Art. 58

The Registry may, on its own initiative or at the request of the registrar concerned, revoke the allocation of a domain name:

1. if it appears that a generic designation allocated as a domain name should have been allocated under a naming mandate; the beneficiary of the naming mandate shall pay the former holder compensation which includes all the costs of registration and management of the revoked domain name;
2. if it is evident, on the basis of a brief examination, that the designation allocated as a domain name infringes a trademark right;
3. if the domain name contains a geographical denomination which is of particular interest for all or part of the Swiss community and is required by a public body or another public law organisation; the latter pays the former holder compensation which includes all the costs of registration and management of the revoked domain name;
4. if there is justifiable suspicion that the holder has applied for the registration for the sole purpose of harming the reputation of the holder of a legitimate interest in this name or a connected name, or that of a product or service associated with this name in the mind of the public;
5. if there is justifiable suspicion that the holder has applied for the allocation for the purpose of profiting from the reputation of the holder of a legitimate interest in this name or in a name or product associated with this name in the mind of the public;
6. if the characteristics or values which underlie the domain so require;
7. ¹ if an individual who is a holder is not a Swiss citizen and moves abroad; a domain name may be revoked subject to the following requirements:

1. the holder fails to identify themself correctly within 30 days or fails to provide a valid correspondence address in Switzerland, despite being requested to do so by the Registry, OFCOM or a Swiss authority intervening within the scope of its responsibilities,

2. the holder uses the domain name to offer goods or services, or for their own personal promotion,

3. there are reasonable grounds to believe that the holder is using the domain for an unlawful purpose or in an unlawful manner in accordance with Swiss law.
