1 Introduction
By signing up or otherwise using the QuizStud service, websites, and software applications (together, the “QuizStud Service” or “Service”), or accessing any content or material that is made available by QuizStud through the Service (the “Content”) you are entering into a binding contract with the QuizStud entity indicated at the bottom of this document.
The QuizStud Service includes social and interactive features. Use of the QuizStud Service relies on several technical requirements.
Your agreement with us includes these Terms and Conditions of Use (“Terms”) and our Privacy Policy. (The Terms, Privacy Policy, and any additional terms that you agree to, as discussed in the Entire Agreement section, are referred to together as the “Agreements”.) If you wish to review the terms of the Agreements, the effective version of the Agreements can be found on QuizStud’s website. You acknowledge that you have read and understood the Agreements, accept these Agreements, and agree to be bound by them. If you don’t agree with (or cannot comply with) the Agreements, then you may not use the QuizStud Service or consume any Content.
Please read the Agreements carefully. They cover important information about QuizStud Services provided to you and any charges, taxes, and fees we bill you. The Agreements include information about future changes to the Agreements, export controls, automatic renewals, limitations of liability, privacy information and a class action waiver.
In order to use the QuizStud Service and access the Content, you need to (1) be 18 or older, or be 13 or older and have your parent or guardian’s consent to the Agreements, (2) have the power to enter a binding contract with us and not be barred from doing so under any applicable laws, and (3) be resident in a country where the Service is available. You also promise that any registration information that you submit to QuizStud is true, accurate, and complete, and you agree to keep it that way at all times.
2 Changes to the Agreements
Occasionally we may, in our discretion, make changes to the Agreements. When we make material changes to the Agreements, we’ll provide you with prominent notice as appropriate under the circumstances, e.g., by displaying a prominent notice within the Service or by sending you an email. In some cases, we will notify you in advance, and your continued use of the Service after the changes have been made will constitute your acceptance of the changes. Please therefore make sure you read any such notice carefully. If you do not wish to continue using the Service under the new version of the Agreements, you may terminate the Agreements by contacting us through the Customer Service contact form.
3 Using QuizStud
Here’s some information about all the ways you can enjoy QuizStud.
3.1 Our Services & Paid Subscriptions
QuizStud provides streaming services offering a selection of music and other content. Certain QuizStud services are provided to you free-of-charge. Other QuizStud services require payment before you can access them. The QuizStud services that may be accessed after payment are currently referred to as the “Premium Service” (or “Paid Subscriptions”). The QuizStud service that does not require payment is currently referred to as the “Free Service”. You can learn more about our services by visiting our website.
3.2 Codes and other pre-paid offers
If you have purchased or received a code or other offer provided or sold by or on behalf of QuizStud for access to a Paid Subscription (“Code”), separate terms and conditions presented to you along with the Code may also apply to your access to the Service and you agree to comply with any such terms and conditions.
3.3 Trials
From time to time, we or others on our behalf may offer trials of Paid Subscriptions for a specified period without payment or at a reduced rate (a “Trial”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you have prepaid fees for Paid Subscriptions that QuizStud permanently discontinues prior to the end of the Pre-Paid Period (defined in the Payments, cancellations, and cooling off section), QuizStud will refund you the prepaid fees for the Pre-Paid Period after such discontinuation. You understand, agree, and accept that QuizStud has no obligation to maintain, support, upgrade, or update the Service, or to provide all or any specific content through the Service. This section will be enforced to the extent permissible by applicable law.

If you open a Brand Account, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to grant all permissions and licences provided in the Agreements and to bind the Brand to the Agreements.
11 Reward program
The QuizStud service features a reward system whereby QuizStud, in its sole discretion, may reward users based on the amount of “Credits” received by the number of downloads of certain quizzes. You agree to refrain from any attempts to manipulate the reward system, e.g., by creating multiple accounts or by publishing the same quizzes. You acknowledge that QuizStud’s decision in respect of any reward shall be final and binding.
12 Customer support
For customer support with account-related and payment-related questions (“Customer Support Queries”), please submit a ticket to our customer service department using the contact form on the Contact page of our website. We will use reasonable endeavours to respond to all Customer Support Queries within a reasonable time frame but we make no guarantees or warranties of any kind that any Customer Support Queries will be responded to within any particular time frame and/or that we will be able to satisfactorily answer any such queries.
