10. Third-Party Links

This website contains links to third-party websites including Saudi government portals (Absher, Qiwa, HRSD, Jawazat, Muqeem, Nafath, Najiz), recruitment platforms, property portals and other external resources. These links are provided for the user's convenience only.

Saudi Expats Guide has no control over the content, accuracy, availability or privacy practices of external websites and accepts no responsibility for them. The inclusion of a link does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation of that site. Use of external websites is at your own risk and governed by those sites' own terms and privacy policies.

11. Force Majeure

Saudi Expats Guide shall not be liable for any failure or delay in making the website available where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to:

• Internet or technology outages, power failures or platform failures
• Natural disasters, extreme weather events or acts of God
• Government actions, civil unrest or other events making operation impossible

12. Severability

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable — or if not capable of modification, shall be severed from these Terms.

The invalidity or unenforceability of any single provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect.

13. Waiver

No failure or delay by Saudi Expats Guide in exercising any right, power or privilege under these Terms shall operate as a waiver of that right. No single or partial exercise of any right shall preclude any further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right.

If we choose not to enforce a particular term on one occasion, that does not mean we have permanently waived our right to enforce it in the future.

14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and Conditions and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India.

Any dispute arising in connection with these Terms, this website or our services shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of India. We encourage users to contact us directly in the first instance to resolve any dispute informally and in good faith before initiating formal legal proceedings.

Users accessing this website from within Saudi Arabia or any other jurisdiction do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with their own local laws.

15. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update, amend or replace these Terms and Conditions at any time. Changes will take effect from the date the updated terms are published on this page, as indicated by the "Last Updated" date at the top.
