Registrants whose seat, residence or contact address is outside the European Union or the European Economic Area (EU/EEA), must provide a contact address in the EU/EEA region or designate a representative with such an address upon request of the registry, upon judicial request, request by an executive authority, an arbiter, the arbitration court or an administrator or expert under the Rules of Alternative Dispute Resolution, or designate a representative with a mailing address within the EU/EEA at which the Registrants may receive mail relating to Domain Names. Failure to provide such a contact address may result in the suspension or deletion of the domain by the registry. It is not required to provide such an address upon registration.
