Quizdom UG (haftungsbeschraenkt) with registered office in Ladehofstrasse 28, D-93049 Regensburg, Germany– hereinafter referred to as “QUIZDOM” –, offers online games – hereinafter referred to as “game” or “games” – as well as additional services connected to them online and/or via apps. These additional services include, among other things, the creation of a profile and of an account page (dashboard), the participation in various communities, and the option of acquiring “credits”, “token”, “NFT” etc., a virtual currency or item, which can be exchanged for additional services, rights, and virtual items. There may moreover exist the option to play for money. To do this, the player may keep a separate account and deposit real money via a payment system provided by QUIZDOM or third party that is then managed in a separate account. The participant can use this money as stake in prize games, such as quiz tournaments. Wins and losses from the participation in prize games are settled through this account. The participant may withdraw money from this account at any time as soon as a minimum balance of an equivalent of 25 EUR is exceeded. At least an equivalent of 25 EUR must remain on the account. These expire after deletion of the account. If user fees are due for the keeping of this account, for which QUIZDOM bills the participant.
1.1 QUIZDOM renders the services rendered to participants in connection with the games – including all
additional services – exclusively on the basis of these General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as
“GTC”). QUIZDOM hereby expressly rejects any GTC of participants. Any GTC of participants only become
contractual elements if QUIZDOM has expressly agreed to them in writing.
1.2 The rules of the game and the conditions of participation of the games are available publicly on the web
page of the respective game and/or the respective app. By participating, the participant also accepts these
rules of the game and conditions of participation as binding. The GTC are available to the participant in the
app and on the user interface of his or her account and for download at any time.
1.3 The participants are not authorized to transfer their rights from this contractual relationship to third
parties.
1.4 These GTC do not deal with questions that may arise in connection with the services of third parties,
including concerning access to the internet, mobile communications networks, and platforms of third parties
(e.g. social networks, online shops).
2.1 QUIZDOM enables participants to take part in the games and the additional services offered in this context
within the existing technical and operational possibilities.
2.2 In order to play the games, the participant has to connect to the respective server of the game via a client
(web or app). QUIZDOM makes the games as well as any required applications or clients available online and/or
for download.
2.3 It is the responsibility of the participant to keep his or her terminal devices (e.g. PC, smartphone,
tablet) in a condition allowing for the utilization of the games. This includes above all that the terminal
device has a corresponding internet connection and meets the minimum system requirements for the respective
game. It is the responsibility of the participant to establish and maintain his or her internet connection.
QUIZDOM is responsible neither for establishing nor for maintaining the internet connection of the participant.
The participant has to independently obtain information on any fees accruing due to his or her use of the
services of QUIZDOM via mobile phone and the internet from his or her mobile phone or internet provider.
2.4 The use of the games in their basic versions is free of charge (“basic version”). However, participants may
acquire “credits”, “coins”, “token”, “NFTs” or “tickets” that are credited to the user account of the
participant, for example for special game progress, services, or against payment of a certain amount of money.
These “credits”, “coins”, “token” or “tickets” can be exchanged for virtual items and/or other additional
functions. They serve in particular also for the acquisition of the right to participate in games that are not
part of the basic quota of games per participant (“premium version”; see section 7 on payment methods). The
participant may freely dispose of the credits, however, the exchange or re-change for money is excluded on
principle. The participant is separately informed about the functions, conditions, and prices of credits,
virtual items, and additional functions prior to using them in each game. Virtual items or credits are not
“things” as defined by section 90 of the German Civil Code (BGB). QUIZDOM does not transfer any property to the
participants, but rather only a right of use, the duration and scope of which depends on the respective virtual
item.
2.5 The games are constantly being further developed, updated, and modified in order to offer the participants
long-lasting playing fun. This is why the right to participate always only applies for the current version of
the games. QUIZDOM reserves the right to suspend, limit, or modify the operation of individual games or
individual features of the games in whole or in part at any time and without giving reasons. The participant’s
right to terminate the contract with immediate effect remains unaffected by this. No additional rights of the
participant exist, unless these GTC expressly state otherwise.
