Complainant further states that \"Respondent seeks to trick users into thinking that Hapag-Lloyd is associated with their site (the Site) at the Infringing Domain.\"  A printout of the website using the disputed domain name, as provided by Complainant, states, among other things: \"Hapag LLoyd is the safest way to buy and sell online\"; and \"Hapag LLoyd Delivery is open around-the-clock, ready to pick up and deliver your shipments 24 hours a day, seven days a week,\r\n365 days a year – including weekends and holidays.\"",
    "other_legal_proceedings": "The Panel is not aware of any other legal proceedings which are pending or decided and which relate to the disputed domain name.",
    "no_response_filed": "No administratively compliant response has been filed.\r\n\r\nComplainant's contentions are sparse and unsupported by citation to any authority. Complainant states simply that \"Respondent seeks to trick users into thinking that Hapag-Lloyd is associated with their site (the Site) at the Infringing Domain\"; that \"Hapag-Lloyd has nothing to do with the Site, the Infringing Domain, or the Respondent\"; that \"Respondent has no legitimate interest in the Site or the Infringing Domain as they are being used to defraud users into purchasing products that are never delivered\"; and that \"The Infringing Domain was registered in bad faith as the sole purpose for its registration was and is to trick users into believing that they have arrived at a site which is owned by or associated with a reputable company i.e. Hapag-Lloyd.\"",
    "rights": "The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the Domain Name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(i)of the Policy).",

    "bad_faith": "The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the Domain Name has been registered and is being used in bad faith (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(iii)of the Policy).",
    "procedural_factors": "The Panel is satisfied that all procedural requirements under UDRP were met and there is no other reason why it would be inappropriate to provide a decision. The Panel accepts Complainant's request for this proceeding to be conducted in English, despite the Russian language of the registration agreement. Among other things, Complainant argued that English was appropriate because the Respondent's address is in London and \"[t]he entire website at the Infringing Domain is written in English.\" Accordingly, conducting this proceeding in English is appropriate and also consistent with paragraph 4.3 of WIPO Overview of WIPO Panel Views on Selected UDRP Questions, Second Edition, which states: \"Recognizing the practical need which may arise for a preliminary determination of the language of proceeding prior to their appointment, panels have found that, in certain situations, where the respondent can apparently understand the language of the complaint (or having been given a fair chance to object has not done so), and the complainant would be unfairly disadvantaged by being forced to translate\"",
