Frequently asked questions about ghurka.dot

What is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY for payroll disbursements?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

Is my ghurka.dot priority claim public during the phase?

Trademark-priority claims on ghurka.dot are processed under the registry's rules, and the final registration of ghurka.dot appears in WHOIS once completed. The SMD itself stays your private credential during the phase. NicNames uses it only to verify your priority on ghurka.dot. Register at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for payroll disbursements?

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.

What is a TMCH SMD file and where do I get one for ghurka.dot?

A TMCH SMD file is a Signed Mark Data file issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse confirming you own a mark matching ghurka.dot; it is required for trademark-priority on ghurka.dot. You obtain it by validating your trademark with the Clearinghouse. Then start ghurka.dot priority at https://domain.pay/register.

Is there a cash refund option for a failed .PAY pre-order for a payroll platform?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

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.
