Terms of service
These terms apply to the QNews API.
Who we are
QNews is a product of QuantoSei. Contact: qnews@quantosei.com.
What we sell
QNews API subscriptions. Access to the QNews news API under a plan:
| Plan | Price | Requests/month | Full-text extractions/month | Rate limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Publisher | $9/month or $90/year | 3,000 | 300 | 30/min |
| Starter | $29/month or $290/year | 25,000 | None | 60/min |
| Pro | $79/month or $790/year | 100,000 | 5,000 | 180/min |
| Business | $199/month or $1,990/year | 350,000 | 25,000 | 600/min |
Prices are in US dollars.
Payments
Payments are processed by Polar (polar.sh), our merchant of record: Polar sells the subscription to you, charges your payment method, adds any sales tax or VAT, and sends your receipt and invoice. Subscriptions started earlier through PayPal continue to be billed by PayPal.
Subscriptions, renewal and cancellation
- QNews subscriptions are billed monthly or yearly. They renew automatically until you cancel.
- Cancel any time from Manage billing on your dashboard. You are not charged again, and access continues until the end of the period you paid for. A PayPal subscription cancelled from the dashboard ends at once.
- If a renewal payment fails, the payment provider retries it. QNews API access continues for 7 days after the end of the paid period and then pauses until the payment succeeds.
Refunds
See the refund policy: 14 days for QNews payments.
Free QNews trial
EditorLoop's setup wizard can start a free 14-day QNews Publisher trial, without a card. One trial per email address and one per site, ever. The email must be verified within 72 hours or API access stops. The trial ends by itself; nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
Your QNews account and API keys
- Keep your API keys secret and use them from your server, not in browser code. You are responsible for requests made with your keys; revoke a key on your dashboard if it is exposed.
- Each plan's monthly quotas and per-minute rate limits are enforced. We may disable accounts used for abuse, for example to get around these limits or the one-trial rule.
News content
QNews returns headlines, links and metadata from news sources and, on plans with full-text extraction, text extracted from publishers' pages. Extraction is best effort; some publishers block it. Publishers own their content: you are responsible for how you use it, including copyright and the publishers' terms.
Availability and liability
We work to keep QNews available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted service; a service level is offered only in custom Enterprise agreements. To the extent the law allows, the services are provided as they are, and our liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer under the law that applies to you.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms; the date at the top shows the current version. Questions: qnews@quantosei.com or the contact page.
