West Street, Suite 1501, Wilmington, Delaware 19801, United States. In these terms, we, us and our refer to Quantova Inc.
2. Agreement
By using this website or an endpoint operated by Quantova Inc, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use them. If you use them on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to bind it, and these terms then apply to that organisation.
3. Other policies
The Acceptable Use Policy forms part of these terms. The Privacy Policy and the Cookie Notice explain how we process personal data, and the Security and Disclosure policy explains how to report a vulnerability.
4. Information on this website
Content on this website, including descriptions of laws, regulations and standards, is general information. It is not legal, regulatory, financial or investment advice, and you should obtain your own advice before relying on it. We aim to keep the content accurate, but we do not guarantee that it is complete or current.
5. Software licence
The Qstamp SDK and the Quanta contract templates are licensed under the Apache License 2.0 or the MIT licence, at your option. Those licences govern your use of the software and prevail over these terms in respect of it.
6. Network endpoints and test network
We may make network endpoints available for development and evaluation. We may apply rate limits, and we may change, suspend or withdraw any endpoint at any time.
The Quantova test network and its TQTOV units are provided for development and evaluation. TQTOV has no monetary value, the test network may be reset, and receipts anchored on the test network should not be relied on as evidence.
7. Public and permanent transactions
Transactions submitted to the Quantova network are public and final. Neither we nor anyone else can reverse, alter or delete them. You are responsible for checking a transaction, including any data it carries, before you submit it.
8. Your responsibilities
You are responsible for your records, your signing keys, your receipts and your compliance with the laws that apply to you, including laws on data protection, on record keeping and on SI systems, including laws on artificial intelligence. You must comply with the Acceptable Use Policy.
9. Intellectual property
Quantova Inc owns this website, its content and its design. Except for software released under the licences above, you may view and print pages of this website for your own use, but you may not reproduce or distribute its content for commercial purposes without our written permission. Qstamp, Quantova, QVM and Quanta are marks of Quantova Inc. The licences above grant no right to use these marks except to describe the origin of the software accurately.
10. Third party services
This website is delivered through Cloudflare and links to external services such as GitHub and npm. We are not responsible for external services, which apply their own terms.
11. Disclaimer
The website, documentation and endpoints are provided as is and as available. To the extent permitted by law, Quantova Inc disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, of fitness for a particular purpose and of uninterrupted availability. We do not warrant that any receipt will be accepted as evidence by any court, regulator or other person.
12. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, Quantova Inc is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for loss of data, profit, revenue or goodwill, arising from or in connection with the website, its documentation or the endpoints. To the extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from or in connection with them is limited to one hundred United States dollars.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law.
13. Indemnity
If you use the website or the endpoints on behalf of an organisation, that organisation will indemnify us against claims by third parties arising from its breach of these terms or of the Acceptable Use Policy, to the extent permitted by law.
14. Suspension
We may suspend or end your access to the website or the endpoints if you breach these terms, or where necessary to protect our services or other users.
15. Changes to these terms
We may change these terms by publishing a new version on this page with a new effective date. The version in force when you use the website or the endpoints applies to that use.
16. Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms, and any dispute arising from or in connection with them, are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. The state and federal courts located in Delaware have jurisdiction over any such dispute. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country in which you live, and you may also bring proceedings in its courts.
17. General
If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer your rights under these terms without our consent. These terms, together with the policies they refer to, are the entire agreement between you and us about the website and the endpoints, and the software licences govern the software.