2.6 QUIZDOM guarantees the constant availability at any time for each game. This does not include times when the
servers for the respective games are not available over the Internet due to technical or other problems which
are beyond the control of QUIZDOM (e.g. force majeure, fault of third parties, etc.) and times when routine
maintenance tasks are being carried out. The liability of QUIZDOM for inaccessibility of the servers in case of
intent or gross negligence remains unaffected by this. QUIZDOM may restrict access to the services if required
for the security of network operations, the maintenance of network integrity, or in particular the avoidance of
serious disturbances of the network, software, or stored data.
3.1 QUIZDOM offers all services (games und additional services) exclusively to consumers as defined in section
13 of the German Civil Code (BGB). This applies independently of whether the services are offered in the Federal
Republic of Germany or abroad.
3.2 The utilization of the basic version is not subject to age restrictions on the part of QUIZDOM.
3.3 Upon acquisition of “credits”, “coins”, “token”, “NFT” or “tickets” against payment - hereinafter referred
to as “credits” - of an amount of money, the participant confirms that he or she is of full legal age and has
legal capacity or, in case of minors, that the consent of his or her legal representative has been given.
QUIZDOM has the right to request written proof of majority (age verification) of the participant respectively
the declaration of consent of his or her legal representative at any time. If additional data or information is
required due to current legal provisions, QUIZDOM reserves the right to demand them.
3.4 The participation in the games serves entertainment purposes only. The participants must not use the games
for commercial purposes.
4.1 The participation in a game is in general possible at all times. If the participant wants to save scores,
earned credits, or other prizes, this is only possible if the participant has registered beforehand and created
a user account – hereinafter referred to as “account” or “player account”. The registration of a participant
takes place online either by filling in a registration form on the web page of the respective game, by
registering in an app, directly on the web page of QUIZDOM, or via the registration on a social network, such as
through Facebook Connect.
4.2 Also required is accepting these GTC by clicking a checkbox in the course of the registration. The GTC can
be printed or saved on a permanent data medium by the participant prior to sending off the registration form. In
addition, the GTC are stored in each app and in the individual user interface of the player at all times.
QUIZDOM is free to make the basic version of a game available without prior registration, as well.
4.3 The participant has to fill in all fields marked “required” in the registration form. All data in the
registration form, regardless of whether they are voluntary or mandatory, have to be correct. During the
registration, the participant may have to indicate an e-mail address at which he or she can be reached.
4.4 Upon sending the registration or – if no registration takes place – upon first logging in, the participant
makes an offer for conclusion of a user agreement with QUIZDOM. The receipt of the participant’s application is
confirmed by QUIZDOM electronically, if applicable to the e-mail address indicated by the participant. The
confirmation of receipt does not constitute the acceptance of the participant’s application. However, it may be
given in connection with the declaration of acceptance. The contract is concluded only upon acceptance of the
participant’s application by QUIZDOM. This may take place explicitly or through the initial fulfillment action
by QUIZDOM. No right to a conclusion of contract, the creation of an account, or the participation in the games
and/or the use of their additional services exists.
4.5 Every participant may create and use only one account. The creation of multiple accounts by the same
participant is prohibited. A violation entitles QUIZDOM to immediate termination without notice (see item 9.4).
4.6 The participant chooses a member name in the context of his or her registration, which will be the player
name. Selecting a member name with pornographic or racist content, content aimed at inciting the public or
glorifying war or violence, or offensive or otherwise unlawful content is prohibited. A violation entitles
QUIZDOM to immediately ban the participant (see item 15.5). If the participant does not remove the reason for
the ban upon demand by QUIZDOM, QUIZDOM may terminate the account of the participant.
4.7 The participant must not transfer his or her account to third parties without the prior written consent of
QUIZDOM.