13 Export control
QuizStud’s products may be subject to U.S. export and re-export control laws and regulations or similar laws applicable in other jurisdictions, including the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”) maintained by the U.S. Department of Commerce, trade and economic sanctions maintained by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”) maintained by the Department of State. You warrant that you are (1) not located in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, or Syria; and (2) are not a denied party as specified in the regulations listed above.
You agree to comply with all applicable export and reexport control laws and regulations, including the EAR, trade and economic sanctions maintained by OFAC, and the ITAR. Specifically, you agree that you shall not – directly or indirectly – sell, export, reexport, transfer, divert, or otherwise dispose of any products, software, or technology (including products derived from or based on such technology) received from QuizStud under the Agreements to any destination, entity, or person prohibited by any applicable laws or regulations of the United States or any other jurisdiction without obtaining prior authorization from the competent government authorities as required by those laws and regulations. This export control clause shall survive termination or cancellation of the Agreements.
14 Payments, cancellations, and cooling off
Paid Subscriptions can be purchased either by (1) paying a monthly subscription fee; or (2) pre-payment giving you access to the QuizStud Service for a specific time period (“Pre-Paid Period”). If you have purchased a Paid Subscription using a Code, your Paid Subscription will automatically terminate at the end of the Pre-Paid Period.
When you register for a Paid Subscription, Trial, or Code online, you consent to get access to QuizStud Premium immediately. If you reside outside the United States and register for a Paid Subscription or Code online, you may change your mind for any or no reason and receive a full refund of all monies paid within fourteen (14) days (the “Cooling-off Period”). Refunds will not, however, be provided if you have used QuizStud at any time during the Cooling-off Period.
Unless your Paid Subscription has been purchased as a Pre-Paid Period, your payment to QuizStud will automatically renew at the end of the subscription period, unless you cancel your Paid Subscription through your profile page before the end of the current subscription period. The cancellation will take effect the day after the last day of the current subscription period, and you will be downgraded to the Free Service. However, if you cancel your payment or Paid Subscription and/or terminate any of the Agreements (1) after you have accessed QuizStud during the Cooling-off Period, or (2) after the Cooling-off Period is over (where applicable), or (3) before the end of the current subscription period, we will not refund any subscription fees already paid to us.
If you wish to receive a full refund of all monies paid before the Cooling-off Period is over, you must contact Customer Support.
QuizStud may change the price for the Paid Subscriptions, Pre-Paid Period (for periods not yet paid for), or Codes from time to time, and will communicate any price changes to you in advance and, if applicable, how to accept those changes. Price changes for Paid Subscriptions will take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change. As permitted by local law, you accept the new price by continuing to use the QuizStud Service after the price change takes effect. If you do not agree with the price changes, you have the right to reject the change by unsubscribing from the QuizStud Service prior to the price change going into effect. Please therefore make sure you read any such notification of price changes carefully.
15 Term and termination
The Agreements will continue to apply to you until terminated by either you or QuizStud. However, you acknowledge and agree that the perpetual licence granted by you in relation to User Content, including Feedback, is irrevocable and will therefore continue after expiry or termination of any of the Agreements for any reason. QuizStud may terminate the Agreements or suspend your access to the QuizStud Service at any time, including in the event of your actual or suspected unauthorised use of the QuizStud Service and/or Content, or non-compliance with the Agreements. If you or QuizStud terminate the Agreements, or if QuizStud suspends your access to the QuizStud Service, you agree that QuizStud shall have no liability or responsibility to you and QuizStud will not refund any amounts that you have already paid, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. To learn how to terminate your QuizStud account, please contact us through our contact form which is available on our Contact page. This section will be enforced to the extent permissible by applicable law. You may terminate the Agreements at any time.
16 Warranty and disclaimer
We endeavour to provide the best service we can, but you understand and agree that the QuizStud service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without express or implied warranty or condition of any kind. You use the QuizStud service at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, QuizStud and all owners of the content make no representations and disclaim any warranties or conditions of satisfactory quality, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. Neither QuizStud nor any owner of content warrants that the QuizStud service is free of malware or other harmful components.

You understand and agree that QuizStud is not responsible or liable for any transaction between you and third party providers of third party applications or products or services advertised on or through the QuizStud service.

