Terms of Service

1. Who we are and what these terms cover

These terms are a contract between you and Chris Streames, a sole trader trading as CS Labs ("we", "us", "CS Labs"), based in Liverpool, England. They cover your use of Qwizit (the "service"): our web app for running live team quizzes at bars, clubs, cafes, halls and other venues.

By creating an account, starting a free trial or using the service, you agree to these terms and to the data processing terms in section 15. Our Privacy Notice explains how we handle personal data.

2. Business use only

Qwizit is a tool for businesses: venue owners, venue groups and freelance quizmasters. By using it you confirm that you are acting for your trade, business or profession, and not as a consumer. If you sign up for a venue or a company, you confirm you have authority to accept these terms for it, and "you" means that business.

If the law treats you as a consumer despite this, nothing in these terms takes away the rights the law gives you. In particular, you may cancel a paid subscription within 14 days of it starting. If you asked us to start straight away, we will refund what you paid less a fair amount for the time you used.

3. The service

Qwizit lets a venue run live team quizzes. You can build or import questions, schedule quizzes, show them on a big screen, and let teams join and answer on their own phones in a browser. Each venue has its own teams, styles, calendar and question history, and can switch on a public page with its next quizzes and league table.

4. Plans and pricing

One plan for everyone, priced by the number of active venues on your account. Venue owners, venue groups and freelance quizmasters pay the same price for the same number of venues. Prices are in pounds sterling (GBP) and are monthly unless stated. Prices are shown without VAT; if VAT applies, it is added at the current rate and shown on your invoice.

Adding or closing venues. Your price follows the number of active venues you run. If you add or close a venue, your subscription changes from that point, and Stripe adjusts the next invoice.

Annual billing. Pay for ten months and get twelve: two months free. For example, annual Single is £750 a year. Annual billing is arranged by email with us.

Founding offer. The first 25 accounts to sign up get 30% off the Single and Multi plan price for their first 12 months of paid subscription. We will show the discounted price before you subscribe. After those 12 months the price moves to the list price at that time, and we will remind you at least 30 days before it does. The offer is one per business, cannot be transferred or exchanged for cash, does not apply to Group plans, and ends for new sign-ups once 25 accounts have claimed it.

5. Free trial

New accounts get a 30-day free trial. No card is needed to start, and nothing is charged when the trial ends: a paid subscription only starts if you choose a plan and pay through Stripe. The app shows how many trial days are left. If you do not choose a plan, you can still sign in and see your data, but you cannot start new quizzes until you subscribe. One free trial per business.

6. Billing and renewal

7. Cancellation and refunds

8. Your account

9. Acceptable use

You are responsible for your account and for the quizzes you run. You must not:

The venue is responsible for its quiz and for what happens at it, including keeping it fair, safe and suitable for the people taking part. We may remove offensive team names or content, and suspend accounts that break these rules (section 13).

Music licensing is the venue's responsibility. If you play music, including Qwizit's sounds or your own music between questions, the venue must hold the licences it needs (for example TheMusicLicence from PPL PRS in the UK). We do not supply music licensing or cover it for you.

10. Your content and the question licence

You keep ownership of the questions, answers, images and other content you create or import. You give us a licence to store, copy, display and process that content only as needed to run the service for you: for example to show questions on the big screen and on players' phones, and on any public page you switch on. This licence ends when your content is deleted, except for copies in backups until they are overwritten.

Questions and question packs we provide (including the built-in question bank) remain ours or our licensors'. They are licensed to you for use inside Qwizit only while you have an account. You may not copy, export, publish, resell or reuse them anywhere else, including in another quiz app or offline. We check questions with care, but we cannot promise every answer is correct; the host has the final say on the night.

If someone makes a claim against us because content you uploaded infringes their rights, or because you did not hold a licence you needed (such as a music licence), you will cover our reasonable costs of dealing with that claim.

11. Availability and support

We aim to keep Qwizit running and we take reasonable care, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service and we do not offer a service level agreement. We may need maintenance downtime, which we will try to schedule away from typical quiz times and announce in advance where we can. Things outside our control, such as a venue's internet connection, players' phones or a failure at our hosting provider, can stop a quiz from running.

Support is by email at hello@cslabs.uk, on a reasonable-efforts basis.

12. Changes to these terms and prices

We may change these terms or our prices. For a change that affects you materially, we will give you at least 30 days' notice by email and say what is changing. If you do not agree, you can cancel before the change takes effect and you will not be charged under the new terms. A price change takes effect from your first renewal after the notice period. Changes needed for legal or security reasons, or that do not disadvantage you, may take effect sooner. For an annual subscription, a price change applies only from your next annual renewal.

13. Suspension and ending the contract

14. Our liability

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be limited by law.

Subject to that:

15. Data processing terms

When you run quizzes, you decide which teams, results and content to collect and whether to publish them, so for that venue and quiz data you are the controller and we are your processor. Personal data about you as an account holder, our billing records and our security records are ours as controller, as explained in the Privacy Notice. For the data we process for you, we will:

The data covers team names, team colours, answers, scores, league results, uploaded images, and the names and email addresses of staff hosts you add. It relates to players, staff hosts and anyone named in your content, and is processed for as long as you use Qwizit. You must have a lawful basis for the venue data you collect and publish, and you must not put sensitive personal data into Qwizit.

16. General

17. Complaints, governing law and courts

If something goes wrong, please email hello@cslabs.uk first and we will try to sort it out quickly.

These terms, and any dispute about them or about Qwizit, are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
