Terms of service

1. Scope

These terms apply to the use of quebi cloud, a service of quebi GmbH, Geitau 22, 83735 Bayrischzell, Germany (“we”; see the imprint). They form the contract between us and you as the account holder. Terms of your own do not apply, even if we do not object to them.

2. Preview

quebi cloud is a preview. It is not a finished product: we are still building it, and we make it available so that you can try it. Because of that, features may change, stop working or be removed at any time, and stored content may be lost. We give no promise of availability, of performance or that your content will be kept. Signing in and downloading what you have stored stay available until the contract ends. We may end the preview; if we do, we tell you at least 14 days beforehand at the email address of your account.

Do not use quebi cloud as the only place for anything you need. Keep your own current copies of everything you store here, and do not rely on it for anything whose failure would cause you harm. Using it is your decision and, within the limits of section 7, at your own risk.

The preview is free of charge. Section 5 applies only if and when we offer paid storage and you set it up; until then nothing is charged.

3. The service

quebi cloud lets you store, organise, edit and share files, photos, documents and the other content its apps hold. The features are those available in the product at the time; for changes during the preview, section 2 applies.

We run the service with care but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. Maintenance, faults and circumstances outside our control can make it temporarily unavailable. Keep your own copies of anything you cannot afford to lose.

4. Your account

You must be at least 16 years old, or have the consent of a parent or guardian, to create an account. The information you give us must be accurate. Keep your password and second factors secret; you are responsible for what happens in your account unless you could not have prevented it. Tell us at once if you suspect misuse.

Organisations. An account can create an organisation or be invited into one. The organisation is our customer for everything held in it — its shared drives and each member's space in it — and it decides who may see and change that content, including removing a member and handing their space to someone else. Whoever creates an organisation confirms they may bind the entity it names. Your own account, and what you keep in it, stay yours: an organisation cannot see them, and leaving or being removed from one does not touch them.

5. Price and payment

Using quebi cloud up to the free storage stated on the pricing page costs nothing. Beyond it, you pay for storage at the prices on that page, which form part of these terms. A month is charged on the highest amount stored in it during that month, and never on more than the storage limit set on the account. Prices are in euros and exclude VAT unless stated. Nothing is charged until you have set up billing and agreed to pay.

On the first day of each month we issue an invoice for the previous month, as an electronic invoice, sent to the email address of the account and available in the account. It is payable by bank transfer to the account named on it within five working days of its date. If an invoice is not paid in full by then, access to the apps and to the content is suspended until the open amount is paid; signing in, the invoices and these pages remain reachable. Suspension does not end the contract, and storage held during it is still charged. We may charge statutory default interest.

If you are a consumer, you may withdraw from a paid contract within 14 days of concluding it, by a clear statement to us. The service starts at your express request before that period ends; if you withdraw, you pay for the storage used until then and no more.

6. Your content

Your files remain yours. You grant us only the rights we need to provide the service: to store your content, process it technically (for example to make thumbnails or previews), and show it to you and to the people you share it with. We do not use your content for any other purpose.

You are responsible for what you store and share. You may not:

• store or share content that is illegal or infringes the rights of others;
• distribute malware or use the service to attack or spam anyone;
• interfere with the service, circumvent its limits or security, or access other people's data;
• resell access to the service to third parties.

If we become aware of illegal content, or of a breach of these rules, we may remove the content, disable share links or suspend the account, taking your legitimate interests into account. We will tell you why, unless the law prevents it. Our point of contact under the Digital Services Act, for authorities and for you, is hi@quebi.de or the contact form, in German or English, as the imprint says; illegal content can be reported there, and on a published site through the “Report this page” link on each of its pages. If you store other people's personal data, our data processing agreement applies.

7. Liability

We are liable without limitation for damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act and where we have given a guarantee.

Subject to the previous paragraph, for slight negligence we are liable only for breach of an obligation whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on which you may regularly rely (a cardinal obligation), and then only for the damage typical and foreseeable for this kind of contract. While you use the service free of charge — which is the whole of the preview — we are not liable for slight negligence at all. Otherwise our liability is excluded.

Where we are liable for the loss of content, our liability is — except in the cases of the first paragraph — limited to the typical cost of restoring it that would have arisen had you kept the copies section 2 asks for. We give no guarantees: nothing we say about the preview — on this site, in the product or in these terms — is a guarantee of a quality unless we expressly call it one.

8. Term and termination

The contract runs for an indefinite period. You can end it at any time by deleting your account in Settings. We can end it with 30 days' notice to the email address of your account, and without notice for good cause, in particular a serious breach of section 6. When the preview ends, the contract ends with it, with the notice section 2 provides. When the contract ends, your data is deleted as described in the privacy policy, so download what you want to keep first.

9. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms for good reason, such as a change in the law or in the service. We will tell you about a change at least 30 days before it takes effect. If you do not agree, you can delete your account before then.

10. Law and disputes

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, this does not take away the protection of the mandatory law of the country where you live. If you are a merchant, the courts at our registered office have exclusive jurisdiction. We are neither willing nor obliged to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

These terms are written in German and English. Only the German version is binding; the English one is a translation for your information.

If a provision of these terms is invalid, the rest remain in force.
