What to Do If You Lose a Downloaded Quiz or Buy the Same One Twice

The Real Quiz Company states that if you have mislaid a quiz you downloaded previously, or accidentally bought a quiz you already own, you should contact them and they will replace or refund it as appropriate. There is no self-service recovery tool described on the site, so the fix is a support request rather than a download reset. This applies to quizzes bought directly from realquizcompany.co.uk; keep your purchase details handy so they can locate the order.

What the site commits to

The help section addresses exactly these two situations:

• Lost or mislaid download — they will replace it.
• Duplicate purchase of a quiz you already bought — they will refund or replace it, whichever fits the case.

The wording is "as appropriate," so the outcome depends on your situation. A lost file is normally resolved with a fresh download link; a genuine double purchase is normally resolved with a refund. You do not need to argue a case — just describe what happened.

How to make the request

1. Contact The Real Quiz Company through the contact route on their site and state which situation applies.
2. Include enough detail to identify the order — the quiz title, the email address used at checkout, and roughly when you bought it. If you still have the original order confirmation or the download email, forward or quote it.
3. Say what you want — a replacement download link for a lost quiz, or a refund for a duplicate.
4. Wait for their response before buying the quiz again, so you don't create a second duplicate.

Expected result: they replace the file or refund the duplicate, as appropriate to your case.

Why you can usually recover a lost quiz yourself first

Before contacting support, check your own records, because the site sends download links by email:

• Search your inbox for the download email. The site says download links are emailed after purchase so you can access files later or on a different device.
• Check the device you originally used, or any cloud/backup folder where you saved the PDF.
• Remember the format: quizzes are delivered as PDFs containing both questions and answers, so a lost quiz is a lost PDF, not an account-bound item.

If either search turns up the file, you don't need a support request at all.

Avoiding a duplicate purchase

• Check your existing files before buying. Since downloads are PDFs saved on your own devices, your own folder is the record of what you own.
• Search your email for the quiz title before checkout — the purchase confirmation and download email are your proof of ownership.
• Note that there is no account system to check against. The site states you don't need to sign up, sign in or create an account, and there's no commitment — you buy quizzes as and when you need them. That convenience also means the site has no dashboard listing your past purchases for you to review, so your email and saved files are the practical inventory.

Useful things to know while you sort it out

• Free score and answer sheets can be downloaded at any time from the site, so a missing answer sheet is not a reason to rebuy a quiz.
• Downloads are handled through PayLoadz, and after payment you click the "Continue to Download" link; the emailed links are the backup route if you miss that step.
• Payment is by major credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) or PayPal, with PayPal as the processor — you don't need a PayPal account to buy. Your payment record is another way to identify a duplicate order.
