described in these principles.

term "subscriber” shall mean applicant for whom NASK has registered and maintains
the domain.

is the name of a voivodship, poviate or gmina, and the Application has been
filed by someone other than an authorized government or self-government body,
NASK will deny the application
to register the domain name.

Applicant is solely subject
to the liability for the legal effects of filing a fictitious declaration
regarding the authority to use a domain name or giving false data in the
application.
6.
NASK shall remove the domain
name when it is supplied with a legally effective court decision confirming
the exclusive right to the domain name by a subject other than
subscriber.
7.
All disputes concerning the
rights to domain names shall be settled without NASK's
participation.

the necessity of removing or altering a name due to the introduction of laws
regarding domain registrations.

in the Application, for the consequences of giving false
