Terms of Service

BidRidge apps and licenses · Effective October 8, 2026

Template: fill in the business details in [brackets] and have an attorney review these terms before you take payments. Delete this note when done.

1. Who these terms are between

These Terms of Service ("terms") are an agreement between BidRidge [legal name, e.g. "BidRidge LLC, an Alaska limited liability company"], [business address] ("BidRidge", "we", "us"), and the business or person who downloads, installs, starts a trial of, buys or uses BidRidge ("you"). If you accept these terms for a company, you confirm you're allowed to bind that company.

By starting a trial, buying a license, or using the BidRidge apps, website or license service, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use BidRidge.

2. Who can use BidRidge

• BidRidge is a business tool for contractors. You must be at least 18 years old and use it for your business.
• You're responsible for everyone who uses BidRidge under your license, such as your employees and crew leads.

3. What BidRidge is

BidRidge is estimating software that helps contractors price jobs from their own wages, production rates, material prices, overhead and margins, and produce proposals, job packs and lead records. It runs as a web app, an Android app and desktop apps for Windows, Mac and Linux. Features may change as we improve BidRidge.

4. Free trial

• Each device gets one free trial of 7 days with full features. No payment details are needed, and the trial does not turn into a paid plan automatically.
• When the trial ends, your saved jobs stay on your device and you can still open them and save backup files. Creating new estimates, saving PDFs, copying and printing proposals need a license.
• Don't try to restart or extend a trial by resetting devices, clearing data, changing device IDs or similar steps.

5. Plans, payment and automatic renewal

• Monthly ($49.99 per month). Your subscription renews automatically every month and your card is charged $49.99 (plus any tax) at the start of each month until you cancel. You can cancel any time, online, from the "Manage subscription" link on the app's License screen or on your purchase thank-you page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the month you've already paid for; your license works until then. We don't refund partial months, except as described in "Refunds" below or where the law requires.
• Lifetime ($599 one time). A license to keep using the version you buy, plus any updates and email support we release in the 12 months after purchase. After those 12 months, your copy keeps working; later updates or support may be offered separately.
• Payment processing. Payments are handled by Stripe under its own terms. We never see or store your full card number.
• Taxes. Prices are in U.S. dollars and don't include sales or similar taxes, which are added where required.
• Failed payments. If a monthly payment fails, Stripe will retry it. If it still isn't paid, your license may stop working until the balance is paid.
• Price changes. We may change prices for new purchases at any time. For an existing monthly subscription, we'll email you at least 30 days before a new price applies, and you can cancel before then.

6. Refunds

• If BidRidge isn't right for you, email us within 14 days of your first license payment for a full refund of that payment. This applies once per customer.
• A refunded or charged-back license is turned off.
• If you dispute a charge with your bank without contacting us first, we may suspend the license while it's resolved.

7. Your license

• While your license is active and you follow these terms, we give you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to install and use BidRidge for your own business, on up to 5 devices at a time per license key.
• You can move your license between devices by removing it from one (License screen) and entering the key on another. We may limit how often devices are swapped to prevent abuse.
• License checks. BidRidge checks your license with our license server from time to time. It works offline between checks: up to about 14 days for a monthly license and 60 days for a lifetime license. After that, a device must go online once before it can make new estimates. Saved jobs always stay viewable.
• Keep your license key private. You're responsible for use of your key; tell us right away if it's been shared or leaked.

8. What you may not do

• Share, sell, rent or publish your license key, or let anyone outside your business use BidRidge under it.
• Copy, resell, sublicense or redistribute BidRidge, or offer it as part of your own product or service.
• Get around, disable or tamper with the trial, license checks, signed passes or device limits.
• Reverse engineer, decompile or modify BidRidge, except where the law allows it despite this limit.
• Interfere with or overload our license server or website, or try to access accounts or data that aren't yours.
• Use BidRidge for anything illegal, including deceptive pricing or contacting leads without the consent the law requires.
• Remove our name, copyright or disclaimers from the app or from documents it produces in a way that misleads people.

