This Agreement shall be effective along with Host Reseller Group' Universal Customer Agreement. To complete the domain transfer process, You must acknowledge that You have read, understood and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions contained of this Agreement, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") Policy on Transfer of Registrations between Registrars (the "Transfer Policy") found here at http://www.icann.org/transfers/policy-12jul04.htm, the ICANN Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Transfer Dispute Policy") found here at http://www.icann.org/transfers/dispute-policy-12jul04.htm along with all modifications and additions thereto, as well as any other dispute policy that may be applicable.


Additionally, You also agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement for transactions entered into on Your behalf by anyone acting as Your Agent, and transactions entered into by anyone who uses the account You have established with Host Reseller Group, whether or not the transactions were entered into on Your behalf.

 

1. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF DOMAIN NAME

 

You agree that the following restrictions will apply to any domain name transferred by You:

  • The domain name is within the first sixty (60) days of an initial registration period and hence precluded from transfer by the Transfer Policy;
  • The domain name is within sixty (60) days after being transferred and hence precluded from transfer by the Transfer Policy;
  • You or Host Reseller Group have locked the domain name (You can initiate the domain name transfer only after You have unlocked the domain name Yourself. You can unlock the domain name by going to Your Manage Account on the Limedomains.com website);
  • The domain name is within the 'redemption period' or within the 'pending delete state'.

It is expressly clarified that only restriction (d) above will be applicable to any transfer of a .EU/.UK domain name, as the .EU registry does not support restrictions (a), (b) or (c) above. Further, as the .WS registry does not support the transfer of domain names between registrars, a .WS domain name cannot be transferred under any circumstance.



You also agree that Your request for domain name transfer may be denied by Host Reseller Group in the following specific circumstances as provided in the Transfer Policy:

  • Evidence of fraud;
  • UDRP Policy; and
  • Court order by a court of competent jurisdiction.
 

2. DOMAIN NAME TRANSFER PROCEDURE

 

For initiating a domain name transfer, You are required to complete Host Reseller Group' online transfer application request which may be found at Host Reseller Group' website Limedomains.com taking care to provide all the information requested therein. Upon completion of the online transfer application request, You will be directed to the 'proceed to payment' page for payment of the required domain transfer fee.



Upon completion of the transfer application request and payment of the required domain transfer fee, Host Reseller Group will e-mail Your administrative contact for obtaining transfer approval. The transfer will be initiated once Your acceptance of this Agreement is recorded, the transfer payment has been made by You and the administrative contact has agreed to Host Reseller Group' e-mail request of transfer. You understand and agree that the domain name transfer will be initiated only upon Host Reseller Group receiving approval from the administrative contact of Your domain name. You understand that a transfer request will be accepted or denied by the losing Registrar within five (5) days of the initiation thereof.






Upon successful transfer of the domain name, You will be able to perform all functions normally by logging into Your account panel on the Limedomains.com website in the manner as You would normally do had You purchased the domain name from Host Reseller Group.



You understand and agree that only the legal registrant of a domain name may initiate a request to transfer that domain name from the current Registrar to Host Reseller Group or from Host Reseller Group to the gaining Registrar, as the case may be. You hereby represent that You have all requisite authority as the legal registrant of the domain name to initiate this transfer. Host Reseller Group, at its sole discretion, may require You to provide documentation evidencing You as the legal registrant of the domain name and the initiation of the transfer request by You.
