The language of the registration agreement is English.<\/p>\n<p>Having regard to the complexity of the proceeding including two non-standard communications by the Respondent, the Panel determined on 13 June 2023 that it is appropriate for the Complainant to pay the additional UDRP fee and the decision date to be postponed by 10 days. The Complainant duly paid the additional fee on 15 June 2023.<\/p>",

    "no_response_filed": "<p>NO ADMINISTRATIVELY COMPLIANT RESPONSE HAS BEEN FILED.<\/p>\n<p>However, on 4 May 2023 the Respondent filed a non-standard communication pointing out the following: The domain name is meant to host a web site of a fitness coach in the city of Casablanca, &lt;courir&gt; being a common French verb (meaning &lt;to run&gt; in English) and &lt;Casa&gt; being the defacto dimunitive of Casablanca.<\/p>\n<div class=\"print-fld print-textarea\">\n<p>The Respondent describes itself as a sports group of people joining every Sunday at 8 am for running together in the Casablanca Forest called Bouskoura for two hours. In addition, it points out that it is not selling any apparel under the brand &lt;courir&gt;.<\/p>\n<p>The disputed domain name was registered just one week before the complaint was filed. It was automatically assigned a holding page\/parking page by the Registrar.<\/p>\n<p>In the light of the above, the Respondent considers the case to be an abuse of the system to try to accaparate this domain name consisting of a basic French term. The Respondent further feels this complaint to be baseless and offensive and stuck-up usage of the French language.<\/p>\n<p>In a further non-standard communication of 16 June 2023, the Respondent repeated that he registered the disputed domain name consisting of a French standard verb in good faith. He further claims to be using the verb &lt;courir&gt; to promote running activities in Casablanca. He does not sell products or services under the disputed domain name.<\/p>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<\/div>",
