“Platform” means all software provided here: the public website, the pages of the listed mosques, the administration area, the TV display, the mobile app and the public API.

“Developer” means the author and creator of this software. “Operator” means the mosque community, association or person running an installation of the platform and answering for its content. “Mosque administrator” means anyone maintaining a listed mosque's content in the administration area. “Users” are all those who use the website, the app or the API.

These terms are general terms and conditions within the meaning of §§ 305 et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB). They govern a free-of-charge use relationship; they establish no claim to a paid service, to provision, or to support.

There is no contractual relationship between users and the developer. The liability provisions of Section 14 apply for the benefit of the developer as a contract for the benefit of a third party (§ 328 BGB); apart from that, any liability of the developer follows the statutory rules. The point of contact for everything shown is the respective operator.

References to a section without a statute abbreviation — for example “Section 14” — refer to these terms; references carrying one — for example “§ 5 DDG” — refer to that statute.

Depending on the operator's configuration, the platform may display in particular:

The platform is provided free of charge. No particular condition — in particular availability, freedom from errors, timeliness, accuracy, completeness or fitness for a particular purpose — is agreed or assured. Guarantees are given only where they are expressly designated as a guarantee.

For defects, the statutory rules on gratuitous provision apply accordingly (§§ 521, 523, 524 BGB, §§ 599, 600 BGB): the developer is liable for intent and gross negligence and for fraudulently concealed defects. Beyond that, Section 14 applies.

Outages, maintenance work, incorrect displays and interruptions may occur at any time. There is no claim to particular uptime or response times, to maintenance, further development, support, to a particular feature or to the continued existence of the platform (Section 18).

Prayer times are calculated astronomically or obtained from a third-party service and adjusted with the values chosen by the operator (calculation method, angles, Asr method, corrections, iqamah times). They are approximations and may differ from the actual times at your mosque.

The times shown, the qibla compass — whose accuracy depends on your device's sensors, calibration and surroundings —, Hijri dates, adhkār, translations and source references are not religious rulings (fatwa). For prayer, fasting and the direction of prayer, rely on your local mosque.

Agreement between the calculated values and the times and details of your mosque is not owed. Liability for disadvantages arising from reliance on this information — such as prayers missed, performed too early or too late, a fast begun or broken at the wrong time, or a wrong direction of prayer — follows Section 14 exclusively.

News, events, courses, images, weekly programs, descriptions as well as contact and donation details are entered by the operators and mosque administrators themselves. For the developer these are third-party information within the meaning of §§ 7 to 10 of the German Digital Services Act (DDG) and Article 6 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act, DSA); the developer does not create, review, moderate, endorse or translate them and does not adopt them as their own.

There is no general obligation to monitor the content published or to actively investigate circumstances indicating unlawful activity (§ 7(2) DDG, Art. 8 DSA). The duty to remove or block content once knowledge is obtained remains unaffected.

Whoever published a piece of content is responsible for its accuracy, timeliness, lawfulness and appropriateness. This also applies to false, outdated, misleading, offensive, hateful, harmful-to-minors, rights-infringing or otherwise unlawful content, to uploaded images, and to linked or embedded external offerings.

Notices about illegal content (Art. 16 DSA) should be addressed to the operator of the mosque concerned; the contact details are on its page and in the imprint (§ 5 DDG). The operator reviews the notice and removes unlawful content without delay or blocks access to it.

Votes on events and registrations for courses are anonymous and require no account; they are counted per device. Duplicate, mistaken or joke entries cannot be ruled out technically. The results shown are non-binding and grant neither a place nor a promise of participation.

Push messages, adhan alerts and reminders are delivered through the services of device, browser and operating-system vendors. They may arrive late, more than once, silently or not at all — for instance because of battery-saving features, system settings, a missing network connection, a change of time zone or changes to the delivery services.

Delivery, its timeliness and its being sent only once are not owed; do not rely on notifications where timing matters. Section 14 applies to disadvantages arising from alerts that are not delivered, delivered late, duplicated or delivered incorrectly, and from adhan sounds played at the wrong time or not at all.

Donation and membership details (account holder, IBAN, BIC, bank, payment reference, QR code, PayPal link, fees) are entered by the operator and displayed unchanged. The developer is not a payment service provider within the meaning of the German Payment Services Supervision Act (ZAG), processes no payments, holds no funds and is not a party to any donation.

Verify the recipient and the payment reference with the mosque itself before every transfer. The accuracy of the payment details and the use made of donations are not owed; Section 14 applies to disadvantages arising from incorrect, outdated, manipulated or fraudulently entered payment details and from misdirected payments. Refunds, donation receipts and tax matters are exclusively for the operator.

The platform uses third-party services, among others for calculating prayer times, for maps and directions, for embedded widgets, for delivering notifications, for hosting and data storage, and for distributing the app through the app stores.

For linked and embedded third-party content, its respective provider is responsible; such content is not adopted as the platform's own (§§ 7 to 10 DDG). No infringements were apparent at the time of linking; once a legal violation becomes known, the link is removed without delay.

