Currently, if you have not checked the availability prior to submitting the order (via the registry whois - https://www.nic.es/ in the top right corner), then the order is submitted and Tucows will check the availability prior to completing the order. If the domain is taken, we will cancel the request.
However, we are currently working on a feature that will provide RWI users with the ability to check availability from the RWI, prior to submitting the order.
