  • such an identical domain name has already been registered or a request for such registration is in process;
  • provide false information.
  • the domain name does not meet the technical requirements stipulated thereto.
  • the domain name to be in violation of the law, civil order and good ethics;
  • the domain name contains or gives a general indication that may be deceiving;
  • the domain name in SETAR’s judgment may give cause to confusion in society;
