Terms and Conditions

What Mashhad is

Mashhad is an information guide to films, series, plays, programs and the people who make them. We present information for reference and to introduce the works. We do not show the works themselves or provide a way to watch them.

Accuracy of information

We gather information from sources we cite on each work's page, and verify it before publishing. Even so, errors may occur and details such as where a work is showing may change. We present the information as is, and we welcome corrections through Suggest an edit.

Parents' guide and age rating

We show official ratings as published by the named authority. A “Mashhad estimate” is an editorial opinion based on published summaries and is not an official rating. The decision to watch remains with parents, and we advise them to review the work themselves when in doubt.

Watch links and other sites

“Watch on” links take you to platforms we don't own or operate, which may require a subscription, and availability may vary by country. We are not responsible for the content, services or prices of those sites.

Promoted content

We may display promoted works in the “Trending Now” section, and they always carry the word “Promoted”. Promotion doesn't affect the information shown about any work, the parents' guide, or “Mashhad Picks”.

Intellectual property

• The texts we write, such as story summaries, biographies and articles, and the site's design and logo, belong to Mashhad. You may quote a short part with credit and a link to the source.
• Posters and stills belong to their owners, and we display them only to identify the works, with their source credited.
• If you believe content on Mashhad infringes your rights, Contact us and we will review it and remove it if this is established.

Acceptable use

Please don't use Mashhad in a way that harms the site or others, such as trying to disrupt it, or automatically copying its content in large quantities to republish it.

Your account

• Creating an account is optional and requires a valid email that you own. Accounts are for people aged 13 or over.
• You are responsible for protecting your password and for logins from your device. If you suspect someone has accessed your account, change your password immediately and contact us.
• One account per person. Automated or fake accounts are not allowed.
• We may suspend an account used to harm the site or others, or to manipulate ratings.
• You can permanently delete your account at any time from the page My account.

Content rules

These apply to reviews, comments, replies, Majlis topics, private messages, names and images:

• Discuss works and ideas, not people. No abuse, racism, hate, threats or sexual innuendo.
• No encouragement of self-harm, no ads or promotional links, and no private information about anyone.
• What you publish is your own opinion. By publishing it you confirm you have the right to publish it, and you allow Mashhad to display it on the site's pages.
• You can report any violating content with the “Report” button.

Reviews

Your review appears under your display name with your rating of the work. Mark it if it contains spoilers, so it's hidden from people who haven't watched the work.

The Majlis

Topics and replies are published directly under their authors' names, without prior review. The site automatically checks topic text to alert the moderation team, the team is notified of every edit you make to your topic, and copies of edits are kept in the topic's log.

Private messages

Messaging is between friends only. You can block the other person from messaging you and sending you friend requests. The moderation team reviews only the reported message, and it can't be edited or deleted after being reported.

Moderation

• The Mashhad team may edit, hide or delete violating content, reset a violating name or image, or suspend an account that repeats violations. You'll receive a notification of any action on your account.
• A suspended account can still browse and save its lists, but can't write public content or send messages until the suspension is lifted. For serious or repeated violations, the account may be banned from logging in or deleted along with its data. To appeal, contact us from the contact page.

Your public page and friends

• Every account has a username and a public page, and members appear in search with their name, username and picture. If you don't choose a name, we generate one for you automatically. Choose a decent name that doesn't impersonate anyone; we may change a violating name.
• The lists you create are your responsibility: if you set one to anyone with the link, anyone who gets the link can reach it, and we may hide a violating list.
• Likes and endorsements are for appreciation only. Don't use them to harass anyone, and don't create extra accounts to raise your numbers.

Language and translation

These terms and the privacy policy were written in Arabic, which is the governing version in case of any difference with a translation. The English translation of the site's information and the automatic translation of members' writing may contain errors, and the original is the reference.

Changes

We may update these terms, especially when adding new services. The last updated date is at the top of the page, and continuing to use the site after it means you accept the updated terms.
