Termination does not automatically remove obligations that by their nature should continue, including intellectual-property restrictions, liability provisions, dispute provisions, privacy/retention provisions and payment obligations already incurred.

13. Study Quiz Games and Rooms

StudyMateEra may allow users to create rooms, join rooms or join randomly available rooms for study-related quiz games.

  • Game rules may differ by room or game mode.
  • Scores and rankings may depend on answers, timing and applicable rules.

  • StudyMateEra may cancel, reset, modify or terminate a game when reasonably necessary because of technical issues, cheating, abuse or other legitimate reasons.

14. Events and Rewards

Administrators may create test-type events in which eligible participants may receive rewards. Each event may specify eligibility, dates, test rules, tie-breakers, winner determination, verification, reward details and other conditions.

Participation does not guarantee a reward. A reward may be withheld or changed where permitted by applicable law if eligibility cannot be verified, fraud or manipulation is detected, the participant violates event rules, or circumstances outside reasonable control affect the event.

Any tax, documentation or other legal obligation associated with a reward will be handled according to applicable law and the specific event terms.

15. Paid Services, Subscriptions and Payments

Where StudyMateEra offers paid plans or subscriptions, the applicable price, billing period, inclusions and renewal terms will be shown before purchase.

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers. Their terms may also apply.

16. Cancellation and Refunds

Refund eligibility, cancellation and renewal treatment will depend on the purchased service, transaction terms, applicable law and any specific refund policy displayed at purchase.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or restrict a consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

17. Intellectual Property

Except for User Content and third-party material, StudyMateEra and its licensors retain rights in the application, website, software, branding, interface, original text, graphics, databases, design and other proprietary material.

Exam names, examination authority names, syllabi, question papers, marks, logos and other third-party material may belong to their respective owners. Their appearance on StudyMateEra does not by itself imply endorsement or affiliation.

You must not copy, republish, sell, redistribute, reverse engineer or commercially exploit proprietary StudyMateEra material except as permitted by law or written authorization.

18. Privacy

Your use of the service is also governed by the StudyMateEra Privacy Policy, which explains how personal information may be collected, used, retained, disclosed and protected.

Some information may need to be retained where required by law or reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, enforcement of these Terms, accounting or other legitimate purposes.

Content already shared with other users may have been copied, quoted or independently retained by them and may not be capable of complete removal from third-party copies.

StudyMateEra may add, modify, suspend or discontinue features, tests, communities, games, events or other services. We may perform maintenance and may temporarily limit access.

We do not promise that every feature will always be available, error-free, uninterrupted or compatible with every device.

21. Educational and Examination Disclaimer

StudyMateEra is an educational preparation and practice platform. It does not guarantee selection, rank, marks, admission, employment or success in any examination.

Examination dates, syllabi, rules, answer keys and other official information may change. Users should verify important examination information against the relevant official authority.

StudyMateEra may provide educational interpretations, practice questions and community discussions; these should not automatically be treated as official statements of an examination authority.

22. Liability and User Responsibility

To the extent permitted by applicable law, StudyMateEra is not responsible for losses arising solely from a user's failure to protect credentials, misuse of the service, reliance on unofficial information, user-generated content, third-party services or circumstances beyond reasonable control.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

23. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are intended to be governed by the laws of India, subject to applicable consumer and other mandatory legal protections.

Any jurisdiction clause should be finalized after legal review based on the operator's actual principal place of business and applicable Indian law. This avoids accidentally inserting an incorrect court or jurisdiction into the public Terms.

24. Changes to These Terms

StudyMateEra may update these Terms when features, business practices or legal requirements change. Continued use after an updated version becomes effective may constitute acceptance to the extent permitted by law.
