[QUOTE="404, post: 2350012, member: 322978482"] First off all, thank you for chiming in. Exactly the point. It is epiks own choice to enforce locks on transfers/ownership change. Like a lot of registrars, whenever you ask support they tell you it's a registry lock and it's mandatory as per ICANN regulations. It's not, as you just pointed out. Glad you cleared up that Epik enforces these locks whereas ICANN leaves registrants room to opt out as long as the registrar will present that option. So basically what you're saying is that because of your TOS you reserve the right denying a transfer once a domain is either pushed to your account or transferred in recently. Again, it's due to a registrars own policy as a registry will allow it, as long as the registrant/registrars chooses to opt out of locking down the domain. Thanks for clearing that up. And for security reasons it may actually make sense, in case a domain is stolen. When it's all too obvious a domains was not stolen, owned by Epik and bought by a client, what reason is there to deny a transfer? Since you have no problem selling a domain, pocketing a renewal and markup, why restrict the new owner in its usage of the legally owned property? To be clear, we're not talking about a domain transferred but one owned by Epik, bought at Epik and remained at Epik. It just doesn't make sense. You either enforce a policy, or you don't. While discussing this anyway, somewhat related. I've seen people make mention of you extending the lock period to 62 days. What's up with that? It's against ICANN policy and could land you guys in a whole new world of trouble. [/QUOTE]
