Acceptable Use Policy

Plain-English: Bridger is a federal contracting intelligence and marketplace platform. Use it for that. Don’t weaponise it.

The Service is intended for legitimate federal procurement and allied-tech contracting workflows. This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) describes activities that are not permitted on the platform and supplements the Terms of Service.

Platform abuse

• Scraping, crawling, or systematically extracting data from the Service beyond rate limits documented in our public APIs
• Reverse-engineering, decompiling, or attempting to derive source code from compiled assets
• Circumventing authentication, rate limits, paywalls, tier enforcement, or any other technical control
• Automating account creation or sharing credentials across multiple natural persons
• Conducting penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, or security research without prior written authorisation — responsible disclosure via /.well-known/security.txt is always welcome

Content & conduct

• Uploading content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, or infringes third-party intellectual property rights
• Impersonating another individual, organisation, or government agency
• Posting fraudulent past-performance, false certifications, or misleading capability claims
• Using the Service to facilitate procurement that violates US export control law (EAR / ITAR / OFAC sanctions / BIS Entity List restrictions)
• Attempting to access another contractor’s pipeline, proposals, messages, or any other private content

Marketplace abuse

• Soliciting marketplace counterparties (providers, lobbyists, primes) to transact off-platform to evade marketplace fees
• Posting fake reviews, fabricated insights, or astroturfed endorsements
• Using the lobbyist marketplace to coordinate communications in violation of the Lobbying Disclosure Act (2 USC §1601 et seq.) or analogous federal/state lobbying registration requirements

The proposal-agent and other LLM-backed features are made available subject to additional rules in our AI Use Policy at /legal/ai-use. You may not submit content to the proposal-agent that you do not have authority to disclose to a third-party LLM provider (Anthropic).

Violations may result in (a) immediate suspension of access, (b) termination of the account with notice consistent with the Terms of Service, and (c) referral to law enforcement when warranted. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify account holders of suspected violations and provide an opportunity to cure where the violation is curable.

Suspected AUP violations may be reported to the operator at hgad@levenhall.com. Security vulnerabilities should be reported via /.well-known/security.txt.
