Terms of Use

The Service is a private, independently operated digital learning tool designed to help users prepare for the Norwegian citizenship test (Statsborgerprøven) and the Norwegian test in social studies (Samfunnskunnskapsprøven). The Service provides practice questions, explanations, progress tracking, and related study features, organized into topic modules.

The Service is a private initiative. It is not operated, endorsed, certified, or affiliated in any way with the Norwegian state, the Norwegian Directorate for Higher Education and Skills (Direktoratet for høyere utdanning og kompetanse), any municipality, any test center, or any other official body responsible for the real examinations. References to “Statsborgerprøven” and “Samfunnskunnskapsprøven” describe the real, official tests that the Service helps users prepare for; they are not a claim of affiliation with the bodies administering those tests.

Use of the Service, including a high score in the quizzes, does not guarantee, warrant, or predict a passing result on the real, official examination. The Service is a study aid only.

The Service is intended for users aged 16 or older. If you are under the age of 18, you may only enter into a paid subscription with the consent of a parent or legal guardian, who will be responsible for the subscription and any charges.

You must provide accurate information when creating an account and keep your login credentials confidential. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

Certain parts of the Service require a paid subscription (“Subscription”). Subscription plans, durations, and prices are displayed at checkout and may change from time to time; changes will not affect a Subscription period you have already paid for.

Payments are processed by third-party payment providers (including Stripe). By subscribing, you authorize the applicable charge for the plan you select. Subscriptions do not automatically renew unless this is explicitly stated at checkout for the plan you choose; where a plan does renew automatically, you will be able to cancel before the renewal date to avoid the next charge.

Right of withdrawal (angrerett). As a consumer in Norway, you generally have a 14-day right of withdrawal from a distance contract. Because the Service is digital content delivered immediately upon payment, this withdrawal right is lost once you expressly request immediate access and acknowledge that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal, and we have begun performance. Where required by law, we will ask for this confirmation at checkout before granting access.

Except where required by mandatory consumer law, payments are non-refundable once access to the corresponding Subscription period has been granted.

You may cancel a recurring Subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting us. Cancellation stops future charges but does not, by itself, entitle you to a refund for the current, already-paid period, except where required by mandatory consumer law.

All content made available through the Service, including but not limited to the question bank, answer options, explanations, topic structure and categorization (including the division of the curriculum into its topic modules), translations, illustrations, user interface, design, software, source code, databases, and the selection and arrangement of the foregoing (together, the “Content”), is owned by the Provider or its licensors and is protected by copyright, database rights, trademark rights, and other intellectual property laws, including the Norwegian Act relating to Copyright in Literary, Scientific and Artistic Works (åndsverkloven).

Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership in the Content or the Service to you. All rights not expressly granted to you in Section 6 are reserved by the Provider.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and, where applicable, payment of the relevant Subscription fee, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to access and use the Service and its Content for your own individual, non-commercial exam preparation.

This license does not permit you to use the Service or the Content for any purpose other than your own personal exam preparation.

Without our prior written consent, you must not, and must not authorize, assist, or enable any third party (including any automated tool, bot, script, or artificial intelligence system) to:

1. copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, transmit, publicly display, sell, rent, lease, or otherwise make available any question, answer option, explanation, or other part of the Content, in whole or in any excerpt, extract, or summary, in any form or medium, including by screenshot, transcription, or manual copying;
2. scrape, crawl, harvest, mine, index, or otherwise systematically extract data, text, or content from the Service, whether through automated means, bots, scripts, browser extensions, or repeated manual requests;
3. access or attempt to access the Service through any interface or method other than the interface and instructions we provide, including by circumventing, disabling, or interfering with any access control, rate limit, paywall, or authentication mechanism;
4. reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, underlying structure, ideas, algorithms, or question database of the Service, except to the extent this restriction is expressly prohibited by mandatory law;
5. build, develop, or assist in building or developing a product or service that reproduces, imitates, or is substantially derived from the Service, its question bank, its topic structure, or its core functionality, whether for competitive, commercial, or non-commercial purposes (“rebuilding” or “cloning” the Service);
6. use the Content, in whole or in part, to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or otherwise develop any machine learning or artificial intelligence model or system;
7. remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice contained in the Service or Content; or
8. share your account or Subscription access with any person who has not personally agreed to these Terms.

These restrictions apply regardless of whether the underlying questions relate to publicly known facts about Norway; it is the Provider’s specific selection, wording, structure, translation, and compilation of that material that is protected.

We actively monitor the Service for abuse and may use technical measures, including rate limiting, request throttling, and IP or account blocking, against activity that we reasonably believe violates Section 7.

A violation of Section 7 is a material breach of these Terms. In addition to immediate suspension or termination of your account under Section 12, we reserve the right to pursue all remedies available to us under Norwegian law and applicable international law, including injunctive relief, damages, and recovery of reasonable costs and expenses, and to report conduct that may constitute a criminal offense (including under the Norwegian Copyright Act or the Norwegian Penal Code’s provisions on computer intrusion) to the competent authorities.

If you submit a review, rating, question report, or other feedback through the Service (“User Content”), you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license to use, reproduce, adapt, publish, and display that User Content, including in anonymized or aggregated form, for purposes such as improving the Service and displaying testimonials, without further compensation to you. Do not submit User Content that is unlawful, defamatory, or that you do not have the right to share.

You agree not to use the Service to violate any applicable law; to upload or transmit malware; to interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure; to attempt unauthorized access to any account, system, or network connected to the Service; or to engage in any conduct that restricts or inhibits any other person’s use of the Service.

The Service relies on third-party providers, including Firebase (authentication and data storage), Stripe (payment processing), and RevenueCat (subscription and entitlement management). Your use of the Service is also subject to the applicable terms and privacy practices of these providers to the extent they process your data on our behalf.

We may suspend or terminate your account and access to the Service, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, in particular Section 7, or if required to do so by law. You may stop using the Service and, where applicable, delete your account at any time through your account settings.

Sections 5, 6 (as a revoked license), 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, and 17 survive termination of your account or these Terms.

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, except to the extent such warranties cannot be excluded under mandatory Norwegian consumer law. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that the Content is fully accurate, complete, or up to date with the current official examination syllabus.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Provider shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the Service. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited under mandatory Norwegian consumer law, including liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or death or personal injury.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Provider from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Service, except to the extent caused by our own breach or negligence.

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide reasonable notice, for example by posting a notice within the Service or updating the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them or the Service are governed by the laws of Norway, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The courts of Norway, with Oslo District Court (Oslo tingrett) as the agreed venue where permitted by law, have jurisdiction over any such dispute, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer-protection rules that entitle you to bring proceedings elsewhere.

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect, and the invalid provision will be replaced by a valid provision that most closely reflects its intended effect. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Provider regarding the Service. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision.
