Noorani Browser ("Noorani") is a product of Ataraxy Developers ("we," "us"), registered in Islamabad, Pakistan. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Noorani and the nooranibrowser.com website ("Site"). By using either, you agree to these Terms.
1. Acceptance
If you install Noorani or use the Site, these Terms apply to you. If you don't agree, don't use them. These Terms form a binding agreement between you and Ataraxy Developers.
2. License grant
We grant you a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use Noorani on as many devices as you personally own, for any lawful purpose. You may also use Noorani in a commercial environment without additional licensing.
3. Open source
Noorani is open source. Parts of Noorani are governed by their respective open-source licenses — most prominently the BSD license for Chromium components. Our own additions are published under a permissive license (see the open source page). Nothing in these Terms overrides the open-source license of any component that grants you broader rights.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to use Noorani to:
- Break the law in your jurisdiction or in any jurisdiction where your use has effects;
- Attack, reverse-engineer for malicious purposes, or disrupt systems you don't own or have permission to test;
- Impersonate others, defraud, or deceive;
- Distribute modified copies of Noorani that remove our safety-relevant defaults (tracker blocking, crash-report consent) and ship them as if they were our official release.
Forking, modifying, and redistributing Noorani for lawful purposes under its open-source license is expressly permitted. Just don't pass your fork off as ours.
5. Intellectual property
The Noorani name, the Noorani mark (the eight-point star), the wordmark, and associated design assets are the intellectual property of Ataraxy Developers. Use them in a way that could confuse users about origin or endorsement is not permitted. Fair editorial and journalistic use is welcome — see our brand guidelines.
Source code is licensed as described in the open source page.
6. Third-party content
Noorani renders the open web. The content of the websites you visit is not ours, and we make no representation about it. Bundled Quran translations, reciters, and libraries are used under their respective licenses; attribution is in the browser's About dialog.
7. Disclaimers
Noorani is provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We don't warrant that Noorani will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure against every possible attack, or fit for any particular purpose.
Prayer times are computed with best-effort astronomical algorithms but are not a substitute for the authority of your local mosque or scholar. Qibla calculations are reference bearings; use a calibrated compass or a device with a magnetometer for directional certainty.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ataraxy Developers is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages arising from or related to your use of Noorani. Our aggregate liability under these Terms is limited to the amount you paid for Noorani in the twelve months preceding the claim — which, because Noorani is free, is zero.
Some jurisdictions don't allow limitations on implied warranties or incidental damages; in those places, the above limitations apply to the extent permitted by law and not further.
9. Termination
You can terminate this agreement at any time by uninstalling Noorani and leaving the Site. We may terminate your right to use Noorani if you materially breach these Terms; in practice this is limited to the scenarios in §4 (acceptable use).
10. Changes to terms
We may update these Terms. Material changes are announced in the release notes for the version that introduced them. The "Effective" date is updated whenever the text changes. Continued use after an update means you accept the updated Terms.
11. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Where mandatory consumer-protection law in your jurisdiction grants you stronger rights, those rights apply.
12. Disputes
We'd rather talk than litigate. Before starting any formal proceeding, email nooranibrowser@gmail.com with a description of the dispute and what you'd like to see. If we can't resolve it within 60 days, either side may take it to a court of competent jurisdiction in Islamabad, Pakistan.
