Licence agreement

This is the End User Licence Agreement for the Sirat software. It is a contract between you and Sirat, the team that makes and operates the app from Pakistan, and it covers the app itself: the code you install on your phone.

The Terms of Service cover the service around the app, and the Privacy Policy covers your data. Where this agreement and the Terms of Service disagree about the software licence specifically, this agreement wins.

Installing or using Sirat means you accept it. If you do not accept it, delete the app.

Where you got the app matters. If you downloaded Sirat from the App Store, the terms Apple requires apply as well. If you got it from Google Play, the terms Google requires apply. Both sections are near the end.

What you are getting

We give you a personal, limited, non exclusive, non transferable, revocable licence to install and use Sirat on devices you own or control, for your own non commercial use.

That is a licence, not a sale. We keep ownership of the software, and you get permission to use it.

If you installed from a store, that store’s usage rules apply too. On Apple platforms that means you may use Sirat on any Apple branded device you own or control, as the App Store Terms of Service allow, and Family Sharing or volume purchasing may let others in your family or organisation use it as those programmes describe.

Buying Sirat Plus does not change this licence. It unlocks features; it does not transfer ownership of anything.

What you may not do

Please do not:

• copy, sell, rent, lease, lend, sublicense or otherwise distribute the app,
• modify it, translate it, or build something derived from it,
• reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it, or try to extract its source code, except exactly as far as the law gives you that right and you cannot waive it,
• remove or obscure any copyright, trade mark or ownership notice,
• use it to build a competing product, or to train a machine learning model,
• run it on a modified operating system, an emulator or a jailbroken device in a way that circumvents security,
• bypass, disable or interfere with anything that enforces the licence or protects the service,
• extract, scrape or redistribute the app’s data, content or assets, and
• use it for anything unlawful.

Interoperability. If you are in the EU, Directive 2009/24/EC gives you a right to decompile in the narrow circumstances needed to make Sirat work with other software. Nothing above takes that right away. Please write to sirat.support@gmail.com first, since we would rather just give you the information.

Who owns what

Sirat and everything in it, including the code, the interface, the design system, the artwork, the copy, the name and the logo, belongs to Sirat or its licensors, and is protected by copyright, trade mark and other law worldwide.

Three exceptions worth naming:

• Open source components. The app includes open source software, each piece under its own licence. The full list is in the app under Settings, then About, then Open source. Where an open source licence conflicts with this agreement for that component, the open source licence wins for that component.
• Fonts. Archivo, Amiri and Reem Kufi, each under its own open font licence.
• Religious content. The Arabic Qur’an text is the word of Allah and is owned by nobody. The English translation shipped in the reader and the widgets is The Meaning of the Glorious Koran by Marmaduke Pickthall (1930, public domain), fetched at read time from the Al Quran Cloud API (edition en.pickthall) alongside the Uthmani Arabic script. The short renderings of meaning in the home-screen verse widget are Sirat's own and are labelled as such, used under its own licence, and that licence governs that text. Hadith and du’a are traditional texts, sourced in the app.

Your data is yours. Nothing in this agreement gives us ownership of what you write or record. See What you write, and who owns it in the Terms of Service.

Purchases inside the app

Sirat Plus is bought through Apple or Google, not from us directly. Prices, billing, renewal and refunds are handled by the store, under the store’s rules and the payments section of our Terms of Service.

Buying Plus extends what this licence lets you use. It does not change anything else in it.

Updates

We may release updates, and depending on your settings your device may install them automatically. Updates are covered by this same agreement.

An update may add features, change features or remove them. Where we remove something you paid for, the notice and refund commitments in our Terms of Service apply.

We may stop supporting older versions of the app or older operating systems. If we do, the app may stop working properly on those, and the answer is to update.

How long this lasts, and how it ends

This licence starts when you install Sirat and runs until it ends.

You can end it at any time by deleting the app from your devices.

We can end it if you materially breach it. Where we reasonably can, we will tell you what the problem is and give you a chance to put it right first.

When the licence ends you must stop using Sirat and delete it. The sections on ownership, disclaimers, liability, export and general terms carry on afterwards, as they have to.

Ending this licence does not by itself delete your account. To do that, see Delete your account.

Sirat is not a religious authority

We are repeating this here because it belongs in the licence as well as in the terms.

Prayer times are computed by an algorithm. Qibla comes from a phone compass. Hijri dates follow a calculation, and calculation and local moon sighting do not always agree. Any of these can be wrong for your location, your school of thought or your circumstances.

Treat Sirat as a helpful instrument, not as a source of religious rulings. For anything that matters, ask a qualified scholar or your local mosque, and follow them rather than us.

