Terms of Service.

Last updated: July 5, 2026

1. The Service

Jobs & Bids (the "Service") is an information service that aggregates publicly posted government procurement opportunities and delivers them by email and through the Jobs & Bids website, which also includes an optional member marketplace (see Section 5A). The Service is operated by Jobs & Bids ("we", "us") from Chicago, Illinois.

2. Subscription & Billing

Paid subscriptions are billed monthly or annually and automatically renew until cancelled. Pro plans include a 14-day free trial; billing begins when the trial ends unless you cancel before then. Prices are exclusive of any applicable taxes.

You can cancel any time from your account’s billing page (“Manage subscription” on your Dashboard), which opens the secure Stripe billing portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and we do not pro-rate refunds for partial periods. The unsubscribe link in our emails stops the emails only and does not cancel a paid subscription. Billing questions: contact us.

All purchases are final. No refunds. Subscription fees, including the current billing period, are non-refundable under any circumstances. Cancelling stops future renewals but does not refund the period you are already in, and you keep access until it ends.

3. Accuracy of Data

Bid data is pulled from official government procurement sources and presented as-is. We make no warranty as to the completeness, accuracy, or timeliness of any bid information. You are responsible for verifying every detail directly with the issuing agency before bidding.

4. Limitation of Liability

The Service is provided "as is." We are not liable for any business loss, missed bid opportunity, or other damages arising from your use of (or inability to use) the Service. Maximum aggregate liability in any event is limited to the fees you have paid us in the prior three months.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to resell, scrape, automate, or otherwise re-distribute bid data delivered through the Service. The Service is for the use of the individual or business that holds the subscription.

5A. Member-Posted Jobs & Member Conduct

Members on the Pro plan may post jobs through the optional member marketplace, and members on any paid plan may browse and respond to them. Member-posted jobs are created by other members, not by Jobs & Bids; they are clearly badged “Member-posted · verify independently” and are kept separate from our government bid data. We do not vet, endorse, or guarantee any member, posting, response, or the work itself, and we never take a commission, finder’s fee, or any cut of a job; members connect and contract directly with each other. You are solely responsible for independently verifying any member, license, insurance, and the terms of any engagement before you contract or pay.

When you register, post a job, or respond, you attest that the identity, entity type (government, contractor, business, or individual), and other information you provide are accurate, and that you have the authority to act on behalf of any organization you claim to represent. Misrepresenting your identity, entity type, government or organizational affiliation, licensing, or any other material fact is grounds for immediate termination of your account, without refund, and may be reported to the relevant authorities. You must also keep all posts and responses free of unlawful, fraudulent, harassing, or offensive content; we may remove content and suspend or terminate accounts at our discretion.

6. Account & Data

You provide account, profile, and (if you use the marketplace) posting information as described in our Privacy Policy. We do not sell your information. We share it only with the service providers needed to operate the Service (such as Stripe, Cloudflare, Resend, and Google), as described in the Privacy Policy.

7. Changes

We may update these terms; if so, the updated terms apply starting at the next billing cycle. Material changes will be announced by email.
