Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using BIDS at bids.freedomproject.ai or any related services offered by The Freedom Project, LLC (“The Freedom Project”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree with any of these terms, you are prohibited from using BIDS or its services.

BIDS is a product of The Freedom Project, LLC. Where these terms do not address a topic specifically, the general company terms at freedomproject.ai/terms-of-service apply to the extent they are not superseded by this document.

2. BIDS Services

BIDS (Business Intelligence and Discovery System) is a web application that aggregates publicly available federal, state, and local contract and grant opportunities, matches them to your business profile, and delivers notifications and summaries at your chosen frequency.

BIDS may offer free and paid subscription tiers. Feature availability, source coverage, notification limits, and other capabilities may vary by tier. Current plan details are displayed within the application at the time you subscribe or upgrade.

3. Modifications to Services

The Freedom Project reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate BIDS or any feature at any time, with or without notice. We may also update these Terms of Service at any time. Continued use of BIDS after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.

4. No Guarantee of Results or Awards

Use of BIDS does not guarantee specific business results, revenue increases, contract awards, grant awards, or any other outcome. Results vary based on individual business circumstances, market conditions, agency requirements, and other factors outside our control.

BIDS surfaces opportunities that may match your profile. Matching is automated and informational only. You are solely responsible for determining eligibility, preparing submissions, and meeting all deadlines and requirements of the issuing agency.

5. Prohibited Use

You agree not to misuse BIDS. The following are prohibited:

• Unauthorized reproduction, scraping, or resale of BIDS content or data
• Programmatic access outside of any APIs or features we explicitly provide
• Using BIDS for any unlawful purpose
• Attempting to gain unauthorized access to any part of BIDS or its systems
• Transmitting malicious code or interfering with platform functionality
• Sharing account credentials or reselling access without authorization

6. Intellectual Property

All BIDS content — including text, graphics, logos, software, match scores, summaries, and interface design — is the property of The Freedom Project, LLC and is protected by applicable copyright and intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce or distribute any content without prior written permission, except as permitted by your subscription tier and normal use of the service.

7. Subscriptions, Payments & Refunds

Paid BIDS subscriptions are billed through Stripe. By subscribing to a paid tier, you authorize recurring charges at the rate and interval shown at checkout until you cancel. The Freedom Project does not store your full credit card or payment credentials; payment data is handled by Stripe under their security standards.

You may cancel a paid subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting us. Cancellation stops future billing; access to paid features typically continues through the end of the current billing period unless otherwise stated at checkout.

Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis unless a specific promotional offer states otherwise. Billing questions should be directed to [email protected].

We may change subscription pricing or tier features. Material price increases for existing subscribers will be communicated in advance where required by law or by Stripe billing policies.

8. Free Tier

BIDS may offer a free tier with limited features. We reserve the right to modify free tier availability, limits, or features at any time. Transitioning from free to paid tiers, or changing between paid tiers, is subject to the pricing and terms displayed in the application at the time of change.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Freedom Project, LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, BIDS, including missed deadlines, lost opportunities, or business decisions made based on information presented in the platform.

10. Governing Law

These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
