oQuiz Terms of Service

Effective date: 31 October 2026
Version: 1.8

Version 1.8 describes aggregated statistics for organisations (Section 11.5): comparison figures between organisations, and statistics on question quality and on improving the Service, are built from answers without names, never from free text or the text of quizzes, a comparison figure needs at least five organisations and one hundred answers, and an organisation can opt out of comparison figures in its settings. Version 1.7 describes how long names are kept in an organisation's training: a person's name and email address are removed two years after they last took part, and their answers are kept without a name. Version 1.6 describes how we keep what you write when you share game stats: it is stored on our server instead of being sent to our analytics provider (Sections 6.1, 6.3 and 11.2), and training sessions are kept for as long as the organisation exists. Version 1.5 describes buying on the web: the Unlock, More quizzes, the Eventpass, the Host Pass and business licences can be bought on join.oquiz.app, where our reseller Paddle sells them to you (Section 5). It also describes the Host Pass, a pass that renews every year, and the refund policy at oquiz.app/refunds. Version 1.4 described the Eventpass and business licences, quizzes written by AI, the voice and the mascot, signing in with Microsoft or an organisation's single sign-on, and games saved to your Account. Each applies from the first time you use the feature.

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a legally binding agreement between you and House of Buttons AB, a limited liability company (aktiebolag) established in Sweden ("oQuiz", "we", "us" or "our"), governing your access to and use of the oQuiz application, the websites oquiz.app and join.oquiz.app, and the services made available through them.

Please read these Terms carefully. By downloading, installing or using the App, by making a purchase within it, or by creating an account or joining a shared quiz, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

If you are a consumer, nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any right you have under mandatory consumer protection law in the country where you live. Where these Terms conflict with such law, the law prevails.

2. Who We Are and How to Contact Us

The Service is provided by:

House of Buttons AB
Nina Einhorns gata 7
113 66 Stockholm, Sweden
Company registration number (organisationsnummer) 559607-0911
Email: hello@oquiz.app

You can reach us at hello@oquiz.app for any question about these Terms, the App, a purchase, a report about content, or your Account. You can also report a problem with a specific question directly from inside the App.

hello@oquiz.app is also our single point of contact for users and for authorities under the EU Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065). You can write to us in Swedish or English.

3. Eligibility and Age

3.1 Using the App. The App is a party game intended for use by adults and by children under adult supervision. Certain categories in the App are written for children aged approximately six to twelve; they are meant to be played together with an adult and do not change who may enter into these Terms.

3.2 Contracting capacity. To accept these Terms, make a purchase or create an Account, you must be of the age of majority in the place where you live, or have the consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf. A parent or guardian who allows a minor to use the App is responsible for that use.

3.3 Accounts. You must be at least 13 years old to create an Account. Do not create an Account for a child under 13, and do not sign in with another person's account at Apple, Google, Microsoft or an organisation.

3.4 Purchases by minors. Purchases made through the App Store are subject to Apple's own terms and parental controls, including Apple's "Ask to Buy" feature. We do not process payments and cannot approve or reverse a purchase.

4. Licence to Use the App

4.1 Grant. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to download, install and use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by the App Store usage rules, including Apple's Family Sharing where it is available for the App.

4.2 Restrictions. Except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits it, you may not:

(a) copy, modify, translate, adapt or create derivative works of the App or the Library;
(b) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the App;
(c) extract, scrape, export, publish, redistribute, sell, rent, lend or sublicense the Library or any substantial part of it, whether in its original form or rewritten, including for the purpose of training a machine-learning model;
(d) circumvent, disable or interfere with the Unlock, any licensing mechanism, or any security feature of the Service;
(e) use the App's local network features, the Shared Quiz Service or any of our servers other than through the App or the web pages we provide, or in a way that could damage, overload or impair them;
(f) remove or alter any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notice; or
(g) use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in breach of Section 10.

4.3 Reservation of rights. The App and the Library are licensed, not sold. We and our licensors retain all right, title and interest in and to the App and the Library, including all intellectual property rights. All rights not expressly granted to you in these Terms are reserved.

4.4 Updates. We may release updates to the App from time to time. Some updates may be required for the App to continue to work with the Shared Quiz Service, with Game Links or with new versions of Apple's operating systems. Local Play does not depend on our servers and continues to work under the version of the App you have installed.

4.5 Pre-release versions. If you use a beta or pre-release version of the App through Apple's TestFlight, that version is provided for testing only, may contain defects, and is additionally subject to Apple's TestFlight terms.

