Throughout these Terms, "AQS", "we", "us", and "our" refer to Stichting QuantHouse trading as Amsterdam Quant Society.

2. Scope of these Terms

These Terms apply to:

  • your use of the AQS website;
  • your AQS account, if applicable;
  • your membership with AQS;
  • your registration for and participation in AQS events;
  • your applications for board, committee, team, or volunteer roles;
  • your communications and interactions with AQS.

3. Eligibility

You may only use our website and services if you are legally capable of entering into a binding agreement under applicable law.

If you use AQS on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to do so.

4. Membership and accounts

AQS may offer membership registration and account creation through its website.

When creating an account or becoming a member, you agree that:

  • the information you provide is accurate and complete;
  • you will keep your information reasonably up to date;
  • you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials;
  • you are responsible for activity carried out through your account, unless caused by our own fault or a security issue on our side.

We may suspend or terminate an account if we reasonably believe that these Terms have been violated, that the account is being misused, or that suspension is necessary to protect AQS, its members, or third parties.

5. Membership nature

AQS is a student-led community focused on quantitative finance, education, events, and related activities.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, membership is free of charge and does not create any employment relationship, partnership, agency, or other formal legal relationship beyond participation in AQS activities.

AQS reserves the right to refuse, suspend, or terminate membership where reasonably necessary for operational, legal, safety, or community reasons.

6. Events and registrations

AQS may organise workshops, lectures, networking events, competitions, and other activities.

When registering for an event, you agree that:

  • you provide accurate registration information;
  • you attend and participate respectfully;
  • you follow any event-specific instructions communicated by AQS;
  • AQS may change the time, date, location, speaker, format, or availability of an event if reasonably necessary.

AQS reserves the right to deny entry to or remove any participant from an event if their behaviour is disruptive, unsafe, inappropriate, unlawful, or contrary to the purpose of the event.

If an event has limited capacity, registration does not guarantee attendance unless expressly confirmed by AQS.

7. Applications for roles

If you apply for a role within AQS, including board, committee, operations, marketing, PR, or other functions, you agree that:

  • the information you submit is accurate;
  • AQS may review your materials and contact you regarding your application;
  • submission of an application does not guarantee selection, an interview, or appointment.

AQS may decide on applications at its own discretion, subject to applicable law.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • use the website or AQS services for unlawful purposes;
  • submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information;

Photos and videos may be taken during AQS events and activities for reporting, community engagement, and promotional purposes, including publication on our website, LinkedIn, Instagram, and other AQS communication channels.

Where required, AQS will seek consent before using identifiable photos or videos. In other situations, AQS may rely on its legitimate interests in documenting and promoting its activities, while taking appropriate account of the rights and expectations of attendees.
