Terms of Service
Welcome to Quantinal. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Quantinal platform and any related services (collectively, the “Services”). By creating an account or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Services. Quantinal is under active development, and the platform, its features, and these Terms may evolve over time.
1. Account Registration & Eligibility
To use Quantinal, you must create an account with accurate, complete information. You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms. You are responsible for:
- Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
- All activities that occur under your account, whether authorized by you or not
- Promptly notifying us of any unauthorized access or security breaches
- Ensuring your contact and billing information remains current
We may refuse registration or restrict account access where we reasonably believe information provided is inaccurate or incomplete, or where necessary to comply with legal requirements or protect the integrity of the platform.
2. Platform Services & Service Evolution
Quantinal is an AI-powered intelligence platform. The platform enables you to configure automated intelligence monitoring, upload data to secure storage, and receive analysis outputs. You may access outputs through available interfaces, which may include a web console, API, webhooks, or other methods as offered from time to time.
The platform is continuously evolving. You acknowledge and agree that:
- Services, features, capabilities, and user interfaces may be modified, improved, deprecated, or removed at any time without prior notice
- AI models, skills, tools, and processing pipelines may be updated, replaced, or reconfigured at our discretion to improve quality and performance
- The platform as it exists at any point in time does not represent a commitment to maintain that exact functionality indefinitely
- We may introduce new features, change existing workflows, or restructure service offerings as the platform matures
- Some features may be in early stages of development and may vary in stability, performance, or completeness — feature maturity may differ across different parts of the Services
We will make reasonable efforts to communicate significant changes through platform notifications, email, or our documentation. However, minor adjustments, performance improvements, and iterative updates may occur without individual notice.
3. Credits & Payment Terms
Quantinal operates on a credit-based billing system:
- Pricing: Credits are purchased at the prevailing USD rate as displayed at the time of purchase
- Minimum Purchase: A minimum purchase amount applies, as specified at checkout
- Expiration: Credits do not expire unless your account is inactive for 12 consecutive months
- Recurring Billing: We may offer automatic top-up or recurring billing options to help maintain your balance. If enabled, you authorize us to charge your payment method at the intervals and amounts you configure
Credits are for platform access as it currently exists. When you purchase credits, you are paying for access to the platform's Services in their present form. Credits do not entitle you to any specific future features, capabilities, or service levels. The platform may evolve — features may be added, modified, or removed — and your credits remain valid for the Services as they exist at the time of use.
Payment processing is handled securely through our third-party payment provider. You agree to comply with all terms and conditions of the payment provider. Fraudulent purchases, chargebacks, or payment disputes initiated in bad faith may result in account suspension pending investigation.
4. Refund Policy
Credits are generally non-refundable. All credit purchases are final once credited to your account. We do not issue refunds based on:
- Changes in platform features, services, or capabilities
- Dissatisfaction with analysis outputs, scores, or AI-generated content
- Unused credits remaining in your account
- Changes in your personal circumstances or business needs
- Service modifications that no longer meet your expectations at time of purchase
Exceptions: We will consider refunds or credit adjustments in the following cases:
- Platform errors: If credits were consumed due to a verified platform bug, system malfunction, or billing error on our part
- Duplicate charges: If you were charged multiple times for the same purchase due to a processing error
- Unauthorized transactions: If your account was compromised and credits were purchased or consumed without your authorization (subject to our investigation)
Refund requests must be submitted through our website at www.quantinal.ai within 30 days of the event. We will review each request on a case-by-case basis and respond as soon as reasonably practicable. The determination of whether a refund is warranted is at our reasonable discretion, taking into account the circumstances and any supporting evidence you provide.
5. Usage Costs
Credits are consumed based on your usage. Different AI capabilities, processing modes, data connections, and storage configurations may cost different amounts. Current pricing is displayed in your dashboard and at checkout.
We reserve the right to adjust pricing at any time. We will provide at least 30 days' notice to active users before material pricing changes take effect. Pricing details are maintained in our documentation at docs.quantinal.ai.
6. Acceptable Use Policy
You agree to use Quantinal only for lawful purposes and in compliance with these Terms. Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to:
- Violating any applicable laws, regulations, or third-party rights
- Scraping or collecting data in violation of applicable website terms of service or laws
- Uploading malicious content, malware, or harmful files
- Attempting to circumvent rate limits, security measures, or access controls
- Reverse engineering, decompiling, disassembling, or otherwise attempting to derive source code or underlying algorithms of the platform

- Reselling, sublicensing, or redistributing platform access or outputs without authorization
- Systematic or automated extraction of platform outputs for the purpose of building a competing product or service
- Impersonating others or misrepresenting your identity or affiliation
- Interfering with or disrupting the integrity or performance of the Services
Violations of this policy may result in a warning, temporary suspension, or permanent termination of your account, depending on the severity and nature of the violation. In cases of severe or repeated violations — including activity that threatens the security of the platform or other users — we may take immediate action, including suspension without prior notice.
7. Intellectual Property Rights

10. Account Termination
By You: You may delete your account at any time through your account settings or by contacting us. Upon deletion, we will remove your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
By Us: We may suspend or terminate your account if you materially violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent or abusive activity, or if required by law. We will provide reasonable notice and, where appropriate, an opportunity to address the issue before permanent termination — except where immediate action is necessary to protect the platform, other users, or comply with legal obligations.
Effect of Termination: Upon termination, your right to use the Services ceases immediately. If your account is terminated by us for reasons other than a violation of these Terms, we may, at our reasonable discretion, issue a credit refund for any substantial unused balance. If your account is terminated due to a violation of these Terms, unused credits are forfeited. Sections 7 through 9, 11 through 13, and 15 shall survive any termination or expiration of these Terms.

12. Force Majeure
Quantinal shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms to the extent that such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: natural disasters, acts of government, pandemics, war or terrorism, labor disputes, internet or telecommunications failures, cyberattacks, third-party service provider outages, or utility failures. During any such event, our obligations under these Terms shall be suspended for the duration of the event.
13. Governing Law & Disputes
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong SAR, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or your use of the Services shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Hong Kong.
Informal Resolution: Before initiating any formal legal proceedings, you agree to first contact us through our website and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days. Most concerns can be resolved quickly through this process.
14. Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms at any time. For material changes, we will notify you via email or platform notification at least 30 days before they take effect. For non-material changes (such as clarifications or formatting), updates may take effect immediately upon posting. Continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree with the revised Terms, you must stop using the Services and may close your account.
