Rules for the First DibsTM Service Queue
We will accept requests for First Dibs subscriptions until just before the registry goes live. When the registry accepts First Dibs subscriptions, we will try to obtain the First Dibs subscription for the names you have in the queue, by requesting them from the registry.
This queue has a bidding system in place, whereby you will be able to place a bid on each First Dibs. You do not have to bid on any First Dibs if you do not want to. If you do not bid on the First Dibs, it will be placed in the queue with the lowest rank (at the $35 level). If you decide to bid, the bid amount must be $15 or more (the minimum bid is $15), and the First Dibs will be placed in the queue at that rank. For example, if you bid $20, the First Dibs is placed in the queue at the $55 rank ($55= $35 + $20) The bid system will act as a tie-breaker for high demand names. By placing First Dibs in the queue you are committing to pay $35 plus the bid amount if we obtain the First Dibs for you. If you do not wish to place a bid, please leave the Bid Amount at $0.
How it works: When the queue opens (it is now open), you will be able to add as many First Dibs for as many names as you wish and you can view a list of your requested First Dibs and their associated names. When the registry goes live we will attempt to submit the queue to the registry in ranked order.
Your available balance will be deducted just before we submit the queue, unless you have made special arrangements in advance. We will not attempt to obtain the First Dibs for you if you do not have the available funds in your account and your First Dibs will be removed from the queue. Once we obtain the First Dibs for you, and only if we obtain the First Dibs for you, you will be charged the First Dibs price plus the bid amount, if any, for each First Dibs we obtain for you. The First Dibs is not yours until we have collected these fees from you.
Please be aware that your account will have that amount reserved for the duration of the First Dibs being in the queue.
This queue is not on a first-come-first-serve basis, though it is likely that the registry's acceptance of First Dibs will be. So if you put a First Dibs for a name in the queue and someone else asks for a First Dibs associated with that same name, the person with the highest bid will be awarded the name (as long as all other processes such as charges resolve properly), and assuming we get the name, and no matter what actual order we submit the queue in.
Important notes:
- If you have a reseller account, make sure you have enough in your account, or make special arrangements with eNom.
- Bids for First Dibs over $25 cannot be removed.
- "Requesting" a First Dibs subscription is not a guarantee that the First Dibs subscription will be registered and awarded to you. Other customers from different Registrars might have a request for the same First Dibs subscription. eNom will make a best attempt to register the First Dibs subscriptions in the ranked order, however, we cannot guarantee that any of the First Dibs for any of the names will actually be obtained, and if obtained, actually awarded to you.
- Make sure to read the First Dibs Terms and Conditions and the First Dibs FAQ.
