The Domain Transfer Contract is essential for legally transferring ownership of domain names under German jurisdiction. This document is used when a domain owner (transferor) wishes to transfer their domain rights to another party (transferee), whether as part of a business transaction, company restructuring, or individual transfer. It ensures compliance with German telecommunications law, the German Civil Code (BGB), and data protection regulations while addressing technical transfer requirements. The contract includes crucial elements such as domain verification, transfer procedures, warranties of clean title, and compliance with DENIC regulations for .de domains. It's particularly important as domain names are considered digital assets under German law, requiring proper documentation and legal framework for ownership transfer.
