These terms are a binding agreement between you and aiqbench (operated from Romania, reachable at the addresses below) governing your access to and use of the aiqbench website, applications, and related services (the “Service”). By creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Effective date: 20 August 2026

1. About aiqbench

aiqbench is an aggregation and learning platform for artificial-intelligence and quantum technology news. We collect publicly available headlines, RSS summaries, and — for a limited allowlist of open-license sources — full article bodies from third-party publishers, organize and categorize them, generate editorial insights and roundups, and offer learning modules and leaderboards. The Service is provided for general information and educational purposes only and is not professional, financial, legal, medical, or investment advice.

2. Acceptance and changes to these terms

By creating an account or using the Service you accept these terms. We may modify them from time to time; when we do, we will update the effective date above and, for material changes, provide notice by reasonable means. It is your responsibility to review the current terms, and your continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

3. Eligibility, registration, and account security

You must be at least 16 years old, or the age of digital consent in your country, to create an account. Child learning profiles are created and controlled by the adult account holder; a child never gets an account of their own.
You may register with an email and password or through a supported third-party sign-in provider (currently Google). You agree to provide accurate information and keep it current.
You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. We may suspend accounts we reasonably believe are compromised or fraudulent.

4. Licence to use the Service

Subject to these terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not:

Copy, resell, sublicense, frame, or mirror any part of the Service, or use it to build or train a competing product or dataset.
Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code, except where such restriction is prohibited by law.
Scrape, harvest, or bulk-download content except as expressly permitted, or place an unreasonable load on our infrastructure.
Circumvent access controls, rate limits, or security measures, or access the Service through automated means without our permission.

5. Our intellectual property and reservation of rights

The aiqbench name, logo, interface, design, original editorial content, and software are owned by aiqbench and protected by intellectual-property laws. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved. Aggregated third-party content remains the property of its respective owners and is used under applicable licences or law.

6. Your content and feedback

If you submit content to the Service (for example reactions, questions to Ask, or saved views), you retain your rights in it and grant aiqbench a worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, display, and use that content solely to operate and improve the Service. You are responsible for content you submit and warrant that it does not infringe the rights of others. If you send us suggestions or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, royalty-free right to use it without obligation to you.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to:

Violate any law, regulation, or the rights of others.
Upload or transmit malware, or attempt denial-of-service or intrusion attacks.
Harass, defraud, impersonate, or harm others, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.
Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service or its underlying systems.

We may remove content or suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

8. Third-party and aggregated content; accuracy

Headlines, summaries, article bodies, images, and links surfaced on aiqbench originate from third-party publishers and remain their property and responsibility. Aggregation does not imply endorsement, affiliation, or verification. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or availability of any aggregated content, and editorial insights are automatically generated and may contain errors. Any reliance you place on such content is at your own risk; always consult the original source. If you are a rights holder, see our DMCA / copyright takedown process; to request removal of personal data or content referencing you, see our data erasure page.

9. Links to third-party sites

The Service links to external websites we do not control. We are not responsible for their content, policies, or practices, and you access them at your own risk.

10. Fees

The Service is currently provided free of charge. We may introduce paid features in the future; if we do, the applicable pricing and payment terms will be presented to you before you incur any charge.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, aiqbench and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the Service. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including your mandatory statutory consumer rights.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless aiqbench and its operators from any claims, damages, or expenses arising out of your breach of these terms, your misuse of the Service, or your infringement of any third-party right, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

14. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these terms or where required by law. On termination, your right to use the Service ends; provisions that by their nature should survive (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will survive.

15. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of Romania and applicable European Union law, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, and the courts of Romania will have jurisdiction — without depriving you of the protection of mandatory consumer law or the right to bring proceedings in your country of residence. We encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve any dispute amicably. EU consumers may also use the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

16. General

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond its reasonable control. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and aiqbench regarding the Service.
