Acceptance
These Terms and conditions together with the Privacy Policy (collectively “Terms”) govern your use of the application or website where you accessed these Terms and use of the related services (collectively "Service") and the Terms constitute an agreement between you and Quodel defining the rights and responsibilities of you and Quodel including its affiliates and suppliers and sub contractors(collectively “Quodel”) with respect to the Service. There may be additional conditions applicable to certain parts of the Service.
You are not allowed to use the Service if you do not agree to the Terms.
Eligibility
To use the Service, you must be eligible in your jurisdiction in terms of years of age. If you are of sufficient age but a minor where you live, you must review the Terms and have your parent or legal guardian complete the registration on your behalf for you to use the Service.
The person completing the registration must be legally competent.
Registration and Account Security
The Quodel Pre-launch site is specifically intended for interested parties to register themselves as authentic Quodel Application users. As Quodel will be used to integrate your profiles into one authentic profile, it is important that the information is authentic, verifiable if necessary, and useful to the people in your life, in terms of enabling and enhancing communication.
You will be agreeing to participate in the culture of Quodel as articulated in our “About Us” page, as the success of the Quodel application depends on the user managing their registration details, which will form the basis for the provision of a single Profile identifying the user. As the profile will be the basis for integrating other profile information, the user is responsible for the accuracy, completeness and usefulness of the profile which will underpin the Quodel application. Technology alone cannot provide for the single view of the user across a multitude of applications, unless there is a strong motivation from the user to manage their information from day 1.
Therefore, Quodel users will provide their real names and information accurately and as uniquely as possible, and we need your help to keep it that way.
Here are some commitments you make to us relating to registering and maintaining the security and integrity of your account:
Protecting Other People's Rights
We respect other people's rights, and expect you to do the same.

Waiver of Legal Right
If a user breaches any of these terms and conditions of use, and Quodel has knowledge of that breach, a failure to pursue legal action or to enforce any remedy against the user will not constitute a waiver of Quodel's legal rights.
Any waiver of any provision of these terms and conditions of use will only be effective if it is in writing and signed by Quodel.
Removal of sites
If a site which is brought to our attention is deemed by Quodel to be offensive, then the link to it will be removed from our Website or database at the earliest practicable time.