4.8 QUIZDOM offers the participant the basic option to log into a game using an account set up with a
third-party provider. Items 4.1 to 4.6 apply accordingly in this case.
4.9 QUIZDOM is not responsible for the availability and operational functionality of accounts of third-party
companies through which the participant may gain access to the offer by QUIZDOM. In this case, the rights of the
participant are determined by the respective agreements and conditions between the user and the respective third
party.
You can cancel your contract within 14 days in writing (e.g. letter, e-mail) without giving any reasons. The
period begins upon receipt of this notification in writing, but not before the agreement is signed and also not
before our information obligations are fulfilled according to art. 246 section 2 in connection with section 1
(1) and (2) of the Introductory Act to the German Civil Code (EGBGB) as well as our obligations according to
section 312g (1) (1) of the German Civil Code (BGB) in conjunction with art. 246 section 3 EGBGB. The timely
dispatch of the notice of cancelation is sufficient for compliance with the cancelation period. The notice of
cancelation must be submitted to:
Quizdom UG (haftungsbeschraenkt)
Ladehofstrasse 28
D-93049 Regensburg
Germany
E-mail: hallo@quizdom.com
Consequences of cancelation
In the case of an effective cancelation, the mutually received goods, services, and payments must be returned
and any benefits (e.g. interest, dividends) surrendered. If you cannot return the services received in full or
in part, or only return them in worse condition, you must pay us compensation for the value. This may mean that
you must nevertheless fulfill the contractual payment obligations for the period up to the cancelation.
Obligations for reimbursement of payments must be fulfilled within 30 days. For you, the period begins when you
send your cancelation notice and for us, upon receipt of the same.
Special notice: Your right to cancel expires prematurely if the contract is fulfilled by both parties at your
explicit request before you have exercised your right of cancelation.
End of the cancelation policy
6.1 The games are made available to the participants only within the context of a utilization under the terms of
the contract. Registered participants can connect to a server using their member name and personal password via
the respective apps or clients for the games. The automated creation of a player account is not permitted. The
connection to the server is only possible via the official apps or clients provided by QUIZDOM.
6.2 The participant is not authorized to use measures, mechanisms, or software in connection with the web page,
the app or the client, or other software provided by QUIZDOM, which could interfere with the function of the
games and the additional services, as well as with the course of the game. The participant must not take any
measures that could result in an unreasonable or excessive load on the technical capacities of QUIZDOM. The
participant is in particular not permitted to block, overwrite, or modify content generated by QUIZDOM, unless
this has expressly been permitted in writing by QUIZDOM.
6.3 The participant must not add elements to or change, delete, or otherwise modify elements of the game
software, unless QUIZDOM has expressly consented to this in writing. In particular, the participant must not
copy, extract, or otherwise use graphical elements or try to decode the source code of the software.
6.4 The participant is not authorized to use the games for commercial or illegal purposes.
6.5 The participant must not execute or let execute, apply, or use any software or hardware applications of
third parties which allow him or her to influence the score or the course of the game or to receive any services
which would otherwise have to be paid for. The participant is therefore in particular not permitted to obtain
services with costs or other advantages, such as the systematic or automatic control of the game or of
individual game functions, by using software of third parties or other applications (in particular “bots”,
“hacks”, or “cheats”).
6.6 The participants are expressly prohibited from selling, renting out, or offering virtual items or acquired
credits within and/or outside of the games – regardless in which form – in a commercial scope to third parties;
to purchase, rent, or accept them from third parties; or to distribute or reproduce them in any other way. This
prohibition does not apply if the participants request no consideration for the virtual items or the acquired
credits, or if consideration is requested exclusively in the form of other virtual items or credits for the same
game, and/or if the express consent of QUIZDOM has been given. If credits or virtual items are traded in the
games with conspicuous frequency without a comparable equivalent being given within the game, a violation of
this item 6.6 is suspected. The participant is entitled to bring proof to the contrary.
