Frequently asked questions about freecity.dot

For point-of-sale payments, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?

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.

How does NicNames verify my SMD signature for freecity.dot?

NicNames checks the cryptographic signature embedded in your SMD against the Trademark Clearinghouse's trust chain before granting priority on freecity.dot. If the signature and mark match the freecity.dot string, the claim proceeds. A broken or mismatched signature blocks priority on freecity.dot. Submit a valid file at https://domain.pay/register.

Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay for loan repayments?

A .PAY pre-order can fail if the name is registered earlier, classified as premium, reserved, blocked, refused by registry policy or lost to another faster submission. Search and order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains, and review its credit/cash-refund options.

Why does freecity.dot matter for protecting payment trust specifically?

Payment trust depends on customers being certain they are on the real freecity.dot property when they pay. Because .PAY implies payments, controlling freecity.dot prevents a fake from intercepting that trust. Holding freecity.dot is therefore a direct payment-security control for NicNames. https://domain.pay/register

For point-of-sale payments, what if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

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.
