These Terms of Engagement govern the basis on which Qontra enters into preliminary contact and pre-contractual dialogue with institutions, agencies, and organisations that express interest in Qontra's systems, capabilities, or services. These terms apply from the moment of first contact and remain in effect until superseded by a formal agreement.
Qontra engages with governments, companies, and institutions worldwide — no matter their size — where mandate and accountability align with Qontra's operational scope. Qontra reserves the right to decline engagement with any party, at any stage, without obligation to provide a reason.
All preliminary engagement — including the fact of engagement, the subject matter of any discussions, and any materials shared — is treated as confidential by both parties. Nothing shared by Qontra during preliminary engagement may be disclosed to any third party without prior written consent.
Nothing in any preliminary engagement constitutes a licence, transfer, or assignment of any intellectual property owned by Qontra. All systems, concepts, architectures, and materials presented remain the exclusive property of Qontra.
Qontra enters preliminary engagement without obligation to proceed to any formal arrangement. The existence of a dialogue, however extensive, does not create any legal obligation, representation, or warranty. Either party may withdraw at any time without liability.
Any institution making contact with Qontra represents that it has the authority to do so, that the contact is made in good faith, and that the information provided is accurate. Qontra reserves the right to verify the identity and standing of any party seeking engagement.
Any formal arrangement, including its governing law, will be agreed in writing before engagement begins.
Qontra reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time. The version published at the time of first contact shall apply to that engagement unless both parties agree otherwise in writing.
