Frequently asked questions about accountability.dot

As a bank or credit union, can Amazon Registry reserve or block some .PAY names?

The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.

Where do I document my trademark to protect accountability.dot?

You record your accountability.dot trademark in the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH), which verifies your rights and issues an SMD file used to claim accountability.dot during priority phases and to receive registration notices. This is the standard route for protecting brand names. https://domain.pay/pricing

What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for point-of-sale payments?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

How do I make sure my SMD matches the exact label in accountability.dot?

Open your TMCH record to see the validated mark text, then compare it against the accountability.dot string in accountability.dot character by character before submitting. NicNames only grants priority when the SMD-encoded mark matches that label for accountability.dot. A mismatch routes you to standard pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Where do I start if I need brand-protection help for .PAY for card processing?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

Availability is checked live and re-verified before payment. Pre-orders are first-day registration attempts — registration is not guaranteed; 100% credit toward another domain (or 80% cash refund) if unsuccessful.
