I have a couple of domains registered through a GoDaddy subsidiary, and they do send out 90-day renewal notices.
there is a certain amount of CYA in the legalese mostly because they don't want to be liable for __anything__. That said, I've moved my purchasing to Yahoo Small Business for new domains as their prices are reasonable and I perceive them to be fair and reliable.

I am going thru the godaddy registration for a name I have chosen and getting stuck in the legalese. According to what I am paying for they are supposed to shield my email address from the public. Yet in their legal agreement it says this info is made public (as required by ICANN). Huh? It is not clear if I am notified when my name comes up for renewal. If not, they charge $80 to hold it for me. Lovely. Under dispute resolution they say they can change their policy and I will be bound by it. They will not notify me, but I must check their web site for any changes. Unreal! We are talking about long legalese documents, and they won't even tell me when it changes? Well, I haven't gotten very deep into the legal crap, and already I am having second thoughts. For one thing, there is too much crap to read. And the way they describe it I would have to read it every 30 days. Not worth it.
