Plain-language summary: this is a free educational tool provided as-is, with no
guarantee of accuracy and no warranty of any kind. It is not a substitute for qualified Islamic
scholarship. Use it, and any account you create, at your own discretion, and don't misuse it. The full
terms below are the ones that actually apply.
1. Acceptance of these terms
By accessing or using Qur'an Core Vocabulary (the "App," "we," "us," "our"), available at this
domain, you agree to these Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy, which is
incorporated into these terms by reference. If you do not agree to either, please do not use the
App.
2. Who can use the App
The App is intended for a general audience and does not itself restrict use by age. If you are under
the age of majority in your province or country, you should have a parent or guardian review these
terms with you before creating an account. If you are using the App on behalf of a school, mosque, or
other organization, you confirm that you have the authority to agree to these terms on that
organization's behalf.
3. What the App is
The App is a free, non-commercial educational tool for learning Qur'anic Arabic vocabulary through
flashcards, quizzes, and a guided learning course. It is provided for personal, educational use. It
is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to any mosque, publisher, translator, or
Islamic scholarly institution, and nothing about its presentation should be read as implying such an
affiliation.
4. Accounts
Creating an account is optional. If you choose to create one, you sign in using a one-time "magic
link" sent to the email address you provide — the App does not use passwords. You are responsible
for maintaining access to that email address, for keeping it accurate and up to date, and for any
activity that occurs through your account, whether or not you authorized it, to the extent that
activity resulted from your own failure to safeguard access to your email. If you don't create an
account, your learning progress is stored only in your own browser and is not synced across devices
or recoverable by us if lost.
You agree to provide an email address you actually control and not to create an account using
another person's email address without their permission.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
use the App for any unlawful purpose, or in a way that violates any applicable law or
regulation;
attempt to gain unauthorized access to another user's account, or to any part of the App's
systems or infrastructure not intended for public use;
interfere with, disrupt, or place an unreasonable load on the App's infrastructure or that of our
service providers (for example, automated bulk requests, scraping, or denial-of-service-style
traffic);
scrape, copy, or systematically extract the App's compiled word lists, examples, or underlying
dataset for use in another product, service, or publication without our prior written
permission;
reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the App beyond what is
already visible through ordinary use of a public web page;
impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or
entity;
upload or transmit any virus, malware, or other harmful code through the App; or
use the App in any way that could disable, overburden, damage, or impair it, or interfere with
any other party's use of it.
6. Qur'anic text, translations, and word data
The Qur'anic Arabic text itself is not owned by us or by anyone — it is preserved and transmitted as
a matter of Islamic tradition and is treated here as freely available for study and educational
reproduction, as is standard practice. Word-by-word Arabic/English data is drawn from the
word-by-word Qur'an dataset published by QuranExcel.com, which in turn draws its verse-level English
translations from the Saheeh International translation as published on
Quran.com. All are used here for the
same educational, non-commercial purpose — see the About page for
full source details.
The App's own software, design, curated word lists, meaning corrections, chapter groupings, and the
specific presentation of the content are the work of the developer and are protected by applicable
copyright law. You may use the App for personal, educational purposes. You may not scrape, copy, or
redistribute the App's compiled dataset or software in bulk for another product or service without
our prior written permission.
7. Rights concerns / notice process
If you are a rights holder to a specific translation, dataset, or other material used in the App and
believe it is being used here in a way that infringes your rights, please contact us using the
details in section 18 below, describing the material in question and your concern. We will review
any good-faith notice promptly and, where appropriate, remove or correct the material in
question.
8. No warranty — accuracy of content
We try to make word meanings, translations, and examples as accurate as reasonably possible, and we
actively review and correct errors as they're found. That said, the App is provided "as
is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied,
including but not limited to warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a
particular purpose, or non-infringement. Arabic word meanings — particularly in a classical religious
text — can be genuinely debated among scholars; nothing in the App should be treated as a definitive
or authoritative religious ruling or translation. We do not warrant that the App will be
uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free.
9. Third-party services and links
The App relies on third-party infrastructure providers (see our Privacy
Policy for details) to operate. If the App ever includes links to third-party websites or
resources, those links are provided for convenience only; we don't control and aren't responsible for
the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of any third-party site.
10. Availability and changes to the App
We may update, change, suspend, or discontinue the App, in whole or in part, at any time, with or
without notice. We are not liable to you for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the
App, or for any period during which it may be unavailable due to circumstances beyond our reasonable
control, including outages or failures of our hosting or email-delivery providers.
11. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the developer of
this App from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal
fees) arising out of your breach of these terms or your misuse of the App.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the developer of this App will 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 — even if advised of the possibility
of such damages. Your use of the App is at your own risk. Because the App is provided free of charge,
our total liability to you for any claim arising from your use of the App is limited to the greater
of (a) the amount, if any, you paid us to use the App (which is currently nothing), and (b) fifty
Canadian dollars (CAD $50).
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under
applicable law.
13. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the App or your account, at our discretion and without
notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these terms or that your use of the App poses a
risk to us, other users, or our service providers. You may stop using the App, or request deletion of
your account, at any time (see our Privacy Policy for how). Sections of
these terms that by their nature should survive termination — including sections 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, and
15 — will continue to apply after your access ends.
14. Resolving disagreements
If a disagreement arises between you and us regarding the App or these terms, we encourage you to
contact us first at the address in section 18 so we can try to resolve it informally. Nothing in this
section limits either party's right to seek relief through the courts as described in section 15
below.
15. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario,
Canada, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer
protection rights you may have under the laws of your own country or province of residence.
16. General provisions
Severability
If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in
full force and effect.
No waiver
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these terms is not a waiver of that right or
provision.
Entire agreement
These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding
the App, and supersede any prior agreements on the subject.
Assignment
We may transfer or assign our rights and obligations under these terms — for example, if
responsibility for the App is transferred to another maintainer — without affecting your rights under
them. You may not assign your rights under these terms without our consent.
17. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms of Use from time to time; the "Last updated" date above will reflect the
most recent change. Continued use of the App after an update means you accept the revised terms. If
changes are significant, we'll make a reasonable effort to highlight them within the App.
