4Nature and provenance of the Content

4.1The greater part of the Content available on the Site consists of Community Content. Community Content is not authored by the Operator. It is authored by third parties, including tutors, teachers, students and tutoring agencies, and is made available on the Site either at the instance of its author or by way of Submission by a User.

4.2Community Content is attributed on the Site to its author, together with a link to the author's website where one is available. Where the author is a tutoring agency or other provider, the Content is attributed to that provider under its own name.

4.3The Operator hosts Community Content in reliance upon the representations and warranties given by the Contributor pursuant to clause 6. The Operator does not, and does not undertake to, verify the authorship, originality or rights position of any Submission prior to its publication on the Site.

4.4It is the policy of the Operator that only material which is already freely accessible to the public without payment shall be accepted for publication on the Site. Material which is offered for sale, or which is accessible only upon payment, subscription, registration or other restriction, shall not be accepted, and any Submission of such material shall be refused. Any person who considers that material published on the Site is offered for sale elsewhere is requested to notify the Operator in accordance with clause 7, whereupon the material shall be removed.

4.5The Operator is under no general obligation to monitor Content stored on or transmitted through the Site, nor actively to seek facts or circumstances indicating unlawful activity, and undertakes no such obligation. The Operator shall act in accordance with clause 7 upon receipt of notice of infringing or otherwise unlawful Content.

4.6Opinions, methods and explanations expressed in Community Content, including worked solutions, are those of the author and are not endorsed by, and shall not be attributed to, the Operator.

5Intellectual property rights

5.1Official Content. All Intellectual Property Rights in Official Content relating to the Test of Mathematics for University Admission vest in Cambridge University Press & Assessment and in UAT‑UK. All Intellectual Property Rights in Official Content relating to the Mathematics Admissions Test vest in the University of Oxford. Official Content is made available on the Site solely for the purpose of personal, non-commercial examination preparation. The Operator asserts no ownership of, and claims no rights in, any Official Content.

5.2Community Content. All Intellectual Property Rights in Community Content remain vested in the author thereof or in such other person as is entitled to them. Nothing in these Terms, and nothing in the publication of Community Content on the Site, shall operate to assign or transfer any such right to the Operator or to any User, or to grant any User a licence to reproduce, distribute or otherwise exploit Community Content otherwise than in accordance with clause 3.1.

5.3Operator Content. All Intellectual Property Rights in the Site itself, including its software, the practice interface, its design, layout and presentation, its original text and its ratings, and in all Content not falling within clause 5.1 or 5.2, are owned by or licensed to the Operator. Save as expressly permitted by clause 3.1, no part of such Content may be reproduced, stored or transmitted in any form without the prior written consent of the Operator.

5.4Any Rights Holder in respect of Community Content may at any time, and without being required to state a reason, require that the Content in question be removed from the Site, amended, or attributed differently, in accordance with the procedure set out in clause 7.

6Submissions

6.1This clause 6 applies to every Submission.

6.2Retention of rights. The Contributor retains all Intellectual Property Rights in a Submission. Nothing in these Terms shall operate as an assignment of any such right to the Operator.

6.3Licence. By making a Submission the Contributor grants to the Operator a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, display, transcribe, format, correct, adapt for accessibility and distribute the Submission on and through the Site, and to reproduce short extracts of the Submission for the purpose of describing the Site. The licence shall subsist until terminated by the Contributor by written notice to the Operator at the address in clause 12, whereupon the Submission shall be removed from the Site within a reasonable period.

6.4Warranties. By making a Submission the Contributor warrants and represents to the Operator that:

1. the Contributor is the author of the Submission, or is otherwise authorised by the Rights Holder to make the Submission and to grant the licence in clause 6.3;
2. the Submission is already freely accessible to the public without payment, and is not offered for sale nor accessible only upon payment, subscription, registration or other restriction;
3. the Submission, and its publication on the Site in accordance with these Terms, does not and shall not infringe the Intellectual Property Rights or any other right of any third party, and is not reproduced from Official Content without the authority of the relevant Rights Holder;
4. the Submission is not confidential and is not subject to any obligation of confidence, non-disclosure or examination security;
5. the Submission is not defamatory, obscene or otherwise unlawful, and does not infringe the privacy of any person;
6. the attribution requested by the Contributor is accurate and complete.

6.5Indemnity. The Contributor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Operator against all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal costs, suffered or incurred by the Operator arising out of or in connection with any breach of the warranties in clause 6.4. This clause 6.5 shall not apply to a Contributor acting as a consumer to the extent that applicable law does not permit such an indemnity to be given.

6.6Editorial discretion. The Operator may, at its absolute discretion and without notice or reason, edit a Submission for the purposes of transcription, formatting, factual correction or accessibility, and may decline to publish, or remove, any Submission at any time.

7Notice and takedown

7.1Requests by authors. A Rights Holder in respect of Community Content who wishes that Content to be removed, amended or attributed differently need only notify the Operator by email, identifying the Content by reference to its location on the Site and stating the action requested. No formal notice is required and no reason need be given. Clauses 7.2 to 7.6 shall not apply to such a request.

7.2Formal notice. A Rights Holder who wishes to give formal notice of infringement, including notice pursuant to section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA, shall provide the following in writing to the address in clause 12. A notice omitting any of the following may not be capable of being acted upon:

1. identification of the copyright work claimed to have been infringed or, where multiple works are the subject of a single notice, a representative list of such works;
2. identification of the material claimed to be infringing, together with information reasonably sufficient to permit the Operator to locate it, including the URL of each page on which it appears;
3. the name, postal address, telephone number and email address of the person giving notice;
4. a statement that the person giving notice has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the Rights Holder, its agent or the law;
5. a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, in the case of a notice under the DMCA, under penalty of perjury, that the person giving notice is the Rights Holder or is authorised to act on the Rights Holder's behalf;
6. the physical or electronic signature of the person giving notice.

