Frequently asked questions about model.dot
Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for digital wallets?
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.
Can model.dot redirect customers to an existing store?
Yes. You can use model.dot as a short, brandable redirect that forwards to your main store or a specific product page, so print ads and packaging carry one clean address. The .PAY ending makes the destination feel like a secure payment step. Set it up after registering at https://domain.pay/register.
Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for payroll disbursements?
.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.
Can someone register model.dot that matches my trademark and impersonate me?
In theory anyone may attempt to register model.dot, which is exactly why trademark holders use TMCH priority and dispute mechanisms. If a registrant uses model.dot in bad faith to impersonate NicNames, a UDRP-style complaint may be available. The simplest protection is to register model.dot yourself first. https://domain.pay/register
Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1?
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. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.
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.
