Legal Notice

This Legal Notice identifies the operator of Q•NAQ and provides regulatory and rights-reporting contact information. It should be read with the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and Payment & Billing Policy.

1. Platform operator

Legal name: NAQ Systems Limited

Trading name: Q•NAQ

Legal form: Private company limited by shares, incorporated in Ireland

Company number: 812051

Registered office: 18 Mallow Street Upper, Limerick, V94 N12Y, Ireland

Website: qnaq.com

General legal contact: legal@qnaq.pro

The label “English (US)” identifies the language and drafting convention of this version; it does not limit the Platform’s countries of operation.

2. Nature of the service

Q•NAQ operates a technology platform for publishing and discovering Job Listings and Candidate Profiles, accessing related paid digital features, communicating, and using assistive tools. An Employer on the Platform must be a legal entity of any legal or organizational form duly formed or registered under applicable law, or a natural person lawfully registered or formally recognized as a sole trader, sole proprietor, private or individual entrepreneur, or equivalent. An unregistered natural person and an organization that is neither a legal entity nor a lawfully registered business are not eligible for Employer status. A Candidate must be a natural person and the Candidate Profile must concern that person. Authorized personnel may administer an Employer Account on the Employer’s behalf.

Once activated and while active, Job Listings and Candidate Profiles are intended to be viewable through the ordinary Platform interface by every authenticated registered user, without any Employer-versus-Candidate role restriction, subject only to Account status, moderation, technical availability, geographic restrictions, and law. Restricted contact fields, private messages, application materials, billing data, and verification data are not part of that general visibility. Access without an Account or external indexing occurs only if Q•NAQ actually enables and discloses it.

Unless Q•NAQ expressly agrees otherwise in a separate signed contract, Q•NAQ is not an employer, candidate, staffing agency, employment agency, recruiter, labor broker, background-screening company, immigration adviser, or party to an employment or other agreement between users.

Q•NAQ does not guarantee applications, responses, interviews, employment, hires, candidate suitability, role availability, traffic, ranking, visibility, revenue, or any other result. Users are responsible for User Content, communications, due diligence, decisions, and compliance with applicable employment, privacy, advertising, and professional rules. Q•NAQ remains responsible for legal duties imposed directly on it.

The standard paid-service catalogue may include Job Listing and Candidate Profile activation, Publication Packages or listing credits, Points or platform credits, direct contact unlocks, Contact Credits, Premium, VIP, Highlight, Boost, and AI-assisted or other metered features. A Contact Request is distinct from a direct paid contact unlock. The exact product, quantity, duration or consumption event, eligibility, price, tax, and restriction displayed immediately before purchase control that order.

Job Listings and Candidate Profiles remain active for 30 days from successful activation, subject to user deletion, proportionate enforcement, technical availability, lawful orders, and mandatory law. Unused listing credits expire 90 days after purchase. Premium is a rotating top-placement enhancement, currently rotating at six-second intervals where displayed; VIP is priority placement in positions 2–4 where described; Highlight is a visual treatment; and Boost is a one-time movement or reintroduction to the fifth available position without a position lock or duration. Promotions do not extend the underlying 30-day active period.

3. User content and moderation

User Content is supplied by users and is not adopted or endorsed by Q•NAQ merely because it appears on the Platform. Q•NAQ may review, restrict, label, remove, or disable unlawful or prohibited Content under the Terms of Service and applicable law.

A report should identify the specific Content or Account, its exact electronic location, and the facts explaining why it is unlawful or prohibited, and should include the reporter’s name and email address except where applicable law permits anonymous reporting. A reporter is not required to cite a specific statute or provide an elaborate legal analysis. Reports may be submitted through any reporting mechanism made available on the Platform or to legal@qnaq.pro.

Knowingly false, malicious, or abusive reports are prohibited. A good-faith mistake or lawful complaint is not abuse.

4. Digital Services Act contact points

The following provisions apply where Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (the Digital Services Act or DSA) applies to Q•NAQ.

4.1 Authorities — Article 11

Member State authorities, the European Commission, and the European Board for Digital Services may contact Q•NAQ through the point of contact below.

Email: legal@qnaq.pro

Communication language: English

This channel is monitored by personnel and is not limited to automated tools.

4.2 Recipients of the service — Article 12

Recipients of the service may contact Q•NAQ through the point of contact below.

Email: legal@qnaq.pro

Communication language: English

Users may also use the Platform’s reporting and appeal tools where available.

4.3 Notices and reasons

Q•NAQ operates an electronic notice-and-action mechanism through which users can submit sufficiently precise and adequately substantiated notices of specific allegedly illegal Content. When a notice includes electronic contact information, Q•NAQ confirms receipt without undue delay, communicates its decision without undue delay, and provides information about available redress. Where DSA Article 17 applies, Q•NAQ also gives the affected recipient a clear and specific statement of reasons for a relevant restriction, including any material use of automated means.

If Q•NAQ is legally required to provide an internal complaint-handling system under DSA Article 20, eligible users will have electronic, free-of-charge access to that system for at least six months after the relevant decision is communicated. Q•NAQ does not represent that a provision from which a micro or small enterprise is legally exempt applies when it does not.