What we do not warrant

To the fullest extent the law allows, Sirat is provided “as is” and “as available”, with all faults, and without warranty of any kind. We disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non infringement.

We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted or error free, that defects will be fixed, that it is free of harmful components, or that prayer times, qibla or calendar dates are accurate for your situation.

Your consumer rights survive all of that. If you are a consumer in the EU, Directive 2019/770 on digital content and services applies. In the UK, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 applies. In Australia, the consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law apply and cannot be excluded, and where they do our liability is limited to resupplying the service or paying the cost of doing so. Some places do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties at all, so parts of this section may simply not apply to you.

Where our liability ends

To the fullest extent the law allows, neither Sirat nor its directors, employees or suppliers is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, business interruption, or missed worship, arising from your use of or inability to use Sirat, even if we were told such damages were possible.

Our total liability under this agreement is limited to whichever is greater: what you paid us for Sirat in the twelve months before the claim, or US$50.

We do not exclude or limit liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. If you are a consumer, these limits apply only as far as your local law permits.

Export, sanctions and government users

You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a United States government embargo or designated as a terrorist supporting country, and that you are not on any United States government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

You agree to comply with all applicable export control and sanctions laws, and not to export or re-export Sirat where those laws forbid it.

If you are a United States Government end user, Sirat is “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as those terms are used in FAR 12.212 and DFARS 227.7202, and is provided with only the rights granted to all other end users under this agreement.

The terms Apple requires

If you got Sirat from the App Store, Apple requires us to include the following, and they apply in addition to everything above.

This agreement is between you and us, not Apple. Sirat, not Apple, is solely responsible for Sirat and its content.

Scope of licence. The licence granted to you for Sirat is limited to a non transferable licence to use the app on any Apple branded product that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that Sirat may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.

Maintenance and support. Sirat is solely responsible for providing maintenance and support for Sirat, as specified in this agreement or as required by applicable law. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services for Sirat.

Warranty. Sirat is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent they are not effectively disclaimed. If Sirat fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of Sirat to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to Sirat, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be Sirat‘s sole responsibility.

Product claims. Sirat, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to Sirat or your possession and use of it, including product liability claims, any claim that Sirat fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar legislation, including in connection with Sirat‘s use of the HealthKit and HomeKit frameworks where applicable.

Intellectual property rights. In the event of any third party claim that Sirat or your possession and use of it infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, Sirat, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of any such claim.

Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country that is subject to a United States government embargo or that has been designated by the United States government as a terrorist supporting country, and that you are not listed on any United States government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Developer contact. Questions, complaints and claims about Sirat should be directed to Sirat at sirat.support@gmail.com. Apple publishes the developer’s registered name and address on the App Store listing itself.

Third party terms. You must comply with applicable third party terms of agreement when using Sirat. For example, your wireless data agreement must not be violated by your use of it.

Third party beneficiary. You and Sirat acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third party beneficiaries of this agreement, and that upon your acceptance of it Apple will have the right, and will be deemed to have accepted the right, to enforce this agreement against you as a third party beneficiary of it.

The iOS application identifier is com.sirat.mobile.

The terms Google requires

If you got Sirat from Google Play, the following applies in addition to everything above.

Your use of Sirat is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. Where this agreement and the Google Play Terms of Service conflict, the Google Play Terms of Service govern, but only to the extent of the conflict and only for downloads and purchases made through Google Play.

Google is not a party to this agreement and is not responsible for Sirat. Sirat is solely responsible for the app, for support, and for any claims relating to it.

Refunds for purchases made through Google Play are handled under Google Play’s refund policy. Google may remove Sirat from your device or from Google Play in the circumstances described in the Google Play Terms of Service and the Developer Distribution Agreement.

The Android application identifier is com.sirat.mobile.

General

Governing law. This agreement is governed by the laws of Pakistan, without regard to conflict of law rules. If you are a consumer, this does not remove the protection of the mandatory laws of the country you live in.

Disputes. The dispute resolution section of our Terms of Service applies to this agreement too, including the consumer exemptions in it.

Whole agreement. This agreement, with the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy, is the entire agreement between you and us about the Sirat software, and replaces anything said before it.

Severability. If a court strikes out part of this agreement, the rest carries on.

No waiver. Not enforcing something once does not mean we have given it up.

Assignment. You may not transfer this agreement. We may, as part of a sale or reorganisation, and we will tell you if that happens.

Changes. We may update this agreement. Material changes get 30 days’ notice in the app and by email. Carrying on using Sirat after that means you accept them. If you do not, delete the app and, if you have an unused subscription, ask us for a refund.

Language. This agreement is written in English. A translation is for convenience, and the English version governs unless your local law says otherwise.
