3. Procedural History

The Complaint was filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the "Center") on January 29, 2016. On February 1, 2016, the Center transmitted by email to the Registrars a request for registrar verification in connection with the disputed domain names. On February 12, 2016, the Registrar Rebel.com Corp. transmitted by email to the Center its verification response, disclosing registrant and contact information for the disputed domain name [buyharvonicheap.com] which differed from the named Respondent and contact information in the Complaint. On February 2, 2016, the Registrar JSC Registrar R01 transmitted by email to the Center its verification response, disclosing registrant and contact information for the disputed domain names [buygenericharvoni.net] and [buygenericharvonionline.com] which differed from the named Respondent and contact information in the Complaint. On February 18, 2016, the Registrar Reg.RU LLC transmitted by email to the Center its verification response, disclosing registrant and contact information for the disputed domain names [buyharvonionline.net] and [buyharvonionline.org] which differed from the named Respondent and contact information in the Complaint. The Center sent an email communication to the Complainant on February 18, 2016, providing the registrants and contact information disclosed by the Registrars, and inviting the Complainant to submit an amendment to the Complaint. The Complainant filed an amendment to the Complaint on the same date.

On February 18, 2016, the Center sent an email communication to the Parties in both English and Russian, regarding the language of the proceeding.
