QInsights: General Terms & Conditions (GTC)/End User Licence Agreement (EULA)
Updated: August 2026
These General Terms and Conditions (GTC)/End User Licence Agreement (EULA) govern the use of the SaaS for AI-supported data analysis “QInsights”, which is provided by QInsights BV. The service enables users to have uploaded documents automatically analysed and summarised according to various criteria (“Document Analysis”).
General part
§ 1 Subject matter of the contract
1. The subject of these GTC/EULA is all services provided within the scope of the QInsights product.
2. The provider of deliveries or services under this contract is QInsights BV, Bierstraat 123C, 3011 XA Rotterdam, The Netherlands, hereinafter referred to as “QInsights BV”.
3. Subject to explicit provisions to the contrary in these GTC/EULA, QInsights BV is the manufacturer and owner of all exploitation rights to QInsights.
§ 2 Payment processing via third-party provider
Where an order is processed through Paddle, Paddle acts as QINSIGHTS BV’s authorised reseller and Merchant of Record for the transaction. Payment collection, invoicing, applicable taxes, refunds, chargebacks and subscription administration for such transactions are handled by Paddle in accordance with Paddle’s terms. The QInsights service is provided by QINSIGHTS BV under these GTC/EULA. Orders invoiced directly by QINSIGHTS BV are contracted directly with QINSIGHTS BV.
§ 3 Services and technical requirements
1. QInsights offers the Customer the option of having uploaded documents automatically analysed and summarised by various criteria. For this purpose, the Customer uploads the documents to its QInsights Account, and QInsights BV forwards them to a service provider via an interface. The created result is displayed in the user account.
2. The owed quality and the exact functional scope of QInsights can be found in the functional descriptions available in the QInsights Manual: https://qinsights.ai/manual.
3. The automated analysis of the Customer’s documents is not carried out by QINSIGHTS BV itself, but by service providers with which QINSIGHTS BV has a contractual agreement. The service providers use artificial intelligence for document analysis. A regularly updated list of the service providers used can be found at https://qinsights.ai/compliance.
There is no entitlement to the use of a specific service provider or a specific method of artificial intelligence. The service providers used can be changed at any time if this does not result in any changes to QInsights. If the change of the service provider involves changes to QInsights, the change will only be made if there is a valid reason. A valid reason for a change exists in particular if QInsights is to be improved, an adaptation to new technical conditions is necessary, a uniform upgrade is required to avoid several parallel versions, or other important operational reasons necessitate the change. QINSIGHTS BV is continuously developing QInsights and will improve QInsights through ongoing updates. Accordingly, QINSIGHTS BV is authorised to change QInsights at its own discretion. Unless it is a change or update that is necessary to maintain compliance with the contract, such changes will only be made if there is a valid reason. A valid reason for a change exists in particular if QInsights is to be improved, an adaptation to new technical conditions is necessary, a uniform upgrade is required to avoid several parallel versions, or other important operational reasons necessitate the change. The customer will be informed of functional changes in an appropriate manner, e.g. through notices in the QInsights Account or per email.
§ 4 Use of QInsights
1. Product presentations, in particular on QINSIGHTS BV’s websites, do not constitute an offer to conclude a contract.
2. Information provided by QINSIGHTS BV via telephone is non-binding.
3. In order to use QInsights, the customer must create a customer account on QINSIGHTS BV’s website. A contract granting the right to use QInsights is concluded when the customer agrees to these GTC/EULA within his QInsights Account.
4. The customer is granted the opportunity to use QInsights as part of a free trial version up to a limit of 1 million tokens. During the free trial period, the customer has limited access to all functions of the paid full version. After the free tokens are used, the trial phase ends automatically unless a paid contract extension is purchased. If the customer purchases a paid licence before the trial period expires, all data and results from the trial period will be transferred to the regular customer account and will remain available.
5. The customer is solely responsible for all activities carried out via their QInsights Account. The customer agrees to keep his login details confidential and not to grant third-parties access to his account. QINSIGHTS BV must be informed immediately if there is any suspicion of unauthorised use.
6. If the customer uses QInsights on behalf of a company or other organisation, they warrant that they are authorised to represent it in a legally binding manner. The obligations under this contract then also apply to the represented organisation.
7. The customer remains responsible for all content that they enter, store or transfer using QInsights. QINSIGHTS BV does not check their content. The customer warrants that they have all necessary rights and permissions to use and share this content.
8. The contract for the use of QInsights is concluded for an indefinite period unless a specific subscription term has been agreed. Paid subscriptions are subject to the agreed subscription term and the renewal and cancellation provisions in § 4a. The Customer may delete its QInsights Account, subject to any ongoing payment obligations under a paid subscription.
9. QINSIGHTS BV is permitted to collect and evaluate aggregated and anonymised data on the use of QInsights in order to improve or market the service and other products and services, provided that no personal data within the meaning of the GDPR is processed or disclosed.
§ 4a Subscription renewal, cancellation and refunds
1. Automatic renewal: If the Customer purchases access to QInsights on a subscription basis, the subscription shall automatically renew for the agreed billing period unless cancelled before the next renewal date.
2. Cancellation: The Customer may cancel the renewal of a subscription at any time. Cancellation shall take effect at the end of the then-current billing period.
3. Refunds: Except where § 12 or mandatory applicable law provides otherwise, cancellation does not entitle the Customer to a refund of fees already paid for the current billing period.
4. Paddle payments and refunds: Where payment has been processed through Paddle, refund requests relating to that transaction shall be processed through Paddle. Any approved refund shall be returned to the original payment method used for the purchase.
§ 5 Rights of use
1. QINSIGHTS BV grants the customer the non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use QInsights as intended for the duration of the contract.
2. The customer may not make any changes to QInsights that go beyond what QINSIGHTS BV enables the customer to do by providing corresponding functions (e.g. in the settings).
3. The customer is not authorised to make QInsights available to third parties for use, either for a fee or free of charge. The customer is expressly prohibited from subletting QInsights.
4. The customer is not permitted to edit, modify or alter QInsights (in whole or in part) or to disassemble, decompile, reverse engineer or convert QInsights in whole or in part, nor may the customer permit or enable third parties to do so. Furthermore, the customer may not use QInsights to create, train or improve similar or competing products or services (directly or indirectly).
§ 6 Scope of use
1. The customer is not permitted to use QInsights in a manner that violates laws or the rights of third parties or unlawfully affects their rights or otherwise violates the provisions of these GTC/EULA or those of the service providers (as amended from time to time). In particular, the use of the function for the following purposes or the provision of the following content is prohibited:
- Illegal or harmful activities, including the creation, distribution or promotion of illegal content, discriminatory, violent, hateful or harassing content, and content that exploits or harms children,
- Violation of third-party rights, in particular privacy, intellectual property or other legally protected interests,
- Impairment of security and integrity, for example through hacking, circumvention of technical protection measures, distribution of malware or other attacks on systems or networks,
- High-risk applications, including use in connection with military purposes, critical infrastructure, medical, legal or financial advice, unless reviewed by qualified professionals,
- Deception, fraud and manipulation, including misleading statements, fraudulent business practices, multi-level marketing or unauthorised data processing,

