Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) <br>
Be advised: Protecting a domain name registrant or trademark owner from
confusing and/or conflicting domain name registrations is not the
responsibility of the domain and trademark registration processes. In the
event of a registration of the above noted domain by a third party, the
UDRP may be applied under the following conditions.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=2>Evidence of Registration and
Use in Bad Faith. - For the purposes of Paragraph 4(a)(iii), the
following circumstances, in particular but without limitation, if found
by the Panel to be present, shall be evidence of the registration and use
of a domain name in bad faith:<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=2>(i) circumstances indicating
that the domain name registered or acquired the domain name primarily for
the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the domain
name registration to the complainant who is the owner of the trademark or
service mark or a competitor of that complainant, for valuable
consideration in excess of your documented out-of-pocket costs directly
related to the domain name; or<br>
(ii) the domain name has been registered in order to prevent the owner of
the trademark or service mark from reflecting the mark in a corresponding
domain name, provided that you have engaged in a pattern of such conduct;
or<br>
(iii) the domain name has been registered primarily for the purpose of
disrupting the business of a competitor; or (iv) by using the domain
name, registrant has intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial
gain, Internet users to their web site or other on-line location, by
creating a likelihood of confusion with the complainant's mark as to the
source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement or your web site or
location or of a product or service of a web site or location.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=2>In addition to remedies
provided for by the URDP, section 4a (1)(2)(3) &amp; b (1)(2)(3)(4)
