Terms of service

Version 1 · effective on publication

The service

BidStroke is a flat-fee writing service for public procurement. For a stated price, it produces one of four deliverables from a live posting and the facts the buyer supplies: a compliance matrix with annotated outline ($149), a full narrative proposal draft ($649), a grant narrative draft ($499), or a capability statement ($99). Deliverables arrive by email as .docx. There are no accounts, subscriptions, or recurring charges.

What the service is not

BidStroke is a writing service and nothing else. It does not submit bids or applications, does not represent the buyer before any agency or funder, has no relationship with any agency or funder, and does not advise on eligibility, certifications, set-aside status, or any legal threshold. Nothing BidStroke delivers is legal, financial, or professional advice.

BidStroke makes no promise about outcomes. There are no win guarantees, expressed or implied. Award decisions belong entirely to the issuing agency or funder.

Fees

Every fee is flat and stated before payment. There is no contingency pricing, no percentage of award, and no charge beyond the stated fee. Payment is processed by Stripe at checkout; BidStroke never sees or stores card details.

Your facts, your responsibility

After purchase, the buyer supplies facts through the intake form: past performance, certifications, key personnel, pricing posture, and the posting reference. Every factual claim in a deliverable traces to that intake or to the posting itself. BidStroke does not invent, embellish, or extrapolate facts; where a needed fact is missing, the draft carries a visible flag instead.

The buyer owns the accuracy of the facts they supply, the review of the deliverable, and the submission of the final document. What is filed with an agency or funder is the buyer's document and the buyer's act.

Order acceptance and turnaround

Every order is sized against the posting's closing date after intake. BidStroke accepts the order only if the remaining window can carry careful drafting plus the revision round; otherwise the order is declined and refunded in full. BidStroke also declines postings that require certifications or representations only the buyer can originate, classified or restricted work, and any response requiring facts the buyer cannot supply through intake.

Revision round

Each order includes one revision round. The buyer sends consolidated notes in a single pass within 14 days of delivery; BidStroke returns one corrected draft. The round covers corrections and adjustments within the original posting's scope. A changed scope, a different posting, an amended solicitation that rewrites the requirements, or a further round is a new order.

Refunds

An order BidStroke declines is refunded in full. An order the buyer cancels before drafting has begun is refunded in full. If BidStroke fails to deliver an accepted order before the posting's stated closing, the fee is refunded in full. After a deliverable has been sent, the fee is earned; the revision round remains available in place of a refund.

Delivery and ownership

Deliverables are sent by email as .docx to the address given at intake. On payment and delivery, the deliverable belongs to the buyer, to use, edit, and submit without restriction or attribution. BidStroke may retain its own working copy as a service record and reuses no buyer's facts in any other buyer's document.

Samples

Sample documents published on this site, including every Gazette entry marked as a sample, are synthetic demonstrations built on fictitious postings. They are labeled as such and represent no client, agency, or real solicitation.

Confidentiality

Intake facts are used to produce the buyer's deliverable and for nothing else. They are not published, sold, or shared beyond the processors that operate the service. Details are in the privacy notice.

Liability limit

To the maximum extent the law allows, BidStroke's total liability for claims arising from an order is limited to the fee paid for that order. BidStroke is not liable for the outcome of any bid or application, for an agency's or funder's decisions, or for the consequences of facts the buyer supplied. This limit does not apply where the law does not permit it.

Changes

These terms may be revised; the version and effective date at the top change when they are. An order is governed by the terms in force when it was placed.
