Terms of Service

By registering for, paying for, accessing, or taking part in any Skollar Quiz 2026 format, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Refund & Cancellation Policy, and the Fair Play Policy.

If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please do not register or participate. If you are taking part on behalf of a minor (see Eligibility & Age below), your agreement also binds that minor to these Terms.

We may update these Terms from time to time. The version that applies to you is the one in effect when you register for a given format, except where a later change is required by law or is clearly in your favour (see Changes to These Terms).

The Skollar Quiz 2026 is offered in four separate formats:

• Skollar Global Quiz 2026 — open worldwide, for anyone up to age 30.
• Skollar Global Junior Quiz 2026 — open worldwide, for school students in Class 8–12.
• Skollar India Quiz 2026 — for participants in India, for anyone up to age 30.
• Skollar India Junior Quiz 2026 — for participants in India, for school students in Class 8–12.

Each format is a separate competition with its own registration, leaderboard, and prize pool. Registering for one format does not enrol you in another.

The quiz itself consists of 100 multiple-choice questions to be answered within a 2-hour window, with one format per day across 10–13 August 2026, spanning 10 syllabus categories. The session is proctored and anti-cheat monitored. Results are announced collectively on 15 August 2026 (India's Independence Day), and every participant who completes the quiz receives a digital certificate. Cash prizes are typically disbursed within about 30 days of results being finalized (see Prizes & Taxes).

Timings, the schedule, and the question set may be adjusted for operational or technical reasons; we will communicate any material changes to registered participants by email.

The Skollar Quiz 2026 is a competition of skill and knowledge. Results are determined solely by a participant's general knowledge, reasoning, accuracy, and speed in answering the same syllabus-based questions — never by chance, a draw, or any random process.

• Winners and rankings are decided by merit: the score over 100 questions, with time taken used only to break ties.
• There is no element of chance, wager, betting, staking, or random allocation of prizes.
• The registration fee is a participation fee for entry to a skill-based contest and access to our practice tools — it is not a stake or bet, and prizes are awarded for performance, not for the outcome of any game of chance.

Applicable law treats games of skill differently from games of chance, and from gambling, betting, and lotteries; the Skollar Quiz 2026 is designed and operated as a game of skill. Because some jurisdictions restrict even skill-based prize competitions, it is your responsibility to ensure that taking part is lawful where you live. Where a paid skill contest with prizes is not permitted, you must not register, and we may restrict eligibility for that region (see Eligibility & Age).

To register, you must meet the eligibility criteria for the format you choose:

• Main formats (Skollar Global Quiz 2026 and Skollar India Quiz 2026): anyone up to age 30.
• Junior formats (Skollar Global Junior Quiz 2026 and Skollar India Junior Quiz 2026): school students in Class 8–12 (or the local equivalent).
• India formats are intended for participants located in India; Global formats are open worldwide subject to local law.

Minors. If you are below the age of majority in your country (in India, under 18), a parent or legal guardian must consent to your participation and must complete or supervise registration and payment on your behalf. By doing so, the parent or guardian agrees to these Terms for the minor and confirms they have the authority to do so.

We may request reasonable proof of age, grade, or location at any stage — including before disbursing a prize. If you do not meet the eligibility criteria for the format you entered, or you cannot verify your eligibility, we may decline your registration, withhold results, or withhold prizes, and refunds (if any) will be handled per the Refund & Cancellation Policy.

You are responsible for the information you provide and for any activity under your registration. You agree to:

• provide true, current, and complete information when you register;
• keep your contact details up to date so we can reach you about results and prizes;
• keep your login credentials confidential and not share them with anyone; and
• notify us promptly at quiz@skollar.club if you suspect unauthorized use of your registration.

Each person may hold one registration per format. Creating duplicate or fraudulent registrations, or registering on behalf of someone who is not eligible, may result in disqualification without refund.

We rely on the accuracy of the information you give us — particularly for results, certificates, and prize disbursement. Errors caused by inaccurate information you provided are your responsibility.

Registration is per format and is confirmed only once payment is successfully received. Fees are charged in the currency tied to your format:

• Global formats: in USD, processed via PayPal.
• India formats: in INR, processed via Razorpay or PayU.

Payments are handled by these third-party processors. We do not store your full card details; we receive only limited payment metadata needed to confirm and reconcile your registration. Your use of a processor is also subject to that processor's own terms and privacy practices.

Registration windows and refund treatment. The last date to register is 31 July 2026 (across all formats). The fee and refund treatment depend on when you register:

• Early Bird (register by 23 June 2026, at the lower fee): you receive a 100% guaranteed refund if you cancel — whether or not you win a prize.
• Standard (24 June 2026 to 31 July 2026, at the higher fee): non-refundable.

The full conditions, deadlines, and process for each window are set out in the Refund & Cancellation Policy, which governs all refunds. Taxes or processor fees, where applicable, may be added to or deducted from amounts as required.

The Skollar Quiz 2026 is a fair, merit-based competition. The session is proctored and anti-cheat monitored, and by participating you agree to the integrity measures described in our Fair Play Policy, which is part of this agreement.

During the quiz you must not:

• seek or accept help from any other person, device, website, AI tool, or reference material unless expressly permitted;
• share, copy, photograph, record, or distribute questions or answers;
• use multiple registrations, impersonation, or any technical means to gain an unfair advantage;
• attempt to access, disrupt, reverse-engineer, or tamper with the quiz platform, its proctoring, or its scoring; or
• disable or evade the monitoring or identity-verification steps we use.

