4.Rules specific to Zmanim
When you use Zmanim, you must not:
- create or run a page for a shul, rabbi or community organization you are not authorized to represent, or suggest that a rabbi or shul endorses Times or content they did not approve;
- publish Times, schedules or announcements you know to be false or misleading;
- add people to a reminder list, or send them messages through Zmanim, without their permission, or keep messaging someone who has unsubscribed;
- use our API or website to copy Times or location data in bulk, exceed or evade rate limits, or build or feed a competing or commercial service, except through an integration we have approved in writing; or
- sell, publish or share member codes outside the shul that issued them.
5.Spam and unsolicited communications
You may not use the Service to send unsolicited bulk messages or messages that violate anti-spam laws, including the CAN-SPAM Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the Florida Telephone Solicitation Act, Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation and the EU ePrivacy rules. In particular, you must:
- have the consent the law requires from every recipient before contacting them, and keep proof of it;
- never use purchased, rented, scraped or harvested contact lists;
- identify yourself as the sender and use accurate header and subject lines;
- include a working opt-out method and honor opt-outs promptly and permanently;
- respect quiet hours and frequency limits that apply where your recipients live; and
- comply with the policies of the email and messaging providers you send through.
6.Sharing files and content
You may not use sharing or publishing features to distribute content you do not have the right to share, including pirated software, films, music or books, to host files for phishing or malware campaigns, or to operate a public file-hosting or content-delivery service. Copyright complaints are handled under our Copyright Policy.
7.Reporting violations
If you see content or behavior on the Service that violates this policy, report it to support@zmanym.com with as much detail as you can, including links, screenshots and dates. We review every report and may contact you for more information. We do not tell the reported user who made a report unless the law requires it.
8.Enforcement
We may investigate suspected violations and, depending on how serious they are, take action including a warning, removing or disabling content, limiting features, suspending or terminating accounts, and reporting illegal activity to law enforcement. We choose the response that is proportionate to the violation.
Except where the law prohibits it, or notice would create a risk of harm or compromise an investigation, we will tell you what action we took and why. If you think we made a mistake, reply to that notice or write to support@zmanym.com and a person will review your appeal. We are not obliged to monitor the Service, and our failure to act on a violation does not waive our right to act later.
9.Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the Service and the risks to it evolve. We will notify you of material changes as described in our Terms of Service and update the "Last updated" date above.
