The Standard
RIPE NCC Service Agreement
____________________________________________________
Whereas:
* RIPE NCC has, as Regional Internet Registry
(RIR), the authority to delegate Internet Pro-
tocol (IP) numbers for Europe and surrounding
areas and to provide related services;
* RIPE NCC performs its activities for the bene-
fit of the Contributor and other Internet Ser-
vice Providers (ISPs), and therefore observes
strict neutrality and impartiality with respect
to individual service providers;
* Contributor wishes to obtain IP numbers from
RIPE NCC as well as related services.
Have agreed as follows:
Article 1 - Scope of the Agreement
1.1 RIPE NCC hereby undertakes to provide the RIPE
NCC services to Contributor as defined by the RIPE
NCC membership in the "RIPE NCC Activities & Expen-
diture" document.
1.2 Contributor hereby acknowledges and accepts
that it has obtained the right to use and the obli-
gation to pay for the RIPE NCC services in accor-
dance with this agreement.
1.3 Contributor acknowledges and accepts that it
shall automatically become a (candidate) member of
RIPE NCC by signing this agreement, unless there are
statutory provisions imposed upon Contributor that
prohibits Contributor to become a (candidate) member
of the RIPE NCC. In the latter case, Contributor
shall notify RIPE NCC immediately when the Contribu-
tor becomes aware of such a situation.
Article 2 - Rights and obligations
2.1 Contributor acknowledges applicability of and
adheres to the "General Terms and Conditions of RIPE
NCC".
2.2 Contributor acknowledges applicability of and
adheres to the Internet Registry Policies and Proce-
dures as outlined in the "European Internet Registry
Policies and Procedures" document.

Article 3 - Finances
3.1 RIPE NCC charges the RIPE NCC services to Con-
tributor according to the "RIPE NCC Charging Scheme"
document as adopted by the membership. Contributor
agrees to adhere to the RIPE NCC Charging Scheme.
3.2 Contributor commits to pay the agreed tariffs,
and adhere to the documented billing procedures, for
the services of the RIPE NCC as specified in the
"RIPE NCC Billing Procedure and Fee Schedule" docu-
ment.
3.3 If RIPE NCC renders any additional services to
Contributor, these additional services shall be
charged separately on the basis of the then current
tariffs of RIPE NCC.
3.4 There are different billing categories listed
in the "RIPE NCC Billing Procedure and Fee Schedule"
document. New contributors will normally be cate-
gorised as SMALL. Contributor may request to be
assigned to a billing category larger than the cate-
gory designated by the principle described in the
"RIPE NCC Billing Procedure and Fee Schedule" docu-
ment.
3.5 The RIPE NCC will maintain a clearing-house.
For that purpose RIPE NCC and Contributor agree that
RIPE NCC maintains a current account for Contribu-
tor. The Generals Terms and Conditions outline the
rights and obligations pursuant to the clearing-
house.
Article 4 - Term and termination of the agreement
4.1 This agreement enters into force when signed by
both parties.
4.2 This agreement has been entered into for an
indefinite period of time, unless terminated by
either party with a notice period of three months.
