Terms of use
These terms form the agreement between you and Quizzes.gg covering the quizzes.gg website, the iPhone and iPad app, and the Apple TV app. Together these are referred to below as the service. By using any part of the service you agree to these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the service.
Who we are
The service is operated by Quizzes.gg. References below to "we", "us" and "our" are to Quizzes.gg.
You can contact us at [email protected].
Accounts
You may use the service without an account. Progress recorded without an account is held on the device you used and does not transfer to another device.
Creating an account requires an email address. We do not use passwords. You sign in using a link or a six character code sent to your address, which means that anyone with access to your email account, or to a device on which you are already signed in, can sign in as you. You are responsible for keeping both secure. Tell us at [email protected] if you believe someone else has gained access and we will end all active sessions on the account.
You must be 13 or over to create an account. Accounts are personal to you. You may not create an account on behalf of another person, hold more than one account, or transfer your account to anyone else.
Acceptable use
Scoring is performed on our servers and not on your device. You must not attempt to influence a score other than by answering questions yourself. In particular, you must not:
- submit answers by means of a script, bot or any automated process;
- decompile, reverse engineer or otherwise examine our apps, website or network traffic in order to obtain answers in advance of being asked a question;
- operate more than one account, whether to affect a leaderboard position, a streak or for any other purpose;
- circumvent any rate limit, or place unreasonable load on the service or any part of our infrastructure;
- use the service in any way that is unlawful, or that interferes with another person's use of it.
Where we identify a score that was not earned in normal play we will remove it, and we may suspend or close the account it was recorded against.
Display names and handles
The display name, handle and avatar you choose are visible to other users on leaderboards and profile pages. You must not choose a name or handle that is obscene, abusive, discriminatory, or that impersonates another person or organisation. We may change or remove any name or handle that breaches this clause, and we may do so without prior notice.
Our content
All questions, answers, artwork, software and the quizzes.gg name and logo are owned by us or licensed to us, and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights. You are granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to use the service for your own private enjoyment.
You may not copy, extract, scrape, redistribute or republish our question bank or any substantial part of it, use it to develop a competing product, or use our name or logo in a way that suggests an association or endorsement that does not exist.
Quiz content is provided for entertainment. While we take care over accuracy, questions and answers are not a reference source and should not be relied upon for any other purpose.
Subscriptions
The service is free to use. A subscription costs £2.99 per month. It removes advertising from the website and from both apps, and it enables downloading quizzes for offline play on iPhone and iPad. It does not unlock quizzes, categories, achievements or leaderboards, none of which are restricted. A subscription bought on any one platform applies to all three, provided you are signed in to the same account.
No payment provider is connected at present, so no subscription is currently available for purchase. When subscriptions become available they will be sold through the App Store, and the following will apply:
- payment is taken by Apple through your App Store account, and the subscription renews automatically until cancelled;
- cancellation is made through your App Store settings. We cannot cancel a subscription on your behalf;
- cancelling prevents further payments. The subscription continues until the end of the period already paid for;
- refunds are administered by Apple in accordance with its own policy, and we are not able to issue them;
- we will give notice of any price increase before it takes effect, so that you may cancel beforehand.
Because the purchase is made through the App Store, Apple's terms apply to it in addition to these terms.
Cancellation rights
Consumers in the United Kingdom and the European Union generally have a 14 day right to cancel a distance contract. This right is lost for digital content once supply has begun with the consumer's consent. A subscription purchased through the App Store begins immediately, and any request to cancel or obtain a refund should be made to Apple. Nothing in these terms affects any statutory right you have as a consumer.
Closing your account
You may close your account at any time by emailing [email protected] from the address registered to it. We will delete the account together with the sessions, attempts, answers, achievements and activity records associated with it. Deletion cannot be reversed. Our privacy page sets out what is removed.
We may suspend or close an account that is used in breach of these terms or of the law. Except where immediate action is required, we will notify you of the reason.
Availability
The service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, free from error, or that any particular quiz, category or feature will remain available. We may add, change, suspend or withdraw features, and we may carry out maintenance, at any time.
Liability
We are liable for loss you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these terms or our failure to use reasonable care and skill. We are not liable for loss that is not foreseeable, nor for loss of profit, loss of business, loss of data for which you hold no other copy, or loss of scores, progress or leaderboard position.
Where we are liable, and to the extent the law permits a limit, our total liability to you is limited to the greater of £50 and the total amount you have paid us in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected by these terms.
Age of users
An account requires you to be 13 or over. Users under 13 may use the service without an account, which requires no email address and creates no record identifying them. We do not profile users ourselves. Where advertising is displayed it is provided by Google, and the privacy notice explains what that means and what consent we ask for first.
Changes to these terms
We may amend these terms. The amended version will be published on this page and the date at the top updated. Where a change materially affects your rights or the price you pay, we will state that change on this page. Continuing to use the service after an amendment takes effect constitutes acceptance of it. If you do not accept an amendment, you should close your account.
Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms are governed by the law of Scotland. Any dispute arising out of them may be brought before the courts of Scotland. If you are a consumer resident in England, Wales or Northern Ireland, you may instead bring proceedings in the courts of the part of the United Kingdom in which you live.
General
If any provision of these terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in force. A failure by us to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
