Terms of Use — Shaikhy App

EDUBAB · Last updated 2026-11-07

1. Seller and service provider

Shaikhy is provided, and its subscription is sold, by EDUBAB, Jerusalem; some of our pages also refer to us as Motqen Academy. "We" and "us" in these terms mean EDUBAB. Contact: [email protected].

2. The service

Shaikhy is a training aid that listens to your recitation and suggests notes using AI. Notes are automated and may be wrong; they do not replace learning from a qualified teacher and are not an ijazah or certificate. Recitation analysis is in the Shaikhy app for Android and iPhone; the website offers the mushaf, listening to reciters, your history and your account.

3. Your account

• Sign in with a code sent to your e-mail, a password, or your Google account. You are responsible for your mailbox and for everything done from your account.
• You may create your own account from age 13 (or the age of digital consent in your country, if higher); younger learners use a parent's account or a seat in their teacher's class.
• One account per person; creating several accounts to repeat the free trial is not allowed.
• An account works in the app on one device at a time. Opening it on another device requires moving it there with a code sent to your e-mail, which stops it on the previous device. In a web browser you keep the mushaf, listening and your history.
• Class seats are created by the teacher, who is responsible for handing them out and for their use by students.

4. Free trial and subscription

• One free trial: analysis of the first three verses of Surah Ash-Sharh, once per account and per device (it counts when a recognized result is shown; a failed attempt does not count). After that a subscription is required for analysis.
• Monthly subscription: USD 15 per month, including sales tax or VAT where it applies; the full amount is shown before you pay, and Paddle may show it in your local currency converted from the same price. In the app stores the price is shown in your local currency as set by the store; the price shown at purchase applies.
• It renews automatically every month until you cancel it, and your payment method is charged at each renewal.
• The subscription includes analysis of everything you recite with no daily limit. Fair-use limits that protect the service from abuse (such as the number of analyses within a few minutes) still apply.
• In-app purchases: in the Android app installed from Google Play through Google Play, and in the iPhone app through the App Store, under the store's terms.
• Purchases on the website (including the Android app downloaded from our website, which opens the purchase in your browser): our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all website orders: it sells you the subscription, takes the payment, issues the receipt, handles sales tax, and handles refund and billing requests. These orders are also governed by Paddle's buyer terms. Payment methods (card, PayPal and others depending on your country) are shown in Paddle's checkout, and their details never reach us.
• Cancel at any time: a website subscription from the account page on the website ("Manage subscription") or at paddle.net using the link in your receipt; a Google Play subscription under "Payments & subscriptions" in the Google Play app; an App Store subscription in your device Settings › your name › Subscriptions (cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date for it to stop). The subscription stays active until the end of the paid period and then does not renew.
• Price changes are announced in advance (in the stores, under their rules) and apply only to later renewals.
• Minute packs are no longer sold; minutes or periods we granted earlier (a gift or a class seat) remain until they expire.

5. Refunds

Website orders (Paddle): you may request a refund of any payment within 14 days of the charge; we refund it in full through Paddle and the subscription ends for that period. Google Play purchases: under Google Play's procedures, and if you write to us within 14 days we refund through Google Play where it allows us to. App Store purchases: only Apple can refund them, under Apple's policy; we cannot refund them ourselves. Details are in the Refund Policy. If we cannot provide the service because of an outage longer than three consecutive days, we compensate the time or refund pro rata if you write to us within 14 days.

6. Acceptable use

The service is for reciting the Holy Quran. Abusing the server (automated requests, intrusion attempts, bypassing limits), circumventing the one-device rule or the free trial, reselling the service or sharing an account are not allowed. We may suspend accounts that break these terms.

7. Content and rights

The Quran text, fonts, recitations and the AI model belong to their owners under the licenses listed in Sources. The software and the “Shaikhy” brand belong to EDUBAB.

8. Privacy

See the Privacy Policy. In short: the app does not upload your voice recording or store it on our servers; it sends only what is needed to compute the result.

9. Account deletion and termination

• Delete your account yourself from the account page in the app or on the website, or from the account deletion page. Deletion is final, and any remaining paid time or minutes are forfeited; you can still ask for a refund under the Refund Policy.
• When you delete the account, a website (Paddle) subscription is cancelled immediately, and we cancel Google Play renewal when we are able to; an App Store subscription must be cancelled by you in your device settings, as deleting the account does not stop it.
• We may discontinue or change the service with advance notice on the website, and refund pro rata any period paid for and not provided.

10. iPhone app

Use of the iPhone app is also governed by Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (standard EULA), in addition to these terms. Apple is not a party to these terms and is not responsible for the app, its support or maintenance.

11. Limitation of liability

The service is provided as is; we do not guarantee it is error-free or uninterrupted, and we are not liable for indirect damages. Our maximum liability is what you paid in the last month, to the extent permitted by law. Nothing in these terms limits consumer rights that cannot be waived under the law of your country.

12. Changes

We may change these terms with notice on the website and in the service, with the update date; continuing to use the service afterwards means you accept them. A price change applies only to later renewals.
