I reject GoDaddy's response. I was contacted just now that they did return my $80 fee - which was a good step but not enough. They need to change their practices not blame their loyal customers who have paid for years on time. Customers with a positive history should certainly be treated better. See attached screenshots/jpgs for the following section: 1) Renewal Notices: The notices are not clear. They do not indicate which websites the products are associated with. They contain conflicting information & buttons that do not function properly. They say to renew but also say renewal is not possible. The Go To My Renewals button goes to a screen that does not show that specific product that is being cancelled. 2) Renewal Page: The actual renewal page does not show cancelled items. There is no place to see a list of cancelled items or even account history to help problem solve. 3) Renewal receipts: Notice that I did in fact renew multiple domains & products in the weeks prior to the cancellation. This should have at least triggered a different response from GoDaddy rather than deletion. I have had to update my credit information many times in the past & never had sites deleted. See attached Word Document for actions needed – including: 1) GoDaddy should send physical mail when deletion is possible. 2) GoDaddy should have account freezes first before deletion. 3) Notice should be 30 days past due for accnt freeze. 60 days min written by mail (USP) notice before deletion. 4) Fees for restoration should be disclosed in Renewal Notices. 5) GoDaddy should not oversell to their customers unneeded products. 6) Holiday periods should be dealt with differently. 7) Great personal distress.See the attached word document for more detail.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.I did not set my preferences for a 2 year auto renewal. I also don't believe I ever agreed to the refund policy they are now trying to enforce. If they were to automatically renew me, why would they make an assumption it was for a term that was 2 years. Does this seem reasonable? Then, when contacting them to resolve it why wouldn't they at a minimum refund in cash the unused portion. I have no use for a store credit. This is being offer so they can keep my money for services they will never provide. They know this. It was clearly explained.

Dear Dispute Resolution Consultant,Thank you for the opportunity to address and bring clarity to the additional concerns presented by the complainant. As previously stated; our Protected Registration service, which the complainant had opted to add to their domain registration, protects against the cancellation, expiration, or transfer of a domain name. Domain names which have this service cannot be cancelled or have automatic renewal disabled until the Protected Registration is canceled. Our office has connected with the complainant to clarify the service they had purchased and what information is required to cancel the Protected Registration Service. As the complainant has stated they do not wish to provide a copy of their government-issued photo ID, GoDaddy will accept a notarized affidavit in lieu of their government-issued photo ID. This affidavit, which was sent to the complainant by our Domain Services team on July 20, 2015, will need to state the complainant’s name and that they are requesting that the protected registration service be cancelled on the domain name in question. It is the complainant’s responsibility to submit the requested documentation. Once all of the requested documentation has been received and verified by our Domain Services team, the service may then be canceled.Thank you again for the opportunity to address and bring clarity to the additional concerns presented by the complainant.[redacted]Office of the CEO - GoDaddy[redacted]@GoDaddy.com[redacted]Scottsdale, AZ 85260###-###-#### Phone###-###-#### Fax

Lastly, per GoDaddy’s Refund Policy (linked below), our customer’s build has been completed and as such, is non-refundable. Refund Policy - https://www.godaddy.com/agreements/ShowDoc.aspx?pageid=19963Thank you again for the opportunity to address the additional concerns presented by our customer.Kindest regards,Ken C[redacted]Office of the CEO – GoDaddy
I reject GoDaddy's response. I was contacted just now that they did return my $80 fee - which was a good step but not enough. They need to change their practices not blame their loyal customers who have paid for years on time. Customers with a positive history should certainly be treated better. See attached screenshots/jpgs for the following section: 1) Renewal Notices: The notices are not clear. They do not indicate which websites the products are associated with. They contain conflicting information & buttons that do not function properly. They say to renew but also say renewal is not possible. The Go To My Renewals button goes to a screen that does not show that specific product that is being cancelled. 2) Renewal Page: The actual renewal page does not show cancelled items. There is no place to see a list of cancelled items or even account history to help problem solve. 3) Renewal receipts: Notice that I did in fact renew multiple domains & products in the weeks prior to the cancellation. This should have at least triggered a different response from GoDaddy rather than deletion. I have had to update my credit information many times in the past & never had sites deleted. See attached Word Document for actions needed – including: 1) GoDaddy should send physical mail when deletion is possible. 2) GoDaddy should have account freezes first before deletion. 3) Notice should be 30 days past due for accnt freeze. 60 days min written by mail (USP) notice before deletion. 4) Fees for restoration should be disclosed in Renewal Notices. 5) GoDaddy should not oversell to their customers unneeded products. 6) Holiday periods should be dealt with differently. 7) Great personal distress.See the attached word document for more detail.

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.I did not set my preferences for a 2 year auto renewal. I also don't believe I ever agreed to the refund policy they are now trying to enforce. If they were to automatically renew me, why would they make an assumption it was for a term that was 2 years. Does this seem reasonable? Then, when contacting them to resolve it why wouldn't they at a minimum refund in cash the unused portion. I have no use for a store credit. This is being offer so they can keep my money for services they will never provide. They know this. It was clearly explained.

Dear Dispute Resolution Consultant,Thank you for the opportunity to address and bring clarity to the additional concerns presented by the complainant. As previously stated; our Protected Registration service, which the complainant had opted to add to their domain registration, protects against the cancellation, expiration, or transfer of a domain name. Domain names which have this service cannot be cancelled or have automatic renewal disabled until the Protected Registration is canceled. Our office has connected with the complainant to clarify the service they had purchased and what information is required to cancel the Protected Registration Service. As the complainant has stated they do not wish to provide a copy of their government-issued photo ID, GoDaddy will accept a notarized affidavit in lieu of their government-issued photo ID. This affidavit, which was sent to the complainant by our Domain Services team on July 20, 2015, will need to state the complainant’s name and that they are requesting that the protected registration service be cancelled on the domain name in question. It is the complainant’s responsibility to submit the requested documentation. Once all of the requested documentation has been received and verified by our Domain Services team, the service may then be canceled.Thank you again for the opportunity to address and bring clarity to the additional concerns presented by the complainant.[redacted]Office of the CEO - GoDaddy[redacted]@GoDaddy.com[redacted]Scottsdale, AZ 85260###-###-#### Phone###-###-#### Fax
