Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

Standard means balaclava.dot is offered at the $100 annual rate, while premium means Amazon Registry Services has assigned balaclava.dot a higher recurring fee.

Does .PAY have anti-abuse rules for invoice collection?

Amazon Registry policies include abuse-prevention rules for .PAY, and registrants remain subject to applicable domain dispute and abuse procedures.