5. What is free, and what you can buy

5.1 What is free. The App includes a free general-knowledge category (and, where available in your language, a free general category for children) that can be played without any purchase, with up to eight teams in a game. The remaining categories are visible but locked until you buy the Unlock or have a pass that opens them.

5.2 What you can buy. You can buy:

(a) the Unlock, once, which opens the full Library for good and includes one quiz written by AI (Section 6.10);

(b) More quizzes, ten quizzes written by AI, which you can buy once you have the Unlock and which never expire (Section 5.6);

(d) the Host Pass, for people who host often: up to 100 teams in every game for a year, renewed automatically every year until you cancel (Section 5.9); and

(e) business licences, sold to organisations (Section 5.11).

What each purchase includes, its price and, for the Host Pass, how it renews are shown before you pay. Prices for consumers include VAT or sales tax where it applies. Prices for business licences exclude VAT.

5.3 Where you buy, and who sells to you. You can buy in two places, and the seller depends on where you buy:

(a) In the App, through the App Store. Apple is the merchant of record: Apple sells the purchase to you, collects payment, issues the receipt, applies any taxes and handles refund requests, under Apple's terms. If you want a refund, use Apple's "Report a Problem". Any statutory right of withdrawal you have for an App Store purchase is exercised through Apple.

(b) On the web, on join.oquiz.app, when you are signed in to your Account. Our online reseller Paddle is the merchant of record: Paddle sells the purchase to you, collects payment, issues the receipt, applies any taxes, and handles refunds and payment questions, under Paddle's Buyer Terms (https://www.paddle.com/legal/buyer-terms), which apply to the payment alongside these Terms. Your bank or card statement shows the payment as PADDLE.NET and OQUIZ. Refunds for purchases on the web follow our refund policy at oquiz.app/refunds and Paddle's refund policy.

In both cases we provide the Service you have bought, and these Terms apply to your use of it. We never receive or store your card details.

5.4 Your Account and your purchases. A purchase on the web belongs to the Account you were signed in with. A purchase in the App belongs to the Apple Account used to make it, and, when you are signed in, it is also linked to your Account. A purchase linked to your Account applies wherever you sign in with that Account: on join.oquiz.app, in the App on your iPhone and iPad, and on Apple TV. App Store purchases can also be restored on devices signed in with the same Apple Account and, where we have enabled it, shared with your family through Apple's Family Sharing; web purchases cannot be shared through Family Sharing. If you sign in with a different method (for example Google on the web and Apple in the App), you get a different Account, unless you first add that sign-in to your Account in Settings. Two existing Accounts cannot be merged (Section 9.2).

5.5 What the Unlock includes. The Unlock opens the Library as it exists from time to time and includes one quiz written by AI. It is not a subscription: it does not renew and nothing is charged again. It does not include an Account, Apple Music, any third-party subscription, or any content that we clearly mark as separate. We may add categories, questions and languages to the Library; we may also correct, rewrite or remove individual questions.

5.6 More quizzes. More quizzes gives ten quizzes written by AI. They never expire. Quizzes that run out sooner, such as those in a pass, are used first, and More quizzes last. Asking for more questions in a quiz counts as one quiz. More quizzes cannot be shared through Family Sharing.

5.7 Accuracy, and no use as a source. We take care that the questions in the Library are correct and are reviewed before release. Even so, a quiz library of this size will contain occasional errors, and general knowledge changes over time. We do not warrant that every question, answer or explanation is accurate, complete or current. If you find a mistake, use "Report a problem" in the App or write to hello@oquiz.app. The Library is provided for entertainment. It is not advice of any kind and should not be relied on for educational, professional, medical, legal or financial decisions.

5.8 The Eventpass. An Eventpass is for one event. For 30 days from the purchase, a game you host can have up to 100 teams, all categories are open, and the features shown for the pass when you buy it are included, such as the builder's slides, themes, word clouds and polls, your own logo and colours on the big screen and on the teams' phones, the results as a PDF, and ten quizzes written by AI while the pass is valid. It then ends on its own: it does not renew, and nothing is charged again. It cannot be shared through Family Sharing.

5.9 The Host Pass. The Host Pass is a yearly pass for people who host often. While it is valid, a game you host can have up to 100 teams, all categories are open, the builder's slides, themes, word clouds and polls and the results as a PDF are included, and you get ten quizzes written by AI each calendar month. The Host Pass does not include your own logo and colours; for those, use an Eventpass or a business licence.

