5.8.4 The domain name is not part of a pattern or series of abusive registrations because the Domain Name is of a significantly different type or character to other domain names registered by the Registrant. 5.9 Other factors for the Examiner to consider: 5.9.1 Trading in domain names for profit, and holding a large portfolio of domain names, are of themselves not indicia of bad faith under the usRS. Such conduct, however, may be abusive in a given case depending on the circumstances of the dispute. The Examiner must review each case on its merits. 5.9.2 Sale of traffic (i.e. connecting domain names to parking pages and earning click- per-view revenue) does not in and of itself constitute bad faith under the usRS. Such conduct, however, may be abusive in a given case depending on the circumstances of the dispute. The Examiner will take into account: 5.9.2.1. the nature of the domain name; 5.9.2.2. the nature of the advertising links on any parking page associated with the domain name; and 5.9.2.3. that the use of the domain name is ultimately the Registrant’s responsibility. 6. Default 6.1 If at the expiration of the 14 Calendar Day Response period (or extended period if granted), the Registrant does not submit an answer, the Complaint proceeds to Default. 6.2 In either case, the Provider provide Notice of Default via email to the Complainant and Registrant, and via mail and fax to Registrant. During the Default period, the Registrant will be prohibited from changing content found on the site to argue that it is now a legitimate use and will also be prohibited from changing the Whois information. 6.3 All Default cases proceed to Examination for review on the merits of the claim. 6.4 If after Examination in Default cases, the Examiner rules in favor of Complainant, Registrant shall have the right to seek relief from Default via de novo review by filing a Response at any time up to six months after the date of the Notice of Default. The Registrant will also be entitled to request an extension of an additional six months if the extension is requested before the expiration of the initial six-month period.
