Terms of Service

1. Who these terms are with

These terms are an agreement between you and ruhly, based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the service.

You must be old enough to form a binding contract where you live, or have a parent or guardian agree on your behalf. ruhly is suitable for children, but a child cannot agree to these terms alone.

2. Your account

You are responsible for keeping your sign-in details secure and for activity under your account. Tell us at ruhlysupport@gmail.com if you think someone else has access to it.

You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms, and we will tell you why unless doing so would be unsafe or unlawful.

3. Religious content — please read this one

ruhly publishes daily passages, hadith, Quran text and duas. This material is written editorially and reviewed against mainstream Sunni scholarship before it ships, and each item carries its source.

ruhly is a daily read, not a fatwa service. Nothing in the app is a religious ruling, and nothing in it substitutes for a qualified scholar. If a matter requires a ruling — anything touching worship, family, finance, or an obligation you are unsure of — take it to a scholar rather than to an app.

Prayer times, qibla direction and tahajjud timings are calculated from your location using standard methods. Calculation methods differ between schools and authorities, and devices report location imprecisely. Treat these as a helpful guide and verify against your local masjid where it matters.

AI-assisted features, including the weekly digest and the dua companion, are aids for reflection. They do not issue rulings and their output should not be treated as scholarship.

4. Subscriptions and billing

• ruhly has a free tier that is free permanently, and a paid tier, ruhly+.
• ruhly+ is billed by Apple through the App Store, and by Google through Google Play once Android ships. The store, not ruhly, takes the payment and holds the billing relationship with you.
• Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. You cancel through your Apple or Google account settings, not through us. Cancelling stops the next renewal; it does not refund the current period.
• Refunds are handled by the store under its own policy. We can help you contact them, but we cannot issue a store refund ourselves.
• We may change ruhly+ pricing. Existing subscribers get notice before a change takes effect and can cancel before it applies.
• Nothing in these terms limits any right you have under the Consumer Protection Act, 2002 (Ontario) or equivalent consumer legislation where you live.

5. Donations

Sadaqah given through ruhly goes directly to the charity you select, via that charity's own payment provider. ruhly does not hold the money, route it, or take any cut of it.

Because we never hold the funds, refunds, receipts and tax documentation are matters for the charity. We select charities in good faith, but we are not responsible for how a charity uses what it receives, and we do not provide Canadian donation tax receipts.

6. Acceptable use

Please do not:

• break the law, or use ruhly to harm, harass or deceive anyone;
• attempt to access accounts, data or systems that are not yours;
• scrape, bulk-download or resell ruhly content;
• reverse engineer the app, or interfere with its security features;
• automate or abuse requests in a way that degrades the service for others.

7. Content and ownership

The Quran and the hadith corpus are not ours and we claim no ownership of them. The passages ruhly writes, along with the app's design, code and branding, belong to ruhly.

You may share individual passages — the app has a share feature precisely for that. Republishing ruhly's written content in bulk, or presenting it as your own, is not permitted.

Anything you write in the app, such as reflections, stays yours. We store it in order to provide the service and we do not publish it.

8. Availability

We aim to keep ruhly running and accurate, but we provide it "as is" and "as available". We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that every calculation or citation will be correct in every circumstance.

We may change or discontinue features. If we discontinue something significant that you are paying for, we will give notice.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ruhly is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from your use of the service. Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.

Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or under applicable consumer protection legislation.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply in it, without regard to conflict of laws rules.

The courts of the Province of Ontario have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these terms or your use of ruhly, and you consent to their jurisdiction. This does not remove any right you may have to bring a claim in the courts of your own country where consumer law preserves that right.

11. Changes and contact

We may update these terms. Material changes will be announced in the app or by email rather than quietly edited in. Continuing to use ruhly after a change takes effect means you accept the updated terms.
