These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and BidRise.pro ("BidRise," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of our website and services at bidrise.pro (the "Service"). These Terms apply to all users of the Service regardless of the U.S. state or territory in which they are located. By accessing or using the Service, creating an account, or clicking "I agree," you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
To use the Service, you must meet all of the following requirements:
If you are using the Service on behalf of a business, you represent and warrant that you have full authority to bind that entity to these Terms. If you do not have such authority, you must not use the Service.
BidRise.pro is a nationwide service available to businesses in all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and all U.S. territories. These Terms are designed to comply with applicable federal law and the consumer protection and privacy laws of all U.S. jurisdictions.
BidRise.pro operates in compliance with the following federal laws that apply uniformly across all states and territories:
In addition to federal law, BidRise.pro complies with applicable state consumer protection laws, privacy laws, automatic renewal laws, and data breach notification laws in every state where our users are located. Where state law provides greater consumer protections than federal law, those state protections apply to residents of that state. See Section 11 for state-specific consumer protections.
BidRise.pro is a federal contract intelligence platform that aggregates and presents publicly available government contracting opportunities from SAM.gov, USASpending.gov, the GovCon API, and related government data sources. The Service includes:
Important disclaimer — BidRise is an informational discovery tool only. We do not submit bids or proposals on your behalf, represent your business in any procurement process, provide legal advice, provide procurement consulting services, or guarantee any contracting outcome, award, or revenue. All bidding decisions, proposal submissions, and compliance with solicitation requirements are solely your responsibility. Always verify the details of any opportunity directly on SAM.gov before submitting any bid, proposal, or application.
| Plan | Monthly price | Billing cycle | Auto-renews |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | N/A | No |
| Starter | $29.00 | Monthly | Yes — see Section 5 |
| Pro Agency | $49.00 | Monthly | Yes — see Section 5 |
AUTOMATIC RENEWAL DISCLOSURE — required by the FTC Negative Option Rule and applicable state automatic renewal laws: Paid subscriptions (Starter at $29.00/month and Pro Agency at $49.00/month) automatically renew at the end of each monthly billing period at the then-current subscription price. By subscribing to a paid plan, you expressly authorize BidRise to charge your payment method on a recurring monthly basis until you cancel. You may cancel at any time through your account settings before the next renewal date to prevent future charges. See Section 5 for complete cancellation instructions.
The following states have enacted automatic renewal laws that impose additional requirements. BidRise complies with all of these laws:
| State | Key additional requirements | How we comply |
|---|---|---|
| California | Clear and conspicuous pre-purchase disclosure; acknowledgment before subscription begins; 3-business-day cancellation right with full refund; online cancellation mechanism; reminder notice for trials converting to paid plans (Bus. & Prof. Code § 17600) | Full disclosure at checkout; 3-day refund right honored; online cancellation always available in account settings; trial reminders sent by email |
| New York | Clear disclosure before purchase; written cancellation notice for annual plans; online cancellation available | Disclosed at checkout; email reminders before renewal; online cancellation always available |
| Illinois | Clear and conspicuous disclosure of automatic renewal terms before purchase | Fully disclosed at checkout and in these Terms |
| Delaware | Disclosure and online cancellation mechanism required | Disclosed at checkout; online cancellation available 24/7 in account settings |
| Oregon | Clear disclosure; online cancellation required | Disclosed at checkout; online cancellation available |
| All other states | General consumer protection and deceptive practices laws apply | Full disclosure provided; online cancellation always available; no hidden fees |
We will notify you by email at least 30 days before any price increase takes effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date of a price change constitutes acceptance of the new price. If you do not accept the new price, you must cancel before the effective date.
All payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. Your payment information is transmitted directly to and stored by Stripe. BidRise never stores your credit card number, CVV, or full payment details on our servers. By providing payment information, you also agree to Stripe's terms of service available at stripe.com/legal/ssa.
If a scheduled payment fails, we will notify you by email and attempt to retry the charge. If payment cannot be collected after reasonable retry attempts, your account may be downgraded to the Free plan. We will notify you by email before any such downgrade occurs.
You are responsible for all applicable taxes on your subscription. Where required by law, BidRise may collect and remit sales tax on subscriptions. If sales tax applies in your jurisdiction, it will be displayed at checkout before you complete your purchase.
You may cancel your BidRise subscription at any time by following these steps:
FTC Click to Cancel Rule compliance: In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's Click to Cancel Rule (16 CFR Part 425), cancellation of your BidRise subscription is available online through your account settings at all times — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. You are never required to call a phone number, send an email, write a letter, or contact a customer service representative to cancel your subscription. The cancellation process is no more difficult than the sign-up process.
BidRise does not offer refunds for partial billing periods that have already begun. If you cancel mid-period, you retain access through the end of that period and will not be charged going forward.