9. Estimating disclaimer: you're responsible for your bids

• A guideline, not a guarantee. Every price BidRidge shows is calculated from the numbers you enter or accept: measurements, conditions, wages, production rates, material prices, overhead, margins and tax. It doesn't know your jobs, your crews or your market.
• You fill in and check every input. Starting rates, defaults and sample data are examples only. Replace them with your own, and check every number and price before you bid, sign or send anything.
• Your bids are your decision. You alone decide what to charge and promise, and you're responsible for your bids, proposals, contracts and customer relationships. Results can be wrong because of missing or incorrect inputs, defaults that don't fit you, hidden job conditions, changing costs, or software errors.
• Not professional advice. BidRidge isn't legal, tax, accounting, insurance or engineering advice. Confirm sales tax, licensing, permits, lead-safe rules and building codes for your area yourself.
• The app asks you to accept this disclaimer before first use.

10. Your data

• You own your data: your jobs, customers, prices, rates, logos and leads. Jobs and customers are saved on your own devices, not on our servers.
• Back up your work. Uninstalling the app, clearing browser data, or losing or resetting a device can erase jobs that weren't backed up. Use "Save backup file" regularly. We can't recover jobs we never had.
• What our license server keeps: your license key, plan and status, the email and company name from checkout, Stripe payment references, and coded device IDs with names like "Android app" and the dates they checked in. We use it to run trials and licenses and prevent abuse.
• Optional job data sharing. If you turn on Settings → Share job data (off by default), BidRidge sends anonymous results of finished and lost jobs, without customer names, contact details, street addresses, notes or your company name. You allow us to combine them with other contractors' data to improve BidRidge's starting rates and to share combined results that can't identify you. You can turn sharing off at any time and ask us to delete what you've shared.
• More detail is in our Privacy Policy.

11. Third-party services

BidRidge works with services we don't control, such as Stripe (payments), Google Play (Android downloads), Cloudflare (license server), Netlify, Formspree (for the optional price page kit), Zapier, Make, Facebook, Google and lead sites. Your use of them is under their own terms, and any fees they charge are yours. We aren't responsible for their availability or actions.

12. Updates and availability

• We may release updates that add, change or remove features. Some updates may be needed to keep license checks working.
• We aim to keep the license server running at all times, but we don't guarantee it will be uninterrupted. Short outages don't affect devices with a valid pass.
• If we ever stop offering BidRidge, we'll give at least 60 days' notice by email. Active lifetime license holders will get a final version that doesn't need license checks.

13. Feedback

If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them without owing you anything.

14. Ownership

BidRidge, including its software, calculations, design, name and logo, is owned by us and protected by law. These terms give you a license to use it, not ownership. Proposals and documents you create with BidRidge are yours.

15. Suspension and ending

• You can stop using BidRidge at any time, and cancel a monthly plan as described in section 5.
• We may suspend or end your license if you seriously break these terms (for example, sharing or reselling your key or tampering with license checks), if a payment is refunded, charged back or left unpaid, or if the law requires it. Where reasonable, we'll tell you first and give you a chance to fix the problem.
• If your license ends, you can still open your saved jobs and export backup files. Sections 8 through 11, 13, 14 and 16 through 19 continue after these terms end.

16. No warranty

BidRidge is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement, and any warranty that BidRidge will be error-free, uninterrupted or that its prices will be correct for your jobs.

17. Limits on liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, BidRidge and its owners, employees and contractors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost jobs, underbid or overbid work, cost overruns, lost data, or disputes with your customers, even if we were told they were possible. Our total liability for all claims relating to BidRidge is limited to the amount you paid us for BidRidge in the 12 months before the claim.

Some places don't allow certain warranty disclaimers or liability limits, so some of the above may not apply to you.

18. Indemnity

You agree to defend and hold us harmless from claims by third parties (including your customers) arising from your bids, proposals, contracts or work, your use of BidRidge, or your breaking these terms or the law, and to cover reasonable costs, including attorney fees, that result.

19. Disputes and governing law

• Please contact us first. Most problems can be solved by email, and we'll try in good faith for 30 days before either side goes to court.
• These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Alaska, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any lawsuit must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Anchorage, Alaska, and both sides agree to those courts' jurisdiction. Either side may use small claims court for claims that qualify.

20. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We'll post the new version here with a new effective date, and for significant changes we'll tell you by email or in the app at least 14 days before they apply. If you keep using BidRidge after that, the new terms apply. If you don't agree, stop using BidRidge and cancel any monthly plan.

21. General

• These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us about BidRidge.
• If any part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce a term right away, we haven't waived it.
• You can't transfer these terms or your license without our written consent. We may transfer them as part of a sale or reorganization of our business.
• Neither side is responsible for delays caused by events outside its reasonable control.
• We may send notices to the email you used at checkout. You can send notices to the email below.
