    "You will not use any domain name won through this contest to send unsolicited email over the Internet (spam.) All spammers will be reported to the proper authorities. "

    I don't see how you can possibly enforce any restrictions about how the domain gets used after you transfer it.

    Enforcement is not a priority here. I just don't want to be liable for any spam sent out from a domain that was won in my contest.

    I don't see any problems with your rules... Although the spam one is probably unnecessary. I don't think you would have any liability for such a thing anyways.

    But it won't hurt to leave it in, I imagine.

    Leave it in AmCy. Even if you can't enforce it at least it clarify's your postition. I am curious about your insistence on eNom. Have you had trouble transferring the domains to others via other registrars?

    I was using both eNom and GoDaddy for the contest, but the GoDaddy transfer process is not efficient enough for my tastes. eNom offers a very quick and painless "push" system for transferring domain names which works well with my situation.

    Also, I am an eNom reseller so I get a decent discount on reg' pricing.

    Okay, thanks AmCy. I was just being nosey. I've come across a registrar/host lately that was demanding money to release a domain and it caused a bit of friction.

    I'd be inclined to work both in. Liability in and of itself is defined by law in a variety of ways often particular to region. Moreover, you can still be placed at a disadvantage without actually being liable for damages etc.

    ie - although you transfer ownership, good will and other semi tangibles can still suffer, impacting you and possibly your assets in various ways.

    I'm no legal eagle, but I've come to believe that when it comes to TOS, or any other potentially binding agreement (the context of which is always relevant), the broader your protection, the better.

    I mean hey, you're giving domains away here.. :)

    Cheers,

    JL
