    "factual_background": "The Complainant informs that Lovehoney is the largest British company selling sex toys, lingerie and erotic gifts on the Internet continuing to grow rapidly across the world as a retailer, manufacturer and distributor.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the Complainant proves that the trademark LOVEHONEY is regularly registered, since 2005, in many countries for different classes of products and services. The Complainant has also registered, since 1998, numerous domain names including the term \"lovehoney\".\r\n\r\nThe Complainant contends that it extensively uses said domain names to connect to websites through which it informs potential customers about its LOVEHONEY mark and its products and services. The disputed domain name <lovehoney.shop> was created on November 2, 2020 and therefore, the Complainant trademark registrations around the world significantly predate the registration of the disputed domain name.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant notes that its LOVEHONEY trademark is entirely reflected in the domain name in dispute which is therefore identical to the Complainant’s trademark. \r\n\r\nFurthermore, the Complainant informs that the Respondent has no relationship whatsoever with the Complainant or its LOVEHONEY trademark and is not commonly known by the domain name here contested. \r\n\r\nAdditionally, in the Complainant's view, it is inconceivable that the Respondent was not aware of Complainant and of its trademark at the time of registering the disputed domain name. \r\n\r\nIn addition, according to the Complainant, the Respondent is using the domain name in dispute to resolve to an active website, which seems to be a web-shop selling toys, in which there are materials and contents expressly copied from the Complainant’s official website and mentioning the Complainant. The above circumstance, in the Complainant's view, obviously indicates that the domain name in dispute was registered and has been used with the intent to attract and mislead Internet users looking for the Complainant and therefore in bad faith. \r\n\r\nFinally, in order to emphasize the Respondent's bad faith, the Complainant informs that (i) it tried to contact the Respondent on June 25, 2020 through a cease and desist letter but the Respondent never replied and that (ii) the Respondent is clearly trying to conceal its identity by the use of privacy shield hiding the registrant's identity and contact details.
