1. Who provides this site
This website is operated by TQC Accreditation, Am Bahnhof Westend 9, 14059 Berlin, Germany. Contact: info@tqcaccreditation.org.
2. What the site is for
The site provides information about accreditation by TQC and a means of checking certificates we have issued. It is offered for information and for the legitimate verification of certificates.
3. Certificate check results
A result reflects the state of our register at the moment of the search. Status can change — an accreditation may be suspended or withdrawn between one search and the next — so a result should not be treated as a permanent guarantee of continuing validity. Where a decision of consequence turns on a certificate, ask the office for written confirmation.
A result confirms only what it states: the existence, scope and status of an accreditation on our register. It is not an endorsement of any product, service, organisation or person, and it does not attest to matters outside the accredited scope.
Automated or bulk querying of the check service is not permitted.
4. Accuracy
We take care that the information here is correct and current, but the site is provided without warranty that it is complete, uninterrupted or error-free. Documents issued by the office prevail over any summary of them on this site.
5. Use of the TQC name and mark
The TQC name, logo and accreditation mark are ours. They may be used only by bodies holding a current accreditation, within the terms of the rules for use of the mark, and only in connection with activities inside the accredited scope. Any other use — including use by a body that is not accredited, and use after suspension or withdrawal — is prohibited and will be pursued.
6. Links to other sites
Where we link to a site we do not control, we are not responsible for its content and a link is not an endorsement.
7. Liability
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from use of this site. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
8. Complaints and appeals
Complaints about our services, and appeals against accreditation decisions, are handled under our published procedures rather than under these terms. Write to the office marking your message as a complaint or an appeal.
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by German law, and the courts of Berlin have jurisdiction, save where mandatory consumer protection rules provide otherwise.
10. Changes
We may update these terms. The date at the top of this page shows when they last changed.
