Terms of Use

BIDDERJOB TERMS OF SERVICE Official User Agreement — A BidderJob Corporation Effective Date: 2026 | Document Version: 3.0 | legal@bidderjob.com

📋 Before You Proceed — Important Notice

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legally binding agreement between you and A BidderJob Corporation ("BidderJob," "we," or "us"). By clicking any consent button (such as "Continue," "Sign-in," or "Sign-up") or by using our Services in any way, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms — including the mandatory arbitration provision and class action waiver described in the Resolving Disputes section. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use our Services.

Understanding These Terms: A Plain-Language Overview

BidderJob's goal is simple: to disseminate important ideas and broaden people's perspectives on the world. These Terms define the rules of the road for everyone who uses our platform — from first-time readers to professional writers to newsletter editors. We have written this document to be as clear and readable as possible.

Think of this document as having three parts: what BidderJob agrees to provide for you, what you agree to do (and not do) in return, and what happens if things go wrong. Reading it carefully is worth your time — the rules exist to protect both you and the community.

These Terms cover:

§ 1

Your Account and Responsibilities

When you create an account on BidderJob, you take on a set of responsibilities. These are not arbitrary restrictions — they are the foundation of a trustworthy community where writers and readers can engage with confidence.

1.1 Responsibility for Your Account You are solely responsible for all activity conducted through your account, including any content you submit and how you use the Services. If you allow others to access your account, their actions are your responsibility under these Terms.

1.2 Account Security Keep your account credentials — particularly your password — secure and confidential. Notify us immediately at legal@bidderjob.com if you suspect unauthorised access to your account. We recommend using a strong, unique password and enabling any two-factor authentication options available.

1.3 Authorising Others to Act on Your Behalf If you accept these Terms on behalf of another person or entity (for example, as an employee managing a company account), you represent that you have full authority to bind that person or entity to these Terms. In that case, all references to "you" in this document extend to that person or entity.

1.4 Age Requirement You must be at least 13 years of age to use any of our Services. If you are under 13, you are not permitted to create an account or access the Services.

1.5 Handling Personal Information of Other Users If you access, collect, or use Personal Information about other BidderJob users through the Services, you commit to complying with all applicable data protection and privacy laws. You may not sell Personal Information about other users under any circumstances, as defined by applicable legislation.

1.6 Submitting Personal Information to BidderJob When you provide BidderJob with Personal Information relating to third parties (for example, in your capacity as a newsletter editor managing a subscriber list), you represent and warrant that:

💡 Plain-Language Summary — Your Account Keep your login credentials private. You are responsible for everything that happens under your account. You must be 13 or older. If you collect information about other BidderJob users, handle it lawfully and do not sell it.

§ 2

User Content on the Services

BidderJob is a publishing platform. The content its community creates is the core of what makes it valuable. These rules exist to protect that community — from each other, and from having their creative work misused.

2.1 BidderJob's Right to Monitor and Moderate BidderJob reserves the right to review, monitor, and remove content that violates our Rules or these Terms. This is not a commitment to review every piece of content published — it is a reserved right exercised at our discretion, particularly in response to flagged content or systematic review processes.

2.2 Intellectual Property Violations and Repeat Infringers BidderJob will remove or disable content that infringes another person's intellectual property rights. Users who repeatedly infringe intellectual property rights are subject to permanent account termination. If you believe content on BidderJob violates your copyright, please submit a formal notice according to our Copyright Policy.

🚩 How Flagging Works on BidderJob Any site user can flag a piece of content by clicking the 'flag' link, which presents a list of common policy concerns to select from. This flag is visible only to the moderation team — not to the author. Flags serve as a signal to moderators to review a piece of content. The moderator makes the final determination: if no violation is found, the content remains unchanged and the author is never notified. If a genuine violation is found, the content is unpublished and the author receives an email explaining the specific issue. The author may then edit the content and resubmit it for manual review before it goes live again.

📊 Note on Evolving Standards Content that complied with BidderJob's guidelines at the time of publication may not comply with current standards. Guidelines have evolved continuously since the platform's founding, and as of 2013, the entire site is subject to gradual moderation review — not only content that has been flagged. This means that older content may be reviewed and acted upon even without a user flag. The internet and the platforms that operate within it are not static, and BidderJob's standards will continue to develop.

§ 3

Rights and Ownership

Intellectual property is one of the most important topics in these Terms. Understanding who owns what — and what rights you grant to BidderJob — protects both you and the platform.

3.1 You Retain Your Content Rights You retain full ownership of any content you submit, post, or display on or through the Services. Publishing on BidderJob does not transfer copyright or any other ownership interest in your work to BidderJob.

3.2 The License You Grant to BidderJob By publishing content on BidderJob, you grant BidderJob a license to display and distribute that content across its platforms. Specifically, you grant BidderJob a:

3.3 Practical Examples of the License in Action What does this license mean in everyday terms? If you publish a story on BidderJob:

3.4 Your License to Use BidderJob In return, BidderJob grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, and non-assignable license to access and use the Services. This license cannot be transferred to anyone else and is conditional on your continued compliance with these Terms.

