Unofficially extending a flat

Q: Sometimes people extend their flats either by one or two extra rooms or balcony unofficially both in private or government setup like DDA flats. These extensions are done at mass level. Nobody is getting harm or any trouble due to this extension. Kindly tell me if this type of practice is allowed in Islam?

Accepting the "terms and conditions" on websites without reading them

Q: On many websites when making an account for something or placing an order an option is necessary to be ticked that says, "Do you agree to the terms and conditions?" or "Have you read the terms and conditions?" These terms are always so long that nobody reads them, but we still tick as if we have. Won't this be counted as a sin?

Distributing items which were jointly purchased

Q: I am participating in a technical project at my university which will be funded by the project's team members equally. The money collected will be used to buy parts and equipment for the project. During the project's duration, the remaining money will be kept reserved for use in case a part breaks and needs replacement.

After the project is over, the parts used in the project and the money will be equally distributed to the team members.

The parts distributed will be used, and may be worn. On what basis can the parts be distributed to the team members? Should they be distributed based on their value when they were bought, or should we estimate their current market value?
