الشروط والأحكام Terms & Conditions

These terms and conditions ("Agreement") set forth the general terms and conditions of your use of the "Athkar App" mobile application ("Mobile Application" or "Service" or "App") and any of its related products and services (collectively, "Services"). This Agreement is legally binding between you ("User", "you" or "your") and the Athkar Mobile Application developer ("Developer", "We", "Us" or "our"). By accessing and using the Mobile Application and Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. You acknowledge that this Agreement is a contract between you and the Developer, even though it is electronic and is not physically signed by you, and it governs your use of the Mobile Application and Services.

User Suggestions and Developer's Right

You are welcome to suggest improvements or provide comments regarding the app. However, the developer reserves the right to decide whether to implement any suggestion based on its applicability and the overall vision of the app. The developer is under no obligation to add any new feature, respond to any request, or support any new platform. All decisions regarding changes to the app and the addition of new features or platforms remain solely at the discretion of the developer.

Subscribing to the Pro version does not create any obligation on the developer to implement any specific request or add any feature requested by a subscriber. A subscription is a way to support the app's continuity — it is not a contract to develop custom or requested features.

Supported Platforms

Athkar is available exclusively on Apple devices: iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. There is no official Android version, and there are no plans to release an Android version. There is also no web version or version for any other operating system.

Important notice: If you see any app bearing the name "Athkar" or our logo on Google Play, any Android store, or any APK site, it is a stolen, impersonating app and has no connection to us. Please report it to us directly at athkarApp@fares.net and to the store in question so it can be taken down.

Disclaimer of Warranty and Limitation of Liability

We make no warranties or representations about the content, including but not limited to its accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability.

The Services and content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without any warranties of any kind. We hereby disclaim all warranties, including, but not limited to, the warranty of title, merchantability, and non-infringement of third parties' rights.

Neither we nor our partners shall be subject to liability for truth, accuracy, or completeness of any information conveyed to users of the Services or for errors, mistakes or omissions therein or for any delays or interruptions of the data or information stream from whatever cause. You agree that you use the Services and the content at your own risk.

Athkar App Premium Subscription (Monthly and Annual)

The Athkar App Premium service is available in both monthly and annual subscription plans. The subscription fees are nominal and the subscription is entirely optional — the app is fully functional in its core features without a subscription. Subscribing is a way to support the app's ongoing development, maintenance, updates, and distribution.

The payment will be charged to your Apple ID account upon confirmation of the subscription. The subscription will automatically renew unless you turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. The renewal fee will be charged to your account within 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period, at the subscription rate applicable at that time. You can manage and cancel your subscriptions by going to your account settings in the App Store after purchase.

You are responsible for reviewing the Fee Schedule from time to time and remaining aware of the fees charged by us and any applicable discounts. The Fee Schedule, including subscriber or any discounts, is subject to change at any time at our discretion.

Important: A subscription unlocks the Pro features advertised at the time of subscribing. The list of features included in the Pro version may change over time — features may be added or removed at the developer's discretion, and this does not entitle any subscriber to a refund or compensation. A subscription does not obligate the developer to implement specific requests from subscribers.

Religious Content

The content inside the app (adhkar, du'as, ruqyah, Qur'an translations, the 99 Names of Allah, and more) is drawn from recognized sources in the Qur'an and Sunnah. While we strive to review it carefully, typographical errors may occur, and some wordings may vary depending on the narration. Please refer to qualified scholars or original sources when needed. The developer is not responsible for any potential error in the content.

Prayer Times and Qibla

Prayer times and Qibla direction are calculated locally on your device using GPS coordinates and the calculation method you've selected. Accuracy may be affected by factors outside the app's control, including: location quality, device compass accuracy, calibration, magnetic interference, altitude, and differences in scholarly opinions on calculation methods. We always recommend verifying with your local mosque or the official authority in your country.

Alarms and the Athan

Prayer alarms in the app rely on the iOS system to fire a notification at the scheduled time. These alarms may be affected by operating system settings (such as Focus modes, low-power mode, disabled notifications, the app being force-closed, or the device being restarted). We recommend reviewing your settings to make sure alarms are active. The developer is not responsible for any missed or delayed prayer caused by an alarm that did not fire.

iCloud and Sync

When iCloud sync is enabled, synchronization is handled through Apple's infrastructure. Sync may be affected by the state of your iCloud account, available storage, server status, or internet connection. The developer is not responsible for any data loss caused by iCloud services.

App Use

By using the app, you agree not to: misuse the app or attempt to modify or hack it, resell or lease it, use it for unlawful purposes, or attempt to access paid features without a valid subscription.

Intellectual Property

The app, together with its design, the name "Athkar", its protected logo, its organization, its source code, and its interfaces, is owned by the developer (fares.net) and all rights are reserved. The logo, the name, and the interfaces may not be copied, distributed, reproduced, or reused without explicit written permission. The religious content itself (text of adhkar, du'as, and Qur'an) is of public nature, but the way it is organized and presented inside the app is protected.

Any unauthorized use of the logo, name, or design — whether in another app, website, social platform, or store — is considered impersonation. Please report it at athkarApp@fares.net, and we will take the necessary legal action.

Termination of Service

The developer reserves the right to discontinue the app or any of its services at any time, without prior notice, and without any liability to users or subscribers.

Important Disclaimer

The developer is not responsible for any mistakes or inaccuracies in the app's content. It is your responsibility — as the user — to double-check anything you rely on inside the app.

Prayer times, Qibla direction, and some content may not be 100% accurate in every case, as accuracy depends on the settings you have chosen (location, calculation method, time zone, location permissions, etc.). Please review your settings carefully and verify times and direction manually using trusted local or official sources before relying on them.

Changes and Amendments

We reserve the right to modify this Agreement or its terms relating to the Application and Services at any time, effective upon posting of an updated version of this Agreement in the Application. You may check any updates in the App setting page or on our website. Continued use of the Mobile Application and Services after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes.

Acceptance of These Terms

You acknowledge that you have read this Agreement and agree to all its terms and conditions. By accessing and using the Mobile Application and Services you agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree to abide by the terms of this Agreement, don't use the app — you are not authorized to access or use the Mobile Application and Services.

If you would like to contact us to understand more about this Agreement or wish to contact us concerning any matter relating to it, you may send an email to athkarApp@fares.net.
