I just got an e-mail from NameJet that they were taking back my domain I purchased after 80 days. Is this part of their terms of service? I had thought 40 days was the max they were allowed to go in and take back. The name is registered at Fabulous Names. Is this legal?

This doesn't seem right, they are not connected with Fabulous so not sure how they can get the name.

they are going to need your co-operation to get it back. i wouldn't give it back.
I purchased the name on Nov. 17th. I got an e-mail from them today:
Here is the e-mail:

unbelievable...
I removed the name only to protect myself should I have to go to court.
I wanted to push to NetSol but it had a registrar lock. And, they have already moved from my account as of today!

So hiding the name does what for you legally?
Nothing and now that they took it already you will spend easily between $5000-$XXXXX to fight for it back which as you know may not be the end result. How you cannot push/transfer a name after 80 days is amazing to me, usually its 30 dyas +/-.

If a fab account had a 90 day lock it is the longest lock I ever heard of, maybe why they like using them lol
Again, what was the name?

The previous owner can still redeem the domain even after it's been awarded in auction.
That's why domains won through NJ remain auction-locked for 6 weeks.
Same with godaddy auctions, names can still be taken back some time after you won them, but it seldom happens.

I don't understand this:

How can a name be cancelled?
Does pre-release mean it was dropping, went to auction (yes, I know it does), but it was so far out in the pre-release that there was enough time between when it was won and the owner was still allowed to be taken out of redemption by the owner???
Why do people keep f'cking around with these auction places like that.

Or was it canceled because the new owner did not renew the name?

That happened to our company about 6 months ago: NameJet and Fabulous.
The time elapsed was about a week, not months.