6.7 The participants are furthermore obligated to comply with the legal regulations when using the games. They
are in particular prohibited from distributing any type and form of content with pornographic, racist, or
offensive content, content glorifying war or violence, or otherwise unlawful content, as well as content
suitable to violate the rights of third parties. Participants are also prohibited from distributing in the
games’ commercial advertisement for products and/or programs of third parties or from distributing without
authorization works by third parties that are protected by copyright or other rights.
7.1 Participants are offered the option of purchasing credits in various ways, including against payment, which
are then credited to a separate account managed by QUIZDOM or third party (see 7.8).
In addition, it is possible to top up the account via postcard free of charge. When topping up credits via
postcard, one free game may be topped up per postcard. For this, it is necessary to indicate a number and/or
code indicated in the game. The postcard must be sent to Quizdom UG (haftungsbeschraenkt), Ladehofstrasse 28,
D-93049 Regensburg, Germany.
In particular, the participant may use the credits to purchase virtual credits, game authorizations and/or
additional functions not available in the basic version and/or that have to be earned by playing etc.. The
participant is informed about the type, function, and prices of the credits, virtual items, and additional
functions prior to using them in each game. The virtual items and additional functions offered and available
against credits enable the participant to use certain additional functions in accordance with the rules of the
game of the respective game for a certain time period.
7.2 Since the games are continuously being further developed, QUIZDOM reserves the right to offer new additional
functions and/or virtual items, and/or remove them from the offer, change them, or make them available in the
basic version. If the participant has already traded credits for virtual items and/or additional functions for a
period in the future and is not able to use them for the aforementioned reasons or if they are made available in
the basic version, QUIZDOM will offer other virtual items and/or additional functions for the game as
substitution. If no suitable alternative offer is possible, crediting the credits back is possible as an
alternative, as well. In this case, the participant has the right to terminate the contract with immediate
effect. All other claims of the participant are excluded.
7.3 The fee for credits acquired against payment is due and payable immediately. Due payments are usually
debited from the bank account indicated by the participant or via credit card or made using a suitable payment
system.
7.4 QUIZDOM has the right to change the prices for credits or the required number of credits for virtual items
and/or additional functions permanently or for a limited time, as well as to offer new products, services, or
payment methods permanently or for a limited time.
7.5 In the event of default, QUIZDOM has the right to demand default interest in the legal amount. In case of
default, QUIZDOM furthermore has the right to discontinue the services and block the account of the participant
with immediate effect. If the participant continues to default despite notice to pay or perform, QUIZDOM has the
right to terminate the contract.
7.6 In case QUIZDOM incurs return debits and/or cancelation fees due to the fault of the participant or to
insufficient funds in the participant’s account for which he or she is responsible because of the subsequent
return of a debit charge, the participant bears the resulting costs. If payment is made via debit or credit card
charge and return debits occur, QUIZDOM charges an additional processing fee of EUR 9.00 per debit / credit card
charge plus the cancelation fees incurred by QUIZDOM, unless the participant proves damage of a lesser extent.
QUIZDOM has the right to demand these costs together with the original claims by debiting them from the account
of the participant again.
7.7 The participants may only offset undisputed and legally binding counterclaims against QUIZDOM. They may only
exercise a right of retention if their counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship. Transferring
their claims against QUIZDOM to third parties is excluded.
7.8 If a participant decides to play for money or money prizes and if these game formats are offered, he or she
may set up an account for this on the QUIZDOM platform, where the participant can deposit or withdraw balances.
Only the modes of payment of QUIZDOM’s partner for the payment settlement can be accepted.
I this case the player account is managed by a trust bank and not by QUIZDOM. The player may use the balance as
stake in prize games, which is then blocked by QUIZDOM for the duration of the game. QUIZDOM deposits the
winnings to this trust account, deducting a fee for participating in the game or account plus administration
fees if needed, respectively. The participant can see all movements in the form of statements of account at any
time. The participant receives a monthly online invoice for the user fee if there is any (as of the end of the
month). In order to guarantee the administration of the account, the participant agrees to leave a minimum
balance of an equivalent of EUR 25.00 in the account at all times. In case there is a lower balance in the
account, QUIZDOM will request the player to settle it. If the participant does not do so within 60 days of the
request, QUIZDOM or trust bank will delete the account.
