SECTION 3 – RELIGIOUS CONTENT, NEUTRALITY, AND CULTURAL RESPECT www.muslimweightmanagement.global is designed to support culturally relevant wellness services for individuals who voluntarily identify with or wish to explore Islamic approaches to health, wellbeing, and lifestyle. While Islamic ethical content is included, the Platform: does not issue religious rulings or fatwas; does not affiliate with any particular school of Islamic jurisprudence; does not require Islamic belief or observance to access the Platform; does not imply superiority of religious or spiritual belief systems. All users—regardless of belief, denomination, or non-belief—are equally welcome. The presence of religious references is not to be interpreted as exclusionary, obligatory, proselytising, or coercive. The inclusion of Islamic terminology or values is opt-in and contextually framed as educational and non-binding. We acknowledge the importance of interfaith respect and philosophical pluralism and reject all forms of religious bias, supremacy, or doctrinal exclusion. Users who feel that religious content is inappropriately presented may contact the compliance team for internal review.
SECTION 4 – ACCESSIBILITY COMMITMENT AND UNIVERSAL DESIGN We affirm the rights of all individuals, regardless of ability, to fully and equitably access our digital services. The Platform is built in line with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. This compliance is implemented through: semantic HTML for screen reader compatibility; sufficient colour contrast and resizable text; captions and transcripts for video/audio content; alt-text and ARIA attributes for navigational support; keyboard-only navigation and skip-to-content functions; adjustable accessibility features in user settings. Legal Frameworks: We adhere to obligations under: UK Equality Act 2010, Part 2; The Americans with Disabilities Act (Title III); The EU Web Accessibility Directive (Directive (EU) 2016/2102); The UN CRPD Article 9; Canada’s Accessible Canada Act; India’s Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act 2016.

SECTION 5 – MEDICAL DISCLAIMER AND HEALTHCARE NON-REGULATION CLAUSE This Platform is an educational wellness resource only. It does not constitute medical, nutritional, diagnostic, or psychological advice. No part of this website is intended to create, or should be construed as establishing, a doctor–patient, therapist–client, fiduciary, or regulated healthcare relationship. We are not regulated by any of the following health authorities: The Care Quality Commission (CQC), UK; The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA); Health Canada; The European Medicines Agency (EMA); The Therapeutic Goods Administration (Australia); Any Ministry of Health or medical licensing board in any jurisdiction.

The Platform does not use AI or algorithmic tools to conduct individualised assessments. No diagnosis, prescription, or behavioural recommendation is issued. Content is educational only and not tailored to specific user profiles. No “therapeutic effect” is implied or claimed.
SECTION 6 – TESTIMONIALS, NO GUARANTEE OF OUTCOMES, AND ADVERTISING LAW COMPLIANCE The Platform includes personal stories, client experiences, user reviews, and case examples submitted voluntarily by individuals. These testimonials are presented for educational and illustrative purposes only. They do not constitute evidence of typical outcomes, do not guarantee results, and should not be relied upon as predictive of your own experience. Regulatory Advertising Compliance: All testimonials and claims comply with: The UK Advertising Standards Authority’s CAP Code, Sections 12 (Health), 13 (Weight Control), and 3 (Misleading Claims); EU Unfair Commercial Practices Directive 2005/29/EC; U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Endorsement Guides, 16 CFR Part 255; Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) Advertising Guidelines; Canada’s Competition Act, Section 74.01.

We do not use affiliate reviews or paid testimonials. Where material connections exist, they are clearly disclosed in accordance with local law.

Nothing in this clause shall exclude or limit our liability for: death or personal injury caused by our negligence; fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; breach of statutory consumer rights which cannot be waived under local law (e.g., CRA 2015, CCPA, GDPR Article 82). In jurisdictions where liability disclaimers are restricted (e.g., Germany, Quebec), this clause shall be construed in accordance with local consumer law. Users agree that the Platform is accessed “as is” and “as available”, with no warranty of uninterrupted uptime, error-free content, or guaranteed compatibility with all devices.

For users based in the United Kingdom: jurisdiction shall be exclusively vested in the courts of England and Wales. For users in the European Union: mandatory EU consumer rights under Regulation (EU) 1215/2012 (Brussels I recast) and the Rome I Regulation (593/2008) apply.
