Frequently asked questions about primates.dot

Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay for crypto payments?

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.

What should I do if I discover someone already registered primates.dot?

First gather proof of your rights in the primates.dot mark and evidence of how primates.dot is being used. If it appears registered in bad faith to impersonate NicNames, a UDRP-style complaint may be an option, though results vary. Document everything before acting. https://domain.pay/

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing when choosing link.pay?

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.

How does first-day pre-order differ from trademark priority for primates.dot?

Trademark priority lets a validated TMCH mark holder claim primates.dot first using an SMD file, before anyone else. First-day pre-order is the next opportunity, open to those without a trademark, listed at $100 for primates.dot. Priority always ranks ahead of pre-order. Compare both paths at https://domain.pay/pricing.

As a brand-protection manager, can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission?

If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.

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.
