LIR Direct End User Assignment Agreement Requirements

Introduction

This page specifies the requirements that a contract or agreement between an LIR and an End User must meet. There are two relevant sections:

1. Policy requirements - these are requirements following directly from the RIPE policy. These requirements are mandatory and must be reflected in the agreement between the LIR and the End User
2. Contractual requirements - these are requirements in furtherance of the policy requirements. These requirements are mandatory and must be reflected in the agreement between the LIR and the End User

Policy requirements

• End User must specify and establish need for an independent resource assignment.
• End User must provide up-to-date registration information to the LIR; some or all data will be published in the RIPE Database.
• End User may not sub-assign resources to third parties.
• End User must pay an annual maintenance fee to the LIR for the resources.
• Resources will be returned by default to the RIPE NCC if the End User cannot be contacted or if the annual fee to the LIR is not paid.
• Use of the resources is subject to RIPE policies as published on the RIPE website. RIPE policies may be amended from time to time.
