Hey everyone,
This isn't entirely a dispute (yet) but there doesn't seem a better place to post, so apologies if this is in the wrong place.
I sold a domain a few months back, and changed the TAG while sending the Nominet transfer forms as the buyer wanted to use the domain straight away. Problem is that the buyer still hasn't sent the forms off, despite repeated requests to do so.
The site he's set up is concerned with property rentals. My worry is that if someone has a problem with a transaction on that site and seeks legal recourse, as I'm still down as the domain owner when a whois search is performed (even though I've sold it) then I may be dragged into any such dispute.
Are my fears justified, or am I just being paranoid? If I am right to be concerned, Nominet advised surrendering the domain. Is this reasonable? If there's little to worry about, any ideas on the best course of action?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards,
Mike.
