Exchange rules

Clear conditions for sharing practice packets.

Share what you may share

Only add tournament packets you are allowed to distribute. Respect organizer restrictions and do not submit unreleased exams, personal information, or restricted content. Tournament-issued shared folders are welcome; owning the original Drive folder is not required.

You authorize trading once, and control each test

Nothing of yours is listed until you turn on automatic exchanges in Trading preferences and choose the seasons you accept. From then on every verified test you hold is listed for exchange, including tests you add later, accepting unowned packets from your accepted seasons. You can pause any test, or choose ranked acceptable packets for it, in My tests; a paused test is never listed again for you. Turning automatic exchanges off pauses all of them. Andesite can complete any bilateral exchange meeting both participants’ active conditions without another acceptance message.

Your collection stays yours

Each exchange must bring both participants a packet they do not own. Packets and listings are reusable. Season changes do not remove historical tests or valid wants. Acquired tests are listed automatically only when you opt in.

Review and access

Moderators can inspect submitted links. Unknown, incomplete or inconclusive packets remain under review. Only the owner or an authorized recipient can open a stored link. Once delivered, Drive links cannot be recalled, and folders may reveal their owner’s Google account name.

Pause or report a problem

Pause listings or revoke automatic-trading consent to stop future exchanges. Report incomplete packets, revoked links or other problems from Trades.

Credits, and what they are not

When an administrator approves a test you added, you earn 3 credits. You can spend 2 of them on any test Andesite offers from its own collection, which is marked with Andesite’s name wherever it appears. That is the whole of it: credits are earned only from approved submissions, they cannot be bought, given away or moved between accounts, and they buy nothing except tests Andesite itself holds. An exchange between two members never involves them, and nothing you add is ever offered by Andesite without you being asked.
