Terms of Service

Draft, pending legal review. Updated from the January 1, 2016 Terms to match the new Quandree. Last updated November 9, 2026.

Agreement

Quandree (the "Site," at quandree.com) is operated by Ask America, Inc. ("Quandree," "we," "us"). By using the Site you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the Site.

What Quandree is

Quandree is an anonymous community for giving and getting opinions. Members can:

• Get opinions: describe a dilemma, offer answer choices, and see how other members vote and what they suggest. No decision is required.
• Settle it: two people in a disagreement each tell their side, both agree in advance to accept the outcome, and the decision is made in one of three ways they choose: by a majority of members once a set number have voted, by a jury of members drawn at random, or by a judge.

Who can use Quandree

You must be 18 or older to join. By joining, you confirm that you are.

Your account

• You sign in with a link sent to your email address (and, when offered, with a Google or Facebook account). Keep access to your email secure; you are responsible for activity under your account.
• You choose your own screen name. It is your only public identity on Quandree. Don't use your real name or anything that could identify you.
• One account per person. Don't share, sell, or transfer your account.

Anonymity and other people

Quandree works because members are anonymous. When you post:

• Leave out names and details that could identify you or anyone else.
• Don't name other members or real people without their permission.
• Don't try to find out who is behind a screen name, or share information that would reveal it.

Opinions, not advice

Votes, comments, advice, and decisions on Quandree are the opinions of other members. They are for informational and entertainment purposes only and are not legal, financial, medical, mental-health, or other professional advice. You are fully responsible for what you decide to do, or not do. Quandree is not responsible for any action you take or don't take based on the Site.

Settling a dispute

• The pledge. When you bring a dispute, or tell your side of one, you agree in advance to accept the decision. This is a personal commitment between the two people involved. It is not binding arbitration, it is not legally enforceable, and it does not waive any legal rights you have. Quandree does not enforce outcomes and does not hold money or property for either side.
• The other side. You may invite the other person with a code or link so they can tell their side in their own words, or summarize their side yourself. If you summarize it, do so fairly and accurately.
• Majority. The two people in a dispute cannot vote on it. Votes stay sealed until the vote goal is reached; then the majority decides, and the decision is final. If the vote ends in a tie, there is no decision.
• Jury. Jurors are members drawn at random, never either side. Each side may strike one juror, and a replacement is drawn. Voting begins once both sides accept the jury. Votes stay sealed until every juror has voted; the majority is the verdict, and a split jury means no decision. Jurors can't see readers' comments until the verdict, and how each juror voted is never shown.
• Judge. A judge is a member who has earned judge status through their track record, or a judge appointed by Quandree. The judge chooses one of the possible outcomes and explains their reasoning, signed with their screen name. Judges are members offering their opinion; they are not lawyers, arbitrators, or court officers, and a ruling is not legal advice or a legal judgment.
• Serving. By joining, you may be drawn for a jury. You aren't required to vote, but jurors should judge each case fairly on both sides' stories.

Community rules

Don't post, send, or upload anything that:

• harasses, threatens, bullies, stalks, or defames anyone;
• is hateful or demeaning toward any person or group, including racist, sexist, or other discriminatory language;
• is obscene, sexually explicit, or uses profanity;
• reveals someone's identity or private information, including your own;
• is spam, advertising, a survey or contest for a business purpose, a chain letter, or a scheme;
• infringes anyone's copyright, trademark, privacy, or other rights;
• contains viruses or harmful code, or is meant to disrupt the Site; or
• breaks any law.

Don't collect information about other members, use automated tools to access the Site, or try to get around how it works.

Moderation

Quandree automatically blocks some offensive words, and members can report any post or comment. Our team reviews reports and may remove any content, at any time, in our sole discretion. We may suspend or close accounts that break these Terms, with or without notice. We do not edit what you post.

What you post

You keep ownership of what you post. By posting, you give Quandree, its affiliates, and the service providers that run the Site a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to host, copy, display, distribute, and reformat it in connection with operating and promoting Quandree. Your posts appear only under your screen name; we will never publish your real name with them. No compensation is paid for posts. You confirm that you have the right to post what you post.

Research

When you join you may choose to include your anonymous votes in research totals shared with businesses and researchers. This is off unless you turn it on, and you can change it anytime in My profile. Only totals for large groups are ever shared, never an individual's answers. See the Privacy Policy.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account at any time from My profile. See the Privacy Policy for what is removed and what stays.
