Terms and conditions
These terms are intentionally short and written in plain language — please read them before submitting a comment or using this site.
Who these terms are between
"MakkahMadinahGuide," "we," "us," or "our" refers to MakkahMadinahGuide.com, an informally-run community project (not a registered company or foundation) based in New Jersey, United States. By using this site or submitting content to it, you agree to these terms.
What this site is
MakkahMadinahGuide.com is a community-contributed guide for visitors to Makkah and Madinah. Content is submitted by visitors, reviewed before publication, and shared to help other visitors. It is not an official government, religious, or travel-authority resource, and should not be treated as one.
Submitting content
- You may submit a name (or post anonymously), a country, and a short comment about your experience, subject to the length limit shown on the submission form.
- Submissions are reviewed before they appear publicly, and approved posts go live a short time after approval.
- We may edit, reject, or remove any submission at our discretion, including after publication, without notice.
- You may not submit content that is false, defamatory, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit, or that infringes someone else's rights.
- To keep the site useful and prevent spam, we limit how many comments a single visitor can submit within a given time window.
Your content, our license to use it
You retain any rights you have in what you submit. By submitting content, you give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to publish, display, and distribute it on this site (and to archive or remove it) for as long as we operate the site.
No warranty
Content on this site reflects individual visitors' personal experiences and opinions. We do not verify the accuracy, completeness, or current validity of submitted information — details like opening hours, prices, routes, or procedures can change after a post is published. Use your own judgment, and check important details (visa rules, mosque access, timings) against an official source before relying on them.
Third-party links and advertising
This site may display sponsored content or links to third-party websites. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices. A sponsored placement is not an endorsement.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, MakkahMadinahGuide and its volunteers are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of this site or reliance on content submitted by other visitors.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
