Domain name sale agreement
This agreement may be used in relation to the sale of a domain name, or a collection of domain names, by one person or company to another.
The agreement includes provisions allowing for the price to be held in escrow by a third party, pending the completion of the transfer of the domain name.
Different domain name extensions are regulated by different bodies and you will need to ensure that your transfer complies with the applicable rules of the relevant body. For example, you will need to ensure that the buyer is qualified to hold the domain name or domain names.
