Frequently asked questions about apibox.dot

As a mobile wallet team, what happens to my money if the .PAY registration attempt fails?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

Will my SMD file expire before I can register apibox.dot?

An SMD file is tied to your active TMCH record and stops being valid if your trademark record lapses or is revoked. To claim apibox.dot you need a current, unexpired SMD at the moment of submission. Keep your TMCH record renewed so your right to apibox.dot stays enforceable. Register while valid at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a reserved .PAY name become available later for a remittance app?

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.

What should I do first to prepare for trademark priority on apibox.dot?

First, record your apibox.dot trademark in the Trademark Clearinghouse and obtain a validated SMD file; that is the prerequisite for any priority claim on apibox.dot. Then watch the apibox.dot phase and submit the SMD through NicNames when priority opens. Begin your preparation at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for mobile money?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

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.
