    "factual_background": "FACTS ASSERTED BY THE COMPLAINANT AND NOT CONTESTED BY THE RESPONDENT:\r\n\r\nThe Complainant is a UK based designer, importer, seller and exporter of ladies', men's and children's footwear. In particular, the Complainant owns the internationally famous \"GOLA\" brand, which it has very successfully applied (amongst other things) to its range of footwear and bag designs. The Complainant's footwear and bag products are sold throughout the world, including through its various websites registered under domain names such as <gola.co.uk> and <golausa.com>. Customers in the UK, EU and US are able to purchase the Complainant's products through Gola domain names.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant has over many years and throughout the world sold hundreds of thousands of pairs of footwear and bags under its Gola trademarks. The Gola trademarks appear on the Complainant's products and advertising and promotional material, including the Gola websites.\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name <golasingapore.com> has been registered by the Respondent on August 11, 2021. The disputed domain name <golashoescanada.com> has been registered by the Respondent on October 22, 2021. And the disputed domain name <goladeutschland.com> has been registered by the Respondent on January 10, 2022. The disputed domain names are not connected with or authorized by the Complainant in any way.\r\n\r\nThe Complainant believes that the infringing domain names follow a similar modus operandi as two complaints already brought by the Complainant (case numbers 104197 and 104314) relating to 6 domains all registered by the same Respondent. Already in case 104197, the complainant used the infringing domain with fraudulent intent to obtain personal and financial information of the complainant's customers.\r\n\r\nThe Respondent's accessible domain names point to websites that contain content from the Complainant's website and highlight the \"Gola\" trademarks at the top of all pages of the (accessible) websites and in product advertising on the home pages and other pages of the websites. The websites are used to offer GOLA branded footwear and bags. They suggest that there is a commercial relationship between the Complainant and the websites associated with the disputed domain names, when this is not the case. The disputed domain names are likely to mislead relevant members of the public, who attempt to purchase products via the disputed domain names, into believing that they are doing so from the Complainant's genuine website or from a website that is in some way connected to or associated with the Complainant, contrary to the fact.",
