3. Registration and Your Account

3.1 Accuracy

Everything you provide during registration, including your name, email address, phone number, relationship to the Profile Subject, and identity document, must be accurate and truthful. Any material misrepresentation is a serious breach of these Terms and will result in immediate account termination. Where fraudulent documents have been submitted, we will report the matter to the Federal Investigation Agency and other relevant law enforcement authorities in Pakistan and elsewhere as appropriate.

You must log out of your account after each session, particularly when using shared or public devices.

3.3 One Account Per Family

Each family may hold only one account on ShadiSunnah. Creating additional accounts to circumvent profile limits, to avoid a ban or suspension, or for any other reason is strictly prohibited and will result in the permanent termination of all accounts associated with that family.

3.4 Identity Verification

Every account must pass identity verification before any profile becomes publicly visible to other families. We manually review every submitted identity document. We reserve the right to reject documents that appear fraudulent, expired, altered, or unclear. Rejection of a document on these grounds does not entitle you to a refund.

The Free package permits one profile. The Standard package permits up to three profiles. The Premium package permits up to five profiles.


5. Packages and Payment

5.1 How Packages Work

ShadiSunnah's packages are one time purchases, not subscriptions. When you pay, you are purchasing access to the Platform's features for a defined period, typically 30 days for Standard and Premium. Nothing is automatically renewed or charged to your card without your initiation. When your package expires, you choose whether to renew.

Prices are shown in your local currency based on your location at the time of registration. Pakistani users are shown prices in Pakistani Rupees. UK users are shown prices in Pounds Sterling.

5.4 Refunds

Our refund policy is set out in our separate Refund Policy, which forms part of these Terms. In summary, refunds may be considered within 7 days of payment where you have not actively used the Platform. Refunds will not be issued after 7 days or where the Platform has been actively used during the paid period. Refunds will not be issued to accounts suspended or terminated for breaching these Terms.

We reserve the right to investigate any suspected breach of these Terms. We may, without prior notice and at our sole discretion, remove any content we consider to be in violation of these Terms. We may temporarily or permanently suspend or terminate any account. We may report any criminal activity to the Federal Investigation Agency Cybercrime Wing, the local police, or any other relevant authority. We may take legal action in any applicable jurisdiction for any loss or damage caused to ShadiSunnah or to other families on the Platform.


7. Connection Requests

Sending a connection request is a formal expression of matrimonial interest. By using this feature, you acknowledge that the receiving family is under no obligation to accept your request. You must not send repeated or harassing requests to the same family. Acceptance of a connection request does not constitute any form of binding agreement between the families concerned. Any communication following an accepted connection must remain respectful, decent, and in keeping with the spirit of the Platform and Islamic values.


8. Our Role and Our Limitations

ShadiSunnah provides a platform that facilitates introductions between Muslim families who are genuinely seeking marriage. We are not a matchmaking agency, a marriage broker, or a legal intermediary between families.

We do not guarantee any specific number of matches, connection requests, or successful introductions. We do not verify any information beyond the identity document submitted at registration. We are not responsible for the conduct, character, honesty, or personal circumstances of any family on the Platform beyond what is documented in our verification process. We are not responsible for anything that happens between families after they have connected through the Platform.

We strongly recommend that all families conduct thorough and independent research and due diligence before making any matrimonial decision. Always meet with appropriate family members present, in a public setting, particularly for initial meetings.


9. Intellectual Property

9.1 Our Intellectual Property

The ShadiSunnah name, logo, platform design, compatibility algorithm, source code, and all content created by us are our exclusive intellectual property. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from any part of our Platform without our express written permission.

9.2 Your Content

You own the content you upload to the Platform. By uploading it, you grant us a limited, non exclusive, royalty free licence to display and process it solely for the purpose of operating the Platform and providing the service to you. We will never sell, license, or commercially exploit your content or photographs.


10. Termination

10.1 By You

You may close your account at any time by contacting support@shadisunnah.com or through your account settings. Your data will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Closing your account does not entitle you to a refund except in accordance with our Refund Policy.

10.2 By Us

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time where we have reasonable grounds to believe you have breached these Terms, submitted fraudulent or invalid documents, behaved abusively towards other families or our staff, or where we are required to do so by applicable law or court order. Termination for cause does not entitle you to any refund.


11. Limitation of Liability

ShadiSunnah is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your interactions with other families on or off the Platform. We do not guarantee the accuracy of information provided by other families, as we verify identity only and not the full content of profiles. Our total financial liability to you shall not exceed the total amount you have paid to us in the 12 months preceding any claim.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our own negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by us.


12. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Pakistan. Any dispute arising from or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Platform that cannot be resolved through our complaints process shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Pakistan.

For users based in the United Kingdom, the UAE, or Saudi Arabia, nothing in this clause prevents you from asserting rights available to you under the consumer protection laws of your country of residence.


13. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed removed from these Terms to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.


14. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Refund Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, Safety Guidelines, and Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and ShadiSunnah in relation to your use of the Platform and supersede all previous agreements, representations, and understandings between us on the same subject matter.


15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time as the platform evolves, as applicable law changes, or as our policies develop. We will give you at least 14 days notice of any material changes by email before those changes take effect. A notice will also be displayed prominently on the Platform. Continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any change constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