No advice or information whether oral or in writing obtained by you from QuizStud shall create any warranty on behalf of QuizStud in this regard. Some aspects of this section may not apply in some jurisdictions if prohibited by applicable law.
This does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.
17 Limitation
You agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, your sole and exclusive remedy for any problems or dissatisfaction with the QuizStud service is to uninstall any QuizStud software and to stop using the QuizStud service. While QuizStud accepts no responsibility for third party applications or the content thereof, and while your relationship with such third party applications may be governed by separate agreements with such third parties, to the extent permitted by applicable law, your sole and exclusive remedy, as with respect to QuizStud, for any problems or dissatisfaction with third party applications or the content thereof, is to uninstall and/or stop using any such third party applications.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will QuizStud, its officers, shareholders, employees, agents, directors, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, suppliers, or licensors be liable for (1) any indirect, special, incidental, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages; (2) any loss of use, data, business, or profits (whether direct or indirect), in all cases arising out of the use or inability to use the QuizStud service, third party applications, or third party application content, regardless of legal theory, without regard to whether QuizStud has been warned of the possibility of those damages, and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose; or (3) aggregate liability for all claims relating to the QuizStud service, third party applications, or third party application content more than the amounts paid by you to QuizStud during the prior twelve months in question, to the extent permissible by applicable law.
Nothing in the Agreements removes or limits QuizStud’s liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by its negligence, and, if required by applicable law, gross negligence. Some aspects of this section may not apply in some jurisdictions if prohibited by applicable law.
18 Third party rights
You acknowledge and agree that the owners of the Content and certain distributors (such as app store providers) are intended beneficiaries of the Agreements and have the right to enforce the Agreements directly against you. Other than as set out in this section, the Agreements are not intended to grant rights to anyone except you and QuizStud, and in no event shall the Agreements create any third party beneficiary rights. Furthermore, the rights to terminate, rescind, or agree to any variation, waiver, or settlement of the Agreements are not subject to the consent of any other person.
19 Entire agreement
Other than as stated in this section or as explicitly agreed upon in writing between you and QuizStud, the Agreements constitute all the terms and conditions agreed upon between you and QuizStud and supersede any prior agreements in relation to the subject matter of these Agreements, whether written or oral.
Please note, however, that other aspects of your use of the QuizStud Service may be governed by additional agreements. That could include, for example, access to the QuizStud Service as a result of free or discounted Trials. When you are presented with an offer for such aspects of your use, you will be presented with any related additional agreement, and you may have an opportunity to agree to additional terms. Some of those additional terms are listed on QuizStud’s website. To the extent that there is any irreconcilable conflict between any additional terms and these Terms, the additional terms shall prevail.
20 Severability and waiver
Unless as otherwise stated in the Agreements, should any provision of the Agreements be held invalid or unenforceable for any reason or to any extent, such invalidity or enforceability shall not in any manner affect or render invalid or unenforceable the remaining provisions of the Agreements, and the application of that provision shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law.
Any failure by QuizStud or any third party beneficiary to enforce the Agreements or any provision thereof shall not waive QuizStud’s or the applicable third party beneficiary’s right to do so.
21 Assignment
QuizStud may assign the Agreements or any part of them, and QuizStud may delegate any of its obligations under the Agreements. You may not assign the Agreements or any part of them, nor transfer or sub-license your rights under the Agreements, to any third party.
22 Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold QuizStud harmless from and against all damages, losses, and expenses of any kind (including reasonable attorney fees and costs) arising out of: (1) your breach of this Agreement; (2) any User Content; (3) any activity in which you engage on or through the QuizStud Service; and (4) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.
23 Choice of law and venue
23.1 Governing Law / Jurisdiction
Unless otherwise required by a mandatory law of a member state of the European Union or any other jurisdiction, the Agreements (and any non-contractual disputes/claims arising out of or in connection with them) are subject to the Dutch law, without regard to choice or conflicts of law principles.
Any disputes shall, after the parties have attempted first to resolve the dispute among themselves but not succeeded, be settled by the competent court in the Netherlands, without prejudice to QuizStud to submit the dispute to another body, by the choice of QuizStud.
QuizStud does not accept any codes of conduct as mandatory in connection with the services provided under this agreement.
23.2 Class action waiver
Where permitted under the applicable law, you and QuizStud agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action. Unless both you and QuizStud agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
