Terms of Use
Scroll the Quran: Word by Word Effective date: October 29, 2026 Developer: Ibrahim Hafeez ("we", "us") Contact: scrollthequranapp@gmail.com
By downloading or using Scroll the Quran (the "App"), you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the App.
1. The App
Scroll the Quran lets you listen to and read the Qur'an as short passages with translation, word-by-word meanings, tafsir and background visuals. The Qur'an text, recitation and translations are free. Scroll+ is an optional paid upgrade with additional learning tools.
2. Religious content
The Qur'an text, translations, word-by-word meanings, tafsir and recitations come from established sources (see section 7) and are provided as faithfully as we can. Translations and tafsir are human works that convey meaning; they are not the Qur'an itself.
The App is a tool for reading, listening and reflection. It doesn't issue religious rulings (fatwas). For questions of belief or practice, please consult qualified scholars.
The titles and short notes we write for curated passages are our own editorial descriptions. If you notice an error, please tell us at scrollthequranapp@gmail.com and we will review it promptly.
3. Your use of the App
You may use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes. You agree not to:
- copy, modify, resell or redistribute the App or its curated content outside the sharing features the App provides
- reverse-engineer the App or interfere with its operation or with the services it connects to
- use the App in a way that is unlawful or that disrespects the Qur'an or other users
Verse cards you share from the App may be shared freely for non-commercial, respectful purposes.
4. Scroll+ subscriptions and purchases
- Plans. Scroll+ is offered as a yearly subscription, a monthly subscription and a one-time lifetime purchase. Prices are shown in the App before you buy and may vary by country.
- Free trial. Where a free trial is offered, it is available once per account. If you don't cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, your subscription starts and your account is charged. If you buy a subscription during a trial, any unused part of the trial ends.
- Payment. Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google account when you confirm the purchase (or when the trial ends).
- Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the same price and length unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the period.
- Managing and cancelling. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your account settings: on iPhone, Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions; on Android, Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. Cancelling stops future renewals; you keep access until the end of the period you've paid for.
- Refunds. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their own policies. We can't issue refunds directly.
- Restoring purchases. You can restore Scroll+ on a new device with Restore purchases in the App, using the same Apple ID or Google account.
- Free access. We may give Scroll+ free of charge, for example a one-time free week through "Need complimentary access?". Free access can't be exchanged for money and may be time-limited.
- Changes. We may change Scroll+ features or prices. Price changes for existing subscribers follow Apple's and Google's rules and notice requirements.
5. Your account and content
You need an account to use the App, and you need to be at least 13 to create one, and you're responsible for what happens under it. Private notes, saves and progress belong to you; if you have an account we store a backup of them only so you can use them on another phone (see our Privacy Policy). You can delete your account at any time in the App (You → Delete account).
6. Comments, profiles and messages
You may post comments, set up a public profile, follow people and message friends. By doing so, you agree to the community guidelines shown in the App and to the following:
- Zero tolerance. There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. Don't post or send anything hateful, harassing, obscene, sectarian, or that accuses others of disbelief (takfir); don't misquote the Qur'an; don't issue religious rulings; don't impersonate anyone; and don't post links, contact details, advertising or spam. Profile names, usernames, photos and bios follow the same rules.
- Personal reflections only. Comments are personal and are not tafsir or fatwas. They don't represent our views.
- Moderation. Content may be filtered automatically, held for review, or removed, and accounts may be suspended, at our discretion. We act on reports, generally within 24 hours.
- Report and block. You can report any comment, message or person, and block anyone, from within the App. Blocking stops them following or messaging you.
- Messages. Only friends (people who follow each other) can message each other. Don't use messages to harass anyone or to share anything you wouldn't post publicly.
- Your rights in your content. You keep ownership of what you write and of your photo, and give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store and display it in the App. You can delete it at any time.
- Responsibility. You are responsible for what you post and send, and you confirm you have the right to post it.
7. Third-party services
The App relies on third-party services, including Quran Foundation (Quran.com) for Qur'an data, audio and tafsir, Pexels for background videos, Supabase for community reflections, RevenueCat for subscriptions, and Apple and Google for payments. Their own terms and privacy policies apply to their services, and we're not responsible for their availability.
8. Attributions and ownership
- Qur'an text, translations, word-by-word data, recitations and tafsir are provided via the Quran Foundation (Quran.com) API and remain the property of their respective authors, translators, reciters and publishers.
- Background videos are from Pexels and are used under the Pexels license.
- The App's design, code, curated collections and original text are owned by us.
9. Disclaimers
The App is provided "as is" and "as available". We work hard to keep it accurate and available, but we don't guarantee that it will always be error-free, uninterrupted or available offline. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we're not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from your use of the App. Our total liability for any claim relating to the App is limited to the amount you paid for Scroll+ in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, or your rights as a consumer.
11. Apple-specific terms
If you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple isn't responsible for the App or its content, has no obligation to provide maintenance or support, and isn't responsible for any product claims, intellectual property claims or warranty (other than refunding the purchase price where applicable). Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them. Your use of the App must also comply with Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula).
12. Ending your use
You can stop using the App at any time by deleting it. If you have a subscription, cancel it separately in your account settings (section 4). We may suspend or end access to the App if these Terms are seriously broken.
13. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. We'll change the effective date above and, for significant changes, let you know in the App. Continuing to use the App after changes means you accept them.
14. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. This doesn't remove any mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence.
