Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the Terms) are a legal agreement between you and the operator of Space Tenders (we, us, our). Space Tenders is operated by an individual, whose legal name is given on request and will be published here before paid plans open.

You accept the Terms when you create an Account, join the free digest list, or otherwise use the Service. If you do not accept them, do not use the Service.

If you use the Service for a company or other organization, you confirm that you have authority to accept the Terms for it, and you then means both you and that organization.

The Privacy Policy and the Refund Policy form part of the Terms.

In the Terms:

• Service means the website at spacetenders.com, the feed, the weekly digest and any email we send you about them.
• Notice means a tender, grant, call or other opportunity published by a government body or agency.
• Source means a public portal on which an agency publishes Notices.
• Summary means the English text, category, stage and other fields that we add to a Notice.
• Account means your registered sign in to the Service.
• Free Trial means the period of free access described in section 5.
• Subscription means a paid plan that gives access to the feed for a Subscription Period of one month or one year.

The Service reads 16 Sources once a day and lists the space related Notices it finds. Each entry shows the title, a Summary, the facts the agency published and a link to the original Notice on the Source. The Sources are listed on the coverage page.

The Service helps you find Notices. You read the full Notice and submit any bid or application on the agency's own portal, under that agency's rules.

We do not host tender documents, write proposals, submit bids or act as your agent or representative before any agency.

Space Tenders is independent. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting for any government body or agency.

The Service is open to any company, institution or individual. You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a contract.

You must give an accurate email address that you control, and keep your sign in details confidential. You are responsible for activity under your Account. Tell us promptly at hello@spacetenders.com if you believe it has been used without your permission.

An Account is for one named person. A team Subscription covers the number of people stated when it is bought, each with their own Account.

A new Account receives a Free Trial of 14 days of the full feed. No payment details are requested.

When the Free Trial ends, access to the feed pauses. Nothing is charged, and your saved searches are kept. Access resumes if you take a Subscription.

Each person may have one Free Trial, unless we agree in writing to extend it.

Prices are shown on the pricing page in US dollars. A Subscription is paid in advance for each Subscription Period.

A Subscription renews automatically at the end of each Subscription Period, at the price then in force for you, until you cancel it under section 7.

Online checkout is not yet open. Until it opens, you request a Subscription by email and we reply with payment instructions. No charge is made without your agreement.

Once checkout opens, orders may be processed by a payment provider acting as merchant of record. The provider is then the seller of the Subscription for payment purposes, handles billing and applicable taxes, and its buyer terms apply to the payment. We will name the provider here before checkout opens.

Prices exclude taxes such as VAT, GST or sales tax, which are added at payment where the law requires.

The founding price is offered to the first 10 customers. A customer who has it keeps it for as long as the Subscription continues without interruption.

We may change the regular price. A change applies from your next renewal, and we give you at least 30 days' notice by email before it does.

You may cancel a Subscription at any time by emailing hello@spacetenders.com from the address on your Account or, once checkout is open, through the payment provider.

After cancellation the Subscription does not renew. You keep access until the end of the Subscription Period already paid for.

Any payment is refunded in full if you ask within 14 days of the date it was made. The Refund Policy sets out the details.

Notices are published by agencies, not by us. Their content, accuracy and timing are the responsibility of the publishing agency. Requests to correct a Notice itself should go to that agency.

The Notice on the Source is the only authoritative version. Agencies amend, extend and withdraw Notices, sometimes after we have read them. Before you rely on a deadline, a budget, an eligibility rule or any other term, confirm it on the Source.

We do not promise that the Service contains every Notice that a Source publishes, or that a Notice appears on the day the agency publishes it. A Source may change its format, restrict access or be unavailable.

If you tell us that an entry is wrong or that a Notice is missing, we will review it. Use the address on the contact page.

Summaries are produced by automated tools, including a language model. That covers the English summary, translations, the category, the stage, the deadline we display and any eligibility note.

A Summary may be incomplete, out of date or wrong, and it may omit conditions that matter to you. It does not replace reading the Notice and its documents.

The Service provides information. Nothing in it is legal, procurement, financial, tax or export control advice, and you should take professional advice where you need it.

We do not assess whether you are eligible for a Notice. We do not guarantee that you will be allowed to bid, that a bid will be accepted or that you will win any contract, grant or funding.

The decision to bid, and the cost and content of any bid, are yours alone.