2. The terms and conditions of the respective service providers are available on our website, where we provide a link for each service provider: https://qinsights.ai/compliance
3. The customer is also not permitted to claim that the result generated by QInsights was produced by humans, although this is not the case.
§ 7 Data protection
1. QInsights BV collects and processes personal data in accordance with the GDPR.
2. Insofar as the Customer processes personal data through the use of QInsights, the Customer is responsible for ensuring that it is authorised to provide such data to QINSIGHTS BV for processing and that its use of the data complies with the data protection and privacy laws applicable to the Customer and the relevant processing. Where the GDPR applies, the Customer shall comply with the obligations applicable to it in its capacity as controller or processor, as the case may be.
3. The following provisions do not apply if the customer is a natural person and the processing of personal data is carried out exclusively for personal or family activities.
1. Data processing agreement
1.1 Schedule 1 to these GTC/EULA contains the QINSIGHTS BV Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) for processing in which the Customer acts as controller and QINSIGHTS BV acts as processor. This DPA constitutes the mutual agreement of the parties with respect to such processing when the Customer uses QInsights in accordance with these GTC/EULA. Where the Customer acts as a processor on behalf of another controller, QINSIGHTS BV acts as a sub-processor and the Customer is responsible for ensuring that its instructions to QINSIGHTS BV are consistent with the instructions and authorisation of the relevant controller.
1.2 The DPA forms an integral part of the GTC. Upon the customer's consent to these GTC/EULA, the DPA shall also become effective between the parties.
1.3 In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the DPA and these GTC/EULA, the DPA shall prevail to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency.
2. Standard contractual clauses
2.1 If the Customer is located in a country outside the European Economic Area for which the European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision, the applicable Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission shall apply to the transfer, depending on the roles of the parties.
2.2 Schedule 2 to these GTC/EULA contains Module 4 (Transfer from a Processor to a Controller) of Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 and applies where the Customer acts as controller. Where the Customer acts as processor, Module 3 (Transfer from a Processor to a Processor) of Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 shall apply instead in its unmodified form, with the parties’ roles and annex information completed according to the relevant processing.
2.3 The applicable SCC form an integral part of the GTC/EULA and become effective between the Parties upon the Customer’s agreement to these GTC/EULA.
3. Definitions
Terms not otherwise defined in the DPA and/or the SCC shall have the meaning set out in the GDPR.
4. Information for the DPA and SCC
4.1 The following information contains the relevant information for Annex II of the DPA and Annex I Section B of the SCC:

