Advisory Board (TT) Procedure .hu domain registration complaint

The start of the process

• Pursuant to the .hu registration regulations  , an Advisory Board procedure can be requested for all newly submitted domain registration requests within 8 days of the submission of the registration request. This is the first step to report a complaint.
• It is possible to submit the complaint documentation at the same time as the complaint is indicated or after. The deadline for submitting a complaint supported by documentation of the Advisory Board procedure is possible within 14 days after the start of registration.

If the complaint is reported, but documents or a position are not communicated to the Registry, the complaint automatically becomes invalid after the deadline. In this case, a registered .hu domain can be attacked with the help of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Forum without the assistance of a registrar.

Answer

• The Complainant has 8 days to respond after receiving the complaint. As long as the complaint has only been indicated, but the complaint has not been submitted, we cannot talk about an actual complaint. Answering here only means submitting documents expressing your right to the domain name.
  If the Complained Party does not send documentation, then the Advisory Board will make a decision solely based on the Complainant’s objection.

The procedural fee for the Advisory Board procedure is HUF 100,000 + VAT,
and the labor fee is HUF 25,000 + VAT,
i.e. a total of HUF 125,000 + VAT per domain (one hundred and twenty-five thousand HUF + VAT).
