Terms of use

Last updated: 7 November 2026.

IoThingsQuest is run by its founder, a Telco expert with more than 15 years experience in the IoT Industry, under the name IoThingsQuest ("we", "us"). Contact: contact@iothingsquest.com.

These terms apply when you use IoThingsQuest at iothingsquest.com (the "service"). By using it you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use it.

1. A free beta

The service is in beta: it is free, and we are still improving it. Missions, features and texts may change, and you may find errors. Telling us about them is one of the most useful things you can do.

2. Who can use the service

You can try the first mission without an account; to continue, you need a free account. To create an account you must be at least 16 years old; by creating one you confirm that you are.

3. Your account

  • You sign in with a link sent to your email address or with Google. Keep that email account secure: anyone who controls it can sign in.
  • Your account is personal. Do not share it.
  • You can download your data or delete your account at any time from your account page.

4. No payments during the beta

Nothing is charged during the beta. We may introduce paid plans later. We will tell you before that happens, and you will only pay if you choose to buy a plan, under terms shown at that time.

5. Quest Points and invitations

  • You earn Quest Points for your progress (missions, chapters, the whole project, a complete profile, streaks), for feedback that helps us, and when a friend you invite creates an account and completes the mission shown on your account page. The current values are on your account page.
  • Quest Points are a thank-you. They have no cash value, cannot be sold, transferred or exchanged for money, and do not unlock paid content on their own. Points expire 12 months after you earn them.
  • Invitation rewards stay pending for a few days. Rewards for invitations are limited to 20 per year, do not count for inviting yourself or throwaway email addresses, and may be cancelled if an account is deleted or the programme is misused.
  • Share your invite link only with people who are happy to receive it; do not send unsolicited messages in bulk.
  • We may change the values or end the programme. Points earned before a change stay in your history; if we end the programme we will tell you in advance where we can.

6. Your feedback

If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them to improve the service, without any obligation or payment to you. Please do not include confidential information about your employer, clients or other people.

7. What you write in missions

The documents you write in missions (your portfolio) remain yours. We store them only to show them to you and to run the service. Do not enter confidential information or other people's personal data: the missions are about a fictional project.

8. Acceptable use

  • Do not copy, scrape, download in bulk or republish the content.
  • Do not try to disrupt the service, get around its limits or access other people's data.
  • Do not use the service for anything unlawful.

9. Content

The missions, texts and images belong to us or our licensors and are protected by copyright. You may use them for your own learning. The companies, people and figures in the missions are fictional. The content explains general principles: it is not professional, technical, legal or financial advice for a real project.

10. Availability and changes

The service is provided free and "as is", and may sometimes be unavailable or contain errors. We may change, pause or end the beta; where we can, we will tell you in advance so you can download your data.

11. Liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for decisions you make based on the content. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or your rights as a consumer.

12. Ending your use

You can stop using the service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend accounts that break these terms; where appropriate we will tell you why first.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date of the latest version is shown above, and we will tell you about important changes by email or on the site.
