Quidex by Ontiqo

End User Licence Agreement

Version 0.5 · Effective 14 October 2026 · Shown and accepted inside the program

This is the agreement accepted inside the program, published in full so it can be read before installing. It is the same text, from the same source.

1. Agreement

This End User Licence Agreement is between you (either an individual or a single legal entity) and Ontiqo Pty Ltd (ACN 701 340 418), a company incorporated in Australia ("the Licensor"), which publishes Quidex, formerly named Ontiqo File Organiser ("the Software"). By installing, copying, or using the Software you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software.

2. Licence grant

The Licensor grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use this version of the Software under the licence terms in force when you obtain it. Where a licence key or a purchase is required, you may use the Software only as stated at the point of download or purchase, including any limit on the number of computers it covers.

These terms cover this version, and say nothing about the next one. A later version of the Software may be offered on different terms, including a different price or a charge to holders of an earlier licence. Nothing in this Agreement entitles you to a later version, obliges the Licensor to publish one, or fixes the price of anything beyond what you have already acquired. Equally, nothing here takes away what you already hold: the version you have remains usable under the terms you accepted for it, for as long as you care to run it.

Where a licence covers a stated number of computers, it is not concurrent: the computers it covers are the computers it has been activated on. A covered computer may be replaced where it is permanently retired.

Activation, and what it does not do. A licence key, where one is required, is activated on each computer it covers. Activation sends the licence key and a machine identifier to the Licensor's licensing service, and requires an internet connection once. The Software rechecks the licence from time to time afterwards, and keeps working throughout any period in which it cannot reach the licensing service. No file content, and no information about your files, is sent at activation or at any recheck.

3. What you may and may not do

You may make copies of the Software for backup purposes, and you may move your installation between machines you control, subject to clause 2.

You may not sell, rent, lease, sublicense, host, mirror, bundle or otherwise distribute the Software or its installer to a third party; remove or alter any copyright, trade mark or licence notice within it; reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it, except so far as applicable law expressly permits despite this limitation; or use it to process material you do not have the right to access.

4. Your files, and where they go

The Software reads the files and locations you point it at. It runs locally: file contents are processed on your own computer and are not transmitted to the Licensor. Where you connect an online account, the Software communicates directly with that provider using credentials you supply through the provider's own sign-in and under that provider's terms; the Licensor neither receives nor stores your password.

Your files remain yours. The Licensor claims no ownership of, and no licence to, any material you process with the Software.

Optional features may make outbound requests to third-party services. These are described during setup, are off unless you turn them on, and can be declined without affecting the rest of the Software.

5. Reorganisation, and undoing it

The Software can propose changes to how your files are arranged, and can carry them out only on your explicit instruction. Every such change is recorded so that it can be reversed, including after the Software has been removed.

You remain responsible for your own backups. The undo record is a convenience, not a backup, and it cannot protect against hardware failure, loss at a service provider, or changes made by other software.

6. No warranty

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT. THE LICENSOR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ITS ANALYSIS, GROUPING OR SUGGESTIONS WILL BE ACCURATE OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

7. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LICENSOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE OR BUSINESS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

8. Your consumer rights are not affected

Nothing in this Agreement excludes, restricts or modifies any guarantee, right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law, or under any other law, that cannot lawfully be excluded. Where such a guarantee applies and the Licensor is entitled to limit its liability for a breach of it, that liability is limited, at the Licensor's option, to replacing the Software or supplying it again, or to paying the cost of doing so.

9. Third-party components

The Software includes third-party components, each under its own licence. Those licences are listed within the Software, on its licences page, and continue to govern those components; nothing in this Agreement limits any right you have under them.

10. Term and termination

This licence continues until terminated. It terminates automatically if you breach it. On termination you must stop using the Software and remove it. Your files, and any record needed to reverse changes already made, remain yours and are unaffected.

11. General

This Agreement is governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. If any provision is held unenforceable the remainder continues in force. This Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties concerning the Software.
