Step 4 -- In
Production!
Registrar's
Agreement with Registrants
- Registrars are advised that compliance with the .ASIA
Registry-Registrar Agreement (RRA) would involve reviewing and amending
their existing Registration Agreements with the Registrant. The onus of
ensuring compliance with the RRA remains on Registrars.
- To assist you in meeting the requirements of the RRA,
we have provided you with a set of sample clauses covering those
provisions required for compliance. While these sample clauses are
provided for reference only, they are not legal advice from DotAsia
Organisation about how to meet your obligations under the RRA. You
should obtain independent legal advice in order to ensure that all of
your obligations under the RRA are met.
- Throughout the term of the RRA, DotAsia Organisation
reserves the right to request a copy of the Registration Agreement from
you in order to check for compliance with the RRA.