(a) It renews automatically. The Host Pass is a subscription. At the end of each year it renews for another year and the price is charged to the same payment method, until you cancel. The date it renews is shown in Settings › Purchase.

(b) We remind you. About a week before it renews, we email you a reminder at the address you gave when you bought it (for an App Store purchase, the address Sign in with Apple gave us).

(c) Cancelling. You can cancel at any time before the renewal date: for a Host Pass bought on the web, in Settings › Purchase › "Manage or cancel" on join.oquiz.app, or through the link in Paddle's emails; for a Host Pass bought in the App, in your Apple Account's subscriptions. Cancelling stops the next renewal. The pass stays valid until the end of the year you have paid for, and cancelling does not by itself give a refund for that year (see oquiz.app/refunds).

(d) Deleting your Account cancels a Host Pass bought on the web. It is not renewed again, and the year you have paid for is not refunded. A Host Pass bought in the App is cancelled in your Apple Account's subscriptions; deleting your Account does not cancel it.

(e) Price changes. If we change the price of the Host Pass, we tell you by email at least 30 days before the renewal at the new price, and you can cancel before then.

5.10 Using passes and More quizzes. A pass or More quizzes applies to the Account or the Apple Account it was bought with. The number of teams applies to games you host. We may limit how many quizzes written by AI a purchase includes, as shown before you buy.

5.11 Business licences. An organisation can buy business licences, each for one person who makes and runs quizzes, for a year at a time. Licences are sold to organisations, not to consumers, on the web through Paddle (Section 5.3(b)), and renew every year until the organisation's administrator cancels them in the panel's Organisation page or through Paddle's emails, or the organisation is deleted. Licences added during the year are charged for the rest of that year. Separate terms that we agree with an organisation apply instead of these Terms where they differ.

5.12 The voice and the mascot. The App and join.oquiz.app can read questions aloud and let the mascot comment on a game. The speech is made by AI (ElevenLabs), and oQuiz writes the mascot's lines in advance. The voice is off until you turn it on. What is included depends on what you have bought.

5.13 Right of withdrawal. If you are a consumer in the European Union, the European Economic Area, Switzerland or the United Kingdom, you normally have 14 days to withdraw from a purchase made at a distance. A purchase gives you digital content and a digital service at once. When you buy on the web, you ask us to start immediately and acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal once the purchase has been made available to you, to the extent the law allows. Our refund policy at oquiz.app/refunds still lets you get your money back in the cases it describes. For App Store purchases, Apple's terms apply.

5.14 Until payment opens on the web. Until payment through Paddle opens on join.oquiz.app, a purchase or a business licence there is a free trial with no payment. A trial gives no right to keep what it opens, and it may end when payment opens.

6. Your Own Categories and User Content

6.1 Creating your own questions. The App lets you write your own categories and questions, and add photographs, images, animated images, sounds from the App's built-in sound library, recordings of up to 15 seconds that you make with the device's microphone, and references to songs. Content that you keep only on your own device is stored only on that device and is not sent to us, except that: when you play it in a game with a Game Link, its questions, images and recordings pass through our servers to the teams in that game (Section 8.6); when you are signed in, a finished game with teams is saved to your Account with its questions (Section 7.1); and if you have turned on statistics, a copy of your own quizzes is stored on our server (Section 11.2).

6.2 Ownership. You retain all rights that you hold in your User Content. We do not claim ownership of it.

6.3 Licence to us. When you upload User Content to the Shared Quiz Service, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, resize, transcode, display, play, and transmit that User Content, solely to the extent necessary to operate the Shared Quiz Service and to deliver the User Content to the members of the quiz to which it belongs, including for download to their devices for offline play. This licence lasts for as long as the User Content remains in the Shared Quiz Service and ends when the content or the quiz is deleted, except that copies which members have already downloaded to their own devices are outside our control and are not recalled. We will not use your User Content for advertising or for training machine-learning models. We use it only to provide the Service to you and the members of your quiz, including sending it to the service providers named in the Privacy Policy when you use a feature that needs them, such as quizzes written by AI, and, if you have turned on statistics, to see how the Service is used and to improve it (Section 11.2).