7.9 If no other partner is named, QUIZDOM's internal store is operated by the following partner, who also
carries out the payment collection:
Graucus Trade Ltd.
Unit 1411, 14th floor Cosco Tower
183 Queen's Road Central
Sheung Wan
Hong Kong
The necessary data processing agreement is in place.
8.1 The participant may be offered the opportunity to participate free of charge or in exchange for credits in
special campaigns in which a winner is determined based on pre-defined criteria. Usually, the winner is the
player with the highest score in the preset time frame. The details are announced accompanying the respective
prize game on the web page of QUIZDOM, the respective app, or the game’s web page.
8.2 For a game to be rated as won, the game has to be won according to the respective rules of the game. In
addition, the connection to the game’s server has to be maintained throughout the entire course of the game. You
can find more detailed information on the regulation in case games are terminated on the platform in the help
section of the respective game.
8.3 QUIZDOM reserves the right to subsequently correct and/or cancel scores if the game was won due to a
technical fault, the fraudulent behavior of a participant, or under false pretense.
QUIZDOM reserves the right to terminate the respective game early for technical, legal, or other reasons. If the
early termination is caused by the behavior of a participant, QUIZDOM may demand this person to compensate for
the damage incurred.
8.4 Employees and their relatives of QUIZDOM and of all parent and subsidiary companies, cooperating partners
and all parent and subsidiary companies / participations of the cooperating partners, as well as of the involved
providers and service providers are excluded from participation.
Also excluded are persons using unauthorized assistive devices or otherwise obtaining advantages through
manipulation. Where applicable, winnings may also be subsequently disallowed and reclaimed in these cases.
9.1 The contracts between the participant and QUIZDOM are concluded indefinitely, unless agreed otherwise.
9.2 If no limited term has been agreed, both parties have the right to ordinary termination with a notice period
of three days at any time.
9.3 The parties’ right to extraordinary termination for good cause without notice remains unaffected by the
previous provision. QUIZDOM has the right to extraordinary termination for good cause without notice in
particular, but not limited to if:
10.1 The games and the contents of the respective web pages are the exclusive property and/or subject to the
exclusive ownership of rights of QUIZDOM and/or the respective licensor. The unauthorized utilization, use,
distribution, reproduction, or violation of the industrial property rights and copyrights of QUIZDOM in any
other way will be prosecuted under civil and/or criminal law.
10.2 All rights on the information provided by the participant remain with him or her. By providing information
on the platforms of the games, the participant grants QUIZDOM a non-exclusive license free of charge that can be
freely canceled at any time to make these contents on the platforms of the games publicly available to third
parties worldwide. QUIZDOM has no further rights of use on the information provided by the participant. The
license expires when the participant deletes the contents provided by him or her on the platforms of the games.
11.1 QUIZDOM expressly undertakes to protect the privacy of the participants. However, data of the participants
are required for the use of the games and for executing and processing the user agreement as well as for
monitoring the compliance with the rules of the games and the GTC. This includes personal data (first and last
names, address, e-mail address, IP address) as well as data for the settlement of payments if necessary (where
required and/or applicable: direct debit: account holder, account number, IBAN, BIC, bank / payment by credit
card: card holder, card company, card number, expiration date, mobile phone number, etc.). Providing the data is
voluntary. The data are collected and processed by QUIZDOM in connection with the registration, stored in a
database, and used for the realization of the contract.
