As you may already be aware, ResellerClub is a US based entity and we are bound by law to adhere to the directives of the United States government. As a result of recent developments, we will no longer be able to support partners and clients from the state of Crimea and hence we will be unable to service any transactions with individuals and/or companies located in this region.
We have conducted an audit of all accounts on our platform based on account details including ZIP Code, Country , State, IP Address etc. to determine the list of clients from the above mentioned region. Based on the results of this audit, we have 2 possible segments of clients who could be impacted:
- Direct Resellers who are from Crimea
- Resellers who are not from Crimea, but have sub-resellers or customers from Crimea
We have considered the below conditions from your account details as an indicator of your business being based in Crimea:
- State listed as Crimea
- Cities from the Crimean region
- Country listed as Crimean Republic
- Zip codes with first few digits between 95 to 99 or between 295-299 and country as Russia or Ukraine
Please read the section below that is relevant to you for more details on these changes.
Direct Resellers from Crimea
We have determined that your company is located in the region listed above and hence we will have to cease providing our services to you. We cannot express how grateful we are for having had the opportunity to do business with you over all these years but unfortunately our hands are tied in this scenario. We assure you that we will assist you in making this transition to another provider easier.
If you believe that you have been incorrectly flagged as a business operating from the above listed region, please furnish a copy of government authorized documentation on an email to compliance@resellerclub.com so that we can evaluate the validity of the same and decide on whether we can legally continue to do business with you. Please note that only the following documents will be accepted as valid proof – ID Proof for individual or registered business issued by your government which shows your residence / company address.

Hence we strongly recommend that you transfer your domains out to another provider who can support services in your region.
Our system will continuously assess the country of operation of all our Resellers, Sub Resellers and Customers by making checks on country data as filed with us, IP addresses, bank accounts etc. to ensure that we conform to the US regulations.
