Re: protection from non paying clientel

[Jack Broughton]

As a thought on this issue (which I'd be interested in others' analysis 
of) what is to stop an RSP who elects to allow clients to register 
domains on credit to insert a clause stating that the domain(s) 
registered in this manner will be transferred to the requesting client 
upon payment in full?

So unlike the situation that Robert got caught in the domain name owner 
would be shown to be TigerTech until such time as he gets his money?  I 
realize this is twice the work to later have to change the registrant 
info but allowing domains to be billed for after the fact is still more 
work.

I'm not sure what the grace period is for chargebacks but perhaps the 
clause could indicate that domains paid by credit card will have their 
registrant info changed after two weeks (or whatever the chargeback 
window of opportunity is).

If the client is agreeing to this approach as part of the registration 
request process then it is all above board isn't it?  Affords the RSP a 
greater degree of protection too.

For some reason I think we've been all around this one before but I 
wouldn't mind a refresher on it.
