Frequently asked questions about sankofa.dot

What disputes can affect a .PAY Sunrise name for secure payment links?

.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.

How does securing sankofa.dot support a consistent brand presence?

Owning sankofa.dot lets NicNames point customers to one official payment name instead of competing for attention with lookalikes. A single trusted sankofa.dot address reduces confusion and reinforces that payments only happen on your real property. Claim it at https://domain.pay/register.

As a remittance app, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?

.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.

Are failed-attempt refunds for sankofa.dot automatic?

When a sankofa.dot pre-order attempt is marked failed, we process the refund under our stated policy without requiring you to chase it, and the funds return to your original payment method. You can also confirm status in your account. Read the policy for sankofa.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Is registering .PAY a replacement for trademark monitoring for donation payments?

No. Registering .PAY is not a replacement for trademark monitoring, takedowns or fraud controls. It can still reduce customer confusion around your official payment destination. Start by checking key names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
