The Effective Date of this Agreement shall be the date that Registrar completes EMLtd's registrar signup process. 
The agreement is concluded for a period of one year starting from the signing of it. For the calculation of this period, 
the date of signature will be considered to coincide with the first day of the month following the month in which the 
agreement was signed by the Registrar unless the signature took place on the first day of the month itself in which case 
this date will be regarded as the date of signature.

At the end of its term, the agreement will be automatically extended for subsequent periods of one year unless a party 
notifies the other party in writing no later than 2 months before the end of the agreement's term that he does not want to 
extend the agreement or that he wants to change the conditions of the agreement.


5.2 Termination upon loss of EMLtd's registration authority

This agreement will terminate immediately if EMLtd may no longer grant licenses to use domain names for whatever reason. 
The Registrar cannot hold EMLtd responsible for damage resulting from this termination, unless the termination is due to 
EMLtd's gross negligence or fraud.

EMLtd will immediately inform the Registrar of any fact brought to its attention, that may reasonably cause the termination
of EMLtd's registration authority.

At the termination of its registration authority, EMLtd shall use its best efforts to:

·  facilitate the continuation or the transfer of the existing contracts between EMLtd and the Registrar at the 
   termination date;
·  obtain a notice period before the termination of its registration authority.

8. EFFECTS OF TERMINATION

Even after termination, the Registrar must pay the fees that were due before termination.

EMLtd will transfer the domain names of the Registrar whose agreement has been terminated to other registrars upon the 
request of that Registrar or the person who is entitled to represent him. In such case EMLtd will charge the transfer fee 
to the deposit account and the balance of the deposit account will be reimbursed to the Registrar. EMLtd may claim full 
compensation for the costs incurred, if they exceed the deposit account balance.

If the agreement is terminated and for as much as a the Registrar doesn't succeed to accomplish a transfer of the domain 
names he has in his custody to other registrars within one month following the termination of the agreement, EMLtd must 
inform the licensees that their domain names have been put on hold under the registration agreement.  

If the licensee designates another registrar, EMLtd will charge the renewal fees to the new registrar when the license 
concluded through the old registrar ends. If the licensee does not appoint another registrar, EMLtd will terminate the 
license of the domain name at the end of its term. The domain name will remain on hold for the longer of:

(a) three months after the notice asking licensees to designate a new registrar; or
(b) two months after the termination of the license.

While the domain name is on hold, the licensee may appoint another registrar. The latter should be, or apply to become, 
a DocumNIC TLD accredited registrar and restore any terminated licenses.

The Registrar may assign rights under this agreement to a third party if the Registrar informs EMLtd in writing no later 
than one month before the assignment becomes effective. The old registrar and the assignee are jointly and separately
