3. Trade Marks and Branding

"Rendah Mag", associated logos, marks, brand identifiers, publication names, graphics, and trade dress are protected by trade mark, passing off, unfair competition, and related laws. You must not use them in a way that suggests endorsement, affiliation, origin, sponsorship, or approval without our prior written permission.

4. Limited Personal Licence

Subject to your compliance with our Terms and this Notice, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access and view Content for your own personal, lawful, non-commercial use.

You may share links to public pages on the Services.
You may quote short extracts for lawful criticism, review, research, or commentary, provided you include clear attribution and do not substitute for the original work.
You may download or print Content only where the Services expressly provide that functionality, and only for personal use.
All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

Create derivative works, translations, adaptations, archives, compilations, databases, or competing products from Content.
Remove, obscure, disable, or alter rights notices, credit lines, watermarks, metadata, or technical protection measures.
Scrape, crawl, spider, harvest, bulk download, index, mirror, cache, or systematically extract Content or data.
Frame, embed, deep link, or display Content in a way that misleads users, diverts traffic, bypasses controls, or implies endorsement.
Bypass paywalls, rate limits, authentication, geographic restrictions, download controls, watermarking, DRM, or other access controls.
Use Content for unlawful, defamatory, misleading, infringing, abusive, or brand-damaging purposes.

6. AI, Text and Data Mining, and Automated Extraction

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we expressly reserve all rights in relation to text and data mining, web scraping, machine learning, artificial intelligence, model training, model evaluation, embeddings, vector databases, retrieval systems, synthetic datasets, and automated extraction.

You must not use, copy, access, download, analyse, or ingest Content to train, fine-tune, validate, test, benchmark, improve, or operate AI systems, machine learning models, search indexes, datasets, or competing services without our prior written permission, except where applicable law gives you a non-excludable right.

7. Paid Content, Downloads, and Access Controls

Membership, archive, subscription, and download access is personal, revocable, non-transferable, and subject to ongoing compliance with our Terms.
You must not share login details, paid links, files, PDFs, downloads, screenshots, or access tokens with others.
Access may end on cancellation, non-payment, chargeback, refund, suspected misuse, or account termination, subject to applicable law.
Offline copies remain subject to this Notice and must be deleted if your right to possess them ends.

8. User Content

If you submit content to us or through the Services, you retain any rights you own, but you grant us the licence described in our Terms. You represent that you have all rights, permissions, releases, and consents needed to submit that content and to grant that licence.

You are responsible for claims arising from your content, including claims for infringement, privacy violations, defamation, publicity rights, or breach of contract.
