Terms of Service

Version 1.0 · Effective September 20, 2026

Working draft. This is Version 1.0 of our Terms of Service. The exact version and timestamp you accept is recorded at checkout, and any future material update will be presented for re-acceptance rather than applied retroactively. It still needs the business's legal entity name, mailing address, and governing-law state filled in below, and a licensed attorney should review it before it's relied on as a binding compliance document.

1. Agreement to Terms

By creating an account, subscribing to, or otherwise using the procurement-intelligence digest service operated by [Your Business Name] (“Bidwhisper,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), you (“Customer,” “you”) agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you don’t agree, don’t use the Service. These Terms are presented to you, and your acceptance is recorded with the specific version and timestamp, at the time you complete checkout through our payment processor, Stripe.

2. Description of the Service

Bidwhisper monitors publicly accessible sources — government agency websites, procurement portals, public budget and planning documents, and public company websites — to identify potential public-sector purchasing opportunities and deliver them to subscribers as an email digest (Daily or Weekly, per your selected plan), matched against the product/service categories associated with your account.

3. Data Source Disclaimer — Please Read Carefully

Everything Bidwhisper surfaces is derived from publicly accessible sources, and none of it is independently verified, audited, or guaranteed by us.

4. No Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law: the Service and all data, alerts, and content we provide are furnished “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. [Your Business Name] and its officers, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, business opportunity, or data, arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Service — including but not limited to a missed, inaccurate, delayed, or incomplete opportunity notice — even if we’ve been advised of the possibility of such damages. Where liability cannot be fully excluded by law, our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the three (3) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

5. Subscriptions, Billing, and Cancellation

6. Acceptable Use

You may use the Service only for your own or your employer’s business purposes. You agree not to: (a) resell, redistribute, or systematically republish the compiled/matched opportunity data we deliver to you as a competing product; (b) attempt to scrape, reverse-engineer, or bulk-extract data from the Service beyond your own normal use of your digest emails; or (c) use the Service in violation of any applicable law.

7. Your Account

You’re responsible for the accuracy of the product/service category information used to match opportunities to you, and for keeping your contact/billing email current. You must be authorized to bind the business you’re subscribing on behalf of.

8. Outreach & Opt-Outs

If you received an email from us before becoming a subscriber, see our Privacy Policy for how we handle outreach opt-outs and unsubscribe requests — the same commitments apply regardless of subscription status.

9. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its matching methodology, categorization taxonomy, and the compiled/formatted presentation of opportunity data (as distinct from the underlying public facts themselves, which remain public), is owned by [Your Business Name]. These Terms don’t grant you any rights to our trademarks, branding, or underlying technology beyond what’s needed to use the Service as intended.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service for non-payment, violation of these Terms, or abuse of the Service, with notice where practicable. You may terminate by canceling your subscription at any time.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Each version is dated and versioned; the version you agreed to at checkout is the version that governs your subscription unless and until you’re presented with, and accept, a materially updated version. Materially updated versions will be presented for re-acceptance rather than applied retroactively without notice. The current version and effective date are always shown at the top of this page.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of [State — TBD], without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, and any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in [County/State — TBD].
