As a registrar, what responsibility do I bear for my subregistrars?

Updated 22 May, 2020

The registrar bears full responsibility to The Swedish Internet Foundation for the actions of subregistrars concerning domain names and registration services.

In accordance with the information material and the agreement, subregistrars may be used by registrars as resellers who accept assignments from registrants on behalf of registrars.

Nevertheless, if a registrar uses a reseller, said registrar remains party to the agreement with the registrant. Accordingly, the registrar’s name must always be communicated by the subregistrar to the registrant.
