Terms of Use

Effective date:

These terms are the agreement between you and Barakit when you use our apps and this website. We kept them short and plain. They say what you can expect from us, what we ask of you, and how purchases work.

Who these terms cover

Barakit LLC is an independent studio based in New York. In these terms, “Barakit”, “we” and “us” mean Barakit LLC, and “you” means anyone who uses our apps or this website. The terms cover Hifzit, Nofont, HardPass, and the Barakit website. Each app has its own section below for what applies only to it.

By using one of our apps or this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use them. If you are under the age of majority where you live, a parent or guardian should read and agree to them for you.

How we handle your information is explained in our Privacy Policy.

Hifzit

Hifzit is a Quran memorization app for iPhone, iPad, and Android. It helps you memorize and review on a daily schedule. It supports your hifz, alongside a teacher where you have one, and does not replace one.

The Quran text

The Quran text in Hifzit comes from the Quranic Universal Library (QUL) and Tanzil. Hifzit shows it as they publish it, without changing it. If you ever see a mistake, please tell us straight away through Barakit Support.

Recitation checking

Hifzit can listen to your recitation on your device and point out words it thinks you missed or changed. It is an aid, and it can make mistakes: it may miss a slip, or mark a word you recited correctly. It is not a substitute for a qualified teacher. Please confirm your recitation with one.

Prayer times and the qibla

Prayer times and the qibla direction are calculated on your device, from your location and the calculation method you choose. They can differ from your local mosque. Check them against local announcements, especially for fasting and the start of each prayer.

What Hifzit counts

Hifzit counts what you practise, such as ayat reviewed and letters recited. It never claims or counts reward for any deed.

Your account

You do not need an account to use Hifzit. If you sign in, Hifzit backs up your progress and settings and keeps them in step across your devices. You can export your data, sign out, or delete your account at any time in Profile, under Back up and sync. Our Privacy Policy explains how to delete your Hifzit account, with or without the app.

Hifzit Premium

Learning, reviewing, and recitation checking are free. Hifzit Premium is an optional auto-renewing subscription that adds extra features, such as deeper insight into your progress and more designs for ayah cards.

In the United States, Premium costs $2.99 a month or $19.99 a year. Prices in other countries and regions are set for that region, and the app shows yours before you buy. There is no free trial.

Premium is bought, billed, renewed, cancelled, and refunded through Apple’s App Store or Google Play, under that store’s rules. The store takes payment when you confirm. Your subscription renews at the end of each period unless you cancel it in your store account’s subscription settings before then. If you cancel, Premium stays on until the end of the period you paid for. Deleting the app or your account does not cancel a subscription. Refunds are requested from the store and decided under its policies.

If you sign in, Premium can follow your account to your other devices, including on the other platform. A subscription is linked to one account at a time. If you sign in to a different account on a device with the subscription, it moves to that account.

When Premium ends, its features stop. Your progress and everything in the free app stay as they are.

Barakit gives a portion of Hifzit’s revenue to charity. Buying Premium is a purchase, not a donation.

Nofont

Nofont turns typed words into handwriting on paper, on iPhone and iPad. It is still in development. This section describes how it works today, and we will update it before release.

Your writing and your handwriting

What you write in Nofont, and any handwriting font you make from your own writing, belong to you. Do not use Nofont to forge a signature or someone else’s handwriting, or to deceive anyone about who wrote something.

Nofont Plus

Writing, unlimited pages, exporting, and printing are free. Nofont Plus is optional. It adds more handwritings, papers, and pens, your own handwriting without limits, higher-resolution export, cloud sync, and more. It is offered as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or as a one-time Lifetime purchase.

The monthly and yearly plans may start with a free trial. The app shows the trial’s length, and the price for your region, before you buy. You are charged when the trial ends unless you cancel before then.

Nofont Plus is bought, billed, renewed, cancelled, and refunded through Apple’s App Store, under its rules. Lifetime means for the life of Nofont: for as long as we offer the app. If Plus ends, cloud sync pauses. Nothing on your device or in your cloud copy is deleted, and your notes stay editable.

Accounts and invites

Accounts are optional. You can delete yours, with its cloud copies, in Settings, under Account. If invites are offered, bonus days of Plus have no cash value, cannot be sold or transferred, and may change or end. We may remove bonuses gained by abuse.

HardPass

HardPass helps you review and clear out photos and videos on iPhone and iPad. It is still in development. This section describes how it works today, and we will update it before release.

