Transfer Ownership

This a feature on the iTem Registry platform that allows you transfer the ownership of an item to another individual.

This is useful for both Individuals & Businesses:

  1. Individuals: When you are giving your Phone, Car, or other valuable item with a unique identification number to a family member / friend or selling to an outsider, it is important you officially document the transfer using this feature.

    - It serves as a digital signature, evidence that the item no longer belongs to you, protecting you from the Risk Of Ownership.Example: Mr. A sells his personal phone to Mr. B without officially documenting the transfer using Item Registry.

    Mr. B uses the phone to commit a crime. Phone is obtained by the police and traced to the Innocent Owner Mr. A. Liability falls on Mr. A because there is no evidence to show item ownership was transferred to a new owner.

  2. Businesses: For Secondhand Outlets, using this feature creates trust between you and your customers.

    It gives your customers confidence in your products as using the Item Registry Platform you are publicly declaring yourself as the owner of the item and entering a digital contract of sale (Ownership Transfer).