4.4 Serious criminal-offence referrals — Article 18

Where Q•NAQ becomes aware of information giving rise to a suspicion that a criminal offence involving a threat to a person’s life or safety has taken place, is taking place, or is likely to take place, Q•NAQ will promptly notify and provide the available relevant information required by DSA Article 18 to the competent law-enforcement or judicial authority. This obligation does not create a general monitoring duty and does not permit disclosure beyond applicable law.

5. Intellectual property notices

Q•NAQ’s software, design, databases, text, graphics, logos, marks, and other Q•NAQ Content are owned by or licensed to NAQ Systems Limited. No license is granted except the limited Platform-use right in the Terms of Service.

An intellectual-property notice should include the information described below.

1. The notice must identify the protected work or right.
2. The notice must identify the challenged material and its exact location.
3. The notice must provide the complainant's name and contact details.
4. The notice must include a good-faith statement explaining the claim.
5. The notice must state that the information is accurate and that the sender is authorized to submit the notice.
6. The notice must include a physical or electronic signature.

Send notices to legal@qnaq.pro. Q•NAQ may forward the notice to the affected user and may request a compliant counter-notice.

For a United States DMCA notice, the then-current designated-agent details in the U.S. Copyright Office directory and on the Platform control. This Legal Notice does not state that a DMCA designation exists unless Q•NAQ has actually completed and maintained it.

6. Payments and seller identity

NAQ Systems Limited is the seller of its own Q•NAQ Platform services unless checkout expressly identifies another seller of record. Payments may be technically processed by Stripe or another disclosed payment provider. The selected service, duration or consumption event, price, currency, taxes, and total are displayed before the order.

Paid Features are generally one-time purchases paid in full before activation and do not auto-renew unless checkout expressly states otherwise. Refunds, withdrawal, package expiration, and payment disputes are governed by the Payment & Billing Policy and mandatory law.

The core publication service begins immediately when activation is successfully applied. A one-time Boost or successful contact unlock is fully supplied and consumed when the promised event is applied and recorded. A 30-day Publication or time-limited Premium, VIP, or Highlight feature includes continuing availability for its stated period; mandatory withdrawal, conformity, consumer-guarantee, and refund rules remain effective to the extent they cannot lawfully be excluded.

For an online consumer contract that remains subject to a statutory cancellation or withdrawal right, Q•NAQ will provide any online withdrawal function required by applicable law throughout the applicable withdrawal period. The Payment & Billing Policy explains the two-stage function, the optional consumer form, alternative notice by email, and the durable acknowledgment of an online submission.

7. Privacy and data protection

NAQ Systems Limited is generally the controller of personal data processed for its own Platform purposes. Privacy requests may be sent to legal@qnaq.pro. The Privacy Policy describes legal bases, recipients, international transfers, retention, automated processing, rights, and regional information.

Where a law requires a representative outside Ireland, Q•NAQ will publish the appointed representative’s identity and contact details before the covered processing. A general contact email does not substitute for a legally required appointment.

8. Lawful requests

Courts, regulators, law-enforcement bodies, and other competent authorities should send requests to legal@qnaq.pro and identify the requesting authority, legal basis, jurisdiction, specific data or action requested, relevant Account or Content, deadline, and authorized contact.

Q•NAQ reviews requests for authenticity, authority, scope, necessity, and proportionality and may request clarification, narrow an overbroad request, or challenge an invalid request. Emergency requests should clearly identify the imminent risk and legal authority. Formal service of proceedings must follow applicable procedural law unless Q•NAQ expressly agrees otherwise.

9. Accessibility and languages

Q•NAQ seeks to make legal information accessible. Questions about an accessible format may be sent to legal@qnaq.pro. Translations may be provided for accessibility and local compliance. The controlling language and mandatory local interpretation rules are stated in the Terms of Service.

English (US) is the drafting language of this global version, not a representation that English alone satisfies every market. Before targeted consumer launch, Q•NAQ will provide Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Polish, Turkish, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, or another locally required translation, summary, seller disclosure, withdrawal form, or grievance notice. A machine translation will not be treated as authoritative where law requires an accurate local-language disclosure.

10. Third-party links

The Platform may link to independent websites or services. A link does not imply endorsement. The third party is responsible for its own content, security, products, terms, and privacy practices. Q•NAQ remains responsible for integrations and service providers only to the extent applicable law imposes that responsibility.

11. Changes

Q•NAQ may update this Legal Notice to reflect company, service, contact, provider, or legal changes. The revised effective date will be displayed. A change to this informational notice does not retroactively change an accepted order or remove a mandatory right.

12. Country-specific supplements

Q•NAQ may publish a country-specific supplement where mandatory local law requires additional operator, seller, tax, consumer, privacy, grievance, representative, registration, language, or regulatory information. A published supplement forms part of this Legal Notice for users and activities within its stated scope.

Availability of the Platform in a country does not mean that every feature is offered there or that a local appointment, filing, registration, or targeted launch has occurred. Q•NAQ may restrict or delay a country or feature until the applicable operational requirements are completed. Mandatory local law applies according to its scope.