6.3a Content kept with statistics. If you have turned on statistics, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store a copy of your own quizzes, the names of the teams and the people a quiz is about, and the topics you give for quizzes written by AI, and to analyse them to improve the Service, for example to see which questions work and what people make quizzes about. We do not publish this content, show it to other users, use it for advertising, or use it to train machine-learning models. The licence ends when you turn statistics off, when we delete the copy three years after your device last sent anything, or when you ask us to delete it, as the Privacy Policy describes.

6.4 Licence to other members. By adding User Content to a shared quiz, you allow the other members of that quiz to view it, play it, and keep a play copy on their own devices, for their personal, non-commercial use.

6.5 Your responsibility. You are solely responsible for your User Content. You represent that you have all rights, licences and permissions needed to use it and to grant the licences in this Section, and that your User Content does not infringe or misappropriate anyone's intellectual property, privacy, publicity or other rights, and does not breach Section 10.

6.6 Photographs and recordings of people. If you add a photograph that shows an identifiable person, or a recording in which a person can be heard, you are responsible for having that person's permission to share it with the members of the quiz. The Shared Quiz Service removes location metadata from uploaded images and embedded metadata from uploaded recordings, but the image or recording itself remains available to the quiz's members.

6.7 Third-party media. Animated images are provided through a third-party search service and are subject to that provider's terms; we apply that provider's strictest content filter, but we do not control its results. Songs are played through Apple Music and require an active Apple Music subscription on the device that plays them; we do not copy, store or distribute any song. Sounds in the built-in sound library are provided under public-domain or equivalent licences.

6.8 Suitability for children. If you play your own or a shared quiz with children, you are responsible for ensuring that the content is suitable for them. We do not review User Content in advance.

6.9 Feedback. If you send us suggestions or feedback about the Service, you agree that we may use them without any obligation to you.

6.10 Quizzes written by AI. With an Account you can ask oQuiz to write questions from a topic, a text or a document that you give it. The questions are written by an AI model (Claude, from Anthropic). They can be wrong or unsuitable, and we do not review them first, so read them before you play them. What you send is processed as described in the Privacy Policy. Send only material you are entitled to share, and nothing sensitive about other people. The questions you keep are your User Content. How many quizzes can be written for you depends on what you have: one with the Unlock, ten with More quizzes, ten with each Eventpass while it is valid, ten a month with the Host Pass, and 30 a month for each person with a business licence.

7. Local Storage, Leaderboards and Game Data

7.1 Scores, leaderboards, streaks, achievements, seasons, player profiles, seen-question history and paused games are stored on your device. They are not uploaded to us, with two exceptions. During a game with a Game Link the names and scores pass through our servers to the teams in that game (Section 8.6). And when you are signed in, a finished game with teams is saved to your Account, with the quiz's name, the questions, and each team's name, avatar, score and place, so that you can find it again and the teams get a results page; you can delete it there. If you delete the App, or remove an entry or profile inside it, that data is deleted and cannot be recovered by us.

7.2 If you choose to link a player to Apple's Game Center, achievements you have earned are reported to Game Center under Apple's terms. Reporting an achievement to Game Center cannot be undone by us.

7.3 The "daily question" widget and reminders are optional. Reminders are sent only if you turn them on and stop automatically after a limited period if you do not open the App.

8. Local Play, Guest Play, Remote Play and External Displays

8.1 Guest Play. When you host a game where each team uses its own phone, the teams in the room join by scanning the QR code the App shows and answer in their phone's browser. By default the QR code is a Game Link, and the game passes through our servers (Section 8.6). If you are not signed in or have no internet connection, the App instead runs a small web server on your device so that people on the same Wi-Fi network can join. That server runs on your device, not on ours; the names and answers guests submit through it are sent to your device only, and we do not operate, monitor or have access to it. If you also invite teams with a Game Link, those teams see the names, avatars and scores of all teams, including the guests on your Wi-Fi, through our servers.

8.2 Your network. Guest Play on your device's own server relies on the local network you are connected to. You are responsible for choosing to host on a given network and for whom you allow to scan the code. We make no promise that a local network is secure, and we recommend not hosting on public networks.

8.3 External displays. The App can show the game on a television or other display through AirPlay, a wired connection, or an Apple TV. Such display is subject to the terms of the equipment and services you use.

8.4 Watch companion. Where available, the Apple Watch companion acts as a remote for the host device only and stores no game data of its own.

8.5 Remote Play. A host can let teams that are not in the same room join, with a Game Link or through SharePlay in a FaceTime call. The game itself runs on the host's device, as in Local Play. Teams that join through Remote Play do not need an Account. They play the questions the host has chosen, including categories the host has unlocked, in the games the host runs while they are connected, without a purchase of their own. Songs from Apple Music are not played in a game with Remote Play teams.

