1.2 Scope. These Radar Terms govern your access to and use of Radar, Particle's web interface located at radar.particle.pro, through which you may view trends, summaries, and analytics derived from podcast content tracked by Particle and run searches of Particle's podcast data ("Radar").

1.3 Other Particle Services. These Radar Terms do not govern: (a) the Particle Podcast Intelligence API or website; or (b) Particle's consumer-facing news website or mobile application, both of which are subject to separate terms of use.

1.4 Acceptance. By accessing or using Radar, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Radar Terms. If you do not agree, you must not access or use Radar.

1.5 Definitions. The following definitions apply to these Radar Terms:

(a) "Radar Output" means all content, data, metadata, summaries, analytics, transcripts, audio clips, and other materials made available to you through Radar.

(b) "Source Content" means third-party audio content sourced from external podcast publishers and made available through Radar.

(c) "Clips" means audio excerpts of Source Content selected or produced by Particle's systems. Clips are typically limited in duration.

(d) "Transcripts" means machine-generated textual representations of Clips or Source Content produced by Particle's automated systems.

(e) "Derived Content" means all outputs generated by Particle from or in connection with Source Content, including Clips, Transcripts, metadata, analytics, summaries, and other materials, but excluding the underlying Source Content itself.

(f) "Content Sources" means the third-party podcast creators, publishers, distributors, and platforms from which Particle sources Source Content.

2. ELIGIBILITY AND ACCOUNTS

2.1 Eligibility. You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age, or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction if higher, to use Radar.

2.2 Accounts. Certain Radar features may require you to create an account. If you create an account, you will provide accurate, current, and complete information and keep it updated. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account, and you will notify Particle promptly of any unauthorized use.

2.3 Access. Particle may make Radar available with or without registration and may limit, condition, suspend, modify, or discontinue Radar or any of its features at any time, with or without notice, in its sole discretion.

3. SUBSCRIPTIONS AND PAYMENT

3.1 Free and Paid Features. Particle makes certain Radar features available without charge and without requiring an account. Access to all other Radar features requires a paid subscription and a registered account (“Subscription”). Particle may change which features are available without charge at any time in its sole discretion.

3.2 Subscription Fees. Subscription fees are set out at radar.particle.pro/signup (the “Fees”). Particle reserves the right to increase the Fees upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice. Continued use of Radar following the effective date of a Fee increase constitutes your acceptance of the new Fees.

3.3 Billing. Particle will charge the Fee at the beginning of each calendar month (or, for the first month of service, on the date of sign-up, pro-rated for the number of days remaining in such month).

3.4 Renewal and Cancellation. Your Subscription automatically renews each month at the then-current Fees until cancelled. You may cancel at any time through your account settings or by contacting Particle at the address in Section 14.4. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period, after which your account will revert to the features available without charge. All Fees are non-refundable even if you terminate prior to the end of a billing period.

3.5 Taxes. All Fees are exclusive of taxes. You are responsible for all applicable sales, use, value-added, and other taxes, duties, and government assessments, excluding taxes based solely on Particle's net income.

3.6 Failed Payments. If a payment fails, Particle may retry the charge and may suspend or downgrade your access to Subscription features. If payment remains outstanding for thirty (30) days, Particle may terminate your Subscription.

4. DESCRIPTION OF RADAR

Radar provides a web interface through which you may view trends, summaries, and analytics derived from publicly available podcast episodes tracked by Particle, and run searches of Particle’s podcast data. Particle ingests and processes podcast content from publicly available sources using artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and other technologies. Radar Output constitutes Derived Content and, where applicable, Source Content.

13. TERM AND TERMINATION

13.1 Term. These Radar Terms are effective as of the date you first access Radar and continue until terminated in accordance with this Section 13.

13.2 Termination by You. You may terminate these Radar Terms at any time by ceasing all use of Radar and, if you have an account, closing it. If you have a Subscription, cancellation is governed by Section 3.4, and termination takes effect at the end of your current billing period.

13.3 Termination or Suspension by Particle. Particle may suspend or terminate your access to Radar at any time, with or without notice, if Particle reasonably believes that: (a) you have breached these Radar Terms; (b) your use poses a security risk or may adversely impact Radar or other users; (c) your use may subject Particle to liability; or (d) Particle is discontinuing Radar or any of its features.

13.4 Effect of Termination.