7.3Action upon notice. Upon receipt of a notice complying with clause 7.2, or of any other notice from which the Operator is able to identify the Content complained of and the basis of the complaint, the Operator shall:

1. expeditiously remove or disable access to the Content in question. Where a complaint is unclear or is disputed, the Content shall be suspended from the Site pending resolution;
2. notify the Contributor of the Content that it has been removed or disabled, state the grounds, and furnish the Contributor with a copy of the notice; and
3. notify the person giving notice of the action taken.

7.4Counter-notice. A Contributor whose Content has been removed or disabled pursuant to clause 7.3, and who believes in good faith that such removal resulted from mistake or misidentification, may serve a counter-notice on the Operator at the address in clause 12 containing:

1. identification of the material removed or disabled and of the location at which it appeared prior to removal;
2. a statement, made under penalty of perjury where the original notice was given under the DMCA, that the Contributor has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
3. the Contributor's name, postal address, telephone number and email address;
4. a statement that the Contributor consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the district in which the Contributor resides or, if the Contributor resides outside the United States, of any judicial district in which the Operator or the person who gave the original notice may be found; and
5. the physical or electronic signature of the Contributor.

7.5Upon receipt of a counter-notice complying with clause 7.4 the Operator shall furnish a copy to the person who gave the original notice. Where the DMCA applies and the Operator does not, within ten business days of furnishing that copy, receive notice that proceedings have been commenced to restrain the Contributor from the activity complained of, the Operator may restore the material not less than ten nor more than fourteen business days after receipt of the counter-notice.

7.6Repeat infringers. It is the policy of the Operator to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the access of any User or Contributor who is determined to be a repeat infringer, and to remove from the Site all Content submitted by that person. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, where two or more separate items submitted by the same Contributor have been removed pursuant to valid notices, the Operator shall review all remaining Content submitted by that Contributor and may withdraw it in whole or in part.

7.7Misrepresentation. Any person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that Content is infringing, or that Content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for any damages, costs and expenses, including legal costs, incurred by the Operator, by the Contributor or by any Rights Holder as a result of such misrepresentation. The Operator reserves the right to decline to act upon any notice which appears to have been given in bad faith or for the purpose of suppressing lawful Content.

8Disclaimers

8.1The Site and all Content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator excludes all representations, warranties, conditions and other terms, whether express or implied by statute, common law or otherwise, including any implied warranty of accuracy, completeness, satisfactory quality or fitness for a particular purpose.

8.2Without limiting clause 8.1, the Operator makes no representation that any question, answer, worked solution, topic classification or rating on the Site is accurate, complete or free from error.

8.3Realism ratings and difficulty ratings published on the Site represent the qualitative assessment of the Operator alone. Such ratings are not endorsed by, and do not purport to represent the views of, the authors of the Content rated, and are not a measure of the quality of any author's work.

8.4Any conversion of a raw score to a grade or scaled score published on the Site is an estimate only. No conversion table has been published by UAT‑UK in respect of any sitting since 2024, and the relationship between raw marks and reported grades varies between sittings. Nothing on the Site constitutes advice of any kind, and no decision concerning an application for admission to any institution should be made in reliance upon it.

8.5The Site is independent. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or otherwise connected to UAT‑UK, Cambridge University Press & Assessment, the University of Oxford, Pearson VUE, or any university or examination board. The practice interface provided on the Site is a TMUA-style study aid for timed, on-screen practice and is not, and does not purport to be, the examination delivery system. References to universities appear solely to identify institutions which accept the examination for admissions purposes.

9Limitation of liability

9.1To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator shall not be liable to any User, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise, for any loss or damage arising out of or in connection with the use of, or inability to use, the Site, or reliance upon any Content, including without limitation any examination result, any admissions outcome, any loss of opportunity, any loss of or corruption to data, and any loss arising from the unavailability of the Site or from any error or omission in Content.

9.2Nothing in these Terms shall exclude or limit the liability of the Operator for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited by applicable law.

9.3Where a User is a consumer, nothing in these Terms shall affect the statutory rights of that User.

10General

10.1Severance. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, that provision shall be severed and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

10.2Waiver. No failure or delay by the Operator in exercising any right or remedy under these Terms shall operate as a waiver of that right or remedy, nor shall any single or partial exercise preclude any further exercise.

10.3Third-party rights. Save as expressly provided, no person other than the Operator and the User shall have any right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any provision of these Terms.

10.4Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the privacy policy, constitute the entire agreement between the Operator and the User in relation to the use of the Site and supersede all prior representations and understandings.

11Governing law and jurisdiction

11.1These Terms, and any dispute or claim (including any non-contractual dispute or claim) arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales.

11.2The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim. Nothing in this clause 11 shall prevent a Rights Holder from giving notice under the law of any other jurisdiction, and notices under the DMCA shall be dealt with in accordance with clause 7.

12Notices and contact

12.1All notices, complaints, counter-notices and other correspondence in connection with these Terms shall be sent by email to [email protected]. A notice sent by email shall be deemed received on the working day following transmission.

12.2The processing of personal data in connection with the Site is governed by the privacy policy.
