Terms and Conditions

Agreement to Our Legal Terms

We are the Global Open Source Quality Assurance System “GOSQAS.” We operate the website https://gosqas.org. You can contact us by email at gosqasystem@gmail.com.

These Legal Terms constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity ("you"), and Global Open Source Quality Assurance System concerning your access to and use of the Services. You agree that by accessing the Services, you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by all of these Legal Terms.

If you do not agree with all of these legal terms, then you are expressly prohibited from using the services and you must discontinue use immediately.

Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the Services from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these Legal Terms from time to time. We will alert you about any changes by updating the "Last updated" date of these Legal Terms, and you waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change. It is your responsibility to periodically review these Legal Terms to stay informed of updates. You will be subject to, and will be deemed to have been made aware of and to have accepted, the changes in any revised Legal Terms by your continued use of the Services after the date such revised Legal Terms are posted.

The information provided when using the Services is not intended for distribution or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws if and to the extent local laws are applicable.

The Services are not tailored to comply with industry-specific regulations (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), etc.), so if your interactions would be subjected to such laws, you may not use the Services. You may not use the Services in a way that would violate the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).

Prohibited Activities

You will not post, send, publish, upload, or transmit through the Services any Submission nor post any Contribution that is illegal, harassing, hateful, harmful, defamatory, obscene, bullying, abusive, discriminatory, threatening to any person or group, sexually explicit, false, inaccurate, deceitful, or misleading; to the extent permissible by applicable law.

You will not post, send, publish, upload or transmit through the Services any Submission nor post an Contribution whose intent is to reveal information, whether public or not, that is intended to cause harassment or harm to an individual or group, or that would generally be considered “doxxing”.

Limitations of Liability

In no event will we or our directors, employees, or agents be liable to you or any third party for any direct, indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special, or punitive damages, including lost profit, lost revenue, loss of data, or other damages arising from your use of the services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless, including our subsidiaries, affiliates, and all of our respective officers, agents, partners, and employees, from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses, made by any third party due to or arising out of:

1. your Contributions;
2. use of the Services;
3. breach of these Legal Terms;
4. any breach of your representations and warranties set forth in these Legal Terms;
5. your violation of the rights of a third party, including but not limited to intellectual property rights;
6. any overt harmful act toward any other user of the Services with whom you connected via the Services.

User Data

We maintain certain data that you transmit to our Services for the purpose of managing performance, as well as data related to your use of the Services. While we perform regular backups, you are solely responsible for all data that you transmit, or that pertains to any activity you have undertaken using the Services. You agree that we shall have no liability for any loss, disclosure, or corruption of such data, and you hereby waive any right of action against us arising from any such incidents.

Data Encryption and Recovery

Please be aware that we do not retain the ability to read your data. All data—including provenance records and attachments—is fully encrypted and stored in Azure Blob Storage. We do not store your encryption key; we only use it to generate a device ID by applying a SHA256 hash to the device key. We do not retain your device key, and if you lose it, we cannot recover your data. This approach differs from other sites and applications; we intentionally do not have the ability to read your data to enhance your security and privacy.

Electronic Communications, Transactions, and Signatures

Visiting the Services, sending us emails, and completing online forms constitute electronic communications. You consent to receive electronic communications, and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide to you electronically, via email, and on the Services satisfy any legal requirement that such communication is in writing.

You hereby agree to the use of electronic signatures, contracts, orders, and other records, and to electronic delivery of notices, policies, and records of transactions initiated or completed by us or via the services.

You hereby waive any rights or requirements under any statutes, regulations, rules, ordinances, or other laws in any jurisdiction which require an original signature or delivery or retention of non-electronic records, or to payments or the granting of credits by any means other than electronic means.

California Users and Residents

Miscellaneous

These Legal Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Services or with respect to the Services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Legal Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. These LegalTerms operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. We may assign any or all of our rights and obligations to others at any time. We shall not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, delay, or failure to act caused by any cause beyond our reasonable control. If any provision or part of a provision of these Legal Terms is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Legal Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. There is no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship created between you and us as a result of these Legal Terms or use of the Services. You agree that these Legal Terms will not be construed against us by virtue of having drafted them. You hereby waive any and all defenses you may have based on the electronic form of these Legal Terms and the lack of signing by the parties hereto to execute these Legal Terms.
