DISCLAIMER
TOOL SUPPORT & SAFETY

Disclaimer

KiwiScan provides scam-safety guidance based on the message you paste or upload. It does not replace official advice, your bank, emergency services, or legal/financial professionals.

If you’re at immediate risk

If you feel unsafe, are being threatened, or believe a crime is in progress, contact emergency services immediately.

Quick summary (plain English)

This is the short version. The full disclaimer is below.

KiwiScan gives guidance, not guarantees

KiwiScan helps you assess risk using patterns, link signals, and NZ scam templates. It can be wrong. Use the output as a safety prompt — not a final verdict.

When in doubt, treat it as suspicious and verify via official channels.

No legal, financial, or emergency services

KiwiScan is not a lawyer, bank, insurer, Police, or emergency service. If you lose money or face threats, contact the right authority immediately.

For money loss: call your bank first, then report the scam.

You are responsible for what you share

Do not paste passwords, one-time passcodes (OTPs), full card numbers, or sensitive identity data. If you do, you accept that you chose to share it.

KiwiScan is designed to encourage safe use — but you control the input.

Scams change constantly

Scammers evolve quickly. A message can look safe but be dangerous, or look scary but be legitimate. Always verify using official apps/websites you type yourself.

KiwiScan is one layer of defence — not the only one.

Full disclaimer

Clear terms that protect users and keep expectations realistic.
