However, You accept that any request to transfer any gTLD domain will require a Transfer IN Fee which is charged per domain name, at the amount relevant to that particular domain extension (all prices displayed exclude VAT, charged at 20%). AWS will not transfer ownership of a Requested Domain until all Fees attributable to the services associated with the account, which are due, have been paid by You to AWS. 2.5 That AWS are not in a position to transfer domains or change the ownership of a domain name where trademark disputes are concerned. Clients agree to direct their dispute through the relevant domain resolution procedures with the appropriate governing body. 2.6 That in the event that AWS receives a complaint in regards to trademark / brand infringement, AWS has the right to place the domain on hold and move into the AWS holding account. AWS shall take this action if in receipt of a decision from a Domain Dispute Resolution and/or a settlement agreement between the parties concerned. Any renewal payments must be paid to AWS by You. 2.7 That any communication You receive from a third party in relation to the disputed domain name has not been a result of AWS disclosing contact details to the third party.

AWS shall not move the domain from this status until it is satisfied that the dispute has been resolved between the parties concerned, with documentation provided to AWS by both parties proving the same. This documentation must include a court order, an email/letter/legal document from the current domain holder and the complainant both stipulating the transfer of the domain to the complainant. 3.3 Take no immediate action in the event that documentation received does not match the WHOIS details of the disputed domain. 3.4 Not be liable for any unsolicited mail from third parties, including those that may relate to the disputed domain name.
