Effective Date: July 2, 2026
Last Updated: July 2, 2026
1. Purpose of This Disclaimer
The present Disclaimer clarifies the role of Astro Smart Tech LLC, trading as FindBids ("FindBids," "we," "us," or "our"), with respect to copyright-protected material accessible through the FindBids platform (the "Services"), and it delimits the scope of our responsibility for content that we neither author nor control. The Disclaimer operates alongside our Copyright and DMCA Policy, which governs the procedure for submitting and responding to claims of infringement, and alongside our Terms and Conditions.
2. Role of FindBids as an Intermediary Service Provider
FindBids functions, in relevant part, as an intermediary that stores material at the direction of users and that transmits and provides access to third-party materials, including solicitation documents retrieved from public governmental portals. In that capacity, we avail ourselves of the limitations upon liability afforded to qualifying service providers under 17 U.S.C. § 512, and our conduct is designed to remain consistent with the conditions of those safe harbors. Nothing herein waives or diminishes any protection, immunity, or defense otherwise available to us under applicable law.
3. Absence of Endorsement or Control
Materials uploaded by users, generated through automated features, or retrieved from external portals do not represent the views of FindBids, and their availability through the Services implies neither endorsement, verification, nor adoption by us. We exercise no editorial control over the substantive content of third-party procurement documents, and we make no warranty regarding their accuracy, legality, or copyright status, responsibility for which is addressed in our Terms and Conditions.
4. Public Procurement Documents as Third-Party Materials
Solicitation notices, attachments, and related files obtained from public bidding portals are the work of the issuing authorities or of third parties, and they are furnished through the Services solely to assist users in their procurement activities. Users bear sole responsibility for determining the rights applicable to any such document and for observing those rights in any subsequent reproduction, distribution, or use, a point developed more fully in our Copyright and DMCA Policy.
5. No General Obligation to Monitor
Consistent with the framework established under 17 U.S.C. § 512, we assume no general obligation to monitor the material stored or transmitted through the Services, nor to affirmatively seek facts indicating infringing activity. Our responsiveness to copyright concerns operates through the notice-and-takedown mechanism, and it is activated upon receipt of a compliant notification submitted in accordance with our Copyright and DMCA Policy.
6. Limitation of Liability for Third-Party and User Content
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, FindBids disclaims liability for any loss, damage, or claim arising from third-party or user-supplied material accessible through the Services, including any allegation that such material infringes a copyright or other proprietary right. The limitations, exclusions, and indemnities set out in our Terms and Conditions apply to the subject matter of this Disclaimer and are incorporated by reference.
7. Where to Direct Infringement Notices
A copyright owner who believes that material accessible through the Services infringes its rights should submit a notification to our Designated Copyright Agent in the manner, and containing the elements, described in our Copyright and DMCA Policy. Notices may be sent to info@findbids.us, and the Designated Copyright Agent is registered with the United States Copyright Office through its DMCA Designated Agent Directory, available at https://www.copyright.gov/dmca-directory/.
8. No Legal Advice
The content of this Disclaimer is provided for informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice. A party uncertain as to its rights or obligations concerning copyright-protected material should consult qualified counsel.
9. Effect and Interpretation
The provisions of this Disclaimer are to be construed in harmony with our Copyright and DMCA Policy and our Terms and Conditions. Should an irreconcilable conflict arise regarding the procedure for handling infringement claims, the Copyright and DMCA Policy governs that procedure, whereas the allocation of liability is governed by the Terms and Conditions.
