Frequently asked questions about hardie.dot
What disputes can affect a .PAY Sunrise name for tax 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.
How does hardie.dot ownership help during a brand dispute?
If NicNames already owns hardie.dot, there is no name to dispute, which eliminates the cost, delay, and uncertainty of a UDRP-style proceeding. Prevention through ownership is far stronger than recovery after the fact. Lock in hardie.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
For mobile money, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?
An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.
What if I miss the general availability opening for hardie.dot?
If you miss the opening, hardie.dot may already be taken by a faster registrant. A pre-order avoids this by having domain.pay submit hardie.dot automatically at the opening, so you cannot miss it. Set it up at https://domain.pay/register.
Can I renew a .PAY domain after registration?
.PAY names can be renewed through the registrar path if registry and registrar rules are met and renewal fees are paid. domain.pay explains the customer registration route here: https://domain.pay/register. Keep contact details current to avoid lifecycle problems.
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.
