Frequently asked questions about folklore.dot

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments when choosing bank.pay?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Are failed registration attempts for folklore.dot really refunded?

Yes. If your attempt to secure folklore.dot doesn't result in a registration — for instance the name goes to another applicant — that pre-order is refundable. You only pay to keep folklore.dot when it's successfully registered to you. Review the refund terms for folklore.dot at /pricing.

As a travel booking brand, how should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

Can I switch from a pre-order to a trademark-priority claim for folklore.dot?

If you obtain a valid SMD for the folklore.dot mark, you can pursue the trademark-priority path for folklore.dot rather than relying on a standard pre-order. The priority route requires that SMD at claim time. Any unfulfilled pre-order on folklore.dot is refundable per policy. Choose the priority path at https://domain.pay/register.

For mobile money, can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

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.
