Terms of Service

Terms governing access to and use of Howell Opportunity Radar.

Effective: September 7, 2026

1. Service

Howell Opportunity Radar is a digital research and business-development intelligence service offered by Howell Commerce Co. The service organizes information from public and other lawful sources into a customer-facing opportunity feed.

2. No guarantee

Radar does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timing, availability, bid eligibility, project award, profitability or completion of any opportunity. Public records can change. Customers are responsible for verifying official source documents and requirements before bidding, contacting a project party or making a business decision.

3. Access

Radar access is digital. Features, coverage, source availability, format and update frequency may change as the product improves. Access credentials are for the purchasing customer and may not be publicly shared.

4. Permitted use

Customers may use Radar for their own lawful business-development, estimating, prospecting, supplier and market-research activities.

5. Prohibited use

Customers may not resell, republish, systematically scrape, mirror or redistribute the feed as a competing data product; attempt to defeat access controls; or use Radar for unlawful activity.

6. Pricing, renewal, cancellation and refunds

Radar access is offered as a monthly subscription at the price displayed at checkout. Current plans include Starter at $4.99/month, Plus at $9.99/month, Pro at $19.99/month and Managed at $39.99/month. Existing legacy subscribers retain their agreed billing unless they change plans. The subscription renews automatically each month until canceled. Customers may cancel future renewals through the Stripe billing portal available from the member dashboard. Cancellation stops future renewal charges; access normally continues through the end of the current paid billing period.

Subscription charges are billed in advance and are non-refundable once a billing period begins. Howell Commerce Co. does not provide prorated or retroactive refunds solely because a customer changes their mind, does not use the service, cancels before the period ends, or does not obtain a project award, customer response, revenue or profit. Refunds or billing corrections may be provided where required by law or for verified duplicate, unauthorized, billing-error, or unresolved access/delivery charges. See the Refund Policy for details. Pricing for future new customers may change; existing billing terms remain governed by the price shown at checkout and applicable subscription terms.

One-time research services: The $4.99 Missouri Bid Match Mini-Scan and $49.99 Opportunity Desk Pilot are separate purchases with no automatic renewal or member access. Their scope and delivery timing are shown on the pricing page and at checkout. The Mini-Scan payment is refunded if no meaningful matches are found; see the one-time service terms.

7. Suspension and termination

Howell Commerce Co. may suspend access for misuse, unauthorized redistribution, fraud or security abuse. Cancellation of a subscription stops future renewals but does not erase obligations arising before cancellation. Customers remain responsible for lawful use of source information.

8. Kansas City open data
