    "factual_background": "FACTS ASSERTED BY THE COMPLAINANT AND NOT CONTESTED BY THE RESPONDENT:\r\n\r\nThe Complainant (i.e. CREDIT AGRICOLE S.A.) claims it is the leader in retail banking in France and one of the largest banks in Europe.\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name was registered on July 3, 2016 (i.e. years after the registration of Complainant’s trademarks).\r\n\r\nParties' Contentions\r\n\r\nThe Complainant contends that that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to trademarks in which it has registered rights. \r\n\r\nFurthermore, the Complainant states it has not granted any licence, consent or authorisation to the Respondent to use its trademarks “CREDIT AGRICOLE” in a domain name or in any other manner, nor acquiesced in any such use. The Complainant claims that the Respondent did not use the domain name prior to its registration and is not commonly known by it. Furthermore, the Complainant states the website in relation with the disputed domain name displays a registrar parking page containing pay-per-clicks links related to Complainant’s similar activity which is not to be considered bona fide offering of goods or services. \r\n\r\nFinally, the Complainant asserts that Respondent has registered and is using the disputed domain name in order to attempt to attract for commercial gain, Internet users to the Respondent’s website which displays a registrar parking page containing pay-per-clicks links related to Complainant’s similar activity by creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant’s mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement of the Respondent’s website. \r\n\r\nMoreover, given the distinctiveness of the Complainant's trademarks and reputation, according to the Complainant it is reasonable to infer that the Respondent has registered the domain names with full knowledge of the Complainant's trademarks.
