   Whereas:

     * RIPE NCC has, as a Regional Internet Registry (RIR), the
       authority to delegate Internet Protocol (IP) numbers and to
       provide related services in its service region (Europe, the
       Middle East, Central Asia and African countries located north
       of the equator);

     * RIPE NCC performs its activities for the benefit of the
       Contributor and other Internet Service 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 current
   version of the "RIPE NCC Activities, Expenditure and Charging
   Scheme" document.

   1.2 Contributor hereby acknowledges and accepts that it has
   obtained the right to use and the obligation to pay for the RIPE
   NCC services in accordance 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 Contributor becomes aware of
   such a situation.
       
Article 2 - Rights and Obligations

   2.1 Contributor acknowledges applicability of and adheres to the
   "RIPE NCC General Terms and Conditions".
                                                         
   2.2 Contributor acknowledges applicability of and adheres to the
   Internet Registry Policies and Procedures as outlined in the policy
   documents.
   
Article 3 - Finances
           
   3.1 RIPE NCC charges the RIPE NCC services to Contributor according
   to the current version of the "RIPE NCC Activities, Expenditure and
   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 adheres to
   the documented billing procedures, for the services of the RIPE NCC
   as specified in the current version of the "RIPE NCC Billing
   Procedure and Fee Schedule" document.
            
   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 current
   version of the "RIPE NCC Billing Procedure and Fee Schedule"
   document. New contributors will normally be categorised as
   SMALL. Contributor may request to be assigned to a billing category
   larger than the category designated by the principle described in
   the current version of the "RIPE NCC Billing Procedure and Fee
   Schedule" document.
   
   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 Contributor. The General 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.
   
Article 5 - General Remarks
   
   5.1 All the documents referred to in this service agreement are
   publicly available from the RIPE NCC document store. These
   documents which may be revised and updated from time to time, form
   an integral part of and apply fully to this service agreement. Each
   revised document will receive a new document number. As of 10
