Terms of Service

1. Acceptance and eligibility

RFP Detector is for business use. To create an account you must be at least 18 and have the authority to act for the organization you represent.

2. Accounts and security

• Give accurate information and keep it up to date.
• Every account verifies an email address and a mobile number. Keep your password and codes secret.
• You are responsible for activity on your account. Tell us promptly about any unauthorized use.

3. Organizations and roles

Accounts belong to one or more organizations with owners, admins and members. Organization data (pipelines, notes, alerts, listings, posted RFPs and messages) belongs to the organization. An owner can transfer ownership to another member.

4. The service

RFP Detector provides public RFP pages with scores and reports, a client dashboard for tracking RFPs, a free vendor directory listing and a buyer portal for posting RFPs. Features may change over time. There are no fees today.

5. Data and accuracy

RFP information comes from publicly available sources, including public procurement records and notices published by issuing organizations, and from organizations that post RFPs on RFP Detector. We summarise and score it, and signed-in users can open the official solicitation; we don't host third-party documents. Information can be incomplete or outdated, so always confirm with the issuing organization and the official solicitation. Deadlines shown in our product are not authoritative.

6. Scores and reports

The RFP Detector Score and reports are informational estimates based on publicly available information and our methodology. They are not advice, endorsements or predictions of outcomes.

7. Not affiliated

RFP Detector is an independent service and is not affiliated with any government agency. Scores are informational.

8. Your content

You keep ownership of what you publish or send through RFP Detector (vendor listings, buyer RFPs, attachments and messages). You grant us a license to host, display, format and distribute it as needed to run the service, including publicly where you choose to publish it. You confirm you have the rights to it and that it is accurate and lawful.

9. Acceptable use

• No false or misleading RFPs or listings, and no impersonation.
• No spam or unsolicited bulk connection requests.
• No scraping or bulk downloading beyond normal use and robots.txt.
• No reverse engineering, probing or security testing without written permission, and no malware.
• No attempts to get around rate limits or verification.
• No use that violates procurement rules or the law.

10. Dealings between buyers and vendors

We are not a party to procurements or contracts between users, and we don't guarantee responses, awards or the quality of any vendor's work. Vendor details are self-reported unless marked otherwise.

11. Corrections and takedowns

Issuers and rights holders can ask us to correct or remove content through hello@starlingglobal.io. Copyright notices should identify the work, the page where it appears and your contact details.

12. SMS and email

Our SMS Terms are part of these terms. We send service emails about your account and the alerts you set up; you can change alert and notification emails in your settings or unsubscribe from them.

13. Suspension and termination

You can stop using the service and ask us to delete your account at any time. We may suspend or remove accounts, listings or postings that break these terms or put other users or the service at risk.

14. Disclaimers, limitation of liability and indemnity

The service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind to the extent the law allows. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, or for decisions made using information on RFP Detector. You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your content or your breach of these terms.

15. Governing law and venue

These terms are governed by the laws of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

16. Changes to these terms; contact

We post updates here with a new effective date and email account holders about material changes.
