Pre-Register .barcelona Domain Name .barcelona - .barcelona Domain Registration - .barcelona Domains

To register and renew a .barcelona domain name you must be an individual or a legal entity with a nexus to the .barcelona community. This nexus means that you must be linked to the community at the time of registration and thereafter on a linguistic, cultural, tourism, commercial basis, or any other activity conducive to the welfare of the .barcelona community. Registrants are required to state the intended use for the registered domain name. A false statement of intended use is an indication of bad faith and may be the basis for the suspension of the domain name.

In addition, the registrant’s use of the domain name must be:

• generally accepted as legitimate; and
• conducive to welfare of the .barcelona community; and
• commensurate to the role and importance of the domain, according to the judgement that an average user would reasonably make in the context of that domain name; and
• in compliance with Catalan consumer protection, product and services labelling, advertising and fair communication regulation; and
• in compliance with current linguistic protection laws, and
• based on good faith at registration and thereafter.
