Terms of Use — Radar

1. What Radar is

Radar is an information and research tool. It collects publicly available details about opportunities — airdrops, referrals, jobs, freelance work, giveaways, courses, grants and similar — and adds what we can observe about them: automated checks on the linked website, risk indicators drawn from those checks, and reports shared by other people who have used the platform.

Radar is not a marketplace, a broker, an employer, an agent or a party to any transaction between you and anyone we write about. We do not receive payment for listing an opportunity, and no one can pay us to be listed, to be described favourably, or to have information about them removed.

2. No guarantee of legitimacy

Radar does not guarantee that any opportunity we list is legitimate, safe, active, or suitable for you. Being listed on Radar is not an endorsement, an approval, or a finding that something is trustworthy.

A listing marked verified or partially verified means only this: someone at Radar looked at it, and the date on the page shows when. It does not mean the opportunity will pay out, that the website is honest, or that anything about it will still be true tomorrow. Opportunities expire, change hands, and turn predatory without warning.

Before you hand over money, personal documents, or account access to anyone we write about, do your own checking. If a deal requires a deposit to release a reward, treats that deposit as normal, or asks for more than you can afford to lose, treat it as a warning sign regardless of what appears on this site.

3. Information is provided as it is

We work to keep listings accurate and dates visible, but we provide everything on Radar "as is" and "as available". Details can be out of date, incomplete, or simply wrong — a platform may have changed its terms an hour ago. Automated results can be mistaken in both directions. We do not promise that the site will be available without interruption, or that any particular page is free of errors.

Treat every check on Radar as a starting point for your own research, not as a conclusion.

4. What the automated checks mean

The Opportunity Checker and the analysis attached to listings look at technical signals: whether the site answers over HTTPS, how the certificate looks, how old the domain is, where it redirects, and what the page tells us about itself. These are heuristics. They can miss a scam on a well-built site, and they can flag an honest one — a new domain, or a missing certificate on a harmless page.

A quiet result is not a clean bill of health, and a warning is not proof of fraud. Results may be served from a cache up to about ten minutes old.

5. Community reports are experiences, not findings

Reports come from members of the public and describe their own experiences. They are labelled as unverified because that is what they are: one person's account. We screen them for spam and abuse before publishing, but we do not investigate every claim, and publishing a report does not mean we agree with it or that it is true.

When ordinary accounts are enabled, signed-in users may flag a published report for human review. A flag records a review request; it does not change the report's status or hide it automatically. An admin must make any separate moderation decision.

If you are named or described in a report and you believe it is false or unfair, see Corrections & disputes.

6. Using Radar responsibly

Do not use the Checker to probe, scan, or overload systems you have no right to test.
Do not scrape the site at volume, or work around its rate limits.
Do not post reports that are knowingly false, defamatory, or designed to damage a platform for competitive reasons.
Do not use Radar to harass anyone, or to post another person's private information.

We may rate-limit, block, or remove content that breaks these rules. Rate limits exist to keep the service usable for everyone.

7. What you send us

Feedback, corrections, disputes and opportunity suggestions all reach the same queue and are reviewed by a person. Nothing you send is published automatically. A suggested opportunity only appears after review, and when it does it starts as needs verification — being listed is not a verdict on it. An account is required to send a contribution, but email verification is not required before submitting. If you add a community report, your optional account display name may appear publicly beside it; do not use a name you do not want shown.

When you send a correction, a dispute, or an account of your own experience, you confirm that it is your own account and true to the best of your knowledge. Radar publishes such accounts as one person's experience, not as a finding of fact. Do not use these forms to make accusations you cannot support, to damage a competitor, or to post anyone else's private information.

We may edit for length or clarity, annotate with a correction, or decline to publish anything we receive. We keep a note of why a decision was made.

8. Unlawful use

You may not use Radar to commit or assist any offence, including fraud, obtaining property or information by deception, harassment, or the publication of another person's private information without their consent. This includes using the Checker to probe systems you have no authority to test, and using the feedback forms to send threats or knowingly false accusations about real people or businesses.

Radar provides information and tools. It does not participate in, arrange, or profit from anything its users do with them. A Radar account links contributions to the account email, but it does not verify anyone’s legal identity. If we are told about unlawful use, we may remove content, restrict access, and keep records where the law requires it.

9. Links to other sites

Radar links out to websites we do not control. Their content, safety, and privacy practices are their responsibility, not ours. Once you leave Radar, these terms no longer apply.

10. Not professional advice

Nothing on Radar is financial, investment, legal, tax, employment or immigration advice. Decisions you make about money, work or personal information are yours. If you need advice about a specific situation, speak to someone qualified to give it.

11. Limits of our responsibility

To the extent the law allows, Radar is not responsible for losses that come from using this site or from relying on anything published on it — including money paid to an opportunity we listed, opportunities that turn out not to exist, or errors in an automated check. Nothing in these terms excludes responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded.

12. Changes

Radar is under active development and these terms will change as it grows. When they do, the date at the top of this page changes with them. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the current version.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
