Terms and Conditions

1. Agreement to These Terms

By accessing or using RicePurityText.com (“the site,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of them, please stop using the site.

These terms apply to every visitor, on every device, whether you take the test or simply read a page.

2. About This Website (About Us)

RicePurityText.com is a free, independent website that hosts the classic 100-question Rice Purity Test along with articles about its history and meaning.

The test is provided for entertainment and light self-reflection. It is not a psychological assessment, a clinical evaluation, a medical or diagnostic tool, a measure of your character, or a scientifically validated instrument of any kind. It has never been one, and no version of it anywhere is.

3. Eligibility and Age Requirements

You must be at least 13 years old to use this website.

The classic 100-question test refers to mature themes including relationships, alcohol, and other adult subject matter. For that reason we recommend the test for users aged 18 and over, and we ask that younger teenagers only take it with parental awareness and guidance.

By using this site you confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement. If you are under 13, please do not use this website.

Parents and guardians: we would genuinely encourage you to take an interest in what your children are doing online, here and everywhere else.

4. The Test and Your Results

Your results are yours alone. The test runs entirely in your browser. Your answers and your score are never transmitted to us, never stored, and never accessible to us or anyone else. Close the tab and they are gone.

We make no guarantees about accuracy. The score is a simple arithmetic result: 100 minus the number of items you ticked. It reflects only what you chose to tick, and it says nothing meaningful about you as a person.

Sharing is entirely your choice. If you post your score, screenshot it, or send it to someone, that is your decision and your responsibility. Think before you share something personal, particularly on public platforms.

5. Acceptable Use

This is a read-only quiz site. There is no posting, uploading, commenting, or account creation. Your interaction is limited to taking the test and reading the pages.

You agree that you will not:

• Attempt to hack, disrupt, overload, or interfere with the site or its servers
• Use bots, scrapers, crawlers, or automated tools to harvest content
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any system, server, or data
• Use the site for any unlawful purpose or in breach of any applicable law
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone
• Introduce viruses, malware, or any other harmful code
• Reproduce the site in a way designed to mislead people into thinking it is ours or is official

We reserve the right to restrict access to anyone who breaches these terms.

6. Intellectual Property

What belongs to us. The design, layout, graphics, original written articles, code, branding, and overall user experience of RicePurityText.com belong to us and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws (see our DMCA Policy).

You may not copy, republish, redistribute, sell, or commercially exploit our original content without prior written permission, and you may not present it as your own work.

What does not belong to us. The 100 questions of the Rice Purity Test are a long-standing piece of shared campus folklore dating back to the 1920s. We claim no ownership over them, and we do not pretend to. The historical facts we report are, likewise, facts.

Fair use. You are welcome to quote a short passage from our articles for commentary, reporting, or education, provided you credit RicePurityText.com and link back to the page.

Our name. The RicePurityText.com name and branding may not be used for commercial purposes, or in any way that suggests endorsement or affiliation, without our prior written consent.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

The site and everything on it are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.

We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error free, that any defects will be corrected, or that the content will meet your expectations. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the site at any time without notice.

Nothing on this site constitutes medical, psychological, legal, or professional advice of any kind. If you are struggling with something the test brought to mind, please speak to a qualified professional or someone you trust.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, RicePurityText.com and its owners, operators, contributors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or connected with:

• Your use of, or inability to use, the site
• Any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions in the content
• Any unauthorised access to our servers or systems
• Any interruption, suspension, or discontinuation of the service
• Any decision you make, or action you take, based on your score or anything you read here
• Anything that happens as a result of you sharing your own results

Your use of this website is entirely at your own risk.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

9. Third-Party Links and Services

The site may contain links to third-party websites, including reference sources, social platforms, and advertisers. These links are provided for convenience and information only, and do not constitute an endorsement.

We do not control third-party sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, privacy practices, or availability. We would encourage you to review their terms and privacy policies before using them.

We use third-party services including Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity, and advertising providers such as Google AdSense. Each is governed by its own terms and privacy policy. See our Privacy Policy for the full picture.

10. Advertising

We may display advertising to cover the cost of running this site. Advertisements are clearly distinguishable from our editorial content.

We do not control the specific ads shown and we do not endorse advertised products or services. Any dealings you have with an advertiser are strictly between you and them.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless RicePurityText.com, its owners and operators, from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses arising out of your misuse of the site, your breach of these terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms and Conditions at any time. When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.

Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the revised terms. We would suggest glancing at this page occasionally so nothing catches you out.

13. Severability

If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will stay in full force and effect.

14. Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States of America, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the applicable courts of the United States.

If you access the site from another country, you are responsible for compliance with your own local laws.
