Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using Buzzega™ ("the Platform"), you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provision of this agreement. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service, please do not use the Platform.

2. Description of Service

Buzzega™ is a real-time interactive quiz and buzzer-based game platform designed for live hosting, classrooms, competitions, and events. The Platform provides tools for creating, hosting, and participating in interactive quiz games.

3. User Accounts, Eligibility and Age

Only a Host needs an account. Players join a game with a game PIN and a display name, and never create an account.

3.1 Minimum age to host in India — 18. You must be at least 18 years old to create a Buzzega™ Host account in India. This is stricter than in other countries we serve, and deliberately so: the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 defines a “child” as any individual who has not completed eighteen years of age, and requires verifiable consent from a parent or lawful guardian before a child’s personal data is processed. A tick-box on a sign-up form is not verifiable parental consent, and we do not currently operate a process that is. Rather than collect a young person’s data on a basis we could not stand behind, we do not permit the account.

3.2 Under 18 in India. You can still take part fully as a Player: joining a game needs no account, no email address and no password — only a game PIN and a display name you choose. Ask a parent, guardian or teacher to host the game.

3.3 Purchasing. Buying a paid plan also requires you to be 18 or over, which is the same threshold as hosting in India. You will be asked to confirm this before payment.

3.4 How your country is determined. The applicable minimum age is decided from the country your connection appears to originate in, as reported by our content delivery network, not from anything your browser or device claims. If you believe the wrong country has been applied to you, contact us using the details at the end of these Terms.

3.5 Age is self-declared. We ask for a confirmation, not a date of birth or identity document. Collecting a date of birth would mean holding a stronger identifier than anything else we keep about you, which for a service used by children is the opposite of collecting only what is necessary. We rely on your confirmation being honest and may suspend an account we believe breaches this section.

For all accounts, you agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration
• Confirm truthfully that you are 18 or over
• Maintain the security of your password and account
• Accept all responsibility for activities that occur under your account
• Notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account

4. Subscription Plans

Buzzega™ operates on a freemium model with the following tiers:

• Free Plan: Up to 5 players per game, unlimited games
• Starter Plan: Up to 25 players per game, advanced features
• Pro Plan: Up to 100 players per game, premium features
• Enterprise Plan: Unlimited players, custom branding, priority support

All prices are shown in Indian Rupees (INR) and include applicable GST.

5. Payment Terms and GST Compliance

You must be 18 or over to purchase a paid plan. In India this is the same age required to hold a Host account at all (section 3.1). We ask you to confirm this before checkout and record your confirmation. Payments are processed by third-party payment providers; we do not receive or store your full card details. If we learn a paid plan was purchased by someone under 18, we may cancel the subscription and will refund any amount charged after the date we became aware.

For paid subscriptions, you agree to pay all fees according to the billing terms in effect at the time. All fees are inclusive of GST as per Indian tax regulations. We reserve the right to change our pricing structure with 30 days' notice. Refunds will be processed in accordance with Indian consumer protection laws.

6. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree not to use the Platform to:

• Create or share content that is illegal, harmful, or offensive under Indian law
• Violate any applicable Indian laws or regulations
• Infringe on the intellectual property rights of others
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Platform or other users' accounts
• Use the Platform for any commercial purpose without our prior written consent
• Engage in any automated or systematic data collection without permission

7. Intellectual Property

All content, features, and functionality of the Platform are owned by Buzzega™ and are protected by Indian and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Indian law, Buzzega™ shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from your use of the Platform. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount paid by you for the service in the twelve months preceding the claim.

9. Termination

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your account and access to the Platform at our sole discretion, without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms of Service or is harmful to other users, us, or the Platform.

10. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Any disputes arising from these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Bangalore, Karnataka, India.

11. Data Protection and Privacy

We comply with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for details on how we collect, use, and protect your data.

12. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. We will notify users of any material changes via email or through the Platform. Your continued use of the Platform after such modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
