Quiet Rosary Terms of Use
These terms are an agreement between you and the developer named as the seller and trader on the app’s App Store and Google Play pages, email support@quietrosary.app (“we”, “us”). They govern your use of the Quiet Rosary app (the “App”). By downloading or using the App you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
1. What the App is
Quiet Rosary is a devotional aid for praying the Rosary and novenas.
- It is not an official publication of the Catholic Church or of any diocese, bishops’ conference or religious order, and it is not endorsed by them.
- Sources. The prayers and Scripture texts are traditional texts taken from historic printed sources, sometimes with small, recorded updates to today’s wording (for example “Holy Spirit” for “Holy Ghost”), plus short descriptions we write ourselves. Where we found no old printed translation, a text may be our own translation from the original, and its source line says so. The source of every text is listed in the App (Settings → About the texts). Readings may link to official websites.
- Accuracy. We take great care, but errors can happen. If you find one, please tell us (the “Report a problem with this text” link) and we will correct it.
- No advice. Nothing in the App is spiritual direction, medical, psychological or other professional advice.
2. Your licence
- The licence. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App for your own non-commercial purposes, on devices you own or control.
- Apple devices: also as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, including Family Sharing where it applies.
- Android devices: as permitted by the Google Play Terms of Service.
- Restrictions. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell or rent the App, or reverse-engineer it, except where the law allows this despite this restriction.
3. Free features
The complete Rosary, with all four sets of mysteries, the daily schedule and the bead-by-bead prayers, is free and will remain free.
In this version the following are also free:
- one daily Rosary reminder;
- the “Today’s Mystery” widget;
- the “this week” prayer overview;
- reading the description, dates and first day of every novena;
- one session of the Rosary on your Lock Screen (iPhone) or in your notifications (Android), so you can try it.
4. Quiet Rosary Plus
Plus adds convenience features. In this version they are:
- iPhone: praying the Rosary from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island (Live Activity), after the free session described in §3.
- Android: praying the Rosary from your notifications, after the free session described in §3.
- Both platforms:
- starting and tracking novenas, with every day’s prayers, catch-up and novena reminders;
- additional prayer reminders (such as the Angelus);
- the Liturgical Day, Novena Day and Prayer Rhythm widgets, and widget styles;
- prayer statistics.
The App shows the current list before you buy. Features depend on your device and operating-system version, and some require system permissions (for example notifications or Live Activities) that you can turn on or off in your device settings.
Plus is available as:
- an auto-renewing subscription (yearly, and monthly where offered), possibly with a free trial, or a free period from an offer or promo code, for eligible new subscribers; or
- a one-time “Lifetime” purchase.
Before you buy, the App shows the price in your local currency, including applicable taxes, and the billing period.
5. Payments, trials, renewals, cancellation and refunds
- Billing by the store. Purchases are made and billed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play), using the payment method of your store account. Their terms also apply to your purchase.
- Free trials and free periods. If you start a free trial, or a free period from an offer or promo code, it converts automatically into a paid subscription when it ends, at the price and period shown before you started, unless you cancel in time:
- Apple: at least 24 hours before it ends.
- Google Play: before it ends.
- Eligibility for trials and codes is decided by the store (usually once per account).
- Automatic renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period and price until you cancel:
- Apple: a renewal is charged unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- Google Play: a renewal is charged unless you cancel before the renewal date.
- How to cancel.
- iPhone: Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions.
- Android: Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions.
- Or use Settings → Manage subscription in the App, which opens these pages.
- After cancelling, Plus stays active until the end of the period you have paid for.
- Price changes. If we change a subscription price, the store will notify you in advance and, where required, ask for your agreement before the new price applies.
- Refunds. Refunds are handled by the store under its policies (for Apple: reportaproblem.apple.com; for Google: Google Play’s refund policies).
- Statutory rights are preserved. Nothing in these terms limits any right you have by law, including, if you are a consumer in the EU or UK, your statutory rights relating to cancellation of distance contracts and to digital content that is not in conformity. Those rights are exercised through the store where you bought, as described in its terms, or by contacting us.
