Consumers: If you use the Platform for private, non-commercial purposes, you are a consumer within the meaning of § 13 BGB (German Civil Code) and enjoy the statutory protections.

Business users: Use for commercial or self-employed professional purposes is made as an entrepreneur within the meaning of § 14 BGB; consumer-protection restrictions then apply only where they are mandatory.

The user agreement is concluded upon registration or upon first use of features that require acceptance of these terms, unless the law requires something else (for example a separate express confirmation for material changes).

Version date: 31 March 2026

Minimum age: Use is permitted only to persons aged 16 or older. Younger persons may not use the Platform. (Background: among others Art. 8 GDPR — in Germany, consent below the age of 16 often requires parental approval; from 16 onwards the position is unambiguous for you and for us. The DSA does not impose a blanket age limit of 16 in terms of use.)

Registration: The full range of features may require registration with a valid e-mail address and the further details requested in the respective form. You are obliged to provide truthful and current information and to keep your credentials confidential. Passing your account to third parties is prohibited.

One account: As a rule one user account is provided per natural person; multiple accounts used to circumvent bans or to manipulate the service are prohibited.

Cost, advertising funding: Using the Platform (quiz, community, communication as described) is free of charge for you. Operation is financed through advertising revenue. Advertisements may be displayed on the Platform, in particular via Google AdSense (provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; technically possibly Google LLC, USA — as currently arranged by Google). This may include text and graphical ads, where applicable personalised advertising (if you consent via the cookie/consent banner) and reach/usage measurement in the context of advertising. Details (legal bases, objection, storage periods, third-country transfers) are set out in the privacy policy at /privacy. There are currently no paid additional services for users; should paid features be offered later, this will only happen with separate, prior and clear consent (price, service).

The provider makes available a software-as-a-service platform for multiplayer quiz games with community features, in particular lobbies, game rounds, leaderboards as well as optional text, voice or video communication and reporting/moderation features.

No claim to a particular form: Features, categories, question content, game modes and technical details may be developed further, changed or discontinued, provided this is reasonable for the user and no essential contractual obligations lapse without replacement.

Availability: There is no claim to uninterrupted availability, error-free presentation or particular response times. Maintenance windows, technical faults and dependence on third parties (hosting, network, telecommunications, advertising networks such as AdSense) may lead to outages or restrictions.

Google AdSense: Advertising is delivered via Google AdSense. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland); technically further Google group companies (including Google LLC, USA) may be involved. Decisive for data processing, cookies and ad formats are Google's current technical and contractual requirements as well as our privacy policy (/privacy).

EU User Consent Policy: For users in the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland we implement Google's mandatory EU User Consent Policy: you receive information and — where required — the option to consent or to refuse (cookies/local storage, personalised advertising, the ad technology providers concerned). We obtain consent through a Google-certified consent management platform (CMP) compliant with the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF) and pass the signals on to Google. Withdrawal and adjustments are possible via the cookie/consent banner or the cookie settings.

No guarantee of advertising revenue: There is no claim to a particular frequency, type or content of advertising, or to permanent delivery; ads may be contextual or — after consent — personalised.

Platform, software, design: All rights in the Platform, the software, texts, graphics, logos, databases and the overall arrangement belong to the provider or its licensors. Any use, reproduction or distribution going beyond what is necessary to use the Platform is prohibited.

User content: Content you post or transmit (for example chat, profile texts, user names, uploaded images where provided for) remains yours under copyright law; at the same time you grant the provider a simple, non-exclusive right of use, limited in time and territory to the operation of the Platform, in particular for storage, technical processing, display, transmission to other users in the same game session, for carrying out moderation and for complying with statutory obligations (for example storage to investigate unlawful content).

No transfer of ownership: No ownership of intellectual property is transferred to the provider, except where mandatorily required by law.

Indemnification: Where third parties bring claims against the provider because of content you posted or caused, you indemnify the provider against those claims, provided you are responsible for the infringement; this does not apply in cases of intent or gross negligence on the part of the provider.

Community quizzes as third-party content: Quizzes created by users (community quizzes) are third-party content within the meaning of Art. 6 DSA and §§ 7 ff. DDG. The provider merely stores this content on behalf of the posting user and does not adopt it as its own. Responsibility for the content, accuracy and lawfulness of a community quiz lies solely with the respective author, who is visibly identified on the Platform.

Nature of the review before publication: Any review carried out before publication serves exclusively to prevent abuse, spam and danger. It is not a check of accuracy, completeness or lawfulness, does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement of the content, and does not amount to adopting the content as our own. There is no general obligation to monitor or actively investigate (Art. 8 DSA). Voluntary review measures are taken within the scope of Art. 7 DSA and leave the liability privilege unaffected.

Author's warranty: Anyone posting a community quiz warrants that they hold all necessary rights in the texts, images and other materials used, or are licensed for them, and that they do not infringe any third-party rights. This warranty must be expressly confirmed before submission; the confirmation is logged. In addition, the indemnification under the section "Rights in the Platform and in user content (UGC)" applies.

Notice and action procedure (Art. 16 DSA): Unlawful content can be reported at any time via the report function on the respective quiz or by e-mail to [email protected]. A report should contain: identification of the content complained about (quiz or question), reasons why it is unlawful and — for copyright complaints — details of ownership of the rights. The provider reviews incoming reports and removes or disables unlawful content without undue delay once it obtains knowledge of it.

Statement of reasons to the author (Art. 17 DSA): If content is removed or disabled, the posting user is informed with a statement of the reasons. They may revise and resubmit the content or object to the decision (contact as above).

