Dispute Resolution Policy

This policy governs the resolution of disputes concerning domains registered within the HeadlessDomains ecosystem (.agent, .boss, .chatbot, etc.).

1. Grounds for Dispute

A dispute may be filed if all three of the following elements are present:

  • The registered domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights.
  • The respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name.
  • The domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.

2. Bad Faith Evidence

Evidence of bad faith includes, but is not limited to:

  • Registering the domain primarily for the purpose of selling it to the complainant for valuable consideration.
  • Registering the domain to prevent the trademark owner from reflecting the mark in a corresponding domain name.
  • Registering the domain primarily to disrupt the business of a competitor.
  • Using the domain to intentionally attract internet users for commercial gain by creating a likelihood of confusion with the complainant's mark.

3. Process and Timelines

We aim for a swift resolution within 14–30 days:

  • Filing: Complainant submits the case and uploads evidence via the portal.
  • Notification: Respondent is notified via known contact methods (email/webhook).
  • Response: Respondent has 14 days to submit a defense and counter-evidence.
  • Decision: A designated moderator reviews the case and issues a public decision within 14 days of the response period ending.

4. Outcomes

Moderators may rule to:

  • Dismiss: The complaint is denied, and the domain remains with the respondent.
  • Suspend: The domain is temporarily locked from transfer or updates pending further review or external legal action.
  • Transfer: The domain registration is transferred to the complainant.

5. Transparency

In accordance with UDRP standards, all case details including the domain, complainant name/username, respondent name/username, submitted evidence files, and final decisions are public. Redaction is reserved strictly for exceptional safety or privacy circumstances at the discretion of the moderator.
