Legal and trust
Terms of Service
These Terms govern use of MaroNest, an independent commercial platform for discovering U.S. government contract opportunities. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
1. Eligibility and accounts
You must be legally able to enter these Terms and use the service for a lawful business or professional purpose. You are responsible for accurate account and organization information, safeguarding credentials, activity under your account, and promptly reporting suspected unauthorized access. Do not share individual credentials.
2. Permitted use and prohibited abuse
You may use MaroNest to research opportunities and manage your organization’s procurement workflow. You may not interfere with the service; bypass access controls or rate limits; scrape or overload it in a harmful manner; probe for vulnerabilities without authorization; upload malicious code; impersonate others; violate law or third-party rights; misuse personal data; or use the service to facilitate fraud. Organization members must have authority to submit company information and act for that organization.
3. Procurement information and official sources
You remain responsible for checking eligibility, set-asides, deadlines, amendments, submission instructions, representations, certifications, and all other requirements on the official source. MaroNest does not submit bids or applications for you and does not provide legal, procurement, financial, or compliance advice.
4. Matching, saved work, alerts, sponsorships, and provider requests
Match Scores and recommendations are rules-based relevance aids. They do not determine legal eligibility, suitability, compliance, award probability, or whether you should bid. Set-aside classifications may require manual or professional review.
Saved searches, saved opportunities, statuses, notes, and alerts are convenience tools. Alerts may be late, duplicated, or fail because of source, email, network, or service interruptions; never rely on them as the only way to track a deadline.
Sponsored placements are labeled advertising or service-provider content and do not influence organic search order, Match Scores, eligibility, or recommendations. A provider request is optional and is sent only after explicit consent to the provider named on the form. The provider is an independent third party and is responsible for its own response and services.
5. Free Beta and future paid features
Core MaroNest access is free during the current Beta. No subscription or payment method is currently required, and using the Free Beta does not create an automatic future charge. MaroNest may later offer paid features or services; applicable pricing and purchase terms would be shown before you choose to buy them.
6. Intellectual property and user-provided content
MaroNest’s software, branding, interface, and original materials are owned by or licensed to the platform operator. Government source data and third-party materials retain their respective status and rights. You retain rights in information you provide. You grant MaroNest the limited permission needed to host, process, display to authorized organization members, and use that information to operate the requested features. You represent that you may lawfully provide it.
7. Service changes, suspension, and termination
The Beta may change, be interrupted, contain errors, or discontinue features. We may restrict or suspend access to protect users or systems, investigate abuse, comply with law, or address violations of these Terms. You may stop using the service and may request account deletion through Account settings; deletion is manually reviewed as described in the Privacy Policy.
8. Disclaimers and reasonable limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, MaroNest is provided “as is” and “as available,” without promises that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, complete, current, secure, or fit for a particular procurement decision. You assume responsibility for decisions made using the service.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the operator will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or lost-profit damages arising from use of or inability to use the service, missed notices or deadlines, source-data errors, or third-party services. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Because formal operator identity, governing law, venue, and any monetary liability cap require owner and counsel decisions, these Terms do not invent them.
9. Changes and contact
We may update these Terms as the service evolves. The date and version above identify the current Terms. Material changes may be presented for renewed acceptance before affected account activity; no renewed acceptance is being forced by this release.
Service and privacy-related questions may be sent to support@maronest.com. The operator’s formal legal name and address remain owner and legal-review items.
