Welcome to Quarterly Analytics’ Terms of Use.
These are the terms and data policies that apply whether you are the subscription owner or a regular user of the service. We have made every effort to avoid overly complicated legal language, but if there is anything you are unsure about, please do not hesitate to email us at qa@quarterlyanalytics.dk or give us a call.
1.0 User Access and Login Credentials Are Personal
Your user access – i.e. your login to the research portal – is personal and linked to a specific name and email address. Neither the subscription owner nor any individual user associated with the subscription may share their login credentials with colleagues, suppliers or anyone else.
We fully understand that several people in your organisation may wish to access the research, so please contact us instead and we will be happy to offer you an attractive multi-user subscription.
1.1 User Access Can Be Transferred and Managed by the Subscription Owner
User access under the subscription can be transferred internally within the organisation associated with the subscription. The subscription owner is responsible for managing user access and can delete, pause or make other changes to user accounts. This is done through the subscription owner’s self-service page, “My Quarterly”.
1.2 User Access Cannot Be Transferred to a New Organisation
User access belongs to the organisation that purchased the subscription. If you move to another organisation or otherwise leave the organisation, your right to use your access ends.
2.0 The Information Belongs to Us
Quarterly Analytics provides you and our other subscribers with unique data and insights. This information is a core part of the service you pay for.
That is why all material on the website and in the printed edition of Quarterly Analytics is protected by copyright. You may not share, reproduce, distribute or otherwise replicate our material with suppliers, customers or other external parties without our explicit written permission. This applies to research, pricing data, indices, tools and all other material that requires a subscription to access.
2.1 You May Share Individual Pieces of Downloaded Research Internally Within Your Organisation
Quarterly Analytics research covers a broad range of topics – from strategy and financial management to legal and operational matters. If you occasionally come across a research article that you think a colleague in another department would benefit from reading, feel free to download it and share it with them.
We want our research to create value and be actively used across your organisation, and we consider this fair use.
2.2 You May Not Download the Entire Research Library
There is a download limit of 10 research articles per user per day. This limits the possibility of downloading our entire research library within a short period of time, as we do not consider this fair use. You will automatically be notified if you reach the limit.
If you are working on a specific project that requires an unusually high amount of research and need the download restriction to be temporarily lifted, please do not hesitate to contact us at qa@quarterlyanalytics.dk.
2.3 Use of QA Price Indices for Contract Price Adjustments
Our pricing data and indices are key intellectual property and, as described in Section 2, may not be shared with external parties. If Quarterly Analytics price indices are used as a price adjustment mechanism in a contract, both parties – the customer and the supplier – must therefore be Quarterly Analytics subscribers for the duration of the agreement.
Please remember to check whether the other party is a subscriber before including the Quarterly Analytics price indices in the agreement.
Alternatively, individual price indices can be licensed for use in a specific agreement if one of the parties does not wish to take out a subscription. Please contact us at qa@quarterlyanalytics.dk to learn more about licensing options.
You can view the pricing for customer and supplier subscriptions here.
If you are unsure about how you may use Quarterly Analytics’ information, please give us a call or email your questions to qa@quarterlyanalytics.dk.
3.0 Your Subscription Is Ongoing
When you subscribe to Quarterly Analytics, your subscription runs for one year at a time and renews automatically. The subscription continues until you cancel it (see Section 3.2).
3.1 Subscription Period
The subscription automatically renews on the first day of the month in which the subscription was originally taken out. The subscription owner can always view the renewal date under the “My Quarterly” section of the portal.
3.2 Cancellation
If you wish to cancel your subscription, the subscription owner can do so under “My Quarterly”. The cancellation must be submitted no later than the last business day before the new subscription period begins. You can always see who the subscription owner is under “My Quarterly”. If the subscription owner has left your organisation, you can contact us at qa@quarterlyanalytics.dk.
3.3 Use of QA Material During the Cancellation Period
We will only close your user access to the portal when your subscription expires. Until then, you can continue to use our research, pricing data and tools, change users, participate in networking events and benefit from course discounts, etc.
However, a stricter download limit applies to research during this period. You can read more about this in our cancellation guide, which you can find here.
3.4 Use of QA Material After the Cancellation Period
Once your subscription has ended, your organisation and all associated users will no longer have the right to use digital materials downloaded from Quarterly Analytics. This includes pricing data, indices, tools and other research materials.
You may, however, continue to use any printed reports.
4. If There Is an Error in the Research
Our aim is always to provide accurate and reliable information. Should an error nevertheless occur in a Quarterly Analytics publication, we will contact you by email as soon as we become aware of the issue and provide you with updated material.
Our liability for both direct and indirect losses is limited to the annual subscription fee.
5. Fair Use and Misuse
Quarterly Analytics is a small Danish company, and we consider the vast majority of use of the Quarterly Analytics service to be fair use. We want our research to be actively used within your organisation, and the last thing we want is to stand in the way of you getting value from the service.
That said, we reserve the right to suspend access to research for an individual user and/or account if we identify usage patterns that exceed fair use of the service. This applies in particular to attempts to “empty” the research library, as well as unauthorised distribution or manipulation of our research.
For us, this is very much a last resort, and we will always contact you to discuss the situation before taking any such action.
6. Communication
As a user of Quarterly Analytics, you will receive two types of communication from Quarterly Analytics:
Service emails from our core mailing list:
- Quarterly Emails About New Research
- Introductory Emails as Part of Your Onboarding to the Service

This could, for example, be an email notifying you that your subscription owner has paused your user access, that your subscription has been terminated and your user access is due to be closed, that the subscription owner role has been transferred to you, or that we have updated our Terms of Use.
As a user of the service, you cannot unsubscribe from these emails.
