2. Acceptance of Terms
3. Eligibility
By accessing or using the Services, you represent, warrant, and agree that: (a) you are using the Services solely for business or commercial purposes and not for any personal, family, or household purpose; (b) you are acting in the course of a trade, business, profession, or organizational activity; (c) if you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and “you” refers to both you individually and that organization; and (d) you meet all eligibility requirements set out above.
Because the Services are provided exclusively for business and commercial use, you acknowledge and agree that you are not a “consumer” for purposes of any consumer-protection law, and that consumer-protection laws and regulations that apply to transactions for personal, family, or household purposes do not apply to your use of the Services. This allocation reflects the commercial nature of the Services and the basis on which we make them available to you.
4. Description of the Services
(a) Search — a subscription service to search, track, and manage government and other bid and contract opportunities and award data. Search includes tools to save and organize opportunities (including favorites and tracking), and uses artificial intelligence to match opportunities to your profile and stated interests, surface similar or related opportunities, and extract and summarize information from solicitation and opportunity documents. AI-assisted matching, similar-bid identification, and extracted or summarized information are automated outputs that may be incomplete or inaccurate; they are subject to the disclaimers in Sections 8 and 11 and to our AI Use Policy, and you remain solely responsible for independently verifying any opportunity, match, summary, or extracted detail against the original source before relying on it. Search subscriptions are governed by the billing terms in Sections 7 and 9.
(b) Company Directory — a directory in which businesses can create profiles to be discovered by, and can search for, potential partners, subcontractors, and buyers (Section 13). We may use artificial intelligence to suggest, rank, or facilitate matches between businesses, buyers, and partners based on profile information, activity, and opportunity data. Any such match suggestions are automated, are not endorsements or recommendations, and do not verify the suitability, qualifications, or legitimacy of any party; you are responsible for your own due diligence.
(c) AI Matching and Search Intelligence — The Search service uses artificial intelligence to match opportunities to your profile and interests, surface similar or related bids, extract and summarize information from solicitation documents, and generate other analytical outputs about opportunities. These AI features are subject to the same no-guarantee, accuracy-verification, and no-professional-advice limitations described in Section 8 and in our AI Use Policy, and you remain solely responsible for independently verifying any AI-derived matching, summary, or extracted information against the original source.
(d) API — Notwithstanding anything contained within these Terms of Use, Bid Banana reserves the right to terminate or restrict access to its API or MCP at any time in its sole and absolute discretion. Programmatic access to Bid Data through the Bid Banana application programming interface (the “API”), offered as a subscription with a monthly record allowance. The API is governed in detail by Section 9. Bid Data you obtain through the API remains subject to the restrictions in Section 12, and API access grants no right to redistribute, resell, or build a competing or derivative dataset or service. Any such termination of a paid API subscription for reasons other than your breach of these Terms is subject to the refund provision in Section 9.4.
We may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time as described in Section 20.
5. Accounts and Registration
Your right to use the Services is personal to you and your organization. You may not sublicense, transfer, sell, or assign your Account or these Terms without our prior written consent.
6. Teams
7. Search Subscriptions; Billing, Renewal, and Cancellation
Automatic Renewal. When you subscribe, you authorize us to automatically charge your payment method on each renewal date until you cancel. Your subscription renews at the end of each subscription period (monthly or annual) unless you cancel before the start of the next billing cycle. We will notify affected subscribers of any future change to plans or renewal rates at least thirty (30) days in advance by electronic communication.
Cancellation. You may cancel at any time before the start of your next billing cycle. Open the account menu at the top right of Bid Banana, go to Account Settings > Billing, and select the cancel option for your subscription (labeled “Cancel Bid Banana Standard” or the name of your plan) at the bottom of the Billing page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period: your subscription remains fully active until the next payment due date, and you may reactivate it at any time before that date. If you cannot locate the option, email [email protected] and we will cancel the subscription for you.
No Refunds. If you cancel during a subscription period, the remaining portion of the subscription fee will not be refunded.
