Terms of Use

Version 2026-10-10.2 · Privacy Policy

These Terms are an agreement between you and the operator of Quillnest ("we", "us", the "Operator"). By creating an account, joining a class or using Quillnest you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use it.

1. Who these Terms apply to

  • Institutes and teachers ("Institute") who set up classes and student accounts.
  • Students who join an Institute's class. The Institute is responsible for its students (see section 6).
  • Learners: adults aged 18 or over who use the CAT / NMAT practice section on their own. You must give your true date of birth when you sign up. We use it only to check your age and do not store it.

2. Our content and your licence to use it

Quillnest, including its questions, answer options, explanations, solutions, topic structure, the way the material is selected and arranged, the software, design, logo and name, belongs to the Operator or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership to you.

We give you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use Quillnest for study and teaching while your access is active. An Institute may read out or project questions to its own enrolled students during class, using the features of the app.

3. What you must not do

  • Copy, reproduce, republish, sell, rent, share, print for distribution, photograph or screen-record the questions, answers, explanations or any other content, in whole or in part, except as section 2 allows.
  • Use bots, scrapers, scripts or any automated means to read, collect, download or extract content, or build a database, question bank, dataset or product from it.
  • Use the content to train, test or improve any artificial intelligence or machine learning system, or to build a competing product or service.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, probe or attack the service, or get around its security, rate limits, time limits, subscription checks or access controls.
  • Share your login with anyone, or use someone else's account.
  • Remove or hide copyright or ownership notices.
  • Post names or any other content that is abusive, hateful, sexual, or otherwise unlawful or unsuitable for children.
  • Use Quillnest in any way that breaks the law or harms others.

We may log activity to enforce this section. If we reasonably believe you have broken it, we may suspend or end your access immediately without refund, and we may take legal action, including seeking an injunction and damages.

4. Accounts

Keep your password safe. You are responsible for what happens under your account. Give us accurate information. Tell us straight away if you think your account has been misused. Learners must be 18 or over and must give their true date of birth to sign up; children can only join through an Institute's class.

CAT / NMAT subscription. The CAT / NMAT section is free to try with limits (for example a number of free questions in each topic and a number of free mock tests); we may change these limits. Full access is a paid subscription (or a free approval we give you). The price and length of access are shown on the payment page. Pay by UPI and send us the payment reference or screenshot; we switch your full access on once we see the payment, and it lasts for the period you paid for. Payments already made are not refundable unless we agree otherwise in writing or the law requires it. You can delete your account at any time.

5. Subscriptions and payment (Institutes)

  • A new Institute account gets a short free trial (currently 14 days, starting when the account is created). After it, access needs a paid subscription at the price and for the term agreed with us in writing (message, email or otherwise).
  • Fees are paid in advance, by UPI (using the QR code or UPI ID shown on the renewal page) or another method we accept. We record each payment by hand once we see it, so please send us the payment reference or screenshot.
  • A paid term starts on the day we record your payment. If you pay before your current term has ended, the new term is added after the end of the current one, so no paid days are lost. A "month" means 30 days.
  • When a term ends there is a short grace period (currently 3 days). After that, access for the Institute and all of its students is paused until a new payment is made. Paying restores access. We may also pause an account at any time for breach of these Terms (section 3).
  • Pausing is not deletion: while access is paused we keep the Institute's data. If a subscription stays unpaid, we may permanently delete the Institute's classes, student accounts and records 90 days after access ended. We will try to warn you before we do.
  • Fees for a term already paid are not refundable unless we agree otherwise in writing or the law requires it.
  • We may change prices for future terms with at least 30 days' notice.

