PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO DOMAIN NAME TRANSFERS.
This Domain Name Transfer Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between you ("Registrant," "you," or "your") and 10Corp Web Services LLC ("10Corp," "we," "us," or "our"). This Agreement governs all domain name transfers processed through 10Corp's platform, whether you are transferring a domain to 10Corp from another registrar, transferring registrant ownership, or transferring a domain away from 10Corp. By initiating or approving any transfer, you agree to be bound by this Agreement and all applicable ICANN policies.
1. Transfer-In: Transferring a Domain to 10Corp
A. Authorization
You represent and warrant that you are the current registrant of the domain name or are expressly authorized by the registrant to initiate the transfer. You agree to provide accurate Authorization Codes (EPP/Auth-Codes) as required. Providing false or unauthorized transfer requests may result in immediate account suspension and legal liability.
B. Fees and Renewal
Transfer-in requests are subject to applicable transfer fees displayed at time of transfer. Pursuant to ICANN policy, successful transfers of most gTLDs will extend the domain registration by one (1) year from the existing expiration date. All transfer fees are non-refundable once the transfer has been completed, except as provided in our Refund Policy.
C. 60-Day Transfer Lock
Following a successful inbound transfer, your domain will be subject to a 60-day inter-registrar transfer lock in accordance with ICANN's Transfer Policy. This lock also applies after certain registrant information changes. You should plan accordingly if you intend to transfer the domain to another registrar shortly after completing an inbound transfer.
D. Transfer Timeline
The transfer process typically takes five (5) to seven (7) calendar days from submission of the transfer request to the losing registrar. During this period, your domain continues to function under the previous registrar's management. You are responsible for ensuring the domain does not expire during a pending transfer.
2. Transfer-Out: Transferring a Domain Away from 10Corp
A. Your Right to Transfer
You have the right to transfer your domain name to any other ICANN-accredited registrar. 10Corp will not prevent or unreasonably delay a legitimate transfer request. We will act on transfer requests within five (5) calendar days of receipt, in accordance with ICANN's Transfer Policy.
B. Authorization Code
To initiate an outbound transfer, you must request your domain's Authorization Code through your 10Corp account dashboard. This code will be provided promptly and at no charge. 10Corp reserves the right to deny a transfer request only under the following ICANN-permitted circumstances:
- Evidence of fraud or pending legal dispute;
- Active UDRP action against the domain;
- Valid court order placing the domain on lock or hold;
- Reasonable dispute over the identity of the registrant;
- Domain is within 60 days of initial registration or of a prior inter-registrar transfer;
- Domain registration period has expired.
C. Registrar Lock
By default, all domains at 10Corp are protected with a Registrar Lock (Client Transfer Prohibited status). You must disable this lock via your account control panel before initiating any outbound transfer. We strongly recommend keeping this lock enabled at all times to protect against unauthorized transfers.
3. ICANN Transfer Policy Compliance
All transfers processed by 10Corp comply with the ICANN Registrar Transfer Policy. Key provisions include:
- Form of Authorization (FOA): 10Corp will send a Form of Authorization to the registrant's email address on file for all transfer requests;
- 5-Day Response Window: If no response is received within five (5) calendar days, the transfer may proceed as approved by default;
- Dispute Window: Unauthorized transfer disputes must be filed within 180 days of transfer completion per the ICANN Registrar Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy.
4. Representations and Warranties
By initiating or approving a domain transfer through 10Corp, you represent and warrant that:
- You are the registrant of record or are expressly authorized to act on behalf of the registrant;
- All information provided in connection with the transfer is accurate and complete;
- The transfer does not violate any applicable law, regulation, court order, or third-party rights;
- You have not initiated this transfer as part of any fraudulent scheme or unauthorized activity;
- You understand that completed transfers may not be reversible without a formal dispute process.
5. Limitations on Liability
10Corp shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or expense arising from: delays caused by the registry or the losing/gaining registrar; your failure to maintain accurate registrant contact information; domain expiration occurring during a pending transfer; or any unauthorized transfer resulting from your failure to maintain the security of your account credentials or Authorization Codes. IN NO EVENT SHALL 10CORP'S TOTAL LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE TOTAL TRANSFER FEES PAID TO 10CORP IN CONNECTION WITH THE AFFECTED DOMAIN.
6. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless 10Corp Web Services LLC, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claim, liability, loss, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: your use of the domain transfer services; any breach of this Agreement; any false or fraudulent transfer request made through your account; or any dispute between you and a third party regarding ownership or control of a domain name.
7. Governing Law
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any dispute that cannot be resolved through our support channels shall be subject to binding arbitration, except where injunctive relief is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction.
8. Amendments
10Corp reserves the right to modify this Agreement at any time to comply with ICANN requirements or applicable law. Continued use of our transfer services following notification of changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
