Frequently asked questions about inaugural.dot

As a brand-protection manager, 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.

Can I pre-order inaugural.dot if my trademark application is still pending?

Trademark-priority for inaugural.dot requires a TMCH SMD file, which the Trademark Clearinghouse issues only for validated marks, so a pending application alone may not qualify for inaugural.dot. You can still place a standard pre-order for inaugural.dot meanwhile. Choose a path at https://domain.pay/register.

What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for fraud prevention?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

How do I prove I'm eligible for inaugural.dot?

Proving eligibility for inaugural.dot usually means providing accurate registrant details and, where requested, information showing your payment or financial-related intended use. The .PAY registry may run validation checks before activation. domain.pay helps you prepare and submit what's needed; begin at https://domain.pay/register.

What disputes can affect a .PAY Sunrise name for a payroll platform?

.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.
