Terms of Service

1. Who we are

The Services are operated by:

Faruk Selim Yıldız
Istanbul, Türkiye
Email: support@zeenprayertimes.com

In these Terms, "we", "us" and "our" refer to the operator above. "You" and "your" refer to the person using the Services.

2. Acceptance of these Terms

By downloading, installing, accessing or using the Services, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

You must be at least 9 years old, or the minimum age required to consent to processing of personal data in your country, in order to use Zeen. If you are below the age of majority where you live, you confirm that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and accepted these Terms on your behalf.

3. The Services

Zeen is a religious utility application that may provide, among other features:

• Prayer time calculations and notifications based on location and calculation method.
• Qibla direction using your device sensors.
• Quran reading, bookmarks and progress tracking.
• Dhikr (tasbih) counters, hijri calendar information and related religious utilities.
• Optional reminders, widgets and supporting content.

Zeen is a tool that helps you organize your worship. It is not a religious authority. Calculation results, calendars and directional information are produced by mathematical models and device sensors, and may differ from the official position of your local mosque, religious authority or community. You are responsible for using your own judgement and, where appropriate, verifying important times and rulings with qualified scholars or local religious authorities.

4. Accuracy of prayer times, Qibla and religious content

Prayer times, Qibla direction and similar information depend on many factors, including:

• The accuracy of your device's location, time and sensors.
• The calculation method, juristic school and high-latitude rule you select.
• Local conventions, official adjustments and seasonal corrections.
• Software limitations and rounding.

While we make reasonable efforts to provide accurate results, we do not guarantee that the times, directions or any other religious content provided through the Services will be free from errors or perfectly aligned with every interpretation, school of thought or local practice. You should treat the information provided as guidance and not as a final ruling.

5. License to use the App

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Zeen mobile application on devices you own or control, and to access the website, for your own personal, non-commercial religious use.

All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by us and our licensors.

6. Acceptable use

You agree that you will not, and will not allow any third party to:

• Use the Services in violation of any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right.
• Copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense or commercially exploit the Services, except as expressly permitted by these Terms or by applicable law.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or attempt to derive the source code of the app, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
• Remove, obscure or alter any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notices.
• Use the Services to harass, defame, threaten, or otherwise harm others, or to upload, share or transmit content that is unlawful, abusive, hateful, sexually explicit, or that incites violence.
• Interfere with or disrupt the Services, our servers, networks or APIs, including by sending automated traffic, scraping at unreasonable rates, or attempting to gain unauthorized access.
• Use the Services in a way that misrepresents religious rulings or impersonates a scholar, institution or religious authority.
• Bypass any access controls, security measures or rate limits, or use the Services to develop a competing product using our content or designs.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services if we reasonably believe that you have violated these rules.

7. User submissions

The Services may allow you to send us complaints, suggestions, feedback or other content (for example, through the in-app support form or by email). By submitting such content, you:

• Confirm that the content is your own or that you have the right to submit it.
• Grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license to use, reproduce, modify and incorporate the content into the Services and into our internal communications, in order to respond to you, improve the Services, and operate our business.
• Understand that we are not obliged to respond to every submission or to use any idea you submit.

Please do not send us confidential, secret or sensitive personal information through the support channels.

8. Intellectual property

The Services, including the application, source code, designs, logos, branding, text, illustrations, original translations, and other materials we create, are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws.

Religious source texts (such as the Arabic text of the Qurʾān) are not owned by us. We use such texts as part of a digital reading experience. Other content (such as translations, recitations or supporting materials) may be licensed from third parties and remain the property of their respective owners.

"Zeen" and the Zeen logo are our trademarks. You may not use our name or marks without our prior written consent, except for fair reference to the Services.

9. Third-party content and services

The Services may include links to third-party websites, apps or content (for example, mosque finder data, external articles, or app store pages). Third-party content is provided for convenience only. We do not endorse and are not responsible for third-party content, products or services, and your use of them is governed by the third party's own terms and privacy policies.

10. App store terms

If you download Zeen from the Apple App Store, Google Play, or another app store, your use of the application is also subject to the relevant store's terms and conditions. In particular:

• The applicable app store, not us, is responsible for handling your purchase, download and any in-store payment.
• The store's standard end-user license terms (for example, Apple's "Licensed Application End User License Agreement") apply to your use of the application, in addition to these Terms. Where there is a conflict between the store's mandatory terms and these Terms, the store's mandatory terms will prevail for the relevant matter.
• You agree to comply with all applicable third-party agreements when using the application (for example, your wireless data service agreement).

11. Purchases and subscriptions

Some features may, now or in the future, be offered as paid one-time purchases or subscriptions. If we offer such features:

• Purchases are processed by the relevant app store, and pricing, billing and renewals are subject to the store's rules.
• Subscriptions automatically renew unless you cancel them in your app store account before the renewal date.
• Refunds are handled according to the app store's policies and any applicable consumer protection laws.

We will update these Terms to provide more detail before any paid features become generally available.

12. Disclaimers

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, to the maximum extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that:

• The Services will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free or always available.
• The information provided (including prayer times, Qibla direction, calendars and translations) is complete, accurate or suitable for any particular religious ruling.
• Defects in the Services will be corrected, or that the Services will be compatible with every device, operating system version or configuration.

You are responsible for evaluating the accuracy and adequacy of the information for your own situation. Your use of the Services is at your own risk.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will we, our affiliates, contractors or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or business opportunities, arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or related to the Services will not exceed the greater of:

• The amount, if any, that you have actually paid to us for the Services in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim; or
• EUR 50 (fifty euro), or the equivalent in your local currency.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for matters that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, such as liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or any other liability which under applicable mandatory law cannot be limited.

14. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless us, our affiliates and our respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to:

• Your use or misuse of the Services;
• Your violation of these Terms or applicable law; or
• Any content you submit through the Services that infringes a third party's rights.

15. Suspension and termination

We may suspend, restrict or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe that:

• You have breached these Terms;
• Your use of the Services creates a security, legal or operational risk for us or other users; or
• We need to do so to comply with applicable law or a request from a competent authority.

You may stop using the Services at any time by uninstalling the application and ceasing to visit the website. Provisions that, by their nature, are intended to survive termination (such as intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification and governing law) will continue to apply.

16. Changes to the Services

We are continuously improving Zeen. We may, at any time and at our discretion:

• Add, change, restrict or remove features, content or supported devices;
• Update calculation methods, default settings or visual design; or
• Discontinue parts of the Services, or the Services as a whole.

Where reasonably possible, we will provide advance notice of significant changes through the app or on the website. We are not liable for any losses arising from changes to the Services, except as required by applicable law.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice (for example, inside the app or on the website).

Your continued use of the Services after the updated Terms become effective means that you accept the changes. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, please stop using the Services.

18. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or to your use of the Services are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

Subject to any non-waivable consumer rights you may have under the laws of your country of residence, you and we agree that the courts of Istanbul, Türkiye will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services. Where local consumer law requires that disputes be brought in your country of residence, you may also bring your claim there.

19. Miscellaneous

• Entire agreement: these Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms shown in the Services for specific features, form the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services.
• Severability: if any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
• No waiver: our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision.
• Assignment: you may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, or to an affiliate.
• Language: these Terms are provided in English. Where translations are made available for convenience, the English version will prevail in case of any conflict.
