Acceptable Use & Intellectual Property

Quantar's analysis, methods and software are the product of a great deal of original work. This page says what you may and may not do with them.

1. What Quantar owns

Quantar and its licensors own the software, source code, the market-intelligence methodology, models, scoring, rankings, research, written analysis, charts and visualisations, documentation, the Quantar name and logo, and the selection and arrangement of content. They are protected by copyright, database rights, trade marks and the law of confidential information.

Quantar does not claim ownership of exchange market data, third-party content, open-source components (used under their own licences) or content you post.

2. Your content

You keep ownership of what you post (journal notes, Desk messages, reviews, your profile picture). You give Quantar a licence to host and display it to provide the service: Desk posts to the people you post to, and approved reviews on Quantar's public pages.

3. You must not

• copy, scrape, crawl, bulk-download or systematically extract Quantar's analysis, alerts, scores or data, or use them to build or train a competing product or model;
• resell, republish or redistribute Quantar content, including in paid groups or signal channels (sharing an individual card through Quantar's share feature for personal discussion is allowed);
• reverse engineer, decompile or try to derive Quantar's methodology or source code, except where the law allows it despite this restriction;
• share your login, or let others use your account or subscription;
• get around access controls, rate limits, the demo restrictions or security, or probe or attack the service;
• upload malware, spam, or unlawful, abusive, misleading or infringing content, or impersonate anyone;
• use Quantar to break the law, including market abuse or manipulation.

4. What happens if you do

We may remove content, limit or suspend access, close the account, and take legal action where appropriate.

5. Reporting

Report abuse, infringement or security issues with the Desk report button or through Contact & Complaints.
