There have been differing statements regarding the ownership and control of amorabaliweddingplanner.com. This section provides factual clarifications supported by verifiable records.
"Our website (amorabaliweddingplanner.com) and email accounts associated with the domain @amorabaliweddingplanner.com were hacked and hijacked by our former IT team member, Ralph G.S. van Slooten"
View Claim →The domain amorabaliweddingplanner.com has been legally registered under my name since July 2017. ICANN domain regulations confirm that domain owners have administrative control over associated digital assets, including email systems. All actions taken were in alignment with these ownership rights.
View Proof →I was still in direct communication with Retno, forwarding her client-related emails at her own request (see screenshot below). This demonstrates ongoing goodwill and cooperation, not hacking. Locking someone out of systems you own and maintain is standard security practice, not hijacking.
View Screenshot →"Rather than giving in to blackmail, we've decided to embrace this as an opportunity for a fresh start.."
View Claim →Negotiations were held to determine a sustainable compensation structure for the system. As no agreement was reached, I proceeded with securing the assets I own in accordance with global domain regulations.
My final email sent →"However, please keep in mind that you cannot use name of Amora Bali Weddings / Amora Bali Wedding Planner since that name is legally registered as me and my father’s company. The website domain is written inside the CV and legalized by the notary as well."
View Claim →While a company may register a business name locally, domain ownership follows ICANN’s global domain regulations. The registration of a business name in a local notary document does not grant automatic ownership of a domain name.
ICANN →This timeline provides a clear record of the development, management, and key events related to amorabaliweddingplanner.com. It ensures transparency for potential partners by outlining the website’s ownership, major changes, and the reasons for seeking a new partner.

Whois data about amorabaliweddingplanner.comThe site was launched with some placeholder content. Styling was not fully functional yet, but the first version was online.
The website on the 17th of July 2017Transitioned away from WordPress to a fully custom-built platform for better speed, security, and feature implementation.
The Current WebsiteInitiated negotiations for a more sustainable agreement due to insufficient payments covering system maintenance and optimization.
After some back and forths, while awaiting a response, I found out that there was a second site being built (amorabaliweddings.com), indicating a possible shift away from our agreement.
To prevent further issues, I secured the domain and associated digital assets in alignment with global ownership rights.
Despite renewed discussions, We were unable to agree on financial terms, and the partnership was officially concluded.
Yes! The website remains fully operational, and inquiries are still coming in as usual. However, until I have a partnership with a local wedding planner these emails remain unanswered.
I am open to rebranding discussions if needed, but the domain amorabaliweddingplanner.com remains under my ownership, and I intend to continue its presence in the Bali wedding market.
We collaborated with a local wedding planner (Amora Bali Weddings CV) for an extended period, during which I provided a lead-generation system and managed the website/domain. Over time, We encountered repeated payment delays and difficulties in reaching a fair agreement to maintain the system. Despite multiple negotiation rounds and deadline extensions, I ultimately parted ways when no consensus on terms could be reached.
The amorabaliweddingplanner.com domain is registered and owned under international domain regulations (ICANN). Because of this, all associated digital assets (email and the instagram account created under the domain, etc.) are also under my control. Although the previous partner may have a local business registration for 'Amora Bali Weddings,' it does not override my legal ownership of the domain amorabaliweddingplanner.com .
They have referenced a local (Indonesian) notary registration that includes the name 'amorabaliweddingplanner.com' however, domain ownership and trademark/business name registration are separate matters. The domain’s global registration stands independently of local incorporation. While I respect their local business, from an international standpoint, the domain remains under my ownership.
No. The site and lead-generation system continue to run as normal. I secured all digital channels to ensure uninterrupted performance. I am transparent about our previous experiences, and future partners can rest assured that I will manage the system professionally and consistently.
I close the deals for you, and we split the profit by commission — simple, transparent, and performance-based.
Despite consistent lead generation, we couldn’t agree on compensation that would cover the costs of maintaining and growing the system. Payment delays and other transparency issues made the partnership unsustainable. I offered multiple revised packages, but no final agreement was reached before the stated deadlines.
I fully comply with international domain regulations. If any legal concerns arise, I am open to addressing them through appropriate legal channels while ensuring uninterrupted service for the website and its partners.
All inquiries that come through the website are responded to promptly and professionally. I handle the initial conversations, qualify the leads, and present them with the right package options. Once the client is ready to move forward, I’ll close the deal and seamlessly hand over the booking details to you — ensuring a smooth transition and no missed opportunities.
Yes. I’m open to discussions about brand positioning or even a partial rebrand if that aligns with a partner’s marketing strategy. My primary interest is in preserving the domain’s authority and SEO value, so any rebranding would be done carefully to maintain existing traffic and search rankings.
Simply reach out to info@nomadicowls.com, and we can schedule a chat or call. I’d like to see if we’re a good match and if our goals align for long-term growth. If there’s potential for collaboration, we can explore a partnership framework that benefits both sides and makes the most of the website’s strong lead flow.
