Frequently asked questions about cry.dot

For fraud prevention, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?

.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.

Is a trademark required for every phase of cry.dot?

No. A trademark is required only for the sunrise phase of cry.dot; general availability has no such requirement. domain.pay queues cry.dot for whichever phase you qualify for. Choose your path at https://domain.pay/register.

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for payroll disbursements?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

Does NicNames refund taxes on a failed cry.dot pre-order?

When a cry.dot pre-order attempt fails, the refund under our stated policy returns the amount you were charged, including taxes collected on that failed attempt where applicable. NicNames reconciles this with your payment provider. Read the refund terms for cry.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can a trademark holder challenge a bad .PAY Sunrise registration for a bank or credit union?

.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.

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.