8.6 Game Links. You need an Account to create a Game Link. Our servers at join.oquiz.app then pass the game between the teams' phones and the host's device: team names, avatars and answers from the teams, and from the host's device the questions, their images, sound clips and recordings, the timer, the right answer once it is shown, and the names, avatars and scores of all teams in the game, in the room or not. Our servers do not keep the game. A Game Link works while the host's device is connected, for up to 48 hours, or until the host deletes the Account. A game has at most eight teams, or up to 100 teams with an Eventpass (Section 5.8) or the Host Pass (Section 5.9) and up to 500 with a business licence (Section 5.11). We limit how many Game Links an Account can create each day, how many requests a network address can make, and how fast new teams can join from the same address, and we may change those limits.

8.7 Who can join. A Game Link works like a key: anyone who has it, or who scans its QR code, can open the game while the link works. Share it only with the people you want to play with, and do not publish it. As host you decide who plays. In the lobby you can remove a team, but anyone with the link can join again while it works. We are not responsible for who joins through a link that you have shared or a QR code that you have shown.

8.8 Content in a Remote Play game. As host, you are responsible for the content of a Remote Play game, including User Content from your own or shared quizzes, and for being entitled to show it to the teams in it; Sections 6.5 and 6.6 apply. When you host a game with a Game Link, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to transmit the content of that game, including your User Content, to the teams in the game, and to store it temporarily for that purpose, solely to run that game and only while the Game Link works. The last sentence of Section 6.3 applies to that content. Teams may use what they see and hear only to play the game, and Section 4.2(c) applies to the Library.

8.9 SharePlay. Remote Play through SharePlay runs over Apple's FaceTime and SharePlay and is subject to Apple's terms. It does not pass through our servers and does not need an Account. Each device in the call that joins as a team needs the App.

8.10 Availability of Game Links. Game Links depend on the network, on our servers, and on the host's device staying online with the App open. The part of our servers that runs a Game Link may be located outside the European Union. We do not guarantee that a Game Link will work without interruption. If it stops working, the game on the host's device is not lost and can continue; teams that can no longer reach it miss the questions until the link works again. We may change or discontinue Game Links in accordance with Section 14.1.

9. The Shared Quiz Service and Accounts

9.1 What it is. The Shared Quiz Service lets a person create a quiz, invite others by link, and let them add and edit questions, images and recordings together. When the game is played, a member downloads a copy of the quiz to their device and hosts it with the App; the game itself runs on that device.

9.2 Account. You need an Account to create or join a shared quiz, to create a Game Link, which the App does when you round up teams that join with their own phones, to host a game on join.oquiz.app, to have quizzes written by AI, and to be part of an organisation. Joining a game through a Game Link or SharePlay does not require an Account. Playing the App, buying the Unlock, and creating your own questions on your device do not require an Account. An Account is free. It is created by signing in with Apple, Google or Microsoft, in the App or on join.oquiz.app, or through your organisation's single sign-on. One Account may have several sign-in methods linked; two existing Accounts cannot be merged.

9.3 Your Account information. We store an identifier of our own, the display name you choose, and the avatar and background assigned to you. Your sign-in provider's identifier is stored only to recognise you when you sign in again. The Privacy Policy describes the other data an Account can hold. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in with your provider secure and for all activity that takes place under your Account. Tell us promptly at hello@oquiz.app if you believe your Account has been used without your permission.

9.4 Roles. Each shared quiz has one or more owners and may have editors. Any member may download the quiz and host a game. Only an owner may remove a member, transfer ownership, or generate a new invite link. The last remaining owner must either transfer ownership to another member or delete the quiz; a quiz cannot be left without an owner.

9.5 Invite links. An invite link works like a key: anyone who has it can join the quiz until an owner replaces it. Do not share invite links publicly. We are not responsible for who joins a quiz through a link that you or another member have distributed.

9.6 Removed members. If a member is removed or leaves, the questions that member added remain in the quiz unless an owner deletes them. Members who have already downloaded the quiz keep their downloaded copy.

9.7 Limits. A shared quiz may have at most eight members and fifty questions. We may change these limits with reasonable notice. Editing requires a network connection; the App is designed so that unsaved text is not silently overwritten, but we cannot guarantee that a draft is never lost.

