Respondent is Taylor Smith of Khabarovsk, the Russian Federation.

2. The Domain Name and Registrar

The disputed domain name [tuihellas.com] is registered with Todaynic.com, Inc. (the "Registrar").

3. Procedural History

The Complaint was filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the "Center") on March 3, 2015. On March 3, 2015, the Center transmitted by email to the Registrar a request for registrar verification in connection with the disputed domain name. On March 5, 2015, the Registrar transmitted by email to the Center its verification response confirming that Respondent is listed as the registrant and providing the contact details.

The Center verified that the 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 Respondent of the Complaint, and the proceeding commenced on March 9, 2015. In accordance with the Rules, paragraph 5(a), the due date for Response was March 29, 2015.

On March 13, 2015, the Center received an email from Respondent apparently indicating that he agreed to transfer the disputed domain name. On the same day, the Center invited Complainant to comment whether it wished to suspend the proceeding for the purpose of settlement between the parties. Upon receipt of Complainant's request, the proceeding was suspended until April 1, 2015. Upon receipt of Complainant's later request, the proceeding was re-instituted on April 1, 2015, with a new Response due date of April 12, 2015. Respondent's further communications with the Center and Complainant are described below.
