber, among other general data, is obliged to indicate the series and number of his passport, by whom and when it was issued, as well as the date of his birth. All data must be reliable.

3.30. When delegating a .EU domain name to a Subscriber, the administrative contact must be a natural or legal person who is a resident of the European Union with the corresponding address of registration or state registration.

3.31. Domain name registration by the Contractor in some domain zones, where registration is associated with manual verification or data processing by the domain zone Administrator, may be performed up to 10 working days from the moment of payment of the domain registration application by the Subscriber.

3.32. The Subscriber agrees that neither the Contractor, nor the Administrator, nor the Registry Operator shall be liable for the consequences of the use or illegal use of domain names by the Subscriber, including to third parties, as well as in case of violation of the rights of third parties.

3.33. The Subscriber confirms that when using the "Privacy protection" service, his personal data, as well as the data of the domain name owner, can and will be provided to the competent authorities if requested by the latter. If the use of the domain name is associated with a possible violation of current law, the Contractor reserves the right to refuse or early refusal to provide the service of hiding the data of the domain name owner in the results of WHOIS queries.

3.34. The Subscriber is informed and understands that when registering a new domain name in international domain zones or changing contact information in existing international domain names, a special email with a verification link may be sent to the contact e-mail address specified in the domain contact's administrative contact properties. Going to the specified link confirms that the e-mail address specified by the Subscriber in the contact properties of the domain name is correct and working. If such a letter is ignored within 14 days, the domain name may be temporarily blocked until the Subscriber confirms the contact e-mail address.

3.35. The Subscriber agrees that any promotional discount or special price offer on the Contractor's website regarding domain names applies only to the registration of new domains. Transfer and domain name renewal operations are paid by the Subscriber in accordance with the standard non-promotional value, unless otherwise specified in the terms of the current promotion.

4.10. When ordering Virtual hosting within the free trial period, in the absence of actual work with hosting by the Subscriber, the Contractor reserves the right to suspend the provision of such service.

4.11. Hosting accounts that regularly create, move or delete thousands of files, which significantly reduces the overall performance of the disk subsystem on Virtual hosting, may be completely or partially blocked by the Contractor.

4.12. Within any tariff plan of Virtual Hosting, the Contractor shall form regular backup copies of the Subscriber's hosting account data, if the total number of hosting account files does not exceed 200,000. These backups are not available for deletion by the Subscriber and are not included in the quota of disk space selected by the Subscriber of the Virtual hosting tariff plan, which guarantees the possibility of restoring the Subscriber's data even in case of deleting the hosting account or losing any data in the process of work.

4.14. Subscribers of a separate Hosting reselling service understand that the Contractor does not provide direct technical, financial or administrative support to the Subscriber's clients. All questions of the Subscriber's clients, which he cannot solve on his own, can be addressed to the Contractor's technical support service only by contacting from the contact e-mail address or by contacting the Subscriber's personal account. Hosting reselling Subscribers are aware that they are fully responsible for compliance with these Terms of service, as well as the actions and placement of their customers' data.

4.15. The Subscriber is informed and agrees that in case of significant excess of the parameters of the chosen tariff plan of Virtual hosting, the Contractor reserves the right to independently increase the tariff plan of the subscriber hosting service to the minimum tariff of the tariff group selected by the Subscriber in which there will be no fact of exceeding any parameter of the hosting service.

The Contractor shall delete the hosting service if the latter is not renewed by the Subscriber within 20 days from the moment of shutdown. After that, the Contractor may for some time at its own discretion keep backup copies of the Subscriber's hosting service, but after a certain period of time, the Contractor performs a complete backup deletion.

5.7. The Subscriber agrees that without ordering an additional virtual server backup service, full backups of his VPS/VDS will not be created and any case of corruption of information on the server will be irreversible.

The period during which the server was unpaid or turned off, but at the same time retained for the Subscriber, is subject to full payment upon renewal.

5.19. The Subscriber is informed and understands that the use of dedicated servers without fault-tolerant disk subsystems RAID threatens the loss of data on the server due to the failure of the main hard disk or solid state drive. The Contractor shall not be liable for any loss of the Subscriber's data and shall not compensate any direct or indirect losses of the Subscriber in case of such a refusal. At the same time, the Contractor undertakes to replace the damaged media with a similar working drive at the time agreed with the Subscriber.

5.23. The Subscriber understands and agrees that if there is no timely payment for the collocation service for more than 2 (two) months, service can be reduced in the form of disconnecting the hosted equipment from the Internet and power supply. Changing the volume of the provided service does not affect the frequency and size of regular debits for the collocation.

5.24. The Subscriber understands and agrees that if there is no timely payment for the collocation service for more than 12 (twelve) months, the equipment placed as part of the unpaid service may become the property of the Contractor with the simultaneous termination of the current Agreement.
