Auction Start

If a Partner's backorder for the domain is not a single one, and RU-CENTER managed to register the domain in the Registry upon its release, this domain will go into a private auction.

We will inform the Partner and Partner's client of the auction starting moment, its terms and conditions via e-mail. This information will be also available 24 hours prior to starting auction on web-server www.auction.ru (section "My Auctions" - "Backordered Domains Auction" - "Auctions: active").

At the auction starting moment all bidders' stakes will be automatically set to 30 conventional money units. A conventional money unit is equal to 1 (one) US dollar.

The stakes of the bidders, who were first and second to have made their orders ready-to-process by the auction starting moment, will be deemed the Best Bid and Second Bid respectively.

How to Change a Bid

The Partner and Partner's client may change their bid in course of the auction. A new bid shall exceed the Best Bid for a value within the auction increment and be a round number. The auction increment ranges from 5 to 50 conventional money units.

The bid may be changed manually or through a Proxy bidding.

The following actions are to be taken to change the bid manually:

  • log in to web-server www.https://www.nic.ru/auction/, using administrative password;
  • in menu "My Auctions" select item " Backordered Domains Auction" - "Auctions: Active";
  • find the required domain in the list of active auctions and click on the domain name;
  • enter the required bid value into field "New bid" and click on "Enter".

The auction can be prolonged in the cases envisaged by the Auction Schedule. The auction closing moment is determined to the exact minute. Keep track of the auction status and wait until "Auction closing" message appears.

Proxy bidding

If you know the maximum price, you are ready to offer for a domain and if you want your bid to increase automatically during the auction up to a certain desired value, enter that value in the "Maximum bid" field and the Proxy biddingwill be increasing your bid automatically. Proxy bidding will bid up with a minimum possible auction increment and if only your bid is not the Best Bid.

How to Withdraw from Auction

The Partner may withdraw only in auction progress, if your bid is not the Best or the Second Bid.

The following steps are to be taken to withdraw from the auction:

  • log in to section "My Auctions" on web-server https://www.nic.ru/auction/, using administrative password;
  • select menu item "Backordered Domains Auction " - "Auctions: Active";
  • find the required domain in the list of your bids on active auctions and click on the domain name;
  • click on "Withdraw from auction".

The Partner may not re-enter the auction, once he withdrew from it. The Partner's client may not participate in the domain name auction either.

Auction Closing. Determining the Auction Winner

  • The auction Winner and the Bidder who offered the Second bid are defined upon auction closing. If the auction Winner fails to fulfill payment obligations, the domain name purchase right is transferred to the Bidder offering the Second bid, who thereby becomes the Auction Winner. RU-CENTER notifies thereof the former by e-mail.
     
  • Data on auction results and follow-up actions will be communicated to the Partner and his/her client.
     
  • RU-CENTER will expect money receipt from the Auction Winner:
    • The Auction Winner shall effect payment for purchasing the domain name within 10 (ten) calendar days from the moment of sending him/her notification that he/she is the Auction Winner. Auction Winners will be announced thereof through contact addressed specified in the Partner's contract.
    • If the Auction Winner fails to effect payment for the won domain name within the set period, the bidder who offered the second bid is entitled to buy this domain.
  • If the Partner is the Auction Winner and paid for the domain, RU-CENTER will transfer the domain name to the Auction Winner no later than 3 (three) business days upon domain payment.
     
  • If the Auction Winner, who offered the Second Bid, failed to pay for the domain within the set period, the auction will be deemed closed and RU-CENTER is entitled to use the domain name at its own discretion.

Payment Procedure

If the Partner becomes the Auction Winner, for domain payment he will be required to:

  • confirm his/her consent to pay for the domain on web-server www.https://www.nic.ru/auction/ in section "My auctions" (link "Backordered domains auction" - "Auctions: pending payment");
  • transfer money for domain payment to the personal account of his/her NIC-REG contract.

    How to recharge Personal Account

Upon domain payment the deposit will be released from blocking on the Partner's personal account.

The Partner may refuse to pay for the domain, if no money was blocked on the Partner's personal account. To refuse domain payment the Partner will be required to:

  • log in to section "My Auctions" on web-server www.https://www.nic.ru/auction/ , using administrative password;
  • select menu item "Backordered Domains Auction" - "Auctions: pending payment";
  • select the required domain and press link "Change Payment Terms";
  • select option "Cancel Payment".

The Partner may resume his/her consent to pay for the domain in the "My Auctions" section on web-server www.https://www.nic.ru/auction/ up to expiry of the domain set payment term. If the Partner failed to pay for the domain within the set period, the deposit will be withdrawn from the Partner's personal account as a fee from RU-CENTER expenses for the Partner's bidding.
