Terms for using the QES public website.

Acceptance

Using the website.

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the website. QES may update these terms by publishing a revised version with a new effective date.

References to “QES”, “we”, “us” or “our” mean the QES Encryption business operating this website.

Website information

Public material is not a product contract.

Website content is provided for general information about QES, its product direction, security posture and engagement process. It is not an offer, guarantee, certification, legal opinion, security assessment or binding commitment.

Product capabilities, supported releases, deployment scope, pricing, service levels, data-processing terms and assurance evidence are confirmed through applicable written agreements and engagement documentation.

QES may change, remove or update website content without notice. Historical or cached content should not be relied on as the current product position.

Permitted use

Use the website lawfully and responsibly.

You may view, download and reference public website material for legitimate evaluation, business and informational purposes. You must not:

• Interfere with the website, bypass security controls or attempt unauthorised access.
• Use automated tools in a manner that disrupts availability or imposes unreasonable load.
• Introduce malicious code, harmful content or deceptive submissions.
• Misrepresent affiliation with QES or present QES content in a misleading context.
• Copy, reverse engineer or exploit website components except as permitted by law or written authorisation.
• Use QES branding, content or technical material to create a confusingly similar product, service or identity.

Good-faith security research must follow the QES vulnerability disclosure policy.

Intellectual property

QES content and branding.

The QES name, official logo, website design, written content, diagrams, product concepts, software references and other materials are owned by or licensed to QES and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

No right or licence is granted except the limited right to access and use the public website under these terms. You may not use the QES name or logo in advertising, endorsement, product naming, domain names, social accounts or other commercial material without prior written permission.

Confidentiality

Public information and controlled information are different.

Material published openly on the website is public. Detailed architecture, implementation, assessment, commercial or customer-specific material may be provided separately under an NDA, evaluation agreement or other written confidentiality obligations.

Nothing on the public website authorises a person to disclose, reproduce or use controlled QES material obtained through another channel.

External links

Third-party services.

The website may link to third-party sites or platforms for convenience, including social media. QES does not control and is not responsible for third-party content, availability, security, privacy or terms. A link does not necessarily imply endorsement or partnership.

Disclaimers

Website availability and accuracy.

To the extent permitted by law, the website is provided on an “as available” basis. QES does not guarantee that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, complete, current or free from harmful components.

Security outcomes depend on product version, configuration, user conduct, devices, identities, surrounding systems and organisational procedures. Public website content must not be treated as a substitute for professional assessment of a specific deployment.

Nothing in these terms excludes rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Liability

Use of public website material.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, QES is not liable for indirect, consequential, special or incidental loss arising from access to, reliance on or inability to use the public website or linked third-party services.

Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the extent permitted by applicable law. Separate product or service agreements may contain different allocations of liability for the contracted scope.
