9.3. Client
agrees that any notices required to be given under this Agreement by

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

provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision

9.6. In the event

decision, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render this

to another person (the "Transferee") the Client shall

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

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.
