Terms of Service

Last updated: March 23, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to ShortQuiz.ai ("Service," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and ShortQuiz.ai regarding your use of our website, applications, and services.

By accessing or using ShortQuiz.ai, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use our Service.

References to "we," "us," or "our" throughout these Terms refer to ShortQuiz.ai.

2. Accounts

To access certain features of our Service, you may need to create an account. When creating an account, you must provide accurate, current, and complete information. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this section.

We reserve the right to disable any user account at any time if, in our reasonable opinion, you have failed to comply with any provision of these Terms or if activities occur on your account that we determine to be illegal, harmful, or offensive.

3. Children's Usage and COPPA Compliance

ShortQuiz.ai is intended for users of all ages. For children younger than 13, we design our system to minimize the collection of personally identifiable information, in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA").

Our practices for younger users include:

  • We do not require students to submit their full name or contact information
  • All quizzes are private by default
  • We do not collect personal information as defined under COPPA without parental consent
  • The platform does not facilitate direct messaging between users
  • All content is subject to appropriate filters and reporting tools

Parents/guardians of children under 13 may:

  • Review, modify, or delete their child's information by contacting support@shortquiz.ai
  • Create a parent account to manage their child's access
  • Request that we delete information their children shared with ShortQuiz.ai

We may ask additional questions to verify the identity of parents/guardians before responding to such requests.

4. Subscription and Payment

4.1 Subscription Plans

We offer various subscription plans with different features, limitations, and pricing. Detailed information about each plan is available on our pricing page. You agree that we may change our subscription plans, pricing, and features at any time with or without notice, though we will strive to provide advance notice of significant changes.

The Service is currently in beta. During this period, certain features may be limited, unavailable, or subject to change. We do not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted access to all features of the Service during the beta phase.

4.2 Credit System

Our platform uses a credit system for quiz generation and related features. Credits are allocated based on your subscription plan and refresh on your billing cycle. Unused credits do not roll over to the next billing period unless explicitly stated in your subscription plan.

The number of credits required for specific actions (such as generating quizzes, using premium models, or incorporating images) may vary and is subject to change. We will make reasonable efforts to communicate any significant changes to the credit system.

4.3 Payment

You agree to pay all fees associated with your chosen subscription plan. Payments are processed through third-party payment processors. By providing payment information, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the payment method and you authorize us to charge your payment method for the total amount of your subscription.

Subscription fees are billed in advance on a recurring basis according to the billing cycle specified in your subscription plan. All fees are non-refundable except as expressly set forth in these Terms or when required by applicable law.

Prices for subscriptions may be subject to change. We will provide notice of any price change by email or through the Service. Your continued use of the Service after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the updated price.

4.4 Subscription Changes and Cancellations

All Paid Subscription Plans must be fully paid prior to each Subscription Period. Once a subscription is paid, it is non-cancelable and non-refundable.

You will be charged before being granted access to your Paid Subscription Plan. Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of your current period unless you cancel.

You may change or cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting support@shortquiz.ai. If you cancel your subscription, you may continue to use the Service until the end of your current billing period, after which you will lose access to premium features and your credit allocation will be adjusted according to your new plan.

Downgrading your subscription may result in the loss of access to certain features, content, or credits. We are not responsible for any loss of data or functionality resulting from a subscription change or cancellation.

We do not provide refunds if:

  • The price for a plan drops after your purchase
  • We offer subsequent promotional pricing
  • You're dissatisfied with features or service changes

4.5 Trial Subscriptions

For Trial Subscriptions, we may require payment details to start the Trial. Your Trial will automatically convert to a paid subscription after the trial period ends unless you cancel beforehand.

5. User Content and AI-Generated Content
