Service Description
TenderScout is a software service that helps users search for South African tenders, save tender opportunities, access tender source information, process available tender documents, generate AI-assisted review outputs, and support bid / no-bid decision-making. The Service is provided as is. We strive for accuracy but cannot guarantee perfection. Users remain responsible for reviewing outputs and applying their own judgement.
User Content
You retain full ownership of uploaded tender documents and data. We process that content only as necessary to deliver the Service and do not retain data beyond what is needed to operate the platform unless explicitly required.
Plans, Credits, and Usage
The Service may offer free access, paid subscription plans, monthly credit pools, user allowances, top-ups, modular AI outputs, and bundled reviews. Credits may be consumed when generating new outputs or bundled reviews. Re-viewing previously generated results may be available without additional credit consumption, subject to product rules shown in-app or on the pricing page.
Large tender packs, plan limits, user limits, feature availability, support levels, and billing rules may vary by plan and may be updated with notice.