Termination by Us. If we terminate your subscription under Section 20 for reasons other than your breach of these Terms, we will refund the pro-rata portion of any prepaid subscription fee for the remainder of the then-current term.
8. AI Features and User Content
8.1 Acknowledgment of AI-Generated Content. The Services (including AI-assisted Search matching, identification of similar or related opportunities, and extraction and summarization of solicitation information) use artificial intelligence to analyze solicitations and generate AI Output. You expressly acknowledge and agree that:
(a) No human review. AI Output is generated by automated systems without review by any Bid Banana or Bid Lab employee or professional. Unlike The Bid Lab’s consulting services, no expert reviews AI Output. You are the sole reviewer.
(b) Errors are expected. AI Output is probabilistic and will contain errors, including factual inaccuracies, fabricated (“hallucinated”) information, omissions, incorrect interpretations of solicitation requirements, miscalculations, outdated information, and non-compliant or non-responsive content.
(c) Your responsibility to catch them. You are solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, fact-checking, editing, and correcting all AI Output before relying on it, submitting it, or using it for any purpose — including verifying compliance with all solicitation requirements, eligibility and certification criteria, formatting rules, and submission deadlines.
(d) No guarantees. We do not warrant that AI Output is accurate, complete, compliant, original, or fit for any purpose, and we do not guarantee any outcome, including that any proposal will be accepted, scored favorably, or awarded. All scores and verification tools used within the platform are internal working guidelines by us and you should not rely on them as an indication that your bid meets all the requirements of the solicitation and will be successful.
(e) Not advice. AI Output is provided for informational and comparison purposes only and is not professional, legal, procurement, or compliance advice, and use of the Services creates no advisory or professional relationship.
8.2 Your Content. You represent and warrant that you own or have all rights necessary to upload and use your User Content and to grant the licenses in Sections 8.3 and 8.4, that the User Content infringes no third party’s rights, and that the User Content does not violate any law or any confidentiality restriction — including any confidentiality restriction imposed by a third party or by the underlying solicitation — that would prohibit your use or our processing of it as contemplated by these Terms. We do not review User Content for accuracy, rights, or compliance, and we accept any document you upload at your direction and risk. You are solely responsible for the legality and accuracy of your User Content.
8.3 License to Provide the Services. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, and sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, process, modify, adapt, create derivative works from, and display User Content and AI Output to provide and support the Services.
8.4 License to Operate and Improve the Services. You grant us and our Affiliates a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, and sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, analyze, aggregate, create derivative works from, and otherwise process User Content, AI Output, and data about your use of the Services for any business purpose, including to operate, develop, train, and improve our and our Affiliates’ current and future products, services, datasets, and artificial-intelligence and machine-learning models, and to share that content with our service providers, including artificial-intelligence providers, for these purposes. This license includes the right to use User Content and AI Output to train, fine-tune, and improve artificial-intelligence models, including our own. It continues after your Account closes, and we are not required to remove User Content from models, datasets, or aggregated or de-identified data already created from it. You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant this license, including with respect to any third-party or solicitation materials you upload. Please refer to our AI Use Policy and Privacy Policy for the most up-to-date information about how your data is used. Notwithstanding Sections 8.3 and 8.4, we will not sell your User Content, and we will not disclose it in a form that identifies you or your organization to other customers or to unaffiliated third parties, other than service providers acting on our behalf, a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, or as required by law or directed by you. Before using User Content to train artificial-intelligence models, we will remove or de-identify personal information contained in it where reasonably practicable. User Content submitted before the effective date of this version of these Terms will be used to train artificial-intelligence models only in de-identified or aggregated form.
9. Bid Banana Subscriptions and Data
9.1 Credentials. Access to paid features of our services are provided under a paid subscription. On successful payment we provision an account for you and issue your Account credentials. You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential, for all activity conducted with it — including activity by your personnel, contractors, and applications. You may not share, sell, publish, or transfer any credentials, or embed one in client-side code or anywhere else a third party could extract it. Notify us immediately at [email protected] if you believe your credentials have been exposed. We may revoke any credentials we reasonably believe have been compromised or is being used in violation of these Terms.
