Plain-English summary: Browse the site, sign up for the digest, subscribe to Pro if it's useful, and don't try to abuse the assistant or scrape the database. The full version is below.
1. Acceptance
By visiting Set-Aside Pro (the "Site") or creating an account, you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you don't agree, don't use the Site. We may update these Terms from time to time; if we make a material change we'll surface a notice on the Site, and your continued use means you accept the updated Terms.
2. What the Site is
Set-Aside Pro is an independent publication that aggregates federal set-aside opportunities from SAM.gov and rewrites them in plain English. We are not affiliated with the U.S. Government, SAM.gov, or any federal agency. The information we publish is for orientation only; the SAM.gov listing is the authoritative source for every opportunity.
3. Your account
You sign in either with a one-time 6-digit code we email to your address, or through a supported third-party sign-in provider. Either way, you're responsible for keeping access to that email account secure, since whoever controls the inbox can sign in. You may not create an account on behalf of someone else without authorization. We may suspend or delete accounts that abuse the Site, share access, or violate these Terms.
4. Paid subscriptions
Pro begins with a 7-day free trial. We collect your payment details at checkout but don't charge you until the trial ends; cancel before then and you pay nothing. After the trial, Pro is billed at $299 per year, renewing automatically until you cancel. Payments are handled by our third-party payment processor, which acts as the merchant of record and collects any applicable taxes. You can cancel any time from the billing portal linked in your account menu; access continues through the end of the period you've already paid for, and you won't be charged again. Prices may change with at least 30 days' notice on the Site, and a price change never affects a term you've already paid for.
All payments are non-refundable. Cancelling stops future renewals but does not refund the current term, except where a refund is required by applicable law.
5. Acceptable use
- Don't scrape the database faster than a normal browser would.
- Don't try to circumvent rate limits on the assistant.
- Don't redistribute the plain-English summaries as your own product.
- Don't use the Site for anything illegal under U.S. federal law.
6. Assistant outputs
The chat assistant is a large language model speaking in our system voice. Its answers can be wrong. Treat them as an orientation tool and verify anything that matters (deadlines, eligibility, dollar amounts) against the SAM.gov listing. We are not liable for decisions you make based on assistant output.
7. Disclaimer of warranties
The Site is provided "as is." We do our best to keep it accurate and fresh, but we don't warrant completeness, timeliness, or fitness for any particular purpose. Federal contracting is regulated; consult a contracting officer or attorney for binding advice.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, Set-Aside Pro and its operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Site. Our total liability for direct damages is capped at the amount you've paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.
9. Termination
You can delete your account any time from your Settings page — open the "Danger zone" section, request a confirmation code, and enter it to permanently remove your account and data. We can suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
10. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in California, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