The developer has no influence on the availability, content, prices or conditions of these services; their terms of use and privacy policies apply in addition. Their availability and freedom from errors are not owed; Section 14 applies to disadvantages arising from their use.

Depending on the installation, content is stored in files or in a database; the app's settings are held on your device. Setting up, configuring, backing up and restoring the data is the operator's responsibility.

Regular backups and the permanent existence of entered content, uploaded images, poll results, registrations, subscriptions or settings are not owed. Data may be lost through errors, maintenance, caching, deletion, uninstalling the app, loss of a device or hosting problems. Back up important content regularly and appropriately outside the platform as well.

Section 14 applies to the loss of data; liability is additionally limited to the effort that would have been required to restore the data had it been backed up regularly and appropriately.

Freedom of the platform from security vulnerabilities is not owed. Access credentials, server configuration, encryption, access rights and applying updates to one's own installation are the operator's responsibility; the operator also takes the technical and organizational measures required by Art. 32 GDPR.

Do not enter confidential or particularly sensitive data into the platform — especially not in publicly visible fields, images or files. Section 14 applies to disadvantages arising from unauthorized access, from the leaking, publication or misuse of data, and from malware, tampering or attacks by third parties; the operator's notification duties under Art. 33, 34 GDPR remain unaffected.

Anyone using the platform or publishing content undertakes in particular:

Rights to published content remain with those entitled to them. Whoever publishes content grants the operator the non-exclusive right, unlimited in territory and for the duration of publication, to display it within the platform — on the website, in the app, on the TV display, in the printable flyer and through the public API.

The software itself, its source code and its design are protected by copyright and are made available on the terms agreed between the developer and the operator. Qur'an and hadith texts, adhkār and their translations are provided for edification; despite careful compilation, errors cannot be ruled out.

In the event of breaches of Section 12, the operator may remove content and block access; the operator states the reasons to the person concerned where Art. 17 DSA so requires.

(1) The developer is liable without limitation for damages arising from injury to life, body or health based on an intentional or negligent breach of duty, for other damages based on intent or gross negligence, in the case of fraudulent concealment of a defect, to the extent of an expressly assumed guarantee, and under the German Product Liability Act (ProdHaftG).

(2) The platform is provided free of charge. Beyond paragraph (1), liability is therefore limited to intent and gross negligence under §§ 521, 599 BGB, which apply accordingly.

(3) Where liability for simple negligence exceptionally remains, the developer is liable only for the breach of a material obligation whose fulfilment makes the proper use of the platform possible in the first place and on whose observance you may regularly rely; in that case liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical of this kind of provision.

(4) Liability for the loss of data is limited to the effort that would have been required to restore it had it been backed up regularly and appropriately (Section 10).

(5) The following are not owed and are therefore not subject to any liability of the developer:

(1) The limitations of liability in Section 14 also apply for the benefit of the developer's legal representatives, staff and agents, and to claims in tort, to the extent permitted by law.

(2) The above provisions do not entail any change of the burden of proof to your detriment.

(3) The operator's liability towards users follows the statutory rules; Section 14 does not limit it. The operator is liable in particular for the content that they and their mosque administrators publish and for the operation of their installation.

Operators and mosque administrators shall indemnify the developer against justified third-party claims arising from content they publish, from the operation of their installation or from a culpable breach of these terms; the indemnity covers the reasonable costs of legal defence. It does not apply to the extent that they are not responsible for the infringement.

The developer shall notify them of asserted claims without delay and shall make no admissions or settlements without their consent.

The controller within the meaning of Art. 4(7) GDPR for the processing of personal data on an installation is its operator, not the developer. The operator provides the information required by Art. 13, 14 GDPR in their privacy policy and keeps the details required by § 5 DDG in the imprint.

Assert your data subject rights (Art. 15 to 22 GDPR) and any questions about processing with the operator; the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR) remains unaffected.

The platform, individual mosque pages, languages or features may be changed, interrupted or discontinued permanently at any time. There is no claim to their continuation.

The version of these terms published on this page at the time of use applies; the date of the version in force is shown above the text. Consent to amended terms is not deemed given: anyone who does not agree with an amended version may stop using the platform at any time without consequence and unsubscribe from any notification subscriptions.

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, where the operator is established in Germany; otherwise the law of the state in which the operator is established applies. Mandatory consumer protection provisions of the state in which the user has their habitual residence remain unaffected under Art. 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 (Rome I).

If the user is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, or has no general place of jurisdiction in Germany, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this use relationship is the operator's seat (§ 38 ZPO). For consumers, the statutory places of jurisdiction apply.

The developer is neither obliged nor willing to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (§ 36(1) VSBG). Whether the operator takes part follows from their own statement.

Should any provision of these terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The invalid provision is replaced by the statutory rules (§ 306(2) BGB).

Please direct questions about these terms, notices about content and data protection matters to the mosque's contact details in the footer of this page and in the imprint.
