Frequently asked questions about chequers.dot

What disputes can affect a .PAY Sunrise name for cross-border payments?

.PAY Sunrise registrations can be subject to Sunrise dispute procedures if the registration or denial violates the Sunrise criteria. Start by checking your own label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register, and coordinate with trademark counsel for formal dispute strategy.

Is a TMCH SMD file required to pre-order chequers.dot?

No — a standard $100 pre-order for chequers.dot doesn't require an SMD file. You only need a TMCH SMD if you want trademark priority on chequers.dot ahead of general applicants. Choose the right path for chequers.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 when choosing loans.pay?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.

How do I interpret a premium price shown for chequers.dot?

A premium price on chequers.dot is the registry's wholesale figure for chequers.dot from Amazon Registry Services, displayed instead of the standard fee, and it applies because of chequers.dot's classification. It can change over time. Review what the chequers.dot figure means at https://domain.pay/pricing.

When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run for a brand-protection manager?

ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
