Terms and Conditions

Deen Companion  •  Effective date: August 6, 2026  •  Last updated: August 6, 2026

Please read these Terms and Conditions ("Terms") carefully before using the Deen Companion mobile application ("the App"), developed by DevSouq Technologies (Muhammad Ali Tahir). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

1. About the App

Deen Companion is a free, general-audience reference application providing Islamic content and tools, including the Quran, Hadith collections, Duas, the Names of Allah (Asma-ul-Husna), Islamic names, prayer times, Qibla direction, an Islamic (Hijri) calendar, and a Zakat calculator. The App does not require an account and stores your Favorites and Recent Activity locally on your own device. The App is supported in part by third-party advertising (Section 8).

2. Eligibility & Age Requirement

You must be at least 13 years old to use Deen Companion. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction but are 13 or older, you may use the App only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian.

Deen Companion is not directed at, and is not designed for, children under 13, and we ask that children under 13 not use the App. By using the App, you represent that you meet this age requirement. See our Privacy Policy for how this affects advertising shown to you.

3. Religious Content Disclaimer

Deen Companion is provided as an educational and devotional aid. It is not a substitute for consulting qualified Islamic scholars ('ulama) for religious rulings (fatawa) or guidance on matters of 'aqidah, fiqh, or personal worship.

4. Prayer Times & Qibla Direction Disclaimer

Prayer times and Qibla direction shown in the App are calculated estimates based on your device's location, compass, and standard astronomical/calculation methods (via a third-party prayer-times service). They are provided for convenience and general guidance only.

5. No Accounts; Local Data

The App does not require registration or a user account. Favorites and Recent Activity are stored locally on your device and are not backed up to any server we operate. If you uninstall the App, switch devices, or clear app storage, this locally saved data will be lost and cannot be recovered by us, since we never had a copy of it. See our Privacy Policy for details.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

7. Intellectual Property

The App's design, original code, graphics, and branding are owned by DevSouq Technologies or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Quranic text, Hadith collections, Dua text, and similar religious reference content are, to the extent applicable, part of the shared Islamic scholarly heritage and/or licensed from third-party content providers; such content is not our proprietary work product. You may use the App for personal, non-commercial, devotional and educational purposes.

8. Advertising

Deen Companion is a free App supported in part by advertising served through Google AdMob and Google's advertising partners. By using the App, you acknowledge and agree that:

9. Third-Party Content and Services

The App relies on third-party APIs and SDKs (for example, for prayer time calculations, Quran/Hadith/Dua content, and advertising) to function. We do not control these third-party services and cannot guarantee their continuous availability, accuracy, or uptime. If a third-party service is unavailable, related features of the App (e.g., fetching new content or displaying ads) may be temporarily degraded; previously cached content will generally remain available offline.

10. Audio Playback

Quran recitation audio is streamed from third-party sources. Streaming audio uses your mobile data or Wi-Fi connection; standard data charges from your carrier may apply. We are not responsible for data charges incurred through your use of audio playback features.

11. Location & Device Permissions

Certain features (Prayer Times, Qibla Direction, prayer reminder notifications, background audio playback) require permissions such as location and notifications. These are requested from your device's operating system, and you may grant or deny them at any time in your device settings. Denying a permission may limit the related feature but will not prevent you from using the rest of the App.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or accuracy of content. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that any content (religious, calculated, advertising, or otherwise) is completely accurate or current.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, DevSouq Technologies shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the App — including reliance on prayer times, Qibla direction, any religious content, or any third-party advertisement provided through the App. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless DevSouq Technologies from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your violation of these Terms or misuse of the App.

15. Changes to the App and These Terms

We may update, modify, or discontinue features of the App at any time. We may also revise these Terms from time to time; the "Last updated" date above will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

16. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or discontinue the App (in whole or in part) at our discretion, including if required by app store policies or applicable law.

17. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, unless otherwise required by applicable local consumer protection law in your country of residence.
