This Agreement governs the process of transferring a registered domain name from another registrar to Microvera. By agreeing, you authorize Microvera to act as the new registrar of record for your domain.

The terms “registry” or “Registry Operator” refer to the entity responsible for managing the applicable top-level domain (TLD) or country-code top-level domain (ccTLD).

  3. Update the Administrative Contact’s email address at your current registrar to ensure they can approve the transfer request.
  4. Microvera will email the Administrative Contact for transfer approval.

After the transfer is complete, you will have full control over your domain, including the ability to renew and manage DNS settings, via Microvera’s Member Area.

2.D. Transfers of Recently Renewed Domains

  3. Contact your previous registrar to address any concerns regarding lost renewal years.
