Terms of Service

The simple, fair rules that keep our alumni community safe and welcoming.

Effective date: October 15, 2026. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and the BCBHS Alumni Association (“we”, “us”, “our”), a voluntary alumni community based in Bogura, Bangladesh, under the Contract Act, 1872. By registering for or using the BCBHS Alumni Portal, you accept these Terms in full.

1. Definitions

  • “Portal” means the BCBHS Alumni Portal website and its services.
  • “Member” means a person whose registration has been approved by an administrator.
  • “Content” means text, photographs, job circulars, and other material posted by users.

2. Eligibility

The portal is an exclusive community for alumni of Bogura Cantonment Board High School. You must be at least 18 years old, or have the consent of a parent or guardian, to register. Every application is manually verified by our administrators before membership is approved; providing false school or identity information is grounds for immediate and permanent removal.

3. Your account

  • You must provide accurate and complete information during registration and keep it updated.
  • You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity under your account, do not share your account with anyone.
  • One account per person. If you lose access, contact us instead of creating a duplicate account.
  • Notify us immediately at bcbhs.alumni2023@gmail.com if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

4. Membership verification & ID card

Approval may take up to 7 days while administrators verify your alumni status. Once approved, you receive an official digital Alumni ID card bearing a verification QR code. The ID card is issued by the association, it must not be forged, altered, duplicated, or used to misrepresent any person. Misuse of the ID card will result in termination and may be reported to the authorities.

5. Acceptable conduct

As a member of this community, you agree not to:

  • Harass, threaten, defame, or abuse fellow members, online or offline.
  • Post spam, scams, misleading job offers, or unauthorized advertisements.
  • Share anyone's private contact details without their clear permission.
  • Upload photos or content you do not have the right to share, or that is obscene, hateful, or otherwise unlawful.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to other members' accounts, private data, or restricted administrative areas.
  • Impersonate any person, or publish deliberately false or misleading information.
  • Commit any act punishable under the Cyber Security Act, 2023 or the Information and Communication Technology Act, 2006 of Bangladesh, including identity fraud, cyber fraud, unauthorized access, and transmission of threatening or defamatory content, or under any other law of Bangladesh.

Violations may be reported to the Bangladesh Police Cyber Unit or other competent authorities, in addition to action under Section 10 below.

6. Content you share

You retain ownership of the Content you post. By posting, you grant the association a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display that Content within the portal (directory, gallery, memory wall, event pages). You confirm that you have the right to share everything you post, including the consent of any identifiable person appearing in your photos.

If a photo of you has been posted and you want it removed, contact us and we will take it down promptly. We reserve the right to remove any Content that violates these Terms without prior notice.

7. Job board & blood donors

Job circulars and blood donor listings are member-contributed. The association makes reasonable efforts to keep them genuine but does not guarantee any job offer, employer, salary, or donor availability, always verify details independently before acting or sharing personal information. In a medical emergency, contact official emergency services first; a donor listing is never a substitute for professional care.

8. Privacy

Our handling of your personal data is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. By accepting these Terms, you also accept the Privacy Policy.

9. Fees

Membership of the portal is currently free of charge. If any paid service is introduced in the future, its terms and pricing will be presented clearly before you are charged anything.

10. Suspension & termination

Administrators may warn, suspend, or permanently remove any account that violates these Terms, provides false information, or harms the community, with or without prior notice in serious cases. You may also end your membership at any time by requesting account deletion at bcbhs.alumni2023@gmail.com.

11. Disclaimer & limitation of liability

The portal is provided “as is” on a best-effort, volunteer-run basis. We aim for reliable service but do not warrant uninterrupted, error-free operation. To the maximum extent permitted by the laws of Bangladesh, the association, its administrators, and volunteers shall not be liable for any direct or indirect loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the portal, including reliance on member-posted content.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the BCBHS Alumni Association, its administrators, and volunteers against any claim, loss, or expense arising from your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the portal.

13. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable by a competent court, the remaining provisions continue in full force, and the unenforceable provision shall be applied to the maximum extent permitted by law.

14. Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the association regarding the portal, superseding any prior understanding on the same subject.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms as the community grows. Material changes will be announced on the portal; your continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

16. Governing law & jurisdiction

These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and your use of the portal are governed by the laws of Bangladesh, including the Contract Act, 1872, the Information and Communication Technology Act, 2006, and the Cyber Security Act, 2023. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with the portal shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Bangladesh.
