Terms of Service

Welcome to Bidvane (the "Service"), a service for finding and matching UK public-sector tenders, operated by YatedLabs ("we", "us", the "Company"). By using the Service — including browsing, registering and receiving emails — you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Definitions

• "Service" — the Bidvane website and the system for collecting, filtering, matching and analysing public tenders, including email digests.
• "User" — any person or organisation that uses or registers for the Service.
• "Tender content" — information about tenders gathered from official public sources (central government, contracting authorities, councils and other public bodies).

2. The Service

Bidvane gathers information about public tenders from official sources daily, shows you tenders matched to the business profile you provide, and offers supporting analysis of the eligibility criteria, dates and bonds. The Service is an informational aid only and is not a substitute for reviewing the official tender documents and the buyer's published notice.

3. No warranty as to accuracy or completeness

Tender content is gathered automatically from third-party sources. We make reasonable efforts to keep it current and accurate but do not warrant that it is complete, accurate, up to date or free from errors, omissions or delays. Tenders may be missing, details may be wrong, or dates may have changed. It is your responsibility to verify every detail — including the submission deadline, the eligibility criteria and any bonds — against the official tender documents and the buyer's published notice before relying on it or bidding.

4. Not legal or professional advice

Nothing in the Service — including the eligibility analysis or any content — constitutes legal, professional, financial or other advice. Decisions about whether to bid are yours alone, and you should take professional advice where appropriate.

5. Limitation of liability

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law (including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud). Subject to that, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of opportunity, profit or business, arising from your use of, or reliance on, the Service — including a missed tender, an incorrect detail or unavailability. In any event our total liability will not exceed the amount you paid for the Service in the three months before the event giving rise to the claim.

6. Acceptable use

You may use the Service only for your own legitimate business purposes. You must not: scrape, systematically copy or bulk-download content; resell, distribute or give a third party access to the Service; or interfere with the Service or circumvent its security.

7. Intellectual property

Rights in the Service — including its design, matching engine, eligibility analysis, code and the "Bidvane" brand — belong to the Company. The tender content itself belongs to the buyers and bodies that publish it. You may not make commercial use of the Service's content without our written permission.

8. Subscription and billing

The subscription includes a 14-day free trial, after which it becomes a paid monthly subscription that renews automatically until cancelled. Payments are processed by Paddle, which acts as the Merchant of Record. Cancellation, renewal and refunds are covered in our Refunds & Cancellation Policy.

9. Termination

You may stop using the Service and cancel at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if these terms are breached or where necessary to protect the Service or other users.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rights you may have.