Customer Content may include special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9 GDPR, including, for example, health data, political opinions, racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, or information concerning a person’s sex life or sexual orientation. QINSIGHTS BV processes such data solely for the purpose of providing the QInsights services and in accordance with the Customer’s documented instructions.
The Customer determines which data is uploaded to QInsights and is responsible for ensuring that the processing of such data complies with the data protection and privacy laws applicable to the Customer and the relevant processing. Where the GDPR applies, the Customer is responsible for ensuring that the requirements of Articles 6 and 9 GDPR and, where applicable, the safeguards required under Article 89 GDPR or applicable national law are met.
QINSIGHTS BV does not require Customers to upload special-category personal data. Where appropriate for the Customer’s research or analysis, Customers may anonymise or pseudonymise personal data before uploading it to QInsights.

Continuously during the customer's use of QInsights.
Nature of the processing
Automated document analysis using artificial intelligence.
Purpose(s) of the data transfer and further processing
Automated document analysis using artificial intelligence.
The period for which the personal data will be retained, or, if that is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
The data provided by the Customer will be processed for the duration of the contractual relationship. Upon termination or expiry of the relevant service, personal data will be returned or deleted in accordance with Schedule 1 and applicable law. Personal data may be retained only where and for as long as required by applicable law or where it has been irreversibly anonymised.

When using QInsights, Customer Content is stored on cloud infrastructure and, where necessary for the requested functionality, forwarded to service providers for further processing, including artificial-intelligence processing.

Activities relevant to the data transferred under these clauses: Provision of QInsights
§ 8 Warranty and liability
a) The document analyses are generated by QINSIGHTS BV with the help of a service provider on the basis of artificial intelligence. Accordingly, typical inaccuracies and errors are to be expected. QINSIGHTS BV does not guarantee the accuracy, correctness, completeness and/or reliability of the document analyses.
b) QINSIGHTS BV is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence as well as for slight negligence in the event of damage resulting from injury to body, life or health. In other cases of slight negligence, QINSIGHTS BV is only liable in the event of a breach of material contractual obligations, meaning obligations that make the reasonable and proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on the fulfilment of which the Customer may reasonably rely, and only for foreseeable, typically occurring damage. Other claims for damages are excluded to the extent permitted by law. These limitations and exclusions do not apply in the event of fraudulent concealment of a defect, breach of an express warranty or where liability cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory applicable law.
c) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, warranty and liability are excluded for consequences arising from the customer making changes to QInsights itself or with the help of a third party or operating QInsights improperly or incorrectly.
d) QINSIGHTS BV does not accept any liability for the loss of data, unless QINSIGHTS BV caused the loss intentionally or through gross negligence and the customer had taken reasonable precautions to ensure that a data backup was carried out according to the latest technological standards and at appropriate intervals (at least once per day), so that the data could reasonably be reconstructed.
e) QINSIGHTS BV is not liable to the customer for delays in performance resulting from force majeure, namely circumstances beyond QINSIGHTS BV's control. The same applies if QINSIGHTS BV is unable to provide its service in accordance with these GTC/EULA due to a lack of information or cooperation from the customer.
f) Any further liability is excluded, irrespective of the legal grounds.
g) Insofar as QINSIGHTS BV's liability is excluded or limited, this also applies to the personal liability of QINSIGHTS BV's employees, representatives and vicarious agents.

QInsights is not fault-tolerant and is not designed or intended for use in hazardous environments requiring fail-safe performance, including without limitation, in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, air traffic control, weapons systems, direct life-support machines, or any other application in which the failure of the software could lead directly to death, personal injury, or severe physical or property damage (collectively, High Risk Activities). QINSIGHTS BV expressly disclaims any express or implied warranty of fitness of QInsights for high-risk activities.
§ 10 Copyright

3.6 Set-off and suspension of payment: The Customer is not entitled to set off amounts owed to QINSIGHTS BV against any counterclaim. Objections to the amount of an invoice do not suspend the payment obligation.

4.2 Claims for compensation for damages and expenses for reimbursement shall become time barred within 12 months. This 12-month period begins at the earliest with the notification of the defect by the Customer and at the latest at the end of the year in which the Customer recognized the defect or could have recognized it without negligence.

(a) The processor shall process personal data only on documented instructions from the controller, unless required to do so by Union or Member State law to which the processor is subject. In this case, the processor shall inform the controller of that legal requirement before processing, unless the law prohibits this on important grounds of public interest. Subsequent instructions may also be given by the controller throughout the duration of the processing of personal data. These instructions shall always be documented.
(b) The processor shall immediately inform the controller if, in the processor’s opinion, instructions given by the controller infringe Regulation (EU) 2016/679 / Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 or the applicable Union or Member State data protection provisions.

