Privacy Policy
Instant Quizzes Ltd do not disclose buyers' information to third parties. Cookies are used on this shopping site to keep track of the contents of your shopping cart once you have selected an item, and to store delivery addresses etc. if the customer login is used.
What are cookies and how do they work?
A cookie is a text file containing information that can be remembered by a web browser between pages. When an individual uses a web browser to access the internet their browser can create cookies which are stored on the user’s computer. Cookies are not programs and therefore cannot contain viruses or other malicious software. They are purely a string of text and numbers.
There are two main types of cookies - session cookies and persistent cookies.
Session cookies only last during a single visit. When a user closes their web browser the session cookie information is automatically removed from their computer. The Instant Quizzes website uses session cookies for two purposes:
Two session cookies are set that temporarily store a unique identifier for each visitor to the website. This identifier is a random series of letters and numbers and doesn't contain any personal or identifiable information. It is used to help count the number of visitors to the Instant Quizzes website.
Two cookies are set by the computer systems that run the Instant Quizzes website. These cookies are used as part of the process of sending web pages to the user's web browser and are essential - no website using Microsoft technology will work without these cookies.
Persistent cookies are stored by the user's web browser even when the web browser has been closed, so that the next time a user goes back to the website that originally set the cookie, the web site can read information back from the cookie.
Persistent cookies have an expiry date which controls when they are automatically deleted. This can be anything from a few minutes to several years.
Instant Quizzes use persistent cookies for the following purposes:
Google Analytics is a system used by many website to record information about who visits a website. Google set five different cookies with expiry dates ranging from 1 day to 2 years. These cookies are used mainly to differentiate between first time visitors to a website and repeat visitors. They do not contain any personally identifiable information. You can find out more about how Google use cookies at http://www.google.com/intl/en/analytics/privacyoverview.html (English only)
Instant Quizzes use their own cookies to remember which items a customer has put into their basket. By using a persistent cookie for this, a customer can close their web browser and come back to the Instant Quizzes website subsequently and still be able to access items that had been put into their shopping basket on a previous visit. This cookie is essential for the functioning of the Instant Quizzes website as without it customers would be unable to place items into the shopping basket. The cookie lasts for 1 year but is cleared once an order has been placed.
Instant Quizzes also use a cookie to remember a user's website preferences such as preferred language, currency and delivery country. The first time a customer visits the Instant Quizzes website they are asked to confirm this information which is then stored in a cookie set to last for 1 year. Without this cookie the customer would have to re-enter their preferences every time they visit the website.
A number of persistent cookies are also set by the computers that run the Instant Quizzes website. These cookies are solely used to record technical information necessary for our web servers to work properly. No personally identifiable information in stored in these cookies.
All cookies used by Instant Quizzes are 'first party' cookies. This means that any cookie set on the Instant Quizzes website can only be read back from the Instant Quizzes website. No other website is able to read or access information from any cookie set by the Instant Quizzes website. We do not use 'third party' cookies which would permit this sort of behaviour by other websites.
Controlling or deleting cookies
Depending on which web browser you use it is possible to control how cookies are used, or to delete existing cookies from your computer. You can find instructions on how to control the use of cookies, or delete cookies from your computer at http://www.aboutcookies.org (English only)

Terms and Conditions of Sale
All quizzes sold on this website are for the use of the purchaser or their representative only in one venue and on one given date. The date and venue of the quiz must be disclosed to Instant Quizzes Ltd. if so requested and agreed by them prior to use of the questions.

Questions and picture quizzes sold on this website are not to be resold in full as a package, in part or published commercially without prior written agreement from Instant Quizzes Ltd. and payment of an appropriate commercial rate.
To the best of our knowledge at the time of sale, all quiz questions in our database are correct. Should any errors be reported to us, we will immediately rectify the problem and will refund the proportionate cost of the question. With over 125,000 questions in our database, from time to time facts may change - and although most of our questions are written in a timeless manner, there may be occasions where records are broken or following reclassification facts change over the years thus resulting in "errors" - an example being the reclassification of the planet Pluto which immediately made all quiz questions about smallest planet, most distant planet and number of planets in our solar system defunct.
Our quiz questions are therefore sold as seen - and NO LIABILITY is accepted by Instant Quizzes for any loss or damage incurred by the end user as a result of their use. Should you offer a prize of any great note we suggest that you independently check and verify all questions before use.
If required we will be willing to accept full liability for questions sold - but this will impact on price and delivery. We will require full terms of your required liability prior to agreement on price and time to check any questions we may sell to you in advance of delivery.

Instant Quizzes Ltd. reserve the right to withdraw your right to the questions at any time on receipt of a full refund.
If, by mistake, we have under priced an item, we will not be liable to supply that item to you at the stated price, provided that we notify you before we despatch the item to you. In those circumstances, we will notify the correct price to you so you can decide whether or not you wish to order the item at that price

Questions sold from our Multiple Choice Quiz Database section may be used in any way that you require provided that the database is not resold in whole or in part and if resold is done so as part of a package that securely protects the whole database. Prior to use, Instant Quizzes may require details of where the database is to be used and if this information is requested, your rights to use same are reserved until that information has been forwarded to us.
