Commentaries: Art. 38

The price which registrars must pay annually for the registration of a domain name and for administration of the data is fixed in the delegation contract.
When the delegation of tasks was the result of a tendering or invitation procedure under Article 32, the following rules apply:¹
1. the price shall correspond to the offer;
2. the offer price may be adapted during the term of delegation if the delegated tasks change; the difference in price is calculated based on the changes in costs arising from the change in tasks; the delegate submits an offer to OFCOM and provides proof of the change in costs; in order to examine the offer, OFCOM may use comparison values and may ask to be provided with any useful documents.
When the delegation of tasks takes place directly, the price covers the relevant costs of the Registry related to the catalogue of services agreed with OFCOM and additionally makes it possible to make an appropriate profit.
