The Response

When filling out the Response Form remember that all complaints are decided solely on the terms of the Nominet DRS Policy and submissions addressing non-relevant issues are unlikely to help your case. A DRS response will look something like this when it is filled in. Please note that this will be generated by our system once you have been through the online form. You should always use the online forms as this will allow us to process your case more quickly and reliably as your complaint will be fed automatically into our case management software.

Remember, you should use the online forms to file your Response. If you do not, please remember that there is some extra standard wording which you should include: see the Procedure paragraph 5.

Legal Proceedings

Please inform us if the Domain Name is the subject of legal proceedings, and if so, tell us the outcome of the proceedings.

Respondent's warranties

Please ensure that you have read and understood the warranties (legal promises) contained in this section. Your response will not be valid unless you have ticked the box to represent your agreement to these promises.

Nominet will not process your response until we have received a signed hard copy of your response together with a complete copy of the annexes. You should ensure that you post the hard copy of your response and annexes in good time to meet the deadline for filing your response.