We may use proctoring technology, automated checks, statistical analysis, and human review to detect irregularities. Where monitoring requires camera, microphone, or screen access, the scope and handling of that data is described in the Privacy Policy and Fair Play Policy.

Violations may lead to score adjustment, disqualification, forfeiture of prizes, and a ban from future events — see Disqualification below.

All content that makes up the competition — including questions, answer sets, the syllabus, the quiz platform, the "Skollar" and "Skollar Quiz 2026" names and logos, certificates, and the website design — is owned by or licensed to the organizers and is protected by intellectual-property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, republish, sell, or create derivative works from this content except as expressly allowed.

You receive a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the platform solely to take part in the competition. Your digital certificate is issued to you for personal and professional use (for example, on a résumé or profile) and must not be altered, forged, or misrepresented.

By submitting answers and other content, you grant us a licence to process them for scoring, results, integrity review, and operating the competition. We may publish leaderboard standings and the names of prize winners as part of running the event; details of what we publish and your choices are covered in the Privacy Policy.

Each format has its own prize pool and leaderboard. Cash prizes are typically disbursed within about 30 days after results are finalized, by these methods:

• Global formats: via PayPal or international bank transfer.
• India formats: via NEFT / IMPS bank transfer.

To receive a prize you must verify your identity and eligibility and provide accurate, complete payout details. Prizes are personal to the winner, are not transferable, and cannot be exchanged for an alternative except at our discretion (for example, if a method is unavailable in your country).

Fiscal obligations are the winner's responsibility. You shall be solely and exclusively liable for any and all taxes, levies, duties, cesses, withholdings, deductions, imposts, or other fiscal or statutory exactions of whatsoever nature that may accrue, arise, or become payable in connection with any prize under any applicable legal or regulatory framework in your jurisdiction. Where any applicable framework requires us to withhold, deduct, or retain any amount at source prior to disbursement, we shall be entitled to do so, and the sum you receive shall be net of any such withholding or deduction. We render no fiscal, tax, or financial advice; you should seek independent professional counsel.

We may delay or withhold a prize where there is a pending integrity review, an unresolved eligibility question, missing verification, or a legal or banking requirement. If you do not claim or complete the verification for a prize within a reasonable period after we contact you, the prize may be forfeited.

We may disqualify a participant, void a score, withhold or reclaim a prize, suspend access, or ban a participant from current and future events where, in our reasonable judgment, the participant has:

• breached these Terms or the Fair Play Policy;
• cheated, colluded, impersonated, or used prohibited assistance;
• provided false information about identity, age, grade, location, or payout details;
• created duplicate or fraudulent registrations; or
• attempted to manipulate, disrupt, or compromise the competition or its systems.

Where a disqualification affects standings, we may recalculate results and reassign prizes accordingly. Refunds following disqualification, if any, are governed by the Refund & Cancellation Policy; in most cases of confirmed misconduct, fees are not refundable. We aim to act fairly and proportionately and will, where practical, give you a chance to respond before a final decision.

We work hard to run the competition reliably, but the platform and the competition are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not guarantee that the platform will always be available, secure, or free of technical issues, or that results will be free of human or system error.

We are not responsible for circumstances outside our reasonable control that affect your participation — for example, your own internet connection, device, power supply, browser, or local restrictions.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability to you arising out of or relating to the competition and these Terms is limited to the amount you actually paid us for the format in question. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profit, opportunity, data, or goodwill.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including any non-excludable statutory rights you may have as a consumer under any applicable consumer-protection framework where it applies to you.

We are not liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations caused by events beyond our reasonable control. These may include natural disasters, fire, flood, epidemic or pandemic, war, civil unrest, government action or regulation, strikes, failures of telecommunications or internet infrastructure, power outages, cyberattacks, or failures of third-party service providers (including payment processors and hosting providers).

If such an event prevents the competition from running as planned, we may reschedule, modify, suspend, or — as a last resort — cancel the affected format. Where this happens, any refunds will be handled in line with the Refund & Cancellation Policy and applicable law, and we will communicate with registered participants by email.

We may update these Terms to reflect operational, legal, or regulatory changes. When we make a material change, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify registered participants by email.

The version of these Terms in effect when you registered for a particular format governs that registration, except where a later change is required by law or is genuinely more favourable to you. Continuing to use the platform after an update takes effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree with a change, you should stop using the platform; any refund rights remain governed by the Refund & Cancellation Policy.

How we handle your personal data — including the name, email, optional phone number, age or grade, country or region, payment metadata, quiz responses and scores, and basic device and usage data we collect — is described in the Privacy Policy.

We design our practices to align with applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations, and binding directives governing data protection, information technology, electronic records, and consumer rights, as may be in force and amended from time to time. We say "align with" deliberately — we do not claim formal certification or that compliance is complete.

In keeping with applicable grievance-redressal requirements, you may raise complaints or data-related requests with our grievance contact:

• Grievance Officer: [Grievance Officer Name]
• Email: [Grievance Officer Email]
• General support: quiz@skollar.club

We will acknowledge and respond to grievances within the timelines required by applicable law.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Although the Skollar Quiz 2026 serves international participants, the competition is administered from India, and Indian law applies to this agreement.

Subject to applicable law, the courts at [City], India have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the competition. This does not deprive you of any mandatory protection or forum available to you as a consumer under the laws of your own country, where such protection applies and cannot be waived.

Before starting any formal proceeding, we encourage you to contact us so we can try to resolve the matter amicably and promptly. Many issues can be settled by writing to quiz@skollar.club or to our grievance contact above.
