Cqunce Inc. — Website Disclosures, Terms of Use & Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 31, 2026

1. Legal Disclaimer and Professional Scope

1.1 Purpose of Website Content

All content published on the Cqunce website, including articles, educational resources, legal-process information, publications, templates, forms, community discussions, and other materials, is provided for general informational, educational, and awareness purposes.

Website content is not a substitute for individualized legal advice, professional representation, or an assessment by a qualified professional of the facts and law applicable to a particular matter.

Accessing this website, submitting an inquiry, downloading a resource, participating in a discussion, or communicating with Cqunce does not, by itself, establish an attorney-client relationship, a mediation engagement, or a contractual professional engagement.

Information may become outdated or may not apply to a particular jurisdiction or circumstance. Users should independently verify relevant information before relying on it.

1.2 Organizational Status and Legal Services

Cqunce Inc. operates within the scope of services it is legally authorized to provide. Cqunce does not hold itself out as a law firm and does not offer attorney services or legal representation unless a particular service is lawfully authorized and expressly provided through an appropriately qualified and authorized professional.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in a separate written engagement with an appropriately authorized professional, Cqunce does not provide legal opinions, individualized legal advice, courtroom representation, or services that constitute the unauthorized practice of law.

A disclaimer does not authorize any activity that applicable law reserves for licensed attorneys, accredited representatives, qualified mediators, or other authorized professionals. All services remain subject to applicable licensing, professional-conduct, and jurisdictional requirements.

1.3 Dispute-Resolution and Pre-Litigation Support

Depending on the particular engagement, Cqunce may provide nonlegal consulting, educational, administrative, and conflict-management support within the scope permitted by applicable law.

Such support may include:

• General education concerning dispute-resolution procedures, negotiation concepts, and settlement processes.
• Factual record organization, chronology preparation, and administrative document management.
• General procedural awareness concerning complaints, demands, and potential disputes.
• Conflict-management education and communication support.
• Information about available dispute-resolution resources and options for locating qualified professionals.
• Administrative coordination and nonlegal documentation support for permitted business or organizational purposes.
• Educational support concerning the preparation for discussions or meetings relating to a potential dispute.

The precise services available will depend on the engagement, the relevant jurisdiction, the qualifications required, and the applicable written agreement.

Cqunce does not automatically undertake to interpret the law for a particular client, determine legal liability, assess enforceable legal rights, draft legal instruments requiring professional authorization, negotiate legal rights on another person's behalf, or represent a party in legal proceedings. Any such activity will be undertaken only where legally permitted and appropriately authorized.

A service's inclusion on this website does not establish that it is available in every jurisdiction or circumstance.

1.4 Consultant, Mediator, and Party-Side Roles

Cqunce's role will depend on the specific service and written engagement.

Consulting: Cqunce may provide permitted educational, administrative, factual-organizational, or conflict-management support.

Neutral facilitation: Where separately agreed and legally appropriate, Cqunce may facilitate communication between parties without deciding the dispute or imposing an outcome.

Party-side support: Where permitted, Cqunce may provide nonlegal administrative or organizational support to a party. Such an engagement does not automatically authorize legal advocacy or representation.

Regulated professional services: Services requiring an attorney, accredited representative, licensed professional, or other legally authorized person will be provided only through an appropriately authorized arrangement.

Cqunce will not describe itself as a neutral mediator in an engagement where it is acting in a party-side capacity. Where a neutral facilitation or mediation engagement is undertaken, its scope, fees, conflicts procedures, confidentiality terms, and applicable limitations should be established in a separate written agreement.

1.5 Immigration and Government-Related Matters

Cqunce does not independently provide immigration legal advice or immigration representation unless the organization and the person providing the service satisfy all applicable authorization requirements.

General educational information about immigration or government procedures does not replace advice from a qualified immigration attorney or an authorized representative where required.

Users should verify the qualifications and authorization of anyone offering immigration assistance. Cqunce will not undertake immigration services that require credentials or authorization it does not possess.

1.6 No Attorney-Client Relationship or Automatic Engagement

No attorney-client relationship is created through website use or ordinary communications with Cqunce.

A professional engagement, where offered, must be established through an appropriate written agreement identifying the contracting parties, scope of services, fees, responsibilities, and applicable terms.

Unless expressly included in a valid engagement, Cqunce has no obligation to represent a user, contact an opposing party, file a document, preserve a claim, monitor deadlines, or take other action on the user's behalf.

1.7 Confidentiality and Privilege

Communications with Cqunce are not protected by attorney-client privilege merely because they concern a legal issue or are marked confidential.

