Terms of Service

The following terms and conditions govern all use of the nabeelazeez.com website and all content, services, and products available at or through the website (“The Website”). The Website is owned and operated by Nabeel Azeez, doing business as Nabeel Azeez Communications (“NAC”). The Website is offered subject to your acceptance without modification of all of the terms and conditions contained herein and all other operating rules, policies (including, without limitation, NAC’s Privacy Policy) and procedures that may be published from time to time on this Site by NAC (collectively, the “Agreement”).

Please read this Agreement carefully before accessing or using the Website. By accessing or using any part of the website, you agree to become bound by the terms and conditions of this agreement. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this agreement, then you may not access the Website or use any services. If these terms and conditions are considered an offer by NAC, acceptance is expressly limited to these terms. The Website is available only to individuals who are at least 13 years old.

Your nabeelazeez.com Account

If you create an account on the Website, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and materials, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under the account and any other actions taken in connection with the account or materials. You must not describe or assign links or content to your account in a misleading or unlawful manner, including in a manner intended to trade on the name or reputation of others. You must immediately notify NAC of any unauthorized uses of your account or any other breaches of security. NAC will not be liable for any acts or omissions by You, including those resulting from your negligence and including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions.

Responsibility of Contributors

If you respond to a blog post, post material to the Website, post links on the Website, or otherwise make (or allow any third party to make) material available by means of the Website (any such material, “Content”), you are entirely responsible for the content of, and any harm resulting from, that Content. That is the case regardless of whether the Content in question constitutes text, graphics, an audio file, or computer software. By making Content available, you represent and warrant that:

  • the downloading, copying and use of the Content will not infringe the proprietary rights, including but not limited to the copyright, patent, trademark or trade secret rights, of any third party;
  • if your employer has rights to intellectual property you create, you have either (i) received permission from your employer to post or make available the Content, including but not limited to any software, or (ii) secured from your employer a waiver as to all rights in or to the Content;
  • you have fully complied with any third-party licenses relating to the Content, and have done all things necessary to successfully pass through to end users any required terms;
  • the Content does not contain or install any viruses, worms, malware, Trojan horses or other harmful or destructive content;
  • the Content is not spam, is not machine- or randomly-generated, and does not contain unethical or unwanted commercial content designed to drive traffic to third party sites or boost the search engine rankings of third party sites, or to further unlawful acts (such as phishing) or mislead recipients as to the source of the material (such as spoofing);
  • the Content is not pornographic, does not contain threats or incite violence towards individuals or entities, and does not violate the privacy or publicity rights of any third party;
  • your Content is not getting advertised via unwanted electronic messages such as spam links on newsgroups, email lists, other blogs and websites, and similar unsolicited promotional methods;
  • your Content is not named in a manner that misleads your readers into thinking that you are another person or company. For example, your Content’s title or author name is not the name of a well-known title other than your work or a person other than yourself or a company other than your own; and
  • you have, in the case of Content that includes computer code, accurately categorized and/or described the type, nature, uses, and effects of the materials, whether requested to do so by NAC or otherwise.

By submitting Content to NAC for inclusion on our Website(s), you grant NAC a world-wide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, modify, adapt and publish the Content solely for the purpose of displaying, distributing and promoting your Content and our Website. If you delete Content, NAC will use reasonable efforts to remove it from the Website, but you acknowledge that caching or references to the Content may not be made immediately unavailable. Without limiting any of those representations or warranties, NAC has the right (though not the obligation) to, in NAC’s sole discretion,

  1. refuse or remove any content that, in NAC’s reasonable opinion, violates any NAC policy or is in any way harmful or objectionable, or
  2. terminate or deny access to and use of the Website to any individual or entity for any reason, in NAC’s sole discretion.

Fees and Payment

By completing the cart and checkout process for any product or number of products, you agree to pay NAC the fees indicated on our Website at the time of purchase in exchange for the product or service. This may be a one-time, monthly or annual fee; unless otherwise explicitly indicated on the Website, the default fee will be one-time. Payments will be processed on the day you purchase a product or service. NAC reserves the right to change the payment terms and fees upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to you.

Refunds

NAC offers a thirty-day (30-day) money back guarantee on purchases made through nabeelazeez.com using our cart and checkout service, which is supplied by third-party vendors. We warrant that we will refund the price that was charged to a Customer (less taxes or shipping and handling charges, if applicable) if and only if said customer requests a refund within 30 days of receipt of payment by:

  1. Making every reasonable effort to supply NAC and Nabeel Azeez with the date-stamped receipt before the 30-day period has ended
  2. Supplying a written request for a refund, with a copy of the receipt supplied, at either http://www.nabeelazeez.com/request-for-refund or nabeel AT nabeelazeez DOT com before the 30-day period has ended

If you take issue with a transaction, it is your responsibility to open a dispute with the Resolution Department of the payment issuer (i.e., PayPal, VISA, MasterCard, American Express or other). Refer to your receipt for details. NAC will not be responsible for disputes with payment providers.

If you would like a refund for a transaction you completed on a website other than nabeelazeez.com, please refer to that site for their refund policy. I cannot and will not provide refunds for transactions initiated and processed on sites other than nabeelazeez.com, such as deal-of-the-day websites, unless I have explicitly stated that I will do so on that website, domain or URL.

All services on NAC include access to email support. “Email support” means the ability to make requests for technical support assistance by email at any time (with reasonable efforts by NAC to respond within two business days) concerning the use of our services. All support will be provided in accordance with NAC standard practices, procedures and policies. To access support, email nabeel AT nabeelazeez DOT com.

