Terms of Service

By accessing and using the Qiyam mobile application ("the App") or visiting our website at qiyamapp.com ("the Website"), you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not access or use our App or Website.

Age Requirements

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account and use the App. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.

If you are under 18 years old (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction), you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

Binding Agreement

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Amine Benlaroui ("we," "us," or "our"). By using our Service, you also agree to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

Qiyam is a mobile application for iPhone and Android designed to help Muslims review and retain their Quran memorization using scientifically-proven spaced repetition techniques, specifically the SM-2 algorithm.

Core Features

• Smart Quizzing: Context-aware verse quizzing that mimics natural memorization flow
• Adaptive Spaced Repetition: Personalized review schedules based on your performance using the SM-2 algorithm
• Workload Management: Intelligent scheduling to provide consistent, predictable daily reviews
• Progress Tracking: Detailed statistics and mastery levels for individual verses
• User Control: Fast-track verses, adjust mastery levels, and exclude frequently-recited surahs

Qiyam Premium (Optional)

Qiyam is free to use. Memorization, quizzing, review scheduling, notifications, and cloud sync are all included at no cost and are not limited by a subscription.

Qiyam Premium is an optional paid subscription that unlocks additional features. It currently includes:

• Memory Map: An analytics view of your memorization, showing the state of what you have memorized across the Quran
• Trends: How your recall, effort and consistency change over time
• Streak protection: More streak freezes, and a monthly streak repair

We plan to add more Premium features over time. New Premium features are included in your existing subscription at no extra cost. As the App evolves, Premium features may be added, changed, or removed, and we may adjust which features are part of Premium.

Quranic Content Source

The Quranic text in the App is sourced from Al Quran Cloud API using the Hafs recitation. We strive for accuracy in presenting the Quranic text, but users should consult qualified scholars and authenticated printed Mushafs for religious guidance and verification.

Quranic Text

The Quranic text presented in the App is sourced from Al Quran Cloud API. The Quran itself is the sacred word of Allah (God) and is not subject to copyright. However, the specific digital compilation, formatting, and API provided by Al Quran Cloud are subject to their terms of use.

We acknowledge and attribute the Quranic text to Al Quran Cloud. Users are encouraged to visit alquran.cloud for more information about their Quranic text service.

We do not claim ownership of Your Data. You may request to export or delete Your Data at any time by contacting us at contact@qiyamapp.com.

Qiyam Is Free to Use

Qiyam is free to download from the Apple App Store and Google Play, and free to use. You do not need a subscription to memorize, quiz yourself, schedule reviews, receive notifications, or sync your data. A subscription is only required for the optional Premium features described above.

Qiyam Premium Subscriptions

Qiyam Premium is offered as an auto-renewable subscription in two lengths:

• Qiyam Premium Monthly: renews every month
• Qiyam Premium Annual: renews every year

Prices are shown in your local currency in the App Store or Google Play and may vary by region, by store and over time. The price you will be charged is always displayed for confirmation before you complete a purchase.

Free Trial

New subscribers may be offered a 1-week free trial, available on both the monthly and annual subscriptions.

• Eligibility: Apple or Google determines whether you are eligible for the free trial. The trial is available once per Apple ID or Google account, not once per Qiyam account. Creating a new Qiyam account does not make you eligible again.
• Conversion: If you do not cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, it converts automatically into a paid subscription and your account is charged
• Forfeiture: Any unused portion of a free trial period is forfeited when you purchase a subscription

Billing and Auto-Renewal

Qiyam Premium is sold through Apple In-App Purchase on iPhone and Google Play Billing on Android. The store you buy from is the merchant of record: it processes the payment, and we never see or handle your payment details.

• Payment: Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google account at confirmation of purchase
• Auto-Renewal: Your subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period
• Renewal Charge: Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, at the price of the subscription you selected
• Turning Off Auto-Renewal: You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal at any time after purchase in the store you bought it from

Premium Follows Your Qiyam Account

Qiyam Premium belongs to the Qiyam account you were signed in to when you subscribed. Sign in to that account on any iPhone or Android phone and Premium is there, whichever store you bought it from.

• One subscription, one account: a subscription is linked to one Qiyam account and stays with it. It cannot be moved to another Qiyam account
• Subscriptions bought before October 2026: an iPhone subscription bought before Premium moved to the account is linked to the first Qiyam account it is used with in the updated app, and stays with that account
• If Premium is not showing, make sure you are signed in to the right Qiyam account, then use "Restore Purchases" in the App

Managing Your Subscription

You manage and cancel your subscription in the store you bought it from, on a phone signed in to the Apple ID or Google account that bought it.

Bought on iPhone (App Store):

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone
2. Tap your name at the top
3. Tap "Subscriptions"
4. Select Qiyam from the list
5. Tap "Cancel Subscription"

Bought on Android (Google Play):

1. Open the Google Play Store app
2. Tap your profile picture, then "Payments & subscriptions"
3. Tap "Subscriptions" and select Qiyam
4. Tap "Cancel subscription"

If you cancel your subscription, you will retain access to Premium features until the end of your current billing period. No partial refunds are provided for unused time within a billing period.

