Lack of Partner's Choice before the expiry of the period, specified above, shall entitle NASK to terminate the Agreement by ceasing to Maintain the Domain Name, however, this termination may be preceded by the suspension of the Maintenance of the Domain Name after the lapse of the period specified above. When the Partner's Choice is made during the suspension, the Agreement shall be continued and the Regulations in this wording shall be effected for the Subscriber with the moment the Partner's Choice is made.

Irrespective of the above arrangements, the provisions of Articles 34-36 as for the Subscribers, bound by the Agreement, shall be effected from the date resulting from Article 33 of the Regulations, unless the Agreement has not been terminated under the provisions of that article.
