Faith Essentials Terms

AlMaghrib Institute  ·  Version 2.0  ·  June 2026

Terms and Conditions

faithessentials.online  ·  go.faithessentials.online  ·  portal.almaghrib.org/fe/

These Terms and Conditions govern your subscription to and use of Faith Essentials, including the website at faithessentials.online, the student portal at portal.almaghrib.org/fe/, the Faith Essentials app, and any associated landing pages and services. By signing up you agree to be bound by these Terms.

 

  1. Parties and Definitions

“Faith Essentials,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to AlMaghrib Institute, 2323 Clear Lake City Blvd, Suite 180-290, Houston, TX 77062, United States, operator of Faith Essentials.

“Member,” “you,” or “your” refers to the individual who has created an account. The “Account Owner” is the member whose payment method is charged and who is solely responsible for all account activity.

“Content” refers to all video courses, lectures, PDFs, course notes, live sessions, and any other material made available through Faith Essentials.

 

  1. Subscription Plans

Faith Essentials is a subscription-based service offering access to 40+ on-demand Islamic courses, course notes, and instructor-led sessions. Two plan types are available:

Annual plan: billed as a single yearly payment. Provides full access to all Faith Essentials content for 12 months. The annual plan includes a 30-day money-back guarantee as described in Section 6.

Monthly plan: billed in monthly instalments. Provides full access to all Faith Essentials content and continues until cancelled. The monthly plan is structured as a series of monthly payments, not a fixed-term contract. It can be cancelled at any time before the next billing date.

Auto-renewal:  Both plans renew automatically unless you cancel before the renewal date. By subscribing you authorize AlMaghrib to charge your payment method on a recurring basis at the applicable plan rate. You will receive advance notice of any price changes before they take effect.

 

  1. Account Registration and Access

To use Faith Essentials you must create an account with a valid email address and password. Your account is for your personal use only and may not be shared, sold, or used by any other person. Any indication of account sharing will result in immediate cancellation without refund.

If you have previously unsubscribed from all AlMaghrib communications, you may not receive your login details automatically. It is your responsibility to contact faith.essentials@almaghrib.org to ensure you have access after subscribing. Refunds will not be issued where login details were not received but no attempt was made to contact support before requesting a refund.

 

  1. Billing and Payment

Billing cycle: annual members are charged once per year on the anniversary of sign-up. Monthly members are charged on the same calendar day each month. In some cases payment dates may shift due to billing cycle differences or payment processing.

Payment method: all payments are processed online by credit card or VISA debit. To update your payment method, contact faith.essentials@almaghrib.org. If a scheduled payment fails, AlMaghrib may suspend your access to the service until a valid payment method is provided. You remain responsible for any amounts outstanding at the time of suspension.

Pricing: current subscription prices are displayed at the time of sign-up. AlMaghrib reserves the right to change pricing at any time, with notice provided to active members by email at least 14 days before a price change applies at renewal.

 

  1. Cancellation

You may cancel your Faith Essentials subscription at any time by emailing faith.essentials@almaghrib.org. Following cancellation, your access to Faith Essentials content continues until the end of your current billing period, after which your account will close. Cancellation stops future billing — it does not delete your account or personal data.

To request deletion of your account and personal data, see Section 14.

 

  1. Refund Policy
Payments made to Faith Essentials are non-refundable except as set out below. No refunds or credits are issued for partial subscription periods, unviewed content, or unused access.

Annual plan  30-day money-back guarantee: if you subscribed to the annual plan and are not satisfied, you may request a full refund within 30 days of your initial payment by emailing faith.essentials@almaghrib.org. This guarantee applies to first-time annual subscribers only.

Monthly plan: payments under the monthly plan are non-refundable. You may cancel at any time to stop future billing, but no refund will be issued for the current or any prior monthly payment.

United Kingdom statutory right of withdrawal: if you are a UK consumer, you have a statutory right to withdraw from a subscription contract within 14 days of sign-up under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. This right is waived once you begin accessing the content. By accessing any Faith Essentials course you expressly request that the service begins immediately and acknowledge that your right of withdrawal is lost from that point.

Approved refunds will be processed to your original payment method within 14 working days.

 

  1. Content Licence and Restrictions

AlMaghrib grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and view Faith Essentials Content for your own personal educational use. You must not:

  1. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, AlMaghrib’s total liability in connection with Faith Essentials is limited to the subscription fees paid in the three months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. AlMaghrib is not liable for indirect, consequential, or special losses. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any liability that cannot be excluded by applicable law. Your statutory rights are not affected.

 

  1. Consumer Rights

GDPR Compliance

The EU’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) take effect May 25th, and we are fully behind the spirit of these regulations for a safe and secure Internet. We aspire to embrace privacy by design and, whenever possible, to not collect and store personally-identifiable information.

Our Privacy Policy contains mentions of the few instances where personally-identifiable information is required. Typically this will include an email address in order to log in to AlMaghrib Institute or a social network username in order to manage your account.

