Terms of use

These terms govern your use of the PrayArabic app and this website, provided by Al Baqshi. By using the app or the website you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use them.

What PrayArabic is

PrayArabic is a learning companion for the prayer. It teaches the order, the words and their pronunciation, and guides you step by step. It is not a religious authority:

• It does not decide whether a prayer is valid, and it does not give religious rulings.
• For religious questions, ask a qualified scholar or teacher.
• Prayer times and the qibla direction are estimates calculated from your location. Where it matters, check them with your mosque or local authority.

Content

We take care that the Arabic, the transliteration and the translations are accurate, and content is reviewed before it is published. The app may show preview content whose review is not finished, and says so when it does. If you find a mistake, please tell us.

The Quran text is from the Tanzil Project (tanzil.net), Simple text version 1.1, shown verbatim under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 licence (CC BY 3.0).

Tips

Tips are entirely voluntary and do not unlock any feature or content. They go through the App Store or Google Play and are subject to their terms. We cannot issue refunds directly: please ask Apple or Google under their refund policies.

Ownership and licence

The app, its design, recordings and text, apart from the Quran text and third-party material, belong to Al Baqshi or its licensors. We give you a personal, non-commercial, non-transferable licence to use the app on devices you own or control, under the rules of the store you downloaded it from.

App stores

If you downloaded the app from the App Store:

• These terms are between you and us, not Apple. We alone are responsible for the app and its content.
• Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the app.
• Apple is not responsible for any claims relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to meet legal requirements, and intellectual property claims.
• You confirm that you are not in a country subject to a US Government embargo, and are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.
• The Usage Rules in the App Store terms also apply.

If you downloaded it from Google Play, the Google Play Terms of Service also apply.

Availability and changes

The app is free. We may add, change or remove features, and the service may pause for maintenance.

Disclaimer

As far as the law allows, the app is provided “as is” and “as available”, without any promise that it will be free of errors or interruptions. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law that cannot be excluded.

Limitation of liability

As far as the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability is limited to the tips you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.

Ending

You can stop using the app and delete your account whenever you like. We may end your access if you break these terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand, without affecting rights you have under the laws of the country where you live that cannot be excluded.

Changes to these terms

If we change these terms, we will post the new version here with its date. Using the app after that means you accept them.
