Thanks, a bit lost as to what to do as this was a very important domain for me. Both on a professional and emotional level. Do you think I'd still be able to sue despite the fine print?
You'll need to ask a lawyer.
I don't know because I haven't read their fine print recently. Like I said, I moved my domains years ago.
But just because they say something in the fine print doesn't mean it will stand up in court.
Good old contracts of adhesion.
I wonder if there’s a domain-name equivalent of Lis Pendens [0] that would prevent the sale of the domain.
Meanwhile, deal with a different registrar. I moved most of my stuff off GoDaddy years ago.
