2. Account Eligibility & Registration

The Services are offered solely to business enterprises. By registering, the Subscriber warrants that it is acting in a professional capacity and not as a consumer.
The Subscriber is responsible for (a) verifying the identity of Authorised Users and (b) maintaining the confidentiality of all credentials. Breach of this clause is material.

Notice of renewals. The contract is renewed if it is not terminated with 3 months’ notice before the end of the current term. If there are changes to price and/or terms, Radar will send the billing contact a reminder an additional 30 days before this date.

4. Licence Grant & Permitted Uses

Subject to these Terms and timely payment of Fees, Radar grants the Subscriber a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access and use the Services and Content for its own internal business purposes.
No derivative works. Except as expressly allowed, the Subscriber may not translate, adapt, de-compile, scrape, text-mine or otherwise create derivative works from the Content.
Reservation of rights. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by Radar.

4.1. Acceptable Use Policy

The Subscriber and its Authorised Users shall not:

• upload malware, personal data not strictly required for business use, or any illegal content;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access, run penetration tests, or circumvent technical protections;
• use scraped or bulk-downloaded Content to train AI/ML models or commercial databases;
• misrepresent Radar research as endorsement of a product, service or investment.

Radar may suspend accounts that violate this AUP with immediate effect.

5. Usage & Citation Policy

This section explains the conditions under which subscribers, partners, media outlets, and other third parties may quote, excerpt, reproduce, or otherwise reference Radar research, data, graphics, and analyst commentary. It supplements—but does not supersede—our general copyright and usage restrictions.

5.1. Attribution Requirements	Full legal name – Always reference us as “Radar Group” Acceptable citation forms (examples) Analyst quote: “According to Anna Svensson, Senior Analyst, Radar Group […]” Research document: Radar Group, Swedish Enterprise IT Spending 2025, 2025.

5.2 Internal vs. External Use	Internal circulation inside the licensed organisation must retain copyright notice. No edits.

Quoting up to 50 words in academic work while providing full citation does not require specific approval. Quotation must remain verbatim and in context.
5.3 Excerpts & Quotations	Verbatim only. Paraphrasing, truncating sentences, or re-ordering bullet points is prohibited. Contextual integrity. Do not remove qualifying language (e.g., “for midsize Nordic firms”). No selective endorsements. You may not use Radar content to claim that a vendor, product, or service is “best,” “market-leading,” or similar unless those exact words appear in the original research. One-to-one competitor comparisons are forbidden unless Radar explicitly performed such a comparison in the cited document.
5.4 Prohibited Uses	Implying Radar “endorses” a specific vendor, product, or financial transaction. Using Radar content in paid advertisements (print, digital, broadcast) without a licence.

5.6 Violations	Unauthorised reproduction or misattribution constitutes a material breach of the Terms of Use and may result in: Immediate suspension of access (see Termination of Contract). Invoice for lost subscription revenue and/or reprint fees. Pursuit of damages under Swedish and international copyright law.
5.7 Relationship to Privacy Policy	Where excerpting or republishing requires sharing personal data (e.g., analyst photos), such processing must comply with our Privacy Policy.
5.8 Intellectual-Property Rights	The Platform, Content and all related IP are owned or licensed by Radar and are protected by Swedish and international copyright laws. The Subscriber grants Radar a worldwide, royalty-free licence to host and display any data it voluntarily uploads, solely to operate and improve the Services.

 

6. Confidentiality

Each party undertakes to keep the other’s Confidential Information strictly confidential for five (5) years after disclosure, except where disclosure is required by law or to professional advisers under equivalent obligations. Source code and security docs remain confidential indefinitely. Or as explicitly agreed.

7. Termination & Suspension

Either party may terminate with immediate effect if the other materially breaches these Terms and fails to cure within 30 days of written notice, or becomes insolvent. Radar may terminate a Subscription provided the customer does not use the Services in accordance with the Acceptable Use Policy. Radar may suspend access for non-payment 15 days after a payment is due.
Upon termination, the licence ends and the Subscriber must cease all use of the Content except as permitted under Usage and citation.

8. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

Content is provided “as is” for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, financial or investment advice. Portions of the research may be produced or enriched by machine-learning models and could contain inaccuracies. The Subscriber should corroborate critical findings before acting. Radar disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Radar’s aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall not exceed the Fees paid by the Subscriber in the preceding 12-month period, except for (a) personal injury caused by negligence, (b) wilful misconduct or (c) liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law. In no event is Radar liable for lost profits, loss of data, or any indirect or consequential damages.

9. Changes to the Services or these Terms

Radar may update the Services or these Terms occasionally. Material changes become effective 14 days after posting and are accompanied by a change log at the top of this document. Continued use after that date constitutes acceptance. Emergency security patches may be deployed immediately. Provided the Customer has not reasonable grounds for refusal, the Customer accepts the changes in accordance with this section.

10. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by Swedish law. Any dispute shall be finally resolved by arbitration under the Rules for Expedited Arbitration of the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC), seated in Stockholm and conducted in Swedish.

11. General
