Terms of Use

Welcome to Noor, your companion for Quran reading, prayer reminders, and personal worship tracking. These Terms of Use explain the conditions for using the Noor application and its related services.

Please read these terms before using Noor. By using the service, you agree to these terms to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree, please stop using the service.

Read alongside our Privacy Policy. You can manage or delete your account at any time.

1. Who We Are

Noor is operated by Mahmoud Ahmed Abu Elazm, based in Egypt. For questions about these terms, contact mahmoudahmedabuelazem@gmail.com.

2. Eligibility and Acceptance

You must be legally able to agree to these terms in your jurisdiction. If you are below the age at which you may do so independently, use Noor only with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian as required by local law.

Additional terms may apply to features introduced later. Those terms will be presented before you use the relevant feature.

3. Your Account

Some features support guest access; others require an account. Provide accurate information, keep your credentials private, and tell us if you suspect unauthorized access. Do not impersonate others or access an account without permission.

You are responsible for activity you authorize through your account. Keep your device and contact details secure, and use the available sign-out and password-reset tools when needed.

4. Permitted Use

You may use Noor for lawful personal purposes, subject to these terms and any applicable content licenses.

• Do not attack, disrupt, overload, or bypass the security of our services.
• Do not use automated requests to abuse the API, harvest personal data, or evade usage limits.
• Do not upload unlawful content, malware, or content that infringes another person's rights.
• Do not misrepresent Noor's content or branding as your own.

Nothing here restricts rights that applicable law expressly permits, including lawful security research conducted without unauthorized access to personal information or disruption of the service.

5. Prayer Times and Reminders

Prayer times and Qibla calculations depend on location, time zone, calculation method, and device settings. Differences may occur between calculation methods and local mosque timetables. Verify the settings for your location and consult your local prayer timetable when needed.

Azan and other reminders can be affected by notification permissions, battery optimization, connectivity, operating-system restrictions, and device availability. Delivery at an exact time cannot be guaranteed. Noor should not be your only means of keeping track of prayer times.

6. Religious Content and Discovery Features

Quran text, translations, tafsir, hadith, and educational material are provided to support reading and learning. Translations and commentary may differ by source. Consult the cited source and a qualified scholar for religious rulings or questions requiring individual guidance.

Search and discovery results may be incomplete or contain matching errors. Check verse references and source attribution before relying on or sharing a result. Any automated assistance made available is informational and does not replace qualified religious advice.

7. Your Data and Personal Entries

Our Privacy Policy explains how account information, location settings, worship activity, and technical data are handled.

You retain your rights in personal entries you submit, such as notes and custom phrases. You permit Noor to store and process those entries only as needed to provide and maintain the requested service, subject to the Privacy Policy.

Progress scores and completion records are personal tracking tools. Sadaqah goals and amounts are entries for your own tracking; Noor does not process donations or payments through those tracking features.

8. Content and Intellectual Property

Noor's software, visual design, and brand assets are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. These terms give you permission to use the service; they do not transfer ownership of those assets.

Third-party Quran editions, translations, commentary, recordings, and other materials remain subject to their respective rights and licenses. Respect any attribution and reuse conditions provided with the content.

9. Third-Party Services

Features may rely on third parties, including Google Sign-In, Firebase notifications, hosting, and external content sources. Their availability and applicable terms may affect those features. Links to external services do not mean Noor endorses all of their content.

10. Changes and Availability

We may maintain, update, or change features to improve the service, address security issues, or comply with applicable requirements. Temporary interruptions may occur. Where reasonably practicable, we will give notice of material changes that affect your use.

If a paid feature is introduced, its price and applicable purchase or cancellation conditions will be disclosed separately before purchase.

11. Suspension and Account Deletion

We may restrict access where reasonably necessary to address serious misuse, a security risk, or a legal requirement. Where practicable and lawful, we will explain the restriction and allow you to contact us about it.

You may stop using Noor or delete your account at any time. Deletion is permanent. The Privacy Policy explains what is deleted, the minimal deletion record retained, and how provider logs and local device data are handled.

12. Service Limits and Responsibility

We work to provide a reliable service, but cannot promise uninterrupted availability, error-free content, or exact reminder delivery. To the extent permitted by law, the service is provided as available.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, or limits mandatory consumer rights. Any responsibility for loss is determined under applicable law, taking account of the circumstances.

13. Applicable Law and Resolving Concerns

These terms operate subject to applicable law, including any mandatory protections in your country of residence. They do not require you to waive those protections or agree to compulsory arbitration.

If you have a concern, contact mahmoudahmedabuelazem@gmail.com so we can try to resolve it. This does not prevent you from using any court, regulator, or complaint process available under applicable law.

14. Updates to These Terms

We may update these terms as features or requirements change. We will update the date shown on this page and provide additional notice of material changes where appropriate. Where new agreement is legally required, we will request it.
