3. Terms for Transferring Domain Names
Upon successful transfer, HostingDude.com shall become the Registrar of Record. You will still be the Registrant of the domain -- HostingDude.com will become the Registrar of the domain name. Your registration will be automatically extended by one year. Domain name registration transfers may only be initiated once acceptance of the transfer agreement is recorded, payment is made and the Administrative contact has responded positively to our email message asking for Permission to Transfer. The email message asking for Permission to Transfer will be sent to the Domain Name(s) Administrative Contact as identified in the previous Registrar's WHO-IS database. You agree to retain a copy for Your own records of the receipt for purchase of Your domain name. The Administrative Contact will be acting on behalf of the Registrant and has legal authority to initiate this transfer request. You are responsible for updating the Administrative Contact's email as identified in the previous Registrar's WHO-IS database.
4. Transfers of Recently Renewed Domain Names
You understand that if you are transferring a domain name that has been recently renewed there is the potential that the renewal year will be lost. The renewal year will be lost if:
the domain name was renewed during the forty-five (45) day grace period after the expiration date had passed; and
forty-five (45) days have not yet passed since that expiration date.
You understand and agree that HostingDude.com is not responsible for this lost year and that HostingDude.com will not credit that year to your domain. You will need to review the registration agreement you have with your previous registrar to determine if you are due a refund or credit for the lost year. Please contact your previous registrar if you have any questions about the lost year.
You understand and agree that HostingDude.com will not intervene in the recovery of any such lost registration years that occur during the transfer of your domain name.
