Terms

The terms, in brief.

By downloading or using Mukabele you agree to these terms. Apple’s standard end user licence agreement applies as well.

Effective date:

Parties and scope

These terms govern your use of the Mukabele iOS app, the mukabele.metehanbicer.com pages where khatms open, and the Mukabele pages on metehanbicer.com, provided by Metehan Biçer, an independent developer based in Türkiye (“the developer”). Because you get the app from the App Store, Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA) also applies. These terms add to the EULA; where they conflict, the EULA prevails.

The content and conduct rules also apply to participants who open a khatm in a browser to take a juz and add their name.

Licence

I grant you a non-transferable, non-exclusive licence to use Mukabele on Apple devices you own or control, for personal, non-commercial purposes, within the App Store Usage Rules. Copying, modifying, reverse engineering or redistributing the app is not allowed, except where the law expressly permits it. The app, its icons, images and texts belong to the developer.

A free service

Mukabele is free. There are no ads, subscriptions or in-app purchases. Nothing is bought or paid for through Mukabele, and no payments or donations are collected.

Quran text and translations

The Quran text is the Uthmani text from Tanzil.net. The English translation is by Marmaduke Pickthall, the Turkish translation by Elmalılı Hamdi Yazır. I take care to reproduce the texts faithfully; if you find a typo or an error, write to me and I will fix it. A translation is an attempt to convey the meaning of the Arabic and does not replace it. Mukabele shows who has read which juz based on the participants’ own marks; it does not verify the reading itself.

What the organiser is responsible for

The organiser of a khatm is responsible for its name and intention, for changes they make such as freeing a juz or marking it read, and for the people they share the link with. If you write someone else’s name in the intention, such as a loved one who passed, make sure their family would be comfortable with it. Anyone who knows the link can see the khatm and the readers’ names, so share it only with the people you want to join.

What you write in a khatm

Khatm names, intentions and reader names are the content of whoever wrote them, and they are responsible for it. People with the link can see this content, so you agree not to add:

  • Text or links promoting illegal goods, content or services.
  • Offensive, hateful, harassing, sexually explicit or violent content, or language that demeans any religion, belief or person.
  • Other people’s personal information without their permission.
  • Scams, spam, calls for donations or money, or content meant to mislead people.

You let me use your content only to provide the service, that is, to store the khatm and show it to people who open its link as described in the privacy policy. Your rights in your content stay with you.

Reports and removing khatms

Anyone can report a khatm from the app (the … menu) or at the bottom of its web page. I review reports myself and act on them within 24 hours. I remove a khatm that I find breaks the law or these terms, together with its names and juz records, without notice. I may block use that breaks these terms again and again.

Your khatms and your device

Mukabele has no accounts; the khatms you start and the juz you take are tied to your device by a key stored on it. If you lose or reset your device, you may lose the ability to manage your khatms and mark your juz; the khatm’s organiser can then free your juz or mark it read for you. Details are in the privacy policy.

Warranty

Mukabele is provided “as is” and “as available”. I cannot guarantee that the app or the khatm server will run without interruption or errors, or that your data will never be lost. I may change the service, or end it after announcing it a reasonable time in advance. Rights the law grants you that cannot be limited are not affected.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, the developer is not liable for indirect damages or data loss arising from using or being unable to use Mukabele, from a khatm not being completed on time, or from content added by users. This does not affect liability for intent or gross negligence, or your rights under consumer protection law.

Changes

I may update these terms. I will publish changes on this page and update the effective date. If a change is significant, I will also point it out in the app or on this site. Continuing to use Mukabele after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. Turkish courts and enforcement offices have jurisdiction over disputes; consumers may also apply to consumer arbitration committees and consumer courts within the legal limits. Mandatory consumer protection rules of the country where you live are not affected.
