Thread: Returning a domain name

Dear webtalk forums community,

I have a question regarding the return of a domain to a client but I was not able to find appropriate information so I hope someone here is able to help me out.

A client of mine asked me to register a domain and host his new website. He transfered me the 10 USD for the domain registration process via PayPal but we didn't have any written contract.

I did as requested for the domain part, registered it in his name but decided after some conflicts not to proceed with the hosting part so I unlocked the domain, provided him with the EEP code in order for him to use the domain somewhere else as I didn't want to have anything to do with it but now he "threatens" me that if I am not hosting his domain / website he will proceed on legal ways.

My question: What can I do to protect myself? Actually I never hosted a file for his new project - second he just paid for the domain but not for hosting and third I provided him with the EEP Code and the domain is still registered in his name.

Some advise or information to laws would be very much appreciated.

Thank you very much,
Pete

I would do nothing. I don't think he'll proceed in legal ways as it's just not worth it.
