Case No. D2015-0334

1. The Parties

The Complainant is TASER International, Inc. of Arizona, United States of America ("USA"), represented by J Clark Law Firm, PLLC, United States of America.

The Respondents are Domains by Proxy, LLC of Arizona, United States of America / Richard Carmona, TASER International, Ldt. of London, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in respect of the first disputed domain name and Domain Proxy of Virgin Islands, the overseas territory of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in respect of the second disputed domain name.

2. The Domain Names and Registrars

The disputed domain name [taser24.com] is registered with PSI-USA, Inc. dba Domain Robot and the disputed domain name [taser24.info] is registered with Wild West Domains, LLC (the "Registrars").

3. Procedural History

The Complaint was filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the "Center") on February 26, 2015. On February 27, 2015, the Center transmitted by email to the Registrars a request for registrar verification in connection with the disputed domain names. On March 2, 2015, the Registrars transmitted by email to the Center their verification responses disclosing registrant and contact information for the disputed domain names which differed from the named Respondents and contact information in the Complaint. The Center sent an email communication to the Complainant on March 6, 2015 providing the registrant and contact information disclosed by the Registrar, and inviting the Complainant to submit an amendment to the Complaint. The Complainant filed an amended Complaint on March 9, 2015.

The Center verified that the Complaint together with the amended Complaint satisfied the formal requirements of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Policy" or "UDRP"), the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Rules"), and the WIPO Supplemental Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Supplemental Rules").

In accordance with the Rules, paragraphs 2(a) and 4(a), the Center formally notified the Respondents of the Complaint, and the proceedings commenced on March 25, 2015. In accordance with the Rules, paragraph 5(a), the due date for Response was April 14, 2015. The Respondents did not submit any response. Accordingly, the Center notified the Respondents' default on April 15, 2015.

The Center appointed Warwick A. Rothnie as the sole panelist in this matter on April 28, 2015. The Panel finds that it was properly constituted. The Panel has submitted the Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality and Independence, as required by the Center to ensure compliance with the Rules, paragraph 7.
