authorized to register global Top Level Domains and who we, the reseller,
use to register domain names.
|
|
"current Registrant" means the person or entity which is the
presently the legal owner of the domain name.
|
|
"gaining Registrant" means the person or entity to which the
ownership of domain name is being transferred.

"Ownership" means ownership only by one person or entity and
excludes joint ownership (At this point in time the Policy for
Transfer of Domain Name ("the Policy") prohibits joint ownership).

A Transfer of Domain Name is used when you transfer the ownership of
a domain name to another person or organization.

The following types of transactions are transfers and require a Transfer
of a Domain Name:
|
- From a person to another person;
- From a company/organisation to another company/organisation;
- From a person to a company/organisation;
- From a company/organization to a person;
|
|
3.
Modifying the Owner and/or Administrative contact information or
other legal name change listed for a domain name does not change
ownership of the domain name. The only way to legally change ownership
of a domain name is to complete a Transfer of a domain name.
|
|
4.
Transfers can only occur between members who have registered a
domain name with our Registrar through our web site.
|
|
5.
Both the current and gaining Registrants must become our members
before any transfer of ownership can take place.
|
|

The Policy prohibits the transfer of a domain name to non-members.
If the gaining Registrant is not already our member they will have to
register as a member through our web site to join and obtain a Member ID.
|
|
7.
The current Registrant can only request to transfer to one other
Registrant at any one time.
|
|
8.
Only the current Registrant can initiate a transfer.
|
|
9.
If a domain name registered through us with our
Registrar is the subject of any litigation, and including
without limitation, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings,
trademark or other intellectual property dispute, dispute over the
identity of the Registrant or an administrative dispute, the matter
must be resolved with our Registrar prior to completing a Transfer of a
Domain Name.
|
|
10.
The gaining or incumbent registrant must also enter into a minimum
one (1) year registration term with us.
|
|
11.
Transfer must be supported by authorisation from the Administrative
contact.
|
|
12.
The remainder of existing registration term is transferred to the gaining
Registrant.
|
|
13.
The former Registrant will not receive a refund of any part of its
registration fee.
|
|
14.
If the Transfer of Domain Name is approved by our Registrar then
the current authorised Registrant of the domain name relinquishes all
ownership and any and all other rights to the domain name as of the
effective date of transfer.
|
|
15.
While a transfer request is pending the current Registrant will only
have access to the following administrative functions:
|
- Perform a renewal on a Domain Name
- Revoke a Transfer Request
|
|
16.
The current Registrant will have an opportunity to revoke a transfer
only under the following circumstances:
|
- Within the first five (5) days, regardless of whether our Registrar's
administrator has either approved or denied the transfer;
- If the gaining Registrant has decided to reject the transfer.
|
|
17.
Once our Registrar's administrator has approved the transfer, the gaining
Registrant has only five (5) days to log in and accept the transfer.
The five (5) day count begins as soon as the transfer has been approved.
|
|
18.
Once the current Registrant initiates a transfer request and the gaining
Registrant has decided to reject the transfer, the current Registrant
cannot make or attempt to make any more transfers for the same domain
name for 30 days.
|
|
19.
There may be circumstances where a domain name must be transferred to
an entity not registered through us with our Registrar.
The transfer may be:
|
- Ordered by a court;
- Transferred between the parties.
- Devolved by will.
|
|
Responsibility of current Registrant:
|
|
20.
Each Registrant shall maintain its own records appropriate to document
and prove the initial domain name registration date, regardless of the
number of Registrars with which the Registrant enters into a contract
for registration services.
|
|
21.
The current Registrant must obtain the gaining Registrant's member ID
before proceeding with the transfer.
|
|
22.
The current Registrant must also decide upon a "confirmation password"
that they will have to give the gaining Registrant. The password is used
to make the transfer process more secure.

Responsibility of the gaining Registrant:
|
|
23.
Each Registrant shall maintain its own records appropriate to document

number of Registrars with which the Registrant enters into a contract
for registration services.

|
24.
The gaining Registrant must be an existing member through our web site
and therefore must have a member ID.
|
|

The gaining Registrant must also remember the "confirmation password"
that is given to them by the current Registrant. They will be prompted
to enter this password after they log in.
