Terms of use

Using the site

Use FactBurst Quiz lawfully and respectfully. Do not attempt to disrupt the service, access accounts that are not yours, or submit harmful or abusive content.

Accounts

Keep your login details secure and provide accurate information when creating an account. We may restrict accounts that breach these terms.

Quiz content

Quiz questions and explanations are provided for general information and entertainment. While reasonable care is taken, FactBurst does not guarantee that every item is error-free or suitable for every purpose.

Changes

These terms may be updated as the site develops. The current version is published on this page.

Quizzes, scores and XP

FactBurst may record quiz attempts, scores, XP, levels and related activity for signed-in users so that account features can work. XP and level information is part of the FactBurst account experience and has no cash value and cannot be exchanged for money or transferred to another user.

Comments and user submissions

If you post comments or other content, you are responsible for what you submit. Do not submit unlawful, abusive, threatening, defamatory, discriminatory, spam or deliberately misleading material. FactBurst may moderate, remove or restrict content or accounts where necessary to operate the service safely.

Acceptable use

You must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to accounts, APIs, databases or administration areas, interfere with the service, abuse automated endpoints, bypass access controls, or use FactBurst to distribute malicious code or unlawful material.

Availability and third-party services

FactBurst may change, suspend or discontinue features when necessary. The website may also depend on third-party services such as hosting, email delivery, advertising and external video platforms. Those services are subject to their own terms and policies.

FactBurst Live quizzes

FactBurst Live lets authorised hosts create and manage live or scheduled quiz rooms. Depending on the room settings, participants may join using a room code and display name without creating a FactBurst account. You are responsible for using a suitable display name and keeping any room or invitation link you receive private where appropriate.

Hosts may set room rules, manage participants, appoint chat moderators where available, lock rooms, remove participants, cancel scheduled quizzes and end sessions. A removed participant may be able to rejoin unless the host or an authorised moderator has banned them. Bans and other moderation measures may be used to protect participants and the service.

Do not harass, threaten, impersonate, discriminate against, or deliberately disrupt other participants. Do not use chat to post unlawful, abusive, hateful, sexually explicit, private or otherwise inappropriate material, or to spam, cheat, exploit a technical weakness or interfere with a quiz. Messages may be reported and, where the feature is available, reviewed, deleted or acted on by the host or an authorised moderator.

Quiz answers, scores, team totals and leaderboards are provided for gameplay and entertainment. We take reasonable steps to calculate and display results, but technical faults, connectivity problems, invalid submissions or other interruptions may affect a session or its results. Do not treat scores or rankings as an official certification or a guarantee of a prize unless a separate, explicit set of terms says otherwise.

Scheduled quizzes may be changed or cancelled, including by the host. FactBurst Live depends on internet connectivity, hosting and other technical services, so uninterrupted availability is not guaranteed. We may restrict access or suspend a room where reasonably necessary for safety, security, maintenance, legal compliance or service operation. Nothing in this section limits any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Intellectual property

Unless stated otherwise, the FactBurst website, branding, design, software and original editorial material are owned by or licensed to the people who operate FactBurst and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may use the website for personal, lawful purposes. You must not copy, republish, sell, or commercially exploit substantial parts of the site or its content without permission, except where the law allows it.

Accuracy and educational content

FactBurst is provided for general educational and entertainment purposes. We aim to make quiz questions and explanations useful and accurate, but content may contain errors or become outdated. It is not professional, medical, legal, financial or other specialist advice. Please contact us if you spot a factual error.

Account security and termination

You are responsible for keeping your sign-in details secure and for activity carried out through your account, except where applicable law provides otherwise. Contact us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access. We may restrict, suspend or close accounts for serious or repeated breaches, security risks, unlawful activity, abuse or where required by law. Where reasonable and appropriate, we will provide an explanation and a way to contact us about the decision.

Premium memberships and payments

If Premium memberships are offered, the price, billing interval, included benefits and any applicable conditions will be shown before you commit to a purchase. Payments may be handled by a third-party payment provider, such as Stripe, under its own terms and privacy policy. Cancellation, renewal, refunds and any statutory consumer rights will be explained in the checkout or membership information applicable to your purchase. Nothing in these Terms removes rights that cannot legally be excluded. Premium availability and benefits may change prospectively, subject to applicable law and any existing subscription commitments.

Service changes and availability

We work to keep FactBurst available, but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access. We may maintain, update, suspend or change features for operational, security, legal or business reasons. We will take reasonable care when making changes and will respect applicable legal obligations and existing paid subscription commitments.

Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. Subject to that, and to any mandatory consumer rights, FactBurst is not responsible for losses that were not reasonably foreseeable or for business losses suffered by someone using the site as a consumer. This section does not affect rights you have under applicable law.

Complaints and disputes

Please contact us first at contact@factburstquiz.com or through the Contact page so we can try to resolve your concern. These Terms are subject to applicable law, and nothing here removes any mandatory rights or protections you may have under the law that applies to you.
