This Platform Agreement governs access to QALync’s online platform, dashboards, APIs/SDKs, and related tools (the “Platform”). It incorporates our Acceptable Use Policy.
Definitions.
“QALync IP” means the Platform and all related intellectual property; excludes Customer Data. “Authorized Users” are individuals you authorize and pay for. “Customer Application” means your apps or systems identified in an order or statement of work (“SOW”). “Customer Content/Data” means data you or your users submit. “Subscription Term” is the paid access period specified in an order.
Access; Documentation.
Subject to payment and compliance, we grant a non-exclusive, non-transferable right for Authorized Users to access the Platform during the Subscription Term for internal business purposes. Documentation may be used solely in connection with authorized Platform use.
Use Restrictions.
You will not copy, modify, create derivative works of, sublicense, sell, rent, reverse engineer, or remove notices from the Platform; use it to violate law or infringe rights; or communicate with other users outside permitted collaboration channels for commercial solicitation.
Aggregated Statistics.
We may collect, analyze, and use de-identified, aggregated usage data to operate, secure, and improve the Platform. We own such statistics.
Ownership.
Except for limited rights granted here, QALync retains all rights in the Platform and QALync IP. You retain rights in your Customer Data and Customer Application (excluding embedded QALync components).
Suspension.
We may suspend access for security threats, suspected fraud, legal requirements, vendor outages, or non-payment, and will use reasonable efforts to provide notice and updates.
Subscriptions; Renewal; Billing.
Platform access and certain service bundles are offered on a subscription basis (monthly or annually). Subscriptions continue for the Subscription Term and renew automatically unless canceled in accordance with your order. We may adjust renewal pricing with prior notice. Unused subscription capacity does not carry over unless expressly stated.
Fees; Taxes; Payment.
Fees are due as stated in the order/SOW (default net 30). Fees are non-cancellable and non-refundable except as set out in these Terms or where required by law. You are responsible for all applicable taxes, duties, and government charges.
Privacy; Customer Data; Sensitive Data.
You grant QALync a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, process, and display Customer Data as necessary to provide the Platform, and a perpetual license to use de-identified data for Aggregated Statistics. Do not upload special-category or highly regulated data (e.g., PHI, full payment card data) unless expressly permitted in writing; the Platform is not HIPAA-compliant.
Confidentiality.
Each party will protect the other party’s Confidential Information and use it only to perform under these Terms. QALync may share necessary information with bound personnel and contractors to deliver the Platform.
Term; Termination.
The Subscription Term runs as stated in your order. Either party may terminate for uncured material breach (10 days for non-payment; 30 days for other breaches). Upon termination, access ceases and all unpaid amounts become due. Sections on ownership, confidentiality, limitations, data, and indemnities survive.
Limited Warranty; Disclaimer.
We warrant the Platform will perform in material accordance with current documentation. Your exclusive remedy is repair, replacement, or a reasonable service credit; otherwise the Platform is provided “AS IS.”
Limitation of Liability.
NO INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY RELATING TO THE PLATFORM WILL NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID BY YOU FOR THE PLATFORM IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM.
Indemnification.
We will defend IP claims alleging that your authorized use of the unmodified Platform infringes third-party IP and will procure rights, modify, or refund unused prepaid fees if we discontinue affected functionality. Exclusions apply for combinations, modifications, or misuse. You will defend and hold us harmless from claims arising from your Customer Application or data.
Export; Sanctions.
You agree to comply with all applicable export control and sanctions laws and not cause QALync to violate them.
General (Platform).
Czech law; Prague courts. Notices by email or courier are effective when received. Force majeure may delay performance (but not fee obligations). These Terms and your orders/SOWs form the entire agreement. Assignment requires consent, except we may assign in connection with a merger or sale. We may identify you as a customer unless you opt out in writing.
IV. Refund Policy
We stand behind the quality of our testing and services. If you are dissatisfied, contact us within 14 days of delivery with specific concerns and examples. We will review and, where feasible, offer corrections or re-work. If we cannot reasonably remedy the issue, we will approve a refund to your original payment method subject to provider timelines.
Exceptions.
Refunds may be declined for services performed per agreed scope, for change-of-mind after acceptance, or where reasonable revisions were offered and refused. For subscriptions, cancellation stops future renewals; prepaid subscription fees are generally non-refundable unless required by law or expressly stated.
V. Acceptable Use Policy

License to Operate.
During the Subscription Term, you grant QALync a limited license to use Customer Content and Customer Data solely to provide the Services.
Sensitive Data.
Do not submit protected health information, full payment card data, national identifiers, or other highly regulated data unless expressly permitted in writing; QALync has no liability for Sensitive Data provided contrary to these restrictions.
