11.5 Domain Name Transfers. If Customer has requested that the domain name registrar of record for Customer's domain name(s) (as identified by Customer during the registration process) be transferred to 1NOFRILLS and 1NOFRILLS hosting or registrar partners, the following terms shall apply: In making the transfer request, Customer represents and warrants that:
11.5.1 Customer is the rightful holder of the registration for the domain name(s) that Customer seeks to transfer.
11.5.2 Customer is not in default with respect to any obligations that Customer owes to the current registrar of record.
11.5.3 Customer is not the subject of any pending bankruptcy proceeding, nor is Customer a party to any dispute concerning the use or registration of the domain name(s).
11.5.4 The domain name(s) are not currently the subject of any dispute or collection effort, including any attachment, levy, lien, garnishment, escrow or other proceedings.
11.5.5 Customer is authorized to request the transfer and to enter into this Agreement.
More than sixty (60) calendar days have passed since the domain name(s) was registered, transferred to a new registrar, or renewed. CUSTOMER MAY NOT TRANSFER A DOMAIN NAME TO A NEW REGISTRAR WITHIN sixty (60) calendar DAYS OF INITIAL REGISTRATION, OR ANY SUBSEQUENT TRANSFER OR RENEWAL. Customer agrees that neither 1NOFRILLS nor 1NOFRILLS hosting or registrar providers will have any responsibility for any obligations that Customer may owe to the current registrar of record for the domain name(s) Customer seeks to transfer, and that Customer will be responsible, pursuant to the indemnification provision herein, for any costs that 1NOFRILLS may incur in resolving any claims brought by any third party (including the current registrar of record) relating to this transfer. Customer will not be entitled to a refund or credit for any amounts that Customer may have paid to the current registrar of record. Upon the completion of the transfer process, however, the term of Customer's registration will be extended by the period for which Customer has paid 1NOFRILLS. Customer agrees that 1NOFRILLS may charge Customer an additional maintenance fee in order to maintain Customer's domain name for any term carried over from the current registrar of record. Upon receipt of a request to transfer a domain name from another registrar (losing registrar) to 1NOFRILLS, 1NOFRILLS requires validation of the request from the Administrative Contact on record at the time of the transfer request. Customer authorizes 1NOFRILLS to take all actions reasonably necessary to transfer the domain name(s), including contacting and updating Customer's registration information with the current registrar of record and the registry. Except as noted above, 1NOFRILLS will treat Customer's transfer request as an initial domain name registration and will provide all subsequent domain name services in accordance with the terms and conditions herein. The term ‘register’ or ‘registration,’ as used in this Agreement, shall be read to include the transfer of a domain name registration from Customer's current registra of record to 1NOFRILLS or 1NOFRILLS registar partners.
11.6 Third-Party Proprietary Rights: Customer shall be solely responsible for ensuring, and hereby represents and warrants to 1NOFRILLS, that Customer's domain name does not infringe upon any trademarks, trade names, service marks, logos, other names and marks, and related product and service names, design marks and slogans, or other proprietary rights owned by a third party.
11.7 Domain name search process. 1NOFRILLS does not guarantee availability of domain names and the registration process is not complete until the domain name requested by Customer has been registered in Customer's name with the appropriate registry. Because there are delays in the actual registration of a domain name with the appropriate registry, 1NOFRILLS is not responsible if domain names requested by Customer are actually registered to third parties.
