Public Live Auction Rules

1. CatchDrop places all caught domains that we’re backordered by 2 or more customers in public live auctions.

All CatchDrop auctions are live public auctions and anyone with an account in good standing
can participate in any auction at anytime while the auction is still open for bids.

2. CatchDrop users must have a at least 1 valid form of payment method on file at all times.
Credit cards can be added or deleted from My Account tab under “My Dashboard”

3. All auctions begin on the day the domain was caught and run for 7 calendar days.

4. If a bid is placed during the last 3 minutes of an auction, the auction is extended so there is
3 minutes remaining from the time that bid is placed.

8. Live Public Auctions Bid Process

8.1 If a bid is placed during the last 3 minutes of an auction, the auction is extended
so there is 3 minutes remaining from the time that bid is placed.

8.2 Auction participants have the ability to place a minimum bid or to enter a maximum
bid which will become your proxy bid. CatchDrop will automatically proxy bid on your
behalf when you enter a maximum bid more than the minimum bid required.

8.3 You will be the new highest bidder if your maximum bid exceeds the leading bidders
bid by at least the next minimum bid increment required.

Example Scenario:

If the highest bidder is winning the auction at $150.00 the next bid to take lead is $165.00

( $150.00 + $15.00 miniminimum bid increment).

If you enter a maximum bid of $250.00 the new highest bid will be $165.00 and
you will have the remaining $85.00 in proxy (reserve) that the system will automatically
bid on your behalf in mimimum required bid increments should another bidder outbid
your previous winning bid of $165.00

9. Once the auction is completed, our system will automatically attempt to charge the highest bidder’s
default payment method within 24 hours from the end of the auction.

10. If the payment fails to go through for any reason, we will attempt to charge the same payment method consequently every 24 hrs for up to 3 times within a 72 hrs period.

If the payment is not successfully processed after 3 attempts within 72 hours,the user’s account will be suspended temporarily until payments due for won auctions or backorders are successfully received & processed.

11. Unpaid Domains Past The Grace Period

Domain auctions or backorders that remain unpaid past the grace period will be subject to the following:

11.1 Unpaid Domain Backorders

Any successful backorder which is not paid for by the CatchDrop account holder will result in the user forfeiting all rights to the backordered domain. The CatchDrop account associated may be suspended or terminated and the unpaid domains will be returned to the registry or placed in a 7 day live public auction.

11.2 Unpaid Won Domain Auctions

If payment is not received for a domain won in auction, CatchDrop reserves the right to either
award the domain to the second highest bidder or replace the domain in a 7 days live public auction.

In such a case, the CatchDrop account associated will be terminated and the user barred
from participating in future auctions.