You decide what is deleted

HardPass suggests, and you decide. Nothing is deleted until you select it and confirm. Your device may keep deleted items in its recently deleted album for a while. Once they are gone from there, we cannot recover them. Please keep a backup of anything you cannot replace.

Sizes and possible savings are shown as HardPass measures them. They are not a promise of how much space your device will free.

HardPass Plus

Scanning, reviewing, and keeping are free, and you can remove a set amount of media for free, shown in the app. HardPass Plus removes that limit and adds extras. It is offered as a yearly auto-renewing subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase. There is no free trial. The app shows the price for your region before you buy.

HardPass Plus is bought, billed, renewed, cancelled, and refunded through Apple’s App Store, under its rules. Lifetime means for the life of HardPass: for as long as we offer the app.

Invites

Invite bonuses add to your free allowance. They have no cash value, cannot be sold or transferred, and may change or end. We may remove bonuses gained by abuse.

Using our apps

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use our apps on devices you own or control, for your own use, under these terms and the rules of the store you got them from. Apps from Apple’s App Store are also covered by Apple’s standard licence agreement for apps. Apps from Google Play are also covered by Google Play’s terms.

Please do not use our apps or website to break the law, or help anyone else do so. Do not copy, sell, or redistribute our apps or their content, except as the apps let you share. Do not try to get around purchases, limits, or security, or reverse engineer our apps, except where the law allows it. Do not overload or interfere with our services, use them with automated tools, or use someone else’s account. Do not send us anything harmful through the contact form.

Accounts

Accounts are optional in every app. If you create one, keep your sign-in details and devices secure. You are responsible for what happens under your account. If you think someone else has used it, tell us through Barakit Support.

Purchases and subscriptions

Paid plans are sold through your app store. The store takes payment, applies tax, and handles renewals, cancellations, and refunds, and its terms apply to the purchase. We never see your payment details.

A subscription renews automatically until you cancel it in your store account’s subscription settings. Cancelling stops the next renewal, and you keep the paid features until the end of the period you paid for. Deleting an app or an account does not cancel a subscription.

We may change prices. A new price applies to a subscription only from a later renewal, after the store has told you, under its rules. We may also add to or change what a paid plan includes. A Lifetime purchase lasts for as long as we offer that app.

Nothing in these terms limits refund or cancellation rights you have under the law where you live.

What is yours and what is ours

What you create in our apps, such as your progress, notes, handwriting, and settings, stays yours. If you choose to back it up or sync it, you let us store and copy it only to provide that feature to you.

Our apps and website, including their design, code, names, and logos, belong to Barakit LLC or its licensors. These terms do not give you any right to use our names or logos.

Some content in our apps belongs to others and is used under its own licence, such as the Quran text, translations, recitations, and fonts in Hifzit, and the handwriting fonts in Nofont. Hifzit lists these sources and their licences in Settings, under Acknowledgements.

If you send us feedback or ideas, we may use them to improve our apps, with no obligation to you.

Disclaimers

We work hard to make our apps accurate and reliable. We cannot promise they will always be available, free of errors, or right for your needs. Our apps are tools. They are not religious rulings, professional advice, or a guarantee of results.

To the extent the law allows, our apps and website are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Some places do not allow these exclusions, so some may not apply to you.

Our liability

To the extent the law allows, Barakit is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of our apps or website. This includes photos and videos you choose to delete.

To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim about our apps or website is limited to the greater of what you paid for the app or plan involved in the 12 months before the claim, or US$50.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited, such as for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

Ending these terms

You can stop using our apps at any time. Delete an app to remove it, and delete any account as that app explains.

We may suspend or end your access to an account, an online feature, or a reward if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, or if the law requires it. Where we can, we will tell you first. If we stop offering an online feature, such as sync, we will give reasonable notice where we can.

The parts of these terms that should last by their nature, such as ownership, disclaimers, our liability, and governing law, continue after they end.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms when our apps, the law, or our practices change. The current version and its effective date are always at this address. If a change is significant, we will tell you in the app or on this site before it takes effect. If you keep using our apps after that, the updated terms apply.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that cannot be settled informally will be heard in the state or federal courts located in New York, and you and we agree to their jurisdiction. If you live outside the United States, you keep the protection the consumer laws of your country give you, and you may also be able to bring a claim in your local courts.

If any part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest still applies. If we do not enforce a part straight away, we can still enforce it later. These terms, with our Privacy Policy and any store terms that apply, are the whole agreement between you and us about our apps and website.
