Terms of Service
Last updated: March 2026
These terms govern your use of the QuoteNode software. By downloading, installing, or using QuoteNode, you agree to these terms.
Definitions
- “QuoteNode” — the self-hosted CRM and quoting software, including all components (backend, frontend, documentation, and container images).
- “You” / “Customer” — the individual or organization that deploys and operates a QuoteNode instance.
- “License” — the edition-specific license file that activates features in your QuoteNode instance.
- “Instance” — a single deployment of QuoteNode on your infrastructure.
License Grant
Freelancer Edition (Free)
QuoteNode Freelancer Edition is provided free of charge for unlimited use. It includes all core features with a limit of 3 user accounts and the “Powered by QuoteNode” badge on client-facing surfaces.
You may use the Freelancer Edition for any lawful commercial purpose without purchasing a license.
Paid Editions (Pro, Business, Enterprise)
Paid editions are activated by a cryptographically signed license file. Each license grants you the right to operate one QuoteNode instance with the features and user limits specified in the license.
Licenses are:
- Annual — a yearly fee that supports continued development and maintenance
- Non-transferable — bound to your organization
- Offline-verified — no external server communication required
Your Responsibilities
You are responsible for:
- Infrastructure — providing and maintaining the server, network, and Docker environment required to run QuoteNode
- Backups — configuring and verifying backup procedures for your data
- Security — securing your deployment (firewall, TLS configuration, access control, OS updates)
- Compliance — ensuring your use of QuoteNode complies with applicable laws (data protection, tax regulations, industry requirements)
- User management — managing user accounts, roles, and access within your instance
Data Ownership
You own all data in your QuoteNode instance. QuoteNode (the vendor) has no access to your instance, your database, or any data you process. We do not collect telemetry, usage analytics, or any other information from your deployment.
If you stop using QuoteNode, your data remains on your infrastructure. There is no vendor lock-in and no data export required — the database is standard PostgreSQL.
License Expiry
If a paid license expires:
- All features continue to work normally — no lockouts, no read-only mode, no disabled functionality
- A small reminder appears in the application UI encouraging renewal
- The “Powered by QuoteNode” badge appears on client-facing surfaces (public offer pages and PDFs)
- You can remove the badge and the reminder at any time by applying a renewed license
Skipping a renewal year is explicitly supported. Your instance keeps running exactly as before. The annual license exists to fund continued development — not to hold your data hostage.
The Freelancer Edition does not expire.
Limitations of Liability
QuoteNode is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the software will be error-free, uninterrupted, or suitable for any particular purpose.
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of QuoteNode
- Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for your license in the 12 months preceding the claim
- We are not responsible for data loss due to inadequate backup procedures, infrastructure failures, or misconfigurations on your side
Intellectual Property
QuoteNode software, documentation, and branding are proprietary. Your license grants usage rights, not ownership of the software.
You may not:
- Redistribute, sublicense, or resell QuoteNode
- Remove or modify license enforcement mechanisms
- Use QuoteNode trademarks without written permission
Support
- Freelancer Edition — community support only (documentation, FAQ)
- Pro Edition — priority email support
- Business Edition — priority email support with SLA
- Enterprise — dedicated technical account manager
Support scope, response times, and SLA details for paid editions will be published at launch.
Modifications
We may update these terms with new software releases. Material changes will be communicated in release notes. Continued use of QuoteNode after changes constitutes acceptance.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of Poland. Any disputes shall be resolved by the competent courts in Poland.
