Bidboum Platform
Version March 11, 2026
Boum d'Enchérir inc. / Bidboum inc., hereinafter referred to as “Bidboum”, is an online platform that allows users to participate in auctions in order to obtain vouchers redeemable for specific goods or services from certain retailers. To do so, the retailer offers, through Bidboum’s website hereinafter the “Site”, various goods or services of its choice, at a starting price of its choice, for which an auction will take place on the dates and times determined by Bidboum. The user may then place a bid, which will be awarded to the highest bidder upon expiry of the scheduled auction period. The user to whom the auction is awarded will have a period of twenty-four (24) hours to log in to their dashboard on the website, claim the relevant offer, pay the awarded amount, and select a time slot according to the availability indicated by the retailer, in order to obtain the voucher redeemable for the specified services from the retailer.
