Frequently asked questions about ruled.dot

Could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app for loan repayments?

Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.

Can I claim ruled.dot if my trademark is jointly owned?

A jointly owned trademark can be recorded in the TMCH, and the resulting SMD can support a priority claim on ruled.dot where the ruled.dot string matches. The co-owners should agree on who submits the SMD and holds ruled.dot. Sort the ownership arrangement, then register ruled.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else for online checkout?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

Can my registrar account hold both ruled.dot and other priority claims at once?

Yes. Through NicNames you can pursue trademark-priority claims on ruled.dot and other matching .PAY names, each backed by its own valid SMD where the label matches the validated mark. Every claim is processed under the registry's rules. Manage your claims, starting with ruled.dot, at https://domain.pay/register.

For fraud prevention, can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?

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.

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.
