Frequently asked questions about samari.dot
For fraud prevention, who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period?
During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.
Can I get a refund if my pre-order for samari.dot fails?
Yes. If your pre-order attempt for samari.dot does not succeed — for example, the name is awarded elsewhere — the attempt is refundable. You are only charged for a successful registration of samari.dot. Review refund terms before you pre-order at /pricing.
As a donation platform, 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.
Who is best positioned to claim samari.dot during launch?
Verified holders of the samari.dot trademark, using TMCH-issued SMD files in priority phases, are best positioned to claim samari.dot at launch. If you do not hold a recorded mark, a $100 refundable pre-order is the next-best path for NicNames. https://domain.pay/register
Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay for point-of-sale 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.
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.