9.8 Reporting content. Any member may report a question from inside the quiz, and anyone may notify us of content they believe to be unlawful or in breach of these Terms by writing to hello@oquiz.app with the quiz name, a description of the content, the reason for the notice, and your contact details. We will review notices in good faith and may remove or disable access to content, and may inform the person who added it of the action taken and the reason, where the law requires us to do so and where it is practical.

9.9 Availability. The Shared Quiz Service depends on the network and on our servers, which are hosted with a third-party infrastructure provider. Its database is in the European Union, and the part that lets several people edit a quiz at once may run outside it. We aim to keep it available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may suspend it for maintenance, security or legal reasons. Downloaded quizzes and Local Play continue to work without it.

9.10 Deleting your Account. You may delete your Account at any time from inside the App, on join.oquiz.app, or by writing to hello@oquiz.app. Deleting your Account removes your profile, your memberships and the games saved to it. Questions, photographs and recordings you added to quizzes you do not own remain in those quizzes unless you delete them first. Quizzes of which you are the sole owner are deleted with your Account unless you first transfer ownership, except quizzes that belong to your organisation, which stay with it. Game Links you have created stop working. Deletion of an Account does not affect the Unlock, which belongs to your Apple Account, or any content stored only on your device.

9.11 Discontinuation. We may discontinue the Shared Quiz Service. If we do, we will give at least 30 days' notice in the App or on oquiz.app where reasonably possible, and you will be able to download your quizzes to your device during that period. The App and the Unlock are not affected by discontinuation of the Shared Quiz Service.

10. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service, and not to add or share any User Content, that:

(a) is unlawful, or that infringes any copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity or other right of any person;
(b) is defamatory, threatening, harassing, or abusive, or that incites hatred or violence against any person or group;
(c) is pornographic or sexually explicit, or that sexualises minors in any way;
(d) exposes another person's private information without their consent, including photographs or recordings of identifiable people who have not agreed to be included;
(e) contains malicious code, or is designed to interfere with or gain unauthorised access to the Service, another user's device, or any network;
(f) impersonates any person, or misrepresents your affiliation with any person or organisation;
(g) is intended to promote or sell goods or services, or that constitutes unsolicited advertising;
(h) attempts to discover, extract or reproduce the Library beyond the personal use permitted by Section 4;
(i) uses automated means to access the Shared Quiz Service or a Game Link other than through the App or the web pages we provide; or
(j) uses a Game Link to disrupt a game, for example by joining many teams or by joining again after the host has removed your team.

Names that teams and players type when they join a game, play a game afterwards or suggest a question, and words written in a word cloud, are checked automatically against a list of offensive words, and a name or word on the list is refused. The host can also rename or remove a team and hide words. We do not otherwise check content before it is shown, and a person reviews each notice about content (Section 9.8).

We may investigate suspected breaches and take any action we consider appropriate, including removing content, suspending or terminating Accounts, and reporting to law enforcement, in accordance with Section 15.

11. Privacy and Analytics

11.1 Our Privacy Policy at https://oquiz.app/privacy explains what personal data we process, why, on what legal basis, for how long, and what rights you have. It forms part of these Terms.

11.2 The App collects product-analytics data only if you turn on "Share game stats". This is off by default. The analytics events then contain no names and no text you wrote. The names of the teams in your games and the text of your own quizzes are instead stored on our server (Section 6.3a), as the Privacy Policy describes. You can turn it off at any time in the App's settings, after which no further data is sent and what our server kept from your device is deleted. The web panel on join.oquiz.app and the site oquiz.app ask their own question in the same way. The App does not display advertising and does not track you across other companies' apps or websites.

11.3 Guest Play, Remote Play and the Shared Quiz Service involve the names and content that you and other people choose to enter. If you enter another person's name, image or voice, you are responsible for being entitled to do so.

11.4 Paddle. When you buy on the web, Paddle receives what it needs to sell to you and take payment, and handles it as an independent controller under its own privacy notice (https://www.paddle.com/legal/privacy). Our Privacy Policy describes what we receive from Paddle.

11.5 Aggregated statistics. This Section applies to organisations that use oQuiz for business. The organisation allows us to use Customer Data to produce aggregated and anonymised statistics in order to:

(a) compile comparison figures by area of knowledge, industry, organisation size and region;

(b) measure and improve the quality and difficulty of questions, and the suggestions made by AI, including whether a suggestion was accepted, edited or rejected; and

For this we use answers, results, times, question ids and decisions about AI suggestions, never the text of the organisation's quizzes, free text or names. Comparison figures between organisations are built only from questions in oQuiz's own tests, never from the organisation's own questions. We do not train AI models on Customer Data.

