COMPLAINANT<\/p>\n
The Complainant contends that its company has been using the disputed domain name as part of its business since 2018 and that, due to a recent payment lapse to the concerned Registrar, the disputed domain name was recently deleted and re-registered by the Respondent.<\/p>\n
The Complainant submits that the Respondent is infringing its rights as it registered the disputed domain name primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the disputed domain name to the Complainant, which is the owner of the trademark SWITCHEO, or to a competitor, for valuable consideration in excess of the Complainant’s documented out-of-pocket costs directly related to the disputed domain name.<\/p>\n
The Complainant informs the Panel that it sent an email to the Respondent, on June 8, 2023, requesting that it transfer the disputed domain name back to the Complainant within 14 days, with an offer of USD 200 to offset the time and fees paid by the Respondent for the disputed domain name, but has not yet received any response.<\/p>\n
