Email Subject 1: auDA Complaint (Warranty Check) for [Domain] - 14 Day Notice
Email Subject 2: auDA Complaint (.id.au Warranty Check) for [Domain] - 14 Day Notice
When auDA performs a Warranty Check, it means that they cannot determine how a Domain Name meets their allocation rules. When performing these checks, auDA compares the Registrant information to the domain name itself.
If auDA reviews a Domain Name and cannot determine how it meets allocation rules, they will proceed with a Warranty Check.
Resolving these types of audits can be done by explaining to auDA how you meet the allocation criteria for your domain. Supporting documentation can also be provided, such as:
- Proposing new Registrant information with a stronger connection to the domain name, or;
- A statutory declaration outlining how your domain meets allocation criteria.
- Identity documents which include the nickname;
- Statutory declaration from the applicant or others attesting to the use of the nickname; (where a statutory declaration is the only evidence, then at least one other stat declaration from friends, colleagues and the general public is required);
- Other evidence of the use of the nickname, which may include:
- formal correspondence in which the nickname is used, or;
- social media accounts using the name as their personal name.
