Islamicly’s Subscription Service includes access to pre-defined screens based on the criteria given by Shariah scholars. All the screens are based on set quantitative and qualitative criteria, which are an interpretation of what the Shariah screening rules are. You should consider the results of any screen as candidates for further research, not as a buy list or as a set of recommendations.

(9) Financial disclaimer

Our Website is a financial data and news portal, discussion forum and content aggregator. Islamicly is not a broker/dealer, we are not an investment advisor, we have no access to non-public information about publicly traded companies, and this is not a place for the giving or receiving of financial advice, advice concerning investment decisions or tax or legal advice. We are not regulated by the Financial Services Authority.

We are an educational forum for analysing, learning & discussing general and generic information related to stocks, investments and strategies. No content on the site constitutes - or should be understood as constituting - a recommendation to enter in any securities transactions or to engage in any of the investment strategies presented in our site content. We do not provide personalised recommendations or views as to whether a stock or investment approach is suited to the financial needs of a specific individual.

Much of the content on this site is user-generated and, as such, impossible to monitor effectively. Excluding the Islamicly Content and Islamicly Data, all of the information on our Website and the app about businesses, companies is provided by our Registered Users and other third parties. We act as a mere conduit for this information published on our Website and the app, and we do not select, monitor, edit, modify review, evaluate or otherwise oversee the information or the publication of the information on our Website and the app.

Where we present screens, the results should only be treated as candidates for further research, not as a buy list or set of recommendations. Screening may help to narrow a search based on pre-defined criteria but it is not a substitute for independent research reflecting your individual criteria for investing/trading.

Islamicly Content and Islamicly Data is intended to be used and must be used for informational purposes only. It is very important to do your own analysis before making any investment based on your own personal circumstances. You should take professional financial advice in connection with, or independently research and verify, any information that you find on our Website and the app and wish to rely upon, whether for the purpose of making an investment decision or otherwise. Any arrangements between you and any third party contacted via the Website and the app are at your sole risk.

Accordingly, we will not be liable, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, in respect of any damage, expense or other loss you may suffer arising out of such information or any reliance you may place upon such information.

Our Website and the app is directed to the global user. For the avoidance of doubt, the Website is not being explicitly offered in the US or Canada or to US persons or Canadian persons. Nothing on this Website or any part thereof is intended to constitute an offer or solicitation to buy or sell investments in any jurisdiction.

We do not therefore warrant that our Website complies with the applicable laws or regulations of any particular jurisdiction. Accordingly, if it is prohibited to make information provided on this Website and the app or any part thereof available in your jurisdiction or to you (by reason of nationality, residence or otherwise) the Website or any part thereof is not directed at you.

You accept that, you must satisfy yourself that you are lawfully able to access our Website and the app and, in particular, able to lawfully receive any document which contains links or allows you access to other websites and the app in the country from where you are accessing the User Content, Third Party Content and/or Islamicly Content.

We do not accept any liability for any costs, losses or damages resulting from, or related to, the availability or content of the Website and the app to persons in any jurisdiction globally.

We would like to draw your attention to the following important investment warnings: i) the value of shares and investments and the income derived from them can go down as well as up; ii) investors may not get back the amount they invested; and iii) past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance.

From time to time, Islamicly may also offer you access to certain new features of the Website and the app as a "beta user".