You undertake to use the Platform responsibly and lawfully. The following are prohibited in particular (non-exhaustive):

• Insults, harassment, threats, bullying, hate speech, discriminatory content

• Glorification of violence, extremist content, pornographic content, unless expressly and lawfully permitted

• Deception, identity theft, social engineering, phishing

• Bots, scripts, manipulation tools that disrupt fair play or the infrastructure or improperly influence scores/leaderboards

• Circumventing bans, misusing reporting systems, multiple accounts used for circumvention

• Infringing third-party copyright, trade mark, personality or other protected rights

• Other unlawful acts or acts that endanger the Platform

Consequences: The provider may delete or block content, restrict features, suspend users temporarily or permanently and terminate access, where necessary to enforce these rules, to ensure compliance with law and contract, or to avert danger.

Contractual classification: By using the Platform you acknowledge that personal data may be processed in order to provide the offered features (including optional voice/video communication and the reporting system), as described in detail in the privacy policy at /privacy and in line with Art. 13 and 14 GDPR.

No duplication of privacy information: The decisive information on purposes, legal bases (including Art. 6 GDPR), categories of data, recipients, storage periods or the criteria for determining them, your rights and any third-country transfers is set out exclusively in the privacy policy. These terms govern only the contractual obligations and prohibitions; they do not replace the information duties under the GDPR.

User obligations: You may not misuse the communication and reporting features (in particular no deliberately false reports). The provider may carry out the processing described in the privacy policy in order to enforce these terms and to prevent abuse.

Reports and moderation: To handle reports, in particular audio, text derived from speech (transcripts) and metadata may be processed; deletion and any longer retention follow the criteria and periods specifically named in the privacy policy (section on voice transmission, reports and moderation), subject to mandatory statutory requirements.

Note: The privacy policy governs the interpretation of data-protection terms; in the event of contradictions between an older version of these terms and the current privacy policy, the privacy policy prevails on data-protection matters.

The Platform may contain links to websites, services or content of third parties (for example social media icons, embedded content, payment or hosting providers). The respective operators are responsible for the content behind those links.

The provider accepts no liability for the accuracy, completeness or lawfulness of third-party offerings and does not endorse them unless expressly stated otherwise. Use is at your own risk and subject to the conditions applicable there.

Technical third parties and advertising: To provide the service (for example hosting, e-mail delivery, real-time communication, analytics where used) and to display advertising (Google AdSense and, where applicable, comparable providers), processors, advertising partners or sub-processors may be used; details on categories of recipients, cookies, advertising and third-country transfers can be found in the privacy policy at /privacy.

To the extent permitted by law, the provider is liable only for intent and gross negligence; in cases of slight negligence only for breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) and limited to the typical, foreseeable damage. Liability for slight negligence in the event of data loss is limited to the typical restoration effort, provided you have backed up the data properly.

No liability for user content: The provider is not liable as a guarantor for the accuracy or lawfulness of other users' content. Under the statutory rules (including §§ 7 ff. DDG, formerly TMG where applicable) it is obliged to remove or block unlawful content once it has knowledge of it, without thereby assuming an obligation to review all content in advance.

No warranty for game results: Scores, leaderboards and game states serve entertainment purposes; there is no legal claim to particular rankings or to permanent storage unless expressly promised otherwise.

Mandatory statutory liability rules (for example for personal injury, product liability, fraudulent concealment of defects) remain unaffected.

Ordinary cancellation by you: You may stop using the service at any time and — where the Platform provides for it — delete your user account via the functions described there. The legal consequences for data deletion and retention follow from the privacy policy and from statutory obligations.

Termination / suspension by the provider: The provider may temporarily suspend access or terminate without notice in the event of serious or repeated breaches of these terms, of statutory prohibitions or in the event of abuse, to the extent permitted by law. A prior warning is given where reasonable and not futile.

Consequences: Upon effective termination the user relationship ends; statutory retention obligations (for example evidence) may require longer storage, as described in the privacy policy.

No claim to continuation: There is no claim to continuation of the Platform or to restoration of deleted game states after termination, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.

Applicable law: The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), unless mandatory consumer protection law of another state takes precedence (for example for consumers habitually resident in another EEA member state).

Place of jurisdiction (B2C): Consumers may sue the provider at the provider's registered office or — where legally permissible — at the consumer's general place of jurisdiction. Claims by the provider against consumers follow the statutory rules on jurisdiction (in particular § 29 ZPO in conjunction with EU regulations where applicable).

Place of jurisdiction (B2B): If the user is an entrepreneur, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with these terms is the provider's registered office (Langenfeld / the competent court under the general rules), to the extent permitted by law.

Out-of-court dispute resolution: The European Commission provides an ODR platform for online dispute resolution (https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/). We are not obliged and not willing to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board, unless we are bound to do so by law or voluntarily in an individual case and say so.

Contact: We resolve disputes where possible through direct dialogue; please contact [email protected] (see also the imprint).

Severability: Should any provision of these terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The invalid provision is replaced by the legally permissible rule that comes closest to its economic purpose.

Language: The German version of these terms is authoritative where translations are provided. This English text is a convenience translation.

Electronic communication: Declarations (for example notices of changes, security notifications) may be sent by e-mail to the address given at registration or via messages within the Platform, to the extent permitted by law.

The provider may amend these terms. Users are informed of material changes in an appropriate manner (for example at the next login, by e-mail or by a notice on the Platform). If consumers do not object within a reasonable period communicated to them and continue to use the Platform, this may — to the extent permitted by law — be treated as consent; for material changes to the consumer's detriment, statutory rights to object and to terminate apply.

The current version published on the Platform at /terms applies.
