Terms of Use

Purpose of This Website

The Barrington Islamic Center (“BIC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) website is intended to provide information and resources relating to BIC, including prayer information, programs, religious and educational activities, community events, Sunday School, volunteer opportunities, charitable giving, announcements, and other community services.

Website content is provided for general informational, educational, religious, and community purposes.

Website Information

We make reasonable efforts to keep information on the BIC website accurate and current. However, programs, schedules, prayer times, event details, locations, speakers, services, fees, and other information may change.

Visitors should review the most current information before attending an event, program, prayer, class, or other BIC activity.

When appropriate, important updates may also be communicated through BIC announcements, email, social media, or other community communication channels.

Prayer Times & Religious Information

Prayer times, calculated prayer schedules, religious resources, and similar information displayed on the website are provided as a community resource.

Calculated prayer times may differ from BIC congregational prayer times, Iqamah times, Jumu’ah schedules, or special prayer arrangements.

Visitors should refer to current BIC announcements for congregational prayer schedules and other time-sensitive information.

Programs, Events & Registrations

Certain BIC programs, classes, events, volunteer activities, Sunday School programs, or community services may require advance registration, payment, eligibility requirements, waivers, parental authorization, or additional terms.

Any additional terms, acknowledgments, policies, or consent forms presented during registration will apply to that specific activity in addition to these general Terms of Use.

BIC may modify, postpone, relocate, limit, or cancel a program or event when reasonably necessary.

Donations & Charitable Giving

The BIC website may provide opportunities to support the organization through donations, fundraising campaigns, program support, or other charitable contributions.

Donations may be processed through independent third-party platforms, including Zeffy and its payment-processing providers. Your use of those services may also be subject to their own terms, privacy policies, and payment-processing requirements.

Donors are responsible for reviewing the designation of a contribution before submitting a transaction.

Contributions designated for a particular campaign, fund, or purpose will be handled in accordance with applicable requirements and BIC's policies concerning designated funds.

Additional information concerning donations, corrections, refunds, and designated funds may be provided in BIC's Donation Policy.

Third-Party Websites & Services

The BIC website may include links to, integrations with, or embedded content from third-party services such as donation platforms, maps, registration systems, videos, social-media services, payment processors, or other external resources.

These services are operated independently from BIC. Your use of a third-party website or service may be governed by that provider's own terms, privacy policies, and practices.

A link to an external website does not necessarily mean that BIC controls, guarantees, or endorses all content, products, services, or practices available through that site.

BIC is not responsible for the operation, availability, security, or content of independent third-party websites or services.
