You are solely responsible for your content and for ensuring it complies with applicable law and does not infringe the rights of others.

# 6. Intellectual Property
The App, including its design, software, graphics, logos, trademarks, text, original content, databases, and compilation of materials, is owned by or licensed to the Developer and is protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
Except where expressly permitted, you may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, sell, sublicense, or create derivative works from the App or its content.
Religious texts, Qur'anic verses, supplications, narrations, recitations, translations, and other third-party materials remain the property of their respective copyright holders or are used under applicable permissions or licenses.

# 7. Religious and Educational Purpose
ShiaNūr is intended to provide educational, devotional, and informational resources relating to Twelver Shia Islam.
The App is designed to assist personal worship and learning. It is not intended to replace qualified religious scholarship, legal advice, medical advice, emergency services, or professional guidance.
Users should consult appropriate qualified authorities when seeking religious rulings or advice for their specific circumstances.
---
# 8. Availability
We strive to keep the App available and functioning properly but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.
Maintenance, updates, technical issues, third-party service interruptions, or circumstances beyond our control may temporarily affect availability.

# 9. Updates
We may release updates, improvements, bug fixes, security patches, or new features at any time.
Some functionality may require updating to the latest version of the App.
---
# 10. Third-Party Services
The App may rely on third-party services, including authentication providers, analytics, cloud infrastructure, notifications, mapping, audio hosting, or similar services.
Your use of those services may also be governed by their respective terms and privacy policies.
We are not responsible for the content or practices of third-party services.
---
# 11. Disclaimer of Warranties
The App is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis to the fullest extent permitted by law.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted availability.
Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties that cannot legally be excluded.
---
# 12. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Developer shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or relating to the use of, or inability to use, the App.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability where such limitation is prohibited by applicable law.

- we are required to do so by applicable law.
- you create, share, or transmit objectionable content, or engage in abusive behavior toward other users
You may stop using the App at any time.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination—including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law—will continue to apply.

Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how personal information is collected, used, stored, and protected.

We may update these Terms from time to time.
If material changes are made, we will revise the "Last Updated" date and, where required by law, provide appropriate notice.
