I'd like to buy a domain but it seems to be already taken. However, a WHOIS-lookup shows that it is not in a "normal state", and though I googled for the meanings of clientHold and autoRenewPeriod, I'm not an expert of this field so I don't completely understand what they mean. Here's the relevant digest from the WHOIS:
WHOIS Server: whois.udag.net; Referral URL: www.united-domains.de; Updated Date: 2015-07-10T05:15:52Z;
Creation Date: 2014-06-04T17:00:06Z;
Registry Expiry Date: 2016-06-04T17:00:06Z;
Sponsoring Registrar: united-domains AG;
Sponsoring Registrar IANA ID: 1408;
Domain Status: clientHold;
Domain Status: autoRenewPeriod;
As I understand: The domain has expired a few days ago, it's expiry was automatically extended by the registrar, but its owner hasn't yet paid the fee for that(?) so if it doesn't get renewed by them, it will become free again in ~30-40 days. So if I'm lucky I can have it. :) Am I right, or its status cannot be told so accurately from this WHOIS?

A search for the term autoRenewPeriod turned up:
This grace period is provided after a domain name registration period
expires and is extended (renewed) automatically by the registry. If
the registrar deletes the domain name during this period, the registry
provides a credit to the registrar for the cost of the renewal.
