Terms of service
Last updated: October 22, 2026
These terms are an agreement between you and ZohaDigital LLC, the company that owns and operates FedReady (“FedReady,” “we,” “us”). By creating an account or using FedReady, you agree to them. If you use FedReady for a business, you agree for that business too. Please also read our privacy policy, which explains how we handle your information.
Your account
- You must be at least 18 and able to agree to these terms.
- Give us accurate information, and keep your password to yourself. An account is for one person.
- You're responsible for what happens under your account. Tell us right away if you think someone else is using it.
What FedReady is, and isn't
FedReady helps small businesses find, track, and prepare bids for federal contracts. FedReady is independent. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to SAM.gov, the General Services Administration, the Small Business Administration, or any government agency.
Contract, award, subcontract, and registration information in FedReady comes from public government data on SAM.gov and USAspending.gov. That data can be incomplete, late, or wrong, and we may show it in summarized form. Always check the official notice on SAM.gov before you bid, especially deadlines and requirements. We don't guarantee that you'll find, bid on, or win any contract, and nothing in FedReady is legal, tax, accounting, or contracting advice.
AI features
Some features use artificial intelligence to summarize notices, judge fit, draft proposal text, and suggest profile answers. AI output can be wrong, incomplete, or out of date, even when it sounds confident. Review and edit anything FedReady writes before you rely on it or send it to anyone. You're responsible for everything you submit to the government. Making false statements in a proposal or registration can break the law, so never submit a claim you can't back up. To produce AI output, we send the relevant content (such as a notice, your business profile, or a website you give us) to our AI provider, as described in the privacy policy. AI writes in English, whatever language the notice or your website uses.
Plans, trial, and billing
In short: what you pay, when, and how to stop
- The Free plan costs nothing and has no time limit.
- New accounts get 7 days of Pro free, with no card. When the trial ends you move to Free unless you subscribe. Nothing is charged. An account still waiting on SAM.gov can extend the trial once, by 14 days.
- At list price, Pro is $49/month or $490/year and Pro + AI is $149/month or $1,490/year. You see the price before you pay, and paid plans renew automatically until you cancel.
- Monthly AI limits: Free has 1 AI fit check. Pro has 15 AI fit checks, 2 AI proposal drafts and 30 AI section drafts. Pro + AI has 50, 15 and 300, plus 5 AI profile drafts from your website. Every other limit is on the pricing page.
- Cancel anytime in Plan & billing. You keep your plan to the end of the period you paid for. Payments aren't refunded, except as described below.
- FedReady has a Free plan and two paid plans, Pro and Pro + AI, billed monthly or yearly. The list prices are $49/month or $490/year for Pro, and $149/month or $1,490/year for Pro + AI, before any founder pricing discount (below). The price you pay is shown before you subscribe and on your Plan & billing page. What each plan includes, and its monthly limits (such as AI fit checks and drafts), is on our pricing page and on your Plan & billing page. Monthly limits reset at midnight UTC on the 1st of each month (the evening before in US time zones).
- New accounts get 7 days of Pro free, with no card needed (accounts made before October 22, 2026 keep the 14-day trial they signed up with). If your business has no active SAM.gov registration yet, you can extend the trial once by 14 days, during the trial or within 7 days after it ends (then the 14 days start when you ask), from your Plan & billing page. When the trial ends, your account moves to the Free plan unless you subscribe. Pro includes AI features within its monthly limits, and Pro + AI raises those limits. Pro + AI has no free trial and is charged when you subscribe. The trial includes 1 AI profile draft from your website. It ends with the trial, or as soon as you choose Pro: Pro has no AI profile drafts from your website. Pro + AI includes 5 AI profile drafts from your website a month. The trial also includes 1 Pro + AI sample draft on top of Pro's 2 AI proposal drafts: once you've used those, your next “Write my first draft” uses it. It ends with the trial, or as soon as you choose Pro. Pro + AI includes 15 AI proposal drafts a month.
- Founder pricing. While we offer it, a new paid subscription gets 50% off the listed price. A subscription that starts with founder pricing keeps that discount at each renewal, and when you switch between paid plans or between monthly and yearly billing, for as long as the subscription stays active. The discount ends when the subscription ends: when a cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period, or when a payment can't be collected. If you cancel and then undo it before the paid period ends, the subscription and its discount carry on. A later subscription pays the price in effect at that time. Starting the no-card trial doesn't qualify on its own. We may end the offer for new subscriptions at any time.
