Shedule of Fees

(a)   The filing of a challenge is subject to the payment of a Challenger’s fee in the amount of USD 500, comprising of a non-refundable fee of USD 100 and a refundable fee of USD 400.  This fee is to be paid by bank transfer or Cheque at the time of the submission of the challenge in accordance with Paragraph 3 (c)(xii).  If the Centre is not satisfied that the Challenger’s fee has been paid within 15 days of the filing of the challenge, the Centre will dismiss the challenge on the basis of the Challenger’s failure to pay the Challenger’s fee. 

(b)    The filing of a response is subject to the payment of a Respondent’s fee in the amount of USD 500.  This fee is to be paid by bank transfer or by cheque within ten (10) days of the date of commencement of the administrative proceeding in accordance with Paragraph 5 (a).  If the Respondent fails to provide the bank information for the payment of the Respondent’s fee within ten (10) days of the date of commencement of the administrative proceeding, the Centre will send a reminder to the Respondent requiring it to submit such payment within ten (10) further days.  If the Centre is not satisfied that the Respondent’s fee has been paid within this period, the challenge will be granted on the basis of the Respondent’s failure to pay its fee. If the Challenger has requested transfer, this will be subject to a decision by the Panel that the challenge complies with the sunrise registration conditions set forth in Policy Paragraph 4(c), failing which Policy, Paragraph 4 (e)(iii) shall apply.
