Only the "Authoritative Holder" (the entity listed as the registrant in the current domain name registration) of the domain name registration may initiate a request to transfer that domain name registration from another registrar to iDAQ. You hereby represent that you have the full and complete authority as the holder of the domain name registration to initiate such a transfer, or that you have been given full and complete authority by the Authoritative Holder of the domain name registration to initiate such a transfer. iDAQ, at its sole discretion, may require you to provide documentation that proves that the Authoritative Holder of the domain name initiated this transfer request. The request to transfer a domain name registration from another registrar to iDAQ may be denied:
during the first sixty (60) days after initial registration of the domain name with the original registrar;
in accordance with circumstances described in the Domain Name Dispute Policy;
if there is a pending bankruptcy of the domain name holder;
where there is a dispute over the identity of the domain name holder;
by operation of law; or
at the discretion of the then-current registrar.

It is the responsibility of the Authoritative Holder to ensure that the request to transfer will not be denied for any of the above reasons prior to initiating and paying for the registrar transfer services. Fees are not refundable, but can be applied to subsequent transfer requests at iDAQ's sole discretion.

Upon successful completion of the registrar transfer request, iDAQ shall immediately become the registrar of record. For non .uk names you will be required to extend your existing registration term for one (1) year from the date your existing registration is set to expire, provided that the total unexpired term of a registration does not exceed ten (10) years. If the transfer renewal would take the registration period over ten years then the additional year will not be applied.
