Terms of use
These terms govern your use of the TempoBid website and brief. By subscribing or using the site, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
The service
TempoBid is a weekly intelligence brief on federal HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contract awards and recompetes (NAICS 238220), plus optional custom alerts. It is an independent publication. It is not a bid-matching agency, law firm, or government service.
Plans and billing
Current published prices are:
- Free weekly brief: $0.
- Paid brief: $19 per month or $190 per year.
- Founding member (first 50 subscribers): $12 per month or $120 per year, locked for as long as that subscription remains active.
- Custom alerts: $89 per month, for a tailored weekly brief covering the agencies, states, and incumbents you name.
The free weekly brief is delivered through Substack. Free email signups are handled by Substack at tempobid.substack.com; see also Substack’s privacy policy. Paid plans are checked out through Stripe Payment Links. Prices for new subscribers may change; we will not change a founding member’s locked rate while that subscription stays active. Annual plans are billed in one payment for the year.
Refunds
You may request a full refund within 14 days of any payment, no questions asked. Email [email protected] to request one. After 14 days, payments are not refunded. You may cancel a subscription at any time to stop future charges; cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current billing period unless a refund applies.
Your account
Provide accurate contact information and keep it current. You are responsible for activity under your subscription and for keeping access to the email address you use to subscribe. Do not share paid editions in a way that substitutes for additional subscriptions.
Acceptable use
Do not misuse the site or brief, attempt to disrupt the service, scrape the site in a way that burdens our systems, or republish paid content as your own product. The TempoBid name, wordmark, and brief are our intellectual property. You may use excerpts in the ordinary course of running your firm, with attribution, but you may not resell the brief or its data product.
Disclaimer
TempoBid is not affiliated with the U.S. government, SAM.gov, USAspending.gov, or any government agency. Content is based on public sources and on our analysis of those sources. Records can be incomplete, delayed, amended, or incorrect. Contract end dates can be extended. TempoBid is not legal, financial, tax, or bid-preparation advice, and it is not a promise of contract awards, teaming opportunities, or business results. Verify every fact that matters in the official record before bidding or making a business decision. The service is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, TempoBid and Sean Johnson will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or lost-profit damages, or for decisions you make based on the brief. Our total liability arising out of the service will not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Some states do not allow certain limitations; in those states, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted.
Changes and termination
We may update these terms by posting a new version on this page. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. We may suspend or end the service or a subscription if we reasonably believe these terms have been violated, or if we discontinue the product, in which case we will refund a prepaid unused portion where that is the fair result.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Courts located in Illinois will have exclusive jurisdiction, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property or confidential information.
