Notification of the Respondent<\/p>\n
No administratively compliant Response has been filed. It ought to be indicated that neither the written notice of the Complaint nor the advice of delivery thereof was returned to the Czech Arbitration Court. The Panel is therefore unaware whether the written notice was received by the Respondent or not.<\/p>\n
The e-mail notice sent to <postmaster@bforbk.com> was returned back undelivered as the e-mail address had permanent fatal errors. The e-mail notice was also sent to rogercampana1960@gmail.com<\/a> (registrant´s contact email), but the CAC never received any proof of delivery or notification of undelivery.<\/p>\n No further e-mail address could be found on the disputed domain name´s site. The Respondent never accessed the online platform.<\/p>\n The respondent never contacted the CAC nor provided any contentions.<\/p>",
