Terms of Service

TechBids provides a subscription-based platform that aggregates and displays Canadian government technology procurement opportunities. Our Services include:

• Access to a searchable database of technology-related government bids from across Canada
• AI-powered classification and summarization of procurement opportunities
• Daily email notifications of new relevant opportunities
• Bid tracking and pipeline management tools

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Services at any time with reasonable notice.

To access the Services, you must create an account. You agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration
• Maintain and promptly update your account information
• Maintain the security and confidentiality of your login credentials
• Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account
• Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account

You must be at least 18 years of age or the age of majority in your province or territory to create an account. Each subscription is for a single user; sharing login credentials with others is not permitted.

4.1 Billing. TechBids offers monthly, quarterly, and yearly subscription plans. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis at the applicable rate. All prices are in Canadian Dollars (CAD) and are exclusive of applicable taxes (GST/HST/QST).

All content on the Site, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, icons, software, and the overall design and arrangement of the Site, is the property of TechBids or its licensors and is protected by Canadian and international intellectual property laws.

The procurement bid data displayed on TechBids is sourced from publicly available government procurement portals. While we aggregate and organize this data, the underlying bid content remains the property of the respective government agencies. We do not claim ownership of the original bid content.

Our AI-generated summaries, classifications, and analysis are proprietary content owned by TechBids.

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, we do not warrant that:

• The bid information displayed on the Site is complete, accurate, or current at all times
• The Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components
• The AI-generated summaries or classifications are error-free

You should always verify bid details directly with the issuing government agency before submitting a response. TechBids is a discovery and notification tool, not a substitute for due diligence.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TECHBIDS AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

• Loss of profits, revenue, or business opportunities
• Loss of data or business interruption
• Damages arising from missed bids, deadlines, or procurement opportunities
• Damages resulting from inaccurate bid information or AI classifications

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO TECHBIDS IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of the Province of Ontario, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
