Dear Sir/Madam, The [BLACKLISTED-DOMAIN].COM domain name is in violation of Go Daddy’s Universal Terms of Service and Domain Name Registration agreement. Go Daddy recently discovered that the [BLACKLISTED-DOMAIN].COM domain name has been listed in the URIBL.COM blacklist. Go Daddy can also be blacklisted by URIBL.COM, or other blacklist providers, as a result of your actions which jeopardizes the level of service and connectivity Go Daddy provides to our other customers. This is, of course, unacceptable and must be resolved immediately. A screen shot of the URIBL.COM blacklisting record for your domain name has been attached to this message for your review. ****** IMPORTANT ****** An immediate response to this situation is needed if you wish to resolve this situation before the suspension of your domain name. This suspension deadline for your domain name expires 24 hours after the sending of this warning if you have not resolved this situation by then your domain name will be suspended. ****************************** Your options are as follows: ----- Option # 1: Have your domain name removed from the URIBL.COM blacklist within the next 24 hours. Visit URIBL.COM to request the removal of your domain name (you will need to create a login to do so). Follow their procedure(s) to remove your domain from the blacklist. Once this record has been removed, respond to this message with the following: 1. A statement that the domain name has been removed from the URIBL.COM blacklist. 2. A statement that your (or your clients, employees, affiliates, 3rd party marketers, etc.) actions will no longer result in the blacklisting of your domain names. 3. Authorization for GoDaddy.com to charge a $199 non-refundable abuse fee to the credit card on file for your account (you may want to log into your Go Daddy account and confirm that the card on file is valid and has not expired). ----- Option # 2: Transfer your domain name to another registrar. If the solution outlined in option #1 is not agreeable to you, or you are unable to comply with these terms, you will need to transfer your domain name to another registrar. You will need to provide the following in your reply: 1. A statement that you will initiate the transfer of your domain name to a new registrar within the next 24 hours. 2. Authorization for GoDaddy.com to charge a $75 administrative fee to the credit card on file for your account (again, you may want to log into your Go Daddy account and confirm that the card on file is valid and has not expired). ***** PLEASE NOTE ***** The organization that regulates domain name registrars, the Internet Corporation For Assigned Names and Numbers (aka ICANN), has mandated that newly registered domain names cannot be transferred during the first 60 days of their registration period. This requirement was put in place by ICANN to prevent fraudulent transfers and cannot be bypassed or waived for any reason. If your domain name was registered less than 60 days ago you will not be able to transfer it to another registrar, this domain name must be suspended until this 60 day period expires. ****************************** Any Go Daddy customer that violates Go Daddy's abuse policies must choose one of these options if they wish to resolve the situation. Your URIBL.COM blacklisting is particularly troubling due to the possibility that other Go Daddy customers could be affected. These options are not negotiable. The fees cannot be reduced or waived. Thank you for your cooperation, please let us know which option you intend to take. If you have questions or would like to discuss this situation via telephone please call 480-624-2505. Sincerely, Spam and Abuse Department GoDaddy.com 24/7 Abuse Department Hotline: 480-624-2505 ARID1022