Overall, we aim for privacy by default: if data collection is not integral to the way our product works, then we won’t collect it. This approach has felt very much in line with the spirit of GDPR, and we’re fortunate that a lot of these data collection practices have been in place at AlMaghrib Institute for some time. As such, you may see few banners or forms requesting consent for us to collect personally-identifiable information for tracking or other purposes. We don’t deem this information necessary to provide AlMaghrib Institute’s service to you, and we choose not to engage in activities and strategies that make this data relevant.

At any time, you may request your information to be exported and sent to you for review, and we promptly honor any requests by you to have your information deleted and forgotten.

Here is our progress so far on GDPR compliance ahead of the May 25th, 2018, deadline:

Data Mapping

We are auditing all areas of AlMaghrib Institute to determine what personal data we collect and for what purpose. In a case where collecting personal data is not essential, we are removing that collection process.

Privacy Policy

We updated our privacy policy to include appropriate terms and language so it’s easy to understand, and that it communicates clearly any instances of personal data collection.

Cookies

We will add a cookie notice to all marketing pages and blogs in order to comply with the E-Privacy Directive. We do not collect personally-identifiable information with our cookies, but we do want to acknowledge the use of cookie technology on our website.

Deletion

A user has the right to request that we delete all of their personal data. Users who wish to inquire about the right to be forgotten will be able to reach out to us at any time.

Access / Portability

A user can request access to a copy of the personal data that we have collected. Users who wish to request portability can reach out to us at any time.

Modification

In AlMaghrib Institute, if a user asks to change their information, we can do so within our admin portal. If a user has a modification to make, they can reach out to us at info@almaghrib.org.

Sub-processors

We commit to displaying a list of all current sub-processors in use by AlMaghrib Institute. A sub-processor includes any third party that we share personally identifiable information with.

Here is that list:

  • Infusionsoft
  • Google Apps
  • Zapier
  • Quickbooks
  • Kindful
  • Stripe
  • Kajabi
  • Eventbrite
  • Phonevite
  • Mgive
  • Getresponse
  • Clickfunnels
  • Digitalocean
  • OptinMonster
  • SurveyMonkey
  • Siteground
  • Freshdesk
  • Moneris

A: We primarily collect data when a user sign-up for AlMaghrib Institute services. Where data tracking is enabled we make sure that we do not collect any personally identifiable information.

  1. Who We Are

AlMaghrib Institute, 2323 Clear Lake City Blvd, Suite 180-290, Houston, TX 77062, United States is the data controller for personal information collected through Faith Essentials. For users in the United Kingdom, AlMaghrib Foundation (registered charity number 1157315, England and Wales) is the UK data controller. Contact: info@almaghrib.org.

 

  1. What We Collect

When you create an account or subscribe we collect your full name, email address, and password (stored encrypted). We collect payment information through our payment processor — we do not store full card details. During your use of the platform we collect subscription status, course access records, content progress, login activity, and any content you post in community features. We collect technical data including IP address, device type, browser, and operating system.

Lead generation: if you submit your email address through a Faith Essentials landing page or quiz (including go.faithessentials.online) before subscribing, we collect and store that email address in our marketing platform for follow-up communications. You may opt out at any time.

Abandoned cart: if you begin a checkout but do not complete it, we may collect and store your email address to follow up about your incomplete purchase.

 

  1. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to create and manage your account; to process subscription payments and send receipts; to deliver course access and track content progress; to send account and billing communications that are essential to your membership; to send marketing communications about Faith Essentials and other AlMaghrib products where you have consented or where legitimate interests apply — you may opt out at any time by contacting info@almaghrib.org; to improve the platform through anonymous aggregated analysis; and to comply with our legal obligations.

 

  1. Who We Share Your Information With

Your account and subscription information is accessible to Faith Essentials support staff. Payment information is processed by Stripe. We use ActiveCampaign for email marketing and communications. We use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Meta Pixel for website analytics and advertising attribution. We may share your information with Wahed and other third-party partners whose content appears on the Faith Essentials platform, only as necessary to deliver that content. We do not sell your personal information.

 

  1. Analytics and Advertising

Faith Essentials uses Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, and Meta Pixel on its landing pages and website to measure traffic, track conversions, and attribute advertising spend. These tools may collect anonymised usage data including page visits, scroll behaviour, and ad interactions. Where required by law, consent is obtained before these tools are activated. You can manage your preferences through your browser settings or the cookie consent tool.

 

  1. Data Retention

Financial and payment records are retained for five years from the transaction date, or as required by applicable tax and accounting law. Your profile, account information, and subscription records are retained for as long as your account is active, or indefinitely as part of our member records, unless you submit a written deletion request to info@almaghrib.org. If you opt out of marketing communications, your contact details will be retained as an unsubscribed record on AlMaghrib’s marketing platforms to prevent inadvertent re-contact — no further marketing communications will be sent. Opting out does not automatically delete your personal data. If you request full deletion of your personal data, we will remove it to the extent permitted by applicable law, retaining only what is legally required. If you subsequently opt back in to marketing communications, your contact details may be reactivated.

 

  1. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information and to object to marketing. Contact info@almaghrib.org and we will respond within 30 days.
