Content Offerings

Essential Islam offers courses and content ("Content Offerings") from internal and external providers ("Content Providers").

Essential Islam reserves the right to cancel, interrupt, reschedule, modify any Content Offerings, or change the point value or weight of any assignment, quiz, or other assessment. Content Offerings are subject to the Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability sections below.

Your Content

The Services enable you to share your content, such as homework, quizzes, exams, projects, other assignments you submit, posts you make in the forums, and the like ("User Content"), with Essential Islam, instructors, and/or other users. You retain all intellectual property rights in, and are responsible for, the User Content you share. User Content does not include course content or other materials made available on or placed on Essential Islam platforms by or on behalf of Essential Islam’s Content Providers or their instructors using the Services, the Content Offerings; as between Essential Islam and its Content Providers, such Content Offerings are governed by the relevant agreements in place between Essential Islam and its Content Providers.

Nothing in these Terms shall restrict other legal rights Essential Islam may have to User Content, for example under other licenses. We reserve the right to remove or modify User Content for any reason, including User Content that we believe violates these Terms.

We welcome your suggestions, ideas, comments, and other feedback regarding the Services ("Feedback").
