Unfortunately when I bought a domain (airlinemogul.com) I didn't bother buying the .net and .org aswell. These were subsequenty bought up and redirected towards what would be a competitors site. After a significant period of time I managed to get an agreement to transfer the domains to my ownership. But the other person stuck in a very random clause as he accused a member of my website of circulating false rumours. I was concerned about the wording of the following:

The fact that in order to get the domains transferred over, I need to maintain good relations is a bit much in my opinion. That if there was ever a disagreement there would be implications for the domains? Could anyone suggest a better approach to the above quote which would prevent the need for "good relation" or something a bit more logical?

If you are paying for the domains that clause is ridiculous.

Do you have rights in the name in question?

I have the name registered as a business name with the CRO. (Airline Mogul) And yes I am paying for the domains. When I said I didn't want to sign the agreement and seek legal advise the other person immediately said to change it to whatever I wanted. I think he realises its not something that is supposed to go in there either.

I'm not a solicitor, so I'd recommend you speak to one, however I wouldn't be happy signing anything with that sort of clause in there. I don't see how my purchase of goods should be dependent on some fluffy business relationship thing

Any recommendations on a firm that would be good in this situation? I was given a few for intellectual property but have yet to contact them about one of my projects...

Well I let the domains expire as opposed to enter that agreement. The domains were bought up and have the usual ads now sitting on them, would the likes of $60 from GoDaddy to negotiate purchase of a domain be regarded as too much? Is there a better deal available elsewhere?

$60 for a domain is nothing. Drop in the ocean etc.,

Agreed.

How much do you think the solicitor would have charged you for a consult?

I'd buy them before someone else reads this and realises that they are very valuable (to you at least).

I think he's talking about paying $60 to Godaddy to try and broker the sale, not buying the domains for $60.

If it's the first option, I'd avoid Godaddy.
