Notes Terms

Effective 11 October 2026

MatchMax's role and the licence chain

MatchMax sells a digital file to the buyer. The selling tutor warrants that they own the material — or hold written permission — and licenses the file to MatchMax for sale. The tutor is an independent seller; MatchMax is not the tutor's agent.

The tutor's warranty and the ban list

Every upload warrants that the material is the tutor's own work or carries written permission, and that it is not on the ban list. The ban list is published on the notes guide and includes:

  • School internal tests, mocks, or answer keys.
  • Publisher worksheets or textbook pages.
  • HKEAA DSE, TSA, HKCEE, or HKALE papers or marking schemes.
  • IB past papers, markschemes, questionbanks, or the last two exam sessions.
  • Another student's IA, EE, or TOK work without written permission.
  • A file with a phone number, WhatsApp, Instagram, or QR code inside.

The buyer's licence

A purchase grants a personal licence: one student, no resale, no class set, no uploading elsewhere. Sharing the file beyond the buyer's own use ends the licence.

Delivery

Files are delivered inside the buyer's account after staff mark the FPS payment as received. The receipt email contains no file. Each file is stamped with the order and account identifiers.

Refunds

Before the file is released, a refund is full. After release, refunds are limited to a bad file — corrupt or substantially not as described — or a file that breaches the ban list.

Takedowns and suspension

We may remove a pack and refund buyers if a rights holder complains. Repeat banned uploads close the tutor's notes privilege; serious breaches suspend selling altogether.

No affiliation

MatchMax is not affiliated with the IB, HKEAA, or any school. Nothing in these terms promises a grade, an offer, or that a school will accept the notes.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Hong Kong.