11.2 Data are only passed on to third parties if the participant has expressly agreed to this beforehand. The
participant may withdraw this consent again within a period of 14 days. QUIZDOM explicitly informs the
participant once more of the consequences of an omitted cancelation prior to the begin of this period. Data is
passed on to external service providers contracted to collect the fee to the extent that it is necessary to
determine the fee and to invoice the participants. QUIZDOM informs the participant of this beforehand and gives
him or her the opportunity to object to the information being passed on. Upon request, QUIZDOM will inform the
participant at any time about all his or her stored data.
11.3 QUIZDOM will treat all data in accordance with the applicable data protection law. QUIZDOM will comply with
the high security standards of the Telemedia Act (Telemediengesetz, TMG) of the Federal Republic of Germany as
well as of the Federal Data Protection Act and all other applicable data protection regulations during all
measures.
11.4 If the participant provided QUIZDOM with his or her e-mail address in the context of the existing customer
relationship, he or she may receive e-mails with information about QUIZDOM or about such services as are like
those he or she has already made use of at QUIZDOM. This applies particularly to cooperation partners of QUIZDOM
for which special games were created (branded games/branded apps). The participant my withdraw his or her
consent to this in writing (e.g. via e-mail) at any time without incurring any costs.
The participant is offered the option to reject the receipt of further information and to send a corresponding
cancelation with every information and newsletter by QUIZDOM.
Please refer to our data protection regulations/privacy statement in the current version for further details.
12.1 QUIZDOM provides a platform for the communication between the participants through which they can
communicate with each other. The participants are responsible themselves for the content of this communication
as well as all other content they publish on the web page. For QUIZDOM, these contents are third-party content
as defined by section 8 para. 1 TMG reflecting exclusively the personal opinion of the respective participant.
QUIZDOM does neither adopt nor agree with this content. The same applies to content violating the rights of
third parties in any way. Violations may result in the immediate deletion and/or blocking of the contents and/or
of the account of the participant and in the termination of the contract. To the extent that links to other
pages operated by third parties are provided on the platform, QUIZDOM is not responsible for the content of the
linked pages. QUIZDOM does not control these pages and expressly distances itself from their contents.
12.2 There moreover exists the option for participants to create content for games, such as questions for the
games. If participants upload to or provide this content in or through the services of QUIZDOM, they grant
QUIZDOM at the same time the right to use, host, store, reproduce, change, create derived works from,
communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly present, and distribute this content worldwide. Details are
regulated separately.
13.1 QUIZDOM grants the participants access to the games in the version available at the time. The participants
are not entitled to the continuity or initiation of certain conditions/scope of functions of the games and/or of
the additional services. The participants are aware that the games and the additional services – like any
software – can never be completely without defects. For this reason, games as well as the additional services
are only considered defective if their playability and/or use are seriously and lastingly interrupted.
13.2 The participants have to report any defects in the games or other services or deliveries by QUIZDOM with as
much detail as possible at all times. Before reporting any malfunctions, the participants have to consult the
game and/or service manuals and any other types of assistance for solving the problem (in particular lists with
frequently asked questions, discussion forums on problems) made available by QUIZDOM. The participants are
obligated to make every effort to support QUIZDOM in the possible removal of defects.
13.3 The participants have to report defects immediately and in writing in accordance with section 126b BGB,
indicating the information suitable to remove the defects. We recommend addressing any notices of defects in
writing in accordance with section 126b BGB to QUIZDOM as preservation of evidence.
13.4 Defects caused by external influences, force majeure, or changes or other manipulations not carried out by
QUIZDOM are on principle excluded from the warranty.
13.5 QUIZDOM does not assume warranties in the legal sense.
14.1 To the extent that QUIZDOM provides services free of charge, QUIZDOM is not liable except for damage due to
gross negligence or intent.
14.2 To the extent that QUIZDOM requires payment for services, QUIZDOM is fully liable in case of intent and
gross negligence. In case of slight negligence, QUIZDOM is only liable in the case of violation of essential
contractual obligations or of a warranty. Essential contractual obligations, including essential contractual
obligations within the meaning of precedent case law, are obligations that make the proper realization of the
contract possible at all and that the participant may trust to be fulfilled.