Confidentiality may arise from a written agreement, applicable law, or the nature of a properly established professional or mediation relationship. Its scope and exceptions depend on the circumstances and applicable legal requirements.

Where a service involves mediation or neutral dispute resolution, any applicable statutory confidentiality protections and exceptions remain controlling. Nothing in this policy is intended to waive, expand, or override legal protections or obligations.

Users should not submit passwords, complete financial account credentials, Social Security numbers, unnecessary medical records, immigration identification documents, or other sensitive information through ordinary website forms or email.

Information should be submitted only when necessary for an identified service and through an appropriate, authorized process.

1.8 Independent Legal Advice and User Responsibilities

Users should obtain advice from an attorney licensed in the relevant jurisdiction before making decisions that may materially affect their legal rights or obligations.

This is particularly important before signing a settlement agreement, responding to a legal demand, filing court documents, admitting liability, waiving rights, or taking action subject to a legal deadline.

Users remain responsible for the accuracy and completeness of information they provide, compliance with court orders, preservation of relevant records, and obtaining qualified professional assistance when necessary.

Cqunce does not automatically monitor legal deadlines or provide emergency legal assistance.

1.9 No Guarantee of Outcomes

Cqunce does not guarantee a settlement, financial recovery, resolution, favorable decision, agreement by another party, or any particular result.

Any examples, testimonials, project summaries, or reported experiences are provided for informational or illustrative purposes and should not be interpreted as a promise of comparable results.

Outcomes depend on the facts, evidence, applicable law, conduct of the parties, decision-makers, and other circumstances. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.

1.10 Third-Party Resources and Referrals

This website may link to government resources, professional directories, educational materials, independent service providers, and other third-party websites.

Cqunce does not control external websites or guarantee their accuracy, availability, security, qualifications, or practices. A listing or referral does not, by itself, establish an endorsement, partnership, agency relationship, or guarantee of service quality.

Users should independently verify credentials and review relevant terms and privacy policies before engaging third parties.

1.11 Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Cqunce disclaims responsibility for decisions made solely in reliance on general website content, third-party resources, or unverified community submissions without obtaining appropriate independent advice.

This provision does not exclude or limit liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, or any statutory rights that cannot be waived.

Services provided under a separate written engagement are governed by that agreement and applicable law. This website notice does not automatically waive claims arising from a separate engagement.

1.12 Community Content and Discussions

Comments, submissions, forum discussions, and user-generated content may reflect individual opinions or experiences rather than verified facts or the views of Cqunce.

Users must not treat community content as individualized professional advice or a verified determination of legal rights.

Cqunce may moderate or remove content in accordance with its applicable policies and legal obligations. Cqunce does not guarantee that discussions are anonymous or that information submitted through the website cannot be accessed, disclosed, or exposed.

1.13 Professional Advertising and Service Descriptions

Cqunce describes and markets only services it is legally permitted to provide. References to laws, legal procedures, disputes, settlement processes, or pre-litigation matters do not, by themselves, establish that Cqunce provides legal representation or attorney services.

All service descriptions, credentials, testimonials, affiliations, and claims of experience must be accurate and must comply with applicable advertising and professional-conduct requirements.

Nothing in this section overrides laws regulating the provision or advertising of professional services.

2. Intellectual Property Notice

Unless otherwise identified, the Cqunce name, logos, branding, original written materials, educational resources, graphics, and other original website content are owned by or appropriately licensed to the relevant rights holder.

Cqunce Inc. claims ownership only of intellectual property for which it holds the applicable rights. Third-party names, trademarks, logos, and materials remain the property of their respective owners.

Content may be protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Unless permitted by law or authorized by the relevant rights holder, users may not reproduce, redistribute, republish, modify, publicly display, or commercially exploit protected materials without permission.

Nothing in this notice restricts lawful fair use, applicable copyright exceptions, or rights that cannot legally be waived.

Website content is provided for general informational and educational purposes and does not constitute a legal opinion or determination of any person's rights.

3. Acceptable Use and Unsolicited Communications

Users may not use this website or its published contact information to distribute unlawful spam, fraudulent messages, deceptive solicitations, malicious content, or other communications prohibited by applicable law.

Users must not attempt unauthorized access, interfere with website security, introduce malicious code, impersonate others, submit fraudulent information, or misuse the website in violation of applicable law or the rights of others.

This section does not prohibit lawful communications or otherwise permitted uses of publicly available contact information.

4. Federal Tax Information and Nonprofit Status

4.1 Tax Information

Where Cqunce publishes U.S. federal tax information, that information is provided for general educational purposes and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified tax professional familiar with the relevant circumstances.

Users should independently verify tax obligations and consult an appropriately qualified professional before relying on information for a particular transaction or filing.

