[QUOTE="ncabete, post: 2350011, member: 322975492"] Hello, To clear up, there are some 60-days transfer locks which are applied at the registry level and it's application depends entirely on the registry. Registrars, on the other hand, MAY or MAY NOT also apply locks [URL='https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/about-icann-faqs-2019-02-25-en']according to ICANN[/URL]: [I](...) Registrars must impose a lock that will prevent any transfer to another registrar for sixty (60) days following a change to a registrant's information. Registrars [B]may (but are not required to) allow registrants to opt out of the 60-day lock prior to the change of registrant request[/B]. Contact your registrar to see if they will allow you to opt out of the 60-day lock period (...)[/I] At Epik, changing your WHOIS information does not trigger a lock, but if your domain suffers from an ownership change recently (or a transfer in, even if the owner didn't change) - a 60-day transfer locks gets enacted. This lock [U]MAY or MAY NOT[/U] be waived, whether due to reasons beyond Epik or due to internal policies (which our Terms of Service state). Transfer locks historically exist to stop stolen domains from registrar hopping, however they also pose a liability for the registrar that decides to waive them, and although we are, at times, flexible when it comes to waiving locks (that we can), that's an exception to the rule and [B]not the rule, [/B]and we're not able to fulfill that every time for every domain. Internal pushes are not subject to 60-day transfer locks, which means a domain can be pushed even if it's within the 60-day transfer lock - to some, that may be a solution. Hope this brings in more clarity. [/QUOTE]