Processing by the processor shall only take place for the duration specified in Annex II.
1.4.Security of processing
(a) The processor shall at least implement the technical and organisational measures specified in Annex III to ensure the security of the personal data. This includes protecting the data against a breach of security leading to accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access to the data (personal data breach). In assessing the appropriate level of security, the Parties shall take due account of the state of the art, the costs of implementation, the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing and the risks involved for the data subjects.

In deciding on a review or an audit, the controller may take into account relevant certifications held by the processor.

(a) The processor has the controller’s general authorisation for the engagement of sub-processors from an agreed list. The processor shall specifically inform in writing the controller of any intended changes of that list through the addition or replacement of sub-processors at least five business days in advance, thereby giving the controller sufficient time to be able to object to such changes prior to the engagement of the concerned sub-processor(s). The processor shall provide the controller with the information necessary to enable the controller to exercise the right to object.
(b) Where the processor engages a sub-processor for carrying out specific processing activities (on behalf of the controller), it shall do so by way of a contract which imposes on the sub- processor, in substance, the same data protection obligations as the ones imposed on the data processor in accordance with these Clauses. The processor shall ensure that the sub- processor complies with the obligations to which the processor is subject pursuant to these Clauses and to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and/or Regulation (EU) 2018/1725.
(c) At the controller’s request, the processor shall provide a copy of such a sub-processor agreement and any subsequent amendments to the controller. To the extent necessary to protect business secret or other confidential information, including personal data, the processor may redact the text of the agreement prior to sharing the copy.
(d) The processor shall remain fully responsible to the controller for the performance of the sub- processor’s obligations in accordance with its contract with the processor. The processor shall notify the controller of any failure by the subprocessor to fulfil its contractual obligations.
(e) The processor shall agree a third party beneficiary clause with the sub-processor whereby - in the event the processor has factually disappeared, ceased to exist in law or has become insolvent - the controller shall have the right to terminate the sub-processor contract and to instruct the sub-processor to erase or return the personal data.
1.8.International transfers
(a) Any transfer of data to a third country or an international organisation by the processor shall be done only on the basis of documented instructions from the controller or in order to fulfil a specific requirement under Union or Member State law to which the processor is subject and shall take place in compliance with Chapter V of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or Regulation (EU) 2018/1725.
(b) The controller agrees that where the processor engages a sub-processor in accordance with Clause 7.7. for carrying out specific processing activities (on behalf of the controller) and those processing activities involve a transfer of personal data within the meaning of Chapter V of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the processor and the sub- processor can ensure compliance with Chapter V of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 by using standard contractual clauses adopted by the Commission in accordance with of Article 46(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, provided the conditions for the use of those standard contractual clauses are met.
Clause 8
2.2.3 Assistance to the controller
(a) The processor shall promptly notify the controller of any request it has received from the data subject. It shall not respond to the request itself, unless authorised to do so by the controller.
(b) The processor shall assist the controller in fulfilling its obligations to respond to data subjects’ requests to exercise their rights, taking into account the nature of the processing. In fulfilling its obligations in accordance with (a) and (b), the processor shall comply with the controller’s instructions
(c) In addition to the processor’s obligation to assist the controller pursuant to Clause 8 (b), the processor shall furthermore assist the controller in ensuring compliance with the following obligations, taking into account the nature of the data processing and the information available to the processor:
(1) the obligation to carry out an assessment of the impact of the envisaged processing operations on the protection of personal data (a ‘data protection impact assessment’) where a type of processing is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons;
(2) the obligation to consult the competent supervisory authority/ies prior to processing where a data protection impact assessment indicates that the processing would result in a high risk in the absence of measures taken by the controller to mitigate the risk;
(3) the obligation to ensure that personal data is accurate and up to date, by informing the controller without delay if the processor becomes aware that the personal data it is processing is inaccurate or has become outdated;
(4) the obligations in Article 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
(d) The Parties shall set out in Annex III the appropriate technical and organisational measures by which the processor is required to assist the controller in the application of this Clause as well as the scope and the extent of the assistance required.
Clause 9
2.2.4 Notification of personal data breach
In the event of a personal data breach, the processor shall cooperate with and assist the controller for the controller to comply with its obligations under Articles 33 and 34 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or under Articles 34 and 35 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, where applicable, taking into account the nature of processing and the information available to the processor.

APPENDIX
EXPLANATORY NOTE:
It must be possible to clearly distinguish the information applicable to each transfer or category of transfers and, in this regard, to determine the respective role(s) of the Parties as data exporter(s) and/or data importer(s). This does not necessarily require completing and signing separate appendices for each transfer/category of transfers and/or contractual relationship, where this transparency can be achieved through one appendix. However, where necessary to ensure sufficient clarity, separate appendices should be used.
