Terms of Service

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of https://quorsio.com/ (the "Site") and any services provided by Quorsio Technologies LLC (File #2026-002102167), a limited liability company organized in Wyoming, United States ("Quorsio", "we", "us"). By using the Site, contacting us, or engaging our services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site or our services.

2. Our services

Quorsio publishes Two Tides Research and provides technical advisory, contract and unit-economics review, and related research services (the "Services") as described on our Advisory page. The specific scope, deliverables, schedule, and fees for any engagement are defined in a written proposal, statement of work, or order confirmation ("SOW") agreed between you and us. In case of conflict between these Terms and a signed SOW, the SOW prevails for that engagement.

The Services are offered both to businesses and to individual clients purchasing them for their own projects. Both are referred to as "you" in these Terms and are subject to the same terms, pricing, and payment conditions.

3. Quotes, orders, and payment

• All prices are quoted in US dollars (USD) and are exclusive of applicable taxes unless stated otherwise.
• Fixed-scope packages are payable by bank transfer against our invoice (payment terms: net 15 days) or, where offered, by card through Stripe's secure checkout. We do not receive or store your card details.
• Recurring retainers are billed monthly in advance and renew until cancelled.
• Invoices unpaid after the due date may pause active work until settled.

4. Client responsibilities

You agree to provide timely access to information, systems, and decision-makers reasonably required to perform the Services, and to review and approve deliverables within a reasonable time. Delays in feedback or access may shift agreed schedules.

5. Content and intellectual property

5.1 Our content. Everything published on the Site is the property of Quorsio Technologies LLC and is protected by copyright: the research pages, the data tables, the charts, the glossary entries, the company files, the interview extracts, and the text of Two Tides Research. It is published to be read, cited and argued with, not to be republished.

5.2 How to cite us. Short excerpts are welcome, provided you name Quorsio, keep the meaning intact, and link to the page the material came from. The preferred form is: Quorsio, "page title", month and year, plus the URL. Republishing a page in full, reproducing its tables or charts as your own, or publishing a full translation of a page all require our prior written permission. Write to hello@quorsio.com; permission for a translation of a free page is normally given.

5.3 What you send us. If you reply to an email, use the contact form, or otherwise send us comments, corrections or leads, you keep ownership of what you send and grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to quote it, edited for length and clarity, with the attribution you ask for. If you would rather not be quoted, say so in the message and we will not quote you.

5.4 Advisory deliverables. Upon full payment, you own the deliverables created specifically for you under an SOW, such as written analysis, models and memos. We retain ownership of our pre-existing methods, frameworks, templates, data and know-how, and grant you a perpetual, royalty-free licence to use them as embedded in those deliverables. We may describe an engagement in general terms (the sector and the question asked, not the client) unless you ask us in writing not to.

6. Paid subscriptions and redistribution

6.1 Who you are buying from. Paid subscriptions to Two Tides Research are sold and administered by Substack on our behalf. Payment is taken by Substack, your subscription is governed by Substack's terms as well as by these Terms, and our Refund Policy explains how cancellation and refunds work. Quorsio remains responsible for the content you receive.

6.2 What a subscription covers. A paid subscription gives you a personal, non-transferable licence to read the paid posts, and to use them within the organisation that pays for the seat. It does not give you the right to pass them on.

6.3 No redistribution. Paid posts may not be forwarded outside that organisation, posted in full or in substantial part to a group, channel, forum or file-sharing service, added to a shared internal database, used as training data, or used to produce a derivative publication or summary product, whether or not a fee is charged for it. Quoting a paragraph with attribution and a link is fine. If you need to circulate a post inside your organisation, ask us: we normally grant a licence for a defined number of readers.

7. Confidentiality

Each party will keep the other party's non-public information confidential and use it only for the engagement. This obligation survives termination for three (3) years.

8. Research, commentary and disclaimers

We warrant that the Services will be performed with professional skill and care. Except as expressly stated in a SOW, the Site, its content and the Services are provided "as is", and we disclaim all other warranties, express or implied, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

8.1 Not advice. Everything on the Site and in Two Tides Research is research and commentary on an industry. It is not investment, legal, accounting, tax or engineering advice, and it is not a recommendation to buy or sell any security, to enter any contract, or to commit any capital. We are not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer or research analyst in any jurisdiction. If you need advice on your own position, take it from someone licensed to give it.

8.2 Numbers are estimates. Figures are the best estimate available at the time of publication, built from public documents and from interviews. Where a figure rests on a single source or on our own modelling, the text says so, and it should be read as an estimate rather than a measurement. Capacities and prices move: a page that was right in November may be wrong by March. We correct errors in public rather than editing quietly, as set out in the editorial policy.

8.3 Interview material. Quotes and paraphrases attributed to interviewees are those individuals' personal views and do not represent the views of their employers or of any company mentioned. Interviews are edited for length and clarity, and to remove detail that would identify the speaker. We do not pay interviewees, and we accept no payment, affiliate commission or advisory role from any company covered on the Site or in the letter. Where a person is described by role rather than by name, the description is deliberately general: it is what we could verify, not the whole of what we know.

8.4 Third-party material. Company filings, transcripts, price lists, tender documents and press reports are quoted and summarised for criticism, comment and reporting, and rights in that material stay with its owners. If you own material that appears here and believe the use is not permitted, write to hello@quorsio.com with the URL. We will review it and remove or amend the material where that is warranted.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for lost profits or lost data. Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Services is limited to the fees you paid to us for the specific engagement giving rise to the claim in the six (6) months preceding the claim.

10. Termination

Either party may terminate an engagement for material breach that remains uncured 15 days after written notice, or as otherwise provided in the SOW. Sections 5 (Content and IP), 6 (Subscriptions), 7 (Confidentiality), 9 (Liability), and 11 (Governing law) survive termination. See also our Refund Policy.

11. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The parties will first attempt to resolve any dispute in good faith by negotiation, then pursue binding arbitration or the state or federal courts located in Wyoming.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version, with its "Last updated" date, is always available on this page. Material changes affecting active engagements will be communicated by email.
