Effective: 18 July 2026 · Last updated: 18 July 2026
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Qafilah Inc. governing your
use of the Qafilah mobile app and related services. Please read them carefully. By downloading or using
Qafilah, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy.
1Acceptance of these terms
By creating an account, downloading, or using Qafilah, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
2Who we are
Qafilah is operated by Qafilah Inc., a Delaware corporation. In these Terms, "Qafilah," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Qafilah Inc.
3Eligibility & age
You must be at least 13 years old to create your own account.
Qafilah Kids is intended for children and must be set up and supervised by a parent or legal guardian, who accepts these Terms on the child's behalf and is responsible for the child's use.
If you use the app on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you are authorised to accept these Terms for it.
4Your account
You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for activity under your account. Provide accurate information, keep it up to date, and tell us promptly of any unauthorised use. You may delete your account at any time (see our Privacy Policy).
5Subscriptions, billing & auto-renewal
Core worship features are free. Qafilah also offers optional paid subscriptions (for example, Plus, Kids, and Family).
Where you pay: subscriptions are sold and billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, and are subject to their terms. Prices are shown in the app before purchase.
Auto-renewal: subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of the current period.
Managing & cancelling: manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple or Google account settings. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
Free trials: if offered, any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
Refunds: refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies; we generally cannot issue them directly.
Price changes: we may change subscription prices; changes apply to future billing periods and, where required, only after notice and your consent.
6Your licence to use the app
We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use Qafilah for your own personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.
7Acceptable use
You agree not to:
Break the law or infringe others' rights while using the app;
Copy, modify, reverse-engineer, resell, or create derivative works from the app except as permitted by law;
Interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the app or its systems;
Use the app to harass, harm, or deceive others, or to upload unlawful, hateful, or infringing content;
Use automated means to scrape or overload the service.
8Your content
You keep ownership of the content you create in the app (journals, reflections, family and Kids entries, parent-recorded audio, and similar). Most of this stays on your device. You grant us only the limited licence needed to operate features you use (for example, to sync hybrid or family features across your devices). You are responsible for your content and confirm you have the right to use it.
9Religious content — important
Qafilah is a guide, not a mufti. The Islamic content in the app is provided for general educational and informational purposes. While we work with qualified scholars to review content, it is not a fatwa and is not a substitute for a qualified local scholar who knows your specific circumstances.
Muslims follow different schools of thought (madhāhib) and there are legitimate differences of scholarly opinion. For personal religious rulings and important decisions, please consult a qualified scholar. You are responsible for your own religious practice, and Qafilah is not liable for decisions you make based on content in the app.
10AI features
Some features use artificial intelligence to generate responses. AI output is produced by software, can be inaccurate or incomplete, and does not represent a scholarly ruling. Do not rely on AI responses for important religious, medical, legal, or financial decisions — verify with a qualified person. See how we handle AI data in our Privacy Policy.
11No professional advice
Qafilah does not provide medical, mental-health, legal, tax, or financial advice. Wellbeing features (such as Sister Sanctuary and Soul Space) are for general support and are not medical advice or a medical device. Tools such as the zakat calculator are for convenience and are not tax or financial advice. Always consult an appropriate professional for your situation.
12Intellectual property
The app, its design, brand, logos ("Qafilah"), text, graphics, and software are owned by Qafilah Inc. or our licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Some content and components are provided by third parties under their own licences. You may not use our marks or content without permission, except as allowed by these Terms.
13Third-party services
The app relies on and links to third-party services (such as the Apple App Store, Google Play, our cloud, AI, and donation providers). Your use of those services is governed by their terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for them. Charitable donations you make are processed by third-party providers, not by us.
14Disclaimers of warranties
The app is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that content (including prayer times, Qibla direction, and religious information) is complete or accurate. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so some may not apply to you.
15Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Qafilah Inc. and its officers, directors, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, goodwill, or profits, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the app. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the app will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or US $50.
16Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Qafilah Inc. from claims, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the app, your content, or your violation of these Terms or the rights of others.
17Termination
You may stop using the app and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or if necessary to protect the service or other users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (such as intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will survive.
18Changes to the app & terms
We may update the app and these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes to the Terms, we will update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Your continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
19Governing law & disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Before starting any formal dispute, please contact us so we can try to resolve it informally. Any dispute that cannot be resolved will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware, unless applicable law gives you the right to bring a claim elsewhere.
20General
Entire agreement: these Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the app.
Severability: if any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
No waiver: our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
Assignment: you may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale.
Apple/Google terms: where the app is obtained through an app store, that store's terms also apply, and the store is not responsible for the app.