Responsibility of Website Visitors

NAC has not reviewed, and cannot review, all of the material, including Content, posted to the Website, and cannot, therefore, be responsible for that material’s content, use or effects. By operating the Website, NAC does not represent or imply that it endorses the material there posted, or that it believes such material to be accurate, useful or non-harmful. You are responsible for taking precautions as necessary to protect yourself and your computer systems from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other harmful or destructive content. The Website may contain content that is offensive, indecent, or otherwise objectionable, as well as content containing technical inaccuracies, typographical mistakes, and other errors. The Website may also contain material that violates the privacy or publicity rights, or infringes the intellectual property and other proprietary rights, of third parties, or the downloading, copying or use of which is subject to additional terms and conditions, stated or unstated. NAC disclaims any responsibility for any harm resulting from the use by visitors of the Website, or from any downloading or use by those visitors of content there posted.

Content Posted on Other Websites

We have not reviewed, and cannot review, all of the material, including computer software, made available through the websites and webpages to which our Websites link, and that link to our Websites. NAC does not have any control over those non-NAC websites and webpages, and is not responsible for their contents or their use. By linking to a non-NAC website or webpage, NAC does not represent or imply that it endorses such website or webpage. You are responsible for taking precautions as necessary to protect yourself and your computer systems from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other harmful or destructive content. NAC disclaims any responsibility for any harm resulting from your use of non-NAC websites and webpages.

Copyright Infringement and DMCA Policy

As NAC asks others to respect its intellectual property rights, it respects the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that material located on or linked to by nabeelazeez.com or our blog violates your copyright, you are encouraged to notify NAC by email at nabeel AT nabeelazeez DOT com. NAC requires that you supply NAC with appropriate information to identify, track and locate the information/property in question in a reasonable period of time and with limited effort or expense. NAC will respond to all such notices, including as required or appropriate by removing the infringing material or disabling all links to the infringing material. In the case of a visitor who may infringe or repeatedly infringes the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of NAC or others, NAC may, in its discretion, terminate or deny access to and use of the Website. In the case of such termination, NAC will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts previously paid to NAC.

Intellectual Property

This Agreement does not transfer from NAC to you any NAC or third party intellectual property, and all right, title and interest in and to such property will remain (as between the parties) solely with NAC. Nabeel Azeez Communications, NAC, nabeelazeez.com, the Nabeel Azeez Communications logos, and all other trademarks, service marks, graphics and logos used in connection with nabeelazeez.com, or the Website are trademarks or registered trademarks of NAC or NAC’s licensors.

Your continued use of or access to the Website following the posting of any changes to this Agreement constitutes acceptance of those changes. NAC may also, in the future, offer new services and/or features through the Website (including, the release of new tools and resources). Such new features and/or services shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. We reserve the right to change any and all NAC services without notice.

Termination

NAC may terminate your access to all or any part of the Website at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective immediately. If you wish to terminate this Agreement or your nabeelazeez.com account (if you have one), you may simply delete your account using the Website to login and visit your profile. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you have a paid account, such account can only be terminated by NAC if you materially breach this Agreement and fail to cure such breach within thirty (30) days from NAC’s notice to you thereof; provided that, NAC can terminate the Website immediately as part of a general shut down of our service. All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Website is provided “as is”. NAC and its suppliers and licensors hereby disclaim all warranties of any kind, express or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Neither NAC nor its suppliers and licensors make any warranty that the Website will be error free or that access thereto will be continuous or uninterrupted. You understand that you download from, or otherwise obtain content or services through, the Website at your own discretion and risk.

Limitation of Liability

In no event will NAC, or its suppliers or licensors, be liable with respect to any subject matter of this agreement under any contract, negligence, strict liability or other legal or equitable theory for: (i) any special, incidental or consequential damages; (ii) the cost of procurement or substitute products or services; (iii) for interruption of use or loss or corruption of data; or (iv) for any amounts that exceed the fees paid by you to NAC under this agreement during the twelve (12) month period prior to the cause of action. NAC shall have no liability for any failure or delay due to matters beyond their reasonable control. The foregoing shall not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

General Representation and Warranty

You represent and warrant that (i) your use of the Website will be in strict accordance with the NAC Privacy Policy, with this Agreement and with all applicable laws and regulations (including without limitation any local laws or regulations in your country, state, city, or other governmental area, regarding online conduct and acceptable content, and including all applicable laws regarding the transmission of technical data exported from the United States or the country in which you reside) and (ii) your use of the Website will not infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property rights of any third party.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless NAC, its contractors, and its licensors, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all claims and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of your use of the Website, including but not limited to your violation of this Agreement.

Miscellaneous

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between NAC and you concerning the subject matter hereof, and they may only be modified by a written amendment signed by an authorized executive of NAC, or by the posting by NAC of a revised version. Except to the extent applicable law, if any, provides otherwise, this Agreement, any access to or use of the Website will be governed by the laws of the state of Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, excluding its conflict of law provisions, and the proper venue for any disputes arising out of or relating to any of the same will be the First Instance Courts located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The arbitration shall take place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in the English language and the arbitral decision may be enforced in any court. The prevailing party in any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement shall be entitled to costs and attorneys’ fees. If any part of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that part will be construed to reflect the parties’ original intent, and the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of this Agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term or condition or any subsequent breach thereof. You may assign your rights under this Agreement to any party that consents to, and agrees to be bound by, its terms and conditions; NAC may assign its rights under this Agreement without condition. This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.
