Terms of Use

Last updated: 5 November 2026.

These terms apply when you use this website, register as a supporter, contribute, volunteer, report a case or take part in BRACE's activities. They replace the terms published on BRACE's former website (effective 20 June 2025). By using the website or registering, you agree to them.

About BRACE

BRACE (A Company set up under section 42 of the Companies Act, 2017), a not-for-profit company licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan and incorporated on 8 July 2025. Its registered office, company number (CUIN) and licence number are shown at the foot of every page of this website. It works for residents, property owners and tenants of housing schemes. It is non-political and non-sectarian.

Supporters and members of the company

Registering makes you a supporter of BRACE. It does not make you a member of the company: membership of the company, and voting at its general meetings, follow its Articles of Association. Supporting BRACE gives no authority to act or speak for it.

Privacy and confidentiality

BRACE keeps your personal information confidential and uses it only as its Privacy Policy sets out. That policy says what BRACE collects, why, who can see it and how long it is kept, and it forms part of these terms. What you write in a case is seen only by BRACE's case administrators and is never published.

Registering

• Register through the form on this website, giving accurate information; BRACE reviews every registration before it is approved.
• Any contribution that applies, and who may register, are shown on the registration form as BRACE has decided them.
• Keep your sign-in details to yourself. Tell BRACE straight away if you think someone else has used your account.

Contributions

Contributions are used only for BRACE's lawful, not-for-profit objects. Each payment is recorded on your supporter page and is counted only once BRACE has verified it. See Contributions and refunds.

How we expect everyone to behave

• uphold BRACE's principles of non-political, non-sectarian and lawful public service;
• treat fellow supporters, volunteers, staff and the people you deal with respectfully, without abuse, discrimination or disruption;
• follow the rules of BRACE's groups and events;
• give true information in registrations, cases and evidence;
• never claim to represent BRACE, or decide on its behalf, unless BRACE has given you that role.

Suspension

BRACE may suspend or end a registration if these terms are broken, for disrespectful conduct on BRACE's platforms or at its events, or for misuse of BRACE's name, logo or materials. You can end your registration at any time by asking through the Contact page.

BRACE's name and materials

You may share BRACE's published pages and documents, unchanged and with their source. Do not use BRACE's name, logo or materials for any political, fundraising or promotional purpose without BRACE's written permission.

What we publish
