Auction FAQ / Rules

Placing a Bid

1. Can I retract or cancel my bid?
   • Each bid you place enters you into a binding contract and is active until the end of the auction. If you have the top bid, you are obligated to honour your bid. Once a bid is made it cannot be cancelled or retracted. If the auction winner does not complete the transaction TBR.ca will at its sole discretion will either offer the domain to the second highest bidder or return the domain to auction. Auction winners who do not complete transaction may be banned from tbr.ca and the Ready Network Inc. at our digression. If for any reason you are the auction winner and cannot complete the transaction, make sure you contact us as soon as possible.
2. Who can join?
   • Any member of tbr.ca may place bids on any auction. If the member did not backorder the domain prior to being acquired, they will be permitted to place a single bid and may not utilize the auto bidding feature.
3. 1.What is the automatic bid? Is it possible to place a proxy bid?
   • When you enter your maximum bid and select the auto-bid option, TBR.ca will continue to bid for you automatically if you are outbid by another person just like a proxy bid. Bids will increment at the minimum next bid price up to your maximum auto-bid placed. If you unselect the auto-bid option, the bid you entered will become the binding bid. You can change your automatic bid at any time and like any other bid it enters you into a binding contract until the end of the auction. We will let you know by email if you are out bid, so you can place a higher bid. Automatic bidding is convenient if you are not available to attend the auction until the end or would rather not have to re-bid every time someone places a bid.
4. Do I need to backorder to participate in an auction?
   • Users who do not backorder a domain and wish to participate in the auction will have the opportunity to make one and only one bid. Once submitted it will become the current bid and if out bided he/she will not be able to offer another bid. Backordering the domains you want is highly recommended as it will allow you to place more than one bid in the auction and it was also alert TBR.ca that members are interested in acquiring the domain.
