Users are expected to interact respectfully with the community and with religious content available through the platform.

Users must not deliberately use WALIDA to harass members because of their religious beliefs or to intentionally disrupt community spaces.

Users retain the rights they legally hold in content they create.

By publishing content on WALIDA, users grant WALIDA a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, display and technically process that content to the extent necessary to operate, provide, secure and improve the platform.

This licence exists only to enable WALIDA to provide its services and does not transfer ownership of the user’s content to WALIDA.

Where technically and legally applicable, this licence ends when the content is deleted, except where continued retention is necessary for security, legal compliance, backups, dispute resolution or other legitimate purposes.

WALIDA does not necessarily review or approve user content before it is published.

The presence of user-generated content on WALIDA does not mean that WALIDA endorses that content.

11. REPORTING CONTENT OR USERS

Users may report content or behavior that they believe violates these Terms or applicable law.