9.2 Usage Allowance and Technical Limits. Each plan may include a monthly allowance of records, as stated in your plan and in our documentation. Records are counted per record returned, not per request, so a single request returning one hundred records consumes one hundred records of your allowance. When the allowance for a monthly period is exhausted, requests stop returning records until the next period begins; an exhausted allowance is not a failure of the Services and does not entitle you to any credit, extension, or refund. Unused allowance does not roll over. You may purchase a higher allowance at any time. Sustained high-volume use, redistribution, and any use beyond your plan require a separate written agreement with us. We may apply rate limits, request-size limits, and other technical controls, and may adjust them as reasonably necessary to protect the security, integrity, and availability of the Services.
9.3 Fees, Automatic Renewal, and Cancellation. Subscriptions are billed in advance for the full subscription term at the price shown at checkout, plus applicable taxes. When you subscribe, you authorize us to automatically charge your payment method on each renewal date until you cancel. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each term unless you cancel before the start of the next billing cycle. We will notify affected subscribers of any future change to subscription plans or renewal rates at least thirty (30) days in advance by electronic communication. You may cancel at any time before the start of your next billing cycle: open the account menu at the top right of Bid Banana, go to Account Settings > Billing, and select “Cancel Bid Banana Standard” (or the name of your plan) at the bottom of the Billing page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current subscription term — your access and credentials remain active until that date and stop working when the term ends — and you may reactivate at any time before that date. If you cannot locate the option, email [email protected] and we will cancel the subscription for you. Canceling a subscription does not cancel any other subscription (Section 7).
9.4 No Refunds. Subscription fees are non-refundable. If you cancel during a subscription term, the remaining portion of the fee will not be refunded, and no partial-period, unused-allowance, or unused-month refund or credit is provided. If we terminate your access under Section 20 for reasons other than your breach of these Terms, we will refund the pro-rata portion of your prepaid subscription fee for the remainder of the then-current term. We may suspend or revoke access in the event of a chargeback, payment reversal, or suspected fraud or violation of these Terms.
9.5 Permitted Use of Data. Data you retrieve from our system or through the Services is Bid Data and remains subject to Section 12. Subject to these Terms and to your payment of applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to retrieve and use Bid Data solely for your own internal business purposes. Unless we expressly agree otherwise in a separate written agreement, you shall not: (a) republish, redistribute, resell, syndicate, sublicense, or otherwise make Bid Data available to any third party; (b) use Bid Data to build, train, populate, or operate any product, service, dataset, database, or artificial-intelligence model that competes with or is similar to the Services; (c) use the API to assemble a bulk or standing copy of the Bid Data, or retain Bid Data after your subscription ends except as reasonably required by your own record-retention obligations; (d) use multiple accounts, multiple credentials, or any other means to exceed or circumvent your usage allowance, any rate limit, or any other technical control; or (e) remove, obscure, or alter any attribution, identifier, or notice returned with a record. Where you surface an opportunity to your own audience, you must link to that opportunity on Bid Banana using the partner link returned with each record. If you wish to redistribute Bid Data or embed it in a product offered to others, contact us about a partnership before doing so.
9.6 Your Applications and End Users. You are solely responsible for any application, integration, or service you build using the data being provided to you, for its security, and for the conduct of everyone you permit to use it. You must comply with all applicable laws in your use of any data, and you must not use the data to transmit or process unlawful, infringing, or malicious content. If your application permits use by third parties, you remain fully responsible to us for their acts and omissions as if they were your own, and you will impose obligations on them at least as protective of us as these Terms.
