Terms of Service

Last updated: May 2026
The short version: DataQA is a pre-launch product. Use it in good faith, own your own data, and understand that things may change as we build. We're not liable for data loss — always keep your originals.

Acceptance of terms

By accessing DataQA's website or joining our waitlist, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use our service.

These terms apply to the current pre-launch phase of DataQA, including the waitlist, any beta access, and future paid plans.

What DataQA is

DataQA is a web-based data quality assurance tool that allows users to upload data files, identify quality issues, apply fixes, and export clean data. The service is currently in pre-launch / beta phase and is subject to change.

Your data

You own your data. Files you upload to DataQA are processed to perform quality checks and are not stored permanently on our servers beyond the active session.

We do not use your uploaded data to train models, sell to third parties, or access it for any purpose other than providing the service to you.

Important: Always retain a copy of your original files before using DataQA. While we take care with your data, we are not responsible for data loss resulting from use of the service.

Acceptable use

You agree not to use DataQA to:

We reserve the right to suspend access for any user who violates these terms.

Service availability

DataQA is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis during the pre-launch and beta phases. We make no guarantee of uptime, availability, or uninterrupted service.

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service at any time without notice. We will make reasonable efforts to communicate significant changes to waitlist members by email.

Pricing and billing

DataQA is currently free during the pre-launch waitlist phase. When paid plans are introduced, pricing and billing terms will be communicated clearly before any charge is made. You will never be charged without explicit consent.

Waitlist members who join before launch will receive the founder pricing they were promised at sign-up.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, DataQA and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service, including but not limited to data loss, business interruption, or loss of profits.

Our total liability to you for any claim shall not exceed the amount you have paid us in the 3 months prior to the claim.

Intellectual property

The DataQA name, logo, interface, and underlying technology are the intellectual property of DataQA's operators. You may not reproduce, copy, or redistribute any part of the service without written permission.

Your data and any custom rules or templates you create within the app remain entirely yours.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Any disputes shall be resolved in South African courts.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the product evolves. We will post the updated date at the top of this page. Continued use of DataQA after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