14.3 The abovementioned limitations of liability in accordance with sections 14.1 and 14.2 do not apply to the
liability in case of injury to life, body, and health or in case of assumption of a liability by QUIZDOM. The
liability of QUIZDOM in accordance with the German Product Liability Act as well as in the scope of application
of section 44a of the German Telecommunications Law (TKG) remains unaffected.
14.4 The liability for damages is limited in each case to the foreseeable damage in case of a violation of
essential contractual obligations.
14.5 The abovementioned exclusions and/or limitations of liability also apply with regard to the liability of
the staff, employees, associates, representatives, and vicarious agents of QUIZDOM, particularly for the benefit
of the shareholders, employees, representatives, and bodies and their members, concerning their personal
liability.
14.6 QUIZDOM is only liable for consultation to the extent that the question concerns the games of QUIZDOM.
14.7 The abovementioned provisions are not connected to a change in the burden of proof to the disadvantage of
the participant.
15.1 The main obligation to perform of the participant is the payment of credits acquired against payment as
well as any fees accruing for the keeping of an optional cash account and the participation in games that are
subject to a fee. Another main obligation to perform of the participant is the obligation to provide correct and
complete data which QUIZDOM requests from the participant at the time of conclusion of the contract or
throughout the contractual relationship. The participant therefore confirms that the information he or she
provided on his or her person and other circumstances relevant to the contract (in particular the bank account
and credit card number) within the context of the offer or the conclusion of the contract or throughout the
contractual relationship are complete and correct.
15.2 The participants are aware that they play together with numerous other participants and/or communicate with
various participants through the additional services in the games. The rules of the game must be observed in
order to allow for a fun playing experience. The participants accept the rules of the games and the conditions
of participation in the games as binding. The participants will comply with the instructions by QUIZDOM, if
applicable represented by the game administration. The participants will in other respects also refrain from
doing anything that disrupts the operation of the games and the additional services as well as the fun playing
experience. The participant is in particular obligated to not introduce content into the games that is against
the law or violating public policy and/or to transmit such content. This includes in particular content that
incites racial hatred, glorifies violence, is suited to put children and juveniles in serious moral danger or
impair their wellbeing, and that could damage the reputation of QUIZDOM. The participant also must not point to
offers with such content.
15.3 In case the participant violates section 15.2, QUIZDOM has the right to delete the information added by the
participant. QUIZDOM has in particular the right to delete information that has been added if definite clues for
a violation of these GTC, the rules of the game, or the conditions of participation exist or if the information
added is otherwise against the law.
15.4 In case the participant violates section 15.2, QUIZDOM has the right to temporarily block the participant’s
access to his or her account after prior warning notice and threat of blocking. A warning notice and threat of
blocking are dispensable if special circumstances exist which justify the immediate blocking to the access
taking into consideration the interests of both parties. QUIZDOM will inform the participant about the reason
for the blocking. The same applies in the case of the misuse of a credit card, the use of incorrect credit card
information, as well as the indication of incorrect data in case of participation in direct debit. The blocking
of access includes the permission for QUIZDOM to immediately delete all content and information of the
participant from the database and the web pages. After removal of the reasons for the blocking, QUIZDOM can
reverse the blocking, granting the participant access to his or her account once more.
15.5 There is no entitlement to the restoration of deleted information.
15.6 The participants undertake to keep the access date (login data, password, etc.) for the games they received
in strict confidentiality and to not disclose this data to third parties, unless QUIZDOM has agreed to the
transfer of the account in writing beforehand. The participants are obligated to not use the account, the login
name, or the password of another participant without authorization under any circumstances. If a third party
uses an account after having acquired the access data because the participant had not secured it sufficiently
from outside access, the participant has to accept being treated as if he or she had acted himself or herself.
