Why do I need to pay a license fee?

The QLQ-C30 and its associated modules are copyrighted instruments, with all rights reserved. Written, prior consent of the EORTC Quality of Life Group is required for their use.  In order to use the QLQ-C30 and modules we would ask you to sign a User Agreement, without which we cannot grant permission to use our measures.  Such usage means that a compensation fee is payable to EORTC, which serves as a contribution to current research being carried out by EORTC and the QLG.

 

What will the fee be used for?

The funds that are generated from the fees will be used exclusively to support the ongoing charitable non-profit research of the EORTC Quality of Life Group, including the development and refinement of quality of life measures.

 

What is included in this fee?

  • The QLQ-C30 questionnaire
  • Any specific module(s) required in your trial
  • The C30 scoring manual and scoring for the requested specific module(s), if any
  • All languages that we have available in our library

Translation certificates can be provided on request.