You may use the Service for your own work and that of your organization: reading the feed, saving searches, and sharing individual entries with colleagues, partners and clients with whom you are preparing a bid.

You must not:

• resell, sublicense or republish the feed or a substantial part of it, or use it to build or supply a competing product, database or service
• access or collect content with scripts, crawlers, scrapers or other automated tools, except through a feature we provide for that purpose
• share an Account or its sign in details with another person
• attempt to bypass access controls, probe or test the security of the Service, or interfere with its operation
• use the Service in breach of any law that applies to you

Notice data belongs to the publishing agency, or is public information, and is used under the terms of each Source. We claim no ownership of it.

The Summaries, the selection and arrangement of the feed, the website and its software belong to us. For as long as you have a Free Trial or a Subscription, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use them as section 11 allows.

Your saved searches and settings remain yours. They are deleted when your Account is deleted.

If you send us suggestions or corrections, we may use them to improve the Service without any obligation to you.

Every entry links to a Source, which is run by an agency and not by us. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content, availability, security or terms of use. Your use of a Source, including any registration it requires before you can bid, is between you and the agency.

We aim to read each Source once a day and to keep the Service available. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, and we offer no service level commitment.

We may add, change or remove Sources and features. If a change materially reduces what a Subscription gives you, you may cancel and we will refund the unused part of the current Subscription Period.

If we close the Service, we will give at least 30 days' notice by email where we reasonably can and refund the unused part of any Subscription Period already paid for.

You may stop using the Service and delete your Account at any time on the account page. A Subscription should be cancelled first so that it does not renew.

We may suspend or close an Account that breaches the Terms, that is used unlawfully or fraudulently, or whose payment has failed. Where the breach can be put right, we will tell you first and give you a reasonable time to do so.

If we close an Account for a reason other than your breach, we refund the unused part of the Subscription Period already paid for.

Sections 8 to 10, 12, 16 to 18, 20 and 21 continue to apply after the Terms end.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law permits, we give no warranty, express or implied, that the Service or any Notice or Summary is accurate, complete, current or fit for a particular purpose.

Nothing in the Terms excludes a warranty or a right that cannot be excluded by law.

To the fullest extent the law permits, we are not liable for loss of profit, revenue, business, contracts or opportunity, for a missed deadline or an unsuccessful bid, or for any indirect or consequential loss, arising from your use of the Service or your reliance on a Notice or Summary.

Our total liability to you for all claims connected with the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or 100 US dollars if you paid nothing.

Nothing in the Terms limits liability for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for anything else that the law does not allow to be limited. If you are a consumer, the Terms do not remove rights that consumer law gives you.

If a third party brings a claim against us because you breached section 11 or used the Service unlawfully, you agree to compensate us for the reasonable losses and costs that result. This section does not apply to consumers.

Some Notices concern goods, software or technology that are subject to export control, sanctions or security regulations. You are responsible for complying with the laws that apply to you when you respond to a Notice or share its content.

You may not use the Service if the law that applies to you or to us prohibits us from supplying it to you.

Please contact us first at hello@spacetenders.com. We will try to resolve any complaint or dispute informally within 30 days.

The Terms are governed by the laws of the country in which the operator is established, and its courts have jurisdiction over any dispute that is not resolved informally. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live and may bring proceedings there.

Entire agreement. The Terms, with the Privacy Policy and the Refund Policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service and replace any earlier understanding.

Severability. If a court finds part of the Terms unenforceable, the rest stays in force.

No waiver. If we do not enforce a right at once, we may still enforce it later.

Assignment. You may not transfer your rights under the Terms without our written consent. We may transfer ours to a successor that takes over the Service, and we will tell you if we do.

Events outside our control. We are not liable for a failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including the unavailability of a Source, a hosting provider or a network.

Notices to you. We send notices under the Terms to the email address on your Account. You send notices to us at hello@spacetenders.com.

We may update the Terms. The date at the top of this page shows the current version, with a note of what changed.

If a change materially affects your rights, we will email Account holders at least 14 days before it takes effect. If you do not accept the change, you may cancel before that date and we will refund the unused part of your Subscription Period. Continuing to use the Service after that date means you accept the updated Terms.

Space Tenders is operated by an individual, whose legal name is given on request and will be published here before paid plans open. Questions about the Terms go to hello@spacetenders.com. Other routes are on the contact page.