9.7 Availability, Changes, and Support. The Services and data are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis and are subject to the disclaimers in Sections 10, 11, 17, and 18. We do not commit to any uptime, latency, response time, or other service level for the system or Services unless we agree to one in a separate written agreement. We may modify, add, or remove endpoints, parameters, fields, and response formats, and may change or deprecate any version of the system or Services, at any time. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of a material breaking change by electronic communication. You are responsible for maintaining and updating your integration, and we are not liable for any failure of your integration resulting from a change to, or deprecation of, the system or Services. Support is provided by email at [email protected] and is not a guaranteed service level.
9.8 Suspension. In addition to our rights under Section 20, we may throttle, suspend, or revoke your subscription access or any credentials immediately and without prior notice if we reasonably believe your use threatens the security, integrity, availability, or lawful operation of the Services, violates Section 12 or this Section 9, or exceeds your usage allowance. Where practicable, we will notify you and give you an opportunity to correct the issue.
9.9 Accuracy of Data. Bid Data delivered through the system or Services is subject to Section 11. Records may be incomplete, delayed, superseded, or inaccurate, and any AI-derived field — including matched, extracted, or summarized information — is subject to Section 10. You are solely responsible for verifying any record against the issuing authority’s original source before relying on it, and for any decision you or your end users make on the basis of it.
10. AI Output Disclaimer
11. Bid Data: Accuracy and Independent Verification
You are solely responsible for independently verifying all Bid Data — including the existence, status, requirements, and submission deadlines of any opportunity — directly with the issuing agency or original source before relying on it or taking any action. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any government agency or other source. The inclusion of any opportunity, award, or entity in the Services is not an endorsement and does not mean it is open, valid, accurate, or available. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any decision made, action taken, opportunity missed, or loss incurred in reliance on Bid Data.
12. Proprietary Data; Restrictions on Use
You shall not, and shall not permit any third party or automated system to:
(a) access, copy, scrape, crawl, harvest, index, spider, or extract Bid Data or any portion of the Services by automated or manual means, except through functionality we expressly provide;
(b) bulk download, reproduce, store, or compile Bid Data, or create any database or dataset derived from the Services;
(c) use, distribute, sell, resell, rent, lease, sublicense, publish, or otherwise make the Services or Bid Data available to any third party, or use them for any purpose external to your own internal business use;
(d) use the Services or Bid Data to build, train, develop, or operate any product, service, dataset, database, or machine-learning or artificial-intelligence model that competes with or is similar to the Services;
(e) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code or structure of any part of the Services;
(f) share, sell, or transfer your Account credentials, access the Services through another user’s credentials, or circumvent or attempt to circumvent any access control, paywall, rate limit, login requirement, or security measure;
(g) remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary or copyright notice; or
(h) frame, mirror, or otherwise replicate any part of the Services.
We may monitor use of the Services to detect and prevent prohibited activity, and may throttle, suspend, or terminate access for actual or suspected violations. You acknowledge that any violation of this Section would cause us irreparable harm for which monetary damages are inadequate, and that we are entitled to seek injunctive and other equitable relief, without the need to post a bond, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity.

The existence of more than one claim will not enlarge these limits.
19. Indemnification
Legal Proceedings, Testimony, and Cooperation. We are under no obligation to participate in, provide testimony for, produce documents in connection with, or otherwise support any litigation, arbitration, government investigation, audit, or other legal or administrative proceeding involving you or your use of the Services. If you request such assistance, we may, in our sole discretion, agree to provide it pursuant to a separate written agreement and on terms of compensation mutually agreed upon in advance, including reimbursement of our reasonable costs, attorneys’ fees, and staff time.
If we or our Affiliates are compelled by subpoena, court order, discovery request, or other legal process to produce documents, provide testimony, or otherwise respond in connection with any proceeding arising out of or relating to your use of the Services (other than a proceeding in which we assert a claim against you), you agree to reimburse us for the reasonable costs we incur in responding, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, staff time, and related expenses.

If the dispute is not resolved, it will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its applicable rules, by a single arbitrator, on an individual basis.
