Last Updated: June 27, 2026

These disclosures supplement the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. They explain important limits on what the Service does in the government- and commercial-contracting context.

Provider identification. The Service is operated by Dakdan LLC (a Colorado limited liability company), CAGE Code 9W3P6, UEI H5BQG2J7JRB4, operating the dakdan.ai platform. Contact: legal@dakdan.com.

1. No Government Affiliation or Endorsement

Dakdan LLC and the dakdan.ai Service are private and independent. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or acting on behalf of the U.S. Government or any federal, state, local, or tribal agency, including but not limited to SAM.gov, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), the Small Business Administration (SBA), APEX Accelerators (formerly PTACs), or any contracting agency. References to such entities are for identification and interoperability only. Official opportunity information should always be confirmed at the authoritative government source (e.g., SAM.gov).

2. Not Legal, Accounting, or Professional Advice

The Service and its outputs (including AI-generated proposal drafts, scores, and summaries) are provided for informational and productivity purposes and do not constitute legal, accounting, tax, or professional advice. We are not your attorney, accountant, broker, or consultant. Consult qualified professionals for advice specific to your situation.

3. No Guarantee of Award or Results

We do not guarantee that using the Service will result in any contract award, teaming arrangement, registration approval, certification, or other business outcome. Procurement decisions are made solely by the relevant buyer/agency based on factors outside our control.

4. Your Responsibility for Compliance and Accuracy

You are solely responsible for ensuring that everything you submit to any government or counterparty is accurate, current, complete, and compliant. This includes, without limitation:

• Eligibility & representations: the accuracy of size status, socioeconomic/set-aside certifications (e.g., SDVOSB, VOSB, 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB), SAM registration, UEI/CAGE, and the representations and certifications you make (e.g., FAR 52.204-8/SAM reps & certs).
• Solicitation requirements: reading and complying with each solicitation's instructions, evaluation criteria, deadlines, page limits, and formatting.
• Regulatory frameworks: compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), agency supplements (e.g., DFARS), and applicable state/local procurement rules.
• False statements: you acknowledge that knowingly submitting false information to the government may carry civil and criminal penalties (e.g., under the False Claims Act and 18 U.S.C. § 1001). The Service must not be used to create or submit false certifications.

5. Artificial Intelligence Disclosure

• AI features generate drafts that may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, biased, or non-compliant, and may not reflect the specific requirements of a solicitation.
• Mandatory human review: you must review, verify, and edit all AI output before use or submission. Do not submit AI output to any government or counterparty without independent verification.
• AI output is not guaranteed to be original or free of third-party rights; you are responsible for confirming originality and appropriateness.
• You are responsible for complying with any agency rules regarding the use of AI in proposals or communications.

6. Third-Party Data Accuracy & Availability

Opportunity and entity data are retrieved from third-party sources and may be incomplete, delayed, mis-categorized, or inaccurate. The Service is not the system of record. Always verify deadlines, amounts, set-asides, points of contact, and requirements against the authoritative source before acting.

7. Data Security & Sensitive Information

• Do not upload classified information, controlled unclassified information (CUI), ITAR/EAR-controlled technical data, or other export-controlled or specially regulated material unless you have confirmed that doing so complies with all applicable controls and that the Service and its subprocessors are authorized to process it.
• The Service is a commercial platform and, unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement, is not represented as FedRAMP-authorized, CMMC-certified, or compliant with NIST SP 800-171/800-53. Do not rely on it for workloads requiring such authorizations without written confirmation.
• You are responsible for classifying your data and using the Service consistent with your own regulatory obligations.

8. Communications & Anti-Spam

If you use the Service to send communications (e.g., emailing proposals or contacts), you are responsible for compliance with applicable laws (e.g., CAN-SPAM, TCPA, CASL) and with the policies of your email provider.

9. Export Controls & Sanctions

You represent that you are not located in, and will not use the Service on behalf of anyone in, a country or by a person subject to U.S. embargoes or sanctions, and that you will comply with applicable export-control and sanctions laws.

10. Reseller/Agency Responsibility

Authorized resellers and agencies are responsible for their sub-tenants' compliance with these disclosures and for accurately representing the Service to their clients. Resellers must not represent the Service as government-affiliated or guarantee outcomes.

11. Changes

We may update these disclosures; material changes will be communicated as described in the Terms. Continued use constitutes acceptance.

Intellectual Property, Copyright & Trademark Notice

Last Updated: June 27, 2026

Why this replaces the old "trademark section"

The standalone trademark block currently on the homepage should be removed. A long, prominent trademark recital on a marketing page is unusual and can look unprofessional. The correct, standard approach is:

1. A concise IP clause inside the Terms of Service (already included — Section 9), and
2. A short copyright + trademark notice in the website footer (below), and
3. This detailed IP notice linked from the footer/legal page for anyone who needs specifics.

That gives you complete legal coverage without cluttering the homepage.
