Terms of Service
Last updated: May 20, 2026The terms that govern your access to and use of the Build Intel platform, the DEXTER AI system, and related services.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using Build Intel ("the Platform"), operated by Bidding Enterprise LLC ("Company", "we", "us"), you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.
2. SMS Communications & Opt-In
Build Intel offers an optional SMS messaging program for transactional, project-related communications. This Section 2 governs your use of, and consent to, that program. A full standalone version of these SMS terms is also published at buildintel.com/sms-terms.html and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
2.1 Program scope.Build Intel may send SMS messages to mobile numbers provided by you (or, for accounts created by your general contractor or invitee, to numbers added with that party's representation of prior business relationship and consent). Messages are transactional only and include: Request for Quote (RFQ) notifications, bid deadline reminders, status updates on submitted quotes, account confirmations, security alerts, and service notifications. Build Intel does not use SMS for marketing.
2.2 Opt-in. You consent to receive Build Intel SMS by: (a) checking the SMS consent checkbox during account signup at bid.buildintel.com/signup; (b) checking the SMS consent checkbox on the public contact form at buildintel.com/contact.html; or (c) replying YES to a first-message opt-in confirmation when a phone number is added to the Platform by a third party. No SMS is sent before one of these opt-in events is recorded.
2.3 Frequency. Message frequency varies with your activity on the Platform. Recipients with no active projects may receive zero messages per week. Active recipients (one or more open RFQs or bids in progress) typically receive 1–5 messages per week. Frequency will not exceed 30 messages per month per recipient.
2.4 Message and data rates. Standard message and data rates from your wireless carrier may apply. Build Intel does not charge a fee for SMS messages.
2.5 Opt-out (STOP) and help (HELP). You may revoke SMS consent at any time by replying STOP to any Build Intel SMS. You will receive one final confirmation and no further messages will be sent. Replying HELP returns our support email and phone number. You may also email Khan@BiddingEnterprise.com or call +1 (718) 717-2729 at any time to be removed from the SMS program.
2.6 Carriers.Build Intel SMS is delivered through Twilio, our SMS service provider, across all major US wireless carriers (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, US Cellular, MetroPCS, and others). Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
2.7 Data handling. Phone numbers are stored encrypted and are not sold, rented, or shared with third parties for marketing purposes. SMS opt-in records (timestamp, IP, consent text) are retained for the purpose of demonstrating compliance with TCPA, 10DLC, and toll-free carrier requirements. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
2.8 Consent not required for use. Enrolling in the SMS program is optional. You may use the Build Intel Platform without consenting to SMS, and revoking SMS consent will not affect your ability to use the Platform.
