If I could suggest a middle ground compromise:
Update your ToS to not allow this type of bidding on any PPC search engine for exact spellings of your domains and pay the affiliate at the very least his cost to acquire the traffic upon showing you an invoice from Google.

its not a touchy subject.. in mainstream most affiliate companies have this clearly written in their terms.. you may not bid on certain terms on ppc..

the compromise is to re write his tos and pay the guy his money..

any other offer is one made of shit.... bull shit....
