Terms of use
Last updated: 9 November 2026
These terms of use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of designquantum.com and its language versions (together, the “Site”). The Site is an independent publication about quantum technology. By using the Site, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy policy and Cookie policy.
Who publishes DesignQuantum™
DesignQuantum™ is an independent publication about quantum technology. For questions about these Terms or the Site, write to hi@designquantum.com. More detail is on our Contact and About pages.
What the Site provides
The Site publishes news reports, longer guides, and a directory of quantum companies and investors. We also offer an optional free newsletter. The Site is provided for general information. It is not investment advice, legal advice, engineering advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell any security, product or service.
Accuracy and sources
We aim to report facts that we have read in a public source, and we list those sources on each article and profile. Company claims are attributed to the companies that make them. When a source does not state something — for example a founding year or a headquarters — we leave the field out rather than guess. The directory is not a complete census of the industry and can become out of date. If you see an error, follow the corrections process on the About page.
Intellectual property
Unless we say otherwise, text and original graphics on the Site are copyright © 2026 DesignQuantum™. You may quote short excerpts with attribution and a link to the original page. You may not copy the Site as a whole, republish our articles as your own, or use our content to train a commercial model in a way that substitutes for the original, without permission. Names, logos and trademarks of other companies mentioned on the Site belong to their owners.
Acceptable use
You agree not to misuse the Site. That includes attempting to disrupt it, overload it, bypass security or rate limits, scrape it in a way that harms other readers, or submit malware or deceptive information through any form we provide (today, that is the newsletter signup).
Newsletter
If you subscribe, you agree that we may email you at the address you give us, at the frequency and in the language you choose, until you unsubscribe. Subscription is confirmed only after you click the link in our confirmation email. Every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link. How we handle subscriber data is described in the Privacy policy.
Advertising and sponsorship
The Site may display clearly labeled advertising or sponsorship. Sponsors do not get editorial control or prior review of our coverage. See the Advertise page. We do not currently run third-party advertising networks such as Google AdSense. If that changes, we will update the Privacy policy and Cookie policy first.
Third-party links
Articles and profiles link to many external sites so you can check our sources. We do not control those sites and we are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
Disclaimer and limitation of liability
The Site is provided “as is.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits or data, arising from your use of the Site. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
Changes
We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change when we do. Continued use of the Site after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