The statistics are produced only in a form that cannot be traced, directly or indirectly, to the organisation, a participant or a single group. A figure that compares organisations is built from at least five organisations and at least one hundred answers. An organisation is counted only if it has at least ten answers, and every organisation carries the same weight. A figure is held back when it could be worked out from other figures. We never try to find out who is behind the statistics. We document the method and review it at least once a year, and anyone with whom we share statistics that are not public is bound not to try either.

When we produce the statistics, we are an independent controller of the Customer Data we use for them, on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the Service. For everything else we remain the organisation's processor under the Data Processing Agreement. Answers count only once an administrator has accepted the Data Processing Agreement in the version that refers to this Section, and only answers given from the date this Section takes effect.

An administrator can opt out of comparison figures in the organisation's settings. The organisation's answers are then left out of the next calculation, and the organisation no longer sees comparison figures. The statistics in (b) and (c) are part of the Service and cannot be opted out of. Statistics already produced stay as they are after an opt-out and after the organisation's licences have ended. We never produce new statistics from data we have deleted.

12. Third-Party Services

12.1 The Service works together with services provided by others, including Apple (the App Store, Game Center, Apple Music, Sign in with Apple, AirPlay, FaceTime, SharePlay and TestFlight), Paddle (purchases on the web), Google (Sign in with Google), Microsoft (sign-in with a Microsoft account), Anthropic (quizzes written by AI), ElevenLabs (the voice), Klipy (animated images, stickers and clips), PostHog (statistics, if you say yes), Slack and Microsoft Teams (for organisations that connect them), and our infrastructure provider, Cloudflare. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, which we do not control. We are not responsible for them.

12.2 Apple Music content is available only in countries where Apple Music is offered, only with a valid Apple Music subscription on the playing device, and only while the song is available in the Apple Music catalogue. The Unlock and the passes do not include, and we do not sell, any Apple Music subscription.

12.3 The App includes software, fonts, flags and sounds licensed from third parties under open-source or public-domain licences. The relevant notices are available in the App or at oquiz.app and are incorporated here by reference.

13. Intellectual Property and Trademarks

13.1 "oQuiz", the oQuiz logo, and the design of the App are trademarks or trade dress of House of Buttons AB. You may not use them without our prior written permission, except to refer to the App by name.

13.2 The Library is protected by copyright and, where applicable, database rights. The selection, arrangement and wording of the questions, the explanations, and the voice lines are our original work or are licensed to us.

13.3 If you believe that content in the Service infringes your intellectual property rights, please write to hello@oquiz.app with sufficient detail for us to identify the content and assess your claim.

14. Changes to the Service and to These Terms

14.1 Changes to the Service. We may add, change or remove features of the Service, provided that any such change does not deprive you of the essential functionality you have paid for. Where a change materially and negatively affects your use of a feature you have paid for, we will inform you in advance where reasonably possible, and you will have the rights that applicable consumer law gives you.

14.2 Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms for reasons such as changes in the law, changes in the Service, or to correct errors. If we make a material change, we will give you at least 30 days' notice by posting the updated Terms at https://oquiz.app/tos with a new effective date and, where you have an Account, by a notice in the App or on join.oquiz.app. Changes do not apply retroactively.

14.3 Your options. If you do not agree to an updated version of these Terms, you may stop using the Service and, if you have an Account, delete it before the change takes effect. If you continue to use the Shared Quiz Service or Game Links after the effective date, the updated Terms apply to that use. A version of the App that you have already installed continues to be governed by the Terms that accompanied it until you install an update that includes new Terms.

15. Suspension and Termination

15.1 By you. You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it from your devices, and you may delete your Account as described in Section 9.10.

15.2 By us. We may suspend or terminate your Account, or remove your User Content, if you materially breach these Terms, if we are required to do so by law, or if continuing to provide the Service to you would expose us or other users to legal liability or harm. Except where doing so would be unlawful or would frustrate the purpose of the action, we will notify you of the action and the reason, and give you a reasonable opportunity to respond.

15.3 Effect. On termination of your Account, your right to use the Shared Quiz Service ends. Termination of an Account does not affect your licence to use the App under Section 4 or the Unlock, unless the termination is for a breach that also entitles us to terminate that licence. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including Sections 6.3 (as to content already delivered to members), 13, 16, 17 and 18, survive.

