5. Profiles and User Information

pathsNetwork allows users to create profiles and share selected information with others through the Service.

Some information may be visible broadly within the app, some may be visible only after users connect, and some may remain private by default. You are responsible for the information you choose to add to your profile or otherwise share through the Service.

You must not:

• upload false or misleading profile information;

• use another person’s photo or identity without permission;

• post private or confidential information about another person without lawful basis or permission.

6. Connection-Based Features

Some features of the Service are only available once users connect with each other.

This may include, for example:

• direct messaging;

• access to certain profile details;

• access to profile photos or other connection-only content.

You must not attempt to bypass connection-based access controls or use technical or social manipulation to obtain access to content that is restricted by design.

7. Messaging and Communications

If messaging is available between you and another user, you are solely responsible for what you send.

You must not use messages or any other communication tools on the Service to:

• harass, threaten, intimidate, or abuse others;

• share obscene, sexually explicit, hateful, violent, or unlawful material;

• groom, exploit, or manipulate other users;

• collect sensitive personal information from others for improper purposes;

• send malware, malicious links, or deceptive content.

We may monitor, review, restrict, remove, or report communications where reasonably necessary to enforce these Terms, investigate misuse, comply with law, or protect users and the Service.

8. User Content

The Service may allow you to create, upload, post, submit, store, or share content, including profile information, posts, comments, replies, messages, images, trade listings, business content, masjid content, marriage profile information, and other materials (“User Content”).

You remain the owner of your User Content, but by submitting it to the Service, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt, display, distribute, moderate, and otherwise use that content as necessary to operate, improve, secure, promote, and provide the Service.

This licence ends within a commercially reasonable period after your content is deleted from the Service, except where:

the content has already been shared with others;

• retention is reasonably necessary for backups, legal compliance, fraud prevention, moderation, dispute resolution, or enforcement;

The Service may include masjid pages, community features, prayer-related tools, business pages, service listings, trade listings, and similar features.

You are solely responsible for any content you submit through those features. You must ensure that such content is lawful, accurate, respectful, and appropriate for the feature in which it is posted.

We do not guarantee the quality, safety, legality, truthfulness, or availability of any user-submitted listing, service, business information, community post, or trade item.

Any transactions, arrangements, meetings, services, or dealings between users or third parties are solely between those parties unless we explicitly state otherwise.
