[QUOTE="ncabete, post: 2350015, member: 322975492"] It isn't as straightforward as it appears to be, unfortunately not every online purchase is made using the rightful credit card owner, which creates a liability for every merchant, including registrars. No business wants to end up without the funds and the asset they sold, thus, a lot happens behind the scene when it comes to making the decision to uphold (or not) the Terms of Service. One of the great things of not being a big corporate is that we can review these cases on a case by case basis instead of 100% enforcing it. In regards to extending the lock period to 62 days, it is personally the first time that I am hearing about such. I did look up a domain that landed today at Epik, and the release date of the lock is 2022-01-13 which is in fact 60 days from today (UTC). Although I do not quite know how the calculation is made in terms of code (days vs hours), I could picture that there can be some confusion when it comes to different timezones, though if that's the case, it wouldn't be by 2 days, at max, by a couple of hours (that could eventually mean 1 "day"). Lastly, if both the buyer and the seller have gone through KYC AND/OR are at least established Epik customers, the decision to waive the lock may be easier. [/QUOTE]