16. Warranties and Disclaimers

16.1 Consumers. If you are a consumer, you have statutory rights in relation to digital content and digital services, including rights concerning conformity, updates and remedies. Nothing in this Section reduces those rights.

16.2 Disclaimer. Subject to Section 16.1, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, and we do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or free of errors, or that any question in the Library or any User Content is accurate.

16.3 Local networks and third parties. We give no warranty in relation to the security or performance of any network you use for Guest Play or Remote Play, or in relation to any third-party service referred to in Section 12.

17. Limitation of Liability

17.1 What we do not exclude. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including under mandatory consumer protection law.

17.2 Indirect loss. Subject to Section 17.1, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, loss of profits, loss of business, loss of data (other than data we hold for you under Section 9 and are obliged to protect), or loss of enjoyment of a game, arising out of or in connection with the Service or these Terms, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise.

17.3 Cap. Subject to Sections 17.1 and 17.2, our total aggregate liability to you arising out of or in connection with the Service and these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you have paid for the Unlock, More quizzes, Eventpasses and the Host Pass in the twelve months before the claim arose, and (b) EUR 100 or its equivalent in your local currency.

17.4 Your conduct. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to compensate us for losses, costs and reasonable legal fees that we incur as a direct result of a third-party claim arising from your User Content or from your breach of Sections 6.5 or 10, provided that we notify you of the claim promptly and do not settle it without your reasonable input. This Section does not apply to the extent that mandatory consumer law prohibits it.

18. Governing Law and Disputes

18.1 Governing law. These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, are governed by the laws of Sweden. If you are a consumer resident in another country, you also benefit from any mandatory provisions of the law of that country.

18.2 Courts. The courts of Sweden have jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of these Terms. If you are a consumer resident in a member state of the European Union, the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you may instead bring proceedings in the courts of the country in which you live, and we will bring proceedings against you only in that country.

18.3 Alternative dispute resolution. If you are a consumer in Sweden and we cannot resolve a complaint with you, you may refer it to the Swedish National Board for Consumer Disputes (Allmänna reklamationsnämnden, ARN), Box 174, 101 23 Stockholm, www.arn.se. Consumers in other countries may be able to use the consumer dispute resolution body in their own country. We are not obliged to participate in alternative dispute resolution unless the law requires it.

18.4 No mandatory arbitration; no class-action waiver. These Terms do not require you to arbitrate any dispute, and they do not prevent you from participating in any collective or representative action that the law allows.

18.5 Talk to us first. Most problems can be solved quickly. Before taking formal steps, please write to hello@oquiz.app and we will try to resolve the matter with you.

19. Terms Required by Apple

The following provisions apply because the App is distributed through the App Store, and they are in addition to the rest of these Terms.

19.1 Acknowledgement. These Terms are concluded between you and House of Buttons AB only, and not with Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content. Where these Terms give you fewer rights than Apple's standard end-user licence terms for the App Store, Apple's standard terms apply to the extent of the conflict.

19.2 Scope of licence. The licence in Section 4 is limited to a non-transferable licence to use the App on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the usage rules in Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the App may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you through Family Sharing or volume purchasing.

19.3 Maintenance and support. We are solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the App, as specified in these Terms or as required by applicable law. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the App.

19.4 Warranty. We are solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the App to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are our responsibility.

19.5 Product claims. We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession or use of it, including (a) product liability claims, (b) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and (c) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar legislation.

19.6 Intellectual property. In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of that claim.

19.7 Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that (a) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and (b) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

19.8 Developer contact. Our name and address are set out in Section 2, and our email address is hello@oquiz.app. Direct any question, complaint or claim regarding the App to us there.

19.9 Third-party terms. You must comply with any applicable third-party terms when using the App, including the terms of Apple Music, Game Center and any wireless data service.

19.10 Third-party beneficiary. Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right, and will be deemed to have accepted the right, to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

20. General

20.1 Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms that we present to you for a specific feature, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements on the same subject.

20.2 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force.

20.3 No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

20.4 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your Account without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms to a successor that acquires the Service, provided that your rights under these Terms are not reduced, and we will notify you of any such assignment.

20.5 Language. These Terms are written in English. We may provide translations for convenience. If there is any inconsistency between the English version and a translation, the English version prevails to the extent permitted by applicable law.

20.6 Contact. Questions about these Terms may be sent to hello@oquiz.app.