The participants are obligated to keep all access data and passwords for the games in strict confidentiality and
to not disclose this data to third parties, unless QUIZDOM has agreed to the transfer of the account in writing
beforehand. In case a third party obtains access to the data, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the
participant is responsible for the consequences and agrees to compensate QUIZDOM for any damage or losses. The
participants agree to not use the account, the access data, or the passwords of another participant without
authorization under any circumstances.
15.7 The participants are obligated to inform QUIZDOM immediately, as soon as they become aware of it, that
unauthorized third parties have knowledge of their access data. QUIZDOM points out that for security reasons
passwords should be changed regularly. QUIZDOM does not assume any responsibility for losses incurred by the
participant if an unauthorized person obtains access to the account of the participant and uses it (with
deceitful intent or otherwise).
15.8 In case of reasonable suspicion that access data has become known to unauthorized third parties, QUIZDOM
for security reasons has the right, but is not obligated to change the access data without prior notice at its
own discretion and/or block the use of the account. In this process, QUIZDOM will inform the authorized
participant without delay and transmit the new access data upon request and within a reasonable time. The
participant has no right to a restoration of the original access data.
15.9 QUIZDOM secures its systems against attack by malicious software. Nevertheless, an attack can never be
excluded completely. It may moreover happen that unauthorized third parties send out e-mails using the name of
QUIZDOM but without the permission of QUIZDOM, which contain for example viruses or spyware or that link to web
content containing viruses or spyware. QUIZDOM has no influence on this. The participants should therefore check
all incoming e-mails sent under the name of QUIZDOM for infection. This also applies to e-mails from other
participants.
15.10 QUIZDOM is not responsible for damage or data losses that may occur due to the installation on terminal
devices (computers, smartphones, tablets, etc.) of the participant of software that does not originate with
QUIZDOM.
15.11 Unless otherwise determined through these GTC or another agreement with the participant, QUIZDOM will
usually communicate with the participants via e-mail or chat. The participants therefore have to make sure that
they can receive e-mails that could be sent by QUIZDOM to the participants to the address indicated to QUIZDOM
at the time of registration or at a later time. The participants will ensure this via the corresponding settings
of the spam filter and will regularly check this e-mail address. Apart from this, QUIZDOM reserves the right to
select a different type of correspondence.
16.1 QUIZDOM reserves the right to change or extend these General Terms and Conditions at any time and with
effect for the future, in case this seems necessary and does not disadvantage the participant in bad faith. A
change may in particular be necessary in order to adapt to a change in the legal situation or to reflect changes
of the scope of services regarding the games and/or additional services. Newly issued court orders also
constitute a change in the legal situation.
16.2 A change or amendment will be announced at least two weeks prior to coming into force in an appropriate
manner in writing. Usually, the notice regarding changes of the GTC takes place by notification via e-mail or on
the web page of the games, in any case however at the time the participant next logs into a game.
16.3 The participant has the right to protest against a change or amendment towards QUIZDOM within one month of
publication and opportunity to take note. QUIZDOM will separately indicate to the participants the possibility
of protest and termination, the period and the legal consequences, particularly with regard to an omitted
protest, as part of the information on the changes of the GTC. In case of a timely protest, both parties have
the right to terminate the contract with a notice period of one month. Other rights of termination remain
unaffected by this. User fees paid by the participant beyond the time of termination will in this case be
reimbursed proportionally. All other claims of the participant are excluded. If the participant does not protest
within the opposition period or continues to use the services afterwards, the changes or amendments are
considered accepted and become contractual elements.
17.1 If a party delays, waives, or refrains from enforcing its rights in the context of these GTC, or if it
grants terms to the other party, this does not adversely affect the continuance of the respective right.
17.2 The law of Germany applies exclusively to all contracts concluded on the basis of these GTC and all claims
in connection therewith, excluding the provisions of the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of
Goods.
17.3 Should any of the provisions of these General Terms and Conditions be or become invalid, all other
provisions remain unaffected.
17.4 Changes or amendments to this user agreement as well as additional agreements must be made in writing. This
also applies to changes to this written form clause.