If Your Subscription Ends

If your subscription is cancelled, lapses, or fails to renew, your memorization data is not affected in any way. Your memorized verses, progress, review schedule, spaced repetition history, and statistics all remain intact and fully accessible, and the free App continues to work exactly as before.

Only the Premium features become locked. If you subscribe again later, access to Premium features is restored immediately. Nothing is deleted or lost in the meantime.

Refund Policy

All subscription purchases are subject to Apple's standard refund policy for purchases made on iPhone, and to Google Play's refund policy for purchases made on Android. Cancellation, billing, and refunds are handled entirely by the store. We do not process payments and cannot issue refunds directly.

For a purchase made on iPhone, request a refund from Apple through:

• The Apple Support website or app
• Your purchase history in the App Store
• reportaproblem.apple.com

For a purchase made on Android, request a refund from Google through your order history in Google Play (play.google.com, then Payments & subscriptions, then Budget & order history).

The store determines refund eligibility based on its policies. We cannot guarantee that a refund request will be approved. A refunded subscription stops giving Premium.

Price Changes

We reserve the right to change our subscription prices at any time. Price changes will be communicated to you at least 30 days before they take effect.

• For New Subscribers: New prices apply immediately upon announcement
• For Existing Subscribers: Price changes apply at your next renewal after the notice period
• You may cancel your subscription before the new price takes effect if you do not agree to the price increase

Store Terms Apply

Purchases made on iPhone are subject to Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA) and App Store terms. Purchases made on Android are subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the store's terms, the store's terms shall prevail with respect to payment processing and subscription management.

Privacy

For details on what information we collect in connection with subscriptions and how we handle it, please see our Privacy Policy.

• The App is a memorization aid only and does not provide religious instruction, interpretation (tafsir), or spiritual guidance
• We are not responsible for any religious rulings, interpretations, or decisions made based on use of the App
• The spaced repetition algorithm is a scientific learning tool and is not based on any particular Islamic methodology or school of thought

Third-Party Services

The App relies on third-party services (Al Quran Cloud API, Supabase, Apple and Google services). We are not responsible for:

• Interruptions, errors, or changes in third-party services
• Third-party privacy practices or data handling
• The accuracy of data provided by third-party services

Disclaimer of Warranties

We disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. You may have other legal rights that vary by jurisdiction.

Exclusion of Damages

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Amine Benlaroui, Qiyam, or our affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to:

This exclusion applies regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) and even if we were advised of the possibility of such damages.

Liability Cap

Our total liability to you for all claims arising from or related to these Terms or your use of the App shall not exceed the greater of:

• The total amount you paid for Qiyam Premium (through the App Store or Google Play) in the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to liability, or
• CHF 100 (one hundred Swiss Francs)

Specific Limitations

We are specifically not liable for:

• Data Loss: Loss of memorization data, though we make reasonable efforts to provide automatic backups

• Device Issues: Device malfunction, incompatibility, or data loss on your phone

Jurisdictional Limitations

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under Swiss law.

Allocation of Risk

You acknowledge that the limitations of liability in this section are a fundamental element of the basis of the bargain between you and us. We would not be able to provide the Service on an economically reasonable basis without these limitations.

Termination by You

You may terminate your account and stop using the App at any time by:

• Canceling your subscription in the store you bought it from (see Subscription section)
• Deleting your account in the App: Settings, then Delete Account
• Requesting account deletion by emailing contact@qiyamapp.com with "Delete My Account" in the subject line
• Deleting the App from your device

If you delete your account, you will lose access to all your memorization data and progress. We recommend exporting your data before deletion if you wish to keep a copy.

Termination by Us

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your account and access to the App immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including but not limited to:

• Breach of these Terms of Service
• Violation of applicable laws or regulations
• Fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity
• Unauthorized access or security violations
• Prolonged inactivity (we will provide notice before terminating for inactivity)
• At our sole discretion to protect our business interests or other users

Effect of Termination

Upon termination of your account (by you or by us):

• Immediate Access Loss: Your right to access and use the App will immediately cease
• Data Retention: Your data will be retained for 30 days and then permanently deleted, as described in our Privacy Policy
• Subscription Status: Active subscriptions are managed by Apple. Deleting or terminating your Qiyam account does not cancel a Qiyam Premium subscription, and does not entitle you to a refund. You must cancel it separately in your App Store account settings, or it will continue to renew
• No Refunds: We do not provide refunds for unused subscription time if your account is terminated for Terms violations
• Data Export: You may request a data export before account deletion by contacting us

Survival of Terms

The following sections shall survive termination of these Terms and continue to apply: Intellectual Property, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive.

We reserve the right to modify, update, or replace these Terms at any time at our sole discretion. Changes may be made to:

• Reflect changes in our Service or business practices
• Comply with legal or regulatory requirements
