(Last Modified On March 10, 2022)

Introduction, Definitions and Acceptance

Welcome to the QuickSeries application. We hope you enjoy your use of our Services. These Terms of Use (the “TOU”) are a LEGAL AGREEMENT between you and QuickSeries setting forth, among other things, the terms and conditions of (i) your use of the Application (including any Application updates and upgrades that QuickSeries or Clients may provide to you or make available to you, or that you obtain after the date you obtain your initial copy of the Application, to the extent that such items are not accompanied by separate terms of use) and (ii) your use of the Services. Please refer to the following definitions for clarification:

  • “Application” refers to any application for iOS and Android developed by QuickSeries for Clients. Application also includes any Application updates and upgrades that QuickSeries or any of their Clients may provide to you or make available to you, or that you obtain after the date you obtain your initial copy of the Application, to the extent that separate terms of use do not accompany such items.
  • “Client” refers to clients of QuickSeries who have tasked QuickSeries with developing a mobile application.
  • “Device” refers to the handheld or tablet device onto which you downloaded the Application and are using the Services.
  • “eGuides” refers to the packaged content drawn from a variety of sources, including content we have created and own the rights to and content for which we have obtained licenses for use in the Services and eGuides.
  • “QuickSeries” refers to QuickSeries Publishing Inc., a duly incorporated company in the State of Florida, its affiliates and subsidiaries. Any reference to “we”, “our”, or “us” in this Policy refers to QuickSeries. In these TOU, a Services user may be referred to as “you” or “your”.
  • “Representatives” refers to all QuickSeries’ shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, partners, principals, representatives, successors and assigns.  
  • “Services” are the software services that QuickSeries has developed to allow you to access eGuides, as more fully defined herein. The Services are generally available through the Application. For greater certainty, the Services include the eGuides as well as the various modules that may be integrated in the Application adding functionality thereto.

Additional definitions may be made throughout these TOU, but they will be recognizable as they will be capitalized, bolded, and in quotation marks. Additional definitions may also be found in the Privacy Policy, which is made a part hereof and incorporated herein by this reference, and will have the same meaning in these TOU as they do there. The definitions found in these TOU shall also apply to the Privacy Policy.

By downloading, using or accessing the Application on your Device, you hereby accept and agree to be bound by these TOU, including the Privacy Policy, without any reservations, modifications, additions or deletions. If you do not agree to all the provisions contained in these TOU, including the Privacy Policy, you are not authorized to use the Application, Services or eGuides. If you have downloaded the Application and do not agree to all the provisions of these TOU, including the Privacy Policy, you must delete the Application from your Device. These TOU are a legal and binding agreement between you and us.

These TOU may also be referred to as, and are equivalent to, an “End User License Agreement” or “EULA”.

QuickSeries reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to modify or replace any of these TOU. Any changes to these TOU can be found at this URL. It is your responsibility to check these TOU periodically for changes. Your use of the Application or eGuides following the posting of any changes to these TOU constitutes acceptance of those changes. If there are any significant changes to these TOU that, in our sole opinion, materially affect your relationship with us, you will be notified upon opening the Application.

These TOU should be read in conjunction with the Privacy Policy, as both these documents govern your use of the Application.