If Cqunce publishes written tax advice subject to a specific federal tax-disclaimer requirement, the applicable prescribed language will be included where required. This general notice does not replace any legally required tax disclosure.

4.2 Nonprofit and Tax-Exempt Status

Any statement concerning Cqunce Inc.'s nonprofit or federal tax-exempt status must accurately reflect its legal registration and current IRS records.

If Cqunce Inc. is recognized by the IRS as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3), that status may be described accordingly. Incorporation or nonprofit registration alone does not establish federal tax-exempt status.

Users should independently verify any claimed tax-exempt status before relying on it for donations, tax deductions, grants, or other purposes.

5. Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 29, 2026

5.1 Scope

This Privacy Policy describes how Cqunce Inc. ("Cqunce," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, stores, and protects personal information through this website and its associated online services.

Additional notices or agreements may apply to particular programs, registrations, events, surveys, donations, or services. Third-party websites and services operate under their own privacy policies.

5.2 Information We Collect

Depending on the website features used, Cqunce may collect the following categories of information:

Information provided directly

• Name, email address, and other contact information.
• Inquiries, registrations, survey responses, feedback, and communications.
• Program preferences and information voluntarily supplied when requesting services.

Technical and usage information

• IP address, browser and device details, timestamps, pages visited, referral information, and website usage statistics.
• Approximate location information derived from technical data, where collected.

Cookies and similar technologies

The website or its service providers may use cookies or similar technologies for functionality, security, preferences, analytics, or other disclosed purposes, depending on the services enabled.

Service-provider information

Cqunce may receive information processed through website hosting, contact forms, email platforms, analytics services, or other service providers used to operate the website.

The actual categories collected depend on the website configuration and services in use.

5.3 Children and Minors

The website is not intended to knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without the consent, authorization, and safeguards required by applicable law.

Where a Cqunce program involves minors, information will be handled in accordance with applicable legal requirements and the relevant program's registration, consent, and privacy procedures.

Parents or legal guardians who believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate authorization may contact Cqunce to request review and, where appropriate, deletion.

5.4 How We Use Information

Subject to applicable law, personal information may be used to:

• Respond to inquiries and provide requested information.
• Administer registrations, programs, events, and services.
• Send requested newsletters, program updates, and administrative notices.
• Maintain, troubleshoot, and improve website functionality.
• Protect website security and prevent fraud, abuse, or unauthorized access.
• Maintain organizational, accounting, and administrative records.
• Comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims where appropriate.

Where consent is required, Cqunce will obtain it before undertaking the relevant processing.

5.5 Legal Bases Where Required

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, personal information will be processed on an applicable lawful basis, which may include consent, contractual necessity, compliance with a legal obligation, or legitimate interests where legally available.

Where processing relies on consent, individuals may withdraw consent as permitted by law. Withdrawal does not invalidate processing lawfully conducted before withdrawal.

5.6 Disclosure of Information

Cqunce may disclose personal information, subject to applicable law, to:

• Service providers supporting website hosting, communications, administration, and technical operations.
• Authorized program partners where necessary for a specific activity and appropriately disclosed or authorized.
• Professional advisers, such as lawyers, accountants, and auditors, where reasonably necessary.
• Government authorities or other recipients where disclosure is required or otherwise permitted by law.
• Relevant parties in a lawful organizational restructuring or similar transaction, where applicable.

Appropriate contractual, confidentiality, and security safeguards will be used where required.

Cqunce does not sell or rent personal information for monetary consideration. However, certain disclosures or tracking activities may be treated as a "sale" or "sharing" under specific privacy laws even when no money changes hands. Any such activities must be accurately disclosed, and applicable opt-out rights must be honored.

5.7 Cookies, Analytics, and Tracking

Cookies and similar technologies may support website functionality, security, preferences, and analytics, depending on the technologies enabled.

Visitors can manage certain cookies through browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some website features.

Where applicable law requires consent for nonessential cookies or tracking technologies, appropriate consent mechanisms will be implemented.

The use of third-party analytics, advertising technologies, and browser-based privacy signals, including Global Privacy Control, depends on the actual website configuration and applicable legal requirements.

5.8 Data Retention and Deletion

Personal information will be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, subject to applicable legal, accounting, security, and recordkeeping obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the nature of the service, and applicable law.

When information is no longer required, Cqunce will take reasonable steps to delete, de-identify, or securely dispose of it, subject to legal exceptions and technical limitations.

A deletion request does not require the removal of information that may lawfully or must legally be retained.

5.9 Data Security

Cqunce uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, and disclosure.

No electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Cqunce cannot guarantee absolute security.

Where a data breach triggers a legal notification obligation, Cqunce will comply with the applicable requirements.

5.10 Privacy Rights

Depending on applicable law, an individual may have the right to:

• Request access to personal information.
• Request correction of inaccurate information.
• Request deletion of personal information.
• Request a portable copy of certain personal information.
• Obtain information about collection, use, and disclosure practices.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.
• Opt out of certain sales, sharing, or targeted advertising where legally applicable.
• Appeal a denied privacy request where the applicable law provides that right.

These rights vary by jurisdiction and may be subject to legal exceptions, verification requirements, and other limitations.

5.11 European Economic Area and United Kingdom

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, eligible individuals may exercise rights available under the relevant law, including rights relating to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, and withdrawal of consent.

Individuals may also lodge a complaint with the appropriate data protection supervisory authority.

Where required, Cqunce will provide additional information concerning applicable lawful bases, international-transfer safeguards, and relevant controller or representative details.

5.12 California Residents

California residents may have rights under applicable California privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, if Cqunce is subject to those laws.

Depending on applicability, rights may include access, correction, deletion, information about disclosures, and opting out of certain sales or sharing of personal information. Applicable laws may also prohibit discrimination for exercising privacy rights.

California's Shine the Light law may provide separate rights concerning certain disclosures of personal information to third parties for direct-marketing purposes.

The applicability of these laws depends on their respective requirements. This policy does not represent that every right applies to every visitor.

5.13 Submitting Privacy Requests

For privacy questions or requests, contact:

Email: cqnceinc@gmail.com

Please identify the request and provide sufficient information for Cqunce to understand and, where legally required, verify your identity or authority to act on another person's behalf.

Do not email passwords, complete financial account credentials, or unnecessary sensitive documents.

Cqunce will review and respond within the period required by applicable law. Where a request cannot be fulfilled, Cqunce may explain the applicable reason and any available appeal process.

5.14 International Data Transfers

Personal information may be processed or stored in the United States or other countries where Cqunce or its service providers operate.

Where applicable law restricts international transfers, Cqunce will use an appropriate transfer mechanism or safeguard as required by law.

Privacy protections may differ between countries.

5.15 Third-Party Platforms

This website may use external platforms for hosting, forms, newsletters, video, social media, analytics, payments, or other functions.

Those platforms may collect information directly or through technologies integrated into the website. Their independent practices are governed by their own terms and privacy notices.

Users should review relevant third-party notices when interacting with those services.

5.16 Changes to This Privacy Policy

Cqunce may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in its operations, website technologies, service providers, or applicable law.

The revised policy will be posted with an updated effective or revision date. Where legally required, Cqunce will provide additional notice or obtain consent before implementing changes.

Continued use of the website does not override any consent requirement or legal right.

6. Website Terms of Use

Use of this website is subject to applicable law and any additional terms presented for particular services or programs.

Users must not knowingly misuse the website, attempt unauthorized access, introduce malicious code, submit fraudulent information, infringe the rights of others, or engage in unlawful activity through the website.

Separate consulting agreements, mediation agreements, participation terms, consent forms, and service-specific policies may apply to particular engagements. Those documents should be reviewed and accepted where required before the relevant service begins.

Nothing in this section replaces a separately required agreement or overrides applicable law.

7. Independent Consultancy and Pre-Litigation Support Disclaimer

Cqunce Inc. operates independently and provides consultancy focused on dispute-resolution education, pre-litigation support, conflict-management awareness, factual record organization, administrative documentation, and related support activities, subject to applicable law.

Cqunce is not a law firm and does not provide attorney representation. Its consultancy does not create an attorney-client relationship. Any consultancy or service arrangement with Cqunce is separate from legal representation by an attorney.

Cqunce may recommend that individuals or organizations consult an appropriately licensed attorney or other qualified professional when a matter requires legal advice, representation, or specialized services. Any such recommendation is for informational or referral purposes only and does not guarantee the professional's availability, qualifications for a particular matter, services, or outcome. Unless separately disclosed and lawfully agreed, the recommendation does not establish a partnership, agency, or attorney-client relationship between Cqunce and the recommended professional.

Cqunce does not claim to provide services that applicable law reserves for licensed attorneys or other specifically authorized professionals. Users remain responsible for seeking independent legal advice where appropriate and for meeting applicable deadlines and legal obligations.

No settlement, recovery, favorable outcome, or resolution is guaranteed. The scope of any engagement, where applicable, is governed by its written terms and the laws that apply to the services provided.

Cqunce can only help prior to reaching the police or attorney or litigation, unless both parties agree to negotiation.