- Payments are processed by Stripe. We don't see or store your full card number.
- Paid plans renew automatically at the end of each monthly or yearly period, and your card is charged the plan's price at that time, less any founder pricing discount on your subscription, until you cancel. For a yearly plan, we email you about 30 days before each renewal with the date and the amount, so you can cancel or switch first.
- If we change a price, we'll email you at least 30 days before the new price applies to your subscription. Prices are in US dollars, and we don't currently charge sales tax on top of them. If we ever have to, we'll show the tax before you pay and email subscribers before it's added to a renewal.
- When you switch plans, Stripe prorates the difference for the rest of the period. If a payment fails, Stripe retries it for a while. If it still can't be collected, your account moves to the Free plan.
Canceling and refunds
- You can cancel anytime from Plan & billing (Manage billing). Canceling stops the next renewal. You keep your paid plan until the end of the period you've paid for, then move to the Free plan.
- Payments are non-refundable. We don't give refunds or credits for partial periods, unused time, or unused limits, except when we've charged you in error, in the cases described under “Changes to FedReady” and “If FedReady shuts down” below, or when the law requires it. If you think a charge is wrong, email us within 60 days.
- Moving to the Free plan doesn't delete your work. Saved opportunities, documents, and projects stay, but paid tools and limits above the Free plan's (for example, more than 2 active bids) are no longer available.
Your content
You own what you put into FedReady: your business profile, notes, documents, proposals, and contacts. You give us permission to store, process, and display it only as needed to run FedReady for you, including sending it to the service providers that help us do that. If you publish a public company profile, you're also letting us show it publicly until you unpublish it. Only add content you have the right to use, including other people's work contact details.
What FedReady's AI features write for you, such as fit checks, proposal drafts, and profile text, is yours too. We don't claim ownership of it, and you can use it however you like. AI can give similar answers to similar requests, so other users may get similar text.
FedReady itself, including its software, design, and the content we create (like our guides), belongs to us. These terms let you use it while you have an account; they don't transfer ownership. If you send us feedback or ideas, we may use them without owing you anything.
Acceptable use
Please don't:
- Use FedReady for anything illegal, fraudulent, or misleading, including to misrepresent your business to the government.
- Share your account, or resell or bulk-copy FedReady's data or features.
- Scrape FedReady, overload it, get around its limits, or try to break its security.
- Upload malware, or content you don't have the right to share.
We may suspend or close accounts that break these rules.
Changes to FedReady
We're improving FedReady all the time, so features may change, and we may add, change, or retire them. If a change takes away something central to a paid plan you're on, we'll email you. If you cancel within 30 days of that email, we'll refund the unused part of the period you've paid for.
If FedReady shuts down
If we decide to shut FedReady down, we'll email account holders at least 60 days before it closes. Your account stays open until then, so you can download your documents and copy anything else you need, and we'll email you a copy of your information if you ask. Once we've announced it, we'll stop charging renewals, and we'll refund the unused part of any period you've paid for.
Disclaimers and limits on liability
FedReady is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent the law allows. We don't promise that it will always be available, error-free, or that its data or AI output is accurate or complete.
To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for lost profits, lost contracts, missed deadlines, or lost data. Our total liability for any claim about FedReady is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or $100 if you haven't paid us anything.
Ending your account
You can delete your account anytime in Account settings. Deleting it cancels any subscription right away and removes your data as described in the privacy policy. We may close an account that breaks these terms. The sections on your content, disclaimers and liability, governing law, and general terms still apply after an account ends.
Governing law
North Carolina law governs these terms, apart from its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in North Carolina, and you and we agree to those courts' jurisdiction.
Changes to these terms
If we change these terms in a way that matters, we'll update this page and email account holders at least 30 days before the change takes effect. A change that only adds to your rights, or that the law requires, can take effect sooner. If you keep using FedReady after a change takes effect, the new terms apply. If you don't agree with a change, you can cancel and delete your account before it takes effect.
General terms
These terms and the privacy policy are the whole agreement between you and us about FedReady. If a court finds part of these terms unenforceable, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce a part right away, we haven't given up the right to enforce it later. You can't transfer these terms to someone else without our written permission. We may transfer them to a company that takes over FedReady, and we'll email you if that happens.