6. Our commitments about Plus
- We will not take away a Plus feature you have already paid for during the period you have paid for. If we ever need to change or replace a feature, we will offer an equivalent or, where the law requires, a remedy.
- ”Lifetime” means for as long as we offer the App: Plus features with no further payments for the lifetime of the App, on the same store account. If we ever stop offering the App, the Plus features of your Lifetime purchase will keep working in the version installed on your device, as far as Apple, Google and your operating system allow. Lifetime is not a promise that the App or its features will exist forever, and it does not cover future separate products.
7. Your use of the App
Please use the App lawfully and respectfully. You must not misuse it, interfere with its operation, attempt to access systems or data you are not authorised to access, or use it to infringe anyone’s rights.
8. Content and intellectual property
- Ours. The App, its design, code, the texts we wrote and the selection and arrangement of its content belong to us or our licensors.
- Public domain. Traditional prayers and Scripture texts from public-domain sources remain free for everyone. Any artwork in the App comes from museum open-access collections and is credited in the App.
- Trademarks. “Apple”, “App Store”, “iPhone”, “Google Play” and “Android” are trademarks of their owners. Their mention does not imply endorsement.
9. Third-party services and links
- Payments and services. Payments are processed by Apple or Google. Subscription records are processed by our service provider RevenueCat, only after your consent (see the Privacy Policy).
- Links. Links to other websites (for example, daily readings) are provided for convenience. We are not responsible for their content.
- Your other terms. You must comply with any applicable third-party terms when using the App, for example your mobile network provider’s terms.
10. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data. In short, what you write stays only on your phone; the app sends usage statistics and crash reports unless you turn them off; ad measurement runs only if you allow it; and purchase records are processed only with your explicit consent.
11. Warranty and liability
- Consumer rights preserved. If you are a consumer, you have statutory rights (for example, the legal guarantee that digital content conforms to the contract). These terms do not limit them.
- As is. Subject to those rights, the App is provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that every feature will work on every device or operating-system version.
- What we never exclude. We do not exclude or limit liability for:
- death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
- fraud, wilful misconduct or gross negligence;
- any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law.
- Cap for non-consumers. Where you do not act as a consumer, and to the extent the law permits, our total liability for any claims relating to the App is limited to the amount you paid for Plus in the 12 months before the claim.
12. Minors
The App is suitable for all ages. If you are a minor, use it with the involvement of a parent or guardian. Purchases by minors require their approval through the store’s family features.
Where the law requires parental consent through the app store (for example, under Texas law), we will not enforce these terms against a minor who has not obtained that consent, and we use age information from the store only as described in the Privacy Policy.
13. Additional terms for the Apple App Store
If you obtained the App from the Apple App Store, your licence to use the App is granted by Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “Standard EULA”, https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/). These terms are not that licence agreement: they are supplementary terms that add the rules on Plus, content and privacy described here. If anything in these terms conflicts with the Standard EULA, the Standard EULA prevails for the App obtained from the App Store, without prejudice to the rights mandatory consumer law gives you.
14. Additional terms for Google Play
If you obtained the App from Google Play, your purchases are also governed by the Google Play Terms of Service, and Google is responsible for the payment and refund process described in its policies.
15. Changes
- The App. We may update the App, for example to fix errors, follow store rules, improve features or comply with law, subject to §6.
- These terms. We may update these terms for legitimate reasons, such as legal or store-rule changes or new features. We will show the new version in the App and update the effective date. If a change materially affects you, we will tell you in advance. Where the law requires, we will also notify the app stores before significant changes. Changes do not apply retroactively to purchases already made.
16. Ending
- You can stop using the App at any time by deleting it. Cancelling a subscription is done in the store (§5.4).
- We may suspend or end your licence if you seriously breach these terms. This does not affect Plus you have already paid for unless the breach justifies it under the law.
17. Governing law and disputes
- Governing law. These terms are governed by Italian law. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence (in the EU, under Regulation (EU) 1215/2012).
- Non-consumers. If you are not a consumer, the competent courts of Italy have jurisdiction.
- Contact us first. Before any formal dispute, please contact us at support@quietrosary.app. We will try to resolve it within 30 days.
