Keep your contributions civil, tasteful and relevant. Please:

 

§  Avoid defamatory comments. A defamatory comment is one that is capable of damaging the reputation of a person or organisation. If successfully sued you could be held liable for considerable damages and costs.

§  Avoid contempt of court which means not posting anything that risks prejudicing on-going or forthcoming court proceedings.

§  Avoid inciting people to commit any crime, including incitement of racial or religious hatred and violence.

§  Avoid breaking a court injunction (for example, naming an individual or speculating as to their current whereabouts after a court has issued an injunction against doing so).

§  Avoid posting content which you've copied from someone else and don't own the copyright.

§  Avoid posting messages that are unlawful, harassing, defamatory, abusive, threatening, harmful, obscene, profane, sexually oriented or racially offensive.

§  Avoid swearing. People of all ages read and contribute to these forums. Please don't use profanities or other words which might offend them or are generally classified as indecent.

§  Avoid spamming or flooding. Don't repost the same message, or very similar messages, more than once.

§  Avoid giving personal information. It is not acceptable to publicise your or anyone else's contact details including address, place of employment, name of educational establishment, telephone or mobile number, email address, etc. This is for your own safety and that of everyone who uses this service.

§  Keep your posts relevant. Posts which aren't relevant lower the value of the debate for everyone and may be removed.

§  Avoid advertising, promotion of products or services, or posting of unnecessary web links (URLs). If you know of a worthy web site relevant to the discussion, please inform the moderators.

§  Avoid impersonating. Impersonating someone (including other members) is unacceptable.

§  Avoid inappropriate usernames (vulgar, offensive, etc).

You should, however, read the local house rules of the particular site or service you're using, as there may be some local variations to these Community Rules.

 

(I)                  ABOUT YOUR POSTS:

 

§   Contributions must be civil and tasteful.

§   Avoid disruptive, offensive or abusive behaviour: contributions must be constructive and polite, not mean-spirited or contributed with the intention of causing trouble.

§   Avoid unlawful or objectionable content: unlawful, harassing, defamatory, abusive, threatening, harmful, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, racially offensive or otherwise objectionable material is not acceptable.

§   Be patient: users of all ages and abilities may be taking part in the relevant Rah-e-Huda community.

§   Avoid spamming or off-topic material: we don't allow the submission of the same or very similar contributions many times. Please don't re-submit your contribution to more than one discussion, or contribute off-topic material in subject-specific areas.

§   Avoid advertising or promoting.

§   Avoid impersonation.

§   Avoid inappropriate (e.g. vulgar, offensive etc) user names.

(II)                YOUR RAH-E-HUDA ACCOUNT:

 

If you use multiple logins for the purpose of disrupting a community or annoying other users you may have action taken against all of your accounts.

 

All accounts must be registered with a valid personal email address that you access regularly so that moderation emails can be sent to you. Accounts registered with someone else's email address, or with temporary email addresses may be closed without notice. We may require users to re-validate their account if we believe they have been using an invalid email address.

 

Rah-e-Huda reserves the right to close accounts if any user is seen to be using proxy IPs (Internet Protocol addresses) in order to attempt to hide the use of multiple Rah-e-Huda accounts, or if a user disrupts any of our services in any way.

 

(III)              SAFETY:

 

We advise that you never reveal any personal information about yourself or anyone else (for example: telephone number, postal address, home address or email address or any other details that would allow you to be personally identified) in any Rah-e-Huda community.

 

(IV)              LEGAL REQUIREMENTS:

 

§   You may not submit or share any defamatory or illegal material of any nature in Rah-e-Huda communities. This includes text, graphics, video, programs or audio.

 

§   Contributing material to a Rah-e-Huda community with the intention of committing or promoting an illegal act is strictly prohibited.

