Q: I have an app store; I add free apps from Google Play Store to my website.
I have an app store; I add free apps from Google Play Store to my website.
One of the companies filed a lawsuit because I added their ap to my website.
When the lawsuit was sent to the domain company, they suspended my domain without warning or giving me the opportunity to delete this application.
The domain host told me that I should contact the law firm to solve this problem, and they are now offering an amicable solution with the payment of a fine that has not yet been announced.
I feel like I'm being exploited. In addition to the domain company's ease in closing the domain without notice or warning.
Can you help me to obtain my rights from the domain company and solve this problem, and what will be the cost for this work?

A:
It sounds like you're facing a challenging situation with your domain being suspended without warning due to a lawsuit over the inclusion of a company's app on your website. It's concerning that your domain host took such drastic action without giving you an opportunity to address the issue. In this situation, it's essential to understand your rights and explore options for resolving the matter.
Firstly, you may want to review the terms of service and policies of your domain hosting provider to see if there are any provisions regarding domain suspension and dispute resolution procedures. If your domain was suspended unfairly or without proper notice, you may have grounds to challenge the suspension and seek reinstatement of your domain.
Additionally, it's crucial to address the underlying issue of the lawsuit filed by the company regarding the inclusion of their app on your website. You may need legal assistance to navigate this aspect of the situation effectively. An attorney can help you understand your legal rights and obligations, negotiate with the company or their legal representatives, and explore potential avenues for resolution.
Regarding the cost of obtaining legal assistance to address both the domain suspension and the lawsuit, it can vary depending on various factors, such as the complexity of the case, the attorney's fees, and any additional expenses involved. It's advisable to consult with a qualified attorney who can provide you with an assessment of your case and discuss the potential costs involved before proceeding further. By seeking legal guidance, you can work towards resolving the issues with your domain company and the lawsuit in a fair and equitable manner.