Exceptions: Refunds may be granted at our sole discretion for documented technical failures that prevented you from accessing the Service for more than 24 consecutive hours. Refund requests must be submitted within 7 days of the charge in question to billing@bidrise.pro with a description of the issue.
California residents who subscribe to a paid plan have the right to cancel within 3 business days of their initial paid subscription charge and receive a full refund, pursuant to California Business and Professions Code § 17600 et seq. To exercise this right, email billing@bidrise.pro within 3 business days of the charge with the subject line "California 3-Day Cancellation Request."
If a free trial is offered, the trial period length, the plan it converts to, the price after conversion, and the exact date of the first charge will be clearly disclosed to you before you begin the trial. You may cancel at any time before the trial ends without being charged.
When you create a BidRise account, you are responsible for:
Each BidRise account is for use by a single business entity only. You may not share your account credentials with other individuals or allow multiple users to access the Service through a single account. BidRise is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain the security of your account.
You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You expressly agree not to:
Violation of any of the above may result in immediate termination of your account without refund and may subject you to civil and criminal legal liability.
The Service and all of its components — including but not limited to its design, user interface, software code, AI models, algorithms, branding, logos, trademarks, original written content, and the selection and arrangement of government data — are owned by BidRise.pro and are protected by:
You may not copy, modify, distribute, reproduce, create derivative works from, publicly display, or exploit any portion of the Service without our express prior written permission.

By using the Service, you grant BidRise a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use Your Content solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you — including personalizing AI summaries, filtering opportunities, and maintaining your account.
We will never use Your Content for advertising purposes, sell it to third parties, use it to train AI models beyond improving your personal experience, or use it in any way unrelated to providing the Service to you.

Your privacy is fundamental to how we operate. Our complete Privacy Policy is available at bidrise.pro/legal/privacy.html and is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Key commitments:
Because BidRise.pro serves users in all 50 states, we comply with applicable consumer protection laws in every state. The following state-specific protections apply to residents of those states in addition to all general terms above:
Regardless of your state or territory of residence, BidRise honors the following baseline rights for every user: the right to access your personal data, the right to correct inaccurate data, the right to request deletion of your data, and the right to opt out of marketing communications at any time. Contact privacy@bidrise.pro. We will respond within 30 days.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE LAW:
Some states, including New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Missouri, do not allow the exclusion of certain implied warranties or the limitation of certain types of damages in consumer contracts. If the laws of your state of residence apply and do not permit these exclusions or limitations, some or all of the above may not apply to you, and you may have additional legal rights.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless BidRise.pro and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:
Termination by you: You may cancel your account and terminate your use of the Service at any time through your account settings as described in Section 5. Termination is effective at the end of your current paid billing period.
Termination by BidRise: BidRise may suspend or permanently terminate your access to the Service if you violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, engage in conduct that could harm other users or BidRise, or for any other legitimate business reason. Where reasonably practicable, we will provide advance notice before termination. In cases of serious violations, termination may be immediate and without prior notice.
Effect of termination: Upon termination of your account, your right to access and use the Service immediately ceases. The following sections survive termination and remain in full force and effect: Sections 8 (Intellectual Property), 9 (Data Accuracy Disclaimer), 10 (Privacy), 11 (State-Specific Protections), 12 (Limitation of Liability), 13 (Indemnification), and 15 (Dispute Resolution).
Before filing any formal legal claim against BidRise, you agree to first contact us at legal@bidrise.pro and make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute informally. Please describe the nature of your dispute and the relief you are seeking. We will respond within 30 days. Most disputes can be resolved quickly and informally without the need for formal proceedings.
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to the Service are governed by the laws of the State of New York and applicable federal law, without regard to New York's conflict of law principles. However, if you are a consumer located in a state whose laws do not permit consumer disputes to be governed by the law of another state, the consumer protection laws of your state of residence may also apply to provide you with additional rights.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that cannot be resolved informally shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by these Terms. The arbitration shall be conducted:
The following types of claims are excluded from arbitration and may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction:
YOU AND BIDRISE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Unless both you and BidRise agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
Exception for California residents: This class action waiver may not be enforceable as to claims brought under the California Consumers Legal Remedies Act (CLRA) or California Unfair Competition Law (UCL). California residents may have the right to bring such claims on a class basis notwithstanding this waiver.
Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court in the county of your residence or in New York County, New York, provided the claim qualifies under the applicable small claims court rules and monetary limits.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will:
Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must cancel your account and stop using the Service before the effective date. Online cancellation is always available in your account settings.
For changes that are not material — such as corrections of typographical errors, clarifications that do not affect your rights, or updates to contact information — we may update the Terms without prior notice, though we will always update the "Last updated" date.
For questions, concerns, or requests related to these Terms or the Service:
