QUICKQUIZ — TERMS AND CONDITIONS

SECTION A: USE OF OUR SITE AND SERVICE
SECTION B: ADDITIONAL TERMS THAT APPLY TO PAID PLANS AND OTHER PURCHASES
SECTION C: GENERAL

These terms and conditions confirm the terms of use on which you may make use of our website and the QuickQuiz online quiz hosting service, whether as a guest, a contestant joining a room, or a registered Host, and on which we supply paid plans and other paid features, if applicable, (Paid Services) to you. Please read these terms and conditions carefully and make sure that you understand them before you start to use the site and/or order any Paid Services. If you do not accept these terms and conditions, please refrain from using our site. By using our site, joining a room, creating or using a Host account, or ordering Paid Services, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

We recommend that you print a copy of these terms and conditions for future reference.

Please read these terms and conditions carefully as they contain binding obligations on you. Your attention is in particular drawn to the provisions of clause 9 and clause 13.

SECTION A — USE OF OUR SITE AND SERVICE

1. Information about us

1.1 We operate the QuickQuiz website at quiznightlive.co.uk and the online quiz hosting service available through it (together, our site). QuickQuiz is provided entirely in a web browser. You do not need to download a desktop application, a laptop installer, or a mobile app from an app store in order to host or join a quiz.

1.2 These Conditions are between you and the operator of the QuickQuiz instance you are using. If you deploy QuickQuiz on your own servers, you are the operator of that instance and these Conditions do not create a contract between your users and us unless they are using an instance we operate.

1.3 Our trading name is QuickQuiz. Our public website is quiznightlive.co.uk. Our contact address is hello@quiznightlive.co.uk. Our legal name, company number, and registered office will be those published on our site from time to time, or otherwise notified to you when you register or are invited as a Host.

2. Interpretation

2.1 The definitions and rules of interpretation in this clause apply in these terms and conditions (Conditions).

Contestant: a person who joins a Room from a browser using a room code, join link, or QR code, without creating a Host account.

Host: a person with a registered account who is permitted to create and run Rooms (including accounts with the Quizmaster, Quizmaster Pro, Reseller, or Administrator role).

Host account: the signed-in account we (or an administrator of the instance) create or invite so that you can host quizzes.

Order: the order or orders which you place with us through our site for Paid Services.

Order Acceptance: the confirmation by us of such acceptance of an Order, sent by e-mail or shown in your account, confirming that the Paid Services have been enabled.

Pack: a set of quiz questions made available through the Service, including built-in packs and packs or questions a Host adds.

Paid Services: Quizmaster Pro and any other paid plan, upgrade, or chargeable feature we offer through our site from time to time.

Quizmaster Pro: the paid Host plan for professional quiz masters that includes the standard hosting features together with additional tools we describe on our site (currently including AI search over the question bank and the ability to pre-build, save, and later run a planned quiz).

Room: a live quiz session created by a Host, which Contestants join from their own browsers.

Service: the online-only QuickQuiz quiz hosting service, including room creation, joining, live play, scoring, recaps, saved quizzes (where enabled), and related account features, all delivered through a web browser.

3. Accessing our site

3.1 Access to our site is permitted on a temporary basis, and we reserve the right to withdraw or amend the service we provide on our site without notice (see below). We will not be liable if for any reason our site is unavailable at any time or for any period.

3.2 From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of our site, or our entire site, to Hosts or to particular roles.

3.3 You are responsible for making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to our site, including a compatible web browser and a reliable internet connection. You are also responsible for ensuring that all persons who access our site through your internet connection are aware of these terms, and that they comply with them.

3.4 Hosts are responsible for the devices, projector or audience screen, and room network used on the night. Contestants are responsible for the device and connection they use to join.

4. The Service is online only

4.1 The Service is provided online through our site. We do not supply, and you do not need, downloaded quiz-hosting software for a laptop, a desktop installer, or a mobile application from an app store. Hosts and Contestants use the Service in a web browser.

4.2 A Host signs in, creates a Room, and displays a room code, join link, or QR code. Contestants join from their own browsers, choose a team name, and lock answers. Scores and a recap are stored for that Room. Questions come from the Host’s chosen Pack, a pre-built quiz (where the Host’s plan allows it), or a previous session the Host is permitted to replay.

4.3 We may change, add, or withdraw features of the Service, including Quizmaster Pro features, from time to time. Descriptions of features on our pricing and help pages are published in good faith but are not a warranty that any particular feature will remain available.

4.4 Live Rooms depend on our servers remaining available and on the Host’s and Contestants’ internet connections. We do not guarantee that a given Room will complete, that every device will stay connected, or that recap data will be kept forever.

5. Host accounts

5.1 To host a Room you must have a Host account. Contestants do not create accounts. Host accounts may be created by an administrator, or you may be invited to set a password. Public self-registration may or may not be available on a given instance.

5.2 If you choose, or are given, a user name, password, or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any third party. We have the right to disable any user name or password, at any time, if in our opinion you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these Conditions. It is your responsibility to keep secure any information that might identify you and allow access to your Host account. We are not liable if a person is able to host Rooms, change your content, or use Paid Services on your account as a result of you not taking appropriate care of your account details. If you lose or accidentally reveal your login or password details, you should contact us immediately.

5.3 Recap links and host resume tokens may include a session token. Treat those like a password for that session’s results or for resuming the Room. You are responsible for who can see a recap you share.

5.4 Hosts may ask us to close their account. Closure does not automatically delete recaps or other records we are required or entitled to keep, and does not relieve the Host of any continuing obligations under these Conditions. Unused Paid Services are dealt with under Section B.

5.5 If we appoint you as a Reseller, any additional commercial terms we agree with you in writing apply in addition to these Conditions. These Conditions still govern your use of the Service.

6. Quizmaster Pro and other Paid Services

6.1 By placing an Order for Paid Services through our site, you warrant that:

(a) you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts;

(b) you are at least 18 years old;

6.2 Credit packs and Quizmaster Pro can be bought through card checkout on our site. Quizmaster Pro is a monthly subscription. You can cancel it from your account page; access continues until the end of the billing period you have already paid for. An administrator may still enable a plan or credit balance for you. The same rules in these Conditions apply whether you paid through checkout or an administrator assigned the role or credits.

6.3 When checkout is available, the following confirmation will be shown before you can complete a purchase: “I have read and understood and accept and agree to the terms and conditions.”

6.4 Paid Services are personal to the Host account they are assigned to. They are not transferable to another person except with our written agreement, and they are not refundable except in accordance with clause 9 or as required by law.

6.5 When we take payment, we will state the available payment methods at checkout. All card and other electronic payments are subject to validation and authorisation by the payment provider and, where applicable, your card issuer. If payment is refused, we shall not be liable for any delay or failure to enable the Paid Services.

6.6 The price of Paid Services will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. Prices will be shown inclusive or exclusive of VAT as stated on our site. We may change prices at any time; a change does not affect an Order we have already accepted, except where we have to correct an obvious pricing error.

7. Hosting a quiz

7.1 Creating a Room and using the Service is governed by these Conditions. There is no separate download licence, because there is no software for you to install.

7.2 A Host may create Rooms to the extent their credit balance and role allow. Creating a new Room, including a replay of an earlier session, uses one credit. That credit is not returned once the Room exists. Administrators may create Rooms without using credits. Quizmaster Pro features (including AI question search and pre-built quizzes) are available only while that plan is enabled on the account.

7.3 The Host is responsible for the Room, including who is invited, what is shown on the audience screen, team names allowed in the lobby, and who is given a recap link. The Host is also responsible for using the Service in a way that is lawful for their event, including any venue, employment, or public-performance rules that apply to them.

7.4 Built-in trivia Packs are provided for live quizzes at training sessions, events, and social gatherings. They are not a licensed public performance of third-party works, lyrics, or recordings beyond personal or internal events. Do not rely on question text as advice, and do not scrape, republish, or resell our question bank.

8. Your content and acceptable use

8.1 Team names must be 40 characters or fewer and must not include material you do not have the right to use, or material that is unlawful, abusive, or otherwise inappropriate for the event.

8.2 Custom questions, packs, planned quizzes, and other content you add remain your responsibility. You warrant that you have the right to use that content in the Service and that it does not infringe anyone else’s rights. You grant us a licence to store and display that content as needed to provide the Service, including recaps and later Rooms you run.

8.3 A question that has already been used in a Room may be locked from edit or delete so that old recaps stay accurate. We may keep recaps after you remove a session from your own list.

8.4 You must not attempt to disrupt Rooms you do not host, scrape other teams’ devices or answers, interfere with scoring, create multiple devices to cheat, or use the Service to send malware, spam, or harassment.

8.5 Contestants accept these Conditions by joining a Room. The Host remains responsible for supervising their event. We may remove a team name, disconnect a device, or end a Room if we believe these Conditions have been breached.

SECTION B — ADDITIONAL TERMS THAT APPLY TO PAID PLANS AND OTHER PURCHASES

9. How the Contract is formed and cancellation rights

9.1 After placing an Order, you will receive an acknowledgement that we have received your Order (by e-mail or in your account). Please note that this does not mean that your Order has been accepted. Your Order constitutes an offer to us to buy the Paid Services.

9.2 All Orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance by sending or displaying an Order Acceptance. The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when we send or display the Order Acceptance. Enabling Quizmaster Pro or another paid feature on your account is delivery of a digital service, not delivery of downloadable software or physical goods.

9.3 Unless agreed otherwise, our supply of the Paid Services starts when we send or display the Order Acceptance, at which point the relevant features become available in your Host account through our site.

9.4 If you are contracting as a consumer, you have the right to cancel the Contract within 14 days starting the day after the Contract is formed, unless you have asked us to start the Paid Services during that period and they have been fully performed, or you have started using the paid features and, where we asked you to, you acknowledged that you would lose the right to cancel.

9.5 If you have the right to cancel then:

(a) you will need to send a notice in writing to us stating that you wish to cancel the Contract. You may send the notice by e-mail or by post using the contact details in clause 21. If you cancel orally, you will need to confirm the oral cancellation in writing; and

(b) you will need to send us the notice of cancellation within the 14-day period in clause 9.4; and

(c) after we receive a valid notice of cancellation we will refund the money you have paid to us for the cancelled Paid Services within 14 days, using the same payment method where possible. If you asked us to start the Paid Services during the cancellation period and you still have a remaining right to cancel, we may deduct an amount for the Service supplied up to the point you cancel.

9.6 These Conditions shall:

(a) apply to and be incorporated into the Contract; and

(b) prevail over any inconsistent terms or conditions contained, or referred to, in the Order, or implied by trade custom, practice or course of dealing.

9.7 Nothing in this clause 9 affects your statutory rights, including rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 if Paid Services are not as described, not fit for purpose, or not provided with reasonable care and skill.

SECTION C — GENERAL

10. Intellectual property rights

We therefore disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such materials by any visitor to our site, or by anyone who may be informed of any of its contents.

12. Our site changes regularly

We aim to update our site regularly, and may change the content at any time. If the need arises, we may suspend access to our site, or close it indefinitely. Any of the material on our site may be out of date at any given time, and we are under no obligation to update such material. Preview or early access hosting may change, pause, or drop in-progress connections when we deploy updates.

provided that this clause 13.2 shall not prevent claims for direct financial loss that are not excluded by any of categories (a) to (h) inclusive of this clause 13.2.

13.3 Subject to clauses 13.1 and 13.2, our maximum aggregate liability under or in connection with these Conditions, or any collateral contract, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, shall be limited to a sum equal to the amounts you paid us for Paid Services in the 12 months before the claim arose (or, if you have paid nothing, fifty pounds sterling) plus damages limited to 50% of that sum for any additional costs directly, reasonably and necessarily incurred by you in obtaining alternative products and/or services.

13.4 Subject to clauses 13.1, 13.2 and 13.3, our liability for infringement of third-party intellectual property rights shall be limited to breaches of rights subsisting in the UK.

13.5 We make no warranty that our site or the Service will meet your requirements or will be error-free, uninterrupted and timely, that defects will be corrected, or that our site is free of viruses or bugs. We will not be responsible or liable to you for any loss of content or material uploaded or transmitted through our site, or for a Room that is interrupted by your connection, a Contestant’s connection, or a deployment or maintenance window.

13.6 To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, we disclaim any and all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, in relation to the Service and the Paid Services. This does not affect your legal rights as a consumer, or your rights under clause 9 above.

14. Copyright and links

14.1 The contents of our site are protected by international copyright laws and other intellectual property rights. We, our affiliates or other third party licensors are the owner of these rights. All product and company names and logos mentioned in our site are the trademarks, service marks or trading names of their respective owners. You may copy material from our site only as needed to use the Service or place an Order. You may not modify, copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit or distribute, by any means or in any manner, any material or information on our site including but not limited to text, graphics, video, messages, code, Packs and/or software without our prior written consent, except where expressly invited to do so by us.

14.2 We make no representations whatsoever about any other websites which you may access through our site or which may link to our site. When you access any other website you understand that it is independent from us and that we have no control over the content or availability of that website. In addition, a link to any other website does not mean that we endorse or accept any responsibility for the content, or the use of, such a website and we shall not be liable for any loss or damage caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any content, goods or services available on or through any other website or resource.

15. Applicability of online materials

All information on the Service and Paid Services is published in good faith but we do not (to the extent permitted by applicable law) accept responsibility for the accuracy or otherwise of such information. We reserve the right to change information, pricing and descriptions of the Service and Paid Services at any time and without notice.

16. Data Protection

16.1 We collect and process personal data in connection with Host accounts and the operation of Rooms as described in our privacy policy. Where we need a lawful basis under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, we will rely on the basis set out in that policy. If we transfer personal data to countries outside the United Kingdom, we will do so only as permitted by those laws.

16.2 By registering on and/or using our site, you acknowledge that processing. You warrant that all data you provide is accurate, and that if you enter anyone else’s details (for example when inviting another Host) you have the right to do so.

16.3 Contestants do not create accounts. A Room stores a team name, a random device identifier, locked answers, and connection status, as described in our privacy policy. Hosts must not require Contestants to enter personal data the Service does not need.

17. Written communications

Applicable laws require that some of the information or communications we send to you should be in writing. When using our site, you accept that communication with us will be mainly electronic. We will contact you by e-mail or provide you with information by posting notices on our site. For contractual purposes, you agree to this electronic means of communication and you acknowledge that all contracts, notices, information and other communications that we provide to you electronically comply with any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

In the event of such a breach, your right to use our site will cease immediately.

18.3 We will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by a distributed denial-of-service attack, viruses or other technologically harmful material that may infect your computer equipment, computer programs, data or other proprietary material due to your use of our site or to your downloading of any material posted on it, or on any website linked to it.

19. General

21. Contact information
