    "factual_background": "FACTS ASSERTED BY THE COMPLAINANT AND NOT CONTESTED BY THE RESPONDENT:\r\n\r\nThe Complainant is a leader in French retail banking, and is one of the largest banks in Europe. The Complainant's website can be found at 'www.credit-agricole.com'.\r\n\r\nThe disputed Domain Name was registered on 30 March 2016, post dating the Complainant’s trade mark.\r\n\r\nThe Domain Name does not resolve to an active website, but merely to a holding page stating \"Sito web in manutenzione\".",
    "other_legal_proceedings": "The Panel is not aware of any other legal proceedings which relate to the disputed domain name CREDIT-AGRICOLE-ASPI.COM (the 'Domain Name').",
    "no_response_filed": "NO ADMINISTRATIVELY COMPLIANT RESPONSE HAS BEEN FILED.\r\n\r\nPARTIES' CONTENTIONS:\r\n\r\nCOMPLAINANT:\r\n\r\nThe Complainant contends that the Domain Name is confusingly similar to the Complainant's trade marks for ‘CREDIT AGRICOLE’, registered in, inter alia, the European Union (Paragraph 4(a) (i) UDRP). The \".com\" aspect of the Domain Name can be disregarded. The Complainant contents also that the addition to their trade mark (separated by a hyphen) of the letters 'ASPI' is not sufficient to escape a finding that the Domain Name is confusingly similar to the Complainant's trade marks.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant claims the Respondent does not have any rights or legitimate interest in the Domain Name as:\r\n- The Respondent does not use the trade mark CREDIT AGRICOLE nor the Domain Name in connection with any offering of its own goods or services. The website is inactive and has not been active since it was registered.\r\n- The Respondent is not affiliated with or authorised by the Complainant.\r\n\r\nAccording to the Complainant the Domain Name has been registered and is being used in bad faith as it contains their famous trade mark coupled with an inactive website. It is reasonable to infer the Respondent registered the Domain Name in full knowledge of the Complainant's rights.",
    "rights": "The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the Domain Name is confusingly similar to a trademark in which the Complainant has rights (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(i)of the Policy).",
    "no_rights_or_legitimate_interests": "The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the Respondent to have no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the Domain Name (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(ii)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.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant first filed its complaint in relation to the Domain Name with the Czech Arbitration Court on 8 April 2016. The Complaint at that time was directed towards the registrant provided by a privacy shield service which stated the following on the WHOIS, 'Contact Privacy Inc. Customer 0142686964'. However, following a request by the CAC for Registrar Verification, the privacy shield was lifted to reveal the true identity of the registrant of the Domain Name as being a French based individual called 'Olivie Guittiere'. As a result the Complainant filed and amended the complaint so as to be filed against Olivie Guittiere. \r\n\r\nThe CAC formally commenced proceedings on 14 April 2016 and notified the Respondent accordingly.\r\n\r\nThe Respondent failed to submit a Response within the time frame required in this Complaint, or at all, and a Notification of Respondent’s Default was therefore issued by the Czech Arbitration Court on 6 May 2016.\r\n\r\nHaving received a Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality, the Czech Arbitration Court appointed Steve Palmer of Palmer Biggs IP, Solicitors as the Panel in these UDRP proceedings. \r\n",
