This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of your use of Hostinger's Change of Registrant services (the “Services”) to transfer a registered domain name from a current registrant (the “Current Registrant”) to a new registrant (the “New Registrant”), and applies to both the Current Registrant and the New Registrant. Your electronic acceptance of this Agreement signifies that you have read, understand, acknowledge and agree to be bound by this Agreement, along with Hostinger’s Universal Terms Of Service Agreement, Domain Name Registration Agreement, and Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, which are incorporated herein by reference. The terms “we”, “us” or “our” shall refer to Hostinger. The terms “you”, “your”, “User” or “customer” shall refer to any individual or entity who accepts this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer any third-party rights or benefits. Hostinger, in its sole and absolute discretion, may change or modify this Agreement, and any policies or agreements which are incorporated herein, at any time, and such changes or modifications shall be effective immediately upon posting to the Hostinger website (this “Site”). You acknowledge and agree that (i) Hostinger may notify you of such changes or modifications by posting them to this Site and (ii) your use of this Site or the Services found at this Site after such changes or modifications have been made (as indicated by the “Last Revised” date at the top of this page) shall constitute your acceptance of this Agreement as last revised.

2. THE CHANGE OF REGISTRANT PROCESS; Hostinger's ROLE

The Current Registrant and the New Registrant both agree they are entering into this Agreement of their own free will. The Current Registrant and the New Registrant acknowledge and agree Hostinger's sole role in connection with this Agreement is as processor of the transfer of the registration for the domain name and Hostinger's only responsibility under this Agreement will be to process the electronic transfer of the registration for the domain name. The Current Registrant and the New Registrant assume full responsibility for the legal validity of the transfer of the domain name. Once the Current Registrant initiates the change of registrant request, Hostinger will send a confirmation email to the New Registrant. You acknowledge and agree the New Registrant must log into its account and confirm the terms of the change of registrant transaction within ten (10) days of receipt of the confirmation email. In the event the New Registrant fails to confirm the terms of the change of registrant transaction within such ten (10) day period, you acknowledge and agree the transfer will not occur and both the transaction ID and the security code for the transfer shall expire, requiring the Current Registrant to begin the process anew. Upon completion of the change of registrant transaction, Hostinger will send an email to the Current Registrant confirming the change of registrant contemplated by this Agreement. If the Current Registrant has any objection to the change of registrant whatsoever, the Current Registrant assumes all responsibility for responding to such email and notifying Hostinger of any objection within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the email. The Current Registrant agrees to release, indemnify and hold Hostinger harmless for any issues that arise as a result of an improper change of registrant, whether intentionally or unintentionally initiated, whether by the Current Registrant or others acting on its behalf.

Please note the following:

1. By entering into a change of registrant transaction, you acknowledge and agree that the domain name may not be transferred to another domain name registrar within sixty (60) days after the completion of the change of registrant transaction (the “Transfer Prohibition Period"). Therefore, if either the Current Registrant or the New Registrant anticipate the need to transfer the domain name to another domain name registrar within sixty (60) days after completion of the change of registrant transaction, the Current Registrant and the New Registrant should make arrangements to transfer the domain name to the new domain name registrar first, and make any necessary changes to the domain name registrant second.
2. In addition, in the event the domain name is subject to a subsequent change of registrant transaction within the Transfer Prohibition Period, the Transfer Prohibition Period will begin again upon completion of the subsequent change of registrant transaction.

3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE CURRENT REGISTRANT AND THE NEW REGISTRANT

The individuals who electronically accept this Agreement on behalf of the Current Registrant and the New Registrant hereby represent and warrant that they have the right, power, legal capacity and appropriate authority to enter into this Agreement on behalf of the Current Registrant and the New Registrant, respectively, and that they have not transferred to any other person or entity any of the rights, claims or interests that are the subject of this Agreement.

5. RELEASE AND DISCHARGE

The Current Registrant (i) acknowledges and agrees that it is not entitled to receive any refunds and is not owed any monies in connection with the Registration Agreements, and (ii) hereby releases and discharges Hostinger from any and all liabilities and obligations to the Current Registrant in connection with the Registration Agreements.

7. ADDITIONAL LIMITATIONS ON Hostinger's LIABILITY
