Terms of Service

Welcome to Bidvane (the "Service"), a service for finding and matching public-sector tenders in the United Kingdom and Ireland, 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, crawl, systematically copy or bulk-download content (whether manually or by automated means, including AI agents); resell, distribute or give a third party access to the Service; or interfere with the Service or circumvent its security or usage limits.

In addition, you must not: (a) use the Service, a trial, or any content obtained from it to build, train, improve or benchmark a competing product or dataset; (b) reverse-engineer, decompile or otherwise attempt to derive the Service's matching, analysis or aggregation methods; or (c) access the Service on behalf of, or for the benefit of, a competitor of the Company. We may suspend or terminate accounts that we reasonably believe breach this section.

7. Intellectual property and database rights

Rights in the Service — including its design, matching engine, eligibility analysis, code and the "Bidvane" and "Bidvane Intelligence Edge" brands — 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.

The Company has made substantial investment in obtaining, verifying and presenting the collections of data in the Service — including its enriched tender records, award-intelligence profiles and market aggregates — and asserts the database right in those collections under the Copyright and Rights in Databases Regulations 1997. Extraction or re-utilisation of the whole or a substantial part of any such collection is prohibited.

8. Subscription and billing

The subscription is a single plan that includes every feature of the Service — there is no higher tier, and features (including the Intelligence Edge tools and anything labelled "Preview") are not sold as separate paid add-ons. We may add, change or withdraw individual features from time to time, and will give reasonable advance notice of any material change, but your access to the Service is governed by the single subscription price then in effect.

The Service is currently provided free of charge for a limited period: there is no trial to expire, no subscription fee and no payment details are taken. If we introduce charging we will give at least one month's notice, and no one will be charged without expressly agreeing and providing payment details. 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.

This does not take away rights you have where you live. If you are in Ireland or elsewhere in the EU/EEA, any mandatory consumer-protection rights, and any right to bring proceedings in your own courts, apply regardless of this clause. Your data-protection rights, and the supervisory authority you can complain to, are set out in our Privacy Policy and are unaffected by the choice of law here.
