Frequently asked

Domain Name Transfer Agreement Template — quick answers

What is a domain name transfer agreement?

A Domain Name Transfer Agreement is a contract that documents the transfer of ownership rights in a domain name from a current registrant (the “Seller” or “Transferor”) to a new owner (the “Buyer” or “Transferee”). It sets the domain being transferred, the price (if any), the transfer method, and deadlines.

What’s the difference between a domain sale and a domain transfer?

A “sale” usually involves payment and is a type of transfer. A “transfer” can also be a free transfer (for example, moving a domain between related companies). This template works for either and includes optional payment sections.

What should be included in a domain transfer agreement?

Include the domain name, registrar information, transfer authorization steps (EPP/auth code), purchase price (if applicable), timeline, who pays fees, warranties (seller owns and can transfer), and what happens if the transfer fails.

Should you use escrow for a domain transfer?

Often yes for higher-value domains. Escrow protects both sides by holding funds until the transfer is completed. This template includes an escrow option and a simple closing process.

Does a domain transfer include the website, email, or trademarks?

Not automatically. A domain transfer typically covers only the domain registration rights, unless the agreement also transfers the website content, hosting accounts, email accounts, trademarks, or related IP. This template includes an optional section to list included assets.
