Terms of Service

These terms govern access to the Qognexus platform, the diagnostic instruments and any reports produced from them. Qognexus is a trading name of Echelon Labs.

Last updated 16 September 2026 · Governing law: the Netherlands

1. Agreement

By creating a workspace, signing an order form or using the platform you agree to these terms on behalf of yourself and the organisation you represent. Where a signed agreement exists between your organisation and Echelon Labs, that agreement takes precedence over these terms to the extent of any conflict.

2. Definitions

TermMeaning
PlatformThe Qognexus web application, its instruments, dashboards and exports.
InstrumentA Qognexus diagnostic such as QQD™, QCP™, QRP™ or QVT™.
Client DataContent, responses and results that you or your respondents submit.
WorkspaceThe tenant in which your users, programmes and results are held.

3. Accounts and access

Accounts are named and must not be shared. You are responsible for the accuracy of account details, for the acts of users in your workspace, and for keeping credentials confidential. Notify us promptly of any suspected unauthorised access. We may suspend an account where we reasonably believe it has been compromised.

4. Plans, fees and renewal

  • Self-serve plans are billed in advance and renew automatically for the same period until cancelled.
  • Enterprise and Managed Assurance engagements are billed as set out in the order form.
  • Prices are in euro and exclude VAT, which is added where applicable.
  • Invoices are payable within 30 days. Late payment may lead to suspension after written notice.
  • Fees already paid are non-refundable except where the law requires otherwise.

5. Acceptable use

You may not:

  • Resell, sublicense or provide the platform as a service to third parties without a practitioner or partner agreement.
  • Copy, adapt or reverse engineer the instruments, item banks or scoring logic.
  • Use results to make employment decisions about identifiable individuals.
  • Upload unlawful content, malware, or personal data you have no lawful basis to process.
  • Circumvent usage limits, probe the security of the platform, or interfere with its operation.

6. Client data

You own Client Data. You grant Echelon Labs a licence to host and process it for the purpose of providing the platform, and to use it in aggregated, de-identified form to improve the instruments and benchmarks.

Where we process personal data on your behalf we act as processor under the data processing agreement, and personal data is handled as set out in the Privacy Policy. You can export Client Data at any time during the term; we retain it for 90 days after termination, then delete it.

7. Intellectual property

The Qognexus™ Framework, the instruments, the platform, the wordmark and all associated materials remain the property of Echelon Labs. Nothing in these terms transfers ownership. Reports generated from your Client Data are yours to use inside your organisation and, for practitioners, with the client they were produced for; the underlying framework and item content may not be extracted or republished.

8. Practitioner licence

Practitioner plans include a licence to run the instruments with your own clients, subject to attribution of the Qognexus™ Framework in delivered materials. The licence is limited to the number of active client engagements in your plan and ends when the plan ends.

9. Availability and support

99.5%

Monthly availability target, excluding announced maintenance.

1 day

First response on support requests, business days.

Enterprise

Contracted service levels apply where an SLA is signed.

10. Warranties and liability

We warrant that the platform will be provided with reasonable skill and care. The instruments support judgement; they do not replace it, and we give no warranty as to particular outcomes of a change programme.

Neither party is liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue or goodwill. Our total liability in any twelve-month period is limited to the fees paid in that period. Nothing limits liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, death or personal injury, or any liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

11. Term and termination

Self-serve plans may be cancelled at any time and end at the close of the current billing period. Either party may terminate for material breach that is not cured within 30 days of written notice. On termination your access ends, outstanding fees fall due, and Client Data is available for export for 90 days.

12. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by Dutch law. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent court in Limburg, the Netherlands. We may change these terms with 30 days’ notice to workspace administrators; continued use after that date constitutes acceptance.