6. Institutes: your responsibilities for students

By creating a teacher account you confirm that you are authorised to accept these Terms for your Institute, and that:

  • Parent or guardian consent. Before any child is added to a class, or joins it with the class code, you will have obtained, from the child's parent or lawful guardian, verifiable written consent to (a) the child using Quillnest and (b) us processing the child's information as set out in the Privacy Policy. "Verifiable" means that you have checked the identity of the person giving consent and that they are an adult and the child's parent or lawful guardian. A parent's simple statement that they are the parent is not enough.
  • Evidence. You will keep each signed consent for as long as the child has an account and afterwards for the period the law requires, and you will give us a copy, or show us the original, within 7 days of our asking. We may ask at any time, and will ask if a parent, a regulator or a complaint requires it. If you cannot show valid consent for a child, we may remove that child's account and may pause your Institute's access.
  • Confirmation in the app. Before a class can add students, the app asks you to confirm that you hold this consent and to say how it was collected. We keep a log of each confirmation, with the date, your account and the version of these Terms. We do not collect parents' details: the signed consents stay with you.
  • Withdrawal. If a parent or guardian withdraws consent, or asks for their child's account to be deleted, you will remove the child from the class (which deletes the account and its data) promptly, and tell us if you need our help.
  • you will only add students who are actually enrolled with you, and will remove students who leave;
  • you will supervise your students' use of Quillnest and keep class codes and student passwords from people outside your class;
  • you are responsible for your staff's and students' use of Quillnest and for any breach of these Terms by them.

7. Students

If you are a student, you use Quillnest because your teacher or Institute has set it up for you. Please be kind, use your own account, keep your password private and do not share the questions with anyone outside your class. If you are under 18, your parent or guardian should know that you are using Quillnest.

7A. Doubts and messages to teachers

Students can send their teacher a short "doubt" about a question they have just answered, by choosing a reason and, if they like, writing a short note. Only the teacher can read it. The note must be about the question: do not write personal details such as phone numbers, addresses or other people's names, and do not write anything rude or harmful. We may limit how many doubts a student can send, and may remove notes that break these rules. An Institute is responsible for how its teachers reply, and for keeping replies appropriate for children.

7B. Questions that teachers add

Teachers can write their own questions in the app. A teacher's questions stay private to that teacher's own students unless the teacher chooses to share them. You keep the rights in what you write. You confirm that you wrote each question yourself or have the right to use it, and that it does not copy a textbook, another publisher's material or anyone else's work.

If you tick "share with Quillnest" on a question, you give us a free, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to use that question as an example to write similar questions, and to include the questions we write in Quillnest's shared question bank for all institutes. We review what we write before children see it. You can untick the share option or delete a question at any time: that stops further use of it as an example, but questions already written from it stay in the bank. We may remove any question that breaks these Terms.

Photos. A teacher may attach a photo to a question, for example a handwritten question or a diagram. Please photograph only the question: do not include children, faces, names or any personal details. A photo is kept re-saved at a smaller size without hidden data such as location, is shown only to that teacher's own students, and is deleted when the question or the account is deleted. If the optional "read the text from the photo" feature is switched on, the photo is sent to an AI service only to read the writing, and nothing is kept by that service for training. Always check what it read: handwriting can be misread.

8. Exams and results

CAT, NMAT and other exam names belong to their respective owners. Quillnest is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any exam body or institute. Quillnest is a practice aid. We do not promise any score, rank, admission or result, and questions and explanations may sometimes contain mistakes. Please report any you find.

9. Availability and changes

We work to keep Quillnest running but do not guarantee it will always be available or error-free. We may change, add or remove features and content, and may update these Terms. If a change is important we will ask you to agree again; continuing to use Quillnest after a change means you accept it.

10. Disclaimer and limit of liability

Quillnest is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, the Operator is not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or for loss of data, profits or opportunity, arising from use of or inability to use Quillnest. Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the fees you paid us in the three months before the claim arose (or, if you pay nothing, to ₹1,000). Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

11. You are responsible for your actions

You agree to compensate the Operator for losses, claims and costs (including reasonable legal fees) that arise from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of Quillnest.

12. Ending your access

You may stop using Quillnest at any time. We may suspend or end access for breach of these Terms or non-payment. Sections 2, 3, 10, 11 and 13 continue after access ends. If you ask us to delete your account we will, subject to the retention periods in the Privacy Policy.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. The courts in India having jurisdiction over the place where the Operator is based have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, subject to any mandatory rights you have under law.

14. Contact

For questions about these Terms, or to report misuse of our content, contact the Operator through the details you were given when you signed up.
