1. What Takeoff Radar is
Takeoff Radar aggregates public SEC Form D filings and adds our own analysis: sector labels, verified company website and description, and a filterable feed. The underlying filings are public record; our enrichment, curation, and compiled datasets are our proprietary work.
Takeoff Radar is an independent product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any government agency. "SEC," "EDGAR," and "Form D" refer to the public filing system we source from.
2. Your account & the plans
- Free: the live feed and weekly digest, for your own use.
- Pro / Max: paid subscriptions adding saved-filter alerts, CSV export, and (Max) keyed API access.
- All plans grant a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, internal-use-only license to use the data and tools for your own recruiting, sales, or research. Nothing more is granted.
- You're responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your credentials and API keys secure.
- Paid alerts can deliver to email, Slack, or an outbound webhook you configure. The delivery channel doesn't change the license: the data stays yours to use internally, wherever we deliver it, and you're responsible for the endpoints you connect.
3. Acceptable use: what you may NOT do
The license in §2 is internal-use only. You may not, without a separate written Data License from us:
- Resell, redistribute, republish, syndicate, or sublicense the data, feed, exports, or any substantial part of them, whether raw or modified;
- Embed or incorporate the data into any product, service, dataset, or platform you offer to others;
- Scrape, crawl, bulk-download, or systematically extract the site, feed, or API beyond your plan's normal use, or circumvent rate limits, gating, or access controls;
- Share, resell, or transfer your account, API keys, or access with anyone else;
- Use the data to build or train a competing product, or to reconstruct our enriched corpus or its history.
Even Max's API access is own-use. Redistribution, resale, embedding, or sublicensing of any kind requires a separate Data License; contact us at nick@takeoffradar.com.
Not a consumer report; no FCRA-covered use
Takeoff Radar is not a consumer reporting agency, and the feed, alerts, digests, exports, and API are not "consumer reports" under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) or any equivalent state law. The people named in a filing are listed as the offering company's own officers, directors, or promoters (from Item 3 of the public filing) so you know who is behind a newly funded company, not as the subjects of a background screening.
If you are named in a filing and are concerned about how you appear on Takeoff Radar, contact support@takeoffradar.com. The names are part of a public federal record and we do not remove accurately extracted names on request, but we will review your report and fix anything we extracted wrong. Takeoff Radar is below the applicability thresholds of the state consumer privacy laws and is not governed by them; the Privacy Policy (§3 to §5) has the details.
You agree that you will not use the data, in whole or in part:
- as a factor in establishing any individual's eligibility for employment, credit, insurance, housing, or any other purpose covered by the FCRA;
- to make decisions about a named individual (for example, screening, evaluating, or vetting that person), as opposed to identifying a company that just raised capital; or
- in any manner that would cause Takeoff Radar to be treated as a consumer reporting agency.
4. Our data & IP
Public filings remain public. Our enrichment, descriptions, compilation, and the service itself are our intellectual property, protected by our rights in the compiled database and original work. The §2 license does not transfer ownership of any of it.
The underlying Form D filings are freely available to anyone directly from SEC EDGAR at sec.gov. We don't fence the public filings, and every row links to its original document. What §2 and §3 protect is our compiled dataset, enrichment, and the service, not the public record itself.
5. No investment, professional, or eligibility advice
Takeoff Radar is an information tool, not investment, legal, or financial advice, and not a recommendation about any security, company, or person. It is likewise not a background check and not advice about any individual's eligibility for anything (see §3). Filings can contain errors or omissions; amounts may be undisclosed; enrichment is a heuristic aid, not a rating. You are responsible for verifying anything you act on. The service is provided "as is," without warranties, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
6. Billing
How paid subscriptions work, in plain terms:
- Billing cycle. Pro and Max are monthly subscriptions, billed in advance through Stripe, our payment processor. Your card details go to Stripe directly; we never see or store them. Your subscription renews automatically on the same day each month until you cancel.
- Price protection. If we raise a plan's price, the new price applies to new subscriptions only. As long as your subscription stays active, you keep the monthly price you signed up at; we will never move an active subscription's renewals to a higher price. If we ever lower a plan's price, you get the lower price automatically at your next renewal. If you cancel and later resubscribe, the price current at resubscription applies.
- Switching plans. You can switch between Pro and Max anytime from the billing portal. A switch bills at the then-current price of the plan you are switching to, prorated for the remainder of the billing period.
- Cancelling. Cancel anytime from the billing portal; no email or phone call required. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period: you keep paid features until then, and you are not charged again. We do not refund partial months.
- Failed payments. If a renewal charge fails, Stripe retries it automatically. If it still cannot be collected, the subscription cancels and your account reverts to the Free plan. Your saved filters are kept, but alerts, export, and API access pause until you resubscribe.
- Billing mistakes. If you believe we charged you in error, contact billing@takeoffradar.com and we will make it right.
7. Suspension & termination
We may suspend or terminate access for breach of these Terms; a §3 violation (resale, scraping, account sharing) especially. You may cancel anytime. Sections 3, 4, 5, and 8 survive termination.
8. Changes, liability & contact
We may update these Terms; material changes will be posted here with a new date. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability is limited to the fees you paid us in the prior 12 months. Questions: nick@takeoffradar.com.
