The following terminology applies to these Terms and Conditions, the Privacy Statement and any or all Agreements: "Client", "You" and "Your" refers to you, the person logging on to this website and compliant to these terms and conditions.

What QuizKite is

QuizKite is a free, independently run website publishing quizzes and articles for general interest and learning. It is not an educational institution, it does not issue qualifications, and its content carries no accreditation. Nothing on the site is professional advice of any kind — see our Disclaimer.

Cookies

We employ the use of cookies. By accessing QuizKite, you agreed to use cookies in agreement with our Privacy Policy. Most interactive websites use cookies to let us retrieve the user's details for each visit. Cookies are used by our website to enable the functionality of certain areas, such as keeping you signed in and remembering your preferences. A complete, itemised list of every cookie this site uses is published in our Cookie Policy.

Licence

Unless otherwise stated, QuizKite and/or its licensors own the intellectual property rights for all material on QuizKite. All intellectual property rights are reserved. You may access this material from QuizKite for your own personal use, subject to restrictions set in these terms and conditions.

You may, without asking: read and play anything published here, print a page for your own use, quote a short passage with attribution and a link, share links to any page, and use the site in a classroom or study group.

You must not:

• republish material from QuizKite on another website or in another publication;
• sell, rent or sub-licence material from QuizKite;
• reproduce, duplicate or copy material from QuizKite, including reproducing the question bank or any substantial part of it;
• redistribute content from QuizKite, or present it as your own work;
• use the content to train a commercial model or to build a competing product.

Facts themselves are not owned by anyone, and we make no claim over them. What is protected is the specific way we have written, selected, arranged and explained them.

Acceptable use

You agree to use QuizKite lawfully and not to:

• disrupt the site, or attempt to gain access to any part of it you are not meant to reach;
• scrape, crawl or otherwise extract content at scale by automated means;
• submit anything through our forms that is unlawful, abusive, deceptive or designed to damage the site;
• misrepresent your identity to another user, or interfere with anyone else's use of the site;
• attempt to manipulate scores, leaderboards or play counts through automated or deceptive means.

Ordinary, respectful search-engine crawling within the limits set by our robots file is welcome and expressly permitted.

Accounts

An account is optional; everything published on the site can be read and played without one. If you create an account, you are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for activity that takes place under it. You do not have to use your real name, but you must not impersonate anybody else. Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed by another person.

You may stop using an account at any time and ask us to delete it. We may suspend or remove an account being used to break these terms, to harass other users, or to attack the site. Where the situation allows, we will explain why.

Content you submit

If you send us a correction, a suggestion or a message, you grant us permission to use it to improve the site, including acting on a correction and, where relevant, quoting it. You retain ownership of what you wrote. Please do not send confidential material through a contact form.

We particularly welcome corrections. If something on the site is wrong, telling us is a favour rather than a complaint.

Hyperlinking to our content

The following organisations may link to our website without prior written approval: government agencies; search engines; news organisations; online directory distributors; and system-wide accredited businesses, excepting soliciting non-profit organisations, charity shopping malls and charity fundraising groups which may not hyperlink to our website.

These organisations may link to our home page, to publications, or to other website information so long as the link: is not in any way deceptive; does not falsely imply sponsorship, endorsement or approval of the linking party and its products or services; and fits within the context of the linking party's site.

We may consider and approve other link requests from commonly known consumer or business information sources, dot.com community sites, associations or other groups representing charities, online directory distributors, internet portals, accounting, law and consulting firms, and educational institutions and trade associations. If you are interested in linking to our website, please contact us. Approved organisations may hyperlink to our website by use of our corporate name, the uniform resource locator being linked to, or any other description of our website that makes sense within the context of the linking party's site. No use of any logo or other artwork will be allowed for linking absent a trademark licence agreement.

iFrames

Without prior approval and written permission, you may not create frames around our webpages that alter in any way the visual presentation or appearance of our website.

Content liability

We shall not be held responsible for any content that appears on your website if you link to ours. You agree to protect and defend us against all claims that arise on your website. No links should appear on any website that may be interpreted as libellous, obscene or criminal, or which infringes, otherwise violates, or advocates the infringement or other violation of, any third party rights.

Reservation of rights

We reserve the right to request that you remove all links or any particular link to our website. You approve to immediately remove all links to our website upon request. We also reserve the right to amend these terms and conditions and our linking policy at any time. By continuously linking to our website, you agree to be bound to and follow these linking terms and conditions.

Removal of links from our website

If you find any link on our website that is offensive for any reason, you are free to contact and inform us at any moment. We will consider requests to remove links, but we are not obliged to do so or to respond to you directly.

We do not ensure that the information on this website is correct. We do not warrant its completeness or accuracy, nor do we promise to ensure that the website remains available or that the material on the website is kept up to date.

Accuracy, and the limits of it

Every quiz and article is researched and checked by hand before publication, and we correct mistakes when they are found. We do not warrant that the site is free of errors, that it is complete, or that it is current — subjects move on, sources disagree, and errors survive review. Nothing here should be relied on where accuracy genuinely matters; check a primary source. Our approach is set out in the Editorial Policy.

Availability

The site is provided as it is and as it happens to be available. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, and we may change, suspend or withdraw any part of it — including individual quizzes and articles — without notice. We may also restructure the site, which can change or retire URLs.

Advertising

The site is supported by advertising, which is how it stays free with no paywall. Advertisements are selected and served by third-party providers, not chosen by us individually. Their presence on a page is not an endorsement of the advertiser, and any dealing you have with an advertiser is between you and them.

Disclaimer

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we exclude all representations, warranties and conditions relating to our website and the use of this website. Nothing in this disclaimer will:

• limit or exclude our or your liability for death or personal injury;
• limit or exclude our or your liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
• limit any of our or your liabilities in any way that is not permitted under applicable law;
• exclude any of our or your liabilities that may not be excluded under applicable law.

The limitations and prohibitions of liability set in this section and elsewhere in this disclaimer govern all liabilities arising under the disclaimer, including liabilities arising in contract, in tort and for breach of statutory duty.

As long as the website and the information and services on it are provided free of charge, we will not be liable for any loss or damage of any nature. Where local consumer-protection law gives you rights that cannot be waived, those rights stand regardless of anything written here.

Indemnity

If your use of the site in breach of these terms causes a claim to be brought against us, you agree to be responsible for the reasonable costs arising directly from that claim.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which QuizKite is operated, and any dispute will be dealt with by the courts of that jurisdiction. This does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer law in your own country of residence.

Severability

If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply in full. Our failure to enforce a provision on one occasion does not waive our right to enforce it later.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the site develops. The date at the top of this page shows when they last changed. Continuing to use the site after a change means accepting the revised terms; where a change is significant, we will make it obvious rather than editing quietly.
