1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using DUA — Spiritual Companion ("the app"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the app.

2. Description of Service

DUA is a free Islamic companion application that provides:

• Daily prayer times calculated for the city you choose
• Prayer notifications with a choice of bundled azans and tones
• A weekly and monthly prayer timetable, exportable as a PDF
• A live Qibla compass showing direction and distance to Mecca
• The full Quran in Arabic with translations and audio recitation
• An AI assistant for religious questions
• An Islamic calendar with Hijri dates and holidays
• Personal progress features — XP, daily streaks and knowledge quizzes

The app does NOT:

• ❌ Require an account or registration
• ❌ Collect, sell or share personal data
• ❌ Issue religious rulings or fatwas
• ❌ Replace a qualified scholar or your local religious authority
• ❌ Show advertising

3. Religious Content and Accuracy

We have taken care with the app's religious content. Even so:

• Scholarly opinion differs on several matters the app must pick a default for, including the Asr calculation and the treatment of high latitudes.
• Where a question matters to you, follow your own madhab and your local religious authority rather than the app's default.
• If you believe any content in the app is incorrect, please tell us and we will review it.

4. Prayer Times and Qibla Direction

Prayer times are astronomical calculations, not observations. Their accuracy depends on:

• The accuracy of the location your device reports
• The calculation method and madhab you have selected — 16 methods are available and they do not agree with one another
• Your device's clock and time zone being correct
• Local conventions, which may differ from any calculated result

The Qibla compass depends on your device's magnetometer. It can be affected by:

• Nearby metal, magnets, cases and electronics
• A compass that has not been calibrated
• Hardware limitations of the device itself

Verify prayer times against your local mosque or religious authority, and confirm the Qibla by an independent means where accuracy matters.

5. The DUA AI Assistant

The assistant generates answers using a third-party model operated by OpenAI, reached through a server we run. By using it you accept that:

• Its answers are informational only, and are not fatwas, rulings, or religious, legal, medical or financial advice.
• It can produce answers that are incomplete, outdated or simply incorrect.
• Important questions should be taken to a qualified scholar, not to the app.
• With your permission, asked before the first chat, the text of your messages and your username (if you entered one) are sent to our server and forwarded to OpenAI in order to generate a reply. You can withdraw that permission at any time in the app. See the Privacy Policy for what is and is not retained.
• A daily message limit applies per device, and the feature may be paused, limited or withdrawn at any time.

You agree not to use the assistant to generate unlawful, abusive, hateful or deliberately misleading content, and not to present its output as an authoritative religious ruling.

6. Quran Content and Third-Party Sources

• Quran text, translation and audio recitation are supplied by alquran.cloud and cdn.islamic.network, and are subject to those services' own terms and availability.
• We do not control those services. Content may change, and features that depend on them may be unavailable when they are.
• Recitation audio remains the property of its reciter and publisher.
• If you find an error in the text or translation, tell us and we will raise it with the source.

7. Price and Availability

• DUA is free to download and free to use. There are no in-app purchases and no subscriptions.
• No account is required, and none can be created.
• Features that depend on the internet — the Quran, the assistant — need a connection. Prayer times, the Qibla and the calendar work offline once your location is known.
• We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the app at any time.

8. Age

The app collects only the limited information described in the Privacy Policy. Prayer times, the Qibla, the Quran and the calendar are suitable for all ages.

The DUA AI assistant is provided through OpenAI and is intended for users aged 13 and over. Users under 18 should use it only with the permission of a parent or guardian. If a child in your care uses the assistant, we recommend you supervise that use.

9. User Responsibilities

You are responsible for:

• Verifying anything in the app that matters to your religious practice
• Keeping your device's location, clock and compass working correctly
• Using the app in line with the laws that apply to you

You agree NOT to:

• Use the app for any unlawful purpose
• Present the app or its assistant as a religious authority
• Reverse engineer, decompile or copy the app
• Redistribute the app's bundled audio, imagery or avatar artwork
• Use automated tools against the app or its server, or attempt to bypass the daily assistant limit
• Attempt to breach the security of the app or its server

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

We make no warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to:

• Accuracy of prayer times or Qibla direction
• Accuracy or completeness of Quran text, translation or audio
• Accuracy of anything produced by the AI assistant
• Fitness for any particular purpose
• Uninterrupted or error-free operation
• Continued availability of any third-party service the app depends on

11. Limitation of Liability

We are NOT liable for:

• A prayer performed at an incorrect time, or in an incorrect direction
• Decisions made on the basis of anything the app or its assistant states
• Inaccuracies in third-party data or content
• Technical issues, malfunctions, lost data or interrupted service
• Any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages

12. Intellectual Property

App ownership:

• DUA and its original content are owned by Evolved Gorillas LLC. All rights reserved.
• You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the app.
