ABOUT A QUIZ MEISTERS QUIZ
A Quiz Meisters quiz can vary in length according to the quiz, the crowd and the event. A Quiz Meisters quiz usually runs for approximately 2–2.5 hours for our In-Person shows, or 1–1.5 hours for our Online shows; however, different quizzes/quiz times are available upon request. Please let us know if the quiz time needed for your event changes. If your event/quiz runs longer than expected (at the fault of the organiser), you will be charged $77 per half-hour. If this is the fault of the host, there will be no extra payment needed.
While our In-Person are commonly 2-2.5 hours in length, we can offer a reduced length at 1 hour or 1.5 hours. While this may be shorter than our standard length of our shows, these reduced quizzes still retain our core values of standard trivia and our Audio-Visual segments.
However, we don’t offer a reduced price for these shortened shows. This is due to the following:
OUR RESPONSIBILITIES
We will use our best endeavours to:
PREPARATION PRIOR TO THE EVENT
Quiz Meisters will arrange for a trained Quiz Meisters host to contact your event’s organiser three days prior to your quiz to discuss the format of your quiz, audio/visual (A/V) requirements, and to just say g’day. If a physical event, your host will arrive at the quiz venue an hour before the quiz and/or event is due to start to set up the A/V equipment and do a sound check. Your host will present the quiz and mark the answer sheets as the quiz progresses (as part of our COVID-Safe measures, teams may need to mark their own sheets). If an online event, the host will open the event 15 minutes prior. Our hosts are a fun bunch, but we have trained them to present professionally, as they are the face of Quiz Meisters. Quiz Meisters will provide the quiz questions, physical or online answer sheets, pens and all A/V gear needed (please see below).
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
You are responsible for your conduct and ensuring that you comply with these terms and conditions. In particular, you must:
and ensure that:
Should any aspect of your event, or what you require from us or the quiz we have been instructed to give, changes then please let us know as soon as possible. It is a good idea for you to organise prizes for the first, second and third place winners in the quizzes, and a wooden spoon is always a good idea for the team that comes last. There are a handful of games included in the quiz and we also recommend that you supply prizes for these. We shall notify you of the number of games that will be included in your quiz. Please advise us as soon as possible if you are expecting more than 180 people to attend the quiz. Our standard A/V equipment may not be appropriate and we may require you to make alternate arrangements with a third-party audio/visual company.
CHARGES AND PAYMENT
We shall issue our invoice for your quiz within 7 business days of the quiz, barring any unforeseen circumstances. If the venue for the quiz is more than 50 minutes’ travel from the CBD, then we shall charge a small travel fee. For events held more than 1.5 hours away from the CBD, we will contact you with a quote for regional travel. If the venue for the quiz is within the CBD then:
You must pay our invoice within 7 days of its issuance. We accept payment via cheque, EFT, cash, or credit card. Please note: if you are paying by credit card, there is a surcharge of 1.85% for domestic cards including Visa, MasterCard and AMEX. This is automatically added when you pay your invoice through our online payment service.
We can’t issue your final invoice for the remaining outstanding until after your show has taken place. This is to ensure that all factors of the show, inclusive of anything above, are considered when we invoice you for the final amount, and you can be charged the correct amount for your show.
PUBLIC HOLIDAYS
If your event is booked for a public holiday, you will incur a 15% public holiday surcharge.
DEPOSIT
A non-refundable $100 deposit will be required at time of booking. The booking will not be confirmed until the deposit is paid.

CANCELLATION POLICY

If you cancel your booking after the deposit has been paid, the deposit amount will be retained as a cancellation fee. There is no additional cancellation fee. If you have requested any additional custom content for your quiz you will be charged 100% of the custom content costs (on top of the $100 non-refundable deposit).
CORPORATE EVENTS COVID-19 POLICY
Quiz Meisters is dedicated to mitigating risks to our staff and clients, including those specific to Covid-19. It is our expectation that all staff will adhere to the current guidelines for hygiene, social distancing and self isolation as mandated by the federal and state governments.
If Covid-19 regulations and restrictions affect the status of your event, we will work with you to postpone your event to a later date until it is safe to do so. We will work to adhere to our Covid-19 policy as well as government regulations, but also adhere to our cancellation policy outlined in our terms and conditions. If your event has to be cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions put in place and cannot be postponed, the deposit amount will be retained as a cancellation fee. If you have requested any additional custom content for your quiz, you will be charged for the costs of any production that has already occured (on top of the $100 non-refundable deposit).
DEBT RECOVERY
Very infrequently, a client falls into arrears. In this case, Quiz Meisters will make every effort to advise you if you are in arrears via email and/or phone to arrange payment of the outstanding amount. If payment has not been made within 90 days following the issuance of our invoice, we may have no alternative but to refer the matter to a debt collection agency. Should your account end up in arrears with no response or communication to Quiz Meisters/Sheepoll, then your account will be referred to our Debt Collection Agency. You will then incur an additional charge consisting of all costs required to engage such services to our successful recovery on all fronts.
LIMITATION OF OUR LIABILITY
We will provide the quiz with reasonable care and skill. However, we will not be liable to you for any loss or damage in the following cases:
QUIZ MEISTERS’ INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY & ASSETS

In signing these terms and conditions, you agree to take reasonable steps to resolve any dispute that may arise by emailing us at admin@quizmeisters.com.au and informally outlining the issues you have.