 

§   You agree to submit to or share with Rah-e-Huda communities only contributions which are your own original work. You must not violate, plagiarise, or infringe the rights of the Rah-e-Huda or third parties including copyright, trade mark, trade secrets, privacy, publicity, personal or proprietary rights.

 

(V) IF YOU'RE UNDER 16:

 

§   Please get a parent's or guardian's permission before taking part in any Rah-e-Huda community.

 

§   Never reveal any personal information about yourself or anyone else (for example, school, telephone number, your full name, home address or email address).

 

(VI) IF YOU BREACH THESE COMMUNITY RULES:

 

If you fail to abide by these Community Rules (and/or any variations in relevant local house rules) when taking part in a Rah-e-Huda community, you will be sent an email which informs you why your contribution has been refused or edited. This email will also include a warning that continuing to break the rules may result in action being taken against your account or accounts.

 

This action may include any content posted by you being checked before allowed to go on the site or a temporary or permanent suspension of your ability to participate in any or all of Rah-e-Huda community areas.

If you submit or share offensive or inappropriate content to or with any Rah-e-Huda communities or anywhere else on Rah-e-Huda or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on Rah-e-Huda, and Rah--Huda considers such behaviour to be serious and/or repeated, Rah-e-Huda may use whatever information that is available to it about you to stop any further such infringements. This may include informing relevant third parties such as your employer, school or email provider about the infringement(s).

 

Rah--Huda reserves the right to delete any contribution, or take action against any Rah-e-Huda account, at any time, for any reason.

 

15. The majority of content posted in Rah-e-Huda communities is created by members of the public. The views expressed are theirs and unless specifically stated are not those of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. Neither the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community nor Rah-e-Huda or MTA INTERNATIONAL are responsible for any content posted by members of the public on Rah-e-Huda or for the availability or content of any third party sites that are accessible through Rah-e-Huda. Any links to third party websites from Rah-e-Huda do not amount to any endorsement of that site by Rah-e-Huda and any use of that site by you is at your own risk.

 

16. Rah-e-Huda content, including the information, names, images, pictures, logos and icons regarding or relating to Rah-e-Huda, its products and services (or to third party products and services), is provided "AS IS" and on an "AS AVAILABLE" basis. To the extent permitted by law, Rah-e-Huda excludes all representations and warranties (whether express or implied by law), including the implied warranties of satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, compatibility, security and accuracy. Rah-e-Huda does not guarantee the timeliness, completeness or performance of the website or any of the content. While we try to ensure that all content provided by Rah-e-Huda is correct at the time of publication no responsibility is accepted by or on behalf of Rah-e-Huda for any errors, omissions or inaccurate content on the website.

 

17. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes Rah-e-Huda's liability for death or personal injury caused by its proven negligence. Subject to the previous sentence, Rah-e-Huda shall not be liable for any of the following losses or damage (whether such damage or losses were foreseen, foreseeable, known or otherwise): (a) loss of data; (b) loss of revenue or anticipated profits; (c) loss of business; (d) loss of opportunity; (e) loss of goodwill or injury to reputation; (f) losses suffered by third parties; or (g) any indirect, consequential, special or exemplary damages arising from the use Rah-e-Huda regardless of the form of action.

 

18. Rah-e-Huda do not warrant that functions available on Rah-e-Huda will be uninterrupted or error free, that defects will be corrected, or that Rah-e-Huda or the server that makes it available are free of viruses or bugs. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to implement sufficient procedures and virus checks (including anti-virus and other security checks) to satisfy your particular requirements for the accuracy of data input and output.

 

19. If any of these terms are determined to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable by reason of the laws of any state or country in which these terms are intended to be effective, then to the extent and within the jurisdiction in which that term is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, it shall be severed and deleted from these terms and the remaining terms shall survive and continue to be binding and enforceable.

 

20. The failure or delay of Rah-e-Huda to exercise or enforce any right in these terms does not waive Rah-e-Huda's right to enforce that right.

 

21. These terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales which shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes.
