* To exchange goods, services, or property of any kind;
* In the ordinary course of trade or business; or
* To facilitate

.BIZ Transfers are possible. Upon successfully transfering a .BZ domain, it is automatically renewed for one year. The registration period is extended by one year.
* .BIZ Domain-Transfers can either be processed through the RRPproxy WebInterface or API.
* After the transfer has been requested, our backend system sends a confirmation email to the Owner/Admin-C according to the WHOIS of the respective domain. In order to initiate the transfer successfully it is important, that this email is confirmed.
* After confirmation the transfer is initiated through the official registry and the losing registrar will receive the transfer request.
*The losing registrar will also send an email to the Owner/Admin-C. allowing him/her to deny the transfer. If you do not respond to the email of the losing registrar, then the transfer will get processed successfully after 5 days.
If the Email-Address in the WHOIS is invalid, then the transfer cannot be processed.If this is the case, then kindly contact your current registrar and ask him to update the WHOIS information accordingly.
* A .BIZ Domain Transfer must be initiated with a so-called "Authorisation Code", which can be obtained from the current registrar through the owner or Admin-C of the domain.
* Ensure that your respective domain does not have a lock-status (REGISTRAR-LOCK or HOLD). This can be seen in the WHOIS. If the domain is locked, then the owner can demand that this be unlocked.
* Please note that we are only allowed to initiate a gTLD transfer after confirmation of the "ICANN Form of Authorization" by the current registrant. The policies can be viewed under http://www.icann.org/transfers/
A transfer of .BIZ domain usually takes 5 to 10 days.
