If you read the many pages of fine print you will realize that this organization should be called Bid Jackal. There is a reason that they have their name. bidding go. to paraphrase what they require when you pay your money (and they are now asking $250 to join up), " " contractors will agree that all materials which are submitted with the bid will become the property of biddingo and they will have WORLDWIDE COPYRIGHT IN PERPETUITY." " Read it yourselves. Any photographs, descriptions of what you do that makes your bid special or unique, or trade secrets, will become their property...forever. They can do whatever they want with it, and if you put it up on your website or use it in another bid, they can come after you for damages! That is bad enough, but in the next paragraph they state " " Biddingo reserves the right to copy, transmit and distribute their information to any third party of their chosing." " So lets say they give it, or sell it (because they are in the money making game) to somebody else. And lets say this third party decides to pretend that it is their work, not yours, and they use it to get a contract, do the work and then the building falls down and kills people and someone comes looking for the guy who did this other stuff in the photos....do we really want to have this kind of lawsuit? The guy suing doesn't care who he goes after. If your photos implicate you in this disaster, even without your knowledge, what will happen? TAke a look and see if you can find a corporate office for biddingo, or people responsible for it. You will come to an official govt of ontario website. So why would they want to help contractors bid on projects? what do they want to know about how you do things, where you do things, how big your previous projects were? Figure it out guys. the company is bidding G.O. just like G.O. transit...government of ontario sponsored. and when you try to argue that you didn't build some other thing that you never declared, you signed away your copyright to all information. Explain that to the man.
