These Terms of Use explain the basic rules for accessing Maqalat, reading or sharing its content and using its account, contact and reader features.
By accessing the website, you agree to use it lawfully, responsibly and in a way that respects the rights of authors, readers and the platform.
1. Acceptance of these terms
By using Maqalat you agree to these terms and to any policies referenced here. If you do not agree, you should stop using the website and its services.
2. Editorial content
Articles are provided for general information, analysis and editorial purposes. They should not automatically be treated as professional legal, financial, medical or other specialist advice unless the article clearly states otherwise.
3. Accounts and access
If you receive an account, you are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for activity carried out through that account. Access may be limited, suspended or removed when necessary to protect the platform or enforce editorial permissions.
4. Acceptable use
You may not misuse the website, attempt unauthorised access, interfere with normal operation, upload malicious material, automate abusive requests, impersonate others or use Maqalat in a way that violates applicable law.
5. Intellectual property
Unless stated otherwise, the website design, branding, original articles and platform materials are protected by applicable intellectual-property rights. Short quotations and links may be used where lawful and properly attributed; substantial copying, republication or commercial reuse may require permission.
6. Messages and submissions
If you contact Maqalat or submit material for editorial consideration, you confirm that you are entitled to share it. Sending a message or proposal does not guarantee publication, partnership or a response within a specific timeframe.
7. Third-party links
Articles may link to external websites for context or reference. Maqalat does not control those sites and is not responsible for their availability, security, accuracy or privacy practices.
8. Availability and changes
We may change, suspend or discontinue features, content or access where reasonably necessary. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability or that every historical article will remain published indefinitely.
9. Disclaimer and limitation
Maqalat is provided on an “as available” basis. To the extent permitted by law, we do not guarantee that all content will be error-free or suitable for every purpose, and we are not responsible for indirect loss resulting solely from reliance on general editorial content.
10. Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated as the platform evolves. Continued use after an updated version is published means the new terms apply from that point forward.
11. Contact
Questions about these terms can be sent through the Contact page.
