In addition, we may cancel, transfer or make changes to domain name registration in accordance with the terms of your Domain Name Registration Agreement or other legal requirements.

4. MANDATORY ADMINISTRATIVE OPERATIONS

This paragraph regulates the types of disputes that must be dealt with by an administrative act. These actions will be handled by one of the administrative dispute resolution service providers listed at www.icann.org/en/dndr/udrp/approved-providers.htm (each a "Provider").

a. Applicable Disputes You will be liable to intervene in an administrative proceeding if a third party (a "complainant") makes the following statements to a valid Provider in accordance with the Rules of Procedure:

(i) declares that your domain name is identical or confusingly similar to the trademark or service marks to which the complainant has rights; and

(ii) declares that you do not have any rights or legitimate interests in the domain name; and

(iii) declares that your domain name has been registered and used in bad faith.

In administrative proceedings, the complainant must prove that each of these three elements is present.

b. Proof of Malicious Registration and Use

(i) circumstances implying that you have registered or acquired the domain name primarily for the purpose of selling, renting or transferring the domain name to the complainant or a competitor of the complainant who is the owner of the trademark or service mark, for an appropriate price in excess of your documented out-of-pocket costs incurred directly in respect of the domain name ; or

(ii) you have registered the domain name to prevent the owner of the trademark or service mark from using that mark in a similar domain name and you act in this way for commercial purposes; or

(iii) where you have registered the domain name primarily for the purpose of harming a competitor's business; or

(iv) By using the domain name, you can use the complainant's brand in your source, sponsorship, relationship or website with the aim of obtaining commercial gain.
where you deliberately attempt to attract Internet users to your website or another site by confusing the recommendations of the product or service.

c. Proving Your Rights and Legitimate Interests in the Domain Name in the Case of a Complaint When you receive a complaint, you should refer to Paragraph 5 of the Rules of Procedure to determine how your response should be prepared. Based on its assessment of all the evidence submitted, the following situations will set forth your rights or legitimate interests in the domain name for the purpose of paragraph 4(a)(ii), but not limited to, where the Tribunal determines that it has been proven:

(i) you used or made specific preparations to use the domain name or a name similar to the domain name, regarding the good faith delivery of goods or services prior to the notice of the dispute; or

(ii) you (as an individual, company or other entity) are known by the relevant domain name even if you have not acquired any trademark or service mark rights; or

(iii) Your use of the domain name for legitimate and non-commercial purposes or in a fair manner, without the purpose of gaining commercial gain by misleading customers or tarnishing the trademark or service mark in question.

This petition will be submitted to the first Administrative Committee, which will look at the dispute pending resolution between the parties. The Administrative Committee, at its discretion, may decide to consolidate these disputes; however, disputes to be merged must be subject to this Policy or future versions of this Policy accepted by ICANN.

g. Fees In accordance with this Policy, all fees invoiced by a Provider in relation to a dispute heard by the Administrative Board shall be paid by the complainant; however, if you choose to increase the number of Administrative Board members from one person to three as set forth in paragraph 5(b)(iv) of the Rules of Procedure, all fees will be shared equally between you and the complainant.
