Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else when choosing loans.pay?

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.

When can a trademark holder claim shuga.dot ahead of the general public?

Trademark holders can claim shuga.dot during the priority phase, which runs before standard availability opens to everyone. You must hold a valid TMCH SMD covering the shuga.dot string at the time you submit. After the priority phase closes, shuga.dot moves to first-day pre-order and then general registration. See timing at https://domain.pay/.

Where do I start if I need brand-protection help for .PAY for marketplace payouts?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

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.
