Verisign is actually the registrar for all US based domain names.. others are just resellers. It doesnt matter where the reseller is - Verisign is US based.

So Verisign is the important part of this puzzle not Godaddy or eNom or Moniker.

In the US, its usually each party pays their own attorneys unless there is a contract between the parties that says loser pays or there is a statute that says loser pays.

As for billing companies - almost all credit card processing is based in the US and for the most part - all wire transfers touch US soil at some point.
This makes it seem incredibly risky to operate at all using a .com domain regardless of if your business is completely legit. Big business could easily bankrupt smaller foreign competitors