3.5 BidderJob's Intellectual Property The Services themselves — including BidderJob's technology, trademarks, logos, brand elements, and the content posted by other users — are protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable laws. These Terms do not give you any ownership interest in BidderJob's platform or intellectual property.

3.6 Feedback If you share ideas, suggestions, or recommendations about the Services with us, we may use that feedback freely and without any obligation to you. We are not required to keep your feedback confidential.

💡 Plain-Language Summary — Rights and Ownership You own your writing. Publishing on BidderJob gives us permission to display and distribute it across our platform — but only our platform. We cannot use your content outside of BidderJob's services. You can still publish the same content anywhere else you like.

§ 4

Prohibited Content and Conduct

This section describes what is not permitted on BidderJob. These restrictions protect the community, comply with applicable law, and maintain the integrity of the platform. Violations may result in content removal, account suspension, or permanent termination.

⚠️ Critical Rule: Read This Carefully Every user who creates an account on BidderJob legally agrees to abide by these rules. There are no exceptions based on ignorance of the rules — the act of signing up constitutes acceptance. There are many contexts (including maintaining an AdSense account) where violations result in permanent consequences without a right of appeal or a second opportunity.

4.1 Prohibited Content You may not create, submit, or link to content that is:

4.2 Prohibited Conduct You may not use the Services to:

4.3 Google AdSense Compliance — A Critical Note for Contributors 🔴 AdSense Policy — This Affects Your Monetisation BidderJob contributors who monetise through Google AdSense must be aware of the following: Google's AdSense Program Policy expressly prohibits websites displaying Google advertisements from mentioning or linking to programmes that pay users to click on ads, conduct searches, browse the web, or read emails. Violations of Google's AdSense policy are also violations of BidderJob's policies. Google does not typically offer warnings, apologies, or second chances for AdSense policy violations. Protect your AdSense account by reading Google's full policy directly.

4.4 The Importance of Reading the Rules Yourself A common and costly mistake made by new platform users is relying on information passed on secondhand by other users rather than reading the official terms directly. If you are uncertain whether a specific piece of content or action is permitted, do not assume it is fine because someone told you it was — read the relevant section of these Terms, the Platform Rules, and any applicable third-party policies (such as Google's AdSense policies) yourself.

Information shared informally by other users may be incorrect, outdated, or simply wrong. The consequences of rule violations — particularly in relation to third-party services like AdSense — can be permanent and unappealable.

§ 5

Termination

Either party — you or BidderJob — may end your use of the Services at any time.

5.1 Your Right to Stop You may stop using the Services and close your account at any time. No specific procedure is required beyond ceasing to access the Services.

5.2 BidderJob's Right to Suspend or Terminate BidderJob reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, and with or without cause. This includes the right to impose usage and storage limitations, remove or restrict the distribution of content, and discontinue any feature or the entire Services at BidderJob's sole discretion.

§ 6

Transfer and Processing of Data

BidderJob operates as a global platform. Providing the Services to you requires that your information be processed and stored on infrastructure located in the United States and potentially in other countries around the world.

By using the Services, you acknowledge and consent to the transfer, processing, and storage of your information in the United States and other countries where data protection laws may differ from — and may offer fewer protections than — those in your country of residence or citizenship.

🔒 Your Privacy For a full explanation of how BidderJob collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise handles your personal information, please refer to our Privacy Policy, available at bidderjob.com/privacy. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

This FAQ section provides reader-friendly answers to the most common questions about BidderJob's Terms of Service, platform rules, and content policies. Clicking through the navigation menu under your username on any BidderJob page will surface the full FAQ within the Help section.

Q: Do I have to read the full Terms before signing up? Technically, clicking any sign-up or consent button constitutes your legal agreement to the Terms — whether or not you read them. However, as a matter of practical self-protection, we strongly encourage you to read this document in full. Rules you are unaware of can still result in account suspension, content removal, or loss of monetisation privileges.

Q: Who can see when my content has been flagged? Nobody except the BidderJob moderation team. Authors cannot see flags placed on their content. Flags are internal signals for the moderation team and carry no inherent consequences — they simply trigger a review.

Q: What happens after my content is reviewed by moderators? If no violation is found, your content remains live and you are not notified. If a genuine issue is found, your content is unpublished and you receive an email detailing the specific problem. You then have the opportunity to edit and resubmit the content for manual approval before it goes live again.

Q: Can older content be reviewed even if nobody flagged it? Yes. Since 2013, BidderJob has been conducting gradual site-wide moderation reviews in response to updated guidelines from Google and other search engines. Content that was compliant under older rules may no longer meet current standards and may be reviewed and acted upon without a user flag.

Q: What is the relationship between BidderJob's rules and Google AdSense? If you have or intend to apply for a Google AdSense account, you must be aware that Google's AdSense policies apply in addition to BidderJob's policies. Content that violates Google's policies — including content that references programmes paying users to click ads — also violates BidderJob's policies. Google's AdSense enforcement is typically permanent and without appeal.

Q: If I have questions about the Terms, who should I contact? Please contact BidderJob's legal team directly at legal@bidderjob.com. For questions about specific content guidelines, the FAQ in the Help section of the platform is the best starting point.
