These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the BidForge platform and related services (the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.
1. The Service
BidForge provides autonomous construction estimating tools, including takeoff, cost estimation, and proposal generation. We may modify, add, or remove features over time.
2. Accounts
- You must provide accurate information and keep your credentials secure.
- You are responsible for all activity under your account.
- You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service.
3. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for unlawful, infringing, or harmful purposes.
- Reverse engineer, scrape, or attempt to disrupt or compromise the Service.
- Upload content you do not have the right to use, or that violates third-party rights.
- Resell or provide access to the Service except as expressly permitted.
4. Your Content
You retain all rights to the plans, specifications, and other materials you upload (“Customer Content”). You grant BidForge a limited license to process Customer Content solely to provide the Service to you. You are responsible for ensuring you have the rights to upload and process your Customer Content.
5. Estimates and Professional Judgment
BidForge outputs — including takeoffs, estimates, and proposals — are decision-support tools, not professional engineering, legal, or financial advice. You are responsible for reviewing and validating all outputs before relying on them or submitting any bid. BidForge does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or outcome of any estimate or bid.
6. Subscriptions and Billing
- Paid plans are billed in advance on a recurring basis unless otherwise stated.
- Fees are non-refundable except where required by law.
- We may change pricing with reasonable advance notice for future billing periods.
7. Intellectual Property
The Service, including all software, models, and content (excluding Customer Content), is owned by BidForge and protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service per these Terms.
8. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
9. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BIDFORGE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS OR DATA. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
10. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for violation of these Terms or to protect the Service. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases.
11. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
12. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which BidForge is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
