Article 9
Reasons for the Deletion of an assigned '.gr' Domain Name
A '.gr' Domain Name shall be definitely deleted when one or more of the following limitedly defined cases apply:
a. If the Holder requests the deletion in an Application filed with the Registry, which must be submitted no later than 30 days prior to the expiry of the Domain Name.
b. IPSO jure or upon a complaint made by a third party that has a vested legal interest, which shall be examined within the framework of the Hearing Regulation of EETT, in the following limited cases:
i. if the assignment application was not accurate, except if the ‘.gr’ Domain Name was assigned prior to and until 30.12.2002;
ii. If the specific '.gr' Domain Name in question is made up of alphanumeric elements making up a point that is not distinctive in nature, except if the '.gr' Domain Name was assigned prior to and until 30.12.2002;
iii. If there is a reason that would allow the Assignment of the specific ‘.gr’ Domain Name in question pursuant to article 8 of this present Decision. As an exception to this present provision, any ‘.gr’ Domain Names assigned prior to and until 30.12.2002 shall remain valid and shall be renewed irrespective of any potential contradiction thereof with article 8 of this present Decision;
iv. in the case where the Holder has failed to take prompt action in order to notify a potential change made in the assignment information which was provided in the assignment application, pursuant to this present Decision;
v. if the application for the assignment of a Domain Name was made in violation of the principles of good faith, except if the ‘.gr’ Domain Name was assigned prior to and until 30.12.2002;
vi. in the case where the Holder uses the ‘.gr’ Domain Name in a way that is contrary to the principles of good faith or is malicious, and especially when the Holder has permitted or tolerated the use by a third party of the same ‘.gr’ Domain Name or a 3rd or higher level ‘.gr’ Domain Name that comprises the ‘.gr’ Domain Name assigned to the Holder in such a way that would constitute a reason for deleting the ‘.gr’ Domain Name, pursuant to this present article;
vii. in the case where the Holder cpr144449003101 is a legal person and has been dissolved;
viii. in the case where the Holder is a natural person and has passed away, provided that the executors of the person’s will or the person’s legal heirs do not request, within 6 months from the date of death of the natural person, the change of the full name or corporate name of the ‘.gr’ Domain Name Holder due to universal succession, pursuant to Annex I of this present Decision;
ix. after a final decision is issued by a competent public authority or court of law that is executable in Greece, or a corresponding decision made by an arbitration body that is executable in Greece, which orders the deletion of the specific Domain Name in question;
x. if the Domain Name Holder, in the case where the Registrar ceases its operations, pursuant to articles 17 and 18 of this present Decision, does not appoint a new Registrar within the deadline set in article 18, par. 13 and 15;
xi. If the Variable Field of a second level Domain Name is identical with the name of a municipal district or the historic name of a Local Government Organization.
In the case where a name is deleted or temporarily deactivated, any form of the assigned Domain Name that is automatically reserved pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 of article 3 of this present Decision shall also be deleted and temporarily deactivated.
Article 10
Temporary deactivation of an assigned '.gr' Domain Name
A '.gr' Domain Name shall be temporarily deactivated in the case where a court decision executable in Greece is issued, which enforces its temporary non-use until the issuance of a decision executable in Greece by a competent public authority or a court of law or an arbitration decision executable in Greece.
In the case where a '.gr' Domain Name is deleted or temporarily deactivated, then any 3rd or higher level '.gr' Domain Names that comprise the deleted or temporarily deactivated ‘.gr’ Domain Name shall also cease to be used or shall be temporarily deactivated depending on the case.
