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:

  • It requires more work for our creative team to condense the quiz to the desired length while still maintaining our brand of trivia.
  • Our hosts have to adjust their hosting to the different timeframe of the standard length of our shows.
  • It still requires the same amount of admin and preparation for a shorter length show than it would for a standard 2-2.5 hour show. It can at times require more admin and preparation.
  • We pay our hosts an award rate of 3 hours minimum for their time hosting these shows.


OUR RESPONSIBILITIES
‍We will use our best endeavours to:

  • provide the quiz with all the skill, care and diligence to be expected from a qualified, competent, and experienced quiz provider;
  • ensure that the quiz is carried out by our employees or agents who are properly trained, experienced, and accredited to run the quiz;
  • act in your best interests in connection with these terms and conditions;
  • and provide the quiz in a timely and efficient manner, and meet all reasonable deadlines set by you, in accordance with these terms and conditions.


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:

  • cooperate with us as we reasonably require; provide the information and documentation that we reasonably require;
  • on request, make available to us such facilities as we reasonably require;
  • ensure that our staff, employees and contractors are provided with a safe working environment;
  • ensure that your staff and agents cooperate with and assist us;

and ensure that:

  • the use by us or any person authorised by us of any material will not infringe the rights (including intellectual property rights) of any person or give rise to any obligation on our behalf (or any person authorised by us) to pay compensation or royalty to any person;
  • the information and material provided by you to us is accurate and true.

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:

  • If the start time for the quiz is before 5.00pm and parking has not been arranged by you, then our Quiz Meisters host will arrange their own parking and the full cost of such parking will be included in our invoice.
  • If the start time for the quiz is after 5.00pm then we will require you to arrange for them to have a car parking space for the duration of the quiz. If a car parking space cannot be arranged then we shall charge the full cost of parking that the host has had to organise themselves.
  • If the quiz takes place within 7 days of booking a Short Notice Booking Surcharge of 10% of your show’s total fee will be incurred on your booking fee.
  • If your quiz is scheduled for Saturday or Sunday, additional weekend charges of $75 for In-Person and $55 for Online will apply.
  • Custom content requires additional production time and must be provided in advance. Bonus Questions must be received by our team one week in advance of the show, while Custom Built quizzes require 2 weeks minimum. If this is not met, a 10% surcharge will be applied to the custom production costs. Custom requests made within 72 hours of the show are not guaranteed due to the lack of time to produce them.

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.

‍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.

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.
‍

  • If we are unable to provide our quiz to you due to any reasons beyond our control;
