Terms of Service

Acceptance of these terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement governing your use of SalahSync, a web application operated by Simple Cortex ("Simple Cortex," "we," "us," or "our"), based in Virginia, USA, and available at app.salahsync.io. By creating an account or accessing or using SalahSync (the "Service"), you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you have not reached the age of legal majority where you live, you may use it only with permission from a parent or legal guardian. By permitting use, the parent or guardian agrees to these Terms on the minor's behalf and is responsible for the minor's use of the Service.

Your account

You sign in with a Google account. You are responsible for safeguarding that account, restricting access to your devices, all activity under your SalahSync account, and keeping information you provide accurate and current. You may not share, transfer, or allow another person to use your SalahSync account. Notify us promptly at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

Acceptable use

You may use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You may not attempt to bypass rate limits or security controls; gain unauthorized access; interfere with the Service or another user; introduce malware; scrape or automate access outside our published APIs; impersonate another person; use the Service to infringe rights or violate law; or reverse engineer or circumvent technical restrictions except to the limited extent applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction. You may not use the Service or its output to build or train a competing product or artificial intelligence model. We may investigate and suspend or terminate access for violations.

Prayer time accuracy

SalahSync provides informational scheduling assistance, not religious advice. Prayer times are estimates generated from third-party data or astronomical formulas using the location, calculation method, and settings you select. Local practices and conditions may differ. You are responsible for verifying times, including Fajr, Maghrib, and Jumu'ah, with a local mosque or trusted religious authority and for observing your prayers.

Calendar changes

When you authorize Google Calendar access, the Service creates, updates, and deletes prayer events it has scheduled. It is designed not to modify, move, or delete other calendar events. You remain responsible for reviewing calendar changes, maintaining backups where appropriate, and confirming that reminders and scheduling actions succeeded. Revoking Google access stops future calendar actions but does not remove events already created.

Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, text, and branding, is owned by Simple Cortex or its licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use. Except where law permits despite this restriction, you may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or create derivative works from any part of the Service without our written permission. These Terms grant no ownership rights, and we reserve all rights not expressly granted.

Third-party services

The Service depends on third-party services, including Google and Lemon Squeezy. Your use of a third-party service may be governed by that provider's terms and privacy policy. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party services. Their outages, suspension of your account, or changes to their products or APIs may degrade or disable Service features. References or links to third parties are not endorsements.

Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT AND OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." SIMPLE CORTEX DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE ACCURATE, SECURE, UNINTERRUPTED, OR ERROR-FREE; THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED; OR THAT A REMINDER, CALENDAR ACTION, OR THIRD-PARTY INTEGRATION WILL SUCCEED. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS, SO SOME OF THESE DISCLAIMERS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SIMPLE CORTEX AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, OR DATA; OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ADVISED THAT SUCH DAMAGES ARE POSSIBLE. THIS INCLUDES DAMAGES ASSOCIATED WITH A MISSED PRAYER OR REMINDER, AN INACCURATE PRAYER TIME, A SCHEDULING ERROR, LOST DATA, OR A THIRD-PARTY SERVICE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF SIMPLE CORTEX AND THE PARTIES LISTED ABOVE FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY OR (B) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS ($50). THESE LIMITS APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND ARE AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE AGREEMENT. THEY DO NOT LIMIT LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE LIMITED, INCLUDING LIABILITY FOR A PARTY'S FRAUD, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT TO THE EXTENT VIRGINIA LAW PROHIBITS THAT LIMITATION. YOUR STATUTORY CONSUMER RIGHTS REMAIN UNAFFECTED.

Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Simple Cortex and its owners, officers, employees, and agents from third-party claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, and reasonable attorneys' fees arising from your unlawful misuse of the Service, material violation of these Terms, or infringement of another person's rights. We will promptly notify you of a covered claim and reasonably cooperate at your expense. You may not settle a claim in a way that admits fault by or imposes obligations on an indemnified party without our written consent. This section does not require you to indemnify anyone for that party's own fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.

Termination

You may stop using the Service, cancel a paid subscription, and delete your account at any time from the Account & Data section. Account deletion does not itself cancel or refund a charge already incurred and does not remove events already created in Google Calendar. We may suspend or terminate access if you materially violate these Terms, create security or legal risk, misuse the Service, or abuse our APIs. Where reasonable, we will give notice and an opportunity to cure, but we may act immediately to protect the Service, users, or others. Data deletion is handled as described in our Privacy Policy.

Dispute resolution and governing law

Before filing a lawsuit, the party raising a dispute must send the other party a written notice describing the dispute and requested relief. You may send notice to [email protected]; we may send notice to your account email. The parties will try in good faith to resolve the dispute for 30 days after receipt. Either party may seek urgent injunctive relief before that period ends when necessary to prevent immediate harm.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. Subject to any non-waivable consumer right to bring a claim elsewhere, a dispute not resolved informally must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and each party consents to those courts' personal jurisdiction and venue.

Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. We will post the revised Terms and update the effective date. For material changes, we will provide reasonable advance notice by email or in the Service unless law requires a different method. Changes apply prospectively from their effective date. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service and cancel any subscription before the change takes effect. Continued use after that date means you accept the revised Terms to the extent permitted by law.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.

Entire agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, and any terms presented at checkout constitute the entire agreement between you and Simple Cortex regarding the Service and supersede prior agreements on that subject. If checkout terms conflict with these Terms, the checkout terms control only for the purchase they address.

Other legal terms

You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, reorganization, sale of assets, or by operation of law. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. Section headings are for convenience only. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination—including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, dispute terms, and this section—will survive. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, except that this sentence does not excuse payment obligations already due.
