Dispute proceedings arising from alleged abusive registrations of domain names (for example, cybersquatting) may be initiated by a holder of trademark rights. The UDRP is a policy that is agreed to by the Customer and is included in Registration Agreements for all ICANN-accredited registrars.

Once a UDRP case has been filed and the sponsoring registrar is notified by the Arbitration provider, the Service availed on the domain name should be immediately disabled. Registrars providing the Service to Customers are required to disable the Service upon receiving notification of a UDRP/URS or any complaint received as part of ICANN's rights protection mechanisms in a timely manner.
Note: Under any of the scenarios mentioned above, the Service will be disabled so that the underlying Registrant can be pursued.
