1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Punjab Media Association ("PMA") website, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
2. Use of the Site
This website is provided as a public service by PMA. You agree to use the site only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of, or restrict the use and enjoyment of, any third party.
Specifically, you agree not to:
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the admin panel, database, or member records.
- Use automated tools to scrape the site, the member directory, or the verification endpoint.
- Submit false or misleading information through the contact or verification forms.
- Misrepresent any person's membership status or identity using information obtained from this site.
3. Member Verification
The verification system is provided to help confirm whether a person presenting a PMA card is a genuine, currently active member. Verification results are based on records held by PMA at the time of the request and may change without notice.
Verification confirms membership status only. It does not constitute a personal endorsement, character reference, or guarantee of any individual's conduct. Verifiers are expected to use their own judgement, including comparing the photograph displayed with the person presenting the card.
Use of the verification system is subject to rate limiting and CAPTCHA. Misuse — including bulk scraping or repeated abusive lookups — may result in IP blocking and, where applicable, legal action.
