Terms of use

You may use the quiz questions, printables and free tools on Pint and Pencil at your own quiz nights and events, free of charge, including in a pub, at work or for a charity. Please do not republish or sell them. We check every answer against a source, but the host has the final say at their own quiz.

1. Who we are

Pint and Pencil (pintandpencil.co.uk) is run by:

WANG PENG
Erich-Zeigner-Allee 16, 04229 Leipzig
Germany
Email: hello@pintandpencil.co.uk

By using the site you accept these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.

2. What the site offers

The site offers free quiz questions and answers, printable host sheets and free tools that make PDFs: music bingo cards, quiz answer sheets and Mr and Mrs answer sheets. You do not need an account for any of them. Section 6 covers paid digital products, such as quiz packs or personalised printables. At the time of writing we do not sell anything yet; section 6 applies from our first sale.

3. How you may use our questions and printables

You may, free of charge:

  • read the questions out at any quiz or event you run, including a pub quiz, a workplace party, a school, club or charity night, a wedding or a family gathering, even if you charge entry or give prizes;
  • print and copy the host sheets, answer sheets and cards for those events;
  • adapt questions for your own quiz, for example by dropping a round or changing the order.

Without our written permission you may not:

  • republish our questions, answers or printables on another website, in an app, in a book or on social media, apart from short quotes with a link to the page;
  • sell them or include them in a product or quiz pack you sell;
  • copy them in bulk, including into a dataset or to train software.

The wording, selection and arrangement of the questions and the design of the printables belong to us. The facts themselves belong to nobody. To ask for permission, email us.

4. What you make with the free tools

The song titles, names and quiz names you type in remain yours, and so do the PDFs you make with them. You are responsible for what you type. We do not keep it; see the privacy policy. Please use the tools in the normal way through the website: automated or bulk use is limited and may be blocked.

5. Music bingo and music licences

The music bingo generator only prints song titles. We do not supply music, recordings or lyrics. If you play recorded music at an event outside the home, check that the venue or your organisation has the licences needed. In the UK this is usually TheMusicLicence from PPL PRS; many pubs and venues already hold one.

6. Paid products

6.1 What we sell

Our paid products are digital content: PDF files to download and print, such as quiz packs with questions, answers and host notes, or printables personalised with the names you enter. We do not send anything by post. The product page shows what is included, the number of pages, any personal details we need from you and the price, before you order.

6.2 Ordering, prices and payment

The product pages are not a binding offer. You enter any details the product needs and go to the payment page. By clicking the pay button you make a binding offer to buy, and the contract is made when your payment succeeds. We confirm the order, including what you bought and the price, by email.

Sales and payments are handled by Link, a service of Stripe ("Sold through Link"). Link acts as the reseller: it charges any VAT that applies, issues your invoice and offers the payment methods shown on the payment page. All prices are in pounds sterling and include VAT where applicable. There are no delivery charges.

6.3 Delivery

Straight after payment you can download your files on the order confirmation page, and we email you a link to that page. The link works for 30 days; after that we delete your order data (see the privacy policy), so please save the files on your device. Please check the spelling of any names before you order. If a file does not download, email us and we will send it another way.

6.4 How you may use paid products

You may print and use a paid product as often as you like at events that you or your own organisation run, including at your pub or venue, and you may charge entry and give prizes. You may give a personalised product to the person it was made for. You may not pass the files on to other hosts or venues, resell them or publish them, in whole or in part.

6.5 Your right to cancel

If you are a consumer, you have the right to cancel the contract within 14 days without giving any reason. The cancellation period ends 14 days after the day the contract is entered into.

To cancel, tell us (WANG PENG, Erich-Zeigner-Allee 16, 04229 Leipzig, Germany, email hello@pintandpencil.co.uk) by a clear statement, for example an email. You may use the model cancellation form below, but you do not have to. It is enough to send your message before the cancellation period ends.

Effects of cancellation. If you cancel, we will refund all payments received from you without undue delay and no later than 14 days after the day we are told of your decision. We will use the same means of payment you used, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; you will not pay any fees for the refund.

When you lose the right to cancel. Because the products are digital content that is not supplied on a tangible medium, you lose the right to cancel once the download has started, if you expressly agreed before paying that the supply could begin within the cancellation period and acknowledged that you would lose your right to cancel. You give this consent with two tick boxes on the order form, and we confirm it in the order email.

Model cancellation form (complete and return this form only if you wish to cancel the contract)

6.6 If something is wrong with a product

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, digital content must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. If a file will not open, is incomplete or has a mistake that we caused, email us. We will correct it or send a replacement, and if we cannot do that within a reasonable time, you are entitled to a refund. This does not affect any of your other legal rights.

7. Accuracy

We check every answer against a published source and show the source and the date of the check next to it. Facts can change and mistakes can happen, so we cannot promise that every answer is correct. At your quiz, the host's decision is final. If you think an answer is wrong, please tell us and we will check it.

8. Availability and changes

We provide the free parts of the site free of charge and may change, suspend or remove pages and tools at any time, for example to correct an answer or to improve a tool. We try to keep the site available but cannot promise that it will always be.

9. Our responsibility to you

If we fail to follow these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach or of our failure to use reasonable care and skill. We are not responsible for loss that was not foreseeable. If you use the site for a business, such as running a quiz at your pub, we are not liable for loss of profit, loss of business or business interruption.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited or excluded by law, and nothing affects your legal rights as a consumer.

10. Links to other sites

Our pages link to the sources we checked answers against and to other useful sites. We are not responsible for the content of those sites.

11. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may also bring proceedings in your local courts, and the mandatory consumer protection law of the place where you live still applies to you. Please contact us first; most problems can be sorted out by email.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date of the latest version is shown below. For a purchase, the version on the site when you placed the order applies; otherwise, the version on the site when you use it applies.
